HOMECOMING'S
JOES HIE OVER
Alums Overflow Town and
Do Justice to Events
of Hilarious Week-End
NOISE FEST BIG AFFAIR
Oregon Rooters’ Ardor Not
Affected By Rain; Grads
Return to Homes Happy
Homecoming is over. The grads
came in trainloads and auto loads
and overflowed the town. They
yelled themselves hoarse at the
game, did away with all the pro
visions of the campus luncheon and
had a jolly good time talking over
the old days with the other old
timers.
Something wag doing every
minute. Alums began pouring into
the Administration building to
register as soon as the desk was
opened. There was much shouting
at old friends and slapping on the
back.
The bonfire defied the rain and
was a solid blaze in five minutes.
Built to burn out before the be
ginning of the noise parade, it was
swift and spectacular and covered
the whole sky with a mass of red
smoke and sparks.
Many See Parade
Along line of racket, smoke, steam
and fireworks was the noise par
ade. S. A. E. took the prize for
the noisiest combination with a
steam roller and three whistles. All
the alums and townspeople lined the
streets, alternately cheering and
jumping out of the way of fire
crackers.
Game Draws Crowd
The parade wound up at the
armory for pep talks from the grads
and coaches. The alums were there
in a body and the team made its
appearance on the stage for a short
time. Hooters took up every inch
of available space and women were
standing upstairs in the balcony.
Saturday morning tho^e |grads
who had been to bed got up for
their class and alumni meetings.
The ceremony of laying the Sigma
Nu cornerstone was held and the
Beta-Delt tug of war furnished
amusement to the crowd.
The campus luncheon was a mob
scene. Throngs blocked the doors
and the inside was a mixture of
crowded eaters and discarded paper
plates.
The crowd at the game took
every inch of bleacher and grand
stand room. Ninety;five Order of the
“O” men dended their way about the
field, accompanied by the yells of
the crowd. O. A. C. put on some
clever stunts in the bleachers. There
was a big crowd from the state
college.
The ardor of the Oregon rooters
never died. The little rain which
marred an otherwise bright after
noon did not seem to dampen their
spirits. Neither .did the fact of the
loss of the game.
Between halves the naturalization
ceremony was enacted. President

Recollections of ’93
Impressions of ’23
By Catherine Spall
A tall, well-built man stood in
the lobby of the hotel. In spite
of the many interviews he has
doubtless given because of respon
sible positions he has held in pub
life life, Charles E. Henderson, of
Indianapolis, member of the class
of ’93, looked interested and not
at all bored as he prepared to de
vote a few minutes reminiscing on
events back in those days.
Mr. Henderson is a man of af
fairs—he looks the part, and he
acts the part. There is an aggres
siveness and earnestness about him
that one likes and that gives one
the assurance that here is a man
who keeps up with the modern
tendencies, is willing to take the big
responsibilities and see them
through.
A short time after his graduation
from the University, in 1893, he at
tended the University of Michigan,
taking his bachelor of law degree
from that institution of 1895. In
1896 he obtained his master’s de
gree, and in that same year was
elected to the Indiana state legis
lature, his term beginning in 1897.
Later he continued his practice of
law and in 1906 was made judge of
the circuit court of Greene and Sul
livan counties in Indiana. In this
AGGIE SOCCER TEAM
DEFEATS OREGON 2-4
Experience and Playing Nets
0. A. C. Victory
O. A. C. won a decisive but hard
fought soccer game from the Ore
gon soccer team yesterday morning
by a score of 4-2. The game was
much closer and the Oregon players
showed a decided improvement in
their game since the last clash be
tween the two aggregations earlier
in the season.
O. A. C. drew first blood and
scored two goals in the first period,
through nice teamwork in working
the ball down the field and into
place to kick for a goal. Oregon,
through the excellent work of Lau,
evened the score and made it stand
two all. The teamwork and experi
ence of the visiting Aggie players
were too much for the Oregon men,
however, and this told toward the
finish of the game, with O. A. C.
scoring twice more.
Owing to the muddy condition of
the soccer field on Kincaid field, a
new playing field was improvised
upon the spur of the moment on
the grassy place alongside the walk
leading to the Music building. The
very nature of the field handicapped
both teams to a considerable extent.
The line-ups were:
O. A. C. (4)— —(2) Oregon
Brumbuck .Goal. Gowans
Cummings .KB. Pil
Skillen .LB. Pollack

