WITH CREDENTIIILS
AS OREGON ENVOY
Old-Time Gridiron Hero Given
Send-Off by Students at
Homecoming Rally
ABBOTT ANNOUNCES PLANS
Alumni and Visitors Will Be
Registered When They
Arrive on Campus
Presented with his credentials and
with greetings to be carried to the
University of Washington, at the as
I sembly held in the Woman’s building
at 11 o’clock yesterday morning, Rich
ard S. Smith, Oregon’s ambassador to
the University of Washington home
coming, was started on the first lap
of his journey.
Smith was authorized as Oregon’s
official ambassador to the northern in
stitution by President Campbell, who at
the same time delivered a message of
friendship on the part of the Univer
sity of Oregon, to the sister institution.
In this message President Campbell
said, “Good fellowship is one of the
greatest things in the world and noth
ing is impossible between good friends.
Washington was at one time a part of
Oregon and by virtue of that we are
hereditary friends. On the part of the
University of Oregon I send this bid
ding of good will and good wishes.”
Greetings on behalf of the Alumni
association, the Associated Student
Body, and the women of the Univer
sity of Oregon, were presented respec
tively by Miss Graee Edgington, sec
retary of the Alumni association, John
MacGregor, president of the student
body and Margaret Beatie, vice-pres
ident of the Women’s League.
Harmony Is Purpose
Mr. Smith, in a short address, stated
that it would be his aim to carry to the
University of Washington a message
of friendship and good will. It was
his impression that the old-time enmity
which existed between the two institu
tions, when every man stood for him
self, is now gone and he hopes to per
petuate and extend the friendship
which now exists between them.
Smith signified his regret at not be
ing able to be present at the Oregon
W. S. C. game and exhorted the stu
dents to give the team their undivided
support. Talking on Oregon spirit he
stated that it is easy for spirit and pep
to manifest itself in a warm, dry room,
but that the team likes to see that spir
it go out into the rayi and the cold.
Sacrifice and loyal support, whether in
victory or defeat, is necessary on the
part of the students, he said, as he told
of the sacrifices made by the football
players.
Faculty Aid Urged
In closing his address Smith asserted
that a spirit of cooperation'on the part
of the faculty is also a vital factor in
producing a winning team and keeping
up its morale. He declared that instead
of greeting the athlete with a scowl
because of a fall in grades the profes
sor should greet him with a smile and
thus encourage him to do better. He
told of the difficulty which the athlete
encounters in keeping his grades up
to the standard during his season of
training and playing and asserted that
with constant opposition on the part of
the faculty he soon becomes discourag
ed. 8mith declared that it is not only
a courtesy but a duty of the faculty to
display this spirit of cooperation.
“The long-looked-for event is upon
us. And this isn’t our party, but it
is for the homecomers,” declared Leith
Abbott, general chairman of the home
coming committee, as he outlined the
plans for the occasion. According to
Abbott between 1000 and *500 old grads
and former students are expected to re
turn to the campus this year and that
it will be the duty of every student,
by his "hello,” to show them that, even
though many changes have been made
on the campus and although the faces
of the student body are strange, the
spirit of democracy is the same.
10,000 May Come
In addition to the old grads and for
mer students it is estimated that there
will be more than 10,000 visitors on
the campus to attend the homecoming
game. Among these visitors will be
many graduates of other institutions
who have been invited to Oregon where
they will be received as sons of the;
I niversity at the adoption ceremonies
to be held on Hayward field between
the halves of the homecoming game.
Speaking of the alumni from other,
institutions, Abbott stated that it will •
be the duty of every student to make i
the visitors feel at home while they
are on the campus and that the “hello” j
(Continued on page three.)
President Extends
to Oregon’s Guests
a Cordial Greeting
To Alumni and Visitors:
The entire University extends to
you a welcome. The old graduates
already know the cordial hospitality
which always awaits them on the
campus; and to the newly adopted
Alumni who come to us from other
institutions we wish to give assur
ance that they will he no less warmly
greeted and sincerely welcomed.
The entire student hody is organ
ized to greet you with the old-time
democratic “hello.” We hope you
will receive it in the same spirit in
which it is given, and excuse, if you
aro a new-comer, the seeming in
formality of the customary expres
sion of good will.
The one earnest desire is to assure
you that the University is *yours at
command, and that if anything is
overlooked in the way of hospitality,
the omission shall be at once correct
ed by your good-natured reminder of
our dereliction. We are all working
together for a greater University and
a great state.
P. L. CAMPBELL.

