Bearcat Team Eagerly Hopes For Triumph Cily of Salem All Hopped Up Over Oregon’s Visit To Willamette Gridiron Injuries Would Weaken WeJ)fouters for Huskies Special Admission Price Is Made for Students By JOE PIGNEY Tlio ontiio Wobfoot football team loaves this morning to moot the Willamette Bearcats in Salem at L’:00 o’clock. Oregon looks for a victory, but it will bo an expensive one it' the Bearcats are savage enough to administer injuries to Me Ewan’s team. In juries, the ruination of any foot ball team’s hopes, are spoiling the Webfooter’s plans. Just n't the time McEwan decided upon his strongest lineup, Have Mason was put on the hospital list with a fractured tibia. Everett McCutchaa, alert guard who scored the first touchdown against Stanford, is on the sidelines with an infected "tooth. The loss of these two men natur ally weakens the team', but if there are no injuries in the Willamette contest today, Oregon may still be powerful to stop Washington at Portland next Saturday. The Web foot strength does not lie in one man or even two. It was the whole team that stood off Stanford, and it will have to be a whole team that defeats the JIuskies. Rates for Students This is the first time in several years the Wcbfooters have gone to Salem to play Williamette. It is a «( mi km ii- ill v. «i^' to see Oregon in action. The Bear cat school is enthuiastic over the visit, and Oregon students will be admitted at the reduced price of fifty-cents plus a student body ticket. Willamette has often been too much for Oregon teams to handle. In 11)24 the Bearcats held the strong er Webfooters to a scoreless tie, and were a continual threat throughout the game. The Bearcats are one of the lead ing teams in the Northwest confer ence this year. They started the season by overwhelming Lrinfield .'hi to 0. A team that can score six touchdowns in a single game is one that should not be considered lightly. The small schools of the northwest are always eager to down,the Pac ific coast conference members, and Willamette will be on edje to take advantage -of Oregon’s mistakes. Oregon Should Win Oregon should win by a comfort able score. The Webfoots, perhaps, are not going into the battle with the zest that would accompany a conference test, but- they can't. af ford to lose. A victory for Wil lamette might spoil the spirit of the team for the game with Wash ington. So it is with the knowledge that they must win that Oregon goes to Salem today. McEwan will use the game as an experimental one, but he wi" take no chances of de feat. It is almost essential that the team win by a large score to assure it of its power. Changes in Backfielcl Since Mason is crippled and Mc Cutehan temporarily out of the line up, there is a possibility for several new combinations playing today. The starting backfield will include (Continued on Page Three) Ready For the Bearcats at Salem Stadelm,^ CEATre-R r 3&>BLNSY3Jsr. Half ,, jUll. t tackle. Four husky Webfooters who will try their skill against Willamette University at Salem this afternoon. None of these men have played against the Bearcats before, no they are eager for the battle.

Leslie Lewis, formerly of the Uni versity of Colorado faculty, who was added to the teaching staff of the English department this year, commenting on his recent trip abroad. “I stayed a week at Heidelberg, and found it one of the most inter esting points of my journey.” When the reporter asked if the Germans ate sauerkraut and[ wienies, and drank bad beer, he replied that he found the beer very good. Mr. Lewis finds that the old war feeling against the Amcicans has almost, if not entirely died out in Germany, but the feeling against tile French is very high, so high in fact that in many parts of Ger many French is taboo. “And that got us in a lot of trouble, too,” he related, “because we couldn’t speak German, and they wouldn’t speak French.” Ac cording to Mr. Lewis, the German people all seem to have excellent health. “Hitch-hikers” would be rather out of luck in Europe for people there, who do own cars never give walkers anv rides; and also there is a scarcity of cars in Europe, out side of the cities. He said that he and his companion from the Uni versity of ( (dorado, when they were walking in southern France, would go for days without meeting a car. Mr. Lewis said that they made no effort to get off the ‘beaten path,’ because if one is hunting Europe’s famous sights he will find trails made by many feet leading to them. The purpose of the trip abroad was to fill gaps in their literary backgrounds. They stayed one month each in {Continued on I’af/e Three) Russian Choir .

