Pajama Clad Rooters Open
Homecoming Festivities
With Noisy Celebration
By Arthur Priaulx
A flare of lights on Skinner’s
butte, a burst of brilliant-colored
fireworks that spread over the city
of Eugene like a thousand rainbows,
the sudden outburst of flames, and
the spectacular, awe - inspiring,
torchlight procession of pajama
clad Oregon men had Started down
the long path from the blazing “O”
on the summit of Skinner’s butte.
Twenty thousand people crowded
the sidewalks and streets along
which this gigantic, red-colored,
serpent-like line of men headed by
the Order of “O” men marched.
Sky Rockets Used
Twenty-thousand; hearts beat a
little faster as the long red line
slipped down the hill, the heart
beats increased as the red flares
drew nearer, each time a colored
sky rocket was sent heavenward or
a piece was started by the paja
marino band tho spirit in the hearts
of that crowd increased. The ser
pent continued its crawl on through
town out east and finally arrived
at the campus, pulses quickened, a
ripple of tense excitement ran
around the huge assemblage like
a prairie fire.
Then as if touched off by the
head of the red serpent as the hugh
torch procession swung on to Kin
caid field a mighty roar was heard
as if a hundred gun salute had been
fired and torches held in readiness
were applied to the corners of the
shapeless pile of material forming
tho Homecoming bonfire.
The climax was fitting. Almost
immediately a mass of flames in
terspersed with green flares shot
skyward. As the fire gathered vol
ume and spread out to tho corners
of the huge bonfire, so did tho Ore
gon spirit, which had been foment
ing and rumbling, come to the sur
face and spread like mad through
out tho crowd of twenty thousand
people.
Oregon Spirit At Height
Oregon spirit came back last
night with the first small flare on
Skinner’s butte.
Pronounced by many grads, who
havo seen every one of our thirteen
Homecomings, to be the most effec
tive and the most spectacular pa
rade they have ever seen, the pa
jamarino will take its place in Ore
gon traditions.
Packed to the coiling, floor,
walls and rafters crowded with
frenzied Oregon men and women
shouting and singing, was the spec
tacle presented at the Woman’s
building after the last embers of
tho huge fire had died out. Ore
gon spirit had not gone out how
ever with the fire but seemed to
take on now life as the program
of rally and pep stunts, speeches
and yells progressed.
Oregon men and women, Oregon
grads and alumni experienced a new
sensation last night when that old
time pop and spirit was born again
in their hearts. They are going
out to Hayward field today with
that spirit uppermost in their
minds, they will back their team—
Oregon's team to the limit.
Oregon spirit has returned—big
gor, stronger and more enveloping
than ever.

Season’s Best Battle
(Continued from page one)
gon tealms through many battles.
Shields Is Out
The line is composed of heavy, ex
perienced men. Harry Leavitt, a
powerful fullback of last year, will
take the guard berth vacated by a
recent injury to Gene Shields, while
Kert Kerns, a tackle, holds down
the other guard.
A1 Sinclair and Homer Dixon at
tackle are both big powerful men.
Dixon weighs over 200 and Sinclair
tips the scales around 180.
Captain Bob Mautz and d3herm
Smith handle the wings and the de
fense of the team will depend a lot
on them, for the Aggies will prob
ably unleash their strong passing
attack. Both men have improved
wonderfully this season.

job. Lijaftt but a sure passer and!
a sturdy defensive player, he is a
mainstay on the line.
Coach Paul Schissler will send his
best backfield into the fray. Wes
Schulermich, 199 pound halfback,
the triple threat man with an edu
cated toe, Web Edwards, slippery
quarterback, who has proven to be
a wonderful broken field runner,
Paul Snider, 185 pound fullback,
two year veteran, Red Denman,
completed the backfield.
In the line lies the weight of
the team. Big Jim Dixon, 210
pound tackle is on the left side of
the line and Lewis Dickerson, 200
pounder, on the other side. Elody
Balcom is the 185 pound center.
The guards, Rickert and Olmstead
are comparatively light. Johnny
Logan and Dallas Ward on the
wings are exceptionally light, but
they make up for it in speed.

ANN DARLING:
, Homecoming! Everyone is get
ting ready for it. The great
event of the term! And you
can never imagine who I have a
i date with for the upperclass
dance. Well, it’s the campus
cherub, Walter Malcolm. And I
had to get a new compact—
Woodworth’s Karess powder in
j a blue enamel case to go with
i my blue dress I am wearing,
i The Red Cross Drug Store where
! I got it has a marvelous display
i of Woodworth’s articles.
1 And the big yellow chrysanthe
! mums! A whole dozen came this
I morning from Raup’s Florist
j Shop just for me. One really
I gets quite a thrill around this
: place when a man sends flowers.
{ But of course tradition seems to
J hold forth in the sending of yel
j low chrysanthemums to wear to
j the game.
Back to back Oregon! And
all ready to do it with my slick
new haircut. The Co-ed Barber
Shop, next door to the Co-op, is
the place where I got it, because
it is so quick to run down there
between classes, and they always
cut everyone’s hair in the best
possible way. Those barbers cer
tainly know their business, and
they work unusually fast, too.
Hasting’s Sisters do give the
best water waves, and Tippie
says the same for marcels. Must
be true, then, if we claim it our
selves, because we have had good
T. L.’s on them. Have made an
appointment for you with them
for Saturday morning.
j Bought the dearest velvet hat
in wood brown at the Style Shop
yesterday. They are having a
special November clearance sale,
with all the hats reduced, and
most of them at half-price. I
did need the hat for Homecom
ing, with my man coming from
Portland. Prances is going to
buy a small felt tomorrow, be
cause in all this rain, we certain
ly need them; and the style
Shop has some that are so
jaunty—just like Frances.
You remember my new winter
coat with the gray squirrel col
lar? Well, I have planted a bou
quet of dark blue violets on the
collar, and the effect is quite
stunning. I bought the violets
at Wetherbee-Densmore’s, next
to the McDonald. They have
beautiful corsages also, and
single flowers, besides loads of
other things.
Of course we want everything
to be the best for our Homeeom
gueota, HO I
we are getting j
an extra sup- j
ply of meat at I
The Palace J
Market, on j
\ T hirteenth, J
close to the 1
campus. Everyone compliments
us so much on our good mpats,
which we always buy there. Beth
bought some cold boiled ham
and horseradish from them last
week, and maybe it wasn’t
good!!
I have been doing a little
Christmas shopping while my
money lasts, and I did get the
cleverest brass fruit bowl set in
a black teak wood stand at the
Little Shop Around the Comer
fropi the McDonald. I don’t
know who toQ give it to, but it
certainly should be received
gracefully by anyone.
Underwood 4t Elliott are pra
I paring a feed for us in their
kitchen, which they run in con
nection with the store. They
will cook anything you jorder
just the way you want it, from
delicious pies and cakes, salads.
and meat, to hot coffee—We’re
not worrying any more about
having the right thing for our
big Homecoming feed, although
we’ve no time to work on it
ourselves Saturday. Waiting
anxiously to see you at the game.

CAEOL
