NAME ‘YELLOW FANG’
RETAINED BY EDITORS
So numerous have been the re
quests from all over the campus
that the “Yellow Fang” retain its
old name, that the board of editors
has conceded. This is contrary to
the custom that each year the scan
dal sheet at the Y. M.-Y. W. mix
be published under a new mast
head.
Members of Sigma Delta Chi re
port that almost all of the material
is in the hands of the editors and
for the mix Friday evening. The
sheet will be filled with numerous
bits of information concerning stu
dents, faculty , members and cam
pus institutions.
The paper, a five column, four
page publication, is slightly enlarg
ed over the one last year. It will
be sold as one of the features on
the program by members of the or
ganization. Ten cents or one dime
will be the toll collected by the
amateur “newsies.” All are asked
to bring correct change to assist
the sale.
R. O. T. C. BAND WILL PLAY
AT THE GAME SATURDAY
The third appearance of the R.
O. T. C. band will be Saturday af

Lauds Spirit Seen
At Stanford Game
In a letter received by Virgil '
Earl, athletic manager of the J
University of Oregon, from
S. R. Thurston, an Oregon alum- j
nus from San Francisco, who is
employed by the Bethlehem Ship
building corporation, impressive
testimony is given of the way the
Oregon team fought do\£n at Palo
Alto last Saturday.
Mr. Thurston says in part,
“before consigning the impres
sions of Saturday’s game to the
Archives of the Past,' I feel that
I must write to you and say that
the Oregon bunch that were on
the side lines were certainly
strong for Oregon. Furthermore,
I will say to you that Oregon did
not lose—Oregon won. Oregon
won the respect, Oregon won the
admiration, and Oregon won the
gratitude of all true and loyal
Oregon men and women.”

WHITMAN CLASH
IS SATURDAY GO
Walla Walla Squad Entrains
For Eugene Today; Will
Hold Workout on Friday
FAST GAME EXPECTED
Neither Missionaries Nor
Lemon-Yellow Gridsters
Handicapped by Injuries
When two different teams that
have been rapidly developing with
the playing of eaeh game, play the
other, it is a contest well worth at
tending. Such will be the case this
coining Saturday.
Whitman, the team, that has not
yet made an appreciable showing,
will swing into action against the
varsity eleven. Although the Mis
sionaries have lost both games with
Washington and O. A. C. by rather
one-sided scores, the Whitman team
is far from being an easy team to
beat. Coach Borleske has been
handicapped to some extent this
season because of the lack of vet
eran material and being forced to
use even freshmen to complete a
line-up. The first' two contests
played by the Maize and Blue really
served as gauges to bring out the
many faults of a new and green
combination. “Nig” has correct
ed these faults by profiting from
the experiences of the early season
tilts. Now Borleske boasts of a
string of men that may come to the
front by trouncing some Northwest
eleven.
Whitman is Strong
The Whitman aggregation is very
light but the lack of weight is
easily offset by the fact that they
are as speedy a combination as any
other co’ast eleven. Borleske has
drilled his team to a high point of
efficiency in the art of deceptive
and speedy style of play. An
aerial game mixed with end runs
and cross bucks is the chief means
by which the Whitman team ex
pects to get around the-Oregon de
fense. ,
The Whitman squad will leave
for Eugene t.oday and they are ex
pected to arriye on Friday. This
will give Coach Borleske time to
send his men through a light signal
practice on Hayward field the day
before the big game. Although the
Missionaries have played games
with two of the heaviest teams in
the Northwest conference, they are
fortunate inasmuch as their team
is still intact and none of their meta
are on the injured list. Coach Bor
leske is intending to bring about
20 men with him for the game with
Oregon.
Oregon is Improving
The Oregon team has been
steadily improving ever since their

