Concerning Huntington's Resignatio n
By LEN JORDAN,  3
EDITOR NOTE-This article . for which arrangements were mad ebefore the O . A . C .-Oregon game, was intended as a personal commentar y
on an honest man . The subsequent defeats at the hands of the Aggie s
and Washington, together with the press comment, the alleged alumn i
action and Huntington resignation, have altered the original plan . T o
praise Huntington now may seem insincere, but OLD OaEOON hopes elmuniwill not find it so
. Len Jordan played under Huntington two season sand knows both
his personal and his official side .
SHY HUNTINGTON has resigned . After six years as hea dcoach of football at the University of Oregon, Huntington
has announced that he will not be an applicant for the positio
next year. With his going Oregon loses a real man : a perfect
gentleman and a successful football coach.
Just when opposing forces were getting squared away for
the annual throat-cutting contest preparatory to the selectio
of next year coach the resignation came
tion very clearly in a letter to the president : "My principa l
reason (for resigning) is that what I shall call `home-tow n
psychologyhas operated against me . Each year my team s
have been with me, but the alumni have not. The alumni have
carried on a sort of guerilla warfare . . . Without knowing the
facts or investigating the material I have had to work with, or
looking into my coaching methods, they have watched ou r
games with thumbs down and some of them have even wished
to see us lose in order that cries for a new coach might be
heard. These same alumni have never raised a hand to hel p
the athletic situation at our University."
Rather a pointed accusation, that! But it is not bitter nor 
does it offer an alibi . It is a clear presentation o4 a coach s
viewpoint; there is no mincing of words or beating around the
bush. And, having told his story, Huntington resigned. Thu s
the inevitable unpleasantries of the impending controversy ove
the coaching situation are avoided. Such an action is fair an d
commendable
No Subsidized Players
This same spirit of fairness has characterized all of Hunt-
ingtons work. He has always stood for clean playing an d
good sportsmanship. A subsidized player has never playe d
on a Huntington team: he teaches men to play for the love of
the game
Huntington statistical record is better than the average. In
six seasons his teams have won twenty six games, Iost twelve
and tied six . In the forty-four games Oregon teams have
rolled up a total of 592 points as against 280 points for oppos-
ing teams
But statistics are coldly impersonal and fail to record the
real struggles and achievements a
way, that the success of a coach is measured whollyby the per-
centage of games won
The Grind of Business Coaching I
Supporters of a team that has the reputation for winning
games come to regh ,
to them, is disaster. There is more adverse criticism aroused
by the loss of a game than there is praise and appreciatio n
for the winning of a game . At least three factors must b e
favorable in order to develop winning teams y
and quantity of the material available for the team e
efficiency of the coaching system ; and third, the genuinenes
of the support . Notwithstanding the fact that the work o f
the coach is but one factor, public opinion has come to hold the
coach answerable for any failure no matter what the caus e
may be. Yea, verily, the business of coaching football is a
capricious undertaking
Most followers of the gridiron, on the Coast at least, ar e
familiar with Huntington style of play . He uses simple play
based on fundamental football principles t
simple plays that are properly executed are the most effective.
He has always placed more stress on fineness of execution tha
on highly complex "freak" plays .
Huntington believes that more can be accomplished by lead-
ing men than by driving them s
merely so many pounds of bone and muscle ; there is some -
thing more, and that is personality t
in the men that Shy directs his appeal t
on a personal basis: the team does not fight for Shy nor fo r
his reputation as a coach; they fight for the old school, th e
same University that Shy fought for. Very often the men o n
his teams have not been as good physical specimens, man fo
man, as their opponents . They ,have been outplayed an d
beaten, but a Huntington team has never been outfought
The question of a successor to Huntington is already claim-
ing the attention of interested groups. The fireplace orator s
and curbstone executives have hired and fired and re-hired at

Schwarzschild Gift Includes 1550 Print s
M R. and Mrs. Edward Schwarzschild last year gave to theart school of the University of Oregon a large numbe r
of useful prints, and their grandaughter . Rita Durkheimer ,
3, has added many to the collection, the total being 1550 .
Many former students will remember Mr d
the book store he conducted for thirty-five years in Eugene .
He has now retired from business and is with his family i n
Palo Alto . Mrs . Schwarzehild death occurred last year.
The Schwarzschild prints are of pictures in fresco and i n
oil in European galleries and churches, reproduced in clea r
half-tones in black and white from photographs. They var y
in size, but the calendered paper on which each is printed is
nine by twelve inches.
Having been issued in Germany for educational use, eac
picture bears the name of the subject painted, of the artis t
with his dates, of the place which contains the origina l
painting, and of its class,-as the Holland school, the Spanis
school
Many of the prints have been mounted and are used i n
class, and the remainder will be mounted as rapidly as fund
permit.
There are few prints .of the earliest known painters, and
few Iater than the 18th century g
painting done in Italy during the 13th and 14th centurie s
in fresco on the walls of the churches . Those early work s
seem very quaint with numerous saints in regular rows and
multiplicity of detail .
Early in the 15th century, the great master, Jan Van Eyc
was painting in the Netherlands, and the equally grea t
Masaccio in Italy . Later in that century, in Italy, Bellini ,
Botticelli, and Fra Angelico were portraying a variety o f
subjects, including many portraits. Prints of 16th centur y
paintings are numerous .
Many works of German artists of the 15th, 16th and 17t
centuries are shown, ,including those of Duren and Holbein.
French artists excelled in portraiture, even as early as th e
15th century. In the Flemish group of the 17th centur y
Reubens and Van Dyck had many gifted contemporaries.
The prints give excellent opportunity for comparing th e
imaginative genius of the great artists of the Italian grou p
with the realism of the Holland school-always realism ,
though in great variety, the portraits of Rembrandt, th e
laudscapes of Ruysdael, the animals of Paul Potter, th e
charming domestic interiors of many artists
Most numerous are the prints showing the works of Ital-
ian artists. Many beautiful examples are the works o f
painters unknown to most people. Most of the prints show-
ing the work of the great sculptor painter, Michael Angelo ,
are of the Sistine Madonna. Of Raphael s paintings, in ad-
dition to those of the usual size, there are some of doubl e
size, as the favorite "School of Athens ."
The prints are kept in the architectural building on th e
campus and can be seen there.
Portland Alumnae Hold Scholarship Te a
(By ANNA ROBERTS STEPHENSON )
A MONG the successful social functions given in Portlan dthis fall was the bridge tea held at the Multnomah hotel
on November 14 for the benefit of the Mary Spiller scholar -
ship fund.
The leaders in this enterprise were Mrs. Jordan T . Bruin-
field, Mrs . Jerry L . Bronaugh, Miss Louise Gray, Mrs . O .
ft. Bean, Miss Ilenrietta Lauer, Miss Winnifred Miller an d
Mrs. G. R. Stephenson.
The musical program, a delightful feature of the after -
noon, was arranged hf Mrs. Mary E . Chipman. The follow-
ing musicians contributed their talent : Mrs . E . Morga n
Fowle, soprano; Miss Bess Smith, soprano.George Hotchkiss
Street, baritone; Miss Nina Drexel, ontralto ; Sylvia Mon-
taigne, Ruth Agnew, Dorothea Schoop, accompanists ; an d
Elza Uhles, violinist
An interesting feature of the afternoon was the presenc e
of several women who were in college when Professor Mar y
Spiller was an instructor.
Mrs. Fletcher Linn and Mrs . E . P . Cleary, who wer e
personal friends of Professor Spiller, presided at the te a
table. They were assisted by a group of the younger girl s
of the University.
THAT MONTHLY ESSA Y
By HERBERT THOMPSON, ex-6 .
EDITOR S NOTE-We have been asked whether we believe thereminiscences Mr
. Thompson has heels writing for Oro Oaecoer are ac-uratelY recalled . We do believe so, our belief
being based on the com-ments of persons who saw the University at the same time Mr, Thomp-
son knew it, "Unbelievably accurate in letter and in spirit," some o f
them have said . In the following article we find the explanation : Mr .
Thompson not only has a faithful and vivid memory, hut he has th eactual documents . Fancy one 
s saving one  ,with the marks of the instructor still clear and decisive upon them
.
O NE afternoon a week at Old Oregon was devoted by u ssub-freshmen to the polite accomplishments of composition,
rhetoric, and elocution. Once a month we declaimed, perhaps
rather stiffly and mechanically according to present da y
standards. And once a month we produced in more or les s
pain a piece of rigid literary carpentry known as an essay or
composition, in between, we received drill in elocution (wit h
endless repetitions of "Flower in the crannied wall") and, o f
more importance to this paper, some initiation into the tech-
nique of the essay or composition.
College essays, indifferently known as compositions, had i
those days as little to do with every-day writing as colleg e
elocution had to do with ordinary speech. In treatment, an d
often in subject, the essays were far removed from the grimy
realities and commonplaces of life. Our English essay wa s
like our Sunday suits and company manners, too nice to b e
soiled by ordinary use. Words and phrases to which migh t
be applied Pistol description of "hose, common and popular
were banned. In fact, we, as college folk, were expected t o
look at the world from lofty heights . This may sound aris-
tocratic, but we took our ideals from New England with it s
aristocracy of mind and character
Our guide in the art of composition was an ingeniou s
eastern professor, who had in his textbook dissected the bones
of literature from the meat . So hismethod of producing a
The lice Sigma Nu house seas the miter of attention on Saturda y
morning of Homecoming for a good miaay people . At the cere -
mouy of laying the corner-stone there were present a number o f
the founders of the Oregon chapter . in the group above ar e
Bishop Walter Sumner, Clarence Bishop, Fred Ziegler, Richar d
Shore Smith, Edward Blythe, C . N . McArthur, Oliver Huston ,
and President Campbell . The new house stands next door to th e
Kamm Sigma house on Eleventhtied Alder, and the Kappa Sigm a
lawn was pretty much itt ee at the dedication,

