VOLUME xxvra UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1926 ¥ NUMBER 13 Will Feature Oregon Fight At Big Rally Pajama Parade Will Have Record Number in Line of March Program of Rally Kept in Secrecy Former Grid Heroes to Be In Attendance THE keynote of the Homecom ing rally this year will be the reincarnation of the “Old Ore gon Fight,” and from the time the pajamarino parade leaves the cam pus until the last loyal Oregon stu dent files out of the armory, after the rally assembly, enthusiasm and fight will reign paramount. The general outline of the rally program starts with the formation of a parade of 3000 students at the Sigma Chi corner in pajama attire. The parade will march down to Wil lamette street in torch-light forma tion, with the yell staff leading in Oregon veils. “O” to Be Burned With the student body at Wil lamette street, attention will be focused on Skinner’s butte, where the flaming “O” will be set afire, preceeded by a skyrocket display. The flaming “O” will replace the old freshman bonfire, and it ie ex pected that the blazing “O” will be more symbolistic of Oregon victory than the heretofore frosh bonfire. The rally parade then will march down Willamette street in noisy pro cession under the light of torches to the armory. Bill James, rally chair man, refuses to 4pve out much in formation on the program at the rally, but he promises that the pro gram will instill the thought of vic tory in every student, even to the most doubtful grid fan. Former Warriors to Attend A number of former Oregon grid heroes will be on the stage to urge the varsity on to victory, while the Oregon band, in the new uniforms, will be on hand to play. Accord ing to present plans, the American Begion drum corps will also be at the rally. The rally at the armory will be of a different nature than the one of last year. The committee is enthus iastic over the present plans and pre dicts that the 1926 rally will be one of the outstanding pep-assem blies ever staged at Oregon. The whole rally program will be over fairly early in the evening, and following, there will be an alumni and senior smoker at the men’s gym. For former order of the “O” men, a banquet and attractive program has been arranged for the same evening. University Band to Don Nifty Uniforms Declares Director '“We must have a band that the University will be proud of,” de clared W. L. Ferris, director of the organization yesterday. “We have a wealth of material, and if the students co-operate and lend their efforts, there is no reason we can not have a band unsurpassed in any other college.” At present, there is instrumental i material sufficient for three bands, according to Mr. Ferris. They will be ranked according to ability. The first band will give a student con cert soon, he added, while the third band will be used as a training school for those students who have had little experience in band work. The members of the B. O. T. C. band will wear their regular cadet j uniforms, but those in the Univer sity band will have broadcloth uni forms of special design. “These | will consist of four pieces,” said Mr. Ferris, “«blouse, breeches, Sam ^ Brown belt, and cap. The belt will be of regulation style. The blouse will be of green and in the same ■general pattern as those worn by the American Legion drum corps of Eugene. The cap will be in the Pershing army style with a green crown, yellow band, leather visor and chin strap.” John Barron Chosen Glee Club Accompanist The members of the men’s glee ■club held their first monthly “get together” supper last evening at the Anchorage, for the purpose of discussing the plans of the organiza tion. John Barron has been chosen as accompanist for the club, and on the annual tour will act as piano soloist. “Oter the Top" Drive Of Y. W. C. A. Wins <<4^VYER the top!” is the mot to of the Y. W. C. A. fin ance drive -winch terminates at 5 o ’clock this afternoon. Five living organizations have exceed ed their last year’s quota.

