Grads Invade City9 Campus for Homecoming Festivities Johnson Hall Dedication; Football on Kincaid Field, Features Whoopi e! Whatatime! 23 skidoo! Saturday is the big day! The alums riot into town today for a big time, to renew old friend ships, and to cheer Oregon on to a victory over our ancient ene mies, O. A. C. Special trains will bring the grads home to their old cam pus. All trains will be met by the University band. The Lane Automobile club has provided ICO cars to carry the Homecom ing alums to the campus. Homecoming festivities start tonight with the big rally pa rade and frosh bonfire on Kin kaid field Saturday: At 10:30 Johnson hall will be dedicated (HUH?) A campus luncheon “a la cafe teria” will be served at noon between McClure hall and the men’s gymnasium. The big game with O. A. C. on Kincaid field is scheduled for 2 o’clock. The official Homecoming fes tivities will be concluded with a big dance and reception at the new armory. What’s this? ... O. A. C. game, Kincaid field ? Dance at new arm ory? Johnson hall dedicated? Nope. Not quite as “fishy” as it sounds. This was the schedule for Oregon’s first Homecoming. The first organized Homecoming was held on our campus Saturday, November 13, 1915. It attracted 150 alumni. Oregon’s second Home coming, November 4, 1916, brought 400 grads back to the campus. This compared with the estimated alumni representation of 1100 (700 registered, and approximately 500 attending the game alone) at the 1929 Homecoming. Although the first Homecoming was held in 1915, the frosh bonfire on the night preceding the annual brawl with O. A. C. (or Oregon State if you will) seemed to be an established tradition at that date. As nearly as we can deter mine, the custom originated on November 10, 1915, in a pre-O. A. C. game rally. The fire was con structed by the frosh in pyre form on the old Kincaid field. In 1926 the site of the bonfire was moved to Skinner’s butte and the flaming “O” was constructed for the first time. The Homecoming program and activities have descended almost intact since the first get-together in 1915—truly Oregon possesses traditions. The war introduced the only gap, in 1918, throughout the years in organized preparations for returning alums. The program itself has under gone few changes. At various periods noise machines and noise floats, with a prize for the great est uproar, have been a part of the pre-game rally. The noise making floats are again being used this year. The old-time atmos phere of the frosh pajama parade will also be revived, with the ral liers donning the traditional sleep ing garments. The campus luncheon of the first Homecoming has also been re tained through the years, under going only a few evolutionary changes. In the early stages it was served “cafeteria.” After the food was “collected,” the students and alums gathered in a congenial, rol licking crowd around big tables in the men’s gym and sometimes in the handball courts. In those days they often served First Ccngregaticnal Church SUNDAY—11:00 A. M. “WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY” Clay E. Palmer, Minister creamed chicken with appropriate trimmings. Today, we gather in the Igloo to enjoy the delicacies of the modernly efficient "box” lunch. Girls Are Slightly Hurt in Post-Rally Mishap with Auto Evelyn Shaner, senior in English, would appreciate it if the driver of the car that knocked her down at 11th ar.d Hilyard, last night af ter the rally, would furnish her with a nice pair of crutches so she can go to the Homecoming dance tonight, not to mention a pair of silk stockings to replace those ruined. Miss Shaner, Elinor Henry of Eugene, and Hazle Corrigan from Astoria were all hit, knocked down, and dragged a short dis tance by the car, which was driven by Willard Arant, Forest Grove. All were bruised to some extent but Miss Shaner was most serious ly injured, since she was almost pulled under the left wheel of the slowly moving sedan. She declares, jlowever, that the accident will not keep her from the Homecoming dance, if she has to go on crutches —hence the above suggestion to the driver. How about it, Arant? A ckr stalled in the center of the intersection was blamed for the accident. A roadster drove over the curb on the northeast corner, narrowly missing the girls. Some jvhat startled, they started to pross the street. The stalled car cut off both Arant’s view and the girls’, and the slow pace of the car is said to be all that kept the acci dent from being more serious.

By KAL.ru MASON .... “Touchdown” at McDonald At last the ideal football pic ture. No, he didn’t make that last minute run, and tha.1 is just what makes “Touchdown” one good pic ture. Starring Richard Arlen and Jack Oakie, this picture opens with some good shots of the Rose Bowl tournament. Arlen a n d Oakie are players on a small team under the coaching of “Pop;” they win the game from the bigger school and then Arlen decides to become a coach. The outcome, while different from the usual run, is expected, but it is powerfully dramatized and is really better than the open ing stages of the play warrant. Frankie Kenin's orchestra com pletes the bill. The news-reel shows the pictures of the N. if. U.-Ore gon game. “Flying High,” with Bert Lahr and Charlotte Greenwood, is com ing to the McDonald Sunday. * * * “Hell Bent for Frisco" at Heilig “Htjll Bent for Frisco,” starring Charles Delaney and Vora Rey nolds, is showing at the Heilig theatre for today oniy “The Ruling Voice,” starring Walter Huston and Lorofta Young, is coming to the Heilig Sunday for a three-day run.

RESH j in nature’s way Camels arc never parched or toasted! JFrESHNESS and flavor in a cigarette trace right back to natural moisture. If you overheat or process tobacco so harshly as to dry out all natural moisture you drive out fresh■ ness and flavor too. Camel never parches or toasts the fine Turkish and mild Domestic tobaccos it uses—they are naturally smooth, cool, mellow, with natural moisture retained. Tlial’s why the Camel Humidor Pack proves such a blessing to Camel smokers —it brings them a fine cigarette fresh to start with, and fresh to smoke. If you don’t realize what natural moisture means in genuine freshness and flavor, switch to Camels and see. Try this mild, slow-burning, throat-friendly favorite for just one day —then leave it, if you can! R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Winston-Salem, lY. C. R. J.
