NUMBER 28 HOWOMING SPIRIT REIGNS TODAY Webfoots Ready to Tackle Bruins in Today’s Tilt Uclas Present Best Team In School History Southern Men Determined To Give Spears’s Men Hard Battle Duck Lineup Hampered by Injuries Suffered by Backfiebl A powerful Oregon football team is ready for anything that U. C. L. A. may have to offer when the opening whistle blows for the annual Homecoming game to be played at 2:15 this afternoon on Hayward field. , Grimly prepared to fight a des perate battle against the unde feated Webfoots, the Uclans have their best team in history and have definite hopes of winning. They have a scintillating backfield, rated stronger than Oregon’s, and a pair of sparkling ends. The Bruin line is not up to Oregon in defensive strength, but otherwise the teams are fairly evenly matched. Big Norfleet, tackle, is one man who will probably stop Webfoot tacklers. Spears Works Squad Nights Doc Spears has been whipping his Webfoot squad into shape for the battle, after a week of idle ness on the Oregon schedule. The men have been working until after dark every night under the flood lights on Hayward field. Eager to push the Oregon team from its position on the conference schedule, the Uclans are bubbling over with enthusiasm and confi dence. Thirty-four players have been included for the trip, accom panied by Bill Spaulding, head coach; Jim Brader and A. J. Stur zenegger, assistant coaches; Dr. Billy Burke, trainer, and a small but select group of supporters. The Oregon coach has been drill ing his varsity men on defense against U. C. L. A. plays. While the Spaulding team is not reputed to have a great amount of power, the Bruins are expected to uncork a dangerous passing attack. It is against this threat that the Oregon team has been preparing very carefully. Backfield Weak From Injuries The weak spot in the Oregon attack will probably be the full back position, as all three of the men, Ed Moeller, John Donohue, and Jack Rushlow, who have al ternated at that position during the year, are still handicapped with injuries. The men have been able to take part in light work during the past few days, but it is doubtful whether they will start against the Uclans today. Wally Laurence, reserve halfback, who (Continued on Page Two) Lunch Requires Ticket or Cash IN order to eat with the 3500 this noon at the all-eampus Homecoming luncheon, either a student body card or half a dol lar must be presented at the door of the Igloo between 11:30 and 1:30 o’clock. Such is the decree of Dorothy Jean Murphy and her committee in charge of the big feed. Paid alumni can secure free tickets at the registration office in Johnson hall; all others will be forced to comply with the above ruling. All houses and dormitories are omitting the noon meal from their culinary schedules for to day, and the student body will migrate with the alums to Mc Arthur court. Alumni Guests To Be Honored at Big Reception Tonight Living Organizations Will Hold Open House Sunday Alumni guests of the University will be entertained this evening with an informal reception in the Gerlinger building from 8 o’clock until 12, and on Sunday afternoon It 2 o’clock all fraternities, sorori ties, and dormitories will hold open house. Alumni who do not care to at tend the homecoming dance at Mc Arthur court will have an oppor tunity of meeting friends and members of the faculty at the re ception. A musical program will be a feature of the affair, accord ing to Beth Ann Johnson, chair man of arrangements for the an nual alumni reception. The open house at living organ izations is a new idea inaugurated by the homecoming directorate with the support of Miss Jeannette Calkins, alumni secretary. The purpose of this open house is to give visiting graduates a chance to increase their contacts on the campus by visiting a num ber of sororities and fraternities and halls. Formerly alumni have only been entertained by their re spective organizations, and the new plan will provide additional interests for alums, giving them a chance to form the acquaintance ot the students. Reserve Libraries Close For Football Game Today The reserve departments of the library will be closed Saturday af ternoon, November 8, from 1 to 5 p. m. on account of. the Homecom ing football game, The circulation and reference departments will be open as usual. Igloo Will Be Mess Hall for Hungry Students and Alumni Ye hungry grads and starving students! Turn your questing footsteps toward the Igloo any time between 11:30 and 1:30 to day if ye would be fed during the lunch hour. This big all-campus feed is free to all paid alums and to students with student body cards. Don’t forget that last item ’cause the door-men are going to be hard boiled about it this year, says the committee. The University band will parade through the campus, starting from the men’s gym at 11:15 to go to the Igloo. They will play from the platform during the luncheon. The Igloo is coming in for its share of the festivities of the week end, as the Journalism Jam was held there last night, the luncheon will be there £his noon, and the Homecoming dance tonight. Clean up men have been at work since last night and their duties will not be over until Sunday morning. There will be plenty to eat at this luncheon. Quantity and qual ity go hand in hand, with a menu o: 300 gallons of coffee, 7000 sandwiches. 