JOHNSON IS A GOOD CENTER
BLAKE, OLD LETTERMAN, OUT
By W. A. J.
Carl Johnson, first varsity sub
stitute center, dragged down quite
a bit of fame for himself when he
scored the second of Oregon's
touchdowns in the Stanford game
last week-end when he recovered
on a pass fumbled by Mautz. Un
fortunately he didn’t get to play
very long on account of being
knocked out, but those few minutes
he did play he accounted for him
self in fine style.
Johnson is the next man in line
for the center job. He is enly 19
years old and a sophomore so his
work will be in the future and
probably not so much this year. He
has a wonderful prospect for that
position next season. He will go
in for Fat Wilson if Fat is laid out
or unable to play.
He received his first football ex
perience at Oregon City where he
played for three years. He was
center on the froBh squad last year.
The games he gets into this year
will serve him later on when he
is called upon to hold down the
position regularly.
Johnson reminds one of Prink
■ Callison, Oregon's three year vet
leran center, except that he isn’t
quite as tall or as heavy. But he
is rangy and fast which makes up
for any lack of weight. He is 5
feet IX inches tall and weighs about
170 pounds.
Merle Blake, known to older stu
dents by the name of ‘ ‘ Busher ”
came back to the University last
year after several years ’ absence.
jHe is a letterman in football, hav
ing made his letter on one of the
'old hard-boiled teams, in 1917. That
was when the eampus was in the
maelstrom of war enthusiasm. How
ever, in the years since then other
men have come up for the varsity
and now Blake has to wait hie
chances again.
Blake is being played at half on
one of the second teams It is
hard to tell whether or not he will
get in this year for there are sev
eral dependable backs whom Had
dock can place in if need be. He
has a good build for a backfield
man, weighing 170 pounds and
being 5 feet 11 inches tall.
So far he has not played in any
of the games Blake comes from
lone, where he received his first
'high school football experience. II
he can regain his old speed, hii
football knowledge ought to get
him in some of the future games.

More Than Nearest Competitor.
Victor Risley was elected vice
president of the student body, at
the special election of the A. S.
TJ. O. yesterday, receiving 457
votes, over 200 more than his near
est competitor. Harold Lundberg
came next with 230 votes, while
Erroll Murpsy received 127. The
total number of votes cast was 814,

and Phi Qamma Delta.
"The election went off without a
hitch,” said Ruth Akers, secretary
of the student body, who aeted as
chairman of the election board, in
the absence of a vice-president,
“and everyone deserves a vote of
thankB for being so prompt about
helping.” The four polls; with
plenty of people at each one, sim
plified the election, and made things
move quickly and efficiently.

STUDENT DIRECTORY
IS PLACED ON SALE
The University of Oregon faculty
and student directory has been run
off the press and a consignment
will be placed on sale this morning
at the University Co-op and also
at Coe's stationery store on Wil
lamette street. The price this
year will be, as usual, 25 cents.
A thousand copies, only, of the
directory have been printed since
many of the students on the cam
pus do not purchase the books.
Those who especially desire the di
rectories should take the earliest
opportunity to obtain them.
The directory is somewhat dif
ferent this year than it has been
hitherto. The color of the cover
has been changed so that it may
easily be distinguished from those
of former years, and a table of
contents is given on the first in
side page to facilitate the finding
of various departments in the book.
To take the place of the Univer
sity directory card, which has been
published several years, the office
telephones are placed immediately
following the table of contents.
For easier reference, the list of
campus living organizations are
printed in larger type, and the al
phabetical division of student ’a
names is well marked.
BASKETBALL PRACTICE
IS NOW UNDER WRY
Hobson and Gillenwaters
Only Lettermen Back
The first official varsity basket
ball practice workout was held
Tuesday afternoon in the gym.
About 25 men turne^ out, only two
of whom were first string men last
year. They are Howard Hobson,
captain, and Ted Gillenwaters.
Quite a few of last year’s subs
were out. Among them were Jost,
Gunther and Stoddard. “Russ”
Go wans is due back herd about
Christmas and his return will boost
Oregon’s hopes as he was a letter
man last year.
Fundamentals from the ground
up are being given the men. Coach
Reinhart has a lot of comparatively
green men to work with, so the
whole squad will spend many hours
getting the rudiments.
Oregon is very fortunate in get
ting a schedule in which all the
early games are played at home
and the late games away. This en
ables the men to meet their first
opponents on a floor they are
used to.
