Yesterday afternoon they started drifting back to the cam pus for the tre m e n d o u s and boisterous rally staged last night, for the luncheon at McArthur court today, for the Homecoming dance tonight, and most of all for the reopen ing of the war fare between Keith Hall Oregon ana the Oregon State Aggies at Hayward field this aft ernoon at 1:30 o’clock. The big green and yellow arch *with its red Neon work was com pleted yesterday afternoon and blazed forth its welcome to the Homecomers all .last night. The strings of green and yellow pen ne.nts strung across Thirteenth street add to the festive effect, and the clever and colorful signs constructed by each house and hall of the campus complete the true Homecoming atmosphere. Registration of the returning alumni was begun yesterday aft ernoon at Johnson hall, and the process will continue all this morn ing. At 9:30 o’clock the official delegates to the 1929 Alumni con vention will meet in the Guild theater to transact the business of the association and elect new officers, and a meeting of all re turning alumni will be held there at 10:30. The girl3 working under Ed wina Grebel, chairman of the Homecoming luncheon, will start serving at McArthur court at 11 o’clock and will continue until 1.

Soviet Film To Be Viewed Here Monday Evening public Invited To See Russian Movie in Villard Hall A Russian film will be shown on next Monday night’s program of the International Relations club. The showing will be given in Villard hall and will be open to the public, though it will be of special interest to geography and man and his environment classes, according to Dr. Warren D. Smith, who procured the films. The picture entitled “The Soviet Union at Work,” deals with the scenery of Russia, and with its in dustries. It is released by the Amtorg Trading corporation with headquarters at Moscow, but act ing in America through its New York office. ‘ED’S CO-ED’ TO BE SHOWN TONIGHT All the disappointed alums who did not get to see the first show ing of “Ed's Co-ed” last night will be overjoyed to learn that there are still seats available for tonight’s show, although, accord ing to Hal Johnson, manager of the ticket sale, the seats are go ing fast. The performance will be exactly the same tonight as it was last night. It will start immediately after the Homecoming dances. Oregon, O.S.C. and U. of W. Sponsor Intercollege Dance 'J'HE first intercollegiate dance in history uniting the Univer sity of Oregon, University of Washington, and Oregon State college will be held in Portland on Friday, November 29, the night following Thanksgiving, it was announced Friday. The Masonic Temple, West Park and Taylor streets, has been selected as the place to hold the dance, and the affair will begin at 9 o’clock, with the music being furnished by George Weber and his band. Student leaders on all three campuses are backing the dance and are urging the fullest cooper ation from their respective stu dent bodies, in order that the i dance may be a success and be established as a tradition. Announcements r>f the dance, which are now being distributed, state that the committee in charge is planning to make it the gala event of the year, and urge all students to attend as a demonstra tion of their amity for other col leges of the northwest. Those who are representing Oregon on the committee are: Tom Stoddard, A. S. U. O. presi dent; Helen Peters, president of the Women's league; Bernice Woodard, Paul Hunt, Gladys Clausen, Dave Mason, Bernice Hamilton, John Anderson, Keith Hall, Alice Morrow, Walt Nor blad, Jim Travis, Crosby Owens, , Harold Kelly, Omar Palmer, Brian Mimnaugh, and Jim Dezendorf. S. A. E. Wins Trophy for Leading Sign Green, Yellow Clad Farmer Used as Feature for Prize Winner Five Houses Named for Honorable Mention A green and yellow clad farmer boy energetically milking an alto gether contented cow who chewed her cud complacently won for Sigma Alpha Epsilon the Bristow trophy in the annual Homecoming Sign contest. This is the second year in succession that the S. A. E.’s have captured the cup. The sign is one of the most in genious ever constructed on the Oregon campus, both from the point of design and mechanical ac tion. Above the figure is the Homecoming slogan, “Home to Honor Oregon,’’ and below is the caption, “Cream for Our Coffee.” Many Clever Signs The judges of the sign contest stated that there were so many clever signs this year that it was j almost impossible to decide among! them. However, five others were selected for honorable mention be cause of some significant features. Sigma Nu was awarded first hon orable mention, Alpha Chi Omega second, Phi Gamma Delta third, Alpha hall fourth, and Zeta Tau Alpha fifth. The Sigma Nu sign, which is especially notable for the lighting effects, depicts an orange O. S. C. ship on the rocks before a green Oregon lighthouse. Alpha Chi’s Sign Good The Alpha Chi Omegas present a large football