I 5 OREGON SET TO BAG BEAVER Parade Plus Rally Stirs Fight Riotous Noise Moves Crowd To Rah! Rah’s! Racket From Machines Fills Rooters Willi Renewed Life Wind Up At Armory Yields Big Ovations Plii Kappa Psi, Psi Kappa, Wagon’ Wins By CARL GREGORY The game was won last night if noise, noise, more noise and a re vived Oregon Spirit can possibly have anything to do with it. The raeket machines, after a two-year’s rest, came forth in a riotous display of deafening noise, racked from machine guns, saws, steam whistles, all the deafening instruments ever devised by man. They were pre ceded, also, by the usual rally par ade which seemed to possess new vigor in its line of some 3000 root ers, and the big frosh bonfire burnt out in bright defiance of any invas ion. “Now what do you say? Where’s the old Oregon Spirit gone to? We’re started now, you can’t stop us! What do you say, gang?” boom ed Oberteuffer, one of Oregon’s pep machines. “Are you going to do for this team tomorrow what you expect them to do for you?” pleaded Bill Hayward, the man with the unfal tering faith, as he pointed to the boys around him. “We’ve got the Oregon spirit that never dies. We’re going to fight to morrow and we’re going to win that battle,” yelled Jack Benefiel. Dean Shirrell emphasized that the old Ar gonne war cry was right in the at mosphere. Speakers Move Crowd “That O. A. C. bunch can’t come over and whip us! can they, boys?” screamed the frantic Captain John J. McEwan as he turned to the ex pectant football men behind him. The crowd was moved—they felt that old intangible thing tingle through their very bones. It was there. Not one could deny it. That great crowd was—moved! Captain McEwan stood in silence, seeming to say, “I believed you!” This all happened last night at the Armory in one of the biggest football rallies in the history of Oregon. Down 11th street the dauntless, colorful, and roaring line of the Ore gon parade moved in perfect unison to the tramp of some 3000 feet, and the tom-tom beat of drums and the expectant heart beats of as many students, alumni and townspeople. Noise Holds Sway When Willamette was reached the big “O” on Skinner’s butte was out lined by green flares burning on the outside border and red flares burn ing on the inside. When the parade had marched hi^f way down Wil lamette toward the butte the mass of material between the burning flares suddenly burst into flames. By the time the Heilig theater was reached the “O” was burning bright, rockets were ascending with big booms to burst and fall in myriad colors of shooting fire. The parade formed a circle at the Heilig. After a short serpentine the faint echoes of the first noise machine wafted the crowd to one side to allow the pas sage of the machines down the cen ter of the street. Ten of them, with screaming, whistling, violent noises, passed slowly by under the scrutiny of thousands of people who held hands over ears. Buried in the crowd were three judges. The com petition for the best machine was keen. The decision was hard to make. However, the Phi Kappa Psi and the Psi Kappa wagon with a large steam engine, three whistles, three trailers behind on which were saws, machine guns and similar con trivances, took the prize, it was an nounced at the Armory. The Oregon spirit was in the crowd from start to finish. The townspeople were there to see it flame out, and according to random statements they were not disap- j pointed.

Four Oregon Men To Play Last Home Game ‘Mighty Oregon’ Will Be Players’ Swan Song; Fight Assured By RICHARD L. GODFREC Captain Beryl Hodgen. Victor Wetzel. John Albert Warren. Homer Jonathan Dixon. Four men—Oregon, gridsters—will listen to the swan song today. Four husky men, fighters all, will, for the last time in their lives, listen to the waning strains of “Mighty Oregon” as it is chanted by the loyal Oregon rooters, as they walk, tired, from Hayward field late this afternoon. Regardless of the out come of the Oregon-Oregon Aggie game, these • four will make their last trek from the famous field. These men—Captain Hodgen, Vie Wetzel, John Warren and Homer Dixon—have given three years of their life to Oregon football—have put up their best effort, given every bit of their spirit—to put Oregon on the athletic map. They have worked through the long, tired hours of preliminary training—have worked in mud and rain; sunshine and hot, sweaty weather—hour after hour and night after night with but one thing in view. To help make Oregon’s team the fighting, never dying machine that it is. Today, these four will play their last GO minutes before a loyal Web (Continued on page two) Record of Oregon Oregon Aggie Games Since 1894 Listed Year 1894 1895 . 1896 Oregon . 0 .42 . 2 1910 . 1911 (No game). 1912 . 1913 . 1914 . 1915 . 1916 . 1917 . 1918 . 1919 . 1920 . 1921 .. 1922 ... 1923 . 1924 . 1925 . 1926 . 0 1896 (2nd game). 8 1897 .8 1898 .38 1899 .38 1901 (No game). 1902 .:. 1903 . 1904 . 1905 . 1906 . 1907 . 1908 .. 1909 . 6 6 0 0 8 12 .12 . 3 .10 . 3 . 9 .27 . 7 .13 .. 9 . 0 . 0 .10 . 0 . 7 ••+.13 0 Aggies 18 0 0 4 26 0 0 0 10 0 14 W.

