Web foots Go To Portland This Morning; Oregon in Fighting Mqod For Big Grid Battle; Cal. Confident Large Squad Makes Portland Trip Workout on Multnomah Field Slated By .TOE BIGNEY A determined Oregon football team leaves Eugene this morning at S o’clock for Portland where it will play the University of California tomorrow afternoon on t.lie Multno mah Civic Stadium gridiron. The fighting fever of the Web foots had mounted to a high degree at the close of the final practice session last night. The team that trots out to meet the Golden Bears will be at the peak of its spirit, ready to battle against the odds that are slowly massing in favor of the enemy. When the starting whistle blows, the' Californians will find themselves opposing a team in a ferocious mood worthy . of the mightiest Oregon teams of the past. California Confident All the worry and all the doubt is not centered in the Webfoot camp. Word from the Bear lair declares that the mysterious element that shrouds the attack of the Webfoots] is gradually piercing the serenity! of the confident team fresh from its unexpected victory over the power ful St. Mary’s outfit. The style of play unleashed by the OregTmians against the Vandals gave the Cali fornian scout only on inkling of what to prepare for. lie carried the news back to Nibs Price that to expect the impossible was the only way to point for the coming contest. l alirronm s fast. backs were I ready to tear off reams of yardage through the weak Webfoot line, l>ut whim the results of the Idaho fray were made known, they decided that to look for more than an even break would be leaving too much to good luck. The deceptive Oregon back field combination will have more than its hands full in getting past the almost immovable Bear forward wall. Ducks Drill on Passes The big score that was expected in the Idaho game is again predict ed for the tilt tomorrow. Both Ore gon and California base their at tacks on wide-open formations and forward passes. With less . stress placed on the defense than the of fense, the goal line is sure to be crossed several times. Although the Buck passing attack did not prove to be very formidable last week, Coach McEwan is far from dis carding it and adopting a new style. On the contrary, the team has d-illed incessantly all week to perfect a consistent ground gain ing pass, and this department of the game will probably be the chief weapon against the Bears. The Webfoots most reliable pass er, Bobbie Bobinson, will not be in the starting lineup. Although Rob inson was in uniform today for the first time since 1 ist. Saturday, the injury to his wrist has not suffi ciently mended ,o permit his usual speed and shiftiness. Ira Woodio will most likely get the first call at quarter. Woodie has a whole season of varsity competition to his credit, and is developing into a player of considerable ability. As a passer he is very accurate, gets great dis tance to his heaves, and is a capa ble interference runner. Webfcot Line Strong The Oregon line will probably be the same that ’battled the Vandals to a standstill. The sudden im provement in the power of their charge is the talk of the conference. Stadelman at center and Weems and Wood at guards form a defensive foundation hard to break. The first thought after the brilliant, work of Hodgen and McCutchan at tackles was that they had surpassed them selves, but the continuance of their performance throughout the last week of practice gave definite proof of their abilities. * The largest number of players (Continued on page two) Wear 1 r Rooter’s Lids a ame, Is Cry Of'h y Committee A rooter’s o-n every noggin that tops a e 'g neck i% the spe cial Oregon rooting section is the worth[v ambition recommended to every loyal son ami daughter of Oregon by the rally committee. Tlje plan is to enter the Portland stadium in a compact body, with green and yellow headgear attached to the old academic bean, flaunting the glorious colors of our Alma Mqter in the eyes of the Golden Hoar. As the crashing cheers of Oregon, fill the stadium with the re sounding assurance of Oregon’s will to win, let the Oregon colors be everywhere in evidence, i's the re quest of the committee. t The spectators who fill the sta dium will be mostly Oregon people who believe in the ability of Oregon Jo win. They expect a loyal team and with it a loyal fighting root er’s organization, proudly wearing the colors that are Oregon’s, ac cording to the committee. Swimmers Will Vie: Intra-mural Water Polo Is Scheduled Merrnrn Will Have Tour ney in Men's Gymnasium For Championship Gurgles, cries and splashes will soon lie heard issuing from the men’s gym when the two water polo leagues start their -schedules on October 18, at 4 o’clock sharp. When the two leagues, Never Sweat and Phi Bate, finish the sea son, there will be a “Woild’s Serious” match for the intramural championships of water polo. New equipment, including igoal tenders’ caps, scoring flags, and a new polo ball, will be supplied to tho tii' ;i, announces i-lean Uoaeh ivi ward F. Abercrombie. Caps for tlie varsity team have also been re ceived from San Francisco, said Abercrombie, swim mentor. ^Vater polo, which is sometimes rather dangerous, will bo made safe, as varsity swimmers and occasion ally Abercrombie will officiate at. the meet. The match will be run off in big league style. Flags will be waved ns each point is tallied up in the struggle between the op posing mermen. Fast swimming is not the only requisite in water polo, as a player must also have the ability- to “tread water”#and to take a sudden duck ing. Stamina is a big factor in water polo as the game is played in two 10-minute halves. “The managers of those organiza tions who have not yet received the book of rules should see the coach at once,” announced Coach Aber crombie. It is necessary for the players to. know the rules if they expect to play the game. Lack of knowledge concerning the rules has led to accidents in some cases and it is necessary that each man have a working plan of the game to make it safe,, stated Abercrombie. Schedule for the Never Sweats follows: October IS, 4 p. m.