Wilkins, oversee operations.
We Ring the Bell Now,
But Who Had It Before?
By Dorothy Kienholz
“The mystery of the Victory Bell” has once again been caus
ing University of Oregon students sleepless nights. No one
agrees on the origin of this famous noise maker. Its past is
shrouded with a thick cloud of doubting, conflicting theories.
Oregon is rumored to have not one, but four, victory bells, and
yet we rarely see even one at our
games. Just why, nobody is certain.
When asked if the Order of the
O was planning to bring the iron
victory bell to the game against
Washington State Saturday, letter
man Les Wright admitted that he
didn’t know, but thought “O” pres
ident Barney Koch was the man to
question.
In the old days, the Victory
Bell (or bells) was toted to all
out-of-state games, and returned
safely with only an occasional
shuffle or two.
Following our victorious second
game with WSC last year which
won the Northwest basketball
championship for our team, the
bell failed to appear.
Students had clamored earlier
for the bell’s unveiling at the
Oregon-Oregon State game, but
ASUO president Audrey Holliday
wouldn’t allow its release. There
just weren’t enough lettermen
around to keep it from falling in
to our enemies’ hands.
Now that the U of O is operat
ing on post-war standards, the
grapevine is wondering if there
aren’t enough “male protectors”
on campus to guard the bell. Many
students feel that it could mean
the difference between victory and
defeat. Certainly our team can use
a little more encouragement.
In October 1939, five Emerald
“shack rats” under the direction
of Jack Bryant started a cam
paign to uncover the birth date
and place of the Victory Bell. All
of the reporters turned up with the
same-story ... no one knows.
The entire library staff went
through the mass of information
walled up over there, and the re
porter came back empty-handed.
A recent investigation showed
that there still isn't any revealing
information on the Victory Bell.
Bryant’s interviews did uncover
a number of theories:
Mrs. Norma H. Frazee, law
school secretary, was quitg certain
that it didn’t appear on the cam
pus until between 1930 and 1935.
Professor George Turnbull felt
sure that someone dragged it out
of the basement of Villard hall
once upon a time. At present he
holds no new theories regarding
its origin.
M. F. McClain, manager of the
Coop, said it had been’on the cam
pus for 10 or 12 years. After con
sulting ' his secretary he decided
that perhaps some church or school
had burned down or lost it.
The closest anyone had to an an
swer at that time was Campus
Policeman O. L. Rhinesmith, who
said the Eugene fire department
gave it to the school. The fire
laddies said, “No it didn'-t come
from here,” but suggested a call
to the maintenance department,
where one of the men declared
that someone had given it to the

8,000 Expected to See Grid War; ?
Rain Won't Faze Oliver's Webfoots
By Leonard Turnbull
Blanketing drizzles failed to cover an ominous chord of pre
game tightness yesterday as gridmen from Oregon and Wash
ington State slushed through tapering-off workouts on Hay
ward field’s soaked earth in preparation for today’s 2 p. m. home
and home setto. Cougar Coach Phil Sorboe commented, “I really
don t ice I the Oregon fellows
have played their best game—
we are expecting a tough
grind.” From the other side of
the fence comes the responding
voice of \\ ebfoot Mentor Tex
Oliver chanting, "1 think we
will show lots of improvement,
better than last week. As for the
rain, you know what the Indians
say—‘let it rain’.”
Clutching claws of the affecting
rivalry grabbed webfoots. Yell
swingers promise school cheer
sheets for most of , the students
attending the game. Everywhere
the ceiling is high with “maybe
this will be our day.”
Grease Job
Both elevens closed workout
sheets with light drills. Injuries’
nemesis loomed before rival
coaches and practice sessions were
more for all-important particular
points that click football-machin
ery in parts that sift pay-dirt.
Private cars brought the 33
Cougar travelers down from Pull
man yesterday. Stiffened muscles
were flexed in a short half-hour
drill at Hayward field; then Coach
Sorboe pronounced his team ready
for action.
Stars of lesser renown skittered
as the impending collision of two
celestial brethen threatened. Jake
Leicht, known for his brilliance,
lapidly approached a meeting with
star Jack Perrault, who won his
laurels with speedy sprinting.
“T” Formation
Visiting Cougars base football
policy on a straight “T” formation.
Power plays and deceptive ball
handling are scheduled, testing
strength of the rebuilt Duck line.
When Webfeet men get the ball,
the tricky “T-wist” formation will
be on tap for the WSC aggrega
tion.
Iron-men players abound in the
Washington State line-up. Last
week against the University of
Washington Andy Lazor, center,
and Phil Claymore, guard, both
first year men, played sixty min
utes of football. Freshman end
Dick Brown, was in the fray for
58 minutes. Jack Perrault, quar
terback and Bill Lippincott, left
halfback, played for 52 minutes.

Webfoot Spirit
Despite the efforts of the
weauier to break up the crowd,
Oregon students gathered around
the front of Johnson hail last night
to get in spirit for today’s game.
The air rang with The Mighty O,
Give ’Em the Axe, and Go Get 'Em
Ducks,
Mickey Davis, yell king, explain
ed the card tricks which are to be
done during half time at the game.
The cards will form a huge
Lemon O on a green background
and then a crimson and black WSC
when displayed.
“The Twists,” a trio composed
of Orin Weir, Leon Williams and
Bob Moran, made their first ap
pearance in more than a year.
They sang “The Devil Sat Down
and Cried,” “Mother Don’t 'Low
Nothin’ ’Round Here,” and “Broth
ers and Sisters.”
Ed Allen, ASUO president, in

swered fully by Francis N. Mag
liozzi, a world war II veteran and
travelling secretary for WSSF,
who arrived Friday o nthe campus
to help organize the drive which
will start Monday. Mr. Magliozzi,
who reecived his M.A. degree from
Harvard in 1938, spoke before sev
eral campus groups Friday arfcf

WSSF is the United States

Student Relief is worldwide and
run by International Student Ser

Volunteer movement (for recruit
ing missionaries in colleges), the
Inter-Seminary movement, church

church boards of ducation, B’nai
B’rith Hillel foundations, and Stu

zines and soy bean milk bars. Even
such successful items of these are
unobtainable by many Chinese, be
