Serpentine Behind Crates The Oregon men will form in serpentine behind the Campus Crates and will proceed over town in the usual fashion. As the ser- j pentine turns down Willamette street, the men will be furnished with sparklers to add color to the effect.

The winner of the Bristow cup, offered annually for the most at tractive sign, will be decided this evening at 9 o’clock at the An chorage, according to Earl Miller, chairman of the Homecoming fea tures. The judges of the signs will be W. W. Bristow, donor of the cup, Professor Nowland B. Zane, Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, Hugh Biggs, assistant dean of men, and Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women. The cup will be for mally awarded at the senior alumni dance at Gerlinger hall Saturday night. Sign Cost Limited Each house is limited to an ex pense of ?15 in 'the construction of its sign. Itemized accounts of the costs must be turned in to the A. S. U. O. office by 6 o’clock this evening. Any house failing to turn in such an account will be disqualified in the competition. It is expected that the competi tion will be unusually keen this year, as the O. S. C.-Oregon game is always conducive to creative work. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the winner of the cup last year, and Kappa Alpha Theta in 1927. Registration of returning alumni will begin this afternoon at 1 o’clock in the lobby of Johnson bail and will continue until 5 o’clock under the direction of Miss Jeanette Calkins, alumni secre tary. Miss Calkins urges that all alumni returning to the campus i today register this afternoon. This will avoid congestion tomorrow morning.

Dean Straub has seen Ore- | gen noise parades, too, for today j is his fifty-second anniversary of hi3 coming to Oregon, in the sec ond year of the university’s exist ence. “We had fireworks that year,” j the year of that biggest and best parade, he went on. I got them from the father of a Chinese boy j in the class, who was a wholesale dealer in them. There was a huge r.oise parade that year, with thir ty or forty engines, harvesters, and machines. The old grads, both men and women, rode on these machines, shooting off Rofnan candles and sparklers as they went through the streets. One woman, who graduated in 1885, rode in the pa rade and said it was the most fun she had ever had,” Dean Straub remembered writh a smile. “The bonfire that year was on Kincaid field, and was at least a hundred feet high. It was so hot that men were kept on the roofs of the buildings on Kincaid and 13th streets. “I’ll tell you something funny that happened one Homecoming,” he promised, while his listener smiled in anticipation. “In very early days before there were many engines, the freshman boys got an old horse, about 50 years old to pull the wagon they were collect ing boxes in for the Homecoming bonfire. He was so old and weak that, although he was all right when he was moving, every time he stopped two freshman boys had (Continued on Paye Xwoj I Plenty of Pep Awaits Return of Grads YELL WITH KELLY AND GANG \ HOVE is pictured the new Oregon yell staff which will lead the huge noise parade and rally tonight and will direct yells at the battle of the century tomorrow. .Meet Jimmy (Jiibaugh, Harold Kelley, new yell-king, and Treve Jones.

Both grid machines will be in tip top shape for the fight. Which one will win depends a lot upon the fighting spirit they carry into the battle with them.

A successful rally to night will give them a good send-off. livery Oregon student will back the yell staff to the limit. Former Student Body Presidents To Hold Banquet Ex-prexies To Meet With Stoddard Saturday Morning at 8:30 One of the unique affairs of Homecoming week-end will be the annual student body presidents’ breakfast ban quet, at which Tom Stoddard, president of the A. S. U. O., will be host to past presidents of for mer Oregon stu dent bodies. The breakfast ban quet will be held at the Osborn h 0 t e i at 8:3u Tom Stoddard Saturday morn ing. “Present problems of student government are brought up and discussed at these banquests, and general surveys of the history of former student administrations are made by each of the former presidents,” Stoddard said. Stoddard added that the ban quet is always well attended, about twenty of the past presidents be ing expected this year. The only guest of the presidents will be Dean John Straub, who will be the guest of honor. Following are thirty A. S. U. O. presidents, many of whom plan to be here for Homecoming and the banquet: (C. N. McArthur, 1899-1900, deceased); Condon C. McCornack, 1900-01; Dr. Fred J.

