Side T ines Secret Practice in Order • « • • Oregon State Takes a Poke . . Contract with Gaels Extended -By Harry Van Dine CECRET practice for tljc varsity football team has been insti tuted by Captain John McEwan. Webfoot mentor, who is endeavor ing to prepare his charges for the important Idaho game, to bo played in Portland October 19. Last night was the first time this year that spectators were exclud ed from Hayward field, but the move was a very logical one. With a new assortment of plays being taught to the varsity squad, Coach McEwan isn’t taking any chances on any of his tricks leak ing out before the Vandal battle. Almost all major football coaches make a practice of holding secret practice and Oregon students should cooperate with Coach Mc Ewan in his policies. # * * < W^E read with much interest that ’’ the university band, which has been completely reorganized, will make its first public appear ance at the Oregon-Willamette game this Saturday. For the past few years we have been vainly striving to place a first class band on the field, and this year we should realize our ambitions in that respect. Every big college in the country has its band and we should actively support our own organization. We think that every real Oregon student will agree with us when we say that there is nothing that will do more to create pep at a game than will a big, blaring band. The Oregon horn-tooters will have fifty-five in the organization and should be able to create plenty of noise. «! * * QUR always friendly rivals, Ore gon State college, have begun attacking our football team from a different angle this year. To those of us who were in school last year and who helped change th’eir minds about certain habits, it will seem a little weak on their pkrt to try to hold Oregon up for ridicule in the columns of the Bar ofactor. However, that’s exactly what is being done, and being a newspaper for University of Ore gon students, we will reprint a few choice words from the Barom eter of October 9. Most Oregon students will take it with a grain of salt. It will go a little better. JJERE it is—“Eugene sports philosophers have finally an swered that most annoying ques tion the defeat at Palo Alto last Saturday in a manner most sat isfactory to the entire student body at Oregon. They have done it in such a convincing manner that little room is left for doubt ‘The heat done it, folks, the heat done it,’ sob out the Oregon sports writing contingent. . . . The only suggestion we feel able to make to the Oregon eleven is thnt they might try counteracting heat with heat and to remind the boys over at Eugene that perhaps their foot ball team perhaps, understand their team wasn't hot enough in ternally to do that.’’ # # * ^VF COURSE there are a few more complimentary remarks, but we will venture to say that we have seen the rival school’s team when they didn't look too hot. The fact of the matter is that when Coach McEwan brought hiS VVebfoots home he frankly stated that old Pop Warner had, by far, the best team, in fact one of the best he had ever seen. As far as we are concerned, in the issue of October 5, we wished the Aggies good luck in their game with Southern California. Wonder if the Corvallis writer considers his stories in the right light of pro gressive journalism. * * <! ri'iflE two year agreement with St. Mary's college has been lengthened to four years, accord ing to announcement by Jack Ben efiel. This is a real forward step in Oregon athletics as the Gaels are always rated among the strongest teams in the country. The first game of the series will bo played in San Francisco this Thanksgiving day, and the south ern suad will travel north to meet Oregon in Portland next year. An endeavor is to he made to stage the Oregon-Stanford game in Port land next year, also, and, if this is done, residents of the Rose City will have an opportunity to view two of the nation’s best teams in action. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Delta Zeta announces the pledg ing of Elinor Nessenson of Ta coma, Wash.; Myrtle Kerns of Klamath Falls, Ore., and Cather ine Allison of Poitland.

'll OREGON’S CHAMPION TENNIS TEAM TAKES NATIONAL TOUR Oregon, by reason of sending her Coast Conference champion ship tennis team to the major tennis tournaments all over the United States last summer, proba bly enjoys more prominence at this time than any other school in collegiate tennis. The four stars of the Oregon varsity, Sherman Lockwood, Bradshaw Harrison, Stanley Almquist, and Henry Neer, exhibited such consistently fine skill as to receive enthusiastic comments in local papers where ever they played. Almquist and Neer, by reach ing the cpiarter-finals in the Na tional Intercollegiate tournament are now fifth in national college doubles ranking. The Oregon tennis squad left Kugene for San Antonio, Texas, in time to meet the University of Texas, June 1. Oregon broke even with Texas, winning three matches and losing three. This was a re markable feat considering the Webfoots’ long train ride in swel tering heat and the fact that they only arrived on Friday, the day before the meet. Because the courts were wet the Oregon play ers had no workouts before the meet on Saturday. Also the tourn ment was late in getting under way and the last matches had to be played after dark under flood lights. On the following Monday, June 3, the Texas State and sectional tournament started. Harrison and Lockwood lost the doubles title to Bell and White, ranking col legiate doubles team in the Unit ed States. Neer and Almquist went to the quarter-finals in doubles and Bradshaw Harrison went to the semi-finals in singles. The team went to Baltimore from Texas, to enter the Mary- ! land state tournament. Oregon made a fine showing in this meet. I Harrison went to the finals in sin gles, losing to Eell in four sets, i Lockwood and Harrison lost in ! the doi bles finals to Bell and Barnes in three deuce sets. Neer and Al. iquist went to the semi finals in doubles. From Maryland the Oregon play ers journeyed over to Wilmington, Delaware, to enter the Delaware state meet. In the quarter-finals