> V' Oregon versus O. A. C. Students, Coaches, and Faculty Give Opinions On Today’s Grid Tilt With Orangemen ¥ 4 \ / Hugh Biggs, president or the As sociated Students, “Oregon will win. Why not? We have the team, the coach, and the winning spirit. Ducks were made for rainy weather.” • * • Jack Seabrook, yell king, “There’s nothing to it. Oregon will mop up today. You can’t keep a good duck down. Let’s all get together, and show the boys we are back of them. ” Harry Ellinger, line coach, “Will we win? Can a duck swim? Say, we’ve been praying for a day like this, and we are going to have those big boys in orange crying their eyes out when they board the rat tlers for Marquette tonight. That’s a fact.” * » * Mary Jo Shelly, Phi Beta Kappa, “I certainly hope that Oregon will win, and I feel sure that they will. The boys know that the entire school is backing them, from the lowest freshman to the loftiest senior, and even the grads.” “Skeet” Manerud, former Oregon rstar quarterback, “Certainly Oregon will win. McEwan’s team is every bit as good as the 1919 eleven which gave Harvard such a scare. Golly, I wish I was eligible.” Dick Godfrey, of the Oregon Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Seattle Times, and Heilig Newsy vents, “ Sure we ’ll win—if we get the breaks, and we don’t need so many breaks, either. McEwan will outsmart friend Schissler, and the lemon-yellow will romp in an easy winner. Wait and see if I’m not right.” Sam Wilderman, publicity hound, “Thanks for the chance to break into print. Oh, yes, there’s a game today. Sure. Oregon and O. A. C., isn’t it? Well, you can quote me as saying that one team will most as suredly win. It may be Oregon. It may be the Aggies. It is bound to be one of them, as I am not consid ering a tie score. How’s that? Jack Benefiel stands behind me.” * * * • A1 Sinclair, football captain, “I missed out on the Oregon victory of 1924 when Bob Mautz worked the old dead man trick, and have ndver had the pleasure of walloping the Aggies. This is my lucky day.” Bob Mautz, 1925 captain, “I’ll say that dead man play fooled them, but Cap has some tricks that will make that one seem childish. Those Aggies won’t know whether they’re afoot or on horseback. I’d give my right arm if I could get in there. Will we win? Say!” Prances Bourhill, editor of the Oregana, “If Oregon doesn’t win today, I’ll be a most disappointed young lady on the campus. I have every belief, though, that the sports section of the Oregana will be feat ured with an account of the great Oregon victory over the Beavers. The price is $2.00 down, and $3.00 next May.” # * • Ruth Corey, Seventh Seer, says, “Even a seer can prophesy right at times—with the good ol’ Oregon mist not missing—the team ought to a^d will swim right down the field to the goal and place the ball on land for many scores of sixes and kicks for sevens—come seven.” George Turnbull, professor of journalism, “We Webfooters will win. I don’t know how, and_it doesn’t make any difference how; and I’m not predicting the score.

Rule Violators Given Warning By Committee Faculty Advisory Group Reports Cases as T ransgressions As a warning to possible violators of university regulations, the stu dent advisory committee of the fac ulty has made an announcement of action taken on student transgres sions since last Hay. It is the prac tice of the committee to make an occasional report to ,Jthe student body in order that students may be warned, and may know what types of cases come before the committee and what action is taken by it. Following are the committee’s de cisions: For copying from a neighbor’s paper in a quiz, a student was fined seven hours of University credit. For taking notes to a quiz which, although not used, gave the appear ance of intention to cheat, a stu dent was fined four hours of uni versity credit. For plagiarizing material in writ ing courses, three students were fined four term hours of university credit each. For copying and turning in as original work the paper of another .

