ENVOY 10 VIKINGS
TO BE INTRODUCED
TO STUDENT GROUP
Richard S. Smith Will Appear
in Weekly Assembly Before
Leaving for North
ENVOYS MEET IN PORTLAND
University Representatives to
Attend Dinner for Alumni
on Thursday
By Clinton Howard
Homecoming, 1922, will be introduc
ed to the students of the University,
at the Thursday morning assembly,
when the student body band blares
forth the old Oregon songs, and Kobert
Kuykendall, president of the Alumni
association, President P. L. Campbell
of the University, and President John
MacGregor of the Associated Students
present to Richard Shore (Dick) Smith,
Oregon’s premier football player, the
right to represent the Oregon clans at
the gathering of the Washington Vik
ings.
Smith is probably the greatest foot
ball player that Oregon has ever pro
duced, and he certainly is in line for
that title with regard to the entire wes
tern United States. For two years he
captained the Oregon trams and for
three other years he played various po
sitions on that time, a total of five
years in Oregon’s service on the grid- j
iron, over and above anything he did j
on the track and field.
Answers Oregon’s Call
He coached later Oregon teams. Now !
after some years of private life, he re- ;
sponds once more to the eall of his 1
alma mater. He is an example of the
sort of thing that makes old Oregon
famous—her men and her women.
When the call of love for Oregon en
ters a man’s life it is difficult to resist,
as exemplified by Smith’s acceptance of
the ambassadorship.
Reminding the students of the sol
emn occasion, the band will station it
self in front of the Woman’s building
and ‘‘beat the air with loud crashes of
music” for this is an assembly extra
ordinary. the keynote and initial blare
and blast of the Homecoming trumpets.
Oregon accredits and sends forth her
ambassador!
Envoys to Meet
Immediately following the assembly, |
Robert Kuykendall and Dick Smith
will leave for Portland where they will
arrive about six o ’clock, in time for the j
alumni dinner, to be given jointly in
honor of Smith and King Dykeman,
Washington's ambassador to the Ore
gon Homecoming. Already the Wash
ington and Oregon newspapers through
out the two states have spread widely
“The Tale of the Two Ambassadors.”
On Friday morning. Smith will con
tinue on his way to Washington where
he will be met by the alumni president,
and Dykeman will continue his trip to
Eugene with Kuykendall.
In addition to the presentation of
Smith’s credentials by the three pres- ■
idents at Thursday’s assembly, the glee
clubs will sing Oregon songs.

TWO-GUN MOVIE MAN’S
NAMESAKE ON CAMPUS
Oregon’s Bill Hart Dramatic Major;
First Appearance to Be in “The
Scarlet Pimpernel”
Beady? Action! Camera! Pop it
up! Draw both guns at once! More
action!
Fair co-eds and trusting readers, do
not be surprised if some day you hear
the above being barked out on the cam
pus, because—Bill Hart is here! How
ever he is not the same “Big Bill” of
two gun fame you see on the movie
scren, but only his namesake. An Em
erald newshound succeeded in penetrat
ing his incognito in spite of the flat
hat he wears.
Oregon’s Bill Hart is registered in
dramatics and naturally making great
strides in his vocation. He differs
slightly in appearance from the movie
“Big Bill” but nevertheless has the
same steel blue eyes, firm broad chin,
expressive eyebrows and Hartian phy
sique.
Bill’s first dramatic appearance on
the campus wil be as a bar-room round
er in the coming Guild hall production,
“The Scarlet Pimpernel.”
For any other information about Bill,
see him at the Chi Psi house.
The Scottish Game Has Come
to Match the Baggy Pants
Long have we had in our midst the
wearers of the baggy draping knee
trousers; the multicolored, turned over
at the top, stockings; the flat soled
shoes; and the formless sweater. For
such is the accoutrement of the golfist.
“But where, oh, where,” has been the
question, “is the golf green, the golf
clubs, and the little white balls.” The
campus cynic, in words which are typ
ical, belches forth and wonders, “Poor
souls! Knoweth thev what golf balls
aref”
But no longer does the wearer of
such clothes have to explain. He has
an excuse, for golf, the game, is com
ing into its own on the University of
Oregon campus, along with the clothes.
Up in the men’s gymnasium, far
from sight, and out of the trodden
paths, a golf professional rules in his
domain. One, with the aid of a guide,
goes through many doors, and finds
himself in the sanctum of the followers
of the ancient Scottish pastime. ’Tis
a small room, bare with the exception
of olie end whch is decorated from ceil
ing to floor with loosely hanging can
vas strips.