he divided an essay into three parts-head, trunk, and legs, or,
in other language, introduction, discussion and conclusion .
Each of these topics was, in turn, cut into subdivisions labele
by letters.
Part of our instruction was under Miss Murch, .who had-
been drafted to teach English, and the remainder under Mis
Carson, herself
Miss Murch was, in one way, very much admired by u s
boys. She wore a heavy braid of -fine, chestnut hair coile d
about her head, her complexion was fresh, eyes handsbihb, feet
threewell modeled and person attractive. In fact, we grew
quite romantic occasionally when she walked home with a mal
fellow tutor. But she was not one to hold down a bench ful l
of restless youngsters, since she was sensitive and timid b y
nature y
on a glass case of stuffed birds and animals used in th e
teaching of natural history d
abjectly on their perches as if they had never sung in thei r
lives. And there was a weasel whose hide had shrunk, and h
used to grin at me resentfully, showing his nasty little teeth ,
while a piece of cotton protruded from his throat. The clas s
room was on the upper floor of the old hall . We entered i t
full of self-confidence, rather insolently, perhaps. But it wa s
with grave feelings of mistrust and apprehension that we ap-
proached the Carsonian portals
VilIard Was Miss Carson
To this day, I can not disconnect Villard hall from Mis s
Carson. There was something classic in its lines and propor-
tions that suggested Miss Carson. The great auditorium wa s
her own, where her pupils performed, responding to her in-
fluence and will. Then there was her room, with its bust o f
Shakespeare and portraits of New England and Victoria n
poets. We might cut-up before Miss Mureh, but in Miss Car-
sons class we sat upright and attentive . Woe the poo r
wretch who was kept in for an "extra session," for he woul d
be given an hour and a half or two hours to think over his sin
before being called upon to recite .
There was a long wait between our last morning class and
the hour of English, a wait softened by various enterprises .
During the bright autumn weather, four of us used to forage
squashes-excellent squashes and roast them over a fir e
in the shelter of a maple tree on the bank of the Millrace .
Then we found a wild pear tree out near the graveyards that
bore fruit as bitter as quinine, which we used to distribut e
generously to the uninitiated. When the weather was wet an d
heavy we retreated to the Barris-Lauer gymnasium in the loft
of the old hall . To exercise with dumbbells or pulleys? No t
on your life . We did circus acts on the trapeze . And whe n
spring came, what a glorious wait, roaming around and pick-
ing wild strawberries on the lower parts of the campus o r
over by the graveyards, while the meadow larks sat on th e
fence rails and sang themselves black in the face . How th e
hands of my watch raced to that awful hour of English !
So, here we are, back to eomposition again.
As it happens, in a box of relies of old Eugene I cam e
across recently four specimens of composition executed during
1891 and 1892. In the interval since then, they have ac-
quired a certain historic interest, like the pastels my mother
did at the convent or grandmothers cardboard work. So I

reproduce from them in that spirit, although, unfortunately,
they contain lapses from dignity intended to give subtle of-
fense to my teachers-another way of popping chalk .
Here is one on "The character of Hades," cribbed largel y
from the mythology that we Greek students were reading .
Like the others, it is written on note paper. The outline fol-
lows: General subject, men; limited subject, character of men,
character of Hades . 1, Int ., origin of Hades ; II, Dis ., his
character-a, as god of the Lower World ; b- ditto earth;
III, Con., comparison of Hades and Satan . This outline ,
however, was tabulated
The only thing in it worth quoting is a typical joker, de -

three headed dog that had a serpent for a tail. When a per -
son entered he would wag his serpent, but if any one at -
tempted to go out he would show his teeth, to frighten the m
back,
Corrections include five misspelled words, one of them be-
ing the Greek spelling of "Tartaros" instead of the Latinize d
"Tartarus." Comment is limited to "Write on plain paper and
make larger letters." Now for another essay.
The Outline of "The Waterfall
Evidently I had trouble in introducing, discussing and con-
cluding my "Description of a waterfall," which I viewed o n
a trip up the McKenzie. The outline, exactly as written, is :
Intro.-its situation.
Dis.-its view (a) view of the mountain ; (b) view of th e
sun from there ; its lack of mosquitos.
Con.-compared with other falls .
Old timers may havetheir memories pleasantly jogged by
an allusion in this essay to a contemporary painter who spe-
cialized in Alpine glows.
" As the sun was going down," the essay records of th e
Three Sisters, "the snow on the mountain was tinted almost a
highly as an amateur painting of Mount Hood
How familiar were the sunsets on Mt l
of this estimable artist-a pile of rose pink looming up lik e
a strawberry sundae, brought into sharp relief by a foreground
of lumpy brown rock studded with dark green firs, assemble
with something like military precision, while a snow-white
waterfall, executed with a deft sweep of the wire brush, fel l

er of suds. A gentlemen in a red shirt usually stood on th e
bank of this wild stream, fishing
From this waterfall at the base of the Sisters, I saw th e
most peculiar freak of refracted light I have ever witnessed .
And I call upon Dean Straub, Miss Mary McCornack and Mis
Sue Dorris, surviving companions on this eventful trip, t o
bear out the essential accuracy of this grotesque hit of des-
cription:
The Millinery Su
"When I first noticed the sun it looked as if it was about ,
four feet above the furthest ridge g
standing on its end; it then flattened out like a. derby hat with
a big crown, then its crown became smaller until it looke d
like a girl hat, then the crown flattened out and became lik
these girl hats which have the crown below the brim, the n
dropped out of sight."
This curious essay, with its formless stringing of loos e
sentences, was apparently thought to be beneath comment .
It was. So a few misspelled words are adjusted and a comma
or two thrown in, which, after all, was about the best the poor
teacher could do with it.
One of my efforts I am tempted to run in full, for it lie s
some of the bucolic flavor of old Eugene . But,- I regret t o
confess, it was written without an outline in total disregard,
or defiance of the rules of the game. Any way, here it is :
"The intelligence of Horses ."
" Horses are said to be very intelligent animals and to ran
with dogs in faithfulness of man.
"From what I have seen of horses they do not seem to me
to be as intelligent as they are usually said to be n
trained, they do many wonderful tricks . These are taugh t
with the whip hut even fleas are taught to jump hurdles, pul
tiny chariots and many other things which seem impossibl e
to be done.
Such Slight Provocation
"One thing which proves the foolishness of a horse is th e
fact that he will run away for such slight provocation n
a horse, that has been raised in the country, gets frightened a
a stump and runs two or three miles, thinking the stump i s
chasing him, we are apt to doubt his good sense . Again ,
when a horse runs away he never Iooks where he is going .
A mule, on the other hand, always keeps out of danger . I
knew a horse that ran a block astride of a picket fence, an d
lost fully one half of himself along the route, and died whe n
he could easily have saved his owner the loss by keeping i n
the middle of the street . A horse if on the track when th e
train is coming instead of getting out of the way usually tries
to outrun the engine and rarely succeeds
"Cavalry horses and those used for fire engines are ver y
intelligent (the result of training). The common drudge horse
is as useful an animal as there is, hut he has only instinc t
and his driver whip and reins to guide him
"Notwithstanding the fun made of the mule, he has more
sound sense than the horse. Among his other qualities he has
a greater firmness of disposition . While he will stand an y
amount of beating he wont move nor stop until he feels lik e
it. But this has really nothing to do with his intelligence .
"But after all man best friends among animals are hi s
horse and dog."
On the fly leaf of this essay appears this comment, written
in a precise and firm feminine hand : "You have no outline .
Hand me the same paper with an outline on Tuesday." Th e
word "outline" is underscored. The only corrections relate t o
a few misspelled words and the insertion of a comma wher e
no copy reader on a magazine would, in modern practice, place
fine. The very tone of the theme, speaking flippantly of an

animal that had always been treated with the highest respec
by the Victorian poets, was enough to merit displeasure
The last of these relics is serious throughout . And i t
might well be, since it hears the comprehensive title of, "The
Life of Henry W . Longfellow ."
I loved Longfellow as much as I disliked Tennyson . I n
this I have not changed with the years. So I am glad to se e
that I defend him loyally against the assaults of intellectuals
who thought ill of the simple and homely topics that touched
the hearts of the common run of Americans . I also rende r
him my gratitude for bringing to me, away off in Eugene ,
the romance of the sagas and the middle ages and the beaut
of England, Spain,. Italy and other lands I dreamed to visit .
And, had I known it then, I should have thanked him for res-
cuing modern languages and Iiteratures from the dry rot of a
antiquated pedantry and giving them a chance to inspire u s
with new and broader views of this curious and fascinatin g
world of ours.

one of his students, is the third in the series of deans Olo OREGON has se t

that hewears in place of the professional knitted silk-and-wool

of his loose-hanging overcoat and the slouch of hat, bespeak

Dr. Rebee, who previously has lived abroad as a student i
Germany and in Italy, returned this fall from a year leav e
of absence spent in Oxford, Paris, Southern France, Italy, an
Czecho-Slovakia, to take up again his position as head of the
department of philosophy and dean of the graduate school .
The college of literature science and the arts insisted on hi s
return, that he might be available throughout his life, as a
teacher, a discourser and a walker-in-the garden with his pup-
ils. He has bought himself a home in a situation character-
istic of the man, on a high hill, topping the world, fro m
which when one looks down, the city of Eugene appears as a
European village, nestling in its valley.
It is the students in his classes who probably come to kno
most truly the real man. His nervous active hands that ges-
ture pictorially as he lectures tell the restless urge of idea s
that almost evade expression g
points in his lectures with crosses or spheroid figures drawn on
the board, to which he adds tail-like appendages as he developes
the argument r
that is unique, for the crosses are not mere crosses, nor the
spheroids ludicrous figures. They are, rather Socrates on trial
in Athens, perhaps, or flaws in the Atomistie theory, or Hel-
lenism merging into Hellenisticism
By his sheer mastery of words and phrasing he clothes his
ideas in vestments beautiful and graceful ;
rare and happy, of humanizing Ids lectures without lowering
their definitely classical tone a
philosopher, the founder of metaphysical logic, but he is also
the irritating gad-fly of Athenian life, the unkempt and per-
sistent old man, distinctly not a family man nor a good pro-
vider. Dr . Rebec walks with the shades of classic men; they
are near and intimate to him . He brings them to his clas s
room and these ancient men of wisdom become human, live
and breathe and go about the ordinary business of life ; and
their teachings, surviving still today and still having influence,
are infused with a new vitality.
Ilr. Rebec leads his classes down bypaths of analytica l
thought, stretching into dim, unexplored vistas, but he never
gets them lost. At the end of the hour he brings them bac k
onto the hard high road of the concrete and the here-and-now,
yet sends them forth still thinking and talking, so that they
saunter away together in twos and threes, discussing the thing
he has said. .Dr. Rebec echoes and delights in that succinct
Platonism, "Let us follow the argument withersoever it leads."
He is truly the great teacher as well as the great scholar .