—Felts vs. Kappas; Sigma Chi’s vs. Kappa swig’s; Bncherlordon vs. S. A. E.’s; Sigma Xu’s—bye. Phi Bate Schedule follows: Phi Felts vs. A. T. O.'s; Phi Gamma Delta’s vs. Chi Psi’s; Phi ! Kappa Psi’s vs. Friendly hall; Phi : Nig's—bye. Columbus Day Is Made Oregon Legal Holiday (By United Press) Salem, Ore., Oct 12.—Columbus Fay, October 12, was observed as a legal holiday in Oregon for the : first time Wednesday. Until this : time there hail been some douht at to the status of the day as a holiday, but the last legislature clarified the atmosphere by including the day in the list of legal holidays to be observed in Oregon. All state depart ments as well as banks and the courts were closed for the day. The day, however, was not a school holiday and did not interfere with the regular school programs ex cept that a portion of the day was ! set aside in the schools for a short program in ’observance of the mem ory of the discoverer of America, Oregon Poet Gives Meaning Of 'Glamour’ Anthony Euwer Entertains Assembly With Poems, Recollections Creative Instinct Not All Due to Applause Purveyors of Beauty Now Appreciated “The on visioning of nil tho beau tiful and worth-while tilings at tainment might make possible, add ed to the joy of creation,” is tho definition Anthony Euwer, Oregon poet and painter, gave for tho word ‘glamour’ in his cnthusiasSiyally received address before the student body and faculty at yesterday morn ing’s assembly. * “We Who Create,” tlie title of his talk, sounded like a tremendous bit of egotism, Mr. Euwer admitted, but lie explained that the urge to do, like Queen Mali’s chariot, rides on and on in the brains of man, and that the, world is full of creators, from, the totem carvers of the far North to the basket weavers of the 'Southlands. “What would become of tlip crea tive impulse if there were no such thing as an audience reaction, or applause?” Mr. Euwer related that be had asked of a friend of his, and had received the reply that man would go on creating, but would do it subconsciously. The poet said that he answered that lie would set against the audience re action man’s supreme glee in seeing work of his own creation evolving. AntvrApfint.inn ftrfifl.tifvr “Wo who would bo purveyors of beauty are becoming more appre ciated,” said the speaker. “In'in dustry, utility alone will no longer put the thing across.” There are illustrations of -fruit salads and cross-sections of hams that Mr. Euwer would rather see framed on a wall than a lot of the things he has seen in art shop win dows, he declared, to give an ex ample of the fact that there arc artists and illustrators who are put ting their souls -onto paper for magazines and books, where people can get them for 10 and 15 cents, ft is not for the lack of money, therefore, that many people use monstrosities for decoration, but for the lack of the “know how to do.” “Perspectives do get tangled quite in your initial flight,” the speaker asserted, describing his sensations in an airplane halfway between “a crazv-quilt -of gay bouquets” and “that great inverted bowl of blue,” in the poem which was perhaps the most enthusiastically received of those he read; “Hobnobbing With the Firmament” is from his latest book, “By Scarlet Torch and Blade.” Mr. Euwer said that one of the strongest memories he brought back from France, where he was in the entertainment division during the World war, was the love which the French children had for the Ameri can doughboys, and the ’ love the soldiers had for them, and he put that affection into one of his poems. There is humor in the ques tion the “Kiddie of France” asks, "Avez-vous" . . . some chewing gum?” but there is pathos, too. Trophy Presented Other poems Mr. Euwer read were “I’ve Been Elected,” “ Heaps and Heaps,” for both of which his own sun was the inspiration. “Kail wcarv,” and that delightful fan tasy of childhood, where,in “fins will turn to angel’s wings” and the little goldfish will be “happy now forever more by that shining golden shore.” The last named poem, as well as “Kiddie of France” and “Hobnobbing With the Firmament,” was given at the request of some of those who heard them last January. The scholarship trophy, which was given to the campus Panhellenic by ; the Portland alumni of Chi Omega j several years ago, was awarded to I Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority by | Don Beelar, president of the A. S. j F. O. The Kappas topped the grade list for the past three terms. For Mon Only! Get Your Dimes Ready Wednesday Night Tlio season of the year