“What isf What is? The dressing
room of the tumblers?”
“No, fool! ’Tis our indoor golf
green. The canvas stoppeth the balls,
which are heaved into it from tees
placed at this end of the room.”
And outside on the campus some
where lies the University golf course.
Four holes, going out, and as many as
you like coming in. Par anywhere be
tween 39 and 59 for the present.
So much for that. Now seriously,
Oregon is the only university in the
world, it is said, where instruction in
golf is administered. All men who have
passed the P. E. test may choose it as
their sport. A professional is in charge,
and sooner or later golf will be a minor
sport at Oregon.
SIXTEEN GAMES
ON SCHEDULE FOR
VARSITY OUINTET
Seven Letter Men Are Back
at University as Basis
of This Year’s Team
“HUNK” LATHAM TO PLAY
Bohler Plans Barnstorming
Trip Before Conference
Struggles Start
With seven letter men together with
last year’s subs and last year’s fresh
man team from whom to pick a basket
ball team, Oregon will enter the confer
ence hoop struggle this season with its
strongest quintet since the days of Ed
die Durno. “Hunk” Latham, who play
ed such a stellar game at center two
years ago, but who was not back from
the football trip to Hawaii in time to
try out for basketball last year, will
be out in a suit again.
There are six lettermen in school this
term, and the seventh, Haddon Rock
hey, will be back for basketball sea
son. The six men are Latham, Edlnnd,
Zimmerman, Couch, Goar, and Burnett.
; This leaves but three men from last
| year’s squad, Mare Latham, “Rol”
Andre, and “Franc” Boiler, who will
; not be in a suit this year. In addition
to these men, there are several of last
year’s “transfers” who are eligible
this year. Earl Shafer came here last
year from Willamjtte, where he was
one of the mainstays of the “Bearcat”
squad.
Barnstorming Trip Planned
The first call for basketball men will
not be sounded by Coach Bolder until
the holidays, when the team will take
a barnstorming iour on which they will
play several practice games. “Two
weeks work in vacation,” says Bolder,
“is better than two months during
school, when the men have classes.”
“This trip,” Coach Bolder went on
to say, “will give the new men a
chance to play under strange condi
tions, on different floors, and with
other lighting arrangements.”
The only radical change in the ar
rangement of the schedule this year
will be that each traveling team will
play but one game with each home
team in place of two as was the case
last year. This will give the traveling
team a lighter schedule while on the
i trip. A few minor changes have been
I made in Oregon’s schedule since it was
j given out at the first of the year. The
game that was scheduled with Willam
ette here January 12 has been post
poned until January 19, and in place
of that game the varsity will play a
double header with North Pacific Den
tal College and Pacific University,
i Following is the revised schedule:
| Jan. 12.»0 vs. N. P. Dental College and
Pacific U. at Eugene.
13. O vs. Multnomah Club at Port- j
land.
19. O vs. Willamette at Eugene. .
20. O vs. Idaho at Eugene.
25. O vs. U. of W. at Eugene.
27. O vs. Willamette at Salem.
Feb. 2. O vs. O. A. C. at Corvallis.

STUDENTS KEEP ORDER
WHEN LIGHTS GO OUT
Matches Used to Identify Books In Re
serve Section of Commerce Li
brary; Room Deserted
Can you picture a library at night
with flickering matches as the sole
source of illumination? It is hard to
believe but that is what happened in
the reserve section of the library in the
Commerce building on Thursday eve
ning when the fuses burned out.
There was a very audible “oh” when
darkness fell so suddenly but very soon
those fortunate persons who were equip
ped for such emergencies, with the aid
of the old “safeties” sent forth feeble
beams of light.
Unfortunately, from the standpoint
of the “news gatherer,” there was no
confusion or excitement of any kind.
Orderly lines were formed before the
windows at the reserve desk and fortun
ately the match supply was available
until the librarian, with the pale light
but mostly by touch and intuition was
able to hand out books to all the appli
i cants. Even by this time the source
of trouble had not been found, so con
sidering the disadvantages of studying
by the light of a match, the reading
rooms were soon deserted.