The Reunion of the Class o f
By MYRA NORRIS JOHNSON, Secretary for 1893
) 93
THE 1923 Homecoming day of the University of Orego n
will ever be one of the happy memories to the class o f
1893 s
than had been at any one time since our graduation, ther e
having been not more than four at previous anniversaries .
Six classmates were present this year . Another member o f
the class, JesseG. Miller, wrote under date of November 2 2
that he had just returned from a -business trip east and found
the letters concerning our reunion awaiting him n
too late to make arrangements to get here from Seattle b y
November 24.
Since the class is scattered from coast to coast and fro m
Seattle to Los Angeles, it is somewhat difficult for all t o
get together at one time ; but we feel sure that our next re -
union will bring more of them back to our Alma Mater, a s
the homecoming habit becomes more general
The first of the class to arrive in Eugene for the festivi-
ties was Judge Charles E ,
came all the way from Indianapolis to meet the classmate s
of his college days in Oregon. They reached here Wednesday
evening, November 21. Thursday afternoon, these two guests,
with the resident member of the class, visited the campus ,
finding a few, very few, familiar places, but many that wer e
changed and new e
campus with three buildings of 3, to the approximatel y
one hundred acre campus of 3, with its large number o f
stately, well-equipped buildings (many of them covered wit h
ivy), well kept lawns, beautiful trees and shrubs, driveways ,
walks, tennis courts, athletic fields, surrounded by pave d
streets (instead of muddy lanes) and all used by a studen t
body numbering nearly twenty-five hundred
Guests Entertained Flail
Thursday evening Judge Henderson and daughter wit h
Mr. and Mrs. L . H . Johnson, were graciously entertained at
dinner by Miss Gertrude Talbot and the girls of Hendrick s
hall, returning later to the Johnson home to spend the evening
about the fireplace in pleasant conversation.
Mrs. Jerry E . Bronaugh of Portland joined us on Frida y
and together we attended the interesting Assembly held i n
the Women building at 11 A . M . At noon, the class wa s
again honored by being the guests of Mrs. H . W . Davis and
the boys of Friendly hall . These opportunities for meetin g
and seeing the students in their halls of residence were mos
interesting, and the courtesy was appreciated by the class.
Again returning to class headquarters, we visited until the
opening of that wonderful collection of oriental art, th e
Warner Museum.
The arrival that evening of Judge L . T . Harris of Sale m
and Hon. K . K . Kubli of Portland, brought our total up t o
five classmates present. The bonfire, the noise parade an d
the spirited rally at the armory, Friday evening, proved en-
joyable and interesting, and to some of our members, some -
thing quite novel in the way of student activities .
On Saturday, the real Homecoming day, there arrive d
another member of the class, Carey F . Martin, of Salem .
One of our plans for this day, when the largest number o f
us would be together, was to call on Professor Hawthorn e
and Dean Straub, the only professors of our day residir g
here. Saturday morning seemed to be the most opportun e
time and a happy and delightful call was made on Professo r
Hawthorne, but the visit to Dean Straub was omitted for w e
feared it might be too much of a tax on his strength, because
of his recent illness ; so we sent flowers instead and, later ,
written greetings.
At the Campus Luncheon and Gam e
Assembling again just before noon at class headquarters,
we went over to the campus luncheon together . The hou r
was spent most pleasantly, greeting old friends, meeting new
ones and partaking of the delicious food which the student s
had provided and served . Some of the friends of othe r
classes accompanied us hack to the Johnson home after lun-
cheon, and conversation and music filled the hour until time
to go to the game between Oregon and O . A . C . A special
section or the grandstand was reserved for the class an d
their friends where all could be seated near together.
At six olock that evening, we met at the Osburn for ou r
reunion dinner -
,mates of 3 ; two wives, Mrs . Harris and Mrs . Kubli ; one
husband, Mr. L . H . Johnson; one daughter, Miss Ameli a
Henderson; and two sons, George Bronaugh and Donal d
Johnson. Oregon colors were carried out in the table decora-
tions and place cards. The following matters were decided ,
during the progress of the dinner : to return for another re -
union in ten years, each one of the class agreeing to be pre -
sent; to send written greetings to Doctor Straub and Docto r
Luella Clay Carson, the- latter to be delivered in person b y
Charles Henderson, who was leaving for California tha t
night (Saturday) and intended to see her while in Lo s
Angeles.
From the dinner, all returned again to the campus for the
Homecoming party at the Women building . This was th e
closing event of the week festivities and also of our clas s
reunion. The entire occasion had been most happy and de-
lightful for each of us . There was but one regret, that th e
other five members of 3 had not been with us.
Those who were not here were : Harold L. Hopkins o f
Forest Grove; Emanuel H. Lauer of Los Angeles ; Arthur .P.
McKinley of Los Angeles ; Jesse G . Miller of Seattle ; and
Thomas M. Roberts of Washington, D . C.
The following note was sent to Mrs. Johnson by Professor
Hawthorneto thank the class for flowers :
To the Class of 3 :
It is exceedingly gratifying to know that this old "ha s
been" is still remembered by those with whom he was so
pleasantly associated nearly a third of a century ago.
Please accept my most hearty thanks for those rare an d
most beautiful flowers.
May the path of everyone of you be as bright and ros y
as those flowers.
Good luck and best wishes of your old friend ,
13. J. Hawthorne.

W ITH autumn taking its last stand we are bound, lik eLot wife, to cast a few backward glances, and suc h
meditation is as likely to result in a poem as a pillar o f
salt. In "Leaves" Helen Schuppel sees the autumn fires i n
a new spirit of freedom . The last line has the advantage o f
appearing inevitable.
LEAVES
A swirl of leaves lie on the grass;
Quite as the wind has tossed them by
Splashing the garden with color, they liA rustling, restless, fire-tinted mass.
The morrow will bring death to the heap;
All in a pile up the alley-wa
Scattered and dry-turned brown and gray.
Their spirit lives in the flames that leap.
I think that I would like to die
As theleaves, in color ; and under blue sky.
My spirit a bit of fire will be ;
The spark winks out-and I am free !-Helen Schuppel, 5 .
Something in the way of an impression with a lightnes s
of touch is the following . In it Miss Schuppel has become
fairly enamoured of words with pleasing effect .

Drifting-
Escape-through contrast-is offered ,by Katherine Wat-
son unnamed poem. We must remember that Miss Wasto n
knows cities-her home being in Chicago . An interestin g
analogy in statues is to be found in Oscar WiIde "whit e
statues that looked down on him from their jasper pedestals
with sad blank eyes and strangely smiling lips"
The statues of the city park
Crowd in on you and me;
The chalk cliffs of Dove r
Gleam white across the sea .
The city sparrows peck awa
At statue eyes that stare
The sea gulls of Dove r
Draw circles of swift air .-Katherine Watson,

A study in perspectives is "Vision" by Kathrine Kress-
mann. It is a sea-mood, with a touch of something else at
the end.
VISIO N
I lay sprawled out on the sand
By the soapy se aOne white morning.
The hugest wave of all
Reared itself like a mottled mouth
Yawning
Then tumbled and burst into white powder.

Another sea, this time used as a figure of tragedy, wit h
a gripping quality in the sweep of imagery is the poe m
" Scars by Juliette Claire Gibson .
SCARS
As the white-breasted sands,Scarred with deep furrow
sMade by clawing fingers of passion-mad waves
In a screaming wind-whipped sea
Lie, in deep helpless silencBeneath gray sullen skies
That gaze upon the hurt, untouched, implacable;
So it is with my heart.
The leaden eyes eLook deep within, yet see nor care not
,That Fate, with cruel, knife-like fingers, tear-dipped
Has clawed deep furrows, tha
Unlike those on the sands, must stay forever
For neither Life, nor Death, nor LovCan wash them smooth, nor take the sears away.

