VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13, 1925. NUMBER 33 O. A. C. VS. OREGON Enthusiasm Waxing Hot; Homecoming Crowd Will Be Largest In Grid History BY W. J. A record crowd for a football game in the state of Oregon will ivatch the 22 grim warriors 'to morrow afternoon on Hayward field. From every part of the state, grad uates and football enthusiasts are coming back for the classic on the gridiron schedule. The annual game has established itself as the great est battle of the year. * » * More than 20,000 people will watch the game from the covered grandstands. The new grandstand with a seating capacity of 4400 will be used for the first time. The biggest attendance at a foot ball game in the gridiron history of Oregon will exceed that of last Homecoming by five thousand and the California-Oregon game this fall in Portland by two thousand which up to this time holds the record. • * • This is Oregon’s initiation into the much sought realm of paying, big-attendance football. Football enthusiasm is running higher this year than ever before. Attendances are larger all over the country and Oregon has fallen in with the swing of things. More and larger facili ties are needed to take care of the increasing crowd. Stadiums are in demand. Oregon has progressed in drawing power but there is no place to handle the crowds. Oregon is moving in big league company for the first time in foot ball history so that it keeps the officials busy finding room for the spectators. In the two games played in the northwest against conference teams and the one this Saturday the total attendance will approximate 50,000. The Washington game at Seattle promises to be a record breaker. That can be put down on the sched ule as the big game of the year. The magnet that i3 drawing thou sands this week-end is the quality of the game. Recognized as a bat tle from start to finish thousands are expecting that fight and spect acular football that has character ized these games in the past. # * * There is the feeling among the enthusiasts that this is the Aggies’ year. They are coming back to see them mop up the field with Ore gon. O. A- C. has been the underdog for many years and now interest is high in seeing that underdog come out and win. It is the same feel ing that makes thousands watch California games in the hope that the Oolden Bears will be toppled from their lofty position. • • • Never before has such enthusiasm has been shown about the great Am erican sport in the northwest as has been evidenced this season. Teams are better, they are crowd pleasers and conference teams in the Pacific northwest are cfowd drawers with out an exception. * * » The Orange and Black with its five or six thousand suporters en ters the game, an overwhelming favorite for the first time in many years. On paper the dope gives them the edge. Their supporters are jus tified for their heavy well-drilled eleven has made a fine showing this season. * * * L. H. Gregory, Oregonian sports editor, figures the dope about even according to the reports of Stan ford coaches and players. * * * But the thing that draws them t,aclc—hundreds of miles over the state is the battle! Two teams per fectly trained and usually playing over their heads in this clash, is worth two ordinary games. _Say Hello To Alumni— TRADE JOURNALISTS MEET Ralph D.

Although the freshman football schedule does not call for many games played this season. All sea son, Coach Leslie has been pointing his men for this one game. ' The Aggie Rook game, which was won by the Corvallis lads last year 14 to 13, is the incentive of all first year men who have toiled ceaseless ly through the gridiron period. In a football game played at Roseburg on Armistice Day the yearling second team defeated the heavy American Legion team of that place 21 to 0. The freshman team although outweighed fought throughout the game. The three touchdowns were made with two forward passes and once the ball was bucked over. Llewllyn, full back, scored one touchdown from a line buck and the other touchdown came as a result of a well executed pass from Jost to quarterback, made the three try for point boots. “Tiny” Wade and Bonnett, tackles, played a good game. Hinds, guard, was also in a number of plays. Coles and Llewllyn starred for the yearlings in the backfield. The probable lineup for the Ag gie Rooks is as follows: Parker and Carr, ends; Luce and Ebert, tac kles; Eilers and Carlson, guards; Hokum, center; Maple, quarter back; Essman and Fulerson, half backs; and Whitlock, fullback.

SETFOR BIGGEST BUTTLE OF YEAR Rejuvenated Eleven To Take Field At 1:30 Saturday; Shields- Hodgen Are Out Players Are Physically Fit For Gridiron Struggle; Morale Of Team Is High By Web1 Jones The stage is set for the game of games of the season with the com pletion of the last hard practice on the two weeks intensive drill for .the varsity squad last night. The rain soaked gridiron was used for two hours of signal work. The field was slippery, but it has not had enough rain to make it quagmire and on a fairly firm foundation the squad was able to maneuver with some sort of sure ness among the pools. Mystery has covered Hayward field for the past week. What will come out of its secret recesses will be shown Saturday when the “new” varsity trots on the field. These two weeks of practice since the Stanford game has worked wonders with the team. It has not gone backward in any way but has con tinued on its steady climb toward perfection. Two Men Out The two major casualties of the team were not out in suits which means that they will not play in the game Saturday. Gene Shields’ ankle is still in a bad shape and Beryle Hodgen is limping. The men who ran signals as the first team last night were in fine condition. There will be no more fear on the part of the coaches that the men will be injured before the game, because the tapering off has started and no more dangerous f Continued on page fovn VESPERS TO BE HELD TWO HOURS EARLIER University Vespers will be held | at 2:30 o’clock Sunday, November 15, instead of 4:30 as usual.