I wouldn’t want to reform the world for nothing. Honey shows that people appreciate what you do. That’s the beauty of it, and it takes away the curse. Civilization con sists of getting other people to work for you. I couldn’t make a knife or weave a tablecloth, so I’ve got to earn enough money to pay other people to do it,” he declared. “The second thing I would do if I were 21 would be to adjust my self. Some day I’m going to write a great, big, unabridged dictionary with just one wTord in it, and that word will be printed in red so that everyone can see it—‘adjust.’ Ad just yourself to your family, for if you can’t get along with your fam ily you can’t get along with anyone else.

S. C. Barometer OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Cor vallis, Nov. 11. — Special)—This morning Coach Paul J. Schissler and 50 of his roughest Rough Riders will trek to Eugene, where they will “ride” their hardest this afternoon in the annual battle for “Who’s who in Oregon football.” After all the dope, comparative scores, and whatnot have been put together, tom apart and put together again, the answer is the same—a tossup. Many ardent Orange fans have been loud in predicting an easy win for the Beavers. True—comparative scores to give the Staters a slight advantage, but in a game like the one this afternoon scores count for nothing. Oregon will come on the field fighting, and so will Oregon State with her crippled squad. The team that faces Oregon will be what is left of the first string after three tough struggles. Tho power is gone from the backfield. Avrit and Whitlock, line plungers, will watch the game from the bench, nursing injuries. Only an emergency will give this pair a chance to enter the battle. Whitlock Out However, no tears are being shed over this loss as Gilmore, fullback, has more than shown his ability to replace Avrit, and Twitchell, half, well fills Whitlock’s shoes. Then there is George Scott, star half of the Stanford and Washington State battle, with his mind set on nothing else than scoring. Howard Maple, chubby signal barker, will be there, of course. He never fails to star with his long return of kickoffs and punts. On the ends Oregon is going to buck up against something they have not met this year. Robbins and Logan, conceded as a pair of the coast’s best, are the next thing to impregnable. Both are playing their last game against Oregon, and are in line to play their best game of the season. Logan will act as captain. Next to the ends are two mam moth tackles in Schell and Kent. Both of these men are doing their first year on the varsity and have benched a pair of veterans. Schell, the biggest man on the team, towers six feet five inches, and tips the scales at something better than 220 pounds. His partner, Kent, carries 200 pounds of trouble for any team. Line Is Strong Eilers and Badley will start at guard, and Geddes at center. This trio is the answer to wdiy no team has been able to gain consistently through the middle of the Orange line. There is nothing that these three enjoy any more than spilling a play before it gets started. “In such a battle, between tradi tional rivals, dope counts for nothing. Anything is likely to hap pen on a soggy field with a wet ball,” was Coach Schissler’s only statement before the game. “A slippery ball is liable to go any place, and no matter how well my team is trained in following the ball, they cannot predict which ,way it will fall or bounce,” ho added. Notice to Alumni All alumni are urged to regis ter at the Administration build ing, leaving their temporary ad dress, and securing their alumni badges, which will admit them to all Homecoming activities, ex cept the game.

