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.” LOCAL MORTAR BOARD SENDS DELEGATE EAST Frances Simpson to Attend Biennial Conference Frances Simpson, president of the local chapter of Mortar Board, leaves the first of November for Lexington, Kentucky, where she will attend the national, biennial cenvention of the organization, which will be held November 6, 7, and 8.

PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Alpha Beta Chi announces the pledging of Baymond Cripes of Raymond, Washington. 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 (Continued on Page Four) 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.

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.

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.
