YEARLING LEADER STOLEN
Class of ’26 on Eve of Battle
Hear Leader is Domiciled
In Near-by City
At 9:30 this morning on Kincaid field
-will be staged one of the big events of
the fall term—the underclass mix. Hal
Simpson, sheik of the seniors, has sum
moned his impressive host to assemble
in front of the library at 9:15—just
15 minutes before sophomore-freshman
hostilities begin—promising the first 50
on the scene scintillating stellar decor
ations from sheets of tin.
On the eve of the battle of the sea
son, the freshmen found that they were
leaderless. Yesterday afternoon Eugene
Richmond, who on the previous evening
.at the special,meeting of the class of
’26 volunteered to assume the presi
dency of the yearlings, was kidnapped
from the campus, and according to news
prevalent around the University yes
terday, was temporarily domiciled in a
near-by city. This forced absence of
the freshman president from his class
during the organization for the im
broglio with the sophomores will likely
be interpreted as an overt act, and it
appears probable that persns who have
sought to make the presidency of the
frosli an honored position will disap
prove of the kidnapping.
Frosh Leader in Bin
Late yesterday evening freshman
scouts were traveling from house to
house, and it was rumored that a rescue
of the president would be attempted. No
definite information was received up
to the time of going to press concerning
the success of the parties suppsed to
be searching for the frosh prexy other
than the rumor that he had been placed
in an oat bin in Springfield.
Realizing that the clash between the
two classes on Kincaid this morning is
in danger of assuming a serious aspect,
Simpson has broadcast the ultimatum
that all seniors must be in front of the
library at the designated time, accou
tered with sombrero, belaying pin and
star. Although only 50 stars are to
be distributed by the senior president,
it has been made known that the senior
cop brigade is not to have a limited
number of members. Seniors can bring
their own stars.
“Obie” Commands Hosts
Del Oberteuffer, varsity yell leader
last year, this morning will be in com
mand of the senior cops. These cops
will proceed from the library to the
field of battle in military formation.
Detachments will leave the main group
to do police duty at a signal from the
commander.
This year the a;rangements for the
underclass mix have been in the hands
of the Tradition committee, composed
of Arthur Larson, Ray-McKeown, Larry
Cook, Dr. Dell Stannard and Dean John
Straub. Dr. Stannard is the alumni
representative on the committee and
Dean Straub is the faculty advisor. The
program which has characterized the
mixes of other years will be closely

BILL REINHART
BUILDERS STRIKE MUCK
WHICH CAUSES TROUBLE
Ancient Sea Floor Furnishes
Unsuitable Foundation
Excavations for the new journalism
building at the rear of McClure hall
yesterday brought to light the fact that
the structure must be erected over a
muck hole in the Oligocene sandstone.
Drills have been sunk into the soft sub
stance 19 feet, but no solid foundatoin
was found and contractors and the en
gineers have not yet decided what
course to take.
The area of muck, located in the
northeast corner of the excavated foun
dation, was at first thought to be a
“pot hole” in the sandstone which had
been washed out by the swirling waters
of the Willamette when the bed of that
river was on the west side of Skinners
butte, but Hubert Sehenck, graduate
of the department of geology and at
present assistant in the University geol
ogy laboratories, believes the soft, wet,
unstable earth is the result of disinte
grated sandstone; caused by some form
of water seepage, probably a leak in
the drainage system that passes near
the muck hole.
Roy Stien, one of the members of
the Stien brothers contractors, intends
to put in a concrete foundation, but
will not start work on the muck hole un
til a sufficient supply of concrete is
on hand. Water is coming into the
lower end of the excavation and it will
be necessary to put in the concrete work
as soon as a solid foundation is reached.
Contractors had similar difficulties
when the foundation for the Woman’s
building was laid. After construction
work on the walls had started it was
found that the base was too weak and
the workmen had to dig underneath to
put in added support.
Practically all of the alluvial de
posit of this part of the valley mantles
the Oligocene sandstone, deposited at
that distant time when an arm of the
sea swept over the region on which Eu
gene is now built. This sandstone dis
integrates very easily.
Who’s Who Misses Many Facts
About Professors at Oregon
Who’s Who in America knows the
names and achievements of nine members
of the present faculty of the University,
but is nevertheless not as well informed
concerning some of their qualifications
as many students on the campus.
President Campbell would lead the list,
if the University were to compile a
Who’s Who of its own. The Biograph
ical Dictionary of Notable Living Men
and Women of the United States tells
its readers that Prince Campbell was
graduated from Christian College, Mon
mouth, Oregon, in 1879, that he received
degrees from Harvard, Pacific Univer
sity and from the University of Colorado,
and a fact to students most important,
that he has been president of the Univer
sity of Oregon since 1902. An exam
ple of the president’s part in the life
of the University, is that at the student
body meeting at assembly last Thurs
day, when one of Oregon’s football
speakers stood up on the stage to give
the student body a little pep-talk. Presi
dent Campbell was noticed to be the first
man on his feet.
Young Once College Head
Dean Frederic G. Young of the depart
ment of sociology is not a native Ore
gonian, but as far as loyalty to Bez
dek’s “great state’’ and to the state
university, he's more of an Oregonian
than the Oregonians. He was president
of Albany College before he came to the
University which was in 1895. He was
one of the founders of the Oregon Histor
ical Society, secretary of the organization
since 1908, and is a writer and editor
of many works on sociology and admits
a strong interest in journalism. He re
ceived his A.B. from Johns Hopkins in
1886, and later, while a graduate stu
dent there, was a fellow student with
Woodrow Wilson. Dean Young’s hobby
and Saturday afternoon ocupation is his
fruit ranch a mile north of Springfield.
Dr. Torrey a Writer
Dr. Harry Beal Torrey, head of the
zoology department, is another who has
dipped a little into journalism. Dr. Tor
rey received the degree of M.S. from the
University of California in 1898, Ph.D.
from Columbia in 1903. Until 1912 he
was an instructor at Berkeley. He then
was professor of biology at Beed Col
lege. Portland, and two years ago came
to the University. In addition to his
work here, he has classes at the medical

