>- BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 23.—(Rpo
cifll) Willi everything to gain and
nothing to loose, the University of
E. H. Syring
Montana drizzly
1 football team,
| which meets the
| University of Orc
g o n eleven ' o n
Hayward field on
Nov. 24, for the
first time in his
tory, will cast
“care to the
wind” and strive
■ for victory at anyi
cost. Not since
I the days of “Wild
Hill” Kelly have
the Grizzlies tast
ed the sweet morsels or a conference
victory and that at the expense of
the University of Idaho gridsters
in 1925.
It is hard to say just rvhat the
Grizzlies might exhibit on the Web
foot gridiron. It is a certainty that
it will be the unexpected. If the
field is dry, look out for the passes!
As the season comes to a close Coach
Frank Milburn’s boys have devel
X, oped a dangerous passing attack. In
fact, he now has an air-minded
team, which made consistent gains
via the ozone against the Idaho
Vandals last Saturday.
Hold Heavy Practice
Practices' held on Dornblascr field
at Missoula this week have been
terrific ones. At the expense of the
cubs, playing the Oregon style of
fhotball, a growling, snarling Mon
tana Grizzly eleven has clawed and
fought its way up and down the
gridiron. Although there can be
little chances of a Montana victory,
the Missoula team will fight its
hardest in the last contest of its
schedule.
From present indications, Tom
Moore, sophomore, may be expected
to start in the backfield, with
Cliinske at quarter, Davis at full
back, and Waldo Ekegren at half
back. Moore made a good showing
against the Oregon State Beavers
and for that reason may be given
the preference in the game against
the Webfoots. Morrow, Parmalee,
Carpenter and Kermit Ekegren are
sure of getting into the fray before
> the timer ’s gun draws it to a close.
Lineup Indefinite
The line does not appear definite
ly settled. Peterson will be at one
tackle, with Walker or Spence most
likely to start at the other tackle
post. Murray will be at one guard,
and Schotte and Foss have been
fighting it out for the other guard
job. Foss has been shifted back to
guard after playing several games
at tackle.
Kay feet Eewis, tlie lanKv cen
ter who picked up an Idaho fumble
and ran 18 yards for a touchdown
last Saturday, lias little competition
for the pivot position. Harmon and
ltognlien will probably pair at ends.
Keren t Injuries have handicapped
Rognlien. Tiernan or Rule will be
first choice for wing duty in case
either Harmon or Kognlien are out.
The Montana Grizzlies may rea
sonably be called the “giants” of
the coast conference. Of the squad
of 40, 17 are six-footers or taller.
The two tallest men are Russell Pet
erson and Emil Percy, tackles, each
of whom is six feet and two inches
tall. While a good many giants
make up the personnel of the team,
its captain, Eddie Chinske, quarter
back, is probablv one of the small

Pictured above are live perfectly plausible reasons why Montana
is not doped to win today’s game with Oregon. All five of the men
may see service in the annual Homecoming game which starts at 2:15
p. m. Kitzmiller and Burnell are prominent candidates for all-coast
honors and will have a chance to perform today against a team that
has never faced Oregon before.

Are Football Men Waning in Physique?
<♦ ♦> $ ♦> ♦> <♦ ❖ ♦>
Coach McEwan Negatives Suggestion
You hoar a lot about the rapidly
declining physique of over • fed
America. It is said that men no
longer have the legs to carry on as
did the athletes of old, -and that in
stead of doing something to build
l
j themselves up, men continue to
drive around in soft, plush-lined
automobiles.
‘•It’s not true,” said Captain Me
Ewan. ‘-They used to think it quite
1 a stunt when a team could plajr
through a whole game without mak
ing a substitution. But the game
is different now from that old push
and pull style. It has become so
complicated that it is a hard strain
on the players’ nerves, and that is
why we have to make so many sub
stitutions.”
He explained that it was no long
er considered intelligent to play a
battered and tired star when there

“Committees for the dance arc
rounding out the last preparations
and everything is in readiness for
a wonderful time for all,” Stoddard
reports.
The advance ticket sale is unus

crowd. Men who have not already
bought their tickets are urged to
procure them either at the various