Student Dramatic Club of U. H. S. Gives kPeg O’ My Heart’ Well “Peg O’ My Heart,” a three-act comedy by J. Hartley Manners, who wrote it originally for his wife, Laurette Taylor, was present ed at the University high school last evening by the student dramat ic club. The play tells the story of a moth erless little Irish gamine who wins her way into the hearts of a stiff English family. The title role was pleasingly handled by Emmajane Rorer whose personality suggested something of Peg’s character. Dor ris Hardy, as Mrs. Chichester, did an excellent piece of work also. Others performing capably were: Alaric (her son) .Robert Goodall Ethel (her daughter) Sylvia Kerlee Montgomery Hawkes (solicitor) .Coman Smith Christian Brent .Austin Frey Footman (Jarvis) . . Charles Pickabaugh Maid (Bennett) .Alice Carter “Jerry” .Kermit Stevens Fluff and Pal, two local canines, performed their roles beautifully. The work of the youthful actors was directed by Mrs. Edna Assen heimer and Miss Kate Buchanan. Denzil Page was stage manager. Entre acte music was furnished by Miss Estelle Johnston and Mr. Marion Zurcher. Callison, Ex-varsity Star, Coaches Medford Rival of Eugene High The Medford high school foot ball team that defeated Eugene high school’s gridders yesterday owes much of its success to Prince “Prink” Callison, former Oregon star. The score of the- game was 19-0. Prink is coaching the southern Oregon boys and from the type of game they played on Hayward field it was easy to see that he has his charges hustling every minute. The team was well coached and Callison deserves praise for his work. Callison was one of the greatest centers that ever played on an Ore gon team. It was he wrho blocked an Aggie kick in that great game back in 1922 when Oregon beat the Ag gies 10-0. The ball rolled behind the goal lines where Bill Spear fell on it for a touchdown. Prink play I ed on the varsity from 1920 to 1922. An interesting sidelight on the Medford squad is that it has only been defeated once in the last five years. This was back in 1923 when Salem turned the trick. This is quite a record for a prep school and Med ford has never been known to turn down a game with a hard team. In games this year, the boys from the ' pear center have defeated such strong teams as Corvallis, Klamath ■ Falls, Grants Pass, and others. Council Decides Against Asking J Holiday Monday' Rally Committee to Plan Celebration in Case Oregon Wins The administration will not be asked to grant a holiday for Mon day in the event of an Oregon vic tory today as the result of the vote of the student council at a meeting held yesterday afternoon, i Hugh Biggs, president of the A. | S. U. O., issued the following state j inent in explanation of the council’s l action: j ‘‘The decision of the student coun | oil to make no request to the admin - I istration for a holiday Monday in j case of a score in favor of Oregoij I was reached after careful consider j atiou of the facts involved in the j situation. It was believed that a 1 majority of the students on the campus realizing how frequently the \ term’s work has been broken into i does not favor any further inter ruption in the fall schedule. “In view of this belief and also the fact that a more logical time for ! a victory rally is the night Follow i ing the game, the cfluncil instructed the rally committee and the yell [ king to make arrangements at Eu gene for a program that would fit ! tingly celebrate the event if Oregon should emerge victorious. Consider : ation was also given to a permanent motion of the student council pass j ed hi January, 1925, which prohibits | all rallies or celebrations arising out of football contests, or other vic j tories, except evening rallies, - at ; trains on departure of teams, or at (Continued on page three) Students Must Have Tickets to Game Today Every student who is going to the O. A. C. game must exchange his ticket and one dollar for a pass to the game before ten o’clock this morning. General admission will be charged unless student tickets are secured here. They will be available i at the Co-op until ten o ’clock, ac cording to Bob Overstreet, who is I in charge of sales. Seven Webfooters To Play Last Game For Varsity Today Coach McEwan Has Men Primed! to Do or Die in Battle; Tradition of No Defeat by O. A. C. at Corvallis at State By JACK 0’MEA'RA\ Though' defeated in the mud at Pullman last week, the Oregon varsity will line up on Bell field at Corvallis this afternoon at 1:30 with no fears of a similar fate to cool their fighting spirit. Today they face O. A. C., traditional enemy for over a quarter century, and each of the eleven men that Capt. McEwan sends onto the gridiron is keyed up to avenge the defeat of last year and to preserve the tradition of never having heen defeated on Aggie soil. Whether