Campus Prepares
for Grads’ Return
and Armistice Day
Homecoming and Peace Celebration Feature This
Week-end When Oregon Alumni Come to Take
Part in Rally and See Frosh Pyre Burn; Flag
Raising Before Game Saturday
Great aft have been many of Oregon’s
past Homecomings, this celebration al
i the University will pass the fond mem
| ories of the old grads by many strides
| if present plans are a criterion. Bally
bonfire, alumni reunion, peace celebra
tion parade, flag raising, Oregon's ad
option and oath of friendship to sons
of other schools, who live within her
domain, and the football game spell the
success of this year’s Homecoming.
Of this year’s features, named above
and others not named, such as tho
Homecoming dance, and the exchange
of ambassadors of Oregon with Wash
ington, three are new, being tried for
the first time, and one, an old tradition,
has been altered.
I The freshman bonfire, traditionally
j lias been built by the frosh as high and
as wide as they wanted it, but this year
it cannot be. Too many freshmen have
flunked out in years past from over
work on the pyre, aud too, approximate
ly one-third of the class have done most
of the construction. This year, with
the faculty ruling of a pyre to be not
| over -10 feet high, as wide as desired
j and to cost not over $150, the frosh
! class has been organized to the last de
j gree, according to the bonfire commit
| tee, consisting of 25 captains, each in
j command of ten workers.
The poles for the pyre were erected
on Sunday afternoon, and nothing will
be done now in the way of construction
or gathering of material until Thursday
afternoon. At present, the captains of
the 25 teams are scouring the town to
locate wood which will bo gathered on
Thursday afternoon aud night. Thoy
are also making the round of garages
which will promise to save for them
the waste oil and grease, rags and other
inflammable material.
One of the new features in this
year’s Homecoming is the merger of
tho Homecoming and Armistice day
celebrations. Since the war, Armistice
day, Homecoming and Thanksgiving
vacation all coming in November in the
last half of the fall term, and just bo
for the final term examinations, have
I proved a source of annoyance to both
students and faculty.
Hence, this year the University is
cooperating with the Eugene and Lane
posts of the American Legion, in stag
ing an “everybody in” parade of
townspeople and University students
alike. Ralf Couch, chairman of the
student parade committee, urges all
j organizations to see that their members
turn out for this event and join in the
line of march, which will be down Wil
! lamette street, from Sixth street, to
Eleventh. The parade will leave the
Armory at 10:15 Saturday morning.
The flag raising which will take
place before the game Saturday after
noon, the piece de resistance of the en
j tire celebration, will be another_ way
'of commemorating Armistice day. Ralf
[ Couch and the Armistice -Uny commit
tee are cooperating with the student
body in the raising of the flag pole
which will be a permanent feature of
i the campus. The University and the
I-Legion are sharing half and half the
, expense of the erection. Lynn Mc
j Cready, ’10, is representing the local
! post of the Legion in this matter.
I Oregon’s adoption of alien alumni
is to bo one of the features of Home
coming. It. is one of the innovations
of this Homecoming, and the ceremony
will take place on Hayward field be
tween the halves of the game. Charles
Lamb, chairman of the naturalization
committee is in charge of this.
The .-ally on Friday, an old stand-by
feature of the University’s Homecom
ings, is in the hands of Jack Myers
and the rally committee. Myers reports
that thus far the committee has ob
ained approximately do trucks, and ex
pects to obtain as many more, so that
the entire student body, all the visit
ors, and the “alums” may ride.
Myers compliments the Eugene own
ers of trucks for tneir loyalty to the
University in lending the use of their
machines, gratis. In regard to the
anise-making contrivances in the par
ade, the committee offers a prize of a

TICKETS ON SALE FOR
HOUGHING BALL
Admission Will Be One Dollar;
Two Dances Planned
Tickets :ire on sale this morning.—
Tickets for Oregon’s Homecoming Ball,

of the college year, when the present
and future “alums” mingle as the one
hig, everlasting student body of the
State University, and the governor
opens the ball!
Tickets will be on sale at the Co-op
and through a representative in each
of the men’s organizations at the price
of one dollar. That price of one dol
lar guarantees plenty of room and good

luncor and dancte according to Owen
Cailaway, vice-pr?sulent of the .-tiiuent
body and chairman of the dance <_ on
muee.
Furthermore the committee in charge,
through Callaway, the chairman
forecasts a good time for all when Ore
gonites break loose for fun. The stress
and strain of the parade, the rally, and
the game is over, and everyone is ready
to make merry, and rnerfy, and merrier
until the limit in the wee Nina ’ hours is
reached.