There may have been many a freshman who rested well last night, but there is going to be many a freshman who will not be so rest ful today, nor will many a fresh man have an easy time resting easily tonight. For today is the day of days for the freshmen. Today is the day that will be written into the pages of history of the average freshman. Today is the day that will never be forgotten by the members of the class of 19:12. Today is the day of the Frosh Pa rade! au must tieea Comp one, come all—you fresh men. Come today to have yourselves made into real college men. Come sharply at 8 o’clock this morning to Kincaid field back of Condon hall, and from then on till about noon time the freshmen will puss through various ceremonies that will enable the first year men to be imbedded with the true Oregon spirit. Hundreds of freshmen rose early this morning to find the various halls of the living organizations and the poles on the campus blocks ad orned with death-like warning to members of the class of 1D32 who are termed as the “Scaly Scabs of ’32.” The notices were posted to impress upon the yearlings what is ahead of them. These frightening signs were composed by Ford Smith and his committee, consisting of Johnny Creech and Hill Whitely. A large crew of sophomores were hired to distribute the notices to the var ious points on the campus. Gather at Kincaid The boys of ’.'12 will first gather to distribute the notices to the var liall instead of Sigma Chi corner as has been announced in some places at 8 o’clock this morning where they will be given proper ahead of them. These frightening man on the student council, will act as general chairman for Fran ces Hill, president of the sophomore class, who will journey to Salem toilay with the Oregon football team to play Willamette. At Kincaid field the freshmen will form a line of march for the parade. A large number of seniors garbed in their traditional outfit, canes and cords, will be on hand to act as “cops” for the affair. They will act as the general police force and will see to it that the humble frosh are not subjected to any un necessary treatment and also to form a blockade against any unof ficial paddlers. 31 Paddies Primed The 31 chosen paddlers will be present when the line forms to re ceive their badges in order that the frosh are not subjected to any un the official paddle wielders from the unofficial but anxious sopho mores. The chosen 31 should all report on time, says Stanford Brooks, chairman of the paddles committee, and general impressario of the day’s doings. Brooks is be ing agsfsted by his committee: Koke Smith, George Lowe, and Windsor Calkins. Freshmen are being informed not to pay dimes to any unscrupulous collectors on Kincaid field because the tut cent pieces will not be ac cepted by the official collection committee till the boys pass the gate at the foot of Skinner’s Butte.

The tourn ament will be resumed Monday aft ernoon and all third round matches must be played then, according to Henry Neer, who has charge of the tourney. Every match played yesterday was interesting to watch, but the real features of the day were the match es in which A1 MacOlaren and Wil ford Long defeated their opponents in three set matches. Gordon Jason continued his sensational play and seems headed for the finals. nupKins wins Two members of Alpha Thu Om ega were pitted against each other in the second round of play when lloppie Hopkins and Bill Whitely clashed.

Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the university, will talk on “research.” Dr. Hall was one of the founders and for several years chairman of the Social Science Research Coun cil, the foremost research organiza tion in the United States. He is still an active member, eltJi(ough he has resigned as chairman. Last summer he attended the council ses sion at Hanover, New Hampshire. An executive research program is planned for Oregon by Dr. Hall, and he is expected to express* his views on this at the Uhi Delta Kappa meeting. Class Bells Erratic Professor Believes Tlint Hie University is out of har mony with the universe, in the mut ter of time nt leust, is the complaint made to the administration offices by a veteran member of its teaching staff. He remarks on the failure of our University time to agree with the Western Union clock, and com ments on the “erratic nature” of the bolls by which classes are taken up and .dismissed. He concludes, “The Director of the universe has set the heavenly bodies in motion according to some unfathomable law of regularity. Man in his feeble at tempt to obey the Almighty has adopted this system, and I for one think it would be well for the Uni versity to fall in line with this mag nificent and universal scheme.” New Finance Scheme Introduced at V. S. C. U. 8. C., Oct. f). (P. I. PO One of the four organized classes at the University of Southern Cal ifornia here collects its dues at the time its members collect its student activity books. The money is to be deposited in a local bank to draw interest for the four years this class is in college. Most every class that has gradu ated has had a hard time collecting for ils debts, and also in soliciting for its class gift.