The Co-ed Sees the Game
and Other Things Besides
By Jeanne Gay
Crowds, mobs, thousands of peo
ple, machines jammed into every
available space and overlapping.
“Mums,” huge ones of bright yel
low and bronze. Yellow, screaming,
excited masses of rooters—all made
up the big game yesterday. A ter
rible, an awful, yet wenderful game.
A game that sent the O. A. C.
rooters into frenzies of joy during
the sceond quarter and held Oregon
rooters speechless with helpless in
dignation while an Aggie man made
a spectacular run halfway down the
field, making the one score of the
entire afternoon, 6-0.
November in the role of April
kept everyone guessing. At first the
sun was shining and we wished we
weren’t under the new covered
bleachers. Later, about the third
quarter, it began to shower and the
open bleachers across presented a
' veritable patchwork quilt of many
hued umbrellas. During that quar
ter a faint rainbow, oppressed by
a heavy threatening cloud, appeared,
but was finally scared away.
Were we down-hearted! Never!
Was there pep? We’ll say so!
Lusty cheers from the Lemon-Yel
low section followed by the snappy
barked out yells of the Aggie root
ers. Incidently O. A. C. ’s gym
nastic yell leaders doin(g | yieir
“daily dozen” were great. . TBiey
amused us a lot.
The jinx was upset, the Corvallis

capacity he served for six years.
Since that time he lias been resid
ing in Indianapolis practising law.
During the six years that Mr.
Henderson spent on the campus he
never missed attending classes a
single day. Cuts were few in those
days, but valid excuses could be
given for absences from class. Good
excuses were forthcoming too, to
avert the penalty of being sum
moned before the dreaded “green
carpet,” with the entire faculty of
the University directing piercing
and conscience-searching eyes at
the writhing student.
The-alumnus-from-Indiana was at
one time editor-in-chief of “Tfie
Reflector,” a monthly news publica
tion, established in 1890, the fore
runner, one might say, of the pres

year Mr. Henderson was selected by
the faculty to represent the Uni

oratorical contest, held between six
colleges in the state, at Salem. In

DEAN STRAUB RETURNS
HQAAE FROM PORTLAND
Oregon’s “Grand Old Man”
Sends Greetings
Oregon’s “grand old man” is
home again after his first real ab
sence from the campus in forty-five
years. Although the.-serious nature
of the illness which he has suffered
has told greatly on his strength and
appearance, Dr. Straub still bears
his hearty welcoming smile for his
University family. He is not yet
permitted to receive callers, how
ever, and so he has sent his greet
ings to all the old grads in the fol
lowing statement:
“After being shut up in the sick
room in the company of other un
fortunates for so long and then
driving up Thirteenth Friday and
seening the boys in their rooters’
caps, full of life and strength, it
made me feel that life was worth
living if it could be among Uni
versity students and on the Uni
versity campus. My great regret
is that I could not be up to meet
the old students who have come
back. It is the first Homecoming
that I have missed since there have
been Homecomings in the Univer
sity—some twenty-five years—and
I sincerely hope that it will be the
last I shall miss as long as I live.”
The dean paused at this point and
then added his loyal message Jo
“the biggest and best class” with
a' note of real wistfulness in his
voice. “I am proud of my fresh
man class, the way it has been
working, and the reports that I
hear of it from every Bide, and I
can hardly wait until I shall be
able to meet them as a group and
individually.”
Dean Straub and his wife, ac
companied by Mr. and Mrs. Camp
bell Church of Eugene, arrived home
at two o’clock Friday afternoon and
were met at the station by President
and Mrs. Campbell, Professor and
Mrs. O. F. Stafford, Dean and Mrs.
Colin Y. Dyment and several other
relatives. The dean’s delight at
being once more at home was in
dicated by the fact that his first
request was to be driven up Thir
teenth avenue in order to see the
freshman bonfire pyre.
WHITMAN EMPLOYS CHECK
SYSTEM OF LOCAL BANKS
Whitman college is using the same
system that local banks employ in
the matter of checking the usual
flood of student N. S. F. checks.
Checks of various denominations are
issued in book form according to
the amount the student has on de
posit. When the checks are gone
the student knows his account is
flat.