something the average college alumnus won find it necessar
to read. The title misnames the book f
this text by a former Oregon student will quickly show tha t
for the audience it desires to reach, the book is well suited t
desires to reach the high school mind.
A compact little book, illustrated with fine portraits o f
distinguished and successful Americans whohave made their
place by faithful, thoughtful effort, it plunges into its tas k
both intelligently and with imagination
One is impressed that Mr r
of social sciences in J. Sterling Morton high school, Chicago,
has thought a good distance beyond the .high school but i s
still able to relate its problems to the future. He writes sim-
ply, but not down. His suggestions are provocative, his know-
ledge and contacts with business and professions probabl y
wide.
The book shows evidence of considerable survey work done
Whether Mr. Doxsee findings are valuable statistically or not,
the contacts with big enterprises must have added sound back
ground to what he has to say. One is inclined to recommend
"Getting into Your Life Work" to people who haveboys and
girls in high school ,
but it is readable enough to set them thinking

of Oregon
My Dear Sir:
Yours of the 21st Inst. came to hand last evening, and I am
grieved to inform you that my daughter, Estelle Brownlee May-
berry died on the 20th day of August last, and her sister, Anne
E. Brownlee Bowers died on the 20th of last September. Bot h
were students at the University ,
Professor Straub, would care to know about them. They alway s
loved and respected him as long as they lived because of his
kindly helpfulness to themThey both sleep with their father and their brothers in
the
Masonic cemetery of Eugene
Very respectfully
Mrs. M. E. Brownlee
Colonel Bowen Wife Die s
M RS. MARGARET MILLER BOWEN, wife of Colone lW. H. C. Bowen, who was stationed as commandant at
the University during the war, died in Portland in November,
victim of a tropical disease she had contracted in the Philip -
pines twelve years ago.
Besides her husband, there survives Mrs . Bowen he r
daughter Gwladys, ex-2, who has been prominent in charitabl
work in Portland and for several years treasurer of the Junior
league . Bowen was sixty-four at the time of her death .
Colonel Bowen had seven and a half years of army servic
in the Philippines, covering three different periods, and i t
was at this time that rs. Bowen contracted the malady tha
resisted the best medical treatment, making her continuousl
an invalid.
Magazine Makes Comment on Orego n
T HE Phi Beta Kappa Key for October makes commen twith regard to the installation of Phi Beta Kappa a t
Oregon last spring. The words are those of Dean Hatfiel d
of the University of California .a
. . . I came away with a very much more favorable
impression of the University of Oregon than I ever had be -
fore. The institution is in a beautiful location . It is bein g
supplied gradually with new buildings of very attractive char-
acter, but not wastefully extravagant in construction; and so
far as I can see the body of students is a very good one . . .
The chapter promises to be conservative. I believe that th e
number of initiates will be kept within ten per cent of th e
graduating class. They also showed a reasonable conserva-
tism in the matter of honorary members, the only person re-
ceived this year being the president of the University, Doctor
Campbell"
Laura Miller Story Well Receive d
LAURA MILLER, 7, has a story in the November WomansHome Companion called "White Moss Roses ." It is a
tale of the days when ox-wagons crossed the great plains t o
the Pacific coast. Concerning this story, Maxwell Aley, fic-
tion editor of the Companion, writes: "You will be intereste d
in the story by Laura Miller, which has an Oregon setting and
is written by an Oregon woman . I consider it, personally ,
the bright particular spot in the fiction of the Novembe r
number
Miss Miller story is likely to enjoy an unusual circula-
tion owing to the fact that many complimentary copies o f
the November Companion are being sent out because o f
special articles by John Galsworthy and Margaret Deland on
the subject of international thought .
It is understood that an English coupany has bought the
right to do something special with Miss Miller tale, re-
garding it as a great find . Miss Miller is now employe d
in the public library in Portland . The June OLD OREGO N
contained a delightful article by her called "The Old Fash-
ioned Commencement
Oregon Club Becomes "Closed" Bod y
T HOSE who recall the founding of the Oregon club wil lbe interested to know that the men branch-there are
now two separate clubs-has become a closed group . Tha t
is, it elects its members.
The move has been determined on for two reasons s
Oregon club promotes certain activities, such as doughnu t
debating and athletics, and with an indefinite membershi p
it becomes difficult to get a sure response . It is also be-
lieved a greater interest in non-fraternity affairs will b e
developed through the restricted membership
Grace Parker McClain Deat h
M RS. C. A. MeCLAIN, who was Grace Parker of the clas sof 1907, died at her home at 1033 High street, Eugene,
September 19 . Be -
sides her husband she left one daughter, Dora, a freshma n
at the University high school.
She was married June 30, 1908, to C . A . McClain,6 ,
their wedding taking place in what is now Friendly hall .
The McClain remained in Eugene from the time of thei r
marriage until 1915. For eight years of this time Mr . Mc-
Clain was connected with the University faculty, being a t
the same time engaged with an associate in civil engineer-
ing practice.
They were away then for three years, in the east wher e
Mr. McClain took graduate work and did instructing at Cor-
nell. Later he was engaged with construction engineering i n
Cleveland
Since 1918 they had been at home in Eugene, where Mr .
McClain has been general superintendent of the Eugen e
Water board.
Stanford has received $10,000 to provide a lectureshi p
called the Bussey-Webb memorial e
gift, lecturers of eminence not connected with the University
may he engaged to speak upon subjects related to the ethical
nobility or literary beauty of the Bible, or the life and teach-
ings of Jesus of Nazareth . Lecturers must he engaged a t
least four months in advance.
Illinois alumni have decided not to buy overcoats for th e
members of the University hand, believing that "we shoul d
protect our members as far as our approval can from to o
frequent campaigns and from such as do not have a general
appeal or are less appropriate or less important than som e
others."
The October number of OLD ORsooN is running low, and
the November is exhausted. It will be impossible to suppl y
back issues to alumni who pay their dues late . The mora l

'14-ers Beginning To Warm Up for 10-Year Classic
At Commencemen t
EDITOR NOTE-F . Ii . Young, permanent secretary for 4, ha s
begun the string of personals about members of his class that we hop e
he will continue through until commencement . He is promised most o fthe time a special department, but, of course, other classes must be pro-
tected. Too large demands and too insulting a tone will be considered
fair cause for cancellation .
M ET Woo Sun, 4, the diminutive but popular Orienta lmember of the 1914 class. Woo majored in engineer-
iny in college ; took up agriculture near Salem, where hi s
father was interested in a hop ranch ; then managed a dr y
goods store located in a big hotel, said hotel being owne d
by Chinese capitalists, on the corner of Third . and Yamhill
streets, Portland; and is now selling life insurance . Whe n
reminded that next Commencement was the tenth reunion of
his class, Woo said, "By golly, guess Il have to go dow n
and nose around the campus a little. Golly, I haven bee n
back there since we graduated." So heads up, 4-ers, her e
comes Woo.
P. S .-Woo wants the young ladies of the class to kno w
that he will not be able to give any instruction in ma jong ,
mah jongg, or ma jonhgx while attending the reunion.
Then there is Oscar Haugen, the Y. M. C. A. poster artist
of the 1914 class. Mr . Haugen is 99 44-100 per cent of th e
Ad-Craft Advertising Agency, Henry Bldg ., Portland . H e
numbers among his clients some of the city largest financia
and retail establishments t
would make the recent 1924 senior champion selected b y
Colonel Leader wilt in his tracks .
The original Nip and Tuck boys of 1914 class were an d
are Henry and Charles Fowler . Both were back for Home -
coming, clicking their heels as they took in the sights y
is moulding the public opinion of the loggers and attache s
of two big sawmills in Bend, Oregon, with the Bend Bulle-
tin, of which lie is part owner . Charles is attendance office r
for the Portland schools . He likes school work better tha n
the lumber business, so quoth Charles.
Miss Alsea Hawley, first class secretary for class of 1914,
is at her home in Divide, Oregon . Miss Hawley enjoye d
The "permanent" record of the Homecoming n.oiae-parade ai d
fireworks display, down Willamettestreet. The curly lives mea n
hundreds of dozens of sparklers and roman candles . At th e
right the huge electric crown at the Rex is almost outdoing the
fireworks, and far down the street, Moody is still seeing better.
Homecoming with the exception of the athletic exhibition on
Hayward field . She promised that she would not miss th e
reunion next spring
Chester Huggins is in the general insurance business i n
Marshfield. He has two children, a girl and a baby boy, a
few weeks old . Not having access to the family Bible y e
deponent cannot call them by name . Chester is hitting a
hot pace in Marshfield, we are informed, lapping a few o f
his business competitors as easily as he once lapped a fe w
straggling Aggie long distance spike-throwers . He was o n
deck for the 1923 Homecoming
Captain Clarence E. Ash is the globe-trottingest member
of the 1914 class. He is now a full-fledged captain in th e
service of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company, afte r
about four years service with that company . Captain As h
hadthe honor of being placed in charge of the S . "Dewey,"
operated by his company, which steamship carried the firs t
full cargo of relief supplies from the Pacific coast to Yoko-
hama following the Japanese disaster . Captain Ash sailed 
from Portland October 7, reaching Yokohama November 1 .
He is due back in Portland about December 10. Mrs . Maud
Mastick Ash, also 4, keeps the home fires burning for he r
seafaring husband at 32 West Hinchell street, Portland .
They havetwo children, Dorothy and Phyllis.
Waldo Squires Miller was the baldest man in the class .
He still is . Miller is now municipal bond buyer with Peirce ,
Fair Co ., Wilcox Bldg ., Portland . He graduated fro m
Pennsylvania Law school, got mixed up in the Europea n
rumpus, came home ordnance sergeant, became a bond sales
man, and stuck with that game. Tt may be somewhat of a
surprise to his friends who knew him in college to lear n
that he is still single . Golf is his recreation, and he hits a
straight ball-when he hits it . He wears knickerbockers o
the links.
Miss Norma Graves is teaching English in Franklin hig h
school, Portland .
Is there anybody who doesn know that Dr . Delber t
Stannard is a regular M . D. now, and as such and in tha t
capacity connected with the University of Oregon infirmary .
Doctor Stannard won have to travel far to be on hand wit h
the soothing syrups when the 4-ers come pushing perambu-
lators back to the campus next June. Doctor Stannard an d
Professor Crockett were the only members of the class wh o
had the nerve to permanently attach themselves to the Uni-
versity. "Pete" knew his Master Voice, so he is an adjunc t
to the Department of Economics under Doctor Gilbert .