Two startling statements made by
Callaway yesterday regarding the set
ting of the dance in the Woman’s buil
ding were—“The punch will harmonize
with the scenery and the scenery with
the punch, which is changeable” and
“The committee is behind the setting
around the theme of a South Sea island
setting, and a hula dancer will be es
pecially imported from the islands for
the feature dance of the evening.”
Late yesterday afternoon the com-!
mittee did not know the name of the j
dancer, who is expected to arrive in
Portland ou one of the boats of the
Pacific fleet. Her name will be an
nounced as soon as it is learned on the
campus.
Patrons and patronesses of the affair
will V>e announced at a later date. Ac
cording to the plans of the committee,
freshmen and sophomores will dance at
the Armory, and upperclassmen, guests,
and “alums” will go to the Woman’s
' building.

CHARLES PARSONS
INJURED; OUT Of
CAME FOR SEASON
Backfield Man Will Be Greatly
Missed by Coaches and
Rest of Team
CAMPBELL TO BE ELIGIBLE
215 Pound Man Makes Varsity
Line Strong; Squad to
Be in Shape
Cli(trios “Chuck” Parsons, one of the
boat backficld men that Oregon has
had this year, had to quit football this
week as the result of an injury receiv
ed in the Whitman game. This further
reduces the eligible candidates for Ore
gon s offensive in the homecoming
game against Washington Stato this
week-end.
Parsons was kicked in the side dur
ing the Whitman game, but went on
playing nevertheless, until late last
week, when he went to the infirmary
for an examination after his side had
failed to improve during the week. The
examination showed that his side had
been badly bruised, and the doctor or
dered him to lay off football for the
rest of the year.
Chuck will be missed greatly as
Coach Huntington had been counting
on him for the Washington Stato game,
and had been working him with the
1-athain, Chapman, King combination.
Hutch Gram has practically recovered
from all injuries now though, and ei
ther he or Ward Johnson will fill in
the other backficld position.
The loss of Parsons is offset by the
fact that Cogs Campbell is now defin
itely eligible, and will probably make
his varsity debut in the Homecoming
contest, as he has been working out
with the Varsity for some time. Cogs
weighs 215 pounds and uses it to good
advantage, so his addition will streng
then nn already good line.
The addition, makes the lino strong
from end to end as the lineup against
the Cougars probably will be Callison
at center, Tiny and Floyd Shields as
guards, Cogs Campbell and Vender Ahe
as tackles and Kud Brown and Bill
Spear as ends.
Many football fans are predicting
that tho Varsity will easily wallop the
W. S. C. eleven here this week, judg
ing from the slap they were handed
by the California Bears at Berkeley
Saturday, the final count being fit to I)
in favor of the aforesaid Bruins, but
Coach Huntington predicts that Ore
gon is up against their hardest game
this week-end and says the Varsity will
bo lucky to win at all, let alone run up
any score on the Cougars.
The fact that California ran up such
a count merely goes to prove that their
oleven is on a par with their famous
team last year, and tho Oregon coaches
look for the southern men to easily de
feat the University of Washington at
Seattle this Saturday.
The Varsity men will be in the best
condition they have been in this sea
son for the tilt with the Cougars, as
they will have a full strength line, and
a backficld which is the strongest that
has appeared for Oregon this year.
The Homecoming game is the contest
which counts most on the Oregon sched
ule this year, and the coaches, aware
of the fact, are getting the team into
the best possible shape.
CHRYSANTHEMUMS MAY
BE ORDERED FROM Y. W.
Flowers to Be Delivered Friday After
noon: Blossoms Will Cost 10 Cents
Apiece; Cards Can Be Sent
“ Larger and better than ever,” is
the slogan of the Y. W. C. A. commit
tee, which is taking orders today for
the yellow chrysanthemums to be worn
at the Homecoming game Saturday.
The flowers this year are a different
variety from those sold before, and the
committee is confident that the choicest
flowers of the season are being sold at
the lowest price.
Forty cents apiece is asked for the
blossoms, which will average six inches
in diameter. There are representatives
in the organizations on the campus to
take orders. Thoso outside of organiza
tions may leave their orders at the
Bungalow. The flowers will be deliv
ered Friday afternoon to the organiza
tions, and to those persons ordering
over a dozen. Individual orders must
be called for at the Bungalow at that
time.
Cards or messages will be sent with
the flowers, if left at the Bungalow.
This sale is annually conducted by
the Y. W. C. A., the proceeds going to
ward special improvements for the
Bungalow. Miss Thelma Kimberling
is chairman of the committee.
