Oregon Students Start Beaver Fight; Noisi Parade To Feature In Rally OregonTeam • Is Confident Of Victory Webfooters Are Eager to Meet Beavers At Homeeoming Big Game Tomorrow Will Be Hard Fought Charles Williams Is on Infirmary List By JOE PIGNEY A pugnacious flurry of green-clad Oregon football rvarriors brisked nrmnul Hayward field last night in final preparation for a mighty Homecoming battle with the Ore gon Agricultural -College tomorrow at 1:30. The Webfoots are intent upon a victory, and are in the right mood to realize their hopes. Although last night’s practice session was a light one in comparison with the work outs during the first part of the week, the spirit of tire Oregonians was at the same boisterous and en ergetic -peak with which they will taeklc tlie Aggies in the Armistice Day classic. McEwan Is Confident Coach John J. McEwan is more confident of a victory over the Beavers than he has been before any 1 other conference game of the season. Providing it does not rain tonight, Hayward field will be in the most advantageous condition for the fleet Oregon backs, according to ' Mc Ewan. The Wcbfoot gridiron drains rapidly, and the water leaves the sawdust packed hard and smooth. Charles Williams, backfield man, is the only casualty that is seriously handicapping the strength of the Oregon team. Williams is in the infirmary suffering from an attack of flu. He is one of tire hardest workers on the squad, and it will take a very serious illness to keep this fighter from tearing off a piece of Beaver meat. Mason and Burnell at Halfs George Burnell and Dave Mason will ^probably start the contest at the halfback positions. Burnell’s ability needs very little comment, and if he is “right” the Aggie de fenders will have to be exceedingly alert to stop his wide end sweeps. “Speed” is an accurate pass receiv er and a good interferance runlrer. Mason has improved rapidly since *• the first of the season, and, as he is only a sophomore, much will be expected from him- (raring the next two years. Mason is not an extra ordinary ground gainer, but he ..is" consistent. He is an excellant de (Continued on page three) Ticketles. ill Be ♦ Out'of L At Game, Says k B^nefiel “Once an Agg, * avs an Aggie” with me. Marion McClain, manager •of the student Co-operative store, is very indignant because the Emer 'nld in a story yesterday said that he urged all students to get tickets for the O. S. C. game early. “I did not snv O. S C. They have been Aggies to me for 2d years and still are, and will always be.” Mr. McClain graduated from Oregon 21 years ago. He says that in those days it wasn’t always a “be nice and gentlemanly” policy but that there was much conflict between the two schools. There will be half the Oregon student body outside the folds to morrow when the Oregon yarsitv meets the Beavers on Hayward field, according to the student ticket manager. Today is the last opportunity for an exchange of the student body ticket for a gridiron ducat. The Co-op will be closed .Friday, Armistice day. Jack Bene 'fiel says that no student will be ad mitted unless the exchange has boen made. No charges for the football ticket. Ignaz Friedman To Present First A.S.U.O. Concert Brilliant Polish Pianist Will Appear Tuesday, November 15 ! - Ignaz Friedman, Polish .pianist, | the first artist on the year’s A. S. U. O. series, will appear in concert at the 'Woman’s building Tuesday, November 15, at 8 p. m. Students may gain admission by presenting their student body tickets. Mem bers of the faculty and the general public may purchase tickets at the Co-op, Laraway’s, or the A. S. U. O. office. The program, which will include one of Friedman’s own compositions, follows: Sonata C Minor, Op. 3.Beethoven Twenty-four Variations, and Fugue on a theme of Ilaendel.Brahms Berceuse .1. Chopin Valse C Sharp Minor.Chopin Four Studies .Chopin Soiree dans Grenade.Debussy Second Viennese Dance.Friedman Hark, Hark the Lark. .*.Sehu.be rt-Liszt Magic Fire .Wagner-Brassin Voices of the Spring...... .Strauss-Friedman The Chopin group is of particular interest because Friodman has been acclaimed by leading critics as a master interpretator of this com poser. Even in the Etudes, which (Continued on page three) Co-Eds and Professors Gamble On Beaver Onslaught Outcome; Syring Scientifically Spills Dope It’s the “burning question of the hour”—the outcome of the orange Beaver’s visit to the campus. In fact the hangers-on around the fra i ternity fireplaces have been holding some heated discussions (the co-eds don’t rate right now) and even said co-eds have opened up their savings banks and tossed in their money along with the gamblers. Professors may not have fireplaces or savings banks—but even they have ideas. And here's the dope, gossip or ru 4 mor. Call it what you will and then ask me another. “Tell me. Is there anything in luck. I mean in connection with a game0 like Friday’s?” And Professor Howe of the Eng lish department, executive council, etc., etc., promptly replied. “There is no such thing as luck, strictly speaking. But the team seems in good shape (probably in better shape than the students) and if the students get behind the play ers, they will go through alright.” Bill ifiggerty, P. I. P. editor of this publication, when asked a civil question on the outcome of the game, said, “Betting odds favor Oregon around Eugene. The pre season dope will cut no ice in Fri day’s game. I have a dollar up, myself!” . When asked, ‘‘Does your ‘wo man’s intuition’ throw any light on the fray?”, Nellie Johns, presi dent of W. A. A. and member of the Homecoming directorate frank ly admitted, “Yes! If the first team can play all the way through I think we’ll win. There, is lots of enthusiam— the girls all think we’ll win. At least we’re hoping and praying.” And then, to make it more offi cial, Dick Syring, high chief of all sports writers answered favorably to a similar query, “Oregon is up at the same pitch and fight as before the Idaho game. There was a slump and we lost the California and Stanford games but now the team is confident again and the students are confident. O. S. C. has been playing at the same rate all season, and when Oregon meets them Friday it will be with a fresher and a winning team.” And so that’s that! But more anon.

