Ememle Voters Register Today —See Editorial Page 2 VOLUME XLV1II UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4,1946 Number 11 Friday Sendoff Shows Spirit For Webfoots Rally Members Lead Enthusiastic Students Thursday night’s sendoff for old Oregon’s team was attended by a crowd of enthusiastic students at # the Southern Pacific railroad depot in downtown Eugene. The team left for the game with the University of California at Berkeley, Califor nia. The rally squad was out in force, except for Tom Hazzard, yell king, who took the plane south earlier in the day to attend the alumni ban quet at Berkeley. Almost everyone present mistook the first section of the train for the one scheduled to take the team, and crowded up to it to start their yells. Trainmen weren’t at all pleased with the way students closed in on the train and one conductor was very expressive of that displeasure. Passengers, most of whom were in the dining cars, joined in the fun, waving and smiling at the antics of the yell team. A grand sendoff yell was given When engine number 4400, dug into the rails slowly starting the train and team off, on what every fan present hoped would be a victorious trip. Bob Lewis, Hal Schick, Barbara Vowles, Pattie Beaton, Diane Mead and Marguerite Reardon, of the ral ly squad were all present to give the students a shot of morale. The cheering didn’t stop until the en gine whistle drowned it out. Book Values to Drop Deadline for the resale of text books to the Co-op at full refund value has been set for Saturday.
