The University of Oregon got its wooden "O" re turned from Oregon State Tues day night but the Webfoots' vic tory bell was missing. Or at least a facsimile of the bell was missing.

Students Rally The return of the "O" touched I off a student rally. Oregon Stat ers said it had been hidden in a barn outside Corvallis. After the "O" was taken Ore gon students "kidnapped" the Oregon State Homecoming queen and two princesses. The girls were returned after an agreement that the "O" would be brought back before Home coming. But meanwhile, OSC "raiders" were suspected of pilfering the Webfoot victory bell. However, campus leaders here put together several "phonies" and planted them about the campus in an ef fort to throw off the invaders.
