Armistice Day Anything But ' Holiday For Ducks; Spears Orders Players Out Twice Oregon Mentor Prays for Fast, Dry Field Next Saturday for Homecoming Struggle Armistice day may have been £ holiday for most of the studenl body but it was just another day ol hard drill for the Webfoot gric squad. Two practice sessions, one called at 9 a. m., and lasting until after noon and a light session ir the afternoon when the players lis tened to Spears explain new plays As usual the freshmen furnished opposition for the varsity. Cleai skies and a fairly dry field seemed to give the Ducks more pep than usual and Doc Spears seemed to be in a more optimistic mood than he was earlier in the week. A dry, fast field will increase Oregon’s chances greatly next Saturday, the good doctor believes. Hughes May Get on Perhaps another reason for the high spirits displayed in the last two workouts was the recovery of Bernie Hughes, regular guard. While Hughes is still a long way from being in first class shape he has discarded crutches and cane and according to Trainer Bill Hay ward, may be in condition to play Saturday. Gee and Nilsson, the other Webfoot casualties, are re ported as being able to play. Spears -was in such fine spirits Tuesday night that he joined in the scrimmage and took a defens ive position against the first stringers. After he broke up a number of plays the Webfoot backs began to spill him, but he came up with a smile. Drill in both offensive and defensive play took up most of the workout held Tuesday night. The drill was held in the darkness. Schedule Changes Oregon Electric Ry.

Several new for mations, which the Orange mentor | has been saving for the Webfoot j tilt, were also being perfected in hopes of surprising the Ducks. Seven Orangemen will end their conference careers in Saturday’s game. These are Buck Hammer, captain for the contest, Harry Kent, Jack Cox, Floyd Root, Bill Byington, Snowy Gustafson, • and Barney Carlson. All will have completed their three years of con ference participation. Intramural Rifle Match Completes First Tilt Today ROTC Unit To Present Cup.

Italy7s Armistice Day November 4 Says Nella Roster Like all the other nations in volved in the World war, which were having a hard time carrying the burden of fighting, the Ital ians were more than glad that the armistice was called, according to Miss Nella Roster, guest student of the A. W. S., from the Univer sity of Florence, Italy. “But we celebrate Armistice day on the 4th of November and not on the 11th as you do in America,” she said, “because it was on this very day that we won a signal vic tory—the ‘Vittorio Veneto,’ from the Austrians against whom we fought most of the time ever since we entered the war." Miss Roster stated that Novem ber 4 is an official holiday in Italy, but even if it is their Armistice day, it is celebrated rather differ ently than the way it is in the rest of the world. In Rome, there is usually a parade, to the tomb of the unknown soldier, a monument which Miss Roster describes as simply beautiful. Armistice day in Florence, Miss Roster said, is observed with a high mass given at the “Santa Croce,” a famous cathedral where the remains of Italy’s renowned men, who had done wonderful work in literature, sciences, and arts, are kept. Among these distinguished men are Galileo and Dante who have mausoleums in the cathedral. Reunion Banquet Planned By National Law Library The reunion banquet being planned by Phi Delta Phi, national law honorary, for Saturday night at the Eugene hotel offers every promise of being well attended by alumni members, William Knight, president, believes. Letters of acceptance of invi tations are being received in® every mail. Those working on the pro gram will have definite plans made by the middle of the week. The dinner is intended to be an annual event in connection with Oregon homecoming, according to the president.