New Stunts Likely Between
Halves of Oregon-W. S. C.
Football Game
OUTSIDE ALUMNI MAY COME
Graduates of Other Colleges
Will Be Asked to Take
Part in Program
Although the annual homecoming fes
tivities are still nearly a month away,
Leith Abbott, the publicity chairman
for the event has already formulated a
number of tentative plans, whereby ma
terial changes in the homecoming pro
grams of past years will be effected.
For years, according to Abbott, a cer
tain form and system has been followed
in the arrangement and execution of the
homecoming program to the extent that
the event has become hide-bound by
custom. For this reason Abbott strives
to instill new featurs and new life in
the affair.
New students in the parade held be
tween the halves of the Oregon-W. S. C.
game, according to Abbott, are partic
ularly desirable. What the new fea
tures will be, he is not yet prepared to
say, but is emphatic in stating that
something new will be staged by the
Oregon rooters when they gather on
Hayward field.
Secretary Making Inquiries
Efforts are already being made, not
only to have all of Oregon’s old grads
back for homecoming but to have the
graduates of other colleges who now
make their home in Oregon participate
in the event. Miss Grace Edgington,
the alumni secretary, is now engaged
in communicating with ,$lie alumni sec
retaries of other colleges in the United
! States, in order to get the .addresses of
j their graduates who are now residing
in Oregon. When located, invitations
will be mailed to these people by the
secretary of the Oregon alumni inviting
them to attend the activities.
Outsiders to Take Oath
According to Abbott, all graduates
of out-of-state colleges who make their
home in Oregon will be asked to take'
an oath of friendship towards the Uni
versity. It is planned to have Presi
dent Campbell administer the oath of
allegiance during homecoming.
No definite action concerning any of;
these plans can be taken until commit-!
tees for executing them are appointed. •
These appointments will be made with
in a few^ days.
DATES FOR LEAP WEEK
SET FOR OCT. 30-N0V. 4
Program Not Anonunced for Big Event;
Senior Males to Accept no
Early Dates
Due to a typographical error, the time
in which senior women will take the
initiative in the social life of the Uni
versity was announced in yesterday’s
; Emerald as October 13 until November j
4. The correct dates, according to the
J committee of which Margaret Jackson
is chairman, are from Monday, October
| 30, until Saturday night, November 4. j
Miss Jackson, with her committee,
Bee Morrow, Buth Fowler, Imogene
Letcher, and Inez King, are working out
the details of the week’s festivities.
She is quite anxious that anyone who
has an idea for a novel feature for!
Senior Leap week turn it in to one of
the committee.
“We want,” said Miss Jackson, “to
make this week an occasion which will
be outstanding among the memories of
our University days.”
The exact program will not be an- j
nounced until a later date, but rumor
has it that the most successful of last
year’s entertainments will be dupli
cated.
Senior men are warned to observe the [
ruling of the committee and to be very
wary about accepting dates made before
the “open season,” which will be an
nounced later. All dates made before
this time will not bind either of the
contracting parties.
VALUABLE BOOKS MISSING
Two valuable volumes, “Attainable
Ideals in Newspaper Advertising,” are
missing from the room in the journalism
“shack” formerly occupied by Prof.
W. F. G. Thacher. The two books were
left in the cupboard at the bottom of
a large case on the south wall of the
room. All other material removed from
the case when the room was renovated
for class work has been recovered. Pro
fessor Thacher values the volumes very
highly and persons knowing anything
about their whereabouts are requested
; to inform him.
Crippled Team Goes

