Homecoming and the University's
rivalry with Oregon State, has
sent the following letter to
George Abed. OAC student presi
dent:
i-'i-rii ueoi
Cow (sicI are you? I are fine!
Succumbing to the nonsensical
burden of tradition, I shall com
mence to offer a challenge and a
wager on the Civil War re-enact
ment of Nov. 25th, at Oregon’s
Great University. Needless to
say. there are many channels by
which we can release the compe
titive animosities between our
schools.
May I suggest:
• hand-hat stealing.
• turf-throwing,
• name-calling (with appropri
ate sneers and dirty looksi.
• tractor races (with or with
out cultivator t,
• tree-recognition.
But our athletic departments
rid us of this responsibility by
providing a yearly gridiron con
test. Perhaps it is only fair to
warn you and your students that
we arc anticipating an easy, lop
sided victory for the "Mighty
Webfoots.”
It is for this reason that T
confidently offer this wager. It
would seem only reasonable that
the Student Body of the losing
school should appear at a Friday
nt-4, garbed in the colors of the
winning schools (undoubtedly
green and yellow in this casei to
lead the assembled jeering mass
es in a rousing chorus of the vic
torious school's fight song. Do
you agree ?
I invite you and your student
body to enter into our Homecom
ing festivities by attending the
Tcarl Bailey concert and dance
following. T will be a sad day in
Bcaverdale please brace your
self for this traumatic experience.
Facetiously yours,
Dan Williams.