player, about twice life size, before a back ground of a filled stadium. Com 1 pleteness and accuracy of detail is a characteristic of this sign. The Fijis won honorable mention with a representation of a beaver being roasted by a group of Ore gon cannibals. The Alpha Hall sign is also cleverly worked out. It presents two buildings, one la beled Schissler’s Stables and the other Oregon’s Beaver Mill. The Beavers are going into the mill and are emerging in the form of the well-known weiners. Zeta Tau Alpha’s sign represents a pirate ship with a blackguard duck forc ing an unfortunate beaver to walk the gang-plank. C. G. HOWELL MAKES POETRY RESEARCH Research work on the poetry of Emile Verhaeren occupied Charles 1 G. Howell, of the romance lan guage department, last summer. Mr. Howell studied at Syracuse, I New York, making a particular study of Verhaeren’s aesthetic theories, especially those set forth in “Les Villes Tentaculaires.” Verhaeren, a Belgian poet wh( was killed in a railroad acciden during the war in 1916, has prob ably written better verse thai any of his contemporary writers, 1 according to Mr. Howell. At the same time that Verhaeren is known as a great writer of French poetry, he is also typically Flem ish, and all of his early poems deal with life in that part of Flanders. ' H Confident “The squad is filled with fight today,” smiles Captain Johu J. McEw&n, head coach of the Ore gon squad. He feels confident of j the superiority of the Webfoot lineup over that of their oppo nents. Order of O Ready To Entertain All Stars of Gridiron Feed To Be Held at Campa Shoppe Tonight; Will Be Stellar Event Headed by Dr. Howard Keene of Silverton as toastmaster, with all j athletic coaches and the football. team as guests, the Order of the “O” is planning the biggest Home-1 coming banquet staged in many | years. The feed, at which all active and alumni lettermen are to be pres ent, will be given at the Campa Shoppe at 6:30 o’clock tonight. Short, snappy speeches will be the feature of the after-dinner program, Bradshaw Harrison, president of the order, announces. Features of an entertainment na- ] ture will be given by Mac Miller,i “Slugger” Palmer and Fletcher! Pyle. Joe Bally is handling decor ating for the event. All lettermen will gather at the south goalposts on the frosh foot-, ball field before today’s game and! march in the field in a body, form ing the traditional Order of the “O” parade led by the band. : Frosh Smash Rooks, 31-19 In Fast Tilt Oregon Yearlings Stage Furious Onslaught in Second Half AGGIES LEAD AT HALF Rushlow, Currie Shining Lights in Fast Game At Corvallis By JACK BITRKE Taking the aggressive in the second half, after being chased all over Bell field at Corvallis by an inspired Rook team, Coach Prink Callison's freshman eleven reverted to their old time form and ran wild throughout the last two periods to finish their season in a blaze of glory with a 31 to 19 victory over their traditional rivals. The Frosh were outplayed in every department of the game during the first two quarters and showed that they needed the tongue-lashing which they must have received during the rest per iod. The Frosh scored first, taking advantage of a blocked kick which gave them possession of the ball in their opponents’ territory. Af ter Garnett and Currie had alter nated packing the ball, Watts took it over the six yard line on a lateral. Rooks Get Going Then the Rooks got started, Little, Davis, and Ramponi car ried the ball through or around the Frosh line at will. The year lings seemed to have forgotten how to tackle and things looked bad. They did hold once, how ever and forced Davis to boot over a beautiful place kick from the 25 yard line. Both teams scored touchdowns in the second quarter, Rushlow accounting for Oregon’s and Ramponi being responsible for the Staters’ when he snagged a pass right under the noses or Gar nett and Jack Hughes. What Callison said during the half may never be known but it must have been plenty, for the Oregon team that started the sec ond half, though composed of the same men who had finished the first was different in some ways. They tore around like mad and in a short time had tied the score at 19 all. This score was made when Johnny Hare came from the midst of about four Rooks to snag Rushlow’s pass over the goal line. Rushlow Shows Way From this point on, it was all Oregon. Like the Yearlings in the Medford game the Rooks seemed to have lost all their fight and the Frosh backs had things pretty much their own way. The last two scores were made by Jack Rushlow on line plunges. That sounds easy enough but it re (Cnvtinued on Pape Turn) Probable Starting Lineups Oregon Reserves-Wood 29, Carter 1, Park 38, West 39, French 25, Heyden 51, Anater 54, Browne, 53, Hall 44, Schulz 33, Lucas 41, Bates 10, Fletcher 32, Sherrell 52, Robinson 15, Wil liams 18, Donahue 27, Spear 28, Shearer 12, Londahl »19, Moeller 45, Johnson 17.