Two Football Players Infirmary Patients Even the infirmary officials are co-operating with the ol’ Oregon spirit. Charles Williams, sophomore major in business administration, and a back on the varsity eleven, is in the infirmary with a bad cold. Every possible effort is being made, however, so that he will be able to play iir Friday’s game. George Lowe, a member of the freshman football squad, is in tho infirmary with an arm infection, but he will be wall able to play Saturday. Beer and Pretzels Will Be Plentiful At Jamboree Saturday “And a good time was had by nil.” That is a .trite1 phrase that is not allowed in good newspaper <ir Claudia Fletcher l-H'fi mill ill! gOOll jouinalists con derfln it. How ever, that is wliat they will all say next Sunday after t h e Journalism Jamboree — a n d that isn’t half— will other stu dents on the cam pus who are in cited. Qlaudia Fletch er, ij president of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s professional journalism sor ority, states that plans are nearly complete for the event. “’If it is like past ‘jams’ it will he most, picturesque, the livlicst, and the best dance of the year,” she said. Bircli beer and pretzels will be the. refreshments, serpentine tape will be strung, from i‘ear to ear,” and many novel ideas'.in dances, and costumes will featu e the annual frolic of the future : tewspaper men and women. This is the first time that stu dents other than journalists have been invited to the dance. Tickets are selling fast to the annual ball but may still be secured from mem bers of the ‘‘Shack” • crew. Order of the ‘O’ Parade Will Be Friday Feature Annual March Will Start At 1 >13, Just Before Big Game As has been the custom in the past, just before the opening kick off of the big Homecoming football classie, the annual letterman’s pa rade will take place, beginning at gate six on the east side of the field and circling,the gridiron to the section reserved, for the Order of the “O.” The yearly Homecoming parade of all members of the organization, both those active on the campus and the “old grads” of the Order who return, is one of the features of the day’s activities, being an espe cially important event for the let termen. Every member of the Order of the “O” now in school is requested to wear his sweater for the occasion. The line wjll form soon enough to start, circle the field, and get seated in tho special section before the game begins. Men should be on hand by X o ’clock because the game starts at 1:30. . Student body tickets will be re quired of the members. They do not have to be exchanged at the Co-op for the special tickets but Will be accepted at the gate. This ex ception is made only with lettermen. Members of the Order of the “O” who desire to take advantage of the special reserved section must be at Hayward field at the east gate in time to participate in tho march around the gridiron. Alumni lettermen will head the1 procession, the present active men of the order following in the rear. /Every elegible man should take part, for this parade is heralded to be the biggest of its kind that has ever graced the cinders of Hayward track. Juniors, Sophomores Win Speetlball Games A slushy field, a slippery ball— the only thing lacking yesterday aft ernoon when the girls pdayed speed ball was a drizzly raiu. The juniors walloped the seniors, 15 to 3, in a fast game. The freshmen were licked by the sophomore second team, 12 to 3. It looked as though the fresh men wouldn’t score, but in ond half they livened up an a touchdown. Last Chance ForOregana Today at Six Prizes to Be Announced Sometime Next Week By Ron Huhbs Chi Psi First Over Top Among Fraternities Gilbert, Smith, Maddox All Confident The zero Iiour approaches! The moment when the procrastinating Collegiate*—if any there be after reading this warning—will be left shivering outside closed booths, Oro ganaless. At six today Oregano salesmen screw up their pens and start collat ing their subscriptions. “It’s now or never, if you want an Orcgana,” was the warning voiced yesterday evening by Sam Kinley, business manager. .'“Any extra copies in the spring will cost at least a dollar more.” Two More Go Over Top Two more women's houses had gone over 100 percent according to reports yesterday afternoon. They Ronald Hubbs are Alpha . Uhi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta. Pi Beta Phi went over the top Tuesday. Chi Psi was the first men \s or ganization to sub scribe 10 0 p e r cent. “Who'll win the cash prizes?” is the great question now raging among t h e representa tives. They are settling the dispute with verbal can nons and receipt-book ammunition. Awards will be announced by Ron ald M. Ilubbs, circulation manager, ^sometime next week. Banquet Approaching The big Oregana banquet which will be held in one of the down-town hotels for the winning, team, has started a number of foot-strikes al ready. They are calculated to work up appetites fitting for the occasion. All three faculty captains of the opposing teams, Warren D. Smith, William P. Maddox, and Janies II. Gilbert, were, at a late hour last evening, still optimistic about the outcome of the contest. Joe McKeown, Phil Livesley, and John Cusick refused to take time off for a public statement of their convictions. Dean Creatli and Alex Scott, Ron Ilubbs’ assistants, like wise would not divulge the “inside dope” on which team was ahead. The Oregana will be out for Jun ior week-end this year. The staff wants to put out the finest year book Oregon has ever had, Mary Benton, editor, declared. All plans and specifications have been worked j out with great care.

