Rally! There are Rose Bowls and Sugar Bowls, there are coast championships and trips to the Hawaiian islands . . . they re all “dream castles” of a football player. But give an Oregon Duck a good taste of beaver fur in a scuffle that is really an upset . . . and he turns into just about the happiest human on earth. For Oregon’s famous “civil war” is top football en tertainment in anybody’s language . . . and Eugene thinks it’s all worth a celebration. So this morning at 10 o’clock, Webfoots will tuck their books away in a desk drawer somewhere, and from then on until curfew time tonight the cry will be ‘1 Rally! Rally! as students turn the whisper of campus pines into a loud cheer for a headline making crew of gridiron heroes. The rally is going to be on home ground, for in the words of one prominent faculty member “the students are too smart” to try a trek to the Corvallis campus such as the dis astrous (for the Beavers) attempt of 2000 OSC students to “take over” the city of Eugene upon the occasion of their first victory in four years back in 1936. So Oregon Webfoots are going to tell the world about the biggest gridiron victory in half a decade . . . from their own hunting grounds. Classes will be held this morning until 10 . . . and from then on the theme of the whole day will be celebration and fun for all. A bil-scale rally assembly at 10 o’clock i McArthur, will just be the keynote for the full day’s program, which includes an address at 11 o’clock by a well-known American leader, a rally parade at one o’clock with everything from Buicks to jalopies providing the transportation, and an all school dance later in the afternoon. Sleepy student leaders, still hoarse after a hectic Saturday of war at the northern branch, spent most of Sunday in meetings and bull sessions putting the finishing touches on a rally program that they want to go down in history. It’s a rally that, in order to carry out its intended pur pose, must take in everybody, must provide a lot of real pep and enthusiasm, and. above all must omit all activities unbe coming a sportsmanlike winner. The rally must be peppy but peaceful. The student body has an example before them. Saturday’s game on the State campus was well-played . .. and clean. Only one penalty was noted in the whole game, and that was against the Oregon State delegation. A team that can score a victory such as the 20-0 beating given Beavers this weekend in a sportsmanlike manner deserve a victory celebration of the same tone. So take up the cry . . . and “Fellows, gather ’round and cheer her . ...” —H.A. Another Great Victory In the light of Oregon’s day of rally tomorrow, celebrat ing a 20 to 0 win over Oregon State, the title of the speech to be given by David E. Lilienthal, director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, seems particularly appropriate. Mr. Lilien thal will speak on “Victory” to a combination rally and school assembly at 11 o’clock. Oregon’s victory over the Beavers will undoubtedly re ceive some attention, but the main victory referred to by Mr. Lilienthal will be TVA’s victory in the power industry. For several years the Tennessee Valley Authority has been under fire in congress, in courts, and in the papers of the nation. Opposition has largely been from three sides—the private utility interests, the coal operators and miners, who dislike the use of laborless fuel, and Northeast industrial leaders who feared los^ of industries to the Tennessee Valley. As one of the three directors of TVA, Lilienthal was iu the thick of most of the fight. He knows the case from start to finish and is prepared to present some of the more inter esting aspects to the Oregon student body. The University is fortunate in securing Lilienthal. He is not on a speaking tour. His appearance here will be of a special nature. In a day of rallying, of few classes, students can well afford to spend a few minutes to hear about another great victory. - ,j3 Mighty Oregon Sober thought is just beginning to seep back into a sup posedly journalistic mind following the frenzy that began at approximately five minutes after two o’clock Saturday af ternoon, when Len Isberg spurted across the Oregon State goal line. And today we are grateful for many things besides, of course, an overwhelming victory over the cordially hated (and much feared) Beavers. Not that they are hated at any other time during the grid season but when it comes time for the annual “civil war” they are indeed “cordially hated.” But of the other reasons for gratitude? Well we are grate ful that Len Isberg, playing his last game for Oregon, was able to be a real flash—a razzle, dazzle halfback. We are glad that Tex Oliver has now the perfect answer to his critics of last week, who didn’t like his secret practices. Tex’s trick plays really clicked to perfection. We are grateful that Saturday’s game was one of the cleanest games in the history of “civil war” clashes. Oregon State was only penalized once, an off-side penalty, while the Ducks went through