ERUPTION Of KOI
FIRE MID THUNDER
PUH TONIGHT
Fireworks Will be Handed
Out to Participants
in Parade
OREGON KNIGHTS DIRECT
Alumni Section Reserved for
Former Students; All
Wanted Out
The eruption is set for 7 o ’clock
this evening. Pyroclastic, thunderous
volcanic eruptions are not usually
scheduled ahead of time, but “Obie,”
chief campus seismologist, has his
Vesuvius caged and the subterranean
fires nicely banked for the greatest
noisefest of the college year.
It is going to be one wild time. The
impersonal pronoun is used to refer
to the Homecoming rally because Web
ster compiled his compendium of lexi
cographical information in the pro
gram of the rally, which will wend its
noisy illumined course from the li
brary down through the business sec
tion of Eugene and back to the scene
of the frosh blaze, one finds the Web
ster’s synonyms for noise and spirit
are inappropriate for a realistic < e
scription of this scheduled eruption of
Oregon fun and welcome.
Fireworks to be Given
Enough fireworks will be distributed
to last the paraders all the way down
town and back to Kincaid, with the
exception of having plenty of red fire
and skvrockets left to touch up ®
frosh smudge as the great bank of
smoke rolls toward the skies. Every
student is expected to be in line with
some contraption in tow to assist his
vocal organs.
There has been some misconception
as to whether the big time this even
ing is to be a pajama rally or not. It
is not to be a pajama rally. Concern
ing the desirability of having the wo
men in the parade, the yell staff has
stated that there will be a place and
plenty of room in the parade for the
women, or if they do not desire to
swell the rollicking ranks they are at
least expeeted to take part in the cele
bration on the sidewalks.
Contest is Progressing
The contest for noise producing in
struments is coming along fine, said
“Obie.” Organizations which have
not yet turned in their entries for this
contest are requested to notify Jack
Mvers, phone 127, before noon today.
Oberteuffer is the general chairman
of the Homecoming rally. “Ole” Lar
son has taken charge of the bonfire
rally and the street dance, to be held
on University street immediately after
the conflagration and speeches. Art
Bosenbraugh has been made chairman
of the fireworks committee. The rally
parade has been planned and routed by
Jack Mvers. He will be assisted by a
committee from the Oregon Knights,
with Jimmie Meek as chief. The Oregon
Knights will have complete charge of
the welfare of the participants in the
rally and will see that all is run off
in time.
Cups Given at Dance
Judges to decide the winner of the
silver loving cup to be given to the
winner of the noise-making entries will
be picked from the faculty and from

met with in arriving at the game.
It is intended to show O. A. C.
such hospitality as they never have
seen before. According to the offic
ials, this can only be done through
the prompt co-operation of every mem
ber of the student body.
TWO DRIVES RESTRICTED
near east and student be
lief CAMPAIGNS LIMITED
No Organized Canvass on Campus is
Sanctioned; All Giving to be
On Voluntary Basis
Two proposed drives to be held on
the University campus were refused
sanction by the new friendship com
mittee which met last night. The Near
i East relief drive and the European stu
j dents friendship committee’s campaign
for funds were the movements which
1 asked to stage organized drives.
The reason for the refusal, accord
ing to Raymond Lawrence, chairman of
the committee, was that many of the
students cannot afford to give to these
campaigns, and if the drives were
staged the students would be almost
forced to contribute. The committee
regarded these causes as worthy of
support, but felt that the present time
was inopportune.
The Near East drive which is a state
wide movement could reach the Uni
versity students through its downtown
organization. The campaign for money
to assist college students of poverty
stricken countries, which is to be car
ried on only in American colleges was
thought to be a good cause, and stu
dents should give to it if they thought
they could afford it. So the committe:
in charge of this fund will be allowed
to establish a booth where voluntary
contributions may be made.
