By JOE MILLER
A quietly confident band of 42 University of Oregon Web
foots today awaits the opening 2-o'clock kickoff on the historic

Dr. Erb Urges
No Cars at UO
Appealing to students to leave
cars at home, Dr. Donald M. Erb,
president of the University, de
clared Thursday that he saw no
reason for any student to have a
car on the campus except under
exceptional circumstances.
Conditions justifying the use
of student cars were physical
disability, employment, or living
a great distance from the cam
pus. A car would be justified in
the latter case only if public
transportation facilities could not
be used.
Dr. Erb's statement was in
agreement with a recent state
ment issued by William H. Craw
ford, chairman of the state high
way traffic advisory committee.
Joint Military Board

A joint military procurement
board, with representatives of
army, navy"and marine corps re
cruiting services, will visit the
campus October 27 to 29, Dr. Carl
F. Kossack, chairman ef the bu
reau of military information and
placement, has been informed.
Beginning with a special as
sembly October 27, this board will
present the opportunities of the
various services to UO students
and will endeavor to explain the
need and value of these military
reserve corps and the role the
individual will be expected to
play.

the odds down from,to 1. along
with the fact that Warren de

his entire squad ’instead of the
customary 28'he had planned cap

The Navy Air‘ PbviVs pulled
into Eugene Friday morning and
several of the Oregon player-*

The "Devil Dogs’ ’appeared su

Friday night chalk talk he told’
his team that they had a good
