VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY jOF OREGON, EUGENE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1925 NUMBER 31 VARSITY ON EDGE FOR CONTEST; CAMPUS A WAITS GRADS’ RETURN O. A. C. Vs. ! OREGON Weight Comparison Gives Slight Advantage in Favor of Eleven from Corvallis Forty husky Beaver players will j entrain from Corvallis Friday after-1 noon for the struggle on Hayward ■ field the following afternoon. It’s a powerful machine that Coach Paul Schissler has developed in the compounds of our sister institution. The dope favors the Orange horde for they have completed a fairly successful season. The weights of the two teams gives O. A. C. a slight advantage. Oregon’s heavy baekfield, in all probability composed of Jones, Wet zel, Vitus, and Anderson, will out weigh the Aggies by only two or three pounds. Schulmerich, the 199 pound giant, boosts the team’s weight. Pahl Snider, 185-pound full back holds it up for Web Edwards and Red Denman, 150 and 165 pounds, respectively. The beef' on the Aggie line lies in big Jim Dixon and Lewis Dick erson, who weigh a total of 417 pounds; 210 for one and 207 for the other. Both are tackles. Dixon is over, six feet three inches in height; and Dickerson is six feet, six inches. Djlxon is the fastest man on the team and can outsprint the fast baekfield toien or ends. Both men outweigh A1 Sinclair and Homer Dixon by 15 pounds to the man. * * • Guards find the Oregon players just about on an even basis with Roy Hickert, 160, and Glen Alin sted, 185. Bailey Shields, Socolof sky, Bliss, Leavitt or Kerns will enter for Oregon. * # * Ends for Oregon, Mautz ■ and Smith outweigh Dallas Ward and John Logan by 15 pounds each. Ward, 170, will probably play against Mautz and Logan, 150 pounder, against Smith. Center is a stand-off. Lloyd Bal com, 175, outweighs Carl Johnson, but weighs less than Nick Carter. In the Aggie machine. three men are playing their last year. They are Paul Snider, fullback; Glenn Olmsted, guard, and Roy Rickart, tackle. * # * Every man on the starting lineup, with the exception of Snider, Olm sted, and Rickert, and most of the substitutes pldyed on that famous Aggie frosh team of two years ago. This makes their third year of play together. In the starting lineup there is but one letterman, the veteran 185 pound fullback, Paul Snider. The rest of the men, with one exception, are juniors. • • * Enthusiasm is high in Corvallis. Everyone is behind Schissler’s team. The Orange and Black comes once again as a favorite. Dope records and figures go to the winds when two machines fighting for the big gest game of the season clash. A mighty battle is in store. EX-LIBRARIAN DIES Word was received yesterday of the death of Mrs. Graham McCon nell, who died at the Good Samari tan Hospital, Portland, Sunday evening. Mr. McConnel was libra rian of art and architecture at the University library last year. BONFIRE CHIEF DEMANDS IHIII FROSH REPORT Work to Begin in Earnest Today—"Biggest Blaze” ' Aim of Frosh Committee Special Feature Planned;! Girls to Serve Coffee to Men of Night Squad Every freshman is expected to report today to those in charge of the Homecoming bonfire on Kin- ; caid field and help with the con struction of it, states Elam Am stutz, assistant general chairman of Homecoming, who has charge of this work. Boland MeCreight is the fresh man chairman and working under him are: Joe Bally, in charge of materials; Ben Southers, transpor tation; Thornton Gale, guarding; and Joe Holiday, construction of the fire. Frosh Working Hard Year after year the freshman class tries to outdo its predecessors in the construction of the largest bonfire. The huge Homecoming bonfire that each year helps put the ^‘old pep” into the students and the returning grads, is handled ex clusively by freshmen. This year the freshmen are tak ing the responsibility of this task to heart and are attempting to do their bit towards a successful Homecoming. Blaze to . be Fast The plans are to construct a bon fire that -will burn furiously while it is burning, and will last but a comparatively short/ time. This willi insure a spectacular conflagration, and one that will be at the peak of its size when the important cere monies will be in progress. A great amount of work has al ready been done by the first year men. Large poles have been set in the ground, and will furnish a framework in which the material will be placed. More Fuel Needed A great deal of material is al ready on the ground but more will be needed to fill the required space of the pyre, which is 20 feet square and about 45 feet high. The size is limited by the University authorities to lessen fire danger. As the fire must be completed by Friday noon, most of the work will have to be done today. A spe cial treat is in store for those men of the class of ’29 who have to re main on guard duty tonight, as the freshman women are organized and will serve hot coffee and some form of refreshments at midnight to the watchers. The freshmen have a surprise in store for everyone in the way of a special feature during the -burning of the fire. John Nelson has charge of this part of the program. ORDER OF ‘O’ MEN MEET AT 12:30 FOR PARADE According to Louie Anderson, president of the Order of the “O,” all wearers and former wearers of the lemon-yellow “O” are requested to meet at Hayward field-next Sat urday at 12:30 p. m. Mr. Anderson stated that a sign would designate the place for the meeting. Before the Homecoming game the annual parade of the Order of the “O” will be held. It was strongly empha sized that all men wear their sweaters. A section of seats has been con structed in front of the old grand stand for the wearers of the “O.” At 6:30 o’clock a banquet will be held at the Campa Shoppe for the owners of the lemon-yellow letters. Women to Carry Green and Yellow j Balloons at Game A novel feature of the Home coming game and a colorful part of it will he \he green and yel low balloons which every Oregon co-ed is expected to wear as part of the general scheme of field decorations. Special arrangements have been made by the committee in charge of the stunt with the Woolworth store in town. Bal- j loons may be obtained there at j a cost of five cents apiece and it is imperative that every house manager make it her duty to get these balloons or appoint some one to do it for her. Hugh Biggs, who has charge of the regular field decorations, will have charge of this event also and he wants every woman to make it her duty to carry these balloons and add to the colorful effect on the field. For those women who do not live in some organization bal loons may be obtained at Wool worths. House managers must call sometime today in order to insure getting the proper quota, as only 1500 balloons have been ordered by the committee.