Group Merger Is Topic
F o r Today’s Meeting
Nominations for president and
two vice-presidents were made at a
meeting of Homecoming alumni
held yesterday . afternoon, the open
ing gun of the second convention
of the alumni state board of dele
gates. Homer Angell, ’00, was
elected delegate - at - large at the
meeting.
These nominations will bo passed
on at the regular semi-annual meet
ing of all alumni, to be held at 10
a. m. today in Guild theater. Further
nominations may bo made. Later,
ballots will be mailed to alumni all
over the state, and the offices will
be filled.
Nominations were as follows. For
president:
Clarence Keene, ’90, of Silverton;
Ed Bailey, ’13, of Junction City.
For vice-president, two to be
chosen:
David Pickett, ’13, Portland; Carl
Neal, ’10, ltoaeburg; and Janies
Donald, ’lit, of Baker.
Discuss Relations
A discussion was held of the ques
tions and resolutions to bo brought
up at the regular meeting. A mo
tion was made to have Homecoming
alternate years, the week-end of the
0. A. C. game, and all officers to
continue in office two years. Con
sensus of opinion in the group was
that this change should not be in: j
aiigurated as it would lessen the |
spirit of the association.
They considered taking the big '
games off the campus to Portland,
but decided it inadvisable, and
voiced the opinion that at least the
0. A. C. game should bo played here.
Consider Amalgamation
The question of amalgamating the
medical and alumni associations was j
considered, and a resolution was j
passed that the matter be taken up
at the meeting of the larger group. !
Dr. A. B. Bcttman of Portland, a ■
member of both groups, outlined the
plan. The medical society has ex
pressed its approval, but some mem
bers of the alumni association ob
ject in that it might prove a finan
cial strain to publish the lengthy
proceedings of the medical group.
John ('. Veatch of Portland, and
president for the past year, presid
ed. Margaret Boyer was acting
secretary in the absence of the reg
ular secretary and treasurer, Miss
Jeanette Calkins, who is ill with
the flu. Ed Bailey, of Junction j
City, and one of the two vice-prcsi- |
dents, attended. ,
Others who were present at the
meeting were: It. M. Eekcrson, Cor- !
vallis; Frank I). Matthews, Rose-j
burg; Frank . Carter, Editli* Kerns
Chambers, Dorothy Collier, and Her
old White, all of Eugene; Homer
Angel!, Dr. Leland Belknap, Dean
Hayes, Esther Magley Justice, Da
vid Pickett, and Dr. A. B. Bcttman,
of Portland; Clarence Keene, fcji 1 -
verton; Mrs. Laurence T. Harris of
Eugene was proxy for J. H. Upton
of Bend.
Will Drop From Plane
With Hall for Game
Ernie Stolls, famous low altitude
parachute jumper, will drop from
an airplane thin afternoon with a
football during the half which will
be used for the remainder of the
game, according to Kenton Ilarn
aker, chairman of the Homecoming
feature committee.
This act will be done through the
courtesy (jf the Ilobi Airways Co.
at a surprisingly low altitude, mak
ing it, according to officials, an ex
tremely difficult stunt. It is said
that many times lives arc lost
through this same act, and it is only
on special occasions such as the
University of Oregon Homecoming
that it will be attempted.

bled the Webfoofs
as they vainly
fought to present
the alums with
victory. Today on
Hayward field at
2:15 o’clock, how
ever, the first
Oregon Homecom
ing win in four
years looms when
the Webfoots meet
t li o M o n t a n a
Grizzlies.
Montana’s foot
ball team has
iK'cn aovvn in 1110 mouth all .season,
kicked about by all the teams in
the north, and a possessor of the
collar position of the Pacific coast
conference. Another loss cannot
affect its standing on the coast, but
a victory over Oregon would culmi
nate the Grizzly season in a whirl
of glory.
Webfoots Expect Battle
So it is with everything to win
and nothing to lose that the Mon
tana griddors hurl themselves at the
Webfoots this afternoon in a last
desperate effort to break into the
win column. And it is just this
sort of spirit that is going to make
it a tough afternoon for the Web
foots.
A team so eagerly seeking a win
as the Montana outfit is dangerous
at all times. An ojmeo of over
confidence, a hitch in the offense,
a sudden break may mean defeat
for Oregon against the fast coming
team from the north. But Oregon
has proven itself this year and it is
unlikely that there will bo any
hitches.
Oregon Is Favorite
Oregon is a top-notch favorite to
win, and to win by a large score.
There is always a chance, though,
that an alert underdog team may
spoil Oregon’s hopes for a Home
coming triumph. But there is every
assurance that Oregon will win, and
that the Webfoot team will leave
for Bos Angeles Monday to play
ITcla Thursday one notch higher in
the Pacific coast conference.
A fast, thrilling game is predicted
for this afternoon. Montana cares
little for its defense, and will stake
everything on a wide sweeping of
fense to get the jump on the Web
foots from the first. Oregon, with
its powerful line, should sweep aside
the Grizzlies witli ease and pave the
way to the goal lino for tlie scoring
combination.

Vintage of 1894 Leads Gang Down Ave.
Bang! A tremendous report]
i burst the stillness of the night re

town, and a jet of rod fire shot
dimly upwards through tho fog.
Then another, and another, bang!

I obscurity, and then tho fog was
parted by an auto, a Franklin of

'and all yelling “Oregon! Oregon!

Over town the howling proves- ;

Tho Aggie Beaver heard it and dived
