Webfoots Have 18 Victories Over 1 0. A. C. Beavers Dojte Shows Oregon Now Stronger Grid Team Than Aggies With ttn> state championships won, lost and tied, the University of Oregon grid eleven will face the Oregon Aggies on Hayward field, Homecoming, Friday, November 11, for the 32nd time. Eighteen times have the Lemon-Yellow warriors left the gridiron with victories safely tucked under their arms, six games have resulted in a tie, and the Ore gon Beavers have won seven. Way back in the days when a tandem, flying Wedge and center rush were in style among grid coaches, teams from Oregon and O, A. U. met for the first time, 1894. Coached by a Mr. Kennedy and cap tained by Ralph Terrell the Corvallis team won, 18 to 0. Oregon retaliat [ ed the next year and drubbed the Aggies, 42 to 0. Six Webfoot vic tories and one scoreless tie were re corded before the Aggies won, 4 to 0, in 1907. Another ten-year period of Oregon supremacy came, the Ag gies breaking the long string of vic tories and tie scores in 1917. Since that time the Orangemen have 3 games, the trio of victories coming within the last four years. In all the 31 contests the Webfoots have scored 296 points to J40 for th« Aggies. Today at four o’clock, Hayward field will witness a dress rehearsal of the Oregon rooting stands. Yell king Bobbie Warner and his assis tants, Oregon band and qld and new yells will be there. Everything wi.ll lie gone over. The varsity and fresh men will clash in a hard fought scrimmage. Coach McEwan’s men will rehearse their plays. and tear down the field just as if the fresh men were Aggies. Dipping our fingers into the dope ( bucket we do not pull out a plum or any such delicious fruits but receive a lot of figures. . . . and figures don’t lie. The students, citizens of the state and everyone in general knows that the Oregon team has not played up to the caliber it dis played against the University of Idaho Vandals early in the season. Since the Stanford game a renais sance has occurred among the Web food grid ranks. The team has that fighty, mighty, confident spirit which battled the husky Idahoians to a 0 to 0 tie. Here’s where the figures substan tiate the theory of rejuvenation of Webfoot football warriors’ spirit and .might. Taking for granted that a football team should injprove as the season YY'ears on, last Saturday Charley Erb’s Idaho Vandals battled the powerful St. Mary’s eleven to a 3 to U tie. Earlier in tlie season St. Mary’s defeated “Pop” Warner’s Stanford Cardin als, 16 to 0. Since the St. Mary’s defeat the Red Shirts have defeated O. A. C., 20 to 6, Oregon 10 to 0. The Oregon defeat at Stanford’s hands came when the Warn was down and out in spirit. Thus, yvc now haY7e the neYV Ore gon team, battling as it did against Idaho, and Yvith past scores in its favor, ready Mr tlie O. A. C. eleven. It doesn’t look like the Aggies have a chance, does it ? * * * The prevalence of deadlocks in football conflicts brings coaches and officials to the foreground with sug gestions for changes as the time nears for the meeting of the Rules committee.