Pep talks will be given by Beatrice Mason, Julia Wilson and Pauline Stewart in various cam pus living organizations today at luncheon. All committee mem bers will make their final report at 5:00 this afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. “Girls, work your hardest, this last report must be a good one,” is the final word of advice given by the chairman. Dr. Ely, Noted Economist, to Lecture Today Students Privileged to Hear Noted Scientist At Eleven Dr. Richard T. Ely, noted econ omist and head of the bureau of farm economics at Northwestern University, will arrive in Eugene early fliis morning from Hood River where he has been attending the Reclamation Congress. Immediately upon Dr. Ely’s arrival he will pro ceed .to” President Hall’s residence where he will be entertained. Dr. Hall and Dr. Ely were former as sociates on the University of Wis consin faculty, Dr. Ely being a pro fessor in the economics department. Dr. Ely’s first appearance will be this morning before Mr. Gilbert’s class in public financing in room 106 Commerce building at eleven o’clock. He will discuss some phases of American land policy and prob lems of reclamation. Students not enrolled in this class are invited to attend. Additional seats will be available. This will be the only op portunity for undergraduate students to hear Dr. Ely during his stay on the campus. rnis evening tne social science club and members of the faculty will hear an address by Dr. Ely on some phase of research. This will be given at 6 p. m. tonight at the Anchorage. Faculty members desir ing to attend should make reserva tions through Ralph Casey, secre tary of the Social Science club. Saturday Dr. Ely will accompany Dr. Warren D. Smith on a trip into the coast range mountains where students in geology will make inves tigations.

Saturday evening Dr. Ely will meet with graduate students at the Anchorage at 7:30 and will again discuss with them the field of re search from the standpoint of the graduate student. “Probably no American econom ist,” says Mr. Gilbert, “has done more to stimulate and direct research in the social sciences than Dr. Rich ard T. Ely, formerly of Wisconsin, but now connected with a research bureau on land economics at North western University. No graduate student can afford to miss the stim ulus of personal contact with one of the best minds in the field of social science.” Dr. Ely has written several texts on subjects dealing with economics, and is considered as an authority on many subjects.

How ever, all are not playing conference games. The biggest game scheduled for this week-end is between the Oregon Agricultural college and the University of California at Berkeley. Yesterday morning Coach Paul J. Schissler and 28 grid warriors, with the cry, “California, here we come,” boarded the Shasta at Albany for Berkeley. So high is the enthusiasm on the Aggie campus that over 250 students and business men are mak ing the trip south. O. A. C. Favored To date the Aggies have made a very impressive showing. The huge Orange and Black machine has scor ed 139 points to its opponents ’ 6. Coach “Nibs” Price’s Golden Bears have done nothing outstanding. In their first game of the season, the Santa Clara outfit fell before a 13 to 6 attack. The Olympic club* proved a set up, 32 to 0, but last Saturday they met defeat at the hands of the St. Mary’s eleven, 26 to 7. In Seattle tomorrow the Washing ton Huskies entertain the Univer sity of Idaho Vandals. Each have won a conference game. The Wash ington State Cougars after a 16 to 7 defeat at the hands of the South ern California Trojans are ready tQ play their first home game against the University of Montana. Cards Have Tilit The Southern California Trojans and Stanford Cardinals are both playing non-conference teams. The Occidental college eleven invades the Los Angeles campus. “Pop” Warner’s red-shirted Cardinals meet the crafty University of Nevada grid machine. Each year this eleven makes a trip to the eoast and throws a big scare into the heart of some football coach. While the rest of the conference teams are in action Coaeh John J. McEwan will be taking advantage of the rest period and put his men through a strenuous practice. By the end of next week each player will be ready to give the Cardinals (Continued on page two) Order of “O” Is Proud Owner of Six Vice-moguls Reinhart Gets High Job As Frosh Paddlers Elect Officers At the first meeting of the Order of the “O” held yesterday, Frank Reinhart, baseball letterman for the past two seasons, was elected presi dent for the ensuing year. Fred West was elected secretary-treasur er. A new idea was started in the way of a vice-president.

Those elected included Beryl Hod gen, football; Roy Okerberg, basket ball; Ed Crowley, track; Bill Baker, baseball; George Mead, tennis; and Donald McCook, swimming.

According to President Reinhart this will give each sport of the campus equal importance. Plans have already been formulat ed for Homecoming.