NOISEMAKING MACHINES
FEATURE OF PARADE
Lighting of “0” on Butte New
Plan This Year
“All set and rarin’ for the gun,” is
the way Jack Myers, general chairman
of the Homecoming pep rally, stated
the situation last night.
“Everything is in readiness with the
exception of a few minor details, which
will be ironed out tomorrow. Several
of the houses have not made known
their entries in the noise-making con
test. By the whole-hearted co-opera
tion of the Eugene merchants we have
been able to get 50 trucks to carry the
students in the parade. Added to this,
five big passenger cars have been do
nated by the Terminal Stage line. These
will accomodate about 100 girls."
Taking all this into consideration,
the pep parade ought to go over as the
biggest one in the history of the Uni
versity. Last year’s pep carnival will
be remembered as the greatest ever,
but the noise fest scheduled for tomor
row night will eclipse it by several city
blocks.
Working with Jack Myers, who in
cidentally was one of the main factors
in the success of the parade last year,
are Emil Ghio, Robert Monroe, Betty
Pride, Ted Baker, Jack Sletusk, and
Lee Culbertson, This year the Califor
nia club took over the handling of the
parade.
The parade will form at the corner
of Thirteenth and Alder streets as near
7:00 as possible, the band leading. Fol
lowing there will be a truck load of
rooters then a noise making instrument
and they will alternate this way
throughout the line of march so that
the noise makers will have a fair
chance at the prize. Most of the houses
are entering the parade as dark horses,
but those that have been lined up pro
mise to shake the air considerable.

ADOPTION CEREMONY
PLEASING TO GRADS
Enthusiasm Shown in Congratulatory
Letter to the President’s Office
The general attitude of the alumni
of other institutions toward the pro
posed adoption ceremonies, to be held
during homecoming, as shown in let
ters received by the president’s office,
is a very favorable one.
“I desire to express my gratifica
tion,” a prominent Roseburg attorney
writes, “at your plan of getting col
lege men together. You know the
Greeks had a Pan-Athenaic festival
which did much to knit the states into
homogeneity, a result which will,
doubtless, be accomplished by your ex
cellent plan.”
The adoption ceremony will take
place on Hayward field between the
halves of the Homecoming game. At
that time President Campbell will ad
minister the oath of friendthip and
adoption, and extend a greeting to Ore
gon’s rew associates and sons.

FEW PATIENTS CONFINED
Colds Are Diminishing; Septic Troubles
and Bolls Prevail at Infirmary
Ten patients were confined to the
infirmary yesterday with various mi
nor complaints. None of them is very
seriously ill. The dispensary has been
as busy as ever, but the treatments
have been mostly for other causes than
colds. Only a few coughs are to be
heard now on the campus.
Boils and septic conditions of a more
or less non-serious nature seem to be
the prevailing trouble.
VARSITY TO HOVE
FULL STRENGTH IN
COOGOUOIITEST
Bill Spear and Cogs Campbell
Will Be in Opening
Lineup
W. S. C. EXCELS IN KICKING
Zaepfel and Dunton Powerful
Booters; Chapman Will
Do Kicking
The real test of the varsity comes
tomorrow in the Washington State con
test. Oregon will have full strength
in the opening* lineup and will have no
alibis to offer if its fails to come out
on the long end of the score. In all
previous engagements the eleven has
been handicapped by injuries and the
coaches have not been able to put a
first line squad on the field. With Bill
Spear and Cogs Campbell in the lineup
along with the rest of the first string
men, the squad presents a formidable
appearance.
This is the game in which the team
needs its full strength, for this is un
doubtedly the most important on the
V arsity schedule this season. If Ore
gon wallops the Cougars chances are
good to play at Pasadena on New
Years, but if defeat comes all there is
to look forward to is the annual clash
with our neighbors, the Aggies.
Cogs Campbell fits in the lineup just
right, as only a few days before it was
found he was eligible, McKeown de
veloped an abscess in his nose and was
prohibited from playing football. Cogs
will not be in the best of shape Satur
day though, as in scrimmage last night
he was hit in the side and badly bruis
ed.
Cougar Punters Good
For the first time this season Ore
gon ’s first string backfield will start the
game intact, with Hunk at full, Chap
py at quarter, and King and Gram as
halves. Hunk still is suffering from
a weak knee though, so Chappy will
do the punting for the team against
the Cougars. The visitors will ex
cel in this department as both Captain
Dunton and Zaepfel, who handle the
kicks for W. S. C. will average better
than Chappy does.
The northern team is coming to Eu
gene with the definite object of win
ning the game, for so far this year
they have been nothing but a disap
pointment to their followers, and will
attempt to make up for all their de
feats this season by taking the Varsity
down the line.
The game is the critical one for both
elevens, as for Oregon it will decide
whether or not they will be able to
accomplish anything of importance in
the Coast conference this year, while
for W. 8. C. it will prove whether or
not they are still one of the leading
teams on the coast.
Weights About Even
The weights of the teams will be
about even, although the Cougar backs