In former years this has been done, hut last night’s attack only brings to mind the fact that there will be a big battle on Hayward field on Friday and gives Oregon one more thing to wipe from her scoreboard with a big win over the Aggies,” Don lleCook, said late last night after tho outrage. Co-operation To Be Secured By Campus Y. M. New Friendship Council '' To Promote Contact Among Students The first steps in organizing a student friendship council sponsored by the campus; Y- M. C. A. will be made at a meeting of interested students to beheld at 7 o’clock to night at the; “Y”' hut. Wayne Veateh, anew student chairman on the association' cabinet, will be in charge of the jpoeting. “The purpose that the Y. M. C. A. has in mind in promoting the friend ship council is -to bring about closer co-operation and real friendship among students interested in Chris tian work on > the campus,” said Veatcli yesterdhy in explaining the project. “This is to be accomplished by a definite program of study of Christian principles, open discussion of campus problems, and construc tive criticism o'f the way the ‘ Y ’ is meeting them.’J William Schulze, president of the ‘ Y. M. C. A., says the plan is to in clude-on the friendship council rep resentatives from the various stu ; dent groups and organizations that : go to make up the student body, ! through which the activities of the ; association cabinet can obtain im mediate and widespread contact on the campus. “If. the association is to really ac complish anything here it must have something besides an organization to mhke plans,” Schulze declared. “On the other hand, we have felt the need of some definite body to which those students more especially interested in the program of the as sociation could lend their support.” .Those attending the mee.ting to night will decide on the definite organization of the friendship coun cil, since those pushing the idea feel that no set plan should be forced upon those who wish to join. Former members of the Hi-Y clubs are espe cially invited to take this oppor tunity to get connected pith campus Y. M. C. A." work. Woodie Senses Greater Oregon Spirit; Student Support Helps (By 0. B.) Playing his second year as qunr-1 terback on the Oregon vanity, Ira! Woodie is well on the way toward football fame. His able general-1 ship together with an excellent 1 passing arm make him one of the j most formidable Leman-yellow backs I i'ut iron tne gridiron. Ira comes from Xampa, Ida- / ho, where he play- f" eil four years as ^ pilot of the Xam- t. % pa High school S :| eleven, being cap tain during his | senior season. A star of the di i mond as well as the sawdust, Woodie played the great American wlsl game i or uirre years, and was Ira Woodie elected to captain the nine in his last two years. ‘•The game with the frosh last Saturday showed a marked improve-* meat in the teamwork and in the line,” said Ira. ‘‘The fight and drive that was so needed seemed to be very much in evidence, and I really think that we are going to j smear Corvallis in proper shape j next Friday.” Ira thinks that the j student support is decidedly on the increase since the pep rally, and what is more important, this in crease is noticeable to the players and they intend-to show their back ers that they are the same “Fight ing Oregon” as in the years gone by. Woodie is a junior, majoring in economies, and plans to take up coaching upon completion of the course. He is a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. Weighing only 158 pmyyls* Ira is one of the lighter men on the squad, but this in no way detracts from his effi ciency, and with another year to play for Oregon, he is a valuable prospect. Homecoming Pep Machine Ready To Go Noise Parade Receives Impetus After Three Year Dormancy Beaver to Be Made Sacrifice to Crowd Best Noise Maker to Win Smoking Stand Bv CARL GREGORY On the evening of Thursday No vember 10, in the year of our Lord; ; 1927, noise, crashes, crescendoes, ; cries, howls, wails, roars, groans, and bedlam supreme will break forth in Eugene as an opening feature of the Oregon-Oregon State College game to bo held the next day, No vember 11, on Hayward field. As a preliminary rejuvenation of .the old Oregon Spirit the once fa mous noise parade will again be util ized this year after a three year dor mancy. This fact alone, think many sport followers, will win the game, for as far as recorded facts go there has never been a game lost by Ore gon that has been preceded by the soul-stirring tom-toms produced from the musicale staged by the noise parade contestants. Noise Machine Revived The last year, 192-t, this means of! raising pep was resorted to, students I were so deeply stirred by an uucx- 1 petted victory over the Husky team from Washington that they rolled out of beds in the infirmary, wounds suddenly healed, and all kinds of unexpected tilings happened when a victorious score for Oregon was an nounced. It’s a dynamic force. It's being restored fitter some indecision ovo}' the ability of people to stand the terrific strain, and the last, re verberations from the big rally and noise parade on Thursday night will be making their dying echoes over tli darkening shadows of Hayward field when the Oregon team walks off the gridiron with the hard earned Beaver under their arms. Then, *too, there will be inspira tion, fight, and loyalty resounding from the rhythmic .beat of the stu dents in parade; determination, de sire to win, and untiring line buck ing will appear as a glaring mirage through the leaping flames of the huge Frosh pyre on Skinner’s Butte and the elaborate fireworks will be indicative of spontaneous applause for the players. It will be symbolic of action, and lively action, too. Rally Plans Perfected At. S ji. in. Thursday, the big’ rally, noise machines, and pyrotechnics will start. Don McCook, head of the rally committee, feels confident that everything has been arranged and is ready to perform without a flaw—in other words, a perfect ma chine. The line of procedure will be much the same as usual with the ex ception of added features. A ser pentine will be made down 11th street by- the regular rally group, headed by the band. This includes the student body of the University and everybody else who wish to join. When the downtown Y. M.