TEAM SELECTED
TO STURT DIE
AGAINST IDAHO
Opening Lineup Includes
Several Veterans of ’24;
Bench Full of Reserves
Finishing Touches Put On
Varsity in Passing and
Kicking Offense Tactics
The varsity practiced long after
dark last night perfecting Oregon’s
new offense. Soon the ghost ball
will make its appearance and sig
nals will be called after dusk. Last
night, passes, line plays, punts and
everything were worked over. Dick
Baz and Bill were in the thick of
it putting the final touches on the
squad. It was a rehearsal of the
concentrated work that has been
going on all week.
The line up which will probably
enter the game Saturday was an
nounced last night. There will be
many substitutions if the present
plans of the coaches work out. It
is noticeable that the varsity which
begins the tilt contains more ex
perience that went in the Mult
nomah game. Two veterans, Bob
Mautz and Sherm Smith, will go
in as ends. Both are experienced
in the passing game, for last year
they played against the Vandals,
and it was in that game that
Smith distinguished himself. Tack
les will be A1 Sinclair and Bert
Kerns, strong men of the line and
two year veterans. Sinclair makes
his initial appearance this year on
the varsity after a year’s absence.
He was tackle on the frosli squad
of 1922 and center on the 1923 var
sity. Bert Kerns is a seasoned
linesman. Guards will have the
same combination as last year. Ken
Bailey, back in the harness for the
rest of the season and Gene Shields
on the oposite side of the line.
The center will be fighting Carl
Johnson, veteran of last year.
Mimnaugh To Start
The starting backfield combina
tion will have Louie Anderson at
Quarter, George Mimnaugh, passer,
punter, and runner at one halfback
berth. Beryl Hodgen, hard hitting
line plunger of last years frosh,
at the other half, the only new man
to start in the lineup. Locomotive
Jones, faster than last year, and
with a year’s play to help him out,
will fill the fullback position.
There is a complete team on the
bench ready to fill in the gaps and
go in when called. Walt Socolof
sky, Harry Leavitt, and Hall Har
den at guards. Bert Gooding, vet
eran, will undoubtedly get in at
tackle, with John 'Warren and
Homer Dixon for the other side.
Ends will be Frank Biggs and
Dwight Hedges, Nick Carter will
substitute at center. In the back
field. Vic Wetzel, Bed Lang
worthy, Otto Vitus, and Parley
Stoddard will alternate with the
starters.
Vandals In Hard Battle
The Idaho football squad comes
here little marred in strength or
morale after the close call with
the obscure College of Idaho last
defeated their opponents, 16 to 14.
week end when the Vandals barely
Anson Cornell, famous old Oregon
football man, has developed a won
derful team at the little school half
the size of Willamette. They were
so strong that the Idaho coach con
sidered his team lucky to win.
11RING out those rooters
LJ lids tonight and for the
game tomorrow. No one is too
good to wear the colors of Oregon
and those hats are needed to
help put the old time pep into
things,” says the yell king. “If
you are too proud to wear your
lid, don't come. If you are too
poor to buy a lid, try to make
a credit transaction with the co
op. Every, loyal Oregon man
will be there with a rooter’s lid
and a good pair of lungs hit
, ting on both cylinders.”

FROSH PRESIDENCY
RECEIVES SUPPORT
The inter-fraternity council last
night by a unanimous vote went
on record as favoring cooperation
with the general movement of mak
ing the freshman presidency a po
sition of respect. Fighting clear
of any possible misinterpretation
that might raise this office higher
than any freshman ought to go,
the council’s motion provided that
th,e freshman president should be
considered the same as any other
freshman, implying by this the in
dividual was not to be exalted too
highly, but at the same time would
not be subject to ridicule and abuse
for the sole reason that he held
this office.
The council in order to discour
age mistreatment of incumbents of
the freshman presidency, adopted
the following resolution: Resolved,
That inasmuch as a distinct effort
is being made, on the part of the
student council^ to enforce Oregon
traditions in a definite and organ
ized manner, the inter-fraternity
council go on record as opposing un
organized and uncontrolled campus ;
disciplining.

