UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY, SEITEMBER23, 1949
NUMBER 3
Grid Opener Saturday
Local Fans
To See UO
Face Idaho
Oregon's football Webfoots,
carrying the championship
hopes of the State, make their
first home appearance of the
1949 season tomorrow, when
the Ducks meet the University
of Idaho Vandals on Hayward
Field. Game time is 2 p. m.
Nearly 15,000 fans are expected
to be on hand to see the first con
ference game for both teams. Ore
gon will be gunning for its thir
teenth consecutive conference vic
tory.
Pressed into use for the first time
will be the new south end zone
bleachers, installed recently, and
the new electrically operated score
board.
UCLA NEXT
After the Idaho game, the Web
foots won’t play before a home
crowd again until their fifth con
test, against Colorado, Oct. 15. The
Ducks go south next week to meet
UCLA, and then travel to Pullman
to play Washington State College.
Coach Jim Aiken will unveil to
the home fans his third Oregon
team. Last week, as a result of the
fine Oregon performance against
St. Mary’s, the Ducks won many
supporters, some of whom predict
ed a Rose Bowl finish for the ’49
vehicle of Aiken’s gridiron wizard

Local supporters will see an Ore
gon team without the glamour of a
highly heralded passing attack. The
Ducks’ two most glamourous stars,
passer Norm Van Brocklin, and
Pass Receiver Dick Wilkins, artists
at the aerial game, have graduated
to professional ranks.
But the Ducks, although not fun
ctioning so spectacularly, exhibted
a well balanced team last week, one
which may again carry the Yellow
and Green colors to prominence.
A hard-hitting set of running
backfield men, combined with an
aerial game which is still a threat,
although perhaps not so potent a
one, has been fashioned by Aiken
and his staff of experts, and will
display its prowess tomorrow.
DUCK RATING RISES
Preseason rating by the so-called
experts generally placed Oregon
third or fourth among the coast
teams. However, after the St.
Mary’s contest, many sports writ
ers revised their estimates, to move
the Ducks sharply upward. But the
Webfoots will have to prove them
selves tomorrow afternoon.
The Idaho game, usually consid
ered a breather on the Oregon
schedule, looms as a first class bat
tle this year. Last fall the Ducks,
plagued by fumbles, were hard
pressed to score two touchdowns,
winning 15 to 8. Idaho added fuel
to its fire last week by whomping
little Willamette, 79 to 0.
Oregon will still go into the game
as the favorite. Dopesters are spot
ting the Vandals anywhere from
eight to 21 points, and sticking with
the Ducks.