3500 apples, 3500 sal ads, 3500 Hershey bars, a whole keg of pickles, 7000 cookies, and 3500 bags of potato chips. Thespians and Kwamas, fresh man and sophomore women’s hon oraries, will hand out the sealed green boxes containing the food, and will serve the coffee from four different stations. The committee in charge of the luncheon, headed by Dorothy Jean Murphy, has prepared for 3500 so that no one will be turned away hungry. “The living organizations will not serve a noon meal today so ; everyone is invited to the Igloo, 1 and be sure to bring your student j body tickets,” said Miss Murphy. Alpha Beta Chi Chosen Winner In Sign Contest Sigma Pi Tau Gets First Honorable Mention In Competition Phi Sigma Kappa, Omega Hall, Chi Psi Also Given Places Alpha Beta Chi won first place and the W. W. Bristow cup last night in the annual contest for the BB—mm Hobart Wilson severest Home coming; sign. The prize - winning display was a double idea typi fying the high points of this year's Homecom ing, with the two exposures alter nated regularly ey the flashing of lights. Sigma Pi Tau was accorded first honorable men tion by the judges; Phi Sigma Kappa, second; and Omega hall, third; and Chi Psi, fourth. A committee of three judges, consisting of Hugh L. Biggs, dean of men, Wallace Hayden, assistant professor of architectural design, and W. W. Bristow of Eugene, the donor of the cup, evaluated the various entries. In conceding four honorable mentions instead of the three originally planned for, they explained that the outstanding signs ran so closely together in the high merit of the work shown that it was extremely difficult to differ entiate. Friendly Feeling Shown The welcoming signs as a whole are exceedingly good this year, ac cording to the judges, and show more originality and freedom of expression than ever before. The friendly spirit toward the visiting team which is characteristic of this year’s Homecoming also was very well carried out by the com peting groups, they said. With two separate but related angles of Homecoming presented (Continued on Page Two) His Last Home Game Austin Colbert, a plunging, scowling, line-smashing football player, one of the toughest linemen Oregon has ever had, will make his last appearance in a home game today on Hayward field along with his fellow lineman, George Christensen. Captain Kitzmiller is a third of the Oregon stars who is making a last home showing today. Concert of String Quartet Sunday Is Distinct Attraction Ensemble Adds Different Note to Week-end Activities A note quite apart from flam ing “O’s,” football rallies, and re union banquets will be given the Homecoming week-end by the con cert to be given at the music au ditorium Sunday afternoon by the University String Quartet. This concert, which begins at 4 o’clock, will be the first of a series to be given during the winter by this recently organized ensemble, and will give the campus its first chance to hear an ensemble with one of the most distinguished per sonnels in the state. t Ferenz Steiner, violoncellist; Rex Underwood, first violinist; Howard Halbert, second violinist, and Buford Roach, violist, are the four members of the quartet. Steiner is solo cellist with the Portland Symphony orchestra and is a well-known composer and concert artist; Underwood is di rector of the University Symphony orchestra and head of the violin department at the music school; Roach, a graduate of the Univer sity, has been teaching in Eugene for ten years; and Halbert, the youngest artist of the group, has attracted favorable comment for his work as concert master of the (Continued on Page Four) There’s No Place Like Home BURNirvn OF t hi? X V Card Features Will Be Shown At Game Today Rooters Will Offer Stunts For Grads; Pep Rally Held Last Niglit Freshman Bonfire Blazes As Serpentine Reaelies Willamette Street A rooting section 550 strong will offer card stunts between halves of the Oregon-U. C. L. A. game today as a special Home coming feature planned by Mac Miller and George Reischmuller of the rally committee. The grand stand seats will be roped off for the men who want to sit in the card section, but the rooters must wear white shirts to gain admit tance to the special section, ac cording to the rally chiefs. Duck Will Be Shown The card stunts will include the letters U. C. L. A., U. O., and Hello, Grads, and will also show an Oregon duck. Printed instruc tions for the men participating in the stunts will be placed on each of the seats this morning. Oregon rooters got into the rally spirit last night at 7 o’clock, when hundreds of men gathered at the Kappa Sig corner and ser pentined down 11th avenue to Willamette and thence north to the Southern Pacific depot. The Oregon pep band and three trucks filled with noise makers were at the head of the rally parade, which was planned by Bob O'Melveny. The Webfoot yell staff, composed of Johnny Creech, Kelsey Slocum, and Eddie Wells, kept things mov ing. Co-eds Meet Rally Co-eds met the rally serpentine at the depot and set off fireworks distributed by the rally commit tee. The women students also joined in Oregon songs. The Homecoming bonfire, built on Skinner’s butte by the fresh man men, blazed forth at 7:30, just as the serpentine turned into Willamette at 11th avenue. The fire was rushed to completion yes terday by scores of workers. John Henry Nash Donates New Book ‘Nuremberg Chronicle’ on Library Shelf “Nuremberg Chronicle” is the ti tle of the latest book which John Henry Nash, famous printer of San Francisco, has given to the University library. According to M. H. Douglass, University librar ian, this is one of the most valua | ble books the library has acquired recently. The new book has been placed on the special shelf which has been set aside for books given to the University by Mr. Nash, who re ceived a Ph.D. degree from Oregon in 1925. The “Nuremberg Chronicle" is a compilation of ancient chronicles from the beginning of the world to the 15th century. The most fam ous of German illustrated books of that time, it was printed in Nu remberg in 1493. Head of California Dads Arrives for Week-end Rufus H. Kimball, of Palo Alto, California, president of the Cali fornia-Oregon Dads’ association, arrived on the campus yesterday from San Francisco, for a stay of three or four days. He will prob ably return south some time Tues day, taking advantage of the Arm istice day holiday, though he may be called to Seattle on business Monday morning. Mr. Kimball plans to enjoy the Homecoming week-end as a guest of Sigma Pi Tau.

