Cards Arrive Here at Noon For Big Game, \-* Stanford Warriors To Test Webfooters’ Field With Short Signal Practice Oregon Is the Underdog With Chance for Victory Veteran Backfiehl Ready To Start Coast Battle Glen S. Warner and his Cardinal football team, eager for battle, ar rive in Eugene at noon today, and Oregon is realty. The Webfoots fin ished drill last, night with a light workout. The team will meet this aftcrnon in McArthur court to sum marize offensive and defensive tac tics before going into the game to morrow at 2:00 o’clock. Stanford will look over Hayward field this afternoon, and probably run a few signals on the gridiron where tomorrow the redshirts may taste the sting of an OregoTi defeat. The Webfoots are again “the under dogs with a fighting chance,” but the chance is one which carries a powerful punch. Has Veteran Backfield Oregon’s starting backfield is nearly certain to be the veteran one. Several inexperienced players will start on the line, but the lack of ex perience hasn’t lessened their abili ties. The backs will not be heavy, but, their speed is enough to offset that handicap. The first string line averages approximately 190 pounds. This is heavier than any line the Webfoots have had for several sea Eons. McEwan is not hindered by tbo lack of substitutes. In 1927 when the regulars began to weaken, the reserve material was not strong enough to go in without hampering the power of the squad. Oregon this year has a “B” team that is forcing the “A” squad to go at top pace to keep the advantage. Guards Are Strong Big George Stadelman, 200 pound center and Oregon’s bid for all coast honors, will start against the Oardinals. George Chappell and Phil Ireland are the reserve eenters, and are both developing. Stadelman is playing his second year on the varsity, but the other two are get ting in for the first time. Everett McCutehan, 175, and Merril Hagan, 185, are McEwan’s guard selections. Much of the of fensive power of the team is built about the guards. Speed is neces sary for the perfect execution of plays, and the guards are fast. Ore gon is not wanting in reserves here, and as soon as one combination be gins to falter another can be sent in. The starting tackles, George Chris tenson and Austin Colbert, freshmen last year, have both weight and swiftness, and the Stanford backs will have difficulty, getting past the line of scrimmage. Last Saturday Christenson out-sprinted Walker, fast Pacific end, to run interference for Bobinson. Scott Warren and Tom Weems are the first reserve set, (Continued on Page Two) Mrs. Lucy Perkins, Curator of Warner Museum, Relates Japanese Experiences Mrs. Lucy Perkins, eurntor of, the Warner museum, spent last spring in Japan with the Warner party and is now returned to the campus with many quaint and amusing tales of Japanese life. One of the occasions she enjoyed the very most was the Cherry Blos som festival which is held yearly at Kyoto, the old capitol of Japan. Eacli year many of the Japanese people journey there from all parts of the world to catch a glimpse of the billowing blossoms and the gavly clad Japanese people. The cherry blooms are at their best during April. The dance of the blossoms is held nightly throughout the festival season. The theatre where the dancing is held has a large seating capacity and seats are arranged according to social prestige. Only foreigners and Japanese of high station are permit ted choice seats. The privileged few are ushered into a kind of lounge where they are served tea and cakes by tiny maidens in gay kimonas. As the doors open hordes of the lower classes rush in until every available space is filled. Soon the dance is on and the chorus of thirty-two enchanting maidens fills tlie stage, a riot of glorious color and graceful blossoms. Mrs. Perkins’ own words may best describe the scone. “The colors are fascinating, blue, scarlet and gold, each girl dancing gracefully with blossom fans, hoops of bells and lit tle gold flower pots holding tiny cherry trees. The dance is a thing to marvel over for although the ki monos worn by the chorus are very long they never never trip.” After the dance the pleasure seek ing audience adjourns to one of the many parks around Kyoto. Espe cially at night are these spots very romantic. The Japanese have a very clever system of advertising. They light the parks by means of lanterns on which are inscribed in brightly colored shades the names of the various city firms. These lanterns make the parks veritable fairy lands of delight. The solid mass of blos soms above float down through the boughs over the heads of the people. Japanese are very proud of their cherry trees and take excellent care of them. They will often gaze at a single blossom with the greatest joy. Perhaps this adoration of the beau j tiful expresses itself best in the un j comparable Festival of Cherry i Blossoms.