One of the main objections which
! the friendship committee made to the
drives which are not staged by stu
dent organizations was that they were

Varsity Fit and Ready for Fray
SATURDAY’S GAME
TWENTY-FIFTH TUT
HI TIME RIVALS
Huntington Has His Men at
Fighting Pitch to Meet
Powell and Company
By EP HOYT
Will Hayward field taste its first
defeat tomorrow afternoon or will the
Oregon team light and inexperienced
but full of fight turn back the Aggie
onrush and keep the new gird’s record
clean? For Hayward field dedicated
so fittingly in 1919 with a 9-0 defeat
of these same Aggies has never yet
seen a Lemon-Yelloy eleven conquered.
Then as now big “Gap” Powell was
the point of the Ag attack, but big
Gap with his 200 pounds of beef was
unable to pierce the Oregon line when
gains meant touchdowns, for always in
the shadow of their goal posts the var
sity held and big Powell was turned
back.
Powell comes again for his last
.crack at Oregon on Hayward field,
in an Ag uniform. The O. A. C. cap
tain is heralded as a star by the col
legians and their attack has been built
around him, with able and heavy as
sistants in Kasberger, Summers and
Miller. Save in the Washington game
Powell has failed to show much stuff
this year and as he was out practically
the entire season in 1920 it will be up
to the big fellow to show all he’s got
tomorrow.
The game will be the 25th between
the two institutions, 15 times has Ore
gon been returned winner while the
Aggies have come out on top but four
times, while five of these contests have
resulted in tie scores. “Once every
ten years, Aggies” has ceme to be
something of a superstition with ' the
Oregon fans, for the farmers annexed
a win in 1897, in 1907 and in 1917. On
this basis they shouldn’t win until
1927. But—
Those Planted Pennies
Perhaps this seems too long to wait,
for Coach Rutherford, as he went on
record in the Oregonian recently as
predicting an Aggie win in spite of
the fact they aren’t due for many
moons yet. Probably Rutherford isn’t
superstitions and went through the
penny planting rites on Hayward field
last winter in the rain and mud of
a February day with the idea of fi
nancial gain on the increase from the
seed.
Or again perhaps the Aggie coach
figures that pennies properly planted
in the “dark of the moon” are sure
proof against a superstition that they
can win only one game every ten
years. Maybe the pennies at Stan
ford weren’t planted deep enough.
On the eve of the “battle of the
century” the varsity is fit and ready
for the fray with the farmers. While
Huntington is non-committal in re
gard the outcome of the game he is
satisfied that his men are going to
fight their hardest and that counts a
lot against O. A. C. The work was
lightened yesterday and there will be
just enough this afternoon to keep the
boys limbered up and in shape for
the Aggies.
ORATORS TREATED TO EGGS
Ye Tabard Inn Neophytes Talk; Be
come Targets of Barrage
Reserving their gems of literary in
spirations for the printed page, the
trio of Sigma Hpsilon neophytes who
appeared before the unappreciative
student audience in front of the library
yesterday morning in primeval uniform
attempted to treat the crowd to some
pointed jokes, but found that the
audience also was in a joking mood.
Gene Whitten was first man at bat.
His noisy audience began pdgeing the
Oregon Knights and the scenery was
changed. Blue and Larson pulled some
tell-me-Bastus comedy which brought
down an omellete barrage from a bat
terv in the rear. The eggs smeared
the front of the building, but no hits
were registered.

O.A. C. Campus Confident and
Rutherford’s Team in Trim,
Latest Word from College
By K. L. BINNS
Sports Editor, O. A. C. Barometer
Oregon Agricultural CoHege, Corval
lis, Nov. 17.—Truly, Saturday should
be a great day.
The sport writers of the coast are
apparently agreed that the Aggies’
only chance against Shy Huntington's
battlers is to hide an axe under their
jerseys, and, when the referee isn’t
looking, hit their opponents with it,
and then go through.
But, on the campus at O. A. C,, the
general feeling lin’t like that. Every
man and woman feels that Coach
Rutherford and his cohorts will uncork
something unusual—something brilliant
—Which will set the Lemon-Yellow ag
gregation figuratively on its ear—and
bring home the mate title to Corvallis.
In last Friday’s game with the Cou
gars, when little Moe Sax romped down
the field with the winning touchdown,
many were the comments, “If Oregon
outplayed those boys by three touch
! downs, we ’re gonna have a hard job.”
j And that’s the sentiment today.