It was finally agreed upon that the student •administration would take the mat ter in its hands and they in •turn agreed that the trip would bo con ducted in a manner befitting Oregon students. The university will not sponsor any dances in Portland following the game. Must Show Spirit “It is up to the Oregon students to go up to Portland, attend the game and rally, and show the true Oregon spirit in their conduct, while there,” said Joe McKeown, A. S. U. O. president, yesterday. Possibility of cancellation of games in Portland was cited by Mc Keown as a serious matter for the university’s football teams ns it would be practically impossible to bring the larger California and Washington teams to Kugene for games on account of the smaller gate receipts. Two special trains will run to Portland next week end at extra low rates in I he neighborhood of $11.80, one leaving l'Viday after noon at 4 o clock and ttie'Other Hat urday morning at S o’clock. A re turn train will leave Portland Sat urday evening at 8:.'40 and another Sunday evening at 6:d0. Both rail roads are co-operating with the stud ents to make this possible. Rally Group busy With the permission In hold a rally in Portland granted by uni versity officials, members of the rally committee busied themselves yesterday to make plans for the event. The group will meet today at l p. m. to decide on whether to hold it Friday night or Saturday at 1 p. m. Last spring the student council in office at that time, President Hall, Dean Shirrell, and Dean Kster ley decided to do away with all rallies and dances in Portland os tensibly on account of the poor spirit shown and the criticism received from alumni and other interested persons. At yesterday’s conference between the student council and President Hall, Karl Onthank, Dean Shirrell and Dean Prutsman, the for mer group voiced the complaint heard on the campus lately regard ing the ruling. Leave It to Students After a long discussion the uni versity officials agreed to let the students have their way, leaving it up to them to show the proper spirit. Speakers will be sent to talk to living organizations on the campus next week to explain the Status of the associated student body in put ting on this football trip. By virtue of this excursion it is considered probable that the class dances scheduled for Friday night will be postponed or called off. Campus Corn Carnival Scheduled For Tonight; 50 Houses Entered Open house—the annual marathon callous caucus of the campus— starts at 7 o’clock tonight with twenty-five fraternities and men’s living groups calling on twenty-five sororities and other girls’ organi zations. When midnight drags around and each man’s house has called on each woman’s house and danced" a couple of rounds before moving on to the next one, the fraternity presidents will lead their clans of bunion bruis ers homewards and to bed. Last year it was estimated that the Smith population on the campus ' rose 50 per cent, a horde of Hart, j Schaffner & Mary brothers appeared 1 and shook hands with the girls, and 24 Gene Tunnevs, Jack Dempseys and other boys of the fisticuff rack et went the rounds with the frater nities. Boys with funny names us ually go under some other more easily pronounced cognomen and moot girls with dish-rag handshakes, girls with masculino handshakes, girls who wave a mit under tin; boy’s noso ia a horizontal motion. Tonight ’s flvo hours corn cavort ing is slated to wear out ton foot of good old cowhide on the collective campus solos. The annual catalog ing of the houses with good looking girls and those not so hot will be done during the evening. It has boon also estimated that a man walks .'100 feet when he dances the length of a phonograph record . . . now there are 11,000 students on the campus—result, 900,000 foot. With 25 hours to visit the distance traveled rises to a huge total of 22,500,000 feet which will be walked, glided, skipped and hopped tonight. If a fuzzy caterpillar can crawl a foot in 15 minutes, it would take him—well, do your own funny fig uring on that, our adding machine broke.