Confetti Covered Campus Crowds To Caper Cheerfully The Journalism Jam (short for jamboree), annual all-campus, n > date dance sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, journalism honoraries, will see ti e largest aggregation of campus celebrities, confetti, and cider anil doughnuts ever assembled at the Eugene armory, it was announced last night by T. N. T. Taylor, gen eral chairman of the event. Be low is a cut of the chief with Dorothy Thomas as they will ap pear at the dance. Watch for them. Elise Schroeder, president of Theta Sigma Phi, chortled with glee as she exhibited to the in quiring reporter the mmsu costume in which she will appear at the jam. < At the right is a pic ture of Elbe as she will look. / And then there isr Tom Stoddard, student! body president. Tomy is scheduled to carryE off all prizes, his han-E dlers predict. He is all in favor of bigger and better jama. Fortune telling will provide en tertainment for the lame and the halt, and two winsome journalistic misses, Billie Gardiner and Daisy Swanson, will predict your future and unbury your past. Professor Ralph Casey, of the school of journalism, will attempt to help all the other patrons and patronesses see that the dance is properly chaperoned. Mr. Casey will appear at the jam as. an ex ample of how the native Wiscon sinians dress. The famous Hawaiian crooner who will sing at the jam is re puted to knock out all hearers, faculty included. Don't miss this! A slick floor, plenty to eat, mu sic by a six-piece orchestra, ser pentine and the faculty of the scfipol of journalism will help pro vide an amusing evening. Vinton Hall is lending his crate and a bale of hay to prepare the floor for the thundering herd. RED CROSS DRIVE REPORTED SUCCESS By 5 o’clock last night nine living organizations had already taken out their $5.00 house mem bership in the Red Cross drive which is being sponsored on the campus by the school of applied social science under the leader ship of Dr. P. A. Parsons. Following are the houses that have already purchased member ship: Sigma Chi, Sigma Pi Tau, Alpha Xi Delta, Hendricks hall. Girl's Oregon club, Chi Psi, Gam ma Phi Beta, Sigma Nu and Alpha Phi. A number of other houses have made definite promises of membership and according to all reports the drive has been a huge success, according to Dr. Parsons. Freck Calls for Workers To Aid In Building Areli Crniksliunk To Hung Huge Green Oregon Pennant On High Tower Homecoming Decorations Neur Completion A call for workers to aid in the construction of the big arch across Thirteenth street near Condon hall was issued last night toy Joe * Frock, chairman | of the campus 1 decorations. The J arch was started | yest e r d a y, but I v.' o r k e r s were '? a few and progress * was consequently | slow. The car-1 penter work will I be completed! this morning, an«l the edifice Freck will be covered with the $14 worth of paint which has been purchased for the purpose. At noon today George Cruik shank will put on an exhibition of amateur steeple-jacking when he climbs to the top of the 120 foot steel tower at the new Fine Arts building and hangs a gigan tic Oregon pennant there. This will add a highly original touch to the decorations for this year, something which will be difficult for future directorates to dupli cate. The campus is invited to witness Cruikshank’s spectacular ascent. Will Cost $90 The arch is the one big feature of this year’s decorations and will cost approximately $90. About half of this sum is for the Neon tubing, which will be preserved for use in future years. Next year's decorations committee will be able to construct a similar arch at a nominal cost. Freshmen who are asked by Freck to report at Condon at 8 o’clock this morning for work on the arch are as follow: Gordon McKay, “Doc” Day, Jack Mar shall, Ray Brown, Milton Mauzey, Carl Sendine, Jack Cate, Cecil Cohen, and Horace Eldridge. These men will be excused from work on the big “O” bonfire to aid (Freck's committee on the arch. Admission to O.S.C. Game to Be by 2 Tickets Admission to the O. S. C. game Saturday will be with ex change tickets which may be sec ured at the Co-op by pre senting the regular student body tickets. A request from the assistant graduate man ager, Doc Robnett, asks that studeqts present both tickets at the gates Saturday. Varsity Preparations Complete for Aggies Frosh Ready For Rooks Second Classic of Series Will be Played in Corvallis at 2 O’clock Oregon State Team Will Be Strongest To Take Field Since Bus Crash: Both Teams Improved At 11:30 this morning, Prink Callison will gather his Yearling football team together and take them over to Corvallis, where they are to be featured in a one-day stand co-starring with Dick New man’s Rook gridders. The Frosh got the hook at their last performance and are determ ined that their Corvallis friends will not steal the show from them today. The act under the man agement of Callison has been con siderably improved since it was put on at Medford and it is cer tain that there will be no miscues nor any bad acting today. Rooks Stronger The curtain will be rung up on the stage at Bell field, in Corval lis at 2 o’clock, and the action starts immediately. Coach New man is expected to have his full cast of stars ready for the after- ! noon which by the way will be the first time these eleven first string men have played together since seven of them were hurt while returning from one of the Rooks’ early season games. Their injur ies, incurred in the accident, have all been patched up and the Rook cast for the second showing of the classic will be a stronger one than that presented at Medford. Taking all advance rumors and statements as a whole Corvallis is about to witness a classic, a natural or a real game. Both teams have spent the last week in j working to crack the spot that proved to be their opponents’ weakest point in last Saturday’s game as well as removing their own weaknesses. No Definite Lineup Neither coach has issued a def inite lineup but it is assured that Red McDonald and Don Davis of the Oregon State team will be in at the very beginning. It was through their good efforts that the Rooks were able to overcome the Yearlings in their last en counter. For Oregon, the lineup should be: Johnny Hare and Red Decker, ends; Bill Morgan and Sherwood Billings, tackles; Jack Hughes and A1 Stoehr, guards; Bernie Hughes, center; Cliff Garnett, quarter; Don Watts and George Currie, halves; and Jack Rushlow, full back. Hedlimd Promises Slick Floors for Saturday Dances ‘New Process’ To Remove Stickiness Declares Dance Chairman Both floors for the Homecoming dances to be given Saturday night starting at 9:30 in Gerlinger hall and McArthur court will be in the best of condition for dancing this year, according to Bill Hed lund, who is in charge of the floors. Foard Smith is assisting him. Workers for the decorations and floors of the dances will be se cured by Eleanor Schroeder and Jack Howard who are in charge of the vigilance committee. All underclassmen and juniors must go to the Igloo this year, according to Bill East, general chairman of the dances. Johnny Hobinson will have his Varsity Vagabonds there, instead of at Gerlinger hall as was previously decided. Alumni and seniors will be at ’he woman’s gym and an or ! chestra has been imported for that Alums’ Card Filled to Brim h or Big Week-end Friday, Novomlipr 15 1:00 P. M.