Aggie fight always reaches its
| highest pitch on the day of the Oregon
! game. Consequently fight will be all
| prevalent—and the game won’t be over
till the final whistle. Eyen Andy
! Smith, who wants to beat Stanford
j by a 100 to 0 score, should know bet
j ter—for state teams, intent on battle,
■ never let the score run high. Not if
they are any ways near evenly matched.
Bo the Aggie-Oregon contest will un
doubtedly be close.
Injuries on the squad are minor—
and they will bo forgotten Saturday.
Reports that the' team is stale may be
true, and they may not. Even the
coach doesn’t know. He says they
have learned all the football he and
his assistants can teach them—“Dad”
Butler says ho has trained them as
carefully as he can—and the final test
will come on Hayward field.
Here’s what Coach “Dick” says:
“Oregon will not outfight O. A. C.,
and if the team plays the football they
are capable of Oregon will know she
has been through a real football game.
“Dope indicates that Oregon should
win by one or two touchdowns, but
the team is not discouraged and will
be out there battling the full 00 min
utes.”
The entire squad—30 men—will
make the trip. The lineup to start the
game may be switched at the last
moment—but here’s what’s doped out
now: Powell, full; Miller and Sum
jmers, halves; Kasberger, quarter; Mc
Fadden, left end; Locev, left tackle;
Christensen, left guard; Stewart, cen
' ter; Hayden, right guard; Crowell,
right tackle; and Tousey, right end.
The crew will arrive in Eugene
Saturday yiorning—with about 3000
rooters. Selah!
SIXTY-PIECE BUND TO PUT
MEMBERS TO BE EXCUSED FROM
OTHER DUTIES SATURDAY
Final Rehersal to be This Morning at
R. O. T. C. Barracks; Upperclass
men Are Asked to Assist
Through the efforts of Captain F.
C. Lewis, of the R. O. T. 0., and Lyle
Bartholomew, president of the A. 8.
U. O., a 60-piece band has been organ
ized to take part in the Homecoming
program. Due to the fact that many
members of the band had been ap
pointed on committees of the Oregon
Knights and other arrangement com
mittees, it was thought that the band
idea might have to be abandoned,
but this difficulty finally' has been
adjusted.
Members of the band who were asked
to act on committees have been ex
cused from duty and their places
filled, since it was felt by the Home
coming committee and the student of
ficers that the band was very essential
to the success of the program.
"In behalf of the associated stu
dents, I respectfully request all organi
i zations to excuse band men from doty
Saturday from 11 o’clock on,” declared

By LEITH ABBOTT
The Oregon clan is gathering. Prom
bonier to border the echoing battle cry
has been heard and this morning finds
hundreds of loyal sons and daughters
of Mighty Oregon speeding to their
old homeland. Last night saw the
vanguard of the vast army of home
comors descend upon the campus. This
morning the columns of the mighty
throngs roll in. They are coming in
scores and hundreds, by train and by
automobile. Tonight will find the
fighting hosts assembled. By noon
tomorrow the campus will be trod by
the greatest army of Oregonites ever
assembled. Imbued with fight are
these brothers and sisters. Fight—the
Oregon fight—upon which they have
been nurtured. They aro ’’Home to
meet ’em. Back to beat ’em.”
New Record Bought
Oregon has received national Inter
collegiate attention for the way in
which the institution has staged its
annual Homecoming. Realizing this,
a large campus committee has worked
incessantly during the past six weeks
to make this year’s program surpass
those of the past. With the time for
the firing of the opening gun now but
a few hours distant there are none to
Ray the committee has not succeeded.
Traditional events have been kept and
new features added. Prom % o’clock
tonight until early Sunday morning
the campus will be the liveliest spot
in Oregon.
The stage is set. The homecoming
organization, like a well oiled machine,
awaits only the appointed hour tonight
to sot the riotous week-end into mo
tion with the big noise rally. The
Homecoming spirit is in the air. The
frosh bonfire is completed and it rears
its illuminated tip on historic Kincaid