Eliza beth Scruggs will hold the position of secretary for the annual event. International week, which is set aside for observance of foreign af fairs, will be held this year from December 1 to 7.

For Oregon a sixteenth annual Homecoming, the directorate, com mittees, and sub-committees which have been working for the past month toward making the occa sion a success, have filled three days with a rapid-fire series of activities and special features in honor of the alums. Not until Sunday evening will the festivities officially come to a close. Reunion New Idea This fall marks the launching of a new idea behind Homecoming celebrations—that of a University reunion. Students in charge have planned a week-end of greatly in creased contacts for the visiting alumni. In line with this new pol icy are the arrangements for a single all - inclusive Homecoming dance, to be held tonight in Mc Arthur court, and for p. general open house for alumni and alum nae tomorrow afternoon. First on today’s program, the University of Oregon Alumni as sociation will hold its annual con vention and mass meeting at 10:30 this morning in the Administra tion building. This will be fol lowed by the huge campus lunch eon at the Igloo, free to all stu dents and paid alums. Food will be served from 11:30 until 1:30, and from then on all roads will lead to Hayward field, the scene of the Homecoming game—Ore gon’s clash with the Bruins of U. C. L. A. Homecoming Dance Is Climax Climaxing the events of the day in a way peculiarly appropriate to Homecoming, the big student alumni dance is scheduled to make the Igloo once more the focus of activity at 9 o'clock this evening. Rally decorations, combined with music by Cole McElroy’s Sere naders, an eight-piece band from Portland, will carry the Homecom ing enthusiasm through to the finish. The decorations will be in the Oregon colors, with a thousand green and yellow balloons hung from the ceiling ready for release toward the end of the dance. The orchestra, which is the same one that played for the sophomore in formal, and has been brought from Portland especially for the occasion, will wear Oregon rooters’ (Continued on Page Two) Oregon Grad Reads Emerald In Far-Off Chicago School Another proof that Oregon grad uates like to hear the songs of their alma mater, and even show an interest in back numbers of the Emerald is a letter to Vinton Hall from Jim Sharp, student of the University in 1928, who is now in Hammond, Indiana. As one of few Oregon students to witness the game between Ore gon and Drake at Soldiers stadium in Chicago early this fall, he writes, “When the Drake band played 'Mighty Oregon,’ this boy was right on his feet. The thrill I got from the song was not dulled by the year’s absence from Ore gon. There were only four others standing in the east stands, which had been designated as the Ore gon stands. I knew only one of them, my friend Carol Eberhart, who is an assistant in the psy chology department at Northwest ern again this year. "One of the greatest sights was to see the ‘ear-to-ear smile’ on Johnny Kitzmiller’s mother after the game. She was proud and rightfully so, of the Flying Dutch man," Mr. Sharp writes, giving the reader the impression that he is rather proud of Johnny, too. Besides subscribing for the Em erald for this year, with the re quest that he get the back num bers, Jim also said he was hunt ing for a 1929 Oregana, showing that his interest is not only in the University’3 present and future, but also in its past. He is attending Chicago univer sity, and expects to enter law school next fall. While on the campus Mr. Sharp was chairman of the music committees for the Frosh Glee in ’27 and the Sopho more Informal in '28, besides win ning a Jewett prize in oratory, He is a member of Alpha Tau Omega.