Dr. Frank Crane To Be Assembly Speaker Today Ex-Minister Is Successful In Taking Up Career As Journalist Dr. Frank Crane, the speaker at this morning's assembly, is charac terized by the American Magazine as a philosopher, a leader in that school of thought which values hap piness above mental depression, and selfmastery above despair. Dr. Crane was born in Urban a, Illinois, in 1861. After his student days at the Illinois Wesleyan Uni versity, he filled several important Methodist pulpits. In 1969 he gave up the ministry to enter journalism, in which field he has achieved a great success. A versitile writer, he has more than a dozen volumes to his credit. “Kducation means the subjection of mind and body to such discipline as shall enable one to get the most out of his life, and to use his facul ties to the greatest advantage,” he said in an article in the American Magazine, in which he described technical training as apprenticeship rather than education. “If I had gone to the right kind of school and had the right kind of teachers (although I have no idea whether such exist), I might have begun my life’s work properly when I. was twenty-one. As it was, it took me over forty years to find out the kind of work I could do., and still more important, the kind of work other people thought I could do to such an extent that they were will ing to pay me money for it.” In another article in the same periodical, entitled “WJiv I Am a Cjiristian,” Dr. Crane said, “Proba bly the most important reason for my being a Christian is that Chris tianity increases life. Whatever makes life strong, sane, courageous, free, and happy is good. Whatever makes life feeble, fevered, wretched, and perverted is bad.” “ ‘Stop! Look! Listen!’ is a good motto ig its place, but its place is before you start,” lie declared in (Continued on jxigt four) Program for Today First alumni meeting in Guild hall, 2 p. m.

Roaring Rally 'Busts’ Tonight With Big Noise Cotton Needed Proleelion For Tender Ears on Firing Line ‘We’re Started, Try to Stop Us,’ Is Slogan Fireworks Will Outline ‘0’ on Butte Attention! Everybody! Let's gof Tonight’s the night, of nights. The thirteenth a mum! Homecoming / football game will be fought in a re vived Oregon style when, the year’s big parade—one with more pep, vi tality, originality, sincerity—with men, women, young, and old, on their toes and a rarin ’ to go, assem bles on the Sigma Chi corner im patiently waiting for the death knell of the invading, aggressive, Beaver. Tonight, the game will bo won by automatic instillation of one of the most indomitable, breath taking rallies Oregon people have evrr seen. How glad those old grads will be to see tlint what they’ve heard about dormancy is all bunk. Football Team Rallied “We’re started, try to stop us,” will resound from the very hoofs of the parade so strongly that its ef fect will carry over to the line bucking of the Webfoot eleven to morrow on Hayward field. Last Thursday at assembly the tide was turned from possible inertia to T. N. T. by unusually stirring rally talks and the very sight of a Beaver which meandered across the stage on its way to Corvallis. Last night the football team was given a rally by the students which wrote in deliably on any inferior complex they might have had that the Uni versity of Oregon students are fighting with them and tonight’s rally will deepen those marks into crevasses through which the state college bunch will run to one of the most spectacular defeats they over experienced. Foremost among the devices to bo used in this great rejuvenation pro gram will be the noise machines. They have been revived after a two year’s rest and will shake loose their rust at about 7:45 tonight when the rally parade reaches Wil lamette at fith and the bonfire is at a zenith of its defiant ascendancy. There will be one machine for every two houses on the campus, making a total of ten noise wagons. Draw ings have been made by the frater nities for places in the parade, and the most likable instrument of ex pression will win a prize, a smoking stand. The judges, a faculty mem ber and two students, are to station themselves along Willamette street, and will announce at the Armory the machine that came the nearest to bursting their ear drums. The rally* bunch will gather on the Sigma Chi corner at (i:45 tonight to begin their march of defiance and warning to the Beaver bunch. The rooters will wear nothing more nor less than old clothes and rooter’s lids. Dress suits and powdered noses will look like a brigade of muddy ducks had been walking over them, so it’s only fair to suggest that old clothes and a backwoods voice are appropriate. Girls Asked to Help The Order of the “O” will (Tarry a big drum and beat on it as it leads the parade. Then the band will follow, with the rooters march ing in line. The urge is rather unique in practice, but nevertheless, all girls on. the campus are to bo asked ,as a matter of help, to fol low along on the sidewalks or any place whore footage and yardage may be had. Line of procedure will be down the street to lltli, thence down to Willamette. On the way down torches will be passed out to tho rooters. It is especially urged that the students fill their pockets with matches for the torches. Efforts have been made to clear the traffic off Willamette and students can greatly aid by remembering to leave (Continued on page three).