Student Meets Death on Road to Game Byron Petit, Oregon City, Killed in Wreck; Sister Severely Injured Byron Petit, 22, of Oregon City, and former Oregon State college student, was killed almost instant ly last night about midnight while on his way to the Homecoming game when the car in which he was riding skidded on the moist ened pavement near Junction City and was hit broadside by an on coming machine. Ruby Petit, his sister, was se verely injured by a cut on the head and was taken to the Eu gene hospital. A third occupant of the car, Albert Petit, a cousin, escaped uninjured. Byron attended Oregon State college last year and was a mem ber of the Oregon State wrestling team. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Petit of Oregon City. His brother, Howard, is a student on the Oregon campus and is em ployed as pressman on the Oregon Daily Emerald.

B. C. is about to meet one of the toughest Oregon elevens in history this afternoon at 1 .lit) on Hayward field. Oregon’s reputation, however, is but a meager factor in de termining the odds for the game. The Beavers know exactly what they are up against, and as under dogs they are danger ous to fool with. “Beat Oregon; Tt's a Habit” is not smeared over the little town of Corvallis this year for Webfoots to laugh at. There are no habits to break today; there are left only several thou sand Orange and Black hearts. H Kappa Sig, Fiji Win Prizes in Racket Contest Manure Spreader Named Noisiest of the Many Clanking Floats A common but useful agricul tural implement commonly known as a manure spreader, bearing the somewhat vulgar caption "O. A. C. Band Wagon," scored close on to 49 per cent in cleverness at the big Noise Parade ■ on Willam ette street last night and won for its sponsors, Kappa 'Sigma and Phi Gamma Delta, the two cups offered to the houses entering the noisiest and most colorful float. Although the manure spreader was one of the salient points in the Kappa Sig-Fiji float, it was by no means all. In the implement, which was in motion and well loaded with—straw—rode a foot ball player labeled ‘‘Before.’’ Be hind, borne on a stretcher, was the remains of a player entitled "After.” Many Noise-Makers And the float was also quite well supplied with noise-making qualities. On the truck which pulled it was an assortment of circular saws, triangles, and a bass drum which were hammered vig orously by husky young students. A tremendous excavating ma chine entered by Friendly hall and Psi Kappa was awarded honorable mention in the contest. The ex cavator, an efficient noise-maker in itself, bore on the shovel a (Continual on rune Vive) • wehtoots to take the neld this Afternoon for the starting kick off are: Archer and Erdley, ends; Christensen and Colbert, tackles; 'Shields and Lil lie, guards; For sta, center; Ma son and Browne, halfbacks; Kitz i;miller, quarter back ; and Moel ^ler, fullback.

Chuck Wil liams, too, will see a lot of action this afternoon. The varsity has neon working like a crew of entombed miners in preparation for the Aggies during the past two weeks, and have hammered themselves into the best condition of the season. If plays are run off by the Web foots today as they have in prac tice lately, the Beavers may imagine themselves up against a clock with a catapult for a main spring. O. S. C. games are notably hard on linesmen. The shouldef to shoulder pounding and crunching along the forward wall is so fierce that even the most rugged of line gangs need occasional assistance from the bench. Ralph Bates, Erv Schulz, Mar ion Hall, and Pat Lucas will be chewing hunks out of their hel mets in a frenzy to get into the tackle positions. Three reserve ends, Fletcher, Wood, and Walt Browne, are go (Continued on Pope Four) Captive Beaver and Drum Lead Oregon in Big Rally BLACK wooden beaver on an orange board, and a gigantic bas3 drum were on prominent dis play last night when the men and women of Oregon assembled to march over town and launch one of the greatest outburstings of noise and Oregon Spirit ever ex perienced in Eugene. Common place as these trophies seemed, they nevertheless have a story that binds them close to Oregon traditions and the history of war fare between the Webfoots and the Aggies. These were not always in the possession of the University of Oregon, as they were last night. Long ago, almost too long to be remembered, they were the prop erty of the Oregon Agricultural college. The beaver was captured from the Aggies by a group of ambitious students of the Univer sity of Washington one time when those two institutions met on the gridiron, and later, by a similar coup, passed from Washington to Oregon. The drum was captured directly from the Aggies by the Webfooters and has been since re tained. These two trophies in the front lines of the parade last night aided in fanning the Oregon spirit to a white heat. The band, second in line, helped things, as did the Campus Crates, some proceeding under their own power and some pushed along by husky Oregon ians. But the real Oregon spirit was in the serpentine that wound back and forth across Eleventh street to Willamette and down Willam ette to Seventh. Those students who made up the serpentine were (Continued on Pape Two) GREETINGS, GRADS! YOU’RE KINGS OF THE CAMPUS NOW