*C. A. building is reached the big I'Tosli bonfire will be touched off, and the noise machines will make a depar ture from the campus with their weird and powerful intonations go ing full blast, limited only by the physical ability to produce anything louder. When the parade reaches the Ileilig theater the bonfire will be in full blaze and the noise machines will be starting down Willamette. Fire displays will punctuate the action in spontaneous spurts fimm Skinner’s Butte. When the noise machines arrive at the Ileilig and join the regular parade the extreme part of the circuit will have been reached. A short gathering will be held, after which the march will pro ceed to the Armory where the crum bling fragments of a burnt Oregon Spirit will ignite the ozone atmos phere’ into something never before seen. Beaver To Be Sacrificed At the Armory rally talks will be given and as a concluding act arrangements have been made for the complete sacrificial offering of f an O. A. C. Beaver t-o the God oT , Noise. It is thought the animal will he thoroughly consumed. After this! everybody will Ik- tuned and resined for tly game—next day. The incentive for the best noise machine is a prize of a peculiar but appreciable nature. It is a smoking stand given through the courtesy of Wcatherby-Powcrs, and the Apple gate Furniture company, and will be on display at the Co-op today. * Snapshots Depicting Campus Life Needed For Oregano Section Students who have long felt the urge for self expression may find an outlet for their talents in contri buting their phvsiogomies dr other interesting snapshots to the 1028 Oregana for use in the College-year section. All student* are requested to turn in any avajlahle pictures that they may have to Dorothy Baker, section editor by tacking them to the bulletin board in the Journalism building. The photographs to be used in the college-year section may be snap shops representing any phase of college life. The pictures that ex press action and will tell their talc without titles are the most valuable. A unique plan for I this year will tend to raise the section above the status of a family album and .make | it stand out like a N’orth Atlantic ocean iceberg in the swimming tank of the Woman’s building. All pic tures should be properly tagged so that they may be returned in case they are not used. Plans Laid For Frosli Bonfire At Class Meet Work oil Fiery ‘O’ Starts Wednesday Nbon, Says Jesse Douglass Final arrangemenjs for the big Homecoming bonfire hvere made last night at the frosli meeting in the Woman’s building. Work will be gin Wednesday noon for all those who have no classes, for everyone and Thursday for all frosli onstruction of s bonfire will flames and '. O. president, Wednesday night, there is a big hoi id so they can work. According to Jessil Douglous, who has charge of the the ‘‘O,” this year outdo last year’s b’ flames. Don Beelar, A. S. reminded the frosh of .the agree ment between the student bodies of O. A. C. and U. of (). and asked the frosh to stay away from the Cor vallis campus as we expect them to stay away by the agreement and not .molest us. The frosh women are going to serve the men who are guarding the “O,” the seal, at 11:45. They prom ise a good feed and lots of fun. Charles Laird, class' president urges every frosh to turn out and help build the best “O” that could possibly be built, lie also appointed a committee consisting of Francis Hill, chairman and Gordon Hamil ton and Paul Braniu to investigate giving the frosh football men num erals this year. Dean Ulmer L. Siiirrcll says “The freshman class will be judged in the University by the success they make of this bonfire.” He also urged that the expense be kept down as much as possible and wished the class all the luck possible in making a great success of the flaming “()”. Practise of Features For O. A. C. Game To Be Held at 4 P. M. Today at 4 p. m. on Hayward field there will be a direct rehearsal of features, songs and yells designed for the Oregon-Oregon State College annual game on Friday, November 11. The rally practise will be given impetus bv the freshmen and var sity scrimmage. The yell leaders, varsity men, and students possessed with the Oregon spirit urge a conscientious turnout. Last Thursday, at the season's I largest assembly, the student body I gave a hearty promise to be at the practise. Bob Warner asks, as a matter of co-operation and proper attitude, that the houses use some influence to persuade a 100 per ceitt attendance. This will be the last gathering on the gridiron before the regular game. I The new Oregon song will be prac- | tised, yells, features, and stunts will be rehearsed just as if there was a 1 battle in procession between the two traditional colleges. The band will be ' out. The martial atmosphere ! should Dervade the air so strongly that the casual observer would be convinced that a regular game was on. i Last Chance Today For Panorama Picture Today at 1.o’clock is last chance for students to buy panorama pic tures of the student body. For those who are in the picture twice J the price will not be doubled, just , the one dollar-fiftv.

