"When the two football elevens ot
Oregon and California line up to
meet each other tomorrow on the
Multnomah club field, it will math
the 11th grid conflict between the
two institutions. Football history
between the two universities has
been more or less spasmodic.
Twenty-eight years ago in the fall
of 1899 teams bearing the colors of
the Lemon-yellow and the Blue and
Gold met for the first time. The
Golden Bears nosed out a 12 to 0
victory on their Berkeley field. It
w.13 .this year that Dick Smith was
captain and fullback of the Oregon
team. «
Since the first, contest, Oregon
has succeeded in winning foui
games and tying one. The Bears
have piled up 116 points to the
Webfoots’ 103. Two California vic
tories, however, were won only by
very scant margins. ,
* * *
Oregon’s first victory came in
1900 when a meager two points gave
the Lemon and Yellow a win. The
year 1905 saw both teams battle to
a scorelels tie. It) was after this
hectic struggle that football rela
tions between the two schools stop
ped until 1916. During this period
the southern institution was play
ing Rugby football. The 1916 tilt
was won by Hugo Bezdek’s champ
ionship aggregation by a score of
39 to 14.
* * *
The Oregonian’s most decisive
defeat at the hands of the Cali
fornians came year-before-last in
Portland when the late Andy
Smith’s team romped all over the
Webfoots, 28 to 0. Oregon retali
ated with a 21 to. 13 victory on the
Berkeley field last year.
* * * #
J he largest number of Oregon
football players ever to travel un
der the direction of one coaching
sti^f, 61 i;- number, left this morn
ing for Portland. It can be easily
seen that Coach John J. McEwan iS
taking no chances of running short
of substitutes. Reports from the of
ficials ’ camp have it that Robinson
■will start the Bear fracas. Robin
son cracked a bone in his left wrist
during the Idaho game and has
been out of a practice suit until last
night. Williams’ injured hip has
responded rapidly to treatment and
this colored boy, considered one of
the greatest defensive players on
the team, will be in the Lemon-yel
low starting line-up.
» * »
Multnomah field, which until the
recent sunshiny weather has been
quite wet and soggy, will see both
Oregon and California teams in ac
tion today. The Webfoots w'ill take
a light workout about two o’clock
while “Nibs” Price will give the
Bears a limbering up later in the
afternoon.
Presto! Punch and
Wafers Disappear
The speed-ball classes of the Uni
versity were not the only thirsty
creatures wandering about the cam
pus on Wednesday afternoon. In
spite of appetites whetted by an
hour of intense practice, they were
run close competition by the fresh
men and other women who collected
at the Women’s league tea, between
the hours of 4 and 5 «’clock.
Thus it happened that the punch
and waffers destined to hold out
and quench the thirst of many
women until '6 o’clock had myster
iously disappeared by 5.

Rally Friends With
Voice Amplifiers
At all big games Oregon rooters
must have their megaphones because
invariably the occasion arises iwher
the lung capacity with whict
nature has endowed them proves in
adequate to the needs of the mom
ent. It may be a lemon yellow play
er tears a hundred yards or so for
a touchdown or it may be something
else. At any rate neighbors on the
bleachers are always so inconsider
ate as t.o drown out all your well
meant expression of appreciation,
lienee the advent of the megaphone,
Tn the past it has been customary
to shuffle the pasteboard amplifiers
out just before the game.
This yopr there will be a departure
from this custom inasmuch as sen
many students plan on attending the
rally and th “follies” show at the
Broadway theatre in Portland. Hum
ors are rampant that the show will
be so fervid that justice cannot be
imparted to the participants solely
by the accepted form of sedate hand
clapping.
Hence to avert this tragical sit
uation it has been decided to fur
pish the voice purveyors to stud
ents tonight at the Broadway theatre
in Portland and they can then be
held over for the game tomorrow,
The megaphones are especially made
and include an assortment of “du
"elads” and “'whatnots” by which
they' may be fastened to the cloth
ing when not in. use. The innovation
is new. David Epps, the Swing and
Swat man from Oregon, will be in
charge of the megaphone sale and
will have his cohorts stationed in
and about the entrance of the thea
tre. Incidently there will be a 25
cent charge attached to each. Some
thing new and different is the prom
ise of Mr. Epps and his sales force.
How to Defend One’s
Lady Fair Taught
In Men’s Gym Class
All young bloods who would pos
sess the ability to defend tjheir
fair ladies from insulting aliens
and heart-breaking seniors should
take advantage of the course in
fencing offered by the school of
physical education. A graduate
from this course could skillfully use
his walking cane, umbrella, or what
not to ward qff all mad dogs, black
eats and other dangerous animals
encountered in any pleasant saunter
about the streets of the city.
Fencing, when practiced with a
reasonable degree of skill, is one of
1 the most fascinating forms of ex
ercise. The classes in the men’s
gymnasium are under the direction
of Mr. Durkoop, and offer an excel
lent form of recreation'for both the
P. A. men and the members of the
regular classes. There are only
about, fifteen men in the class at the
present time, two or three of which
are accomplished wielders of the
foils. More men are wanted in the
class, and there is the additional
inducement offered of a trip to Port
land for a picked team which will
engage the rapier artists from some
city club, probably the Multnomah
Athletic Club. This can only' be
accomplished, however, if there is
a fairly large turnout this fall. The
classes are held in the men’s gym
nasium and anyone interested can
get further information in the of
fice, on the second floor.

