On To Portland Bag The Bruins On To Portland I Bag The Bruins 1_ VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1925 NUMBER 18 OREGON DEMANDS COMPLETE VICTORY EDJm^L Gunning For The GOLDEN BEAR : Bruins Hold No Advan tage, Comparison Of Players On Both Teams Shows Oregon’s lineup which will enter the game against Andy Smith’s so called “wonder team” is going to stack up just about on a par if not better than the famlous team. The Bears have no great advantage over the Webfooters. , The Iteam fumbles, pulls "loners,” and was defeated two weeks ago. It is far from the great superhuman ma chine which imagination paints. A comparison of the ends shows no great difference except that Cal ifornia has three sets of equal calibre. Boufgerv and Mell will probably enter the game. Both are fast but small. Bob Mautz, is tall er, faster, heavier, and has had two years experience. Sherm Smith on the other side is the fighter of the team. He is as fast, beyond a doubt, as any of the Golden Bear ends, and he knows football. . Dr. Albert Boles stated that Oregon ends are as good as California’s. Tackles opposing Andy Smith’s line wi« be A1 Sinclair and Bert Kerns. Both are as heavy as Sar gent and Cock, their opponents. Sargent and Cock, with Coltrin and Green in reserve are lanky and, heavy, weighing between 180 and 185 pounds. They are built rangy like Sinclair. Both Kerns and Sin clair are as experienced and cap able as they. As far as beef, speed and football brains are concerned there is no difference. Warren and Dixijn, in reserve are new and un tried. Gene Shields and Ken Baily, guards, are opposing two big, heavy and rangy men. Carey and Couper, Bau, Kiswander, and Har vey will be in reserve. Shields has had three years of line work and is perhaps the most experi enced linesman on the job. Ken Bailey is light and short, but the fastest man on the line, not ex cepting the ends. Socolofsky, Bliss, and Harden are the new men at the position. Carl Johnson, has a tougl> job on j his hands in Miller, the California center, who is as big and as heavy as the guards and tackles. The weight of the Oregon baek field far exceeds that of the Gold en Bears. Two fast halves, Wet zel and Vitus, who are close to ten-second men off the gridiron, combine weight with speed. Both weigh over 180 pounds and are hard hitting line plungers, besides good runners. Tut Imlav, Dixon, Grif fin, and Perrin, all medium-sized, but as shifty as greased lightning. It is doubtful that they are as fast as the Oregonians, and they | are not as good plungers as Wetzel or Vitus. They are more experi enced, however. Anderson at quarter, opposes ex-, ceptional field generals in Blewett and Carlson. Louie is playing his j i hird ye»ar on the’team.

The thing that the varsity has lacked so far this season has come this week,, and the machine that failed in the first two games lias changed to a combination that is filled with determination to win. A noticeable rise in the spirit of the study body is evidenced in the activity of the team now that the entire University is demanding a winning team. Gone are the days of “good losers.” combinations that, held the opposition to low scores, and teams that entered the game defeated. Alibis are discarded, and the coaching staff confident of not merely holding the Golden Bears but of winning. The team is out to win. The players have been cracking it hard and heavy this week. A change of attitude has made it hard going for the freshmen teams that have had to meet a vicious varsity in scrim mage for three days in the past week. The team is working now with perfect rythm. There is a certainty of movement that has never been seen before. New plays are snappy. Drill after drill has been run through for three hours each day on plays, so that the men are now running through them in excellent form. Out* of the cloud of mystery that has shadowed Hayward field all this week the secret processes will come the result on Saturday ,of the week’s intensive work on new east gate of the north stand on 19th and Morrison streets. It is necessary for all students to have their football tickets before leav ing Eugene. Tickets are on sale at the Co-op. University girls will occupy the (Continued on page four) FRESHMEN HEAR Y. W. NATIONAL SECRETARY Miss Elsie Heller," national Y. W. C. A. secretary, addressed the fresh men eommision at their first meet ing at the Y. W. C. A. hut at four thirty yesterday afternoon. Miss Heller described the constructive work that can be done by Y. W. C. A. workers, speaking in partic-, ular of the interest taken by for eign students and industrial work ers in the United States. The meeting was conducted by Beatrice Peters, general chairman j of the organization. The next meet ing will be held next Thursday af ternoon and a report of nominees for officers will be made at that time. The object of the freshman com mission is to bring the new girls together, to prepare them for their futnre college work, and to broaden their scope. It is the only organi zation ‘of freshmen women 6n the campus.'

Louie Anderson and Sherman Smith will attempt to force the latter view upon the visi tors from the south. “Tut” Xmlay and Boh Griffen are among the Californian horde that is loathe to accept this view, so a rather rough argument is expected. Oregon Demands That California Be Humbled In Tomorrow’s Game By The Editor rT"'HE TIME has come for Oregon to step out and demand victories. “Victory” and not “Hold ’em Oregon!” must be the battle cry if the University is to achieve athletic success. Give heed to a quotation from a San Francisco paper. “The game will be played at Portland Saturday and will come as a welcome diversion to the Bruins after their hard battle against the Olympic club and St. Mary’s . . . Cali fornia figures to win by four or five touchdowns at least—” That’s what they think of Mighty Oregon in California; that’s what our ‘hold ’em Oregon’ attitude has accom plished . . . “Welcome diversion”—a good wrorkout for the California boys! There’s such a thing as being too good a loser; and Oregon is a classic example. For the past several college genera tions Oregon has been suffering in her athletics from the ‘good loser complex’ . . . Lose a game—no matter— jprbbably win another—oan’t expect to .wfn.ill .t^^time—just, so the score isn't too "big That's Qregon spirit as' it stands today. We are too willing to be losers! Of course Oregon’s honor will not be lost tomorrow if the team is defeated. As long as good sportsmanship and ‘fight to the finish’ prevails the HONOR of the University will be secure. But remember this—you Sons of Oregon. Football as we play it, demands Victory. Oregon, as a member of the Pacific Coast conference is expected to be a powerful con tender for the crown. That means victories, and not ‘re spectable showings.’ So, away with the alibi attitude—this faint hearted complaisance! Oregon has a splendid athletic tradition to back up the conviction that Oregon teams, straining to the utmost, are not defeated. Remember the Harvard and Penn sylvania games? Oregon went out to win. Oregon of old demands that Oregon of the moment be not satisfied with a ‘good showing,’ or ‘a good scrap.’ Ore gon of old—-the Oregon that was reared on triujnphs—Re mands a victory and nothing less. rn ^ i SM SET fBII Ticket Slale Reaches High NT ark; Oregon Student Roofer Section is Assured Huge Stag Smoker At Club Ends RalTy; Students To Also Wear Rooter's Lids By Wilbur Wester Two rod-hot wires from Portland, arriving yesterday, cinched tho pro gram for the huge noise rally pa rade’ in Portland tonight.