All three are determined to win. Lieutenants Determined In this determination each is up held by his first-lieutenant. Phil Livesley, John Cusick, and Joe M.c Kcown, the lieutenants, will also be there ready to impart the final fight to their teams. Rudd McGann, of the Beaver Kn graving Company, the concern which is handing the Oregana work this year, will be down from Portland to speak briefly about the book. Mr. McCann edited the University of California annual last year, which was judged the best college year book in-the United States. Booths Open Tomorrow Booths will not be opened until Wednesday morning. This arrange ment was made so that each repre sentative would have the first chance at selling his living organiza tion th.is afternoon. Members of the teams will take turns selling from the booths, and the subscrip tions obtained then will count to ward the total number of the team. Thursday, <> o’clock, has been set as the last hour of the drive. Checks will be accepted post-dated until December 1.

W. Bungalow. The hour is to be one of relaxation and quiet for Oregon women, a rpst from the hurry \ scurry of classes. The Vesper chorus of 20 voices, ' which has been training under the j direction of Glenna Heacock for the ; past three weeks, will furnish most of the music. Helen Webster, Y. W. cabinet member, is in charge of the weekly five o’clocks. “This is something never before tried on the campus,” : she said. “We want every girl to feel that she is welcome to attend.” I Buy Your Tickets to Avoid the Jam at the Journalism Jamboree Cot your ticket for tlio Jamboree? That’s the journalism department speaking through its usual medium —printer’s ink. “Saturday night's masquerade is no-date and you ran got your 50o tickets at the Co-op. See ya there!” That, clients, is the last work of Art Schoeni, chairman of the “Jam,” who says lie is glad of the opportunity to get in the last word, “The Frosh journalism majors seem bashful about getting their free tickets at Dean Allen’s office. 1 can't understand it,” hi' goes on further to say. However, comma, the wise campus birds are lining up their costumes for the week-end and will be all ready to celebrate Oregon’s victory over Oregon State, if any. Masks will be sold at the door of the men’s gym, the scene picked for the orgy. Ken Rodgers and his five-piece noise will play the neces sary music. . . . and features toot you just wait! University Men Beat Hawaiians In Second Meet Pan-American Union Head Entertains Debaters In Honolulu Tlio Oregon nround-the-world <1 <■ haters, Benoit MeCroskcy, Walter Hempstead Mud Averv Thompson, met the University of Hawaii in a return meet on October 2d and turned the audience to a decision in fa\%r of their negative argument on “Should the United States grant in dependence to the I'li ili inline Is lands?” In their first meet with the Hawaii University on October 21,' the Oregon boys lost by a 176 to 286 audience vote, on the question of extra-territorialitv privileges in China, Audiences at the debates in Hono lulu were made up largely of Japan ese, Chinese, Filipinos. Portuguese, Hawaiian*, Spanish, and very few native American's. Turnouts were not large, some 600 attending the first meet, only -Id!) of whom cast a vote. The Oregon debaters report a splendid welcome from the Ha waiian people. They also found and became acquainted with numerous Americans who-helped them to have an enjoyable time on the island. They report that they “dinnered” and “banqueted” continuously, making,odd speeches to high school assemblies and town clubs. While in Honolulu the three men were guests of Alexander Hume Ford, head of the Pan-Pacific union. Mr. Ford gave them the use of the Ban-Pacific institute, his down town club house, and to further protide sufficient conveniences, placed a car at their disposal. Daily swims were taken in the warm beach waters. Such sport as surf-board riding was indulged" in until membership in the “Outriggers’ club,” an aquatic or ganization ou Waikiki bench, was given the world tourists. On October 28 the Oregon team left Honolulu for Yokohama, Japan. There they will meet the University of Yokohama on November U! on the question, “Resolved, That for eign powers immediately relinquish extra - territoriality privileges