AGGIES TAKE GAME
FROM OREGON, 6 - 0
GIFT CAMPAIGN
President Campbell, Virgil
Earl are Speakers; Class
Rivalry Marks Meeting
Enthusiasm over the gift cam
paign and the athletic situation,
and a great deal of good-natured
rivalry between classes, marked the
alumni meeting at Guild hall yes
terday morning. President P. L.
Campbell and Virgil Earl, athletic
director, were the speakers.
A year of education among this
people of the state, which has been
the plan of the gift campaign, is
beginning to bear fruit, said Pre
sident Campbell. There will be a
fldod of students coming in in a
few years and the University .can
not afford to change its policy of
personal attention and small class
groups.
Of the present millage fund of
$800,000, there is $700,000 spent
each year for maintenance. In the
last three years, the president de
clared, about $800,000 in money and
value has come to the University
in the form of gifts without the
least effort.
Five Millions Expected
The president said that he was
confident that the five million mark
would be reached in five years. He
commended the energetic spirit and
cooperation of the alumni and urged
gifts for buildings, among which
were a library, assembly, men’s
gymnasium and class buildings.
Virgil Earl described the system
of sports on the campus. He ad
vocated and asked cooperation of
the alumni in securing the right
sort of young athletes from the high
schools. The support and encourage
ment of their own townpeople for
Oregon would bring the right sort
of high school grads to the Uni
versity campus, he said. Probably
800 men will have participated in
the various athletic branches at the
University by the end of the year,
Earl announced.
Bonfire is Favored
The alumni discussed the rally
and bonfire plan which was car
ried out thih year. There was a
good deal of sentiment in favor of
giving the bonfire more prominence.
The inside rally plan was approved*
but it was generally believed that
the bonfire should take place later
in the evening.
A motion expressing to Dean
Straub the satisfaction of the
alumni at hia return for Home
coming, and the hepe that he would
soon return to his usual health, was
passed.
A committee was appointed to
draw an amendment to the con
stitution of the Alumni association
by which the annual meeting of
alumni should be held at Home in
stead of at commencement time as
has been done heretofore. It was
decided that at alumni reunions the
grads should be grouped according
to the time when they were at
school, and that the traditional 10
and 25-year reunions should be
maintained as usual.
“HOG” FUEL TO BE USED
New Power Plant Nears Completion,
Conveyor Being Built
The construction of the conveyor,
for the “hog” fuel which is to be!
used under the boilers in the new
power plant, is nearly complete. It
is the large wooden trestle-like struc
ture in the rear of the new plant and
will be used in unloading the fuel
when it arrives, and stacking it as
well as for feeding the furnaces.
Another new feature in the vicinity
of the new power plant is the gaso
line filling pump which has been in
stalled for the benefit of the several
[“flivvers” in the service of the Uni
I versity.

0. A. C. Second, Two Points
Behind Winners; Tetz is
First of Oregon Runners
Idaho won the cross-country race
held previous to the big game yes
terday with 30 points, O. A. C. was
second with 32 points, and Oregon
third with 58. Williams of Idaho
was the winner, covering the three
mile course in 15:59.4, which is
fairly good time for the course. Wil
liams finished strong and enlarged
the lead he held over Butts and
Graves of O. A. C., who finished
second and third in the order
named, with a long sprint at the
finish.
Idaho Evenly Balanced
The Idaho quintet of runners
were evenly balanced and with the
exception of one runner, who finish
ed fourteenth, came in closely
bunched, annexing the first, fourth,
fifth and sixth places. The Idaho
runners in the order in which they
finished, were: Williams, Hillman,
Penwell, Zowder and Crow.
O. A. V. gave the Vandals a
close race for their money, placing
runners second, third, eighth, ninth
and tenth. Butts, Graves, Mason,
Bartholomew and Walker were the
Aggie runners, finishing in the or
der named.
Tetz was the first Oregon man to
come in and he made a pretty finish,
passing the last three Aggie run
ners by a fast sprint. The Oregon
runners finished with Tetz first, Mc
Call eleventh, Keating twelfth, Bob
son thirteenth, and Muller fifteenth.
Oregon's Showing Good
All of the Oregon runners, with
the exception of Robson, were run
ning their first race in varsity com
petition, and their showing is re
garded as creditable for their first
time out. Oregon is undergoing the
process of building up the nucleus
of another strong cross-country
team. The graduation of Walkley
and Koepp left the varsity without
a single veteran capable of planing
first and second among strong com
petition. It takes time to make a
cross-country runner, and Oregon
expects big things yet from those
men who strove bo hard to win yes
terday.
Ed Haney Is Winner
of Senior Contest
Ed. Haney is not speaking to the
unwashed multitude. Indeed, why
should he—the most envied senior
on the campus, 'the proud owner of
the best labial befringement, or as
our friend Webster says “that part
of the beard which grows on the
upper lip.” The consequence for
this superiority is the possession of
the handsome Auto-strop razor pre
sented by the senior class for the
best down produced by a wearer of
the distinguished sombrero.
Rules for judging were not so
much by quantity as quality, tex
ture, ticklesomeness and formation,
according to Head Judge Leader.
“Most of the mustaches were in
scrimmage order,” he stated. The
other judges on the momentuous de
cision, Cres Maddock, and Preshy
Campbell, had to talk the Colonel
out of voting for one that was hand
some in blobs with bate patches in
between. He was strong for it be
cause it reminded him so much of
the one he grew in the boar war
that had to be encouraged along
with mange cure.
LECTURE TO BE GIVEN
ON MONDAY EVENING
W. C. Schuppel, assistant manager
of Oregon Life, will give a talk
Monday evening on the subject
“Presentation in Salesmanship,” at
8 o’clock in room 105 Commerce i