Boxes, Beer Barrels and Baby
Carriages in Pyre
Five gaunt poles in a space 20x20
feet stretch their lengths skyward on
Kincaid field. Will the freshman class
have the emptyness that is between
them filled by this evening, so that the
touch of a lighted match will trans
form it into a flaming inferno f
“Yes!” says Eugene Richmond, pres
ident of the freshman class.
“Yes!” says Floyd McKalson, chair
man of the freshman bonfire construc
tion committee.
“Yes!” echo the freshman class mem
bers, as they heap box after box upon
the growing pile.
For the past week or so, plans for
the bonfire have been discussed, but
only since yesterday afternoon has the
actual construction taken place.
In previous years, there has been no
limitation upon the time of construc
tion or the height of the bonfire, but
this year a faculty committee has given
the babes two days only in which to
erect the pyre, the height has been reg
ulated to 40 feet by a municipal fire
ruling. So if the class of ’26 succeeds
under these restrictions in equaling the
efforts of previous classes, much credit
will be due them.
Plenty of material is assured the
frosh. The material has been conveyed
to Kincaid by a fleet of four trucks
with trailers which worked ceaselessly
all yesterday afternoon. The inflam
mables consisted of all kinds, from bro
ken baby carriages and dry goods cases
to antiquated beer-barrels. Several
truckloads of lumber odds and ends
were gotten from the Booth-Kelly Lum
ber company, and the timbers of the
old bridge near Springt^eld were also
secured.
Heavy timbers built around two rows
of packing cases placed end to end
form the base of the pyre. The ends
of the packing cases have been knock
ed out, thus making passageways be
neath the huge heap, and insuring a
good draft. A column of barrels ris
ing through the middle constitutes a
flue for the draft to pass through.
Late last night, under the light of
two brilliant nitrogen lamps, the toil
ing freshmen brought the height of the
pyre up to about 14 feet, and it is
thought that by this morning it will
have reached at least 25 feet.

year, has accepted a position at the
desk on the Statesman, a Salem daily
publication.
In a letter to Dean Eric W. Allen, of
the School of Journalism, Mr. Eisman
says, “My reporting is rather light.
Police, justice court and district attor
ney, and now and then schools. The
telegraph and make up seem to be the
biggest jobs. Here, my night work on
the Emerald will come in handy.”
Mr. Eisman is well known in cam
pus journalism circles, where he was
an active member of Sigma Delta C'bi,
Hammer and Coffin, the Emerald and
Oregana Btaffs, and editor of the Lem

Homecoming Fun Starts
Tonight When Kings
of Noise Get Under
Way; Many Coming
To the Old Grads and Former Stu
dents:
One of the things that I look for
each year, now that I am on the
“down hill grade,” is you return. It
is worth while to live, just to meet
my loyal “boys and girls” and to
feel that they still rare for me. I
want to see you and I hope you will
not fail to come.
Besides, see what it means to you
to see your old class mates again,
and wander about the sunny campus
and to view the many changes.
Affectionately your friend always,
JOHN STRAUB.
When King Noiae ascends his royal
chariot and starts on his triumphant
march through the streets of Eugene to
niglit, the eighth annual Homecoming
of the University of Oregon will be
on. All plans, even to the minutest de
tails, have been completely molded, and
hundreds of old grads, visitors and stu
dents are awaiting tho zero hour, seven
o ’clock.
The influx of old graduates and vis
itors has already started. From the
East, West, South and North aacli
train and automobile brings more
alums back to Oregon. More than 1000
old grads are expected, according to
Leith Abbott, Homecoming director
eral. And with the initiation of grad
duates from other schools, it is expect
ed that at least 400 will bo on hand and
take part in the naturalization between
halves of the game.
The welcoming committee, under
James Meek, will maintain three infor
mation booths down town from noon
on, today. One will bo placed at Sev
enth and Willamette, and the other
two will be at the depots. The regis
tration offices will be in the Adminis
tration building. The old grad and vis
itor will be given a card with his name
and class, and will be assigned to
rooms. Guides from the Oregon Knights
will personally escort them to their
places of residence during their stay.
Rooms Are Wanted
The committee on housing placed
their quota of rooms desired at 500.
This quota hus not yet been reached.
Frank Carter, chairman, desires that
any Eugene people who have rooms
available phone Grace Edgington,
Alumni secretary at 159,1 before noon
today, as the books will be closed then.
Organization men and women will be
taken care of, but us the hotels and
rooming houses are already fully book
ed, many other rooms will bo needed.
A monster parade will bo held (Sat
urday morning, Armistice day. The
It. O. T. C. regiment will march in uni
form. All ex-service men will moot at
10:15 at the Armory, and the general
Htudent body will form at the corner
of 11th and Alder at 10 a. in.
The annual Homecoming luncheon
will be served in the men's gymnasium.
Four lines are to be maintained, and
it is requested that the underclassmen
form in the two lines in the outdoor
gym, so that the alums, visitors and
upperclassmen may have the inside
gymnasium. Provisions have been made
to accomodate 5000. A repast lit for
a king has been provided, and consists
of cold roast pork, scallopped potatoes,
fruit salad, Parker house roles, dough
nuts and coffee. Serving will Btart
promptly at 11:50 and continue until 1.
15,000 Visitors Expected
The big reature of Homecoming, the
football game between Oregon and
Washington State college is scheduled
for 2:50 p. m. All grandstand seats
with the exception of 200 or 300 have
already been sold. Jack Henefiel, grad
uate manager, declared that if good
weather prevailed more than 15,000
would be present. This would be a
record breaking crowd for Oregon. At
least 12,000 will be present, rain or
shine, was Benefiel’s declaration.
The Oregon Knights will usher, take
tickets, and supervise the crowd. Three
traffic men of the state of Oregon wilf
be on hand to direct and handle the
machines. It is the request of the Uni
versity authorities that all Eugene peo
ple and students leave their automo
biles home and walk to the game, in
order to avoid the confusion that us
uallly exists.
The Homecoming ball Saturday eve
ning will end the celebration proper,
although open houso will be held Sun
day afternoon. The visitors, old grad
uates and upperclassmen will dance in
the Woman’s building, while under
classmen will assemble at the Armory.

