OSTERH0LM .’ll Saturday, October 9, 1909 CHAMPIONSHIPS Yes, Oregon has several champion ships to win this year. The football championship is one and it looks as though she might get it. Hu:t how about the championships that tire hers to be kept? They are just as important and, what’s more, one of them at least is very doubtful—track. For the last four years Oregon has not been defeated in a track meet. In the triangular contest she has won more points th,an Washington and Idaho com bined. Shall this phenomenal record be not upheld? Unless there is soon a radical change in the situation Oregon will he defeated this year. Trainer Hayward says that it makes him faint at heart to think of the coming season because of the dis couraging lack of material. 11 is old point winners are gone. To his call for recruits, the freshmen seem deaf. What's the matter with you fresh men? You have the chance of a life time. A depleted track team calls for you. One of the greatest trainers in the world offers you his services, lie has trained world heaters, many of them coming to him without the slightest apparent ability, lie should have fifty freshmen on the track every night. I wo weeks from tonight the first (rack meet of the year will take place. I lie freshmen should win; they have the largest class. Hut present indica tions are that they will not. This is not an annual hard luck story. It is a fact. Unless the freshmen fur nish some first class point winners, Ore gon's prestige is doomed. Many seem to think that nothing is needed hut a trainer. I here never was a more tool ish thought. Hayward can’t win with out men. (iet out ami support him. A Corvallis newspaper correspondent recently made a strange allusion to Bergman, the O. A. C hurdler, as the champion high and low hurdler of the Northwest. Our Corvallis friends have evidently forgotten the fact that during last season Bergman was three times defeated h\ Martin 11. Hawkins of the Universitv of Oregon in the high hur dles. And m two of those instances it was a positive walk away for the Ore gon man. The I merald Inis had some difficulty in making arangements for the deliv ery of the first isues of the paper. The manager now has the matter well in hand and will hereafter get a copy to every subscriber the same day it is printed. Subscribers who are missed will confer a favor on the editor by reporting the oversight immediately to the Emerald office. 1 be manager gets tbe blame. Last night’s rally showed the proper spirit. The freshmen are getting it— we knew they would. The Oregon spirit, however, is not an end. It is only the means to an end. It brings results that rivals marvel at. After the spirit shown last night we expect to see the freshmen turning part of it into use ful channels by doing something them selves for their college. MINISTERS SHOULD HELP THEIR WIVES Ministers should help their wives with the house work, both as a recompense for tbe intellectual aid and inspiration they receive from their wives, and as a means of recreation. Such was the decision of the Eutaxian society, last Wednesday night, after hearing a spir ited extempore debate on the subject between Essie Sechrist, Birdie Wise, and Alice Larsen for the affirmative, and Naomi Williamson, Lilah Clark and Frances Young for the negative. Two minute impromptu speeches were given by Jessie Calkins, Jennie Lilley and Ethel Johnson on the respective subjects: “A College Girl’s Ideal Man,” “The Eutaxians,” “The Mill Race.” NEWS OF INTEREST TO THE ALUMNI Walter Eaton, '09, is deputy county surveyor for Lane County.

C. have both written for a debate with Oregon during this year. Monday af ternoon at four o’clock the debate com mittee will meet and decide what ac tion to take. It is very probable that the Utah de bate will be undertaken; but if the rule laid down four years ago to debate only state universities is followed, the challenge from O. A. C. cannot be ac cepted. Debate prospects this year arc by far the brightest they have been since the championship team of 1907. Coach Buehen has been hard at work with the old material and the men enrolled in the debating course are laying a firm foundation for any question that is liable to come up, though it is prac tically certain that “National Incorpora tion’’ will be selected for the interstate debate. When interviewed in the matter, Coach Buehen said, “There seems to be a host of freshman material, but whether they will get out and work or lay back as they have in football i am unable to say. One thing is cer tain. however, whether old men or new, those who turn out for debate this year will have to work. There will he no slip-shod methods tolerated.” TEN DOLLAR FIRE; NO INSURANCE Fire in the home of the Hood River boys’ club at 1180 Woodcock Ave., last Wednesday night destroyed laundry to the value of ten dollars, none of which was insured. Only the timely arrival of the city marshal saved the entire build ing. The members blame freshman carelessness for the catastrophe. 1 lie next few weeks will see great strides made in the progress of the Oregana. W. E. Boddy J. E. Russell (J. of o.
