Day Editor This Issue— Herb Lundy Night Editor This Issue—-Myron Griffin Assistant Night Editors— Joe Freck Hal Paddock FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1927, The Old Stuff Is Still Here Oregon grads, iielloi This is Oregon’s big day. As TIood is to Skinner’s butte; as each frosh bonfire in the old days used to rear above its predecessor, so is Homecoming compared with its closest rival for the interest and af fection of Oregon. Today is happily appointed for a great debauch of enthusiasm. Hordes of many generations swarm homo to recapitulate briefly and in tensely their happy years on*the campus. Class lines have faded out long since, house feuds have dissi pated in tho mellowing mists of time. And all Oregon, past and present, is forgathered in response to a dominating common emotion of mingled fellowship, pride, and hoinago. Needless to remark, tho older grads sense a foreign air about the campus. Treasured landmarks have yielded to buildings which intrude themsolves ungraciously into the happy reminiscences of the oldster. Ho feels a little bewildered, a trifle disconsolate for, we’ll have you know, his epoch composed the full flower of Oregon. Never was nor will be again such fighting gridsters or such cards on tho faculty! But if the grads will forget these more obvious and ihevitablo scars of evolution; if they will penetrate to the essential living spirit of tho Uni versity, we bolieve thoy’ll have no occasion to foel any flagging of tho friendliness or enthusiasm of the student body or its mentors. Rather, we are confident that they will find in today’s Oregon as in yesterday’s something eminently worthy of their best. And we wel come this opportunity of proving it. Shadow Boxing And Evil Signs SEVERAL days ago the Emerald discredited tho Daily Califor nian’s statement that tho University has thrown “considerable opposi tion” in tho way of Oregon State Agricultural College’s name-chang ing campaign. Today’s communica t ion, however, gives evidence of some campus resentment. Two years of frequent abortive ef forts to replace tho A. with S., in dicates that tho reformers’ road was not rose-bestrewn. So there's nothing remarkable in discovering a sympathetic discord here. But our correspondent scents something sinister in tho change. His fears are not alone for the for feiture of those “valuable and high ly remunerative land grants.” Per haps tho erstwhile Aggies plan to absorb us—Pioneer, Deady and all! But the Emerald doesn’t beliovo in signs. It believes in nows. And when responsible agents date-line their dispatches O. S. C. or Oregon State they are authentic. However strong be the Emerald’s urge to re form, it draws the line at christen ing colleges. Let the neighbors ex ercise their penchant for juggling initials as they wish; facts are not so easily altered. Our correspon dent is shying at a bogey which is of the shadow, not the substance. The whole affair reminds us of a doggerel couplet. It seems that a sensitive Mr. Hog took legal steps to rid himself of his cross. Some quipsters were inspired to produce the following poetic gem: “Hog by name and hog by nature, But now it’s Hoag by legis lature.” Fight ’Em, Oregon! Fight! Fight! TODAY finds Oregon in the midst of its thirteenth annual Home coming. Last night’s rally is al ready a thing of the past. Today is the big day. The program for the day calls for a variety of events. Prominent among them will bo the campus luncheon, the cross-country race against the Aggie harriers, and the Homecoming dances. All will come in for a good share of attention but are fated to yield first place in the crowd’s interest to the annual bat tlo for the football supremacy of Oregon. What a game it should be! What fight and spirit will be shown! What though certain dopesters give the Aggies a margin of 13 points or so! Oregon has spillod the dope and thrown the bucket far and wide so many times in the past that dope no longer is given serious considera tion when the Lemon-Yellow clashes with the Orange and Black. Oregon is out to win. She must win! Every Oregon man and woman worthy of the name, whether of the faculty or of the student body is praying for an Oregon vic tory. A maligned student body will bo there to show that all talk about a dead Oregon spirit is just some moro of what is known as bunk, apple-sauce, and the like. Oregon students stand ready to give the lie to their accusers. The Oregon team is ready for whatever Coach Sehissler’s athletes have to offer. Win or lose, the j Oregon gridders are going to fight in such a way ns to rocall the days i of old for the alumni. It is waiting ' to answer the criticism which has been directed against it without cause. The team means to win if it takes its last bit of energy. One thing is certain. The game ' will not be a pink tea affair. Ore | gon students have tho spirit of old. The team has never lost its fight. The combination spells victory. —W. C. Commun ications Milky/i Our Brother’s Keeper To the Editor: Why the reference to the Oregon Agricultural College as O. S. C. and Oregon State in the columns of the Emerald ? Why do Oregon students aid the Corvallis institution in their attempt to cover up the fact that they are an agricultural school? As long as farming, agriculture, and other arts of the soil are taught at our sister institution, they merit the name of O. A. C., the Aggies, or (if you wish) the Beavers! It is a well known fact that it is lega?Iy impossible to change the title of the other Oregon school, as they hold certain valuable and high ly remunerative land grants from the government under their original name, and they will lose these if any legal action is taken. They have waged n secret publicity cam paign by word of mouth, and by “stickers” to got people talking of them as Oregon State. They can’t do it. True Oregonians should not let them get away with it.

