Rah!Rah!Rah!j 4 Rally Tonight’ At Six Sliarj Talks, Music, Yells, Coi hined With Spirit Will Feature Parade W ill Finish In Time for Dance Ripe Attendance Urged by Committee Lot’s go! Got started now if you arc going to bo in the Big Ini tial Rally tonight! The time is (1:00 p. Tii., or never. The place is “Sigma Chi corner, nr bust.” The points of interest will be emanations from the band, oratorical exposi tions by Bill Hayward, Coach iVle Ewan, Bob Mautz, Dick Rood, Gone Vidal, and Doan Shirrell. The rally will hold many points of interest this year that should make it a stampeding success. Per haps the most noticeable thing is the tense situation that hovers around Hayward field in connection with the game Saturday with the Vandal steam rollers who will at tempt to leave a flattened impres sion of the Oregon football men on Hayward field! Rumor has it that the Oregon Eleven needs some of the psychological support that is derived from a lively rally such as the rally committee will attempt to give tonight. Everyone Out Urgent implications come from Jack .Tones, head of the rally par ade, Bob Warner, yell king, and Don McCook, head of the rally com mittee, for each and every student to be out prepared to yell, sing, inarch and tear the rafters out of the Armory building. Old style will be the most defin able explanation of the parade. All modernized formality will be left at home. In reference to prop er wearing apparel Jack Jones said, “We want every rooter to wear re versible rooter’s lids. It’s the one that we will use throughout the year and it will be necessary at every parade and rally.” Sigma Clii Corner The rally will gather at the old Sigma Chi corner. There it will be headed by the band and the Order of the “O”. After them will come the students. They will pro ceed down 11th street through Wil lamette and down to the Armory. At the Armory the rafters of the building will begin .to creak under the terrific strain of the rally talks of Hayward, McEwan, Mautz, Reed, Vidal and Dean Shirrell. Bob War ner, yell king, will be master of ceremonies and promises a rousing, unusual rally. Everything will be completed in the Armory by 8:118 p. m. This will allow sufficient time for every body to go to the class dances. “We wish to urge that the houses have early dinners,” said Nancy Peter son, secretary of the rally commit tee, “so that everybody will be able to be at the corner on time.” Rally Recommended Random opinion has it that the rally will fulfill all expectations. Don Beelar, president of the A. S. V. O., said, “Here is the thing all Fresh have been waiting to see,— a real college rally. Everybody out. Let's show them and the Van dals.” Bob. Warner, yell king, said, “Every Oregon rooter who comes to that rally tomorrow night wants to be prepared to work,—That’s all.” Don McCook, head of the rally committee, said, “In view of the fact that this is the first big rally of the year it is very import ant that everyone turns out to in stil the old Oregon Spirit in the football team for the game that is taking place Saturday.” Alpha Kappa Psi Holds Anniversary Meeting At its first meeting of the term, Alplia-Kappa Psi, national profes sional commerce fraternity, decided to sponsor a series of lectures on business topics. The meeting was held Wednesday evening at the Col lege Side Inn, and was in observ ance of the thirty-third anniversary of the fraternity. The purpose of the lectures is to bring representative business men of Oregon to the campu3 to talk on such subjects as finance, marketing, accounting, personnel, production and manufacturing. The first lec ture will be the last of this month. Officers of the fraternity for this year are John F. Lebor, president: Carrol Williams, vice president; Ed Crowley, treasurer, and Lee Brown, secretary. i t lent Traditions ' t Be Enforced by Oregon Knight Group fereafter another organization take its turn at seeing that ■I traditions are enforced. This was given to the Oregon ts by. Donald Beelar, the presi ; dent of the Associated Students, at t lie meeting last, evening at Condon j hall. “Froah, mind vour P’s and Q’s,” is the warning or rather the threat given by the Knights. Traditions are made to be kept., especially by those “Wealin’ o’ the Green.*’ An allowance of funds for visit ing teams and delegations was made. Walter Norblaad was ap pointed usher at future assemblies, and Jim Swindel was made chair man of ushers for the Idaho game, j A publicity committee was also formed of William Barry, and rani Hunt. National Ad Club Plans To Develop Big Organization Student Interest Desired; Milton George Named New Prexy As ,i result of the initial meeting 'of Alpha Delta Sigma, men’s hon j ornry national advertising frater ; nity, which was held at the An chorage yesterday noon, a large ; Advertising club, similar to the one now existing at the University of Washington, may be inaugurated on ; this campus in, the near future. Sam Kinlev, manager of the Ore j gaiia, and Dob Warner, yell king, ; were appointed by Milton George, business manager of the Emerald ; and newly elected president of the ! group, to work out a suitable plan for organization of the new club, i The- plan as it now stands is to establish a club to which all stu dents interested in advertising or promotional work of any kind would be eligible. This organization would i be sponsored and directed by Alpha | Delta Sigma. Those members of I the advertising club who showed ! the most aptitude and proficiency in both advertising and promotional work on the campus would be eli gible for membership in Alpha Delta Sigma. The plan has been very successful at the University of Washington, and has created a good deal of interest, it is stated. As James Manning, former presi dent of the