PRE-GAME RALLY
SHOWS GRID MEN
STUDENT SPIRIT
Thundering Thousand Gathers
in Woman’s Building for
Great Pep-Fest
BE GENTLEMEN, IS ADVICE
Coaches and Yell Leaders
Emphasize Necessity of
Being Good Sports
By Monte Byers
If the roof of the Woman’s building
leaks in the future, there is a reason.
The noise that came from the throats
of the Thundering Thousand at the
rally last %iight was enough to raise
the roof a foot and to split the beams
asunder. The tradtional Oregon spirit
was there—it was the • incarnation of
the Oregon spirit. Volume after vol
ume of Oskies, Team Yells, Mighty Or
egons and all the rest of the varsity
repertoire of pep instillers rent the at
mosphere.
It was a rally that will long be re
membered by those who participated in
the pep-fest. From all indications the
Oregon supporters will journey to Cor
vallis with a two-fold purpose—to win
the football game today in a clean man
ner and to act the part of gentleihen
while they are in the territory of the
Beaver.
The gentlemanly spirit of the rooting
section was the big point stres^d by
the coaching staff and the yell king.
Such a spirit will win in the long run,
they said.
The team, whose crippled condition
has long been the concern of the var
sity supporters, is fit and ready for
the whistle that will send them on their
way. Such was the statement of the :
coteehes. The team realizes that the
“battle of the year” is here and they
are on their toes.
Shy Says Team Ready
“The team is fit and ready,” was
the way Shy expressed it. “They are
full of tight and with you behind them
in the bleachers the team will lick them.
You don't know what you are up
juries, the team is in the best of con- j
win this game.”
Shy also mentioned the fact that up
to the time of the rally the Aggies had
not accepted any of the officials pro
posed for the game.
The Thundering Thousand showed
Shy that they were behind him to a
man—showed him that part of the bat
tle today would be fought from the :
south end of Bell field. The din was
terrific as the head coach mounted and
left the platform.
Amid cheering and whistling, Bill!
Hayward, Oregon’s super-trainer, took
the floor.
“After a hard season with many in-j
juries, that team is in the best of con
dition. There are no cripples. You
may be sure that the team will do its

Aggie Star Who Faces
Varsity in Big Game
Murius McFadden, End
P. E. SCHOOL HAS
WIDE REPUTAT1
—
Rcreation, Vigor, Persistent
Exercise Is Principle;
Good Health Aim
“The University of Oregon stands
out among institutions of its kind in
the teaching, instructing and plan of
attack in the department of physical
education.” Such is the statement of
Dr. J. F. Bovard, dean of the school of
physical education. “Other schools,”
he continued,' “are trying to emulate
our system with more or less success.”
Dr. Bovard finds the work of the de
partment extremely successful and the
reorganization which took place last
year, with the coming of Professor
Scojt is proving that “gym work” in
physical education, with the motto of
“Recreation for All” is more than the
obnoxious tossing of dumbells around
one’s head and the twirling of wands.
“In our work,” the dean said, “we
keep three important principles in mind
always. The first-—our motto—is the
nucleus of our success; ‘Recreation for
All. ’ The second is giving work which
instills into one a sense of physical
well-being and physical vigor; and
third that exercise, properly indulged
in, is conducive to the best health.”
Future of College Men Considered
“We consider,” Dr. Bovard contin
ued, “that our function is not only a
campus activity, and that it does not
only deal with the present, but we are
also thinking of the future of the col
lege man. He is taught under expert
supervision, a game such as handball,
volley ball, or golf—a game #whieh
he can play during his whole life. And
thereby he becomes the possessor of a
form of exercise, which not only en
ables him to keep at a minimum that
‘tired business man’s feeling,’ and
check the ‘bay window,’ but which
assists him to excel in his particular
game.”
Harry A. Scott, professor in physi
cal education and in charge of the
men’s gymnasium, gives a brief plan
of the work under his supervision,
which is as follows:
“The student entering the Univer
sity is subject to a physical examina
tion, and by token of this examination
he is classed as A, B, C, or D. Classes
A and B are allowed to take any form
of exercise, they are physically fit.
Classes C and D, men with slight de
fects are allowed to participate in re
stricted exercises only under the su
pervision of an instructor.”
f undamentals Are cited
“The fundamentals of all forms of
physical exercises are running, jump
ing, climbing and swimming. Every
game played has one or two or more of
these fundamentals involved. It is
toward a standard which has these prin
ciples that we are working. To teach
students who have already reached our
standard would be a waste of time,
and therefore the physical ability test
was evolved. This test, consistng of
the high jump, running, bar vaulting,
rope climbing and swimming, combines
the four fundamentals and the man
who passes it is physically fit accord
ing to our standards, and is given the
opportunity to participate in any sport
of his desire. Students not able to
pass this test are given work which
tends to better them in those funda
mentals in which they are not up to
standard.”
More than' 780 men are now regis
tered in physical education. One hun
dred and three of these are in classes
C and D. More than 90 passed the P.
E. test in October. One hundred and
sixty men are taking instruction in
swimming, and 46 of the P. E. men
elected swimming as their sport. Bas
ketball, handball, volley ball, soccer,
wrestling, boxing, and various other
games and sports are played. Instruc
tion in golf, under the supervision of

