Comparative scores show very

Oregon defeated the Badgers 45 to
0, while the Orangemen a 46 to 0

Excited frosh shivered, as they

was falling. A rapidly growing
group of angry men were gathering
at 11th and Alder. All were eager
to go but there were ears for only

Epidemic Spreads
But it was not' until last night
that the epidemic assumed truly ser
ious proportions. It was about half
past six that a series of loud vio
lent explosions resounded throughout
Eugene, and immediately fraternity j
and sorority houses began to dis
charge their howling contents into
the streets. East along Eleventh
street formed a lino of yelling, mad- j
dened students, north along Alder j
another, and north along University
still a' third. Again they appgared
to be possessed by some mysterious
power that was drawing them on,’
towards McArthur court.
At the Sigma Chi corner the Eelo
yenth and Alder street lines united j
and proceeded en masse, preceded
by the university band, which also!
seemed afflicted with the inexplic
able malady. Now the entire line
burst forth in a chant “Rah, rah,
Oregon! Rail, rah, Oregon! Rah, rah,
Oregon!”; now it sang lustily the
old time*melody “Hail, Hail, the
Gang’s All Here”; and now another
songfi a parody on “John Brown’s
Body,” which is very specific, in its!
application.
Serpentine Enters Igloo
The line reached the Igloo, meet
ing there the one which had formed
on University street, and two thous
and or more of the afflicted, all yell
ing madly, rushed in one gigantic
serpentine into the great basket
ball Iloor. ‘•iSqucak” Parks, Oregon
yell leader, tried to quiet the tumult,
but for nearly ten minutes his ef
forts were to no avail and the wild
rush continued.
At length, when the mob had
reached a semblance of order, Parks
called on McKedwn, the° leader of
the victims. Joe stated that there I
was not one remedy for the malady |
i which seems to have affected every
I Oregon student, a trip to Corvallis. I

By JOE PIGNEY
Tito habit of the Oregon
Aggies to lose to ttho Univer
sity of Oregon football team
will be re-established this after
noon at Bell field, Corvallis,
when the Webfoot and the
Beaver meet in the traditional
battle’of tbe year. This is the
spirit of the Oregon gridders
who leave Eugene this mornimr
at 30:00 o’clock.
A tlm>c year period of victory

“Boat Oregon—
it’s a habit.” The

ready to concede
that it has been
a habit for the
last three years,
but not one that
is so firmly rooted
that it cannot bo

The brazen slo
gan of the Aggies
has annoyed the
Webfoot gridders, and they are out
for victory. If they win today the
Webfoots will turn the laugh back
on the Beavers, and the rule that
the last laugh is always the best
will buhl particularly true this
afte moon.
Webfoot Ire Alroused
The memory of three successive
defeats, which is something never
before attained by the Aggies, has
aroused the anger of the Oregon
team. All signs of influenza have
disappeared, and bruised ankles and
stiff limbs have miraculously heal
ed. The possibility of defeating
the Aggie team has acted as a
tonic to tlio battered Oregon team.
The Oregon squad is now in excel
lent mental condition to turn back
the Beaver threat.
The Beavers are doped to win.
The edge ranges from two points
to thirteen. Oregon is again the
underdog .just as it has been in
every conference game played this
year.
Aside from the fact that the
Beavers are given a slight advan
tage on .paper, the teams are two of
the most evenly matched in the
Pacific coast conference. Neither
has startled, the world with its bril
liancy, but both have played flashes
of football which are unrivaled on
the coast. Oregon rose to its great
est power to hold Stanford and
California and to defeat. Washing
ton. The Aggies lay claim to fame
through victories over Washington
and Montana.
Teams Both Improved

that the strength of the Webfoots