lias again visited tli o campus wlion men, armed with blight and shining 10 eent pieces, visit women’s houses, and after depositing said entrance fees in a little black box or some such substitute for the proverbial hat, they proceed with bated breath toward the lady fair—that dream which has lasted since open house —and ask for the next dance. In other words, the first dime crawl of the year will be sponsored by Women’s league next Wednes day night, October 10, from 0:00 until 7:00 p. m. The league regu larly sponsors a (lime crawl each term, the proceeds from which are made a part of the foreign scholar ship fund, and this year are bring ing Therese Chainberland to the campus. Maizie Richards, chairman of the foreign scholarship committee of the league, wishes that all women’s houses who will not receive in their own homes for the crawl to report to her, so that announcements may be made. French Club Elects Officers and Makes Plans for Season Students who were too near the baby stage to be in France on trench or bandage occupations dar ling the war, will still have a chance ,tp chatter genuine “parley-voo,” 'when the French c- ib holds its first •meeting next Thursday evening at the Gamma Phi House. At five o’clock yesterday, the prospective members assembled in Oregon ITall, sketched a rough pro -gram of the year’s activities, and elected its officers: Florence Hur ley, president, Werdua Isbell, sec vretarv-treasurer, and a prograin 'committee consisting of Rosalie Parker, Katherine Talbot, Margaret Moss, Olive Banks and Charlotte ■Carl. AT me present enroniueiii., organization is made -up of sixty one students, of which perhaps fifty will setjtlo down to permanent membership. The meetings will take place once a month at differ ent sorority houses to which the group is invited, and each session will be conducted entirely in French. It is expected, of course that amicable relations between per fectly good friends will be some what constrained for a time, for lack of self-expression, and some one has even expressed the opinion • that the women will probably lose their minds before long, like certain tropical tribes who have no tongues. Be that, as it may, these linguis tic hopefuls will have to under stand the language of Paris, be cause, with the aid of Dr. Bay P. Bowen, adviser, they plan to bring to the campus presently, Dr. Joseph Bedier, one of the greatest literary men of France, who has edited sev eral books. Among them is a his tory of the origin of legendary epics, a book of research, very val uable to French literature. At, pres ent, Monsieur Bedier is an instruc tor at the University of Cali fornia. Short stories, modern plays, and addresses, all in the proposed lan guage, will make up the literary part of the program from time to time, supplemented by music and the “eats”. Mademoiselle Therese Chambelland, newest honor student, will attend the first meeting and give a short, informal talk on her impressions of America. According to the students who know her, if Therese’s public addresses are half so Colorful us her individual conver sations, her attendance Thursday night ought to be advertisement enough. Orlando Hollis to Be Law Association Head Orlando John Hollis, third year law student, was elected president of the Law School association Thursday morning at 11 o’clock. No other officers were elected, although it was previously announced that there were to be a barber and sec retary-treasurer chosen. The law school faculty announced a smoker to be held soon to welcome the new law students. Golden Bears Entrain Amid Loud Cheers I - Revenge Sought for Defeat At Hands of Oregon Last Year Rain For Saturday, Weather Forecast Wet Field Favorable for Webfoot Team (By United Preps) Berkeley, Onl., Oct. 13.—Hungry for moot nnd stinging from the -1 13 defeat last year, the Holden Bears of the University of Cali ! fornia entrained amid cheers of thousands of rooters at 5 p. m. for Portland where they will meet the Lemon-Yellow and Green chargers of Oregon Saturday at MultnouHih stadium. All during the week the Bear line has been specifically coached against the offense of McKwan's center trio following reports of the solidarity of the Webfoot center structure in the Idaho, game. California ‘ to Use Air Coneli Brice’s men will probably 'use slant plays from punt forma tion for yardage in midfield, relying on Ralph Dougerv to hit the line when yardage is needed badly. Aerial passes will feature, t'.ho j Bear attack with Benny Lorn on I the heaving end unless the northern field is too wet for successful pass ing. Take Slickers (By United Press) Portland, Ore., Oct. 1 Bain will probably be falling hero Sat urday afternoon when the Univer sity of California mfets the Univer sity of Oregon at Multnomah Pield, the United States weather bureau here predicted tonight. “There is some chance for a good ilav,” the forecaster said. “But it is only a chance.” The prediction will probably f change the betting odds of the game. California lias been consid l.ered a “cincli” by the bettors but fat the same time they have been (laying wagers that Oregon will score seven points. A wet field (would favor Oregon. Y. M. and Y. W.

John Seifert of the University school of music will sing. Mr. Davis states that the lunch eon 'will be open to all men and women students and to the faculty.