of this meet Almquist and Neer met Hall and Mercury. The first two sets were even and in the third Almquist and Neer were leading 5-2. But Hall and Mer cury staged a terrific battle, won five straight games and the match. Harrison went to the semi-finals in singles. The National Intercollegiate tennis meet started at Haverford, Penn., June 24. Lockwood and Harrison drew the first ranking doubles team in the first round and were eliminated. The men they lost to, Gorchakoff'and Kus man went on and won the cham pionship. Neer and Almquist lost in the quarter finals to Pare and Magin. The scores for both sets were 9-7, although the Oregon team had had both sets 5-3 in its favor. Almquist and Neer both went to the fourth round in singles play. After this tournament the four Oregon men divided and traveled around to different meets on their own hook only meeting up at dif ferent times. They all arrived home about the 15th of Septem ber. The heat bothered the Oregon men more than anything else al though Lockwood was never in the best of condition on account of the collision with a fire engine he had during the spring. They had a great time and say that this story of their conquests can't be finished now but should be con tinued till next year. Sophs Don Whipcords At Washington State PULLMAN, Wash., Oct. 8.-— Sophomore class distinctions at the Washington State college for this year are to consist of gray whipcord pants with the class nu merals just below the watch pocket for the men, and special distinction sweaters for the girls. HOMECOMING BIGGER EVENT THIS YEAR (Continual from Page One) heavy that the sales committee is not planning to promote the extensive ' advertising campaign throughout the state that usually precedes a game of this sort. The seating capacity of Hay ward Field has been materially in creased by the addition of circus bleachers around the south end of the gridiron, but it is expected that even the extended facilities will be taxed to the utmost by the crowd of students and alumni of both schools who will witness the game. The general campus luncheon on Saturday noon will be hold in McArthur court as it was last year. NON-KESIDENTS PAY ! HEAVY TUITION FEES (Continued from l’ltf/r One) $6.00 for a broken window. These bring the total sent the treasurer ! to $143,906.55. Receipts from the state funds for the year were under five head ings: current expense, millage tax. Villard interest, land fund inter est, and university printing ac count $1,394,653.77. So far, we have seen where the building fund goes, and where the registration fees go. We still have infirmary fees, student activities, and physical education to trace. Let us assume that the physical education fee goes for laundry, j suit replacement, and equipment. I Lot us also postpone the student I activities until the report for the last year is finished. (It is now at the printer’s.) So we have the j infirmary. Classified under expenditures from state funds, there is “Health i Service,” which we translate to mean Infirmary. Salaries and wages took $16,451.66; general ex pense, $185.77: operating expense. $6,950.21; maintenance, $18.00, and capital outlay, $1,081.40. The to tal, $21,687.04, is comparable to student outlay of $24,237. i (Next we will turn to expendi ture for schools and department.-' wages, salaries, maintenance.)

Game Will he Used For Polishing Simple Attack System No Serious Casualties Are Hindering Progress The varsity practice last night was closed to casual spectators. Only the steady customers such as Professor Howe, Dr. Crosland, ■ Professor Clark and a few sports : Uoinhart writers were permitted inside Hayward field. It isn’t prob able that Coach McEwan intends to make any drastic changes in his formations or plays. By this time every year the team has progressed well enough with the more sober vari eties of attack methods to permit the coaches to add a few frills. In the old days it was quite common for teams to go through whole seasons with no more than eight or ten good plays. Except , at the first of the season these J days, such a thing would be prac tically impossible. Expect New Plays With every game played it is customary to vary the whole at tacking system somewhat. When the old plays have been mastered, new ones are added. Ey the end j of a long season such as Oregon will have this year, the players might be expected to perform like a troupe of Russian jugglers. Tt is hardly probable that any but the simplest of bucks and passes will be used Saturday against Willamette, but just wait Varsity Grid Squad Practice to be Secret AN announcement was made last night from varsity football headquarters that se cret practice would be held at | least until the Idaho game, No vember 19. Coach John Mc Ewan is working his Webfoot grid squad overtime in an effort to straighten out the weakness es of the team and fans should cooperate with the officials in their decision to have workouts behind closed gates. Mike Gray, head football manager, stated that absolutely no one would be permitted to enter the field. till next week when the varsity takes a crack at the Idaho Van dals. Although Oregon is a favorite for the Northwest championship this year, it is hardly to be ex pected that the Webfoots will be able to open up on the Vandals with anything like an array of 1898 plays, because the spud-dig gers are regarded as the dark horse outfit of the conference. Most of the players have sur vived the two rough workouts against the frosh this week ■ in great shape. Hal Hatton seems to be the worst hit with a Charley horse. Willamette Grid Squad Yields to Dan Cupid Willamette University — (P. I. P.)—Coach "Spec” Keene, Willam ette mentor, is undecided whether he is coaching a football team, or a school for matrimony. So far, seven first-string men have yield ed themselves to the stern yoke of matrimony. If this practice continues, Spec may combine the Kimball Theology school with the athletic department. Only four more men are needed to give Wil lamette university and the Pacific northwest its first all married football team. $ LIGHT COLORFU WARM ' .