LEMMT TO APPEAR
WITH MANY NOVEL
FEATURESTUESDAY
Syncopation Number Contains
32 Pages; Ray Bethers
Does Cover
PRIZEWINNERS ANNOUNCED
Sport and Movie Writeups to
Be Offered; New Staff
Is Appointed
Resplendent in its cover ot‘ bright
blue and black, the syncopation num
ber of the Lemon Punch will make its
appearance on the campus next Tues
day. Containing 32 pages of new and
unusual features, special art work, and
snappy specials, the coming Leinmy,
which will be the lirst of the college
year, is expected to surpass all former
editions.
“Syncopation” in all its wierd and
blase details will be amply and aptly
described by Herb Larson. His out
burst is termed by all who have seen
it to be the “knock-out” of the season.
“The Pitiful Plight of the Prepper” is
told by the literary combination of L.
Crone and Stewart Sawtelle, and “Doe”
Braddock, editor, again holds forth in
“History as She is Writ.” Ted Osburne
has supplied dozens of snappy captions
and jokqp for this opening number.
, New Features Offered
Entirely new features of the punch

dramatic reviews for some time past,
and now blooms forth with a surprising
ly interesting outburst on tlio current
movie attractions.
Art work will take an important
place in the publication this issue, as
in all those to follow. Ray Bethers,
now a profession! illustrator, has drown
the cover, which is caried out in every
detail in true syncopation style. Bee
Morrow has also contributed a page
illustration, and Stu Biles, Claude 8now
and Bill Nettleship havo each added
considerable to the comic by their many
drawings.

night of tlie winners in the subscrip
tion campaign conducted since the open
ing day of school by Milton Brown,
circulation manager. The first prize of
ten dollars goes to Mary Hathaway,
while the second prize for women, a
handsome loving cup, was won by both
Inez King and Isabelle Hollister. It
is not yet decided whether the cup will
be divided or drawn for. Don Wood

YELL KING NEEDS HELPERS
Only Five Men Have Expressed Wish
to Try Out for Positions
Art Eosebraugh, varsity yell king,
desires more applicants for positions
on the yell staff. Up to yesterday eve
ning only five men had expressed their
intentions of trying out during the Ore
gon Multnomah game this afternoon,
and all these men were freshmen. All
applicants have been requested to re
port in front of the Hayward grand
stand at 2 o’clock.
The E. O. T. C. band will be on hand
for the game today, and Eosebraugh
expects that the Thundering Thousand
will unlimber in mid-season style. Later
in the season the members of the band
are to have a uniform.