The Armistice holiday yesterday | put another crimp into the intra mural basketball tournament and j added to the troubles incurred i when the Igloo was put out of commission for the donut hoop play due to two scheduled dances this week. With six games scheduled for play in the men’s gym yesterday, not one was played. Two or three squads were willing to play, but they could get no cooperation from their supposed opponents. The sked, already in a hashed condition when McArthur court was declared out this week as far as basketball play was concerned, was further balled up. Next week 1 O.S.C. Backfield Threat will see postponed games galore and the Igloo available. The results of Tuesday's con tests follow: S. A. M. took Sigma Chi to the cleaners and showed them that 23 points are better than 10 as far as winning games is concerned; S. P. T. outfought Chi Psi by a score of 24 to 18; the Pi Kaps got credit for a win without any exertion on their part when International house forfeited the game, incidentally, their sec ond forfeit this season; S. P. E. also put a game on the right side of the ledger without any trouble by taking a forfeited game from the Alpha hall quintet. IN THE PRESS BOX with Walt Baker ==================== H E unexpected has come to happen at last! U. C. L. A. turned around yesterday and performed the trick of becom ing the only Coast confer ence school to take the measure of St. Mary’s. The 12-0 defeat rather puts a new outlook upon the Oregon situation for the coming part of the 1931 season as Oregon plays both these teams in the next two weeks. v Heretofore, the northern dope sters figured that Che Webfeet would run into their toughest op position in the form of the Gaels and that the Bruin game would be more or less of a breeze. Perhaps they can sit up nights now and figure out yesterday’s scorq, Looks as if the baby of the Coast confer ence has at last made himself heard in conference football and from next season on will create more than just a ripple in these parts. At any rate, now is the time for the good Dr. Spears to start thinking on the upset and try to dope out if St. Mary’s backsliding since tl\e powerful start at the first of the season is only tempor ary and whether or not the Bruins can put out the brand of football that they displayed yesterday against Oregon a week from now. UTAH BUSY If we were to turn prophet at the present time and attempt to guess the coming weather condi tions that have a chronic habit of upsetting even the best of them, it would be practically the same as an attempt to tell you the final score of the game. Here we have Oregon, praying for sunshipe or at least a dry field so that the Web feet may win a ball game; and there, at Corvallis you have Schis sler, who, since Oregon’s on one side of the fence, must necessarily be on the other, burning incense for rain by the buckets-full. Nice friendly people and still they got together and will play a benefit game against Utah. Utah, inci dentally, will have its hands full also this Saturday scouting both teams. There’s the indecision of it they don’t know who’s going to win and consequently who they will play, therefore, the solution is a couple of scouts to take in the style of play of both teams.. * * * I FROSH FAVORED OVER RIVALS Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and the big question for the football rqinded is whether the fact will ap ply to the Frosh or to the Rooks their game being piayed qn that night. The old jinx is sure to be working and something will be bound to happen. A brand new ap pearance of the Rooks may have some help toward stemming the tide of the victorious Frosh, al though from the game they put J out it will take no little shifting and bolstering to do the job. It takes a little something to cope with a line that averages 189 and a bunch of reserves that are just the same way. All injuries are out of the way and Callison will probably have all his big guns ready for action next Friday. Yes, it looks like the Rooks have walked under the ladder this year because for the first time in a long while the Frosh look like a decidedly bet ter team. * *• * NILSSON, HUGHES OUT The Doctor is also having his little worries. Yesterday he seem ed pretty certain that neither Nils son, huge tackle, or Bernie Hughes, guard, would be in the starting lineup due to injuries The main problem at the present time is just who's going to fill their shoes against O. S. C. ? The best bet for Nilsson’s position will probably be Oliver Pope, a 185-pound sopho more, who has shown lots of im provement since the first of the year. For Hughes will probably be either Red Wilson or Howard Clark. Nilssons appearance in the game at all is extremely doubtful but there's a chance that Hughes may show for part of it. Here’s a big hole in the Oregon line as these two boys have been right on their toes all season and their absence gives Spears just another thing or two to add to the list of what’s on his mind at the present time. YMCA Financial Campaign Closes at Meeting Tonight The financial campaign of the University Y. M. C. A. will close officially at a final meeting to be held tonight at 7:30 in the Y hut, J R. B. Porter, secretary, announced ] Tuesday. All men having cards out are requested to see every prospect be fore that time and return the cards to Jay Wilson, finance chairman at the meeting. Prizes will be awarded to the man turning in the largest number of subscriptions and to the man who has received the largest amount of money. Frank Little, one of the many flashy ball-carriers who will face Oregon this Saturday in an Oregon State uniform. k-— Emerald's Radio Hour to Present Dramatic Series The Emerald of the Air, a pro gram broadcast over KOBE every day from 4 to 4:15 p. m., an nounces the beginning- of drama programs to add a feature to the broadcast. To those who have such literary ability and to the others who might feel that way, the amazing offer to have your favorite manu script put on the air is extended. "If the student cooperation makes it possible, these plays will be broadcast every other week,” stated Ethan Newman, who is in charge of the drama department of the program. The plays must be adaptable to radio broadcasting, must be with in the 15-minute period, and must be of comedy or melodrama cali ber. A similar program feature was broadcast last year, but was of a serial variety. “Guilfin and His Gal,” by Bob Guild was a series of plays indulging in campus com ment and scandal. Anyone interested in this offer is asked to get in touch with Mer lin Blais, editor of the program, or Ethan Newman. Eugene Is Made Neal for Homeeoming Week-End In order to give the many thou sand visitors in Eugene over Homecoming week-end a good im pression as to the city’s cleanli ness, the chamber of commerce ■ has co-operated with the students and alumni in charge of the event in a city-wide movement to clean the city streets of all dead leaves and rubbish. "The complete clean-up of all of the city streets will be finished either this evening or Friday noon,” C. A. LeVan, of the city street cleaning department, said. "The 12 men employed by the de partment have been busy the past few days in flushing the leaves to the gutter, bunching them with a buncher, and hauling them away, with trucks,” he continued.

Tilt State Supremacy To Be At Stake Saturday \\ rbfoots Aiming To Wipe Out Muddy Disaster Of Last Year The eyes of the entire gridiron following of the Northwest will be directed toward Eugene Saturday where the famous "blood and thun der” play between Oregon and Ore gon State will take place. Al ] although both teams are definitely i out of the running for the coast I championship there is the matter ■ of state supremacy which has to be settled and, too, the intense ri valry forever in the foreground during any encounter in which Webfoot and Beaver outfits parti-1 cipate heralds the meeting as a i “natural.” Oregon State has won only one conference game this season, and that last, week when it took the measure of Montana by a 19 to 0 count. The Beavers are all set to follow up the sensational 15 to 0 victory scored over Dr. Spears’ men last year. There is also the ! added factor of the Webfoots’ big upset of New York university, which while marking the peak for: the Oregon team, has also agreed with Paul J. Schissler and his grid artists none too well, and will make them try all the harder to walk off the field with the honors. O. S. C. Loses Prestige At the opening of the 1931 con ference season the Beavers werej rated as the big threat in the north to show their class to the other teams in the league with the pos sible exception of Southern Cali fornia. Oregon State with its veteran line of heavy, fast men has not yet hit a pace anywhere close to that which it is really capable. Inabil ity to capitalize on the "breaks” of the game in some instances and poor choice of plays on the part of the quarterbacks in others has I caused the Orangemen to throw away almost certain chances to win conference starts this year. Beavers Want Win It is likely that an inspired Bea ver eleven will line up for next Saturday’s crucial test and if the Schissler forces get away to a good start there is expected the Beavers j will enjoy a fine pinner of Oregon I Duck. The Oregon State campus j regards'the coming conflict as the ' one to win at all odds and regain J some of the lost prestige. Every \ Beaver fan expects his team to j come through with victory and the determination to win has now been taken up by the whole Oregon squad.
