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

Beaten Paths Best in Seeing Europe
View of Leslie Lewis,"English Prof.\
“Gorman students are the most]
interesting people in Europe,” said !
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

There may have been many a

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.

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.

by the racquet wielders. 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.

Two members of Alpha Thu Om

of the state for the annual banquet,
which will be held here in the
regents hall of the new men’s dor

president of the university, will talk
on “research.”
Dr. Hall was one of the founders
and for several years chairman of

still an active member, eltJi(ough
he has resigned as chairman. Last
summer he attended the council ses

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

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. This new plan
is expected to do away with these
old financial difficulties.

agreed that the trip would bo con

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

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