prize in the Lane county typing

Yell Practice and
Talks By Coach
To Follow Parade
Oregon s pep and spirit is coming back on the campus with
a big pep rally tonight as a starter for tomorrow’s crucial game
with Idaho. The rally will start at 7:00 p. m. from the Kappa
Sigma corner and will cover most of the campus in its route,
finally ending up at the men’s gymnasium where the first
yell practice of the year will start.
All of Oregon’s yells will be given a thorough workout and
every effort will be made to “spike up” the varsity for the big
battle. Coaches Smith, Williams, Rhinehart and Hayward will
be there along with members of the team, according to Fred
Martin, yell leader.
JIM FORESTEL HEADS
RALLY COMMITTEE
New Features and Stunts
Will Be Outlined
•—-w
Realizing the important part that
Oregon rallies play in relation to
football contests, a permanent rally
committee was appointed last night
with James Forestel as chairman.
Five big rallies will be given dur
ing the grid season, including to
night’s rally for the Idaho battle.
The same committee will be in
charge of all of these “serpentine
events.”
The rally committe is as follows:
.Tames Forestel, chairman; Fred
Martin, yell king; Fred Hendricks
and Bob Warner, yell leaders; Wil
bur Webster, publicity; Hugh Wal
lace, Limy Flynn, William James,
Don Jeffries, Dona Flemming,
Marion Wagini and Dorothy Dou
gall.
James Forestel is outlining many
new features and stunts to make
rallies one of the outstanding fac
tors in Oregon’s heavy grid sched
ule this year. Special trains will
run to Portland for the California
game, with a rally proceeding the
California game on Friday night.
A “200 student” special will also
run to Seattle for the Washington
game, with the rally held in Seattle
on the night before. The usual
Homecoming rally with many new
events will also tbe held this year
the night before the O. A. C. con
test. A rally will also be held be
fore the Stanford game.
In the past, these “pep events”
have greatly aided the Lemon-Yel
low eleven in fighting against
heavy odds, and with an unusually
heavy football schedule lined up
for this year, student officials
realized the importance of organ
izing a permanent comm^tteje to
place rallies on the same plane as
they are ot other leading .coast
universities.
POLICE ASK STUDENTS
NOT TO DRIVE TO GAME
University students are urged by
the police department to leave their
cars at home Saturday and come
to the Oregon-Idaho game on foot
in order to lessen the traffic prob
lem. There will be many outsiders
in town on that day and their cars
will occupy all of the available
parking space near Hayward field.
Placards advertising the game
have been posted over the city. The
routes to be followed by autoists in
reaching the field are indicated on
the signs by large red arrows. This
system will distribute the traffic
more evenly over the different
streets and will in part do away
with much of the congestion.
i
The parade will be lead by the
new 50 piece R. O. T. C. band fol
lowel by seniors, juniors, sopho
mores, and freshmen, while the
girls will fall in along the line of
march. At the gym the girls will
occupy the balcony and the men
will remain on the floor. It will
bo a short peppy rally and will
not delay early dates.
Spirit At Low Ebb
“At present Oregon spirit, better
known as “fight” is at a low ebb.
Tomorrow afternoon the varsity
faces the crucial game of the con
ference season,” said Fred Martin.
Bob Mathews has his Idaho Yan
dalS all primed to beat the varsity.
Last year they did beat us and
broke a jinx of many years. It
is up to the student body to fire
the team up, if they don’t, Idaho
will undoubtedly repeat its victory
of last year. So far this year the
student body has laid down on the
job, we have not given the team
the backing it deserves. Turn out
for the rally, get fired up over the
big game and instill the necessary
fight into the varsity. It is up to
every Oregon student to do his or
her bit to start the varsity off on
a most successfll season. Rejuvon
ate that fight.
Support Is Necessary
“Coaches and players are worked
up to a kcon .point over the pros
pects for Saturday and are deserv
ing of ev'crv bit of support that
lies within the power of the stu
dent body. Come out, get the spirit
tonight, then to go the big battle
at Hayward Field Saturday and
show the team they they have a
loyal and fighting stand full of
rooters.
“It is going to take that old
fighting Oregon spirit in the stands
Saturday to win the game.”
CHEMISTRY TEACHERS