Off-Campus Housing
Situation Still Gloomy
Oregon’s tight housing situa
tion looks generally good for single
students, with most difficulties
arising in finding accommodations
for married couples, a check with
University officials revealed Thurs
day.
Space is lacking for couples try
ing to find off-campus housing,
reported Mrs. Velma Mullaley,
housing secretary. An average of
ten couples daily have come to her
for housing, with little available.
Only 375 veteran’s families are
on the waiting list for University
housing, reported D. H. Williams,
veteran’s family housing director.
This number sounds large right
now, but is small in comparison to
the 1947 waiting list of 900, he
said.
The situation is slowly but stead
ily growing better, assured Wil
liams. The 30 additional apart
ments provided for married coup
les in Susan Campbell Hall have
helped to ease the housing short
age.
A few single women were not
housed by 3 p. m. Thursday, while
no men were on the waiting lsit.
Within the next 10 days the
fourth floor of Carson Hall should
be completed, increasing the hall’s
capacity an additional* 80 women,
according to Mrs. Genevieve Tur
nipseed, director of dormitories.
Another 80 should be able to move
into Carson in about a month, after
completion of the top floor. This
will relieve congestion in Hend
ricks and John Straub Halls.
The University lias been forced
to relax it’s rules concerning lower
division men living off-campus.
Some are being temporarily housed
in homes off the campus, but will
move on campus as soon as space
is available in dorms.
When women move from John
Straub to Carson, crowded condi
tions in the veterans’ dormitories
will be relieved, and only four in
stead of the present five girls will
be assigned to a room in Hendricks
Hall.
New Staff to Meet
Students who filled out Emerald
application cards, and others who
are interested in doing Emerald
work this term have been asked
to meet Monday at 8 p.m. in room
105 Journalism. Staff members
will explain work schedules and
duties.
Combination Rally
To Feature Three
Snowball Parades
To avoid congestion and get as many students to the rally site
as quickly as possible, plans for tonight’s millrace-Idaho game
rally have been altered to include three snowball rallies, all meet
ing at the street dance site where Aider crosses the millrace.
Motorcycle escorts will accompany the three parades, each le*l
by a member of the temporary rally squad including Yell King
jim Crismon and Dukes Bob Stageburg and A1 Barzman.
Atter the football rally and
millrace reopening ceremonies,
the first street dance in many
years will be held on the
blocked-off area over the mill
race.
WATCH LAWNS
“We can't overemphasize the
importance of keeping off resi
dence lawns surrounding the dance
and on the parade routes,” presi
dent Art Johnson pointed out yes
terday.
“If any complaints are received
from Eugene residents, we will be
allowed no more street dances or
snowball rallies.”
Registration Totals 3776
Eight hundred six students
completed registration Thurs
day, bringing the four-day to
tal to 3776, according to late
figures released last night by
Registrar Clifford L. Constance.
Special Game Slips
Available Saturday
Students unable to obtain stu
dent athletic cards in time for Sat
urday's game with Idaho will still
be able to gain admission, Howard
Lemons, athletic business mana
ger, said yesterday.
Lemons said that mimeograph
slips good for admission will be
issued Saturday from 8 a.m. to
gametime at the registrar's office.
These slips will be available only
to students who were unable to
complete registration due to some
technical difficulty.
“All men and women are encour
aged to wear rooters’ lids,” John
son continued. “However, the lat
est shipment is still in the mail
and all students will not be able to
purchase them. The ruling will bo
enforced at the next game.”
QUEENS TO APPEAR
Junior Weekend co-queens Mary
Margaret Jones and Phyllis Mor
gan will float down the race in
canoes and cut a ribbon across the
street just above the bridge in
commemoration of the reopening.
With Gay Baldwin as master
of ceremonies, approximately 15
minutes of entertainment will be
presented. On the program are Bob
Chamber and Key Keller in a song
and dance routine, the Kappa Sig
ma quartet and Pi Beta Phi trio,
and Gay Norton and Fred Schnei
tcr entertaining with their ukuleles.
E. Z. Zarones’ orchestra, sta
tioned on a^ flat bed truck, will
furnish music.
Each house is expected to carry
a banner slanted toward the mill
race reopening or the Oregon
Idaho game, according to Bill
Lance, rally board member.

'You're Breaking My Heart'
Named Campus Hit Tune
An impromptu Emerald poll of
75 UO students yesterday found
“You’re Breaking My Heart” to be
Oregon’s most popular song.
Results of the poll were for
warded to KECA-TV, Los Angeles,
the Hollywood television outlet of
the American Broadcasting Com
pany. On Friday, Sept. 30, KECA
TV will salute Oregon with a
special arrangement of “You’re
Breaking My Heart” on its pro
gram “Campus-to-Campus.”
SONG POLLS
A different American university
is recognized each week on the
program, the feaured song chosen
by a survey similar to the one
made by the Emerald. The Uni
versity of Oregon will be featured
again on a “Campus-to-Campus”
telecast Oct. 22.
Mel Torme’s version of “Again”
drew particular favor from the
fair sex, placing second. Third was
“Maggie,” which also drew unfav
orable comment from one co-ed
who said she liked anything but
“that horrible song about Maggie.”
OTHEK HITS
Other favorites ranged from
“Blue Moon” to Woody Herman's
mad-cap masterpiece, “The Crick
ets.” There were votes for “Huckle
Buck,” “Til Then,” “Smoke Gets
in Your Eyes,” “Room Full of
Roses,” "Galloping Comedians,”
“In the Still of the Night,” “Who,”
“Forever and Ever,” and approxi
mately one dozen other songs
which drew only one vote apiece.
One girl voted for "Because”
since she is going to have it sung
at her wedding. A number of stu- j
dents claimed registration week ^
confusion kept them from voting
for their favorites.
“I haven’t heard a popular song
for two weeks,” admitted one stu
dent. “What are they playing, any
way? I sort of like “Tangerine,”
but wasn’t that a long time ago?”1