the sun shines or the rain pours, the varsity’s determination to win this annual grid classic will be urn Oiregon Spirit Shown in Rally On Eve of Game Bearer and Drum Trophies Lead Parade; Stunts Pep Up Rooters A furious downpour of rain did not dampen the fire of Oregon root ers who gathered last night at the Sigma Chi corner, and staged a “pep" ratiy, serpentining through the campuB amid.a pandemonium of noise, to the men's gym. Headed by the famous Oregon Drum, the shouting, excited students inarched into the gym, every student in possession of a paper horn. The Oregon band was on hand and lent music to the occasion. When the crowd had assembled the O. A. C. Beaver again made its appearance. Twenty years ago a group of bold students invaded the Corvallis cam pus and purloined this wooden ef figy of the Beaver. Jack Seabrook, yell king, pulled a little “Tommy Tucker” stunt at the beginning of the program. A large pie was brought upon the im provised platform ana cut open. Seabrook tlion proceeded to stick in his thumb and pull out little Beavers which he threw to the howl ing crowd. Assisted by yell duke, Bobbie Warner, Yell King Seabrook led tho frenzied crowd in a number of deafening yells. In tho short space of a few minutes the men’s gym resembled a .boiler factory working two shifts at the samo time. Mautz Speaks Robert Mautz, captain of the 1925 varsity and present end coach, was the first speaker on the pro gram. The crowd was very recep tive and broke into loud cheers. Mautz started out with a joke and then got down to serious business. “Oregon lias been thought of for the past two or three years as a los ing team. Tomorrow there will be a different story. I don’t know how the game will turn out but I’m go ing home tonight hoping for tomor row. Everything is up to the men that start the contest. Please pray for them and hope that Oregon may be victorious,” said the ex-Oregon captain as he pleaded with the aud ience. Buz Williams, a member of the famous 1919 team that played Har vard 7 to 6, spoke from the old timer’s point of view. “Everybody lias seen the dope that we have good chances to win. That’s nice stuff but we’ll not get to first base with that cockiness. Talk about the O. A. C. team as being no good. They’re losing nine men this year and you can bet your life those nine are going to fight to the last ditch to beat Oregon. Oregon men are playing for the lov^ of Oregon (Continued on page three) umragea'.. lrne- men are “hopped up” to a mad pitch to tear through the Orange and Blaek lines till the hall rests ueiund the Aggies' final chalk mark. The defea sive struggle against the Coqg , ars last Saturday l gave the playera confidence suffici ent to hold a loco motive for downs, and with Wetzel to shoot passes 'and Jones ham» McEwan menng the lime, the Lemon-Yellow team will hate a double-barrelled offensive. “Fight,” Says McEwan “It will be a fighting Oregon elev en,” said Captain John J. McKwan, head coach, “fighting against odds, but fighting all the harder because of those odds.” O. A. C. is conceded the best chance of winning as their season has been marrod by only one defeat, but it is the opinion of football authorities that “dope” on this battle is never reliable, and neither team has the game won until the gun pops. Two years ago the^Aggies led 3 to 0 until late in the third quarter when Mautz grabbed a long pass on a “dead man” play, com pletely fooling the Corvallis team, and made the winning touchdown. Last Game for Seven Seven Oregon men don their uni forms for the last time today and they will give all their strength and knowledge of football to mark up another defeat for O. A. C. Those who are playing for the last time are: Albert Sinclair, captain; Lynn .Tones, George Mimnaugh, Sherman [ Smith, Bert Kerns, Otto Vitus, and I Carl Johnson. Oregon players who will be in the i starting lineup are: Pope and Slau son, ends; Sinclair and Dixon, tackles; Hodgen and Kerns, guards; Carter, center; Hagen, quarter; Wet ( zel and Burnell, halves; and Jones, full. Against them on the O. A. C. team will be: Ward and Bobbins, ends; Dixon and Dickerson, tackles; Liebe and Eilers, guards; Balcom, j center; Edwards, quarter; Jarvis [ and Maple, halves, and Schulmerifh, I full. Since the early season game with | Washington, the Webfooters have I exhibited an offensive that has never j failed to score with the exception of the W. S. C. game. But until the j game with the Cougars, they lacked | a well-cemented defense. In that I fray, the Webfooters withstood a. continuous pounding and time and again held the Staters for downs \ 'vhen only a few inches more would have meant a touchdown. Breaks Big Factor While the varsity is in no manner over confident about today’s game, j they are, however, certain of tha (Continued on page two) a