SEVENTY DO-NUT
CONTESTS PLOYED
IN PRELIMINARIES
Competition Element Increases
Interest and Desire for Im
provement in Skill
OREGON CLUB IS AHEAD
In League B Three Houses Tie
For First Place; Three
Weeks to Play
With the exception of one game the
preliminaries in the do-nut basketball
league were completed last night. Over
seventy games have been played so far
this season and approximately 200 men
have participated in the contests. Ac
cording to Coach Bolder who has charge
of the league, the purpose of the do-nut
organization is to enable as many men
as possible to participate in competitive
basketball. The element of competition
which , enters into the inter-fraternity
games makes them much more interest
ing and creates a desire for improve
ment which is lacking in gymnasium
work.
From the spectators’ point of view
this year's contests have been well
worth while, as some of the teams play
a brand of basketball that borders on
varsity play. The 18 competing teams
have been divided into two leagues this
year, league A and league B. In league
A, Oregon Club leads the list, having
lost but one of their contests. Sigma
Nu, Kappa Sigma and S. A. E. are
tied for second place, and in the semi
finals which start next week these three
teams will play a round-robin to decide
which two teams will play in the actual
semi-finals.
Three Teams Tying
In league B the Phi Dolts, Delta Tau
and Fijis are the three leading teams,
and this combination will stag^ a six
game contest to decide the winner.
When the best team in each league has
been selected a match in which the win
ner must take two out of three games
will be played to decide the intramural
championship of the University.
Starting next Tuesday one game a
day will be played, and each game will
be a contest worth seeing. The games
will take place at eight o’clock each
fight in the men’s gym. Next week’s
games are: Tuesday, S. A. E. vs. Kappa
Sigma; Wednesday, Delta Tau vs. Phi
Delt; Thursday, Kappa Sigma vs. Sig
ma Nu; Friday, Phi Delt vs. Phi Gam
ma Delta. There will be a game Mon
day between Chi Psi and Delta Tau
at 4 o ’clock. This jgam)e will not
affect the comparative standings of the
teams, however.
Do-nut basketball will occupy the
stage for approximately three weeks
more, and in the meantime the Frosh
will be getting under way. Varsity
turnouts do not begin until after Christ
mas, when the squad will start its barn
storming tour, to end January 6 at
Portland when Oregon plays the Mult
nomah Club.
GRADS MAKE REQUEST
FOR VILURD HALL IVY
Former Oregon Students Write from
Pendleton for Cuttings of Be
loved Old Vines
Golden yellows, coppery reds, shaded
greens—Villard hall ivy!
Because of the glory and fame of
these ancient vines and the sentiment
attached to them, it is no wonder that
their memory remains long in the minds
ol those who have seen them.
The existence of this ivy is not to
remain'limited alone to the Oregon
campus, however, for Pendleton is soon
to be shown a bit of the University’s
beauty. Mr. and Mrs. James Johns,
i/x-Oregon students, have written to the
University asking for some cuttings of
the ivy to beautify the new home they
have recently purchased in that city.
Mrs. Johns was Pearl McKenna, and
while in school a member of Gamma
Phi Beta and Mr. Johns was a Beta
Theta Pi. Both were members of the
class of ’ll.