KNIGHTS TO SELL SONGS OF OREGON A limited number of "Songs of Our Oregon,” the new song book published by the Co-op, will be sold at the game Saturday by the Oregon Knights, thus affording the alumni an opportunity to get a complete collection of their old favorites. The book is bound in an attrac tive green and yellow cover and contains 38 pages. Every song that has ever been used by the Oregon student body is included in the publication. "Pretty Little Village,” the first song composed for Oregon, was written in 1900 by President Strong and Irving Glenn. This is the first Oregon song book to be published for five years. The Co-op has bought all copyrights and will keep the songs on the Oregon campus. No Chance to Alter Plans Before Game Erdley, Fletcher, Archer, Wood, Browne Shoot lip Stock on Ends Lineup Secret Till Last Possible Minute The cards are dealt. Very lit tle can be done now by O. S. C. or Oregon to change the odds or make f u rther preparation for the desperate duel tomorrow afternoon. Coach Me Ewan may know just what men he will start in the game, but for policy’s sake ' ne is Keeping it Chuck Williamsto himself. When a starting lineup is made public, it goes direct to the hands of the opposing coaches, and is used by them often with telling effect. The Aggie mentors have a line on each Oregon player in their cross index of the Webfoot organization, and from any given ! lineup can dope out pretty ac j curately just what style of game I to expect. There is no such thing as an Oregon first team, coaches ex plain. There are probably more than 20 Webfoots who would be named by coaches for the honor. Style of attack or defense has ev erything to do with ju3t who will break into the game. Team Has Five Ends The varsity claims five ends, all nearly equal in value to the team, but with more or less wide differences in type. Steve Fletcher is a pass hawk. He has been slowed up until just lately with a bad Charley horse. Jack Erdley is a little weak on passes, but on defense and rough play he is about as good an end as there is on the coast. Woodie Archer is good on de | fense, and has crossed enemy goal lines three times already this j season on long passes. Harry Wood used to play guardv but he was so fast that McEwan shifted him to end. He is a fair pass re ceiver, but his main value is in line work on scrimmage plays. Browne Is Speedy Walt Browne is the speed de mon on the wing men. He is es pecially good at getting down un der punts and long passes. It would take a mighty good half back to sprint around Browne’s end while he is still on his feet. Aside from the quarter-ton ba bies, Colbert and Christensen, who are in a class by themselves, Erv Schulz, Ralph Bates, Marion Hall and Pat Lucas are the outstanding lights at tackle. Alumns, Students To Consume Tons of 'Eats’ at Luncheon -- “Coffee enough to float a bat tleship, food enough to feed the | crew,” were the terms used by Mrs. Maude MacDonald, chief fac totem of the campus commissary, when asked about her share in the preparation for homecoming and homecoming week, j "We've been asked to furnish 4000 cups of coffee for the homecoming luncheon at McArthur court Sat urday noon and another 200 cups for the workers at Hayward field at 11. Besides that, we’ve been furnishing 600 cups a night for ■ the guardians of the “O” on Skin ner’s Butte. Food? My, you should see the stacks of it ordered for next week-end. Southern hams by the bunch, sweet potatoes by the stack. And minced pies!! ; But there, I’m giving away our menu, but you should see the | lovely hot-house tomatoes and green lima beans, JVe are going to have Parker-house rolls, too, 1600 of them, piping hot. “Do they eat much around here, did you say? My, you should see the figures if you don’t think so. Here they are. Look.” One could visualize the thunder ing herd when 5500 pounds of beef charged across the pages of fig ures, five robust steers closely followed by 1200 pounds of gal loping, awkward veals, in turn tailed by a sturdy charge of 1200 pounds of squealing, grunting porkers. And how these college students love their rasher, 400 pounds of bacon and 500 pounds of ham. But one mustn’t get the idea I that collbge students are entirely i carniverous—meat wasn’t the 1 half of it. There was enough milk I used here last month to fill a ' small-sized swimming pool, 6,000 j gallons, enough for 96,000 glasses, (Continued on Pago Two
