Ducks, UCLA Clash Today
On Hayward Field at 2 p.m.
By BILL STRATTON
Oiegon is ready, UCLA is rarin to go, but the question
is, can the Bruins break the jinx that has held since 1928 when
they meet John Warren's Webfoot.s in the annual Homecom
ing tiff on Hayward field at 2:00 today? Since the two teams
have been playing each other, the Uclans have failed to re
cord a victory on Hayward field.
The mere fact that a jinx is between a ticket to the Rose

By ROBERTA BOYD
. “Welcome” is a word on the
tip of every Webfoot’s tongue—a
word being echoed and reechoed
throughout the campus. For all
alums, from the north, east,
south, and west, University of
Oregon “stoke their fires” and
extend a hearty greeting.
Although Homecoming this
year is not the gala “rah-rah"
of preceding years, there is a spe
cial and more inspiring reason
tor this annual get-together.
X Dedicated to Servicemen
Homecoming will be dedicated
to the men who have left the
halls of Oregon for the battle
field, and to those heroes who
have been killed in the service.
Under the direction of Chair
man Pat Cloud, plans for this
weekend’s activities have been
in the process of development
for the past four weeks.

Pennies Parade at Game;
Money Buys Service Flag
A “Parade of Pennies” will marc'n through the stands of
Hayward field at 1:45 p.m. today as 60 members of five class
honoraries “blanket” spectators’ seats with the passing of
milk bottles to raise money for a gold-starred University
service flag.

Chi, men’s national professional

Drive Begins
For Service
Scholarships
Observing the national policy
of paying- for the war in advance,
University students will begin
Monday to set aside money for
service scholarships which will
be awarded after the duration as
an incentive to men leaving Ore
gon for active duty to finish their
education.
War bonds purchased by indi
vidual living organizations, ac
tual money donations, and Co-op
receipts will all be accepted. The
$122 left from the Greek-Inde
pendent basketball game last
spring will probably constitute
the first contribution.
Houses Get Boxes
Boxes serving as receptacles
Co-op receipts will be placed in
every campus living organization
and in the Co-op, by next Tues
day, according to Bill Farrell,
chairman of the drive.
University students expecting
to be drafted may apply now for
scholarships in order to take ad
vantage of them after the war.
Each scholarship will probably
amount to $250. Service men who
retire from active duty before
the end of the war because of in

record, doesn't give the Ducks
the nod, however—not by a long*
shot.
Comparing 1942 statistics for
both teams, UCLA stands head
and shoulders above the Ducks,
at least three touchdowns, or bet
ter.
Ducks Pray for Rain
The only thing- that Oregon
can hope for to hold down tho
rampaging- Bruins, is a downpour.
Rain is liable to play havoc with
the “QT” system, piloted by Bob
Water-field, but Coach “Babe”
Horrell comes right back and de
clares that they have brought
their raincoats this year and are
ready for anything old man
weather has to offer.

A Message For Over There’ ...
eJi&uAe S.iqvtA SJsuJze WxiSi fljjote
By JUNE TAYLOR
Intermission at the dance to
night will reveal to the entire
University which living organi
zation kept the home fires burn
ing brightest in the homecoming
signs judged Friday night.
The choice was made by W. A.
Dahlberg, head of the speech de
partment; Mr. H. C. Franchere,
English instructor, and Miss
Brownell Frasier, assistant-pro
fessor of interior design.
International Rivalry
In contrast with last year’s
signs which dealt mostly with
the contest between Oregon and
OSC, this year' the emphasis was
placed heavily on the internation
al rather than inter-school ri
valry.
Overwhelmingly in the ma
jority this year wer e signs deal
ing either exclusively with back
ing the war effort or combining
both ideas, adding an after
thought about "brewing the Bru
ins.”
Recorded music was employed
in many displays, from martial
compositions to “In Der Fuehrer’s
Face.”
Only organization to employ
a living tableau was the Tri-Delt
house, which portrayed the dif
ferent phases of war work into
which women have stepped to re
place men.
/ War Stamp Sale
Hendricks hall utilized the dis
play to material advantage, by
selling war stamps to the amount
of $7.40. The sale will continue
this morning until the game
starts at 2 p.m.
The homecoming contest last
year was won by Kappa Alpha
Theta and Sigma Chi, who re
ceived two engraved cups fee
their signs exemplifying tho
theme, “Blitz the Beavers.”