Sopli Turnout For Managerial Positions Large Forty Men Out for Places, 25 Given Football Jobs, Seven Seniors on Staff Answering a call for sophomore athletic managers, forty men turned out yesterday afternoon and were assigned to their respective sports. Wade Newbegin, senior sports man ager, was in charge of the meeting and assigned the jobs. Each man present was given a card on which he named the sport in which he was particularly interested. As far as possible, every man was assigned to the sport he wanted. This large number of sophomores was needed because under the new system no freshmen will be used on the managerial staff. The new svs calls for one senior sports manager, six individual sports managers un der him. These are all seniors. Under each individual senior sports manager are several juniors and under them the sophomores work. Twenty-five men were assigned to football, four to swimming, four to tennis, and four to track. Sopho more football managers are: Clare Coe, Paul Woodward, Don Caples, DonaTd Guild, Edward Eobinson, Harry Elliott, Michael Hogan, Mark Gill, Nelson McCook, Preston Gun ther, Harold Goldsmith, Robert Mil ler, Thomas Williams, Jack Stevens, Dick Lewis, Eric Toikka, M.

(Continued on Page Three) ‘Pep’ Revival Stirs Students To Old‘Fight Campus Leaders Ask for Support; 2500 Shouting Rooters Give Promise President Hall Thinks Players Need Baeking Yell Leader Gives Plans For Saturday’s Rally It took just forty minutes yester day 'morning to change 2500 passive students into a fowling mass of hu manity whose one thought was to fight for Oregon. The occasion was an Oregon fight assembly which was held at McArthur court and the re sult was a pandemonium of noise. The student body was called to order by President Joe McKeown who gave a brief pep talk. “Just before school opened I took a trip around the state,” Joe McKeown told the students. “Wherever I went the alums asked what was wrong with Oregon’s football team and what was the matter with the Oregon students and Oregon fight. They said the University was get ting too large. I decided that Ore gon was not too big to have spirit, and I want every student to get out to the game Saturday afternoon.” Fine Men Play Football Jack Bcnefiel, graduate manager, was the next person to speak. “The finest men in the school capable of playing football are doing it,” he said, “and they must know that we are behind them. They must feel it. Think of the courage behind their playing. We must make the football men feel that we are all working for them. If they feel this way they will play the kind of game you want them to.” He asked the students to remember to be sports man in both victory and defeat. Student body tickets must be ex changed at the Co-op for football seats or they will not be admitted to the game Saturday, Benefiel warned. Captain Burnell Confident George Burnell, acting captain of the football team, told the students that they had a good coach and good football players who had the Oregon spirit, and if the students would only got their share of the spirit he was sure that they would win. The importance of student respon sibility was brought out by Presi dent Arnold Bennett Hall. “If a man is no longer interested in the victory or defeat of the University of Oregon, and is unwilling to sac rifice himself to a common victory or defeat, I will be glad to hoar him say good-bye,” he stated. Students who make a practice of leaving the football games five minutes early and leave the players struggling were informed that their president had no use for them. “McKeown Outlines Duties” The two primary duties of Oregon students were outlined by Joe Mc Keown. The first was to attend the rally and the game and the sec ond was to be present at the pep assembly. Plans for the big all-Oregon rally were explained by “Squeak” Parks, yell leader, who then took charge of the assembly. The first section of the men's rally leaves the. Beta house at one o’clock Saturday and gathers up all the men on Eleventh street. From there they will go to the corner of Thirteenth and Alder where they will be met by the Alder street section led by the Phi Delts. They will form one huge howling lino and proceed to the Igloo where they will be met by the hill brigade, which is scheduled to start from the houses on the hill at 1:20 p. m.