FROSH SQUAD LEAVES
10 PLAY HAT. ANGEL
“Oregon Fight” Only Thing
Conceded Frosh
Handicapped by the luck of sufficient
practice coupled with injuries to some
of their best men, a Frosh football
squad of 2d, accompanied by Coaches
Bn/, Williams and “Sheet” Manerud,
will board the train this morning for
•St. Benedict, Oregon, where they will
open the season against the strong Mt.
Angel collegians this afternoon.
Because of the fact that the Catholic
gridsters have had at least a month’s
more practice than the Oregon yearlings
and are said to havo the best team that
has represented them in years, tho
freshmen are conceded to havo little
chance of victory over them. However,
Oregon teams have boen noted for spill
ing tho dope in years past, and with
plenty of tight and spirit the 1920 ag
gregation may possibly return with the
laurels tonight. “The men are all hard
workers and have tho making of real
football warriors,” said Baz last night
in commenting on the chances. “Kvon
though they are inexperienced as yet,
superiority in light may give them tho
victory tomorrow.”
The Frosh squad is composed of tiro
following men: Centers, Oosser, Wilcox,
Pearson and McMillan; guards, Hunt,
and Bailey; tackles, Maddux, Bliss
Maut/. and Sinclair; ends, Toole, Mays,
Carl berg and Scripture; quarterback,
Anderson; fullbacks, Brosterhouse,
Mills and Shreove; halfbacks, l’oulsen,
l’urvine, Stoddard and Nave. .,•
Though Baz is not absolutely certain
as to the lineup which will start the
contest, the Frosh will probably answer
the opening whistle with tho combina
tion of Oosser at center, Hunt and Bai
ley guards, Maddox and Muntz, tackles,
Toole and Mays ends, Anderson, quar
terback, i’oulsen and Purvine half
backs, and Brosterhouse fullback. It
is very probable that every one of the
remaining eleven players will get into
the game before it is over.
SOPHS REMT DREAMLAND
Canipa Shoppe Taken by Seniors; Men’s
Gym Scene of Junior Dance
After considering the plan of holding
the sophomore class party in the Sun
Room of the Woman’s building, as an
nounced in the Emerald Thursday morn
ing, the second year folk decided to
change the place of meeting. The class
of ’25 will therefore hold forth tonight
at the Dreamland, where they will be
free, to enjoy themselves, far removed
from the disturbing presence of fresh
men. Vice versa for the frosh, who
stole a march on the sophomores by re
serving early the main floor of the wo
men’s gymnasium for their party.
The seniors will disport themselves
at the Oampn Shoppe, and the juniors
will dance in the men’s gym. The sen
iors wish it to be plainly understood
that there arc to be no dates, but the
junior men have not fared so well, since
they have been left to the mercy of the
women for dates for the dance. During
the last three days the girls have been
casting speculative glances about at the
men for possible prospects. It is ru
mored that not many dates have been
made so far, due, perhaps, to the inex
prience of the feminine date makers,
and obviously to their inherent timidity
to take such a momentous step. The
girls, however, are confident that there
I will be dates a-plenty before tonight.
All the parties will be informal, with
school clothes the order of the evening.
I The idea is to mingle naturally and ei
| ther renew acquaintances or make new
| ones—do both if possible.
VARSITY IRKING
ILL, BUT STARS
REMAIN ON SHELF
Coaches Have Slight Hope of
Strong Showing Against
Multnomah Men
EX-OREGONIANS COMING
Steers, Reinhart, and Others
In Visitors Camp; Faulk
Training Foe
Tito crippled Varsity lines up against
Multnomah today minus the services
of Hal Chapman, quarterback; “Hutch”
Gram, halfback; McCraw and Akers
from the line; but Chuck I’arsons, who
was badly injured in the Willamette
contest, has practically recovered and
will probably be seen in the lineup at
some time during the game.
The lineup which will face the Port
land team will bo composed of Johnson,
Latham, Jordan and King in the baek
fiold, while the line will have Bvler at
center, Reed and Floyd Shields as
guards, MeKoown and Vender Alio as
tackles and Mrown and Spear on the
flank positions.
Floyd Shields’ leg was injured in
scrimmage early in the week and it was
thought for a time that the team would
bo further weakened by his loss, but
ho appeared in the regular linoup last
night and is slated to start the game
today.
Two Teams Comidg
The Club is bringing two full teams
from Portland for the game today,
among them being sovoral former Ore
gon stars in the persons of Brick Leslie,
Bill Steers, Billy Reinhart, Evorett
Brandenbcrg and the two Jaeobborg
ers. Clipper Smith, who starred on
Notro Diano teams during his college
days, now seems to bo the big man on
the visiting eleven.
Most of the Club teams which have
appeared here in the past against the
Varsity elevens have shown a decided
lack of training, but this season under
the tutelage of Coach Faulk, a former
University of Washington star, the
team is said to bo practicing at least
three or four times a week and are
doped to be nearly on a par with the
Varsity in condition.
Coaches Not Hopeful
The coaching staff is decidedly pessi
mistic as far as this game is concerned,
and say they will consider themselves
decidedly lucky if they come through
with a win. The team in scrimmage
this week has been working better than
at any time during tho year and will
show more drive than was exhibited in
either the Pacific or Willamette games,
the coaches predict.
The visitors are evidently in fear of
the forward pass attack by which Ore
gon succeeded in wresting a 21 to 7
victory from them last year, and ac
