A Message to Young Men
f
By DA V ID ST A R R JO RD O N
Chancellor Emeritus, Stanford University
"“““ "TOUR first duty in life is to your
afterself. So live that your after-
self—-the man you ought to be—
may in his time be possible and
actual. Far away in the years he
is awaiting his turn. His body,
his brain, his soul. are in your
boyish hands. He cannot help
himself. What will you leave for
him?
Will it be a brain unspoiled by lust or dissi­
pation; a mind trained to think and act; a ner­
vous system as true as a dial in its response to
the truth around you? Will you, boy, let him
come as a man among men in his time? Or
will you throw away his inheritance before he
has had the chance to touch it? Will you turn
over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseased;
a will untrained to action; a spinal cord grown
through and through with the devil-grass we
call wild oats?
Will you let him come, taking your place,
gaining through your experience, happy in
your friendship, hallowed through your joys,
building on them his own? Or- will you fling it
all away, decreeing and wanton-like, that the
man you might have been shall never be?
This is your problem in life—the problem
vastly more important to yourself than any or
all others. How will you meet it, as a man or
as a fool? It is your problem today and every
day, and the hour of your decision is the crisis
of your destiny.

T he 42 to 0 score the Oregon Frosh rolled up against
our team at E ugene last Friday tells som ething of a
onesided gam e b ut nothing of the th irty to thirty-five
pound advantage in w eight per man the frosh had on
us, nor does it tell of th e gam ely fought, uphill battle
our boys p u t up against such odds. T hough facing
certain defeat the team fought like demons and actu­
ally grew stronger as the game progressed.
In the first half the freshm an ran almost rough shod
over our eleven to score 28 points. But the second
half saw almost a complete reversal of play. In the
two final periods our team gained more yardage from
scrimmage and made more first downs than did th eir
husky opponents.
T he following tw enty-four men made the trip to
E ugene and all b u t two got into some part of the game:
Joe A lexander, A lbert M iller, Ben Bear, ends; Jam es
M cKay, George T hom pson, W illiam Jones, H a rry
A rcham beau, tackles; Isaac C urly, Benny Charley,
G eorge T ittle T ight, Joe Ball, guards; Alonzo Hoover,
Robert Perkins, center; Julian Sm ith, quarter-back;
Roy Meachem, A lex Gouley, fullbacks; W allace H osie,
Dowd F ranklin, W arren W ilder, George McGriff,
Clarence W eaver, H ow ard Churchill, and John T ro t-
tier, halfbacks.
T he test of our metal is now at hand. W ith a short­
age of replacem ents and the im portant games on our
schedule ju st around the corner it is now simmered
down to a m atter of “ root hog or d ie .” T hree first
team regulars were placed on the ineligible list last
week and will be denied fu rth er com petition for the
rest of the season. W hile th at seem ingly puts a crim p
in things generally it would be a p retty safe bet th a t
some one else will rise to the occasion and m ake things
go.
T he lowly freshmen knocked the props from under
the juniors last week in a regular league battle 7 to 6. A
drop kick from the tru sty toe of Mr. H ow ard C hurc­
hill was the little stunt th at tu rn ed the trick. In the
th ird period the juniors started w ith a m ad ru sh and
E dgar Simmons plowed through th e line for the ju n ­
iors’ lone score. T he try for point failed. T hen
started a w hirl of passes, end runs and line plunges by
the freshm en th at enabled them to cross th e ju n io rs’
goal in spite of their determ ined defense.
No league game this week because of other im por­
ta n t events on the program . If things w ork out
according to H oyle our first team will meet W est T ynn
here F riday.