.4 VERY HONORABLE LEGALLY, we understand, sui-
SOLUTION

r tide pacts ara very, ver y
illegal. We might contend tha t
they are not bad on morale if executed with dispatch an d
finish as it were . But it is not our purpose to urge suicid e
pacts on the useless organizations of the university campus a
a cure for the inanity that consumes them.
They would have neither the humor to observe their ow n
futility nor the resolution necessary for hari-kari .
The solution is more personal.
Last year a check of the honorary organizations-even th e
"professional" honoraries-would have disclosed that thei r
membership overlapped ludicrously. One school had thre e
honoraries for men exclusively, and one man who was a mem-
ber of all three suggested dissolution or combination amon g
them. He was not acclaimed .
Probably his experience was not unique. There are over-
lappings elsewhere. There are serious overlappings amon g
the high and great that have no professional bread-and-meat
reasons for taking people time . The saving element wit h
the latter, however, is that they commonly meet seldom end
consider themselves thinking organizations and not f
committeemen .
Consider how a man becomes so deeply honored that h e
is useless to anyone y
one society, deservedly or by accident,and this is the excus
for all the others to invite him in . Is he given a chance t
say aye, yes or no Scarcely . He is tapped for an initiatio n
fee before be knows what has happened. It is assault, bat-
tery, robbery, and in time it will be suffocation . Suicide, i n
comparison, is merciful .
Presently he belongs to a lot of honorable societies ; and
because he has to attend their meetings, eat their dinners ,
write their letters and put in their phone calls, the carefu l
hoarding of time and thought which made him what he i s
disperses into air ,
and as for having thoughts that do himself or his fellow s
any honor-well, how could he ?
Once Oregon was aghast that individuals were loaded with
offices. We have gone farther and done worse . Now th e
whole student body is mired in honorary societies.
Organizations dare not kill themselves off, apparently .
The one exception we know is Triple A, a freshmen women s
organization that disbanded with the canceling of the course
in practical ethics.
The only solution is deliberate withdrawal from organiza-
tions by individuals even from honoraries . Were this a
student publication, we should be tempted to run off a lis t
of names of worthy and prominent students who ought t o
take the lead: students of intellectual honor being fast ruined
by constant exploitation
TE ATE not sure whethe r
Levi T .Pennington, wh
secured his masters degree at
the University in 2, was able to come home for the game .
Beforehand he wrote: "I received the n to Oregonletter ,
and you may be sure I shall be there if it is at all possible ,
and I shall try hard to bring a considerable group with me ."
Mr. Pennington is the president of Pacific college at New-
berg. It has an unusually pleasant ring, such warmth o n
the part of the president of one college for the campus o f
another college within this state. In the far East, wher e
many college walls are grey and ivied, the new close agains t
he ancient, one would not be surprised.
THE PASSING OF THE SHOCKING death of C . N .
MC ARTI-TUR

McArthur, scarcely three week s
after his visit to the campus a t
Homecoming, has called forth many expressions of sorrow .
At the Homecoming rally, which he directed superbly, and in
the letter-men parade, which he headed. McArthur seemed
as sturdy as any member of the football team, men twent y
years his junior.
The Portland Oregonian spoke at length of McArthur. We
append the editorial entire:
"At death we take the measure of a man. It is as thoug h
a swift shrinkace of all extraneous and immaterial thingssud-
denly revealedhim to us . We are becomethe impartial judges
of his life. So in the passing of Clifton Nesmith McArthur ,who served his state as representative in congress, and in many
lesser but important capacities, we perceive our loss. A great -hearted and obdurate fighter has left the lists of politics, a
sportsman whose watchword was undeviating fairness ha s
quitted the engrossing game of life, and all Oregon mourn s
a friend whse sincerity was never for the once in questio n
"It seems an awkwardness to speak of him by any othe rname than at,a friendly christening of his universit y
days which accorded well with his simplicity of character ,
his bluntness,his readiness for action, his , forthright candor
and honesty. Not least of the tributes that men paid to hi m

was to call him so-as they did in Washington and here among
his own people. When you have called one by his friendl ynickname, as they did him, the differences of
politics do not
necessarily engender enmities oppos ewithout bitterness and to feel a fundamental warmth at heart
for one opponent .
"The rise of `PatMcArthur was worthy of the fines t
traditions of a state that has not yet forgotten the vigorou s
initiative of its pioneers. The virility of a most distinguishe dend purposeful pioneer lineage was renewed in the Oregon boy
who early developed marked capabilities for organization an
leadership, and whose student activities at the University of
Oregon are yet recalled by the phrase which credits him with
the fatherhood of Oregon athletic sports . This bent it wa s
that led him with certitude to political activities, and tha tgained for him---together with his straightforward personality-
marked preferment at a comparatively early age. More tha nthat, he
had mastered a sound and exceptional knowledge of
Oregon affairs and needs, and his experience as a reporte ron The Oregonian had enhanced his gift for brisk, decisiv e
thought
"That he should leave the training school of the stat e
legislature, where his influence was pronounced and enduringfor a career in congress was but further public recognitio
n
of his ability, and while some men are immured in Washington,
and forgotten by all save -their constituents, Representativ eMcArthur became almost at one a factor in the politica
lerg:uneation of the house, a keen party whip and an invalu-
able spokesman for his state. The candor that had character-
ized his lesser activities did not desert him there . He mad e
no plea or play for popularity, but answered for his vot e
himself and in entire readiness to meet the responsibility o fan unpopular attitude
. The bonus, certain labor measures ,prohibition-by even pretended approval of these he migh
thave won strength-but `PatMcArthur held that a man
sstrength is within himself,
and that should he fail himself he isno longer strong.
"Well, he is gone . They are taking his measure today ,
those who know him in the state he served so conscientiouslyand ably, and not without
it certain dogged gallantry. Doubt-less they understand, as they recall their memories of him, tha
tthe field. of American politics has lost a thorough sportsman
and one of the few it ever claimed . As for Oregon, we hav e
lost plain `PatMcArthur, who was but yesterday our goo dfriend."
INVESTMENT AND WITHIN the space of a fe w
RETURN

~ hours after the call for vol -
unteers to give blood for Dean Joh n
Straub, many of his "boys" had reported to the Portlan d
hospital where the dean had been for several weeks . Th e
call was precautionary: if the old man did not rally properl y
after his major operation, transfusion might be necessary ,
and so preliminary tests for matching blood were made i n
order to save time in a critical moment.
A ,dozen of the boys were tested. Two dozen more wer e
ready to submit themseles if the first dozen were not avail -
able.
A curious and affecting exchange: men eager to offer th e
most precious physical substance humanity has, in return for
the gift once given them of the most precious spiritual sub -
stance the world has discovered.
AND IT

WHENEVER a conflict between tw o
HAPPENED

F !

rival forces results in a victory fo r
one, the other perforce becomes the van-
quished. This is in the nature of things . It is so in foot -
ball: if one team wins, the opposing team Ioses. Both team s
cannot win the same game.
Coaches and players realize the significance of this axiom.
They know that a game is not won until the final whistle i s
blown and that the unexpected is liable to happen at an y
time. In their minds the dangers and uncertainties are eve r
present. A fumble, a blocked punlt, an intercepted pass, a
costly penalty- even the slighest break may turn victor y
into defeat.

Coaches and players are always hesitant about predicting
the outcome of a game. They are too closely associated wit h
the situation-too much a part of it, perhaps -to venture
a prediction.
Some of us who are not participants may disregard th e
fundamental axiom. A series of victories blinds us to th e
possibilities of defeat . We expect to win because we have
been winning, and our knowledge of the reasons for succes s
comes to be more and more superficial as our percentage of
victories increases ; w e
come to place faith in jinxes and hunches . Then comes th e
surprise.
It is good for us to lose a game once in a while ; it makes
us check up. We may even find that our own interest an d
support have been lacking
If losing a game or even finishing at the bottom of th e
conference brings us closer together, the ultimate effect s
are not so bad after all.
THREE MINUTES THE POINT in education is, w e
PER

THE
been told, training, A de-
gree from a university has certain
values in certain lines of work ; presumably the greater th e
institution the more valued the degree.
However, it is training that forms the mind-and tha t
holds the job when an employer has forgotten a man alm a
mater
The "reader" system has to be used in large universities ,
and readers have something to do with training r
educational neighbors on the south comments that the syste
is generally dissatisfactory, but that apparently some form o
it is necessary. It is dissatisfactory, for instance, that a
reader can spend only three minutes evaluating a student s
fifteen minute quiz. And as for the instructor in the cours e
spending any time on it or the head of the department doing
so-why that is a dream so dizzy it has never been dreamed .
Three minutes to a quiz paper ; eight minutes to a ter m
paper.
Not only is it agreed, that to grade under such limitations
is impossible; it is conceded that to offer any constructiv e
criticism is impossible and that this flaw is the worse of the
two.
Parents of Oregon students, parents who have wondered
anxiously if their children should be sent farther from home
to shoot down a degree with a louder and longer name at-
tached to it, these parents might contemplate the picture o f
the distracted reader measuring off three minutes to appl y
to their offspring quiz paper .
ELEVENTH AND NOT WE HAVE liked to think tha t
MAIN STREET

when a university is sit -
uated in a small town it develop s
a better spirit within . Its students follow its temporal an d
spiritual moves the more faithfully because there are near b
no similar moves of greater importance and of greater at -
tractive power.
We have said that universities Iearned to entertain them-
selves, both lightly and seriously, upon a higher scale whe n
they had to do it themselves.
Perhaps some of this advantage, if it exist, is offset by a n
innocent but egotistical attitude that develops among college
reople in a town like Eugene : the assumption that the town
is so small it has no life and no interests except through the
university; that at all moments the Eugene people are in -
tensely occupied with the VTniversity's social and intellectual

activities, as well as with the mere business of selling it a
lot of shoes and groceries and moving pictures .
It was interesting to note in a recent Sunday Emerald an
interview with the man who for nine years has stood at th e
window. in the tower that looks down on that migrant run -
way between Villard and the Anchorage-a person, one would
suppose, who would be somewhat engaged with the importanc
of campus life .
"I don know much about the college," he remarks
er been in it . No, Ie never wondered much about it ."
"And you have never wondered what it was all about, the
rush, the purpose of it ally" he is asked.
"No . . . . I have . to watch the track . If there an y
accident I get canned, you know"