club", did not return to school, MJilton yleorge, business manager of the Emerald and vice president 'of the club, was elected to the office of president. This left a vacancy in the vice-presi dent’s chair. To fill this,^Bob War ner, yell king a’nd an active adver tising student, was elected. Carol Eberhart wa"s elected secretary treasurer to fill the office left va cant because of Joe Neil’s failure to return. The complete roll of officers at present is as follows: Milton George, president; Bob Warner, vice-presi dent; Carol Eberhart, secretary treasurer; W. F. G. Thacher, ad visor. The local chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, designated the W. F. C. Thacher chapter for Professor Thacher who has been advisor of the club since the granting of its charter in 19-4, is one of the most active honoraries on the campus. Last year, at its national conven tion at the University of Missouri, the Oregon chapter was awarded mn engraved plaque for being the most active and highest rating I chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma in the ; United States. This took into con ! sideratfon the activities of the club as a whole, and also the records of each individual member. The Krazy I Kopy Krawl, the, advertising dance | given by Alpha Delta Sigma last ; year, is still remembered by many, j The members are looking forward I to an even better year. At the Pacific Coast Advertising Clubs Association convention in ! Portland last June, the W. F. G. 1 Thacher chapter was the host chap ter for all the members of Alpha Delta> "Sigma on the coast. Practi cally the entire group attended, and all took an active part. Professor Thacher was head of the educational section of the convention. Students Must Present Tickets At Idaho Game Students seeking admission to the Oregon-Idaho game tomorrow will be required to present the tempor ary student-body cards issued at ' the beginning of the year. Those who have lost their cards will be forced to pay general admission, ac cording to Jack W\ Benefiel, gradu ate manager. Class Dances To Be* Given Friday Night Street Car to Transport Seniors to Struggle; At Engeiie Hotel Many New Features Will Be Introduced Campus Wear Is Recohr mencled by Authorities University of Oregon students on Friday night will tr3p the light ! fantastic in classified order for the first time this year. All four i classes have arranged for dances, at various places, and (with various features—but with campus clothes the thing in attire at all of them. Freshmen Exclusive Charles Laird, president of the freshman class, says that their dance is to be limited strictly to members of the class of ’31. A number of vigilantes will be on hand to see that members of the other classes are kept out. As each freshman enters he will be given a card upon which he will place his name and home town. There will be dances between per sons from different towns, and tag dances, so that members of the class will mix and become ac quainted, said Laird. Patrons are Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, Dean and Mrs. Straub, Dean and Mrs. Elmer Shirrell, and Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, matron of the Woman’s building. There will be punch in large quantities for the frosh who be come thirsty. The dance is to be very informal, and will begin at 9 o’clock. , Seniors Ride Free The seniors have put something over on the other classes by pro viding transportation to their, dance. They have chartered a street car 'Which will be waiting at the Sigma Chi corner from 8:45 until 9 p. m. to take all members of the ciass'-of ’28 who are on the campus at that time down town. 'Bill Pnulhommo deserves credit for this idea, and members of the com mittee believe that it will insure a large attendance of seniors at the dance. Dick Gordon, general chairman of the committee, extends, in behalf of the class, a cordial invitation to all members of the class of ’27 and the class of ’26, who are on the campus. Bob Warner, who has charge of the features, says that Kenneth Allen, who is a blues singer of the Gene Austin type, Iwill be intro duced, and is expected to become a favorite who will equal Madge Nor mile, who was first introduced by the members of the present senior class in their sophomore year. Ed Cheney will dance, and there will be another feature .which is re served as -a surprise. The dance, iwhich will be at the Eugene hotel, will begin at about 9 o’clock, and will be very informal, since campus clothes are in order, said D?ck Gordon. Refreshments will be new and dif 1 ferent, according to Edith Barn. ; Patrons for the dance are Mr. and i Mrs. Lon Fuller and Mr. and Mrs. i x. B. Zane. Slim Purcell’s orches ! tra will furnish the music. Lots of Features The juniors 'Will hold forth at Ye Cant]) a Shoppe. Madge Nor i mile, >who is in charge of the fea j tures, promises some very snappy entertainment. Ed Cheney, soft shoe artist, will dance; Fred West and company will play the banjo and sing; Helen Peters will clog, and there will be blues singing by Madge, herself, and Ted O’Hara. Ronald Hubbs, president of the junior class, says “It will be a means of getting hot for the game, and will also be a keen party.” Tag dances and Paul Jones are planned, in order tfiat the crowd will mix, said Bert McElroy, chair man of the committee. The dance will be very informal, it is a no date affair (insofar as upper class (Conlinued on page three) - Journalism Group To Elect At Meet Today Sigma Delta Chi, men’s profes sional journalism fraternity, will hold its first meeting of the year ! today noon at the Anchorage. A vice president will be elected to fill a vacancy caused by the ab sence of Jack Hempstead, varsity debater, who was elected vice presi dent last spring.

