Only Game Score Mars
Gay Webfoot Homecoming
Sign Contest, Rally, Game, Dance Highlight
Rejoicing by Returning Students, Alumni
By G. DUNCAN WIMPRESS
With only a single sour note, the short end of a 13-12 football
score, the University played its way through one of the best and
certainly the gayest Homecoming weekend in many a year last
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
Getting off to a traditionally good start Friday afternoon, the
students watched the judging of the annual sign contest, won
by Pi Beta Phi with their king-size newspaper, and then
trooped over to Gerlinger for one
of the better tea dances of the
year. Loren Russell, UO law
student, and his crew supplied
the music.
Friday night, alums back for
the festivities and students watch
ed what had been consistently
called the Revival, but what
turned out to be simply a well
organized, fast-moving rally. High
light of the evening came with
the half-hour radio broadcast over
the ..Mutual ..broadcasting ..com
pany.
Dick Savinar reading several
hilarious poems by D a g m a r
Shanks, two excellent numbers by
the choral union, “Summertime”
and “The Weary Traveler,” and a
number of swing arrangements by
the University band under the
direction of John Stehn stood out
during the evening's entertain
ment.
Varied Program
The Chi O trio, an audience quiz
by Ted Loud, the music put out by
Skip Yeoman’s four-man aggrega
tion, the emceeing of Orin Husky
Weir and several excellent talks,
principally by President Harry K.
Newburn, Coach Tex Oliver, and
All-American Jake Leicht added to
the event.
After .Saturday afternoon’s
thrill-packed fracas^ several sorori
ties entertained students and
f
alums with open houses.
Peak of the weekend was
reached Saturday evening as Eddie
Miller’s band reigned over a
capacity crowd at the Homecoming
dance in McArthur court. Some
3,000 people crowded through the
Igloo’s double doors to make up
the largest number of people at
any University dance since the be
ginning <jf the war.
Boughton Recital

SIGNS OF HOMECOMING . . .