THE HOSTESS-F . . Homecoming we recall . We pre -
dicted it would be. We think the rea-
son Homecoming improves is that alumni are getting idea s
about what they want done for themselves and that the stu-
dents are discerning these ideas more clearly.
A letter to the president of the A . S . U. O. or the editor
of the Emerald always co mmands attention, especially if i t
arrive before Homecoming . The commendation ex pressed
at the alumni meeting for the new kind of rally should be a
sure guidance to the committee next year.
Charles Henderson, 3, who spoke at the rally at th e
armory, said he had seen no such enthusiasm even at the re-
cent great Michigan-Ohio game in a stadium seating more tha
forty thousand. He came all the way from Indianapolis t o
say that. a
Homecoming Oregon puts on.
Of one thing we are sure : that Haddon Rockhey, chair -
man, his Homecoming committee, and the whole student bod
deserve warm thanks. We wish alumni would write thei r
appreciation individually
VARIETIES OF JESSIE C . EASTHAM, who represented
EDUCATION

the University of Oregon at the in -
auguration of the new president of Rad-
cliffe college, comments, in her account of the affair, upo n
the new president address . "She suggested," wrote Mrs .
Eastham, "that a combination of comprehensive examinations
school record, mental tests, and a personal investigation of th
candidate may be satisfactory from the point of view of th e
colleges in securing suitable students ; but that we mus t
recognize the fact that there are other kinds of higher edu-
cation than college education
We have never been able to forget a heading from th e
American Magazine of several years ago : "Have You a n
Educated Heart." We doubt if President Comstock read s
the American, but we think she and the inventor of captions
in the American must have some thoughts in common
WELL? C ORRESPONDENTS in the Oregon Emeral d
refer to the alumni as if that body consiste d
of about seventy-five people, all willful, and ignorant of th e
true situation s
apparently consider the alumni so dispersed and spineless a
crowd that any statement about them, weird or weirder, will
be allowed to stand.
Between these two expressed opinions, Oregon alumni are
made to look a poor lot . We should say that a resentmen t
that disestablished anyof the above premises was not in ba d
taste.
ACCOUNTING FOR A LUMNI wonder sometimes at th e
OLD BLANK

weird efforts of their nominat -
ing committees; at the appointment of
people to jobs in connection with alumni work; at the distri-
bution of honors.
Who ever heard of Blank, they marvel . Nobody . No w
there Blankit. Infinitely better for the place, more infhi-
ential, better known in college.
It is the geographical location of an alumnus, quite often,
that determines the case e
available than if he lives in Burns . It is more probable h e
can attend meetings, especially abruptly called ones
Alumni that are too important and too busy to give tim e
to alumni affairs make less useful servants than unimportan
people with more time to spare .
Not popularity, but willingness to work, free time, a n
interest already manifested, geographical nearness-these fac-
tors are involved. Besides there is the complication of tryin g
to distribute offices and honors not alone among the classes
but in a representative manner around the state
The cards are now down-but the beans are probabl y
upset. All the recently appointed Blanks will have begu n
to wonder where they came in : nearness, unimportance, re
presentation of All-Eastern-Oregon, or membership in an ol
and therefore to be humored class
No, popularity can be entirely suspended.

December, 192.9
The second gathering of Oregon student body presidents was held at Homecoming, I n

7 . In front are : Toone, 6, Hug, 7, President Campbell, Ray, 2, and Spencer, 3 .
GOSSIP about the 1923 Homecomer s
H ARRY Ellis, 3, came all the wa yfrom Baker for Homecoming . When las taeon he was pondering ways and means o f
getting a transportation problem solved .
He implied that fare-and-a-half was stil l
something in his life .
James Gilbert, 3, is again a membe r
of the alumni couneil. He reemned offic e
Saturday morning with a modesty com-
mendable in one who bosses the commence-
ment procession with such eclat each year .
Mildred Weeks, ex-3, now society edito r
on the Oregon Journal, juet left everythin g
and came down to got the high lights .
Carlton E . Spencer, permanent secretar y
for the class of 3, registered importantly .
So did all the other members from 3 .
Leslie A . Schroder, ex-1, was up fro m
Coquille, arriving Friday and missing noth-
ing .
Randolph Kuhn, 3, who is in advertis-
ing work in Portland, was all over th e
campus, but principally at the registratio n
center. The clerks there were all co-eds .
William E . Lackey, 5, was on band
from Albany .
Nicholas Jaureguy, 7, and Carlton Sav-
age, 1, student body presidents in thei r
day, ambled in from Portland and Mon -
mouth respectively to see if Homecomin g
was as good as she used to was . Their ex-
pressions late Saturday night were still on e
continuous beam.
Anna Grimes Calef, 9, came down fro m
Portland. So did Mahlon H . Day, 8 ,
and Anna Roberts Stephenson, 6 .
Ralph Couch, 3, Ieft Mulnomah club t o
take care of itself as best it could whil e
he took in Homecoming . Ralf was lookin g
very fit-and not very lonesome .
Dorothy Duniway, 0, forgot her dutie s
at Reed college and returned . It was no t
learned whether the college had to clos e
up during her absence, but the worst i s
feared.
Chet Huggins, 4, came up to see wha t
his class had on hand with regard to th e
June reunion, when, presumably, it wil l
out do everything the class of 3 eve r
thought of .
Rose Basler Meek, 5, and Colton Meek ,
4, came from Portland . On the campu s
they visited James and Cornelia Meek ,
brother and sister of Colton .
Pearl Cooper Moreland, ex-9, a stron g
alumni stand-by, was on hand .
Dorothy and Emma were around wit h
the Colonel. Dorothy and Emma are Woot-
tons, of course, and the third of the tri o
though not present is Betsy . Emma reg-
istered from Quantico, Va . Dorothy is a t
Astoria.
Merle Chessman, 9, came from Astori a
and gossiped around the campus most ex-
traordinarily . Mrs . Chessman could no t
come.
P. N . Blythe, 2, and Isabel Jakwa y
Blythe were not only in attendance at al l
events but "Ned" was obliged to make a
speech at the rally . The only defect i n
this was its length . It had none to spea k
of.
L . A . Read, 9, of Gladstone, a forme r
athlete and letter man, was making hi s
first Homecoming visit . His daughter ,
Marjorie, is a sophomore on the campus .
Lucile and "Mae", meaning Lucile Saun-
ders and Harold D . McDonald were aroun d
seeing everybody . Lucile is in Portlan d
again, and on the Oregonian, after he r
two years in South America and New York .
Harold is proceeding with his medical work .
Margaret Dixon Tuel, 9, came fro m
Waeeo. Her sister Dorothy is a senior o n
the campus this year .
The re-elected secretary of the Multnoma h
county alumni association, Dorothy Flegel ,
9, not only came but left promises o f
sending in news about the Portland group .
All the way from Klamath Falls cam e
Lelaine West, 3 . Lelaine is the perso n
who belonged to everything, got an av-
erage of under nothing, and still passe d
for a carefree co-ed .
Eighteen ninety-five did not go unrepre-
sented, for Willa Hanna Beattie came fro m
Monmouth to prevent that happening .
Tom Wyatt and Martha Westwood Wy-
att, ex-3, were down from Portland .
Eureka, Calif ., yielded up Faye Bal l
Bond, 3, and Aubrey H . Bond, ex-2 .
It was their first trip back in a long time .
Gladys McKenzie Hug, 9, and Georg e
Hug, 7, were on hand from Salem . Hu g

Lillie Miller Nutt, 8, was back fo r
her first Homecoming . She has a legiti-

is now in Portland .

several subsequent ones, came down fro m
Silverton, where he practices medicine . I t
wouldn have been a letterman parad e
without him.
True to promise, C . K . Logan, 1 ,
brought Mrs . Logan down to be "natural-
ized." They are living in Salem, wher e
Logan is engaged in newspaper work .
A lot of newspaper people came back .
Besides those already mentioned and som e
that must be commented on in later detail ,
the reporter descried Ruth Austin, 2, fro m
Woodburn; Jamee C . Say, 2, of Portland ;
John W . Anderson, 3, from Marshfield .
Marion Crary, 3, who is doing publi c

isn to be told) playing with writing i n
between, spent twelve hours, exhausted fou r

reaching the campus . She said she wa s
having a lot better time than when sh e
was in college--and that she hadn had a
bad time in college so you could notice it .
C. E . Wagner, 1, who broke his twent y
year absence record last Homecoming an d
returned to the campus, was on hand again .
Wagner was an early letter man, and i n
three or four years he will be sending a
young letter-woman down to Oregon . She s
in high school now . Wagner was an engi-
neering student and succeeded in winnin g
the approbation of Dr . Luella Clay Carso n
in spite of the fact that she didn ap-
prove of engineers being exempt from rhe-
toric .
Florence Sherman came down from As-
toria. Eugene means home to her, and sh e
admitted it was probably a little more com-
fortable staying there than "at the house. 
Remy Burkhead, 0, who is travelin g
for the John C . Winston company, 104 Fift h

cational, had been in Eugene on busines s
and managed to prolong his stay throug h

"Business and two kiddies who can b e
parked are our reasons for not getting t o

I also attended the recent alumni luncheon ."