in China.” Oregon Team Hungry For Beaver Meat Webfoots Eagerly Await Big Aggie Contest On Friday '1 - si Homecoming Crowd To Sec Bitter Fight O. A. C. Favored to Win; Docks Outweighed Whon the battling Beavers whirl into Kugeno next Friday, they wilt find a fifiliti 11 ”• Oregon team ready _T„to split thorn as stinder. The Web i footers h a v o ex I porienced a period t, of the hardest sort s; of foot hall trnin :■ ing since the Stan ford fray, and are on the edge to conto jiiii through with their first confereneo ..S victor v of the 'season. Oregon is confi ili'iit. It lias gtun Chuck Williams oil more spirit a ml determination wi111 every reversal, and is now preparing to turn an ap parently disasterous season into a success. A win over the Aggies is the acme of football perfection as far as the Oregonians are concerned at present. The agricultural school is bent on turning back the emerald tide for the third successive time in a. like number of years, and advance pre dictions point towards the realiza tion of this hope. Schissler’s men have been doped to trample the Webfoots on more than one occas ion, and have often been disap pointed. No odds are too great for an Oregon team to overcome partic ularly when the opponent hails from ('orvallis. Spirit Aroused j Coach John J. McEwan has in jected more fire into his men re cently than has been shown the en tire season. McEwan saw the Ag gies in action against the Cardinals in Portland, and, without under-rat ing the strength of the O. A. 0. eleven, declares that the Webfoots style of attack will give the Beavers as much to worry about as did the deceptive Stanford backs. The Webfooters are tapering off the long practice grind with a series of light fast workouts. Physically the team is in the best shape since the first of the season. Howard Handley, end, is the only regular out of the lineup. The in jury to his ankle received in the California game lias not sufficiently improved to warrant active practice. Ted Pope and Frank Riggs have been alternating at left end with Wetzel on right. Slauson and Orcor have been coming through in great style during the last couple of weeks and are almost certain to see action against the Beavers. Pope displayed flashes of brilliance in the freshman contest last Saturday. On two oc casions he snared passed and skipped through a broken field for long gains, one which was good for a touchdown. Backs Have Speed The Webfoot backfiold combina tion will be ii quartet of speed and driving power.

B. Undoubtedly one of the cleverest, shiftiest bucks on the coast will play for Oregon in the crueiel con test next Friday, J' mumuni s,,. ill the person of Bobby Robinson, the Lemon-Yellow •tar, and a brok en-field runner of the highest cali ber. The doctors have approved of the condition of his arm, which wits fractured in the first game of \ 4 the season, anil it is possible that he /w' .. j may even be able Bob Robinson to play without the use of the pro tective east. Hob Robinson in the! game means that Oregon is liable to score at any time, and from any po sition on the field, for this speedy gentleman is so elusive, that once he gets a good start through the op ponents’ first line of defense, he is seldom stopped short of a touch down. in speaking of the confidence of victory hold )>y tho team, Bob said, “This is not a matterof over-ednfi donee, and wo are not under-rating the Aggies at all, it is just a matter of determination to win that every member of the outfit is going to carry with him on that field, and we won’t be stopped.” Robinson is a sophomore, playing his first year on the varsity as quar ter, the same position which he play ed for three years on ^lie team of Jefferson high school in Portland. In addition to his pigskin activities, Bobby played basketball for two years, baseball for three, and was on tlie cinder aggregation for two terms. In his senior year he was high point man in the Portland high school track and field meet. He was coached in high school by H. W. Quigley ami later Martin V. Nelson, both of whom were former Oregon athletes. Robinson is taking pre medics, and intends to be an M. D. With two shining years ahead of him, Bob Robinson will undoubtedly make himself one of the greatest of Oregon’s gridiron heroes.
