Oregon Fight Will Blow off Steam; Serpentine
jt-ead by Mayor Baker to Multnomah Field;
Fighting Spirit Dominant Amorig Students
A last practice was held last night before Oregon's 27 grid
iron warriors ieft for Portland and what promises to be the great
est football battle in the northwest this season.
For the .first time this year the team is “on.its. toes.” There
has been a radical change in spirit. There is no thought of losing,
or of holding the Golden Bears, A new team with » new spirit
will take the field this afternoon at 2:30 against Andy Smith’s
smart eleven. 1 . '
Two months of hard work have been spent in drilling- the team for
this game, and it has reached the heighth of its efficiency. The only
way the team can go is up the ladder. The coaching stiff has absolute
confidence in the players. Some of the finest material in the northwest
has been an unmolded mass, but today it enters the game in its finished
form.
The last two weeks have been spent in developing an offense for
today’s gamfe/ The Pacific game was merely a practice workout and
the regulars were reserved for the “big” game of the year.
A veteran. lineup from end to end on the line makes the forward
defense strong; as strong as that of the Californians. It is not as heavy
by about five pounds to the man, as the southern line, but it is speedy.
Experience today will count for much and these men have it. The
offense, formerly the weak point of the Oregon team, has developed to
a remarkable stage of efficincy.
Three things are counted on to put the Lemon-Yellow over the high
hurdle of the year. The veteran line with a strong defense is the main
thing. The heavy powerful backfield which has a world of speed, and
the punting of Vic Wetzel, are the other factors, besides for the first
time in years, there is a capable group of reserves on the bench, waiting
the call.
There is plenty of excitement bound up in the two teams. It is going
to be a thriller from whistle to gun shot. The speeacular California
backs will get into action; Oregon’s heavy line plungers will do their
.stuff for the first timjfc this year; long kicks, passes and fine field
work will fill the afternoon, for two polished elevens will clash.
The weather promises to be ideal. No fog will obscure the game or
wet weather spoil the aerial attack.

Eugene will be given the opportun

Oregon Chances
Against Bear Good
Seen By Records
Both Oregon and California
have met defeat this season. Cal
ifornia’s team is drilled to reach
its top season form early in the
year in order to show well
against the teams that point for
it.
Oregon has failed to show np
this year, hut the team is com
ing around slowly. Bigger men
develop slowly so that after two
months of work Oregon is how
at top form. California is taking
the game lightly hut Oregon is
hopped up to win.
Be cord of games this season:
California 52, Nevada 0.
California 0, Olympic Cluh 6.
California 6, St. Mary’s 0.
Total, California 68, Lost 6.
Oregon 0, Multnomah 0.

OREGON eons PREPARED

POINTED TO DEFEAT CAIIFOBNIA
Smashing Advances and Flash Plays To Mark
Game At Multnomah This Afternoon
When Polished Const Teams Will Clash
Oregon spirit is at fever heat, and all is primed for the Big
Fight. The memory of Oregon teams that bagged bigger game
than the Golden Bear is crystallizing into a-determination to
bring home the Bear’s hide.
Last night’s noise parade and rally, in which hundreds of
students joined the alumni shaking the foundations'' of Port
land V business center, destroyed the last vestiges of sedate
reserve.
Every student that could leave the campus is making PoHlanit'his
Mecca today. Hundreds arrived on the big S. P. Special last- night akdl
many others are coming via automobile and train today—all with the
one idea of eating Bear meat tonight.
Today at 1:30 from the Multnomah hotel, a serpentine, lead
George Baker, will head for the MultnomSah field, and the pent-tip Oregon
fight will have another chance tp> blow off steam before1 the game starts.
And it’s going to be a hot fight. The Oregon team is ready, and with
the fighting spirit that is fairly sizzling in 3000 students and' alumni
right at their backs, there’s a whopping big chance that if the California
team gets its Golden Bear home at all it’s going to be in shreds'.
The team that will trot out on the fiold today for Oregon is primed
to the ears with a “Fight to Win” spirit. Oregon is tired of losing—and
an over-confident opponent is a good one to staft reversing the order
of this season’s scores upon. California is not impregnable, and the
Oregon team anil students know it. A high feeling of optimism, with a
foundation of determination, is growing.
Students and alumni who are flocking into the bloachers at Miultnomah
this afternoon aren’t going with a sneaking feeling that there isn’t nfuch
use to make a lot of noise, or to put every ounce of their own support
behind the team. They are there with the conviction that if hard, clean
playing and boundless morale can win a game, it’s already won.
Fight ’em, Oregon! !