FOOTBALL MECCA GOAL
OF CAMPS POPULACE
University Students Migrate
to Support Players
_
This morning the campus populace
moves to Corvallis—the football mec
ea of the state. By auto, by special
train, by electric, Oregon students will
invade the domain of the Aggies to
witness the game of the year.
The student special, known as the
University of Oregon official train,
leaves from the Southern Pacific de
pot at 11 o’clock this morning and
will arrive at the city station in Cor
vallis, near the center of the town and
not far distant from the O. A. C. cam
pus, at 12:30. There will be six or
eight coaches on this special and the
engine has been decorated with Oregon
ceflors.
The Oregon Electric is not running
any special, but two trains move out
from Eugene this morning, one at 7:35
and the other at 11:20. The first train
arrives in Corvallis at 8:58 and the
second at 12:45.
Prices over both roads have been
slashed for the students to the same
fare, $1.80 for the round trip. The stu
dent special over the 8. P. will leave
Corvallis at 5 o’clock this evening and
will arrive in Eugene at 6:30.
Hundreds of cars will head toward
the football center this morning carry
ing students, members of the faculty,
and townspeople. Many of the students
went over to Corvallis last night for the
pre-game festivities.
DO-NUT SWIMMING TO
BEGIN IN JANUARY
Cup Is Offered for Winners of Series;
Eight Practices Required for
Competition in Meets
Do nut ami class swimming will be
gin the first part of January, but all
house heads of swimming are urged to
get their girls out to practice now, ac
cording to CaroTyn Cannon, swimming
instructor in the physical education de
partment.
Right practices will be required of all
girls before -competing in any events.
A. cup for swimming has been secured
and will be awarded to the organiza
tion winning the doughnut series. Be
sides the doughnut meets, there will be
inter-class meets with O. A. C., but
no varsity team will compete, accord
ing to the recent ruling made by the
national Woman’s Athletic association
As each girl will be limited in the
number of events she may enter, spe
■ ialization upon certain work is encour
a (led. Besides the relay race, a swim
raer may enter any two of the follow
, ing events in any meet: 2 free style
races for speed; breast stroke race
back race; diving; plunge for distance
and Strokes for form. Heads of swim
ming are asked to bring the lists of
swimmers from their houses to the Wo
man ’s building so that a check on the
practices may be made.
ART BUILDING TO HAVE
FIRE-PROOF AAUSEUIIA
Observation Pit to Be Built
for Mr. Fairbanks
Want to take a trip through the new
art building? It will not take long and
you will find some interesting things
on the ground floor. That is, you will
in the near future, for the structure is
going up rapidly.
Leaving the architecture building,
you cross to the new art building
through a covered loggia nine feet wide,
entering the structure on the north sido.
Turn east into the first hallway. There
you will find on your right a small
dark-room, which will be fitted out for
photographic work. On the left is a
small store-room. Continuing east you
can pass into Professor Avard Fair
banks’ studio, a spacious room on the
northeast corner. Crossing the studio
and turning south you enter the east
ing room, and from there, continuing
in the same direction, you find yourself
facing the door to the large modeling
room in the southeast corner of the
building.
West of the modeling room is a hall
way through which you can reach a
stairway to the second floor, or you
may go north to the locker room, a
small room fitted out for lockers near
the center of the building. Immediate
ly above the locker room is an observa
tion pit especially built for Mr. Fair
banks. The pit is constructed between
the low-built ceiling of the locker room
and the ceiling of the ground floor.
The sides of the suspended pit are so
constructor that Mr. Fairbanks will be
able to observe his studio and the cast
ing room from that position.
Descending to the-, first floor, you
turn west into the ma,in hallway, on
the left of which, facing south, you
will find doors leading into the weav
ing and basketry room and into the
cement tile room. On the north side
of the spacious hallway is Miss Vic

Varsity All Ready
For Aggie Eleven
BATTLE OF YEAR ,
STAGED TODAY ON
0, A. C. GRIDIRON
Two-Game Tie Will Likely Be
Broken When Foemen Meet
on Bell Field
SHY TAKES 30 MEN OVER
Oregon Team in Best of Shape
for Annual Tilt; Field
Will Be Heavy
l
The entire football squad of more
than ItO men is to make the trip to
Corvallis 'today to tangle with the Ag
gies this afernoon. Coach Shy Hunt
ington late yesterday had. uot decided
what lineup he would start, but it will
probably be the same that has Btarted
all other games, with the possible ex
ception of Cogs Campbell.
The backs opening the game will be
Chapman, Latham, King and Oram, as
Johnson has u bail ankle and is not
able to make much speed on It. All
tho other backs are in the best shape
of the season though, and should be
faster and better than in any of the
games so far.
This is one of the most important
games tho two institutions havo ever
played, as for the past two years the
struggles have ended in scoreless ties,
so the team that wins this afternoon
will havo the added prestige of putting
a winning team out after two years of
no decisions.
Varsity’s Chances Good
Oregon really has a better chance to
day than they have had against their
neighbor institution for several sea
sons, as the Aggies have had the best
i of tho dope for two years, but this
season it is about as nearly even as far

Exodus to Game Causes Sprint
To Psyc. Lab Without Breakfast
“Rise and shine! Let’s go-”
“Aw! run away and pla; ' This is
Saturday and wc sleep until the epe
eial leaves,” growls the disturbed cham
pion of Morpheus.
“How about that psyc lab at sev
; eu.' ”
“Hot dog! You win,” and springing
1 from the woolens, the half-awake psy
chologist dashes about the room
searching for his attire, which he scat
tered about the night before in his
hurry to pound the feathers.
At the washbasin- a little water
sprinkled on the face. The hair is
combed on the wrong side. Psycholo
gist skills down the stairs and into the
galley—now at 6:55. Gulps coffee,
grape fruit. 8ier.es hunk of toast and
rushes through the house to door, grab
bing notebook on way—now 6:59 and
the psyc lab four blocks away. Be
tween breaths as ho runs, gobbles toast,
fane smeared with butiOr. Makes four
blocks in nothing flat and flounders
into lab room just as instructor is
barking his name.
This is just one example of the bustle
and confusion that occurred this morn
ing in the rush for that early iab class
which was held at 7:00 in order that
the students could make the special for
the game with the farmer lads.
A geodly number of neckties were
tied on the run for the lab. More than
one hastily placed hairpin fell to the
turf as the co-eds hurtled to class.
I.uuch will be breakfast for many of
those who drew the covers over their
head when Big Ben blared live bells