It’s their Homecoming, not ours.” Such was the admonition of James Leake, general Homecom ing chairman, on the eve of what portends to be Oregon’s great est and best “Old Qrad” cele bration. “There’s little doubt that this eleventh annual alumni fete will be a success,” added Leake, “but it means nevertheless that 2755 of us active students must make the ‘alums’ glad they are back. “So say hello; show them ‘Ore gon spirit’ still lives.” HftYWARD FIELD STAFF SELECTED BY NIOESER Men Asked To Report At 11:30 a. m. Tomorrow Nearly 100 men, all members of either the athletic managerial staffs, Oregon Knights, To-Ko-Lo or Gra-Kos, will report to Hayward field at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow to do administrative work before and during the game. Each man has been selected for the special work he is to do, and has been assigned a definite place by Kay Moeser, athletic manager, who declared the failure of a single man to report would materially weaken the staff. The men are not to participate, in the rooters’ stunts, as they will be kept busy elsewhere. They are to report to their captains when reaching the field at 11:30. The complete roster follows: Ticket committee—Ken Stephen son, chairman; Bob Love, Jimmy Johnson, Carrol Williams, Bill Prud liomme, Burton Nelson, Forrest Wright, Wade Newbegin, Allen Bovden, Vern Dale, Ben Souther, Tom Montgomery, Ronald Me Creight, Elton Gant, John Nelson, Koy Weaver, Bur Abner, Ronald Christie, George Schade, Fred Joy, John Sherman, Larry Osterman, Lester Olson, Bob Heitkemper, John Hendren, Bruce Fenton, Beg Mor timer, Ab Lawrence, Fred Ziebrith, Don Grilley.

The biology department offers a premium of 25 cents for each desirable looking cat whicl^ is delivered at Deady hall. Because of the scarcity of ani mals to work on, the anatomy class is making slow progress, according to Dr. K. R. Heustis, of the depart ment. Cats which are sacrificed are not tortured, but are being gass ed with the same sort of gas that the students are exposed to every i day in the classroom. All Day . 7:00 P. M. 8:00 P. M. 8:30 P.

A. C. team when the latter was doped to win, and Ore gon was considered the underdog. This spirit, and this alone, will win on Hayward field Saturday.” These were the words of Ed Bailey, prominent alumnus and ex varsity football star, who spoke at the assembly yesterday in the audi torium of the Woman’s building. Bailey told of his happiness in anticipation of Homecoming, which he declared was the red letter event in the year for him, as well as to numerous other old-grads, because of the opportunity it gave for the renewing of college friendships. Walter Malcolm, president of the associated students, who presided at the assembly, emphasized that an attitude of friendliness and^ hospi tality should be assumed by every member of the student body during Homecoming week-end. Oregon, he declared, is no longer a small town college, in a small town, in a small town state. .Tames W. Leake, chairman of the Homecoming directorate out lined the events for the week-end. Ho urged all students to remember the “hello” tradition. He also de clared every student is expected to take a personal interest in all acti vities of the week-end to make this year’s Homecoming the “biggest and best.” Freddie Martin, yell king, in a short talk outlined rally plans for the week-end. He spoke of the Ore gon 'spirit, asking all students to “remember at all times that you are an Oregon student.” “Retain a friendly attitude to the visiting team and rooters,” he advised. —Say Hello To Alumni— EDITORS TO SPEAK Two of the speakers for tho High School conference, December 4 and 5, Marshall N.

Tickets for the Homecoming dances can be obtained there. Upon registering the “alums” will receive a paper “O” bear ing the Homecoming slogan, “Back—to Back., our. Oregon” and a space for the name and class. All houses are urged to see that their “alums” register. —And tonight, Oregon stu dents, both old and new, gath er. In four or five short hours, the Homecoming directorate has planned a program that should prove fit for the eve of a Homecoming 0. A. C.-Ore gon game. In chronological order, there will be the “pajamarino,” the frosh bon fire, the Homecoming rally and the alumni smoker—each event in it self worthy of an entire evening. Parade Starts at 7:00 The “pajamarino,” which this year takes the place of the custo mary Homecoming noise parade, starts at 7:00 o’clock, according to the edict of Ed Therieau, parade chairman, from the “O,” which will be emblazoned on Skinner’s butte by a pyrotechnical display. This display, which will be ac companied by the lighting of torches by the marchers and the flashes of sky-rockets, will be the signal for the starting of the pro cession, which serpentines down the butte to meet the band, the drum corps and the Order of the “O” at the S. P. fountain. Serpentining, the “pajamarino,” pausing only at shows, resturants and hotels, will make its way to Old Kincaid field where the “frosh” bonfire will be lighted. Early this morning, the frosh were still working and the success of the pyre was assured. Rally Program Ready The rally follows the cerfemonies at the bonfire and will be held in the Woman’s building. The rally program was completed yesterday, James Forestel, chair man, announced. Speakers will be Bill Hayward, Bob Mautz, Dick Smith, Charles “Beauty” Robinson and Del Oberteuffer. Yell King Martin will have charge. George Weber’s orchestra, it was announced, will play while several peppy stunts are also included on the program of the rally which, ac cording to Martin, will be positive proof to all “alums” that the old Oregon spirit still lives. The alumni smoker, with seniors of the University as hosts, will fol low the rally. The smoker will be hold in the men’s gym. This fea j ture, an “innovation this year, will j hereafter bo an annual event, it is planned. —Say Hello To Alumni— SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN INFIRMARY NUMBER | That word “Pajamarino!” Soine ' how, it gives Dr. P. N. Miller of ! the dispensary, the shivers. “It suggests undue exposure, and we anticipate quite a crop of sick ones after the week-end.” he said in em phasizing the need of students tak ing better care of themselves dur ing the two or three days of festiv ities now upon us. “Wo probably won’t have any one, or, at most, only a few at the infirmary, Saturday, the number already having decreased to prac tically nono. As long as anyone can hobble about at all, he won’t come near here, for fear that we will order him to bed, but as soon a# the game is over, we’ll probably have a full house,” he went on, as though speaking from past experi ence. Perhaps more care will be taken when the students remember that doctors at the dispensary, as well as anywhere in town, have author ! ity to issue statements that stu dents have been under their care, when ill, and not to excuse them.
