'Civil War’ Stage Set for Gun
Gala Throng Swings With Whiteman
Parade Makes
40,000 Ears
Noise-Crazy
Screaming sirens, bells, minia
ture bombs, riveting machines,
air guns, and yelling students
combined to make last night’s
noise parade probably the great
est in Oregon history. Twenty
thousand noise-maddened people
literally “went crazy.”
Crowds lined the streets from
the depot to the campus, cheer
ing, laughing, and holding their
ears . . . mostly the latter.
One float got out ahead of the
rest and reaching the field, was
the cause for the huge rally bon
fire being ignited pre-schedule.
At the bonfire the floats were
abandoned as students stormed
forward to yell for good old Ore
gon, led by the rally committee.
Then, slowly but surely the
crowd dispersed, some off to
their homes, some off to the con
cert, and some off to “rest a bit”
for the dance.
One more noise parade had
come to a thrilling end and
thousands of townspeople and
students were satisfied that it
really had been “noisy."
Whiteman Tired, But
Crowds Are Thrilled
By HARRY LEHRBACH
The stage was set, the lights dimmed, and the audience burst into
a round of applause as Paul Whiteman, king of modern music, made
his appearance at the microphone, only to announce that some of the
boys had forgotten their music stands and the concert was delayed
until some were found.
Whiteman's entertainers were artists in their profession, holding the

which nearly 1000 couples danced to the luring strains of Whiteman’s

Ducks'Aerial Attack
To Be Pitted Against
'Gray Ghost' Todag
Smith-Graybeal Combination Expected to
Sparkle in Homecoming Contest Today;
Starting Line-up to Be as Usual
By BILL NORENE
Climaxing- the biggest homecoming celebration in the history
of the school, Oregon State’s Beavers with Joe Gray, Elmer
Kolberg, and one of the toughest defensive lines on the coast
will clash this afternoon on OSC-scarred Hayward field with
Oregon’s Ducks and their potent aerial offensive.
Already this season Coach Prink Callison’s Webfoots have
scored twice (74) as many points as last year’s (34) repre
sentatives.
Credit for this of course is due
largely to the brilliant aggregation
of sophomore backs in the Webfoot
fold. Passers Bob Smith are the
two leading lights in the passing
show with Paul Rowe, Jay Gray
beal, and Anderson the best of the
running backs. On the receiving
end of most of Smith's and Ander
son's passes is 160-pound Jay Gray
beal, the Pendleton jackrabbit.
Pass Attack Scores
The Smith - to - Graybeal pass
combination has been responsible
for 3 of Oregon’s 11 scores, while
many other times it has put the
Ducks in position to score.
Dale Lasselle, a senior, is again
performing as he did during his
sophomore year here. Last year
was a lean one for Dale, but this
year with Hank Nilsen, Paul Rowe,
and Arleigh Bentley to put would
be tacklers back on their collective
heels, he is really going to town.