By THAD BYRNE,
Sports Editor, W. S. C. Evergreen
Washington State College, Pullman,
Nov. 9.—(Special by P. I. N. 8.)—
Washington State is at present facing
the crisis of its present football season.
The consensus of opinion of W. S. C. *8
student body is that their football toam
must take a sudden brace, or be top
pled permanently from the respectable
niche which they have occupied in the
football hall of fnmo in previous years.
Pre-season dope gave the Cougars a
formidable gridiron aggregation—cred
ited them with having a team poten
tially more powerful than last year’s
championship contenders. In the early
part of the season, Qus Wolch, dusky
Cougar mentor, madb tho following
statement:
“This year has been the first year
since I have coached football at W.
8. C. that I have had a score of de
pendable men with which to work.”
Welch Is Ambiguous
Those who know how little the silent
Indian is given to talking of his pros
pects at any time, at once construed
this to mean that W. S. C. *s grid chan
ces were even better this year than
last.
Like most “dope” predictions, how
ever, this optimistic guess failed to ma
terialize. Although tho Cougars won
their first two games, which wore with
Gonzaga and Idaho, they just managed
to nose out their opponents in the final
minutes of play in both contests. In
contrast to this, last year Welch’s pro
tegees administered severe trouncings
to both teams.
on uc.tooer tno t.ougar grinders
lout their first guine of tho season to the
heavy U. of W. team, 16-13, in one of
tho most thrilling games ever witness
ed on Rogers field. The terrific pound
ing to which Bagshaw’s powerful for
wards subjected the entire W. B. C.
line, was largely responsible for the
61-0 defeat meted out to the Cougars
by Califoriua at Berkeley last Satur
day.
With but three days in which to re
cuperate for the Oregon contest,
Welch’s players are facing the crisis
of the present season. If they lose to
Oregon tomorrow, they know that they
will perhaps lose the remaining three
games on their schedule. Chafing un
der the sting of a 61-0 humiliation, it
might be said that the Cougars will bo
even more dangerous tomorrow than if
they had held California to a respect
able score.
Team Pictured as Wreck
Coach Welch will send a much bat
tered eleven out to Hayward field to
morrow afternoon. There is scarcely
a man on the first string but has receiv
ed a minor hurt in the last two games
with the Huskies and the Bears.
The severest loss to the team will be
“Bud” McKay, all-coast guard of last
season, who is out with a sprained
ankle. Verne Hickey, who has starred
in every game that W. 8. C. has played
this year, received a peculiar injury
in the Bruin melee that may impair
his usefulness for the rest of tho year.
He was struck in the head in such a
way that he was unable to remember
the meaning of the signals, although he
could call them perfectly. This was the
reason he did not play the entire game
at Berkeley.
Aside from these two injuries, all of
the men are expected to be in shape
to play tomorrow's game.