Lamar’s Portrait Of John Straub To Be Unveiled Painting To Be Presented At 10:30 Is Alumni Gift To University Aside from the football game this afternoon, the biggest event of im portant to the University will be the unveiling of Dean Emeritus John Straub’s portrait at tlio alumni meeting at 10:30 a. m. The por trait, done by Julian Lamar of New York and a gift to the University from the alumni, will be presented by Clarence W. Keene, of Silverton, in behnlf of the latter. Other speak ers will be Dean Jaimes II. Gilbert and Dean Straub, who will give a brief talk in appreciation of the honor. After the exorcises a good oppor tunity will be afforded those pres ent to view the portrait. Alumni, especially those of Eugeno and Lane | county who can attend, are urgod to bo at the ceremony and not to let the excitement of the game detract from the honor due Doan Straub. When Darwin Bristow, treasurer of the alumni association, sent out the call for funds to finance the painting of the portrait last year, a quick and very hearty response re sulted from alumni members scat tered over the country. All ex pressed themselves as glad of the opportunity to show their respect and friendship for the “Grand Old Man of Oregon.” Following aro a few of the state ments made in the letters. “I am only too glad to have a part in this fitting and graceful tribute to Pro fessor Struub on the part of his old student admirers,” —• Herbert F. Murch, ’98, professor at Princeton University. J. A. Lauro, '94, pastor at Water loo, Iowa, says, “I took four years of Greek from Professor Straub and he was very kind and fatherly to me.” “He will be a warm and living memory in the hearts of hundreds of Oregon people all their lives.”— Elizabeth Woods, ’05, director of the (Continued on page two) Journalism ‘Jam* fs Final Feature of Homecoming Week Tomorrow, clients, is the day when all good men gather at the men’s gym nasium to celebrate the conquest that is to come off on Hayward field this afternoon, by means of imbibing liberally of beer and pret zels at the Journalism Jamboree. Furthermore, those deluded mor tals who have not paused in their walks of life to buy a four-bit j ticket can get in by presenting a (like amount at the door at 9 p. m. tomorrow night. A few feature dances and song hits will help enliven the evening— which, if past years are any indica tion, will not need much in the way of “high life.” Art Schoeni^ who dubbed himself “general chairman” because he was doing the most work, blushingly ad mits that girls without dates are especially welcome as there are always plenty of the other gender ' present. Masks can be bought at the door tomorrow night. Prizes will be award ed to the best costumes, or rather to people wearing them. Varsity Tips Fight Bucket To Spill Dope Oregon Team in Furious Mood to Win Back Public Favor By JOB PJGNEY There will be no peace on this Armistice Day. T w o teams, fighting mad, will clash today on Hayward field to de cide the grid supremacy of the state of Oregon. The state Uni versity, the Webfooters, and the state college, the Beavers are the rivals of a long stand ing tradition. Neither team has startled the Pacific Coast conference with its brilliance so far this season, neither is far from the proverbial cellar. But what does that matter when these two meet in the annual Homecoming; when thoy fight as though the championship of the world depended upon the outcome of the contest! The Beavers are the favorites. They have won one conference bat tle, and scored on the league leaders. The most notable effort of the Web footers resulted in a 0 to 0 tie with the strong Idaho Vandals early in the season. Against the Stanford Cardinals, considered the most po tential eleven on the coast, the Ore gon warriors were completely over whelmed, and wore unable to push across a score. Oregon Furious The WJebfootors are in a furious mood. Their swift, sweeping attack has been stopped time after time by teams from Stanford and Califor nia; time after time thoir deter mined defense has been brushed aside by a superior offensive. The mighty Oregon spirit has been through the fire this year; today it will come out of the tiro truly tem pered, and the invading Aggies will bo repulsed. The Webfooters have much to ac complish today. First and most im portant is a triumph over the Beav ers. Second is that which will na turally follow the staters’ downfall —Oregon’s first conference win of the year. Thirdly, the Bucks have so far failed to score a point—a vic tory today will eraso that uncompli mentary sting. Field in Shape Historic Hayward field, the scene of many groat Oregon Homecoming battles, is in perfect shape for this afternoon’s tilt. The recent heavy rainfall has added to the generally good condition of the gridiron. The sawdust is packed firm and fkst which is a potential asset to tho speedy Oregon backs, and certainly no handicap to the Aggies. Oregon today is outweighed, but Oregon has been outweighed all season. Each pound, each ounce of the Webfoot fighting machine is full of an inextinguishablo fire that might prove too hot for Coach Paul J. Schissler’s Oregon Staters to hold. What the Webfooters lack in avoirdupois they have in speed. Fleet backs and swift linemen have been the keynotes of Oregon’s of fensive and defensive strength this year. Stadelman at Center George Stadelman, 199 pound center is the heaviest man on the Webfoot team. Stadelman has prob ably been the outstanding man de veloped by Coach McEwan this year. At the first of the season the pivot was looked upon as one of the weakest spots on the line. This, however, was false, for Stadelman soon made tho middle portion of the line the most invulnerable on the defense and the most consistent on the offense. This lean, rangy Ore gonian is only a sophomore, and the Aggie defenders have two more years of his aggressiveness to with stand. Captain Beryl Hodgen is starting his last battle before the Oregon students. His Iasi battle, but his mightiest one, he declares. Oppo site Hodgen at tackle is John War (Continued on yage three)