Throng of 12,000
Sees Varsity Lose
to Annual Rivals
Price, Beaver Pilot, Makes Touchdown in
Second Quarter; Oregon Misses
Chance to Score in Third
By MONTE BYERS
Just as the sun was dipping behind the coast range, a
frenzied mass of humanity. 12,000 strong, saw Oregon go down
to glorious defeat to her traditional rival, the Oregon Aggies.
The first Homecoming game ever lost, the first game with a
collegiate team ever lost on Hayward field.
This is the first Aggie victory since the hectic war year,
1917, and was a well-earned victory as the 6-0 score will indi
cate. From chalk mark to chalk mark the two teams fought
for every inch and the old grads will have something to take
home with them—the fact that Oregon is still putting out her
fighting teams who go down to defeat in a glorious fighting
fashion.

(Continued on page three)
The Aggie chance came in the
second quarter and they took ad
vantage of it. With the ball on hi*
own 26-yard line, Price, Beaver pilot,
elected to carry the ball through
the right side of the Oregon line.
He sifted through, shook off a
couple of tacklers, side-stepped
Chapman, and steamed on for a
touchdown, thus completing a 74
yard run from the line of scrim
mage. He was aided in the early
part of his run by perfect interfer
ence from the Orange and Blaek
line.
Mautz Block* Kick
Besides this there were two
serious advances on either goal line.
Boyken ran an intercepted pass to
Oregn’s 13-yard line, but a penalty
and a fumble robbed them of their
chance. Oregon had one opportunity
to score in the third period, when
Mautz blocked one of Gill’s kick*,
which deflected off the Oregon end
and went high in the air near the
Beaver goal.
Mautz made a frantic grab at the
pigskin, but it slipped through his
arms and Price recovered on the
Aggie five-yard line and on the next
play Gill kicked 40 yards out of \
danger.
The fans saw the Oregon line
play a whale of a game against that
beefy bunch of forwards from the
Aggie camp. They saw a line that
Beeped through often and stop Ag
gie backs behind their own line of
scrimmage. Every man was a tower *
of strength, but the signs were fav
orable to the Beavers.
Those 12,000 people saw a great
game played- in the Oregon back
field. One young man will be long
remembered for the last game he
played against the Oregon Aggies.
Hal Chapman was a good sized half
of the Oregon backfield. He plough
ed consistently through the opposing
line, picked his plays well and did
some awfully nice kicking, consider
ing the caliber of passing from cen
ter he received. Two or three time*
the passback was so low that he waa
compelled to kick the best way pos
sible.
Terjesen Injured
The Oregon offensive started out
well and was in mid-Aggie territory
when Terjesen was hurt and had to
be relieved by Sax. This injury
may have been the turning point
of the game. As it is, it will never
be known. Anyway the Great Dane
was crashing the line in excellent
style and his absence seriously in
jured the varsity chances.
Sax, the midget half, smeared him
self with glory in his one and only
game against the Aggies in an Ore
gon uniform. The little back tore
through the big Aggies several
times for good substantial gains.
Once in Aggie environs he had a pos
sible chance to convert the game in
to an Oregon victory, when he failed
to gather an Oregon pass. The ball
was slightly out of his reach and
the chance for a score went glim
mering. With the exception of two