the whole 60 minutes without a single penalty. We are glad that our opponents from the north can’t come back with, “It was the breaks!” Yes, it was altogether too decisive for that and the statistics are on the wrong side of the ledger for such excuses. And, of course, we are glad that we are going to get the day off tomorrow in order to celebrate. And will we celebrate! Yes, we are proud of our brow-beaten, seventh place foot ball team today. We have watched, in a bewildered fashion, while our team was slapped down time and again. But now they have vindicated themselves. Vindicated themselves by white-washing our traditional rivals, the third ranking team in the conference. Saturday those boys did what we all knew they were ca pable of doing if they could only get going. They had looked good against every team in the conference and had been tough opponents. But still they had lost. But Saturday it was different. They outcharged, outran, outfought, outplayed, and outscored the highly-vaunted Bea vers. And we are happy—deliriously so.—H. 0. Dance, Assembly (Continued from page one) Ray Dickson’s campus band will play at the assembly and dance. Each living organization is asked to bring a “Pep” sign to the assembly, with the winning men’s and women’s house to receive favors in the form of cokes or cigarettes. Shy Huntington—captain of Oregon’s 1916 Rose Bowl eleven —will speak. Coaches Tex Oliver, Mike Mikulak, and Yauglin Corley, all players, and the managers will appear on the large stage in the Igloo. Campus talent is being conscripted for the program. The student body will sing Oregon songs and roar traditional yells. The faculty and house rol-calls will be read. The “snowball rally” begins at 1:30 at the Chi Psi lodge and the ATO house, according to Jim Carney, in charge of arrangements. The band and rally committee will lead rally ing students past campus living organizations, the two groups converging at the Phi Delt house. They will march together across the campus to Gerlinger for the no-date rally dance. Carney urged all houses to “get in the groove” tomorrow afternoon to celebrate Oregon’s victory over “The northern branch. ’ ’ Urged Tiger Payne, ASUO prexy, “Start this off frantical ly.” Although he declared that the evening hours are to be free for “individual celebration,” he remarked “this is the first time in five years....” The rally committee and heads of houses met Sunday at Sigma Nu to make arrangements. Rally committee members are hand ling most of the details—loudspeakers, talent, etc. Joe Gurley, Jim Carney, Ray Dickson, and the yell leaders are cooperating with Payne in the administration of affairs. Ralph Woodall and A1 Seaworth are in charge of decorations at the assembly. Dick son is donating his services as leader of the band.

Alumni Group Sets 1943 Goal For 'Union* Job Trustees of the University alum ni holding company set 1943 as their goal for starting construc tion on the student union building on this campus at their annual board meeting yesterday, Dean Karl W. Onthank, newly-elected secretary of the board, reported today. Basis for this tentative date is the fact that investigations point to that year as the time when cur ren student building funds will have accumulated enough to war rant the new expenditure, Onthank said. A legal opinion was presented to the group yesterday by Prof. C. G. Howard of the law school on the responsibility of the trustees in connection with student union pledges of graduates. The trustees discussed the situation and decid ed to investigate this matter be fore taking final action. As is the usual procedure at the annual business meetings various treasury reports were given by J. O. Lindstrom, treasurer of the board ,in regard to sales of alumni property. Officers holding positions on the board, in regard to sales of alumni Donald M. Erb, Dr. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president, Dean On thank, secretary, and J. O. Lind strom, treasurer, are the officers for another year. Models Due (Continued from page one) men’s living organizations are asked by Nancy Riesch, chairman of the contest, to turn in the names of their representatives for the characteristic coed and college man by 7:30 Monday evening. Candi dates should be selected from the sophomore class, only Miss Riesch stated. A faculty-student committee of seven members will cut the nur/ ber of contestants to five girls and five boys before the dance. These names will be kept secret until the ballots are distributed at the door of the Igloo the night of the dance. The general committee will meet again at 4- o’clock at the Side to morrow to further plans for decor ating in the typical “rah-rah” col lege spirit of flying pennants and waving pom-poms. Fights Leave 12 (Continued from page one) ports that no students were housed on this campus as a re sult of the fracas. The tussle started a few sec onds' before the final whistle with thousands of Beavers sur rounding their goal posts and de fending them from the Ducks.