Oregon Loses First Varsity Game on Hayward Fiel d
Six to o Score Gives Aggies First Victory in Six Years
F OR the first time on Hay-ward field, a n
team. Fighting, struggling, the Lemon Yel-
low team went down in defeat for the firs t
time in years at the hands of her tradi-
tional foe, the Aggies, by the score of 6
to O. It was a fight and every man on th e
team fought . A crowd of 12,000 saw th e
annual classic and afterwards saw the mo b
of Corvallis rooters surge onto the fiel d
and carry Price, the hero, away .
For it was Ray Price who made the mos t
pectacular run of the season when h e
plunged between Oregon tackle and en d
and shaking off the Oregon tacklers mad e
a 74-yard run for the only touchdown o f
the game . Aided by an interference whic h
clipped every man out of the way, he race d
across the goal amid the frantic yelling o f
the hundreds of O . A . C. rooters .
In the first quarter neither team coul d
gain any noticable yardage . Chapman di d
the booting for Oregon with Terjeson, An-
derson and Sax carrying the ball for smal l

Oregon Loses to Stanford I n
Heartbreaking Struggle
W ITH a team crippled by injuries an dm
settling over the beam and campus the Ore-
gon eleven lost their only chance for th e
coast conference honors when Stanfor d
scored a 14 to 3 victory over them Novembe r
10 on Multnomah field .
Outweighed many pounds to the man, the .
Lemon Yellow team had to battle on regard -
less. They were battered and outplayed b y
the strong Cardinal eleven in the firs t
three quarters of the game . They made thei r
comeback in the fourth quarter when thei r
vicious line plunges and thrilling passin g
brought them twice within the Stanford 2 5
yard line, and it was on the last of thes e
marches down the field that Chapman, Ore-
gon quarter, within the last moment o f
play hooted a beautiful place kick from th e
35 yard line and made Oregon only score .
The crippled varsity could not withstand th e
powerful drives of the Cardinals in th e
first periods of the game and repeatedl y
was driven back . Nevers, the big Stanford
fullback, carried the ball for gains score s
of times .
In the first quarter Oregon fumbled th e
ball on the kick-off and a cardinal playe r
retrieved it on Oregon 14 yard line . Th e
Oregon team held, and Stanford tried fo r
a field goal but missed . Here followed a
series of punts and line bucks with Stan -
ford in the lead, Latham punting for Ore-
gon and Cleveland for Stanford . Near th e
end of the period a series of bewilderin g
passes brought the ball down to Oregon s
12 yard line with first down for Stanford .
A couple of line plunges by Wheat an d
Nevers put the ball over for a touchdown .
Campbell, Stanford quarter, kicked goal .
Stanford 7, Oregon O .
Quarter ended with the ball on Oregon s
18 yard line after a 55 yard punt by Never s
to Chapman who returned only 3 yards .
In the second quarter both teams trie d
punting with Oregon steadily losing ground .
Then Stanford smashed through the Orego n
line until they reached the 20 yard lin e
where Nevers fumbled a pass and Orego n
got the ball on their own 20-yard line . $er e
the Oregon combination got into action an d
returned the ball 27 yards by line plunge s
and passes. Latham punt was blocked ,
and Stanford, failing to gain, punted t o
Oregon 14 yard line where Chapman re -
turned 3 yards . Terjeson, Chapman an d
Sax carried the ball back to Oregon 2 7
yard line . The half ended .
A couple of losses and a fifteen yar d
penalty put Oregon on her 20 yard line i n
the beginning of the second half . Latham s
pant was blocked by Thomas, Stanford lef t
end, who recovered the ball and ran acros s
the goal line for the second touchdown .
Campbell kicked goal . Stanford 14, Ore-

Chapman kick was returned to Stan -
ford 21 yard line and stopped their ad-

intercepted pass gave Oregon the ball, an d

Huntington-and the Odds
Whether or not Shy Huntington has put out a winning team he has done a s
much with the material he had to work with as a Bezdek or a Warner . He ha s
had to work against the most heartbreaking odds that a coach has ever had a t
Oregon. With the mall nucleus of four letter men upon which to build his tea m
and the rest a mass of untried material, he was expected to make a championshi p
team-but he didn because he couldn and he did the best he could .
Those four letter men were out several games on account of sickness and injur-ies,
and his other first string men were out for injuries . The flunk route ha d
robbed him of some of his best varsity material, and his second string was incom-
plete and mediocre. Thus with barely a first team of first class players he put ou t
a team that made it . rough going for the conference elevens .
Above all he has paved the way for the next coach that handles his position a t
Oregon. A dozen men have profited by experience and they will be back nex t
year. They have learned the fundamentals well . Out of the Fresh team will com e
a group of players that will be far better than the material Shy Huntington had t o
work with at the beginning of the season this fall .
carried the ball and fought against defea t
to the last shrill whistle . Oregon got with -
in 17 yards of the goal and lost the bal l
on an incomplete pass . Chapman gaine d
on the exchange of kicks and carried th e
ball himself inset of the time to the 3 6
yard line where the place kick gave th e
team its only score .
Oregon line was sadly crippled in th e
game and many substitutions were made i n
the last two periods . Chapman was playin g
the game of his life and with marvelou s
spirit. His returns of punts were short ,
but every time he was covered by Stanfor d
men who had sifted through the guards .
In marked contrast was the return of punt s
exhibited by Campbell, Stanford safety ,
whose interference was perfect and wh o
seldom failed to return the punt a hal f
score yards or more .

Washington Wins 26-7 But
Game is Heroic
IN the last game of the season, the bat-tered Oregon team again suffered a de-
cisive defeat at the hands of Enoch Bag-
shaw Vikings . It was indeed a battere d
and patched up football team that met th e
strong Washington aggregation . Hal Chap-
man, who had guided the destinies of th e
team all season, was on the bench with a n
injured -leg . Sinclair, formerly a center ,
was playing half . And Anderson who wa s
injured in the first part of the gam e
was replaced by Kirtley, a 135-pound back .
It was a remnant of the team that had hel d
so gallantly against Idaho . It was the en d
of a season replete with defeats, sickness ,
and injuries . But Oregon came back, an d
through the first half, leading by a 7- 0
score, baffled the Washington team . I n
the last half, with many men on the bench ,
injured, they were tearing down upo n
Washington goal .
Sax, taking the position of quarter playe d
percentage football, and in the first 1 0
minutes of the game there were eight suc-
cessive punt exchanges. Anderson, Oregon s
safety, was returning them nicely . He wa s
just going good when he was injured an d
Kirtley took his place . On the last punt o f
the first period Latham booted one tha t
rolled out of bonds on the Washinton I
yard line . Ziel started to punt when Vende r
Abe and Manta broke through and knocked
the ball back . Both teams made a wil d
scramble for the ball and Sinclair, Orego n
hall, fell on it . Latham kicked goal an d
the quarter ended. Oregon 7, Washington O .
Twice the Washington team advanced
down the field with the determination t o
put the ball over, and twice Oregon hel d
and Latham punted out of immediate dan-
ger . Then once more they marched dow n
the field and the crippled Oregon tea m
held again . But the queerest fluke in foot -
ball this season happened when Latham s
punt swung in a wide arc and was scoope d
up near Oregon goal by Sherman, wh o
took it over for a touchdown . Washingto n
failed to kick goal .
In the last half, Washington made anothe r
touchdown by straight line bucks and a fe w
forward passes . Sherman kicked goal an d
made the score, Washington 13, Oregon 7 .
Their next advance was completed in a
touchdown by a 30 yard pass from Abe l
to DuBois, who caught it behind the goa l
post.
The last touchdown resembled the one that
O. A . C . made in the game a week ago .
Abel, Washington half, took the ball o n
his own 36-yard line and plunging throug h
the line and with perfect interference race d
64 yards down the field for the fina l
touchdown : Washington 26, Ore-
gon 7 .
Then Oregon showed her fight when fro m
midfield the team bucked and passed dow n
to Washington 10 yard line, where the y
lost the ball and Washington punted out
of danger . Hunk Latham Carried the bal l
most . Again they marched dow n
the field and, when the whistle blew the y
had reached the Washington 25 yard line .

T HE Freshman football team wound u pthe season schedule by the decisiv e
20 to 2 defeat they handed the Universit y
of Washington Fresh team in the gam e
played November 7 on Hayward field . A
future coach at Oregon will have wonder-
ful material for the varsity if the showin g
of the Fresh gridsters means anything ;
The first period of the game was feature d
by the punting duel between Harrison ,
quarter for the Oregon Fresh and Delaney ,
the Washington quarter . However Harriso n
got the best of the exchanges and playe d
the straight percentage football that ha s
put many conference teams in the lead .
Few line plays were called by Harriso n
during the first period, and he punted whe n
things looked the least bit dangerous .
The passing combination of Harrison t o
.)ones accounted for the first score in th e
second quarter of the game . Just at th e
end of the first quarter the Oregon for -
wards blocked one of Delaney punts an d
Brooks recovered it on Washington 1 6yard line
. A line buck and then a snapp y
pass from Harrison to Jones put the bal l
over-Jones falling across the line for a
touchdown. Harrison kicked goal .
One of Harrison punts inthe secon d
quarter was blocked and he recovered i t
liiniself, giving Washington a safety fo r
two points and her only score . Oregon s
second score came in this period whe n
Harrison kicked a low 39 yard punt whic h
the Washington safety expected woul d
cross the goal line . However an Orego n
Fresh fell on the ball on Washington 1
yard line . Delaney was forced to kick fro m
behind the . goal post and his kick wa s
blocked and going straight up in the ai r
carne down in a mass of players . The bal l
was grasped by Kerns and Kjelland, tw o
Oregon tackles. Harrison failed to conver t
the goal. Near the close of the first half ,

Out of the do-nut leagues the most prom-

Aggie Soccer Team Held t o
4-2 Score
W
ITH a group of inexperienced men ,
Coach Rudolph Pahl turned out a
soccer team that made a creditable showin g
against the veteran O . A . C. team at Home -
coming. Three weeks before the O . A. C.
kickers had scored a 4 to I win over th e
Oregon team and the Lemon ellow tea m
was thirsty for revenge .
They got their chance in the Homecoming
game when they held their opponents fo r
ten minutes to a tie score . The Aggie s
made the first two goals in the first perio d
of the game but Oregon tied the scor e
through the excellent work of E,au, playin g
inside left . For ten minutes the ball wa splayed across the field with neither sid e
scoring. However the experience and team -
work of the Aggie crew gave them a de-
cisive victory when they booted the ball fo r
two more goals, ending the game with th e
score 4 to 2 .
The game was thriling and was the firs t
soccer that many students had seen . Las t
year the sport was abandoned, but throug h
the work of Fahl it has been placed on th e
regular program again . Approximatel y
1500 people witnessed the Homecomin g
contest.
The beginning of soccer this year wa s
decidedly poor, only ten men reporting fo r
the first practice . But by interesting al l
he could, Coach Fahl finally got two team s
out for practice and after the O . A . C .
game he had a large turnout .
The men on the soccer team were : Gow-
ans, goal ; Pil, right fullback ; Pollack, lef t
fullback ; Series, center fullback ; Irwin ,
right halfback ; Giovando, center halfback ;
Riehau, right wing ; Reed, left wing ]
Priestly, left halfback ; Beatty, inside right ;
Lau, inside left .