If the Oregon Spirit is dead, that was certainly a wow of a wake they held over it last night. « » * LIFE ’S LITTLE TRAGEDIES The color-blind frosh wearing a black and orange rooters’ lid in the Oregon rooters’ section. rrm A1 B. Dam, noted Inventor of jlastic beds, who is on the campus n the interests of his company dur ng Homecoming. A1 says that dur :ng the past two years enormous progress has been made in the in iustry and that now a special Homecoming model bed is available for sororities and fraternities. It sasily accommodates 75 persons. It las a luminous dial indicator which >ells at all times exactly how many jccupants are in the bed. By glancing at this, the house steward :an tell at a glance how many more ;he bed will hold and he can also ;ell when everybody is up in the norriing. Gretclien wonders if the “round ;ho world debaters” have scheduled iny contests with the Spanish bull ’ighters. “Pardon me,” said No. 13X3. “You go hang,” said the governor. Wetzel of Oregon, stopping Maple jf 0. S. C. on an attempted end run after “Vic” had warned him seventy sight times not to try to make any thing around that end. This was the thirtieth attempt that resulted In no gain. Maple had resorted to Vic’s end because Biggs had threat ened to call the next guy who came his way an “Aggie.” Hodgen is breaking through into the O. S. C. backfield so often and fast that twice the referee thought him an orangeman and penalized O. S. C. for backfield in motion. TODAY’S MILL RACE CANDI DATE The bird who swipes women’s um brellas so he can get acquainted with them when they answer his “found” ad in the paper. “How could you get hurt by dropping your wrist watch?” “Idiot, I had it on.” Divorced are Air. And Airs. O’Grady; Game was exciting, He hugged the Wrong lady. Frosh Ben Dover says that ever since he first entered the University and was told the freshman class was the cream of the school, he noticed that the upperclassmen were tire milkmen for they always water the cream. MADDENING MOMENTS About 6 o’clock last night, realiz ing that you forgot to get a ticket at the Co-op. The most pathetic ease of the week-end so far happened when Mrs. Splutter went insane during the noise parade. It seems that she could not hear herself talking and she thought that she had lost her voice, thus affecting her mind. “She’s sure a beaut,” said the frosh as he gazed adaniringly at Skinner's. kst TRY AND STOP US!!!; Ghosts of Old Kincaid (With apologies to “Ghosts of the Alamo”) There’s the tramp of a ghost on the low winds tonight— An echo that drifts like a dream on its way; There’s the blur of the spectres returned for the fight, Grave-risen at last from a long-vanished day. There’s the shout and the call of grim soul unto soul As they come one by one from the past’s shadowed glen, To join in the rally, the “Osky’s” long roll When ghosts of old Kincaid are gathered again. I hear “Beauty’s” voice and his blood-curdling cry As he sweeps all the rooters as one to their feet, As Parsons, Malarkay and Cornell and “Sky” Follow up the long trail of the Aggies’ retreat. Though lost in the darkness that covers their past, In undying memory their deeds shall remain And their spirits shall rise in thie old order massed When ghosts of old Kincaid are gathered again. You think they’ve forgotten because they have passed— The day that the Aggies came on old Kincaid massed To witness defeat before Oregon’s fight? You think they’ve forgotten—but faint from afar Old Bezdek is calling the roll of his men, And a voice answers “Here” through the shadows that bar When ghosts of old Kincaid are gathered again. There’s a gleam on the field—and you thought it a star. There the “ghost ball” is passed—and you thot it the moon You thought the wind echoed that anthem of war, Knowing the lilt of the Oregon tune. Grey shade after shade stir again into breath, Grey phantom by phantom they tackle their men, Where souls hold a rivalry greater than death. When ghosts of old Kincaid are gathered again.