To Compete in Meet
Outstanding Performers to
Get Big Chance
That over-present Question of
vital importance to Oregon students
concerning the relative greatness
and power of the respective classes
will, iij some measure at least, be
settled in the inter-class relay meet
which is to be held on Hayward
field, Saturday, November 5, Agi
tation for an inter-class relay meet
began with the advent of fall track
practice and resulted last week in
the appointment of a committee to
make the necessary arrangements.
Mr. Hayward was chosen as advisor
and the following men were selected
by the presidents of their respective
classes: Ed Crowley, senior; Ralph
McCulloek, junior; Dick Horn,
sophomore, and Tyrrell Lowry,
freshman.
Committee Chosen
After a discussion of the best
manner in which to successfully
handle this contest, this committee
appointed another committee of
managers, consisting 'of a manager
and four assistants, whose duty will
be to arouse interest in the races
and secure as large a turnout from
each class as possible. Carroll Wil
liams, varsity track manager, was
chosen as a. head of this group. His
four assistants are: Laverne Pear
son; senior; Lloyd McGee, junior;
Walter Brown, sophomore, and
Clarence Barton, freshman.
In the actual meet each class will
be represented by 16 men, chosen
from those who turn out. In order
to give- the upper-classmen, who
have a large number of lettering, a
fair chance to use their best ma
terial, the relays will be open to
varsity and frosh lcttermen. There
^will be four different relays, each
man on the four-man teams running
the distances given. There are the
2:20, 4:40, 8:80 and the mile. There
is a wealth 'of good material in the
school, and with the proper support
from the students, the Fall Relay
Carnival should be one of the most
successful ever held at Oregon.
•There is a tentative plan under con
sideration by the general committee,
to award large numerals to the
members of the winning team. These
numerals would bo of a different
pattern than the regulation frosh
numeral, probably a large “30” in
stead of a “1930,” as the usual
babes’ numerals are.
Men to Be Entered
All men who make a good showing
in this inter-class meet will be en
tered in the cross-country race with
O. A. C. during home-coming week
this fall. Anyone who 'wishes to
come out and do battle for the glory
of his class and a chance to run
against O. A. C. should see either

Form Interference
By Jack O’Meara
BERKELEY', Cal., Oct, 12.—
(Special)—Football fans who gath
ered last Saturday t<> see “Nibs’'
Brice’s Bears in action against Saint
Mary’s saw a new California baek
febl formation for which Brice has
great hopes. It marks the first de
parture from the plays and forma
tions used by Andy Smith, but the
new formation lends itself to a
diversified offense and was designed
to take advantage of the changes
in gridiron rules. It seems especial
ly adapted to the material Price
has oa hand this year.
It. is a. modification of the punt
formation used by the Bears when
Jimmy Dixon was on hand to act
as the triple threater in the punt
er’s position, but lliis new formation
has all of the effectiveness of ttio
old baekfield arrangement with add
ed elements of strength and decep
tion, Brice believes.
Quarterback’s Position Changed
Tiie most important change in,this
formation is in the duties of the
quarterback. Ho .joins in the of
fense as a. ball carrier and passer.