Idaho Team Expects Game To Be Crucial Coach Erb’s Men to Leave Today for Contest With Oregon Weight of Regulars Average 191 Pounds Tor ward Passing Attack Feared by Vandals (By United Press) Moscow, Idaho, Oct. (i.—'The Uni versity of Idaho’s football team, 011c of the heaviest squads in the Pa cific coast conference this year, will leave here tomorrow for Eugene, where it will meet the University of Oregon Saturday. Coacli Charlie Erb has been send ing his men through hard practice all week because he .believes that if the team can beat Oregon it will be among the leaders of the conference at the end of the season. Will Watch Passes He has been especially diligent in perfecting a defense against for ward passes. His team, which can average approximately 191 po'unds, is not fast on account of its weight, and the speedy Oregon crew, with a good forward passing attack, will give the Vandals a great deal of worry, it is believed. Idaho Confident Idaho’s most glaring weakness in the practice encounter with Mon tana State last Saturday twns its poor defense against forward passes. Idaho won that game, 19 to 12. Confidence among the mmebers of the varsity that they will be vic torious was noticeable Thursday night, but none of them appeared to be too sure. Special Rates Given Faculty On ‘Old Oregon’ Student Drive Headed by Neil Cliinnock to Get Subscriptions Faculty members will have an opportunity to obtain Old Oregon, the alumni magazine, at a special rate of $1.25 a year, it' they sub scribe before noon Saturday, ac cording to Jeanette Calkins, edi tor. A group of student solicitors, un der Neil Cliinnock, plan to call on each member of the faculty the latter part of the week and get their subscriptions. This offer is not open to alumni on the faculty, as the alumni dues are included in the regular $2.00 price of the maga zine. Karl W. Onthank, executive sec retary of the University, says of this exceptional offer: “I am glad members of the faculty are being given an opportunity to subscribe to 'Old Oregon.’ They should find it of more than ordinary interest not only because it contains news •f many of their former students, but also because it is the only jour nal which provides facilities for systematic discussion of the various progressive movements in the Uni versity.” This year there are to be arti cles by President Hall and by members of the faculty who are es pecially interested in some of these movements, and doubtless, also, dis cussion by others bearing upon them. “I am glad to see 'Old Oregon’ developing from a magazine devot ed exclusively to alumni news notes into a journal of such general serv ice, and believe that the faculty members who subscribe will not only contribute toward strengthen ing ‘Old Oregon’ materially in its function as a general University magazine, but will also get their money’s worth from their subscrip tion,” Mr. Onthank concluded. The magazine also contains a faculty news letter with clever, subtle comments on professors, and faculty news notes. The October number, which will be out this week-end, has a feature article by Julia Burgess, instructor in the English department, giving her im pressions of the Mediterranean. It is called “Ages and Races.” Mexican Rebel Snnles As Firing Squad Shoots (By United Frets) Mexico City, Oct. 6.—With a smile, Oeneral Alfred.

