opening event of the week-end, at
6:30 o’clock.
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. Alumni will be given
tickets to the blomecoming lunch
eon and dance as they register.

"Grand Old Man of Oregon’
On Campos Fifty-two Years
“The biggest and best Home-1
coming bonfire and noise parade
the university has ever had was '
six or seven years ago, when I |
was in charge of the freshman
class,” Dean John Straub, grand j
old man of Oregon, was reminisc
ing on past Homecoming celebra
tions. 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

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

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.

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,