FOR F Determination Shown by Squad on Field as Work for Aggie Tilt Advances Frequent Changes in Line Made by Mentor; Backs Show Good in Workouts By Dick Godfrey Deep in ‘ the real Oregon mud, caused by real Oregon rain, the Ore gon football machine is turning the afternoon hours into use in its ef fort to prepare for the coming on slaught of the Oregon Aggies, Sat urday. Every man and coach trekked home yesterday afternoon only after The players showed the effect of darkness drove them from the field, the gruelling three-hour session. They were limping and bruised but happy. Beavers to Meet Beal Team Work—intensive work, done with out a smile, is the program for this week. The men realize they must find themselves, find themselves as a real team, in order to beat the Beavers this year. They are classed as 14 points be low the coming Beaver. However, to watch them work, this 14 point margin given the Aggies is liable to look awfully big when the Beaver colony representatives hit the Web foot line. Coach Strengthens Line A line, one to equal that which withstood the onslaught of the Washington backs last year, is the desire of the coaches. In order to get a combination of this type the coaches are shoving varsity men back to the ranks of the scrubs and boosting scrubs to take their places. But when a scrub gets a chance and doesn’t look so good he is shoved back. Then a new*man is given a chance. Yesterday Warren and Leavitt were tried at guard. Then Bailey and Socolofsky took a try. This combination didn’t satisfy the coaches, so Bliss was given a chance with Bailey. This combina tion worked together two years ago and showed up well yesterday. Even with this good showing the coaches are not entirely satisfied. They want to send the best eleven \ men into the game Saturday they can get. Everybody is shot ft and then jerked. Backfield Stated Strong The backfield seems tc be the only settled part of’the team. Jones is tearing up the mud _at fullback; Anderson is hurling passes with un canny ability and is running the team in a manner unseen before this (year. Wetzel is showing exceptional ability in booting the slippery ball, ! and Vitus is cracking opposition in ! interference. This is only the of fensive side of the play, however. On the defense each man has been assigned his territory and from work against the scrubs and frosh, it doesn’t seem safe to mingle long in their territory. “The lineup for the game is a problem witl| me,” said Coach Smith yesterday, “I’m planning, on using the eleven best men, but as yet I am not quite sure who they will be.” Anyway everything will be ready by Saturday afternoon at 1:30, when j the team is led on the field by Cap | tain Bob Mautz. STUNTS TBYOUTS Tryouts for all rally stunts will be held today at 11 o’clock in the Woman's building. There will be no other tryout period held before the rally.

The squad, which is made up of the second string men, were hard at work last night in preparation for the game. Play after play was run through perfecting all rough edges. The passing department of the team was in good form. The wet, slippery ball seemed to make no difference to these gridiron as pirants. The starting lineup will find Johnson and Shotwell at ends. Both men are light but offset this handi cap with speed. Wade and Bonnett, tackles, are big men. “Tiny” Wade tips the beam at 217 pounds. Rhodes and Hindz, guards, are short, heavy men. Carlson, center, has proven to be a, good passer-back with a quick spiral pass.. Jost, quarterback, was barking out the signals in first team style in last night’s play. Coles and Raymond, halfbacks, are speedy and can hit the line to a good ad vantage. Llewelly, fullback, is ex pected to give the Legion players considerable to worry about. The men making the trip are: Johnson, Shotwell, Wade, Bonnett, Rhodes, Hindz, Carlson, Jost, Llewl lyn, Coles, Raymond, Harthrong, Blum, Bynington, Brandon, Brunze, Whorlley, Strader, Bratton, Benson, ; Gilbert, Brown, and Assistant Coach i Bill Allison.

Because .of duties elsewhere dur | ing the game, athletic managers, members of To-ko-lo and Grakos will be unable to aid in the feature. As there are no classes today, Fred Hendricks and Paul Sletton, in i charge of the feature, expect a large i number of men to be present for I the affair.