Combine Alumni, Senior Lunches For Homecoming Directorate. Decides on Change Because of Number Increase Tho annual homecoming alumni anil upperclass luncheons will ho changed to a combined alumni and senior banquet this year; the home coming directorate decided at a meeting Thursday. This decision was reached after finding that the increased size of the upper classes would prohibit a get-together such as has been the custom in the past. Tiie two groups will meet in the customary place, the men’s gym nasium. Plans for the dances, rallies, pa rades and other events were out lined by tli o directorate at this meeting and it (was decided that each member turn in an approxi mate estimate of what the events he was supervising (would cost to Fred West, financial chairman. George Hill, general chairman, urged that all sub-committoemrn he appointed before the next meeting of the directorate on October 11. Homecoming, always an event to he looked forward to, especially by the alumni, will he as peppy, as colorful, and as ultra-Oregon as pos sible, the plans submitted at this meeting showed. Altliough it is ex pected that not as large a arumher of alumni members as iwere in at tendance last year will lie present this year because of the attraction the semi-centennial made at tho for mer time, from tho fact that the football game is the traditional O. A. C.-Oregon clash, a goodly number are counted upon. ' Announcement of the nature of these plans will he made in the October 12 Emerald. W. S.

A definite day and time for the examination will not be set until the names of all candi dates aro in. 'J'lio examination will be arranged to fit in with the sched ules and tlio number of candidates. Upper classmen between the ages of 19 and 2d are eligible for selec tion from the University. For the past several years the Rhodes scholar from the stato of Oregon has boch a University of Oregon man. Alfons Korn won the scholarship in 1926.

Everyone is invited Friday evenings from 7:.'{0 to 9 o’clock. Bo vc a student or bo ye not, the one and only tank of the University, excep tion made of the men’s boarded pond, will be awaiting you in the basement of the Women’s building.

Vandal Team Confident of J Grid Victory Heaviness of Idaho vs. Speed of Ducks; Higgs Injured Passes to lie Feature of Oregon Attack Bv JOB I MO X BY Ono more praet ice session re mains for the Welifoots to prepare themselves for the game with Iilaho tomorrow at 2:110. A. week of work particularly noticeable for the ab sence of scrimmage terminated last night as far as acquiring football knowledge is concerned. This after noon’s practice will probably mere ly consist of limbering up exer cises. Oregon's apparent escape from injuries was too good to be true. A strained leg resulting from a mix-up in the Badger game has been keeping Frank Biggs nut of uniform for the past two nights. Jt is doubtful whether he will bo in condition to go in against the Van* dals. Chuck Williams, fullback, is working under tho handicap of a pulled muscle. He is wearing a brace, but it is not. expected that lie will be seriously hindered. Vandals Have Weight Although the Vandals are reputed to be very fast, there is hardly any question as 1o Oregon's superiority in that phase of tho game. The real nature of the tilt will be 0110 of great, speed pitted against groat weight. I11 the past Idaho has been particularly noted for her open and deceptive style of play; but that was in the days of Bub Mathews. Charley Krb lias not discarded tho me!hods of his predecessor entirely, but a general tendency to use power plays with the weight of the team behind them lias been evident. The Wobfoots, under McEwan, are basing their attack on wide open tactics, and the strength of the Oregon defense will be no moro powerful than her offense. Coach McEwan is advancing the theory that a potential attack is the best defense. Oregon Plans Passes Whether the story that tho Van dals are weak on breaking up passes is true or fictitious will probably make no great difference to tho Welifoots. Oregon is pinning her hopes of victory on the aerial route, and a deluge of pigskins is counted on to sweep the invaders off their feet. Many yards of hard fought terri tory have been lost to tho Bucks through penalties. Coach Dick Reed is making sure that the losses from off-side will bo reduced by drilling his linemen to timo their charges "vith the snap of the ball. Speed is being developed in tho guards, for the success of tho Webfoot passes depends upon the ability of tho men in those positions to drop back and protect the thrower. McCutcli .■in and Wood are making an ideal pair to work next to the center. Wood is light for a lineman but ha is fast and wiry which amply sub stitutes for liis lack of weight. Hodgon, Warren, and Dixon make up the avoirdupois on the forward wall, but they fall many pounds short of the heavy Vandals. Oregon Team Not Chosen The backfield combination that will start against Idaho has not been definitely selected. McEwan doesn’t divide his men into distinc tions of halfbacks, quarters, or full backs but gives them the general classification of backfield men with each candidate as apt at one position as another. On tlie two teams that ran through signal drill last night, the backfield of one con sisted of Gould, Robinson, Burnell, and Coleman, and of tho other llat too, Williams, Ala son, and Doles. Tho Vandal team arrived in Eu gene this morning, and will have a brief seerct practice some time to day.