IN the do-nut cross country meet, th e
this year, the Baehelordon trio of distanc e
men came out far in the lead with 12 point s
under the score of their nearest opponent .
Ten houses entered teams of three each .
The meet was a success from every stand -
point.
Just before the Oregon Frosh-Washing-

Friendly hall 36 ; Phi Kappa Psi 48 ; Sig -
ma Pi Tau 51 ; Oregon club 54 ; Kapp a
Delta Phi 57 ; Alpha Tau Omega 66 an d
Beta Theta Pi 71 .
The first eight men who finished in th e
do-nut meet were the group from whic h
Bill Hayward picked his varsity team .
These first eight in their order of finish-
ing were : Keating (Fiji) ; Tetz (Kapp a
Delta Phi) ; Crary (Bachelordon) ; Schult z

Rob Keating took first place by a larg e
margin and Tetz came in a short distanc e
behind him. The other men finished slowly .
The race was run on the short two mil e
course.
Do-Nut Basketball Lies Be-
tween Fijis and Beta
The do-nut basketball league is narrow-
ing down to the finals at present and an -
other week of play will determine the win-

ies of ties that will have to he played off t o
fix the relative standing of the teams .
Tied at the head of the list in League A
are Phi Gamma Delta and Beta Theta P i
teams. Each has won 5 games and los t
one and will have one more game apiece .
It is a matter of doubt which is the strong -
est. Both have fast, hard fighting aggre-
gations and if they play for the champion -
ship it will be a basketball game wort h
seeing.
Sigma Chi seems to have third place cinched

a strong team in their next two games an d

classes oaf}, 18 points. The meet was hel d
Saturday morning, November 17, and th e
times were good considering the cold fogg y
weather and the early season condition o f
the contestants.
The main idea of the fall track was t o
enable Bill Hayward to get a lineup on pos-
sible varsity material for the team nex t
spring. All events were run off excep t
the mile, which was eliminated so that i t
would not interfere with the Do-nut cros s

state. The News comments : "He seems to
have no particular secrets at football ,
though he is more secretive at footbal l
practice than were his predecessors at Cor-
nell. Yet he is publishing his plays dail y
in a syndicated news service, and thos e
who read the sport pages and watch hi s
teams can see the plays in theory and prac-
tice. Last year he told his whole syste m
in a series of articles in The America n

a sort of quasi alumnus . I will have a fraudulent feeling, how -

sorry to see by OLD OREGON the death of Lee Travis, who wa s

Rolfe Interested in Old Scene s
Erwin M . Rolfe, 3, writes from 210 Polk street, Pueblo ,
Colo., to a friend at the University : "It is now past ten year s
since T left old Oregon, and I fear I have not kept up wit h
affairs of the old school as T should . Tint here for bette r
resolutions.
"You know, after you have been away for just so long ,
there comes a terrific, yearning to see the old school and th e
scenes of the happiest days in our whole life . That time ha s
come to ine, and while I have been neglectful in the past, I
have resolved to keep in closer touch .
"I saw a picture of the campus a few days ago and to an d
behold there was not a familiar building in the whole pano-
rama. How the school has improved .
"I left Eugene in 1914 and went to Montana and staye d
there until a few months ago when I came to Pueblo to take a
job with the steel works, which is one of the Rockefeller plants .
T like it fine here het T am anxious to get . back to the coas t
within easy access of Eugene . I think I lost interest in Ore-
gon affairs for this reason : the first fall and the second fal l
I was out I wrote to the Emerald asking them to send me the
paper. and I never received a copy . It sort of took the hear t
out of me ."
Shelley Will Have Three Ready
R. S . Shelley, 4, of Eugene, writes : "The Homecomin g
number of OLD Osaunw was received with joy . Where am TI
Over the post office, Eugene, Oreg . What have I done ?
Worked for Uncle Sam for seventeen years, and acquired three
voencsters . What do I intend to dol Keen on working an d
send the aforesaid youngsters through `dear old 17 . of O .On e
at a time of course, since a federal salary does not justify a
more ambitions undertaking ."

Caroline Alexander, 9, writes from Holyoke, Mass .:
"When my October OLD OREGON reached me today at th e
Holyoke City hos pital where I attempt to teach ten probationer s
the rudiments of nursing, I heearne so engrossed in the new s
that I almost forgot to collect the articles necessary to demon-
strate the making and application of a flaxseed_ aultice .
"I am planning to leave the profession of nursing for matri-
mony in January, 1924 . I am going to be married to Dr . Charles
A. Weymuller (Nebraska 1919) . We will live in New Yor k
where Charles is engaged in research under the auspices of th e
Cornell Medical school and the direction of Dr . Oscar Schloss ,
one of the country greatest pediatrists .
"My only regret is that I shall not be able to make my hom e
in Oregon ."
Thompson Notes Contrasts at Big Gam e
Herbert Thompson, ex-6, writes from New York :
"Wayne Osburn, a Eugene boy, took meto the Yale-Princeto n
game at New Haven, where I was a good deal more intereste d
in the buildings than the game . Yale contains some beautifu l
groups. But it has no beautiful stream, like the millrace, whic h
reminds me so much of the Thames at Oxford and the Ca m
which trails behind the Cambridge college acks .
"The game was marked by an admirable spirit of snorteman-
ship. I noticed that college affiliations were indicated by a col-
ored feather in the hat or a bit of color displayed rather incon-
spicuously. Only the bands wore hats in college colors . Ther e
were no canes nor pennants . The contrast to the jazzy displa y
of noise and color in California was striking .
"We have had the pleasure of seeing Helene Robinson Hen-
dershott, a Eugene girl, here visiting with her husband ."
Mrs . Johns Writes of Japanese Disaste r
Elizabeth Et-web Johns (Mrs . C. A .), 3, writes from Manila :
"I think we shall leave for the states next April and then ,
maybe, I can get to Eugene for Commencement . However, I a m
enjoying life over here and am perfectly satisfied and contented .
"Right now everyone is much concerned over the terribl e
Japan disaster . (Mrs . Johnsletter was written in Septembe r
and was sent to Paris by accident, then returning to Eugene) .
We are busy raising money, getting together clothing and food -
stuffs for the unfortunate . Some are predicting a similar dis-
aster for Manila and the Philippines somewhere toward the clos e
of the month . Manyseem concerned over their property an d
are taking out earthquake and fire insurance .
"However, I don feel worried, as a disaster of this kin d
always brings out so many prophets and panic-seeking individuals .
"I cant forget the impression Yokohama made on me whe n
we were there . While there seemed to be fine buildings and

shops, and a few evidences of money, I thought that I had neve r
seen such crowds of poor, underfed people I sa w
seemed to have sore eyes, a running nose, and to require medical
treatment of one kind or another . Yokohama never looked like
flowery Japan to me, and now to think of all the additional
suffering and poverty-it is terrible . It may be cruel to say ,
but maybe now that the overcrowded population has been de -
creased in numbers, Yokohama may be able to rise out of it s
ruins and poverty and become quite a city again ."
Helen Hair Lays It Onto  3
Helen Hair Wood, 9, writes from 437 1st Street, Hayward,
Calif .: "I haven quite recovered from the newspaper report tha t
O. A . C. actually Iicked Oregon-and there no `sevenmixe d
up in it either? Does the Associated Press ever make a mistake ?
1 can believe such awful news . Couldn that so called .wonder
class of 3 arrange their Homecoming any better than that ?
"I saw the Golden Bears beat Washington 9 to 0, but they
didn play as well as Ie seen the Oregon boys do when they
cleaned up the coast . Surely them days ain gone forever ."
OUR TREA T
Verne Blue, 2, is on the history staff of the University
of Hawaii and not in the graduate school of the Universit y
of California as asserted in the November OLDOREGON. H e
was at California Iast year ,
Wes Schulmerich, affectionately referred to as a membe r
of the Frosh football squad at Oregon in the November issu e
of this magazine, has never attended Oregon and possibly in -
tends never to do so . He is a member of the Rook squad a t
O. A . C . The mistake was one perfectly comprehensible t o
newspaper writers ; wholly incomprehensible to most othe r
people . We leave it at that .
The class of 1879, pictured in the November OLDORsGON
was labeled the class of 1897 .
The headline stating that W . S . C . defeated Orego n
13 to 0 was a mistake and a tragedy . Oregon rolled up  7
points .
"I do enjoy OLDOaEuox so much, and also does my mother ."

Helen Whitaker is again at Myrtle Point . She writes tha t
