The m em bers of the U niversity and the law is not blamed. THE OREGON WEEKLY Club will likewise endorse the U ni versity and her appropriation bill at their regular m onthly banquet next Saturday evening. Many of the leading citizens of Portland were present and spoke of the U niversity and its needs, at the Commercial Club banquet last T u es day. Many more will likewise speak at the U niversity Club banquet next Saturday. In addition to the presence of the speakers who are not m embers ot the club, the Idaho ami < )regon foot ball team s will be guests of the o r ganization. The evening following the big Idaho-O regon football contest in the afternoon will be made an “O regon Evening." E ndorsem ent from such prom inent organizations as the above means much for the future of the U niversity of < )regon, and it is needless to say that all connected with the U niversity, fac ulty, students, and alumni alike are «Inly grateful for the favors shown by these tw o associations.

Put just a word here. In *ome m an ner the im pression has gotten out over T H E GAME W ITH IDAHO Next Saturday, the U niversity of O regon and the U niversity of Idaho have their annual gridiron battle on M ultnom ah Feld in Portland. There has been a great deal said about the great strength o f the Idaho team this year and there has been no little pes sim istic talk concerning the ( )regon outlook. At present it is impossible to frame any exact conclusions on the outcom e or to laud the m erits of one team over the other. Idaho enters the held this year with all but one of her last year's team . It is foolish to think, then, th at those ten men will not be better plavers in dividually than they were last year and that they will not compose a team superior to the Idaho team which O re gon succeeded in defeating last sea son by three place kicks. ( )regon lost by graduation last spring tour of the best men th a t ever played for the t niversity— M cKinney, Hug. U atourette and C handler. H o w ever. this tall has seen a larger football squad out for practice nightly than ever before. There are thirty-five men from whom the positions of these "lost ones" must be filled. W h eth er or not the neucltis of last year's eleven, which rem ains, with the help of men " h o till the vacancies, has increased in stren g th sufficient to overcom e the great increase in Id a h o ’s s tre n g th , this year, can only be su rm ised and will not be know n until a fte r th e game S aturday. CAN’T W E H A V E A BAND? T here are at least a dozen men in the U niversity at the p re se n t tim e who have at one tim e or a n o th e r been mem bers of a b rass band. A m o n g this num ber there is one m an w ho has held the position of leader. W ith so much good m aterial on hand th ere is no rea son why the U n iv ersity of O regon cannot support a band of her own. T here yet rem ains nearly th re e weeks tim e before the O. A. C. football game and in this tim e, w ith stead y practice, a new band could easily learn the O re gon songs and could lead the parade upon th a t occasion. T h e m usicians of the E ugene M ilitary B and w ere kind enough to play at last F rid a y n ig h t’s rally and the result w as a m uch g re a t er vim and zeal in the sin g in g . T hese men how ever, cannot well leave their work in the day tim e and hence the need of a stu d en t band to play for stu dent functions. M usicians, talk it up; organize and help furnish th e e n th u s iasm which will help win the gam e from the O regon A g ric u ltu ra l College on N ovem ber 9. Laurean Society. S aturday night the L a u re a n s had their usual in te re stin g and in stru ctiv e m eeting in D eady H all. Seven new m em bers were ad m itted to the ranks of the society. A bout tw e n ty active m em bers were presen t to p articip ate in the evening's p roceedings and ev ery th in g w ent off in good ord er.
