to a famous message carved on a
tree.
Oregon’s Webfoots meet Califor
nia tomorow afternoon at Multno
mah Stadium in the Northwest’s
opening PCC football contest this
season, and if they should trip
the mighty Bears, their accomplish
ment likely will be inscribed on
something far more lasting than
a tree. Lynn Waldorf’s defending
conference champions are heavy
favorites to win the 24th clash
between the two schools, from the
boys at Reno to the boys at Jones
Junior High.
► Two Backs Lost
Game time of the Portland' con
test is 1:30 p. m. as in all other
home contests of the Webfoots this
fall.
Oregon will enter the battle
after a week of heavy drills whict
saw two backfield men lost tc
the squad. Bill Fell, swift lef1
half, broke his ankle during Wed
nesday's practice to become Coact
Jim Aiken's first drill casualtj

.'since tile Duck mentor arrived at^
' Oregon. The other lost halfback,
■ Jack Gibilisco, has dropped out
of school after failing to find
adequate housing.
The two teams are faced with
opposite problems as they ready
for the Webfoot's second confer
ence outing of the season and the
first for the Bears. Oregon is
blessed with a fairly strong line,
while quarterback Earl Stelle is
the only veteran in the backfield.
California has an inexperienced
line, according to Berkeley drum
beaters, while the backs are con
sidered in many circles as the
best on the Pacific slope.

The Emerald’s newest fea
ture, “Campus Merry-go
round,” starts with today’s
issue, and appears on page
three.
Designed primarily to serve
the living organizations, the
“Merry-go-round” reports the
activities and the funny things
in college life, as these items
are chanelled in from the liv
ing groups themselves.
The family-type column will
appear regularly on Tuesdays
and Fridays, and deadlines
will be announced in each run
ning.
“Merry-go-round” organizer
Sam Fidman, and assistants
Carollee Tate and Valliere Ar
nold contacted every living
group on campus, but in case
some messages were misplac
ed, this notice will serve to
welcome news items from all
organizations.
Grass to Grow
OnSU Grounds
Grass will be growing on the
grounds surrounding the Student
Union building in lime for Home
coming, accoi’ding to Harry Jacoby
assistant superintendent of the
physical plant.
Work will begin on the pro
ject next Tuesday with grading
and laying of top soil, and com
pletion of the pipeline for the
sprinkling system to be followed
by the planting of grass later in
' the week.
A part of the ground in back
of the Student Union will be made
into a parking area large enough
- to accomodate 45 cars. The rest
1 of the ground, where several build
, ings have recently been torn
- down, will be planted into shru

Headgates Open; Watery Millrace
Greets Early Risers Along Channel
By Bill Frye
The millrace is here to stay! That was the word received
Thursday from Oren L,- King, city manager.
Headgates were opened Thursday mOrning-nt 6 a.in. and water
started to flow over the race bed for the first time since last
spring.
By late afternoon houses along 11th avenue reported that the
water was rising rapidly and had only slightly more than one
loot to go before reaching normal
depth.
Came Suddenly
Reopening of the millrace came
without warning. Residents along
the race who had eyed the dry,
mud-bottomed channel with con
cern Wednesday night awoke the
next morning to find water rush
ing in to take the place of over
grown clumps of grass and scat
tered debris.
Flood Victim
The fabled little stream that
rims the north side of the campus
between 11th avenue and Frank
lin boulevard has been the victim
of circumstances ever since a flood
in 1945 tore out its retaining walls.
Work was done to restore the
race again last fall, and it flowed
briefly and intermittently thi’ough
out the year. Construction work
was held responsible for cutting
off the supply of water.
No More Closing
City Manager King sees no im
mediate reason for closing the mill
race again. “The only thing that
would necessitate draining the
millrace now,” said King, “would
be some excavation near its bank,
and that’s not likely.”
Emerald to Carry
Daily Wire Column
Monday’s Emerald will carry
the first of a daily column of
world news, condensed directly
from the wires of Associated
Press.
Wire editor will be John Bar
j ton, assisted by Merle Moss. Both

sent by airfreight from New York
, to Oregon.
Dessert Policy
To Hold Again
Campus social chairmen decid
ed Wednesday to continue last
year's policy of arranging week
ly desserts individually rather than
by a drawing.
“There had been some talk of
pairing houses by an all-campus
drawing,’’ Mrs. Edith Jacobs,
women's counselor, stated, “but
since many dessert lists were
nearly complete the old policy
will continue.”
“The question of drawing may
come up for discussion later,” she
said.
The list of house dance dates
was also given out. Selections for
dates are to be made by the var
ious living groups and turned in
to the office of Student Affairs
by 5 p. m. next Tuesday.
Miss Dana Lind, new campus
social standards chairman, was in
troduced and spoke to the social
chairman. Miss Lind, appointed by
Barbara Stevenson, president of
Associated Women Students, will
act in finding the campus consen

activities.
