Something to Remember An extraordinary incident occurred during tlie game yesterday. This was when the rooters of the two opposing colleges met between halves without pre cipating a riot. "That a light did not result was, we believe, due to the coolness and manli ness of the Oregon men. Mow they refrained from violence was a mystery to all who watched them. It was not that they gave in for they did not give in more than to refuse to follow the example of their opponents. It was that they could look upon a violation of their rights and yet pay no attention to the rowdy actions of the visitors. We believe there can he no question but that the Oregon men were in the right and would have been justified in resorting to violent means in dealing with their opponents. At most colleges, a moment’s thought discovers to the students that simple ethics calls for them to have some regard for the rights of others. Accordingly the cus tom has grown up and is almost uni versally followed for the home rooters to have the privilege of marching on the held before the game and between halves. After the game the winning side has the right. Our friends from Corvallis, however, following an apparently insane desire to he conspicuous whenever and wherever their nutnhers and appearance will make them conspicuous, have always ignored this rule and monopolized the field on all occasions, 1 wo years .ago, they even crowded onto the field during the game and had to he "herded oil l>v their own players. On accotm' of this tendency on their part, Manager (ioodmau this year took steps to prevent it. lie made an ex plicit agreement with the O. A. t . Man ager that they were to have the field before the game and Ore.,on was to havt the same privilege between halves. The Oregon rooters kept (licit word. 1.very one >a\\ how the visitors kept theirs. they did more than violate their agreement, however. That much was done when they left their seats in the 1 leachers, but no harm would have resulted from it. Hut when they went further and deliberately surrounded the Oregon men and refused to make wv for them to return to their scats, they did that which was fraught with 'lie gravest dangers. It is because we < sal ize .hat danger and not because of any technical right or wrong that we speak of it after it has passed. We wish to avoid its recurrence. It was nothing short of miraculous that friction did not result and the fact that it did not result is no excuse for such actions. Moreover, to excuse it is only to invite its repitition in the fu ture as it has been repeated in the past. It is absolutely necessary that strict rules be adopted and that they be rigidly enforced. Now is the time to have it impressed on the minds of both parties so that those in charge next year will be prepared. The trouble always has been that no thought was given to the matter after it was over and it has been left unsettled for an other year. All fear that the “Oregon Spirit” was dead must have been silenced yesterday when the team settled down after the reverse in the first few minutes’ play. It was the old lighting spirit that has distinguished Oregon teams in the past. We may do injustice, hut it seemed to us that O. A. C. (lacked this vtery quality. After a little bad luck had lost them the game, their lighting spirit deserted them instead of being more in tensely aroused. It is said that the O. A. C. Captain struck one of his men in the game yes terday. We hope this is not true, hut if it is, there is a better expanation for their defeat than that Oregon had better men. No team can win whose men .are not on the best of terms. University of Washington, Nov. 16.— Total receipts for the Washington Whitman game November 6, amounted to 2,645 dollars, or more than the com bined receipts of the games played with Whitworth, Whitman, and W. S. C. last year. The students were admitted free, admission to all athletic contests being included in the privileges procured by the payment of a live-dollar registra tion fee. I he attendance was largeer than that of any game ever played on the local field. The seating capacity of the grand stands and bleachers was inadequate for the large crowd that attended the game. In consequence of this new bleachers will he built on the east end of the licld, and new grand stand between two old ones. There has been an agitation in the city of Seattle for the appropriation of money by the city council to maintain the A. V. P. Exposition grounds as a public park under the control of the city. There is a glow of feeling antag onistic to the project among the stu dents. It is generally felt that if the city secures control of the grounds they will virtually cease to be a part of the campus. The students are planning a campaign against the proposition, and if it is carried out it is probable that the measure will he defeated. At present there is a strong agitation in favor of naming Washington's new 250.01X1 dollar auditorium in honor of Professor S. Meany, head of the history department. Professor Meany has been .described as the “ideal alumnus.” He is a graduate of ‘85, has served in the state legislature, and for the past four teen years has been a member of the Washington faculty, tie is almost fan atical in his love and zeal for the in stitution. Every student and alumnus is heartily in favor of calling the struc ture "Meany Hall." The other name proposed was "Seward Hall." Registrar 11. T. Condon has recently published a directory of all students and faculty members in the university. It contains the names, addresses, and tele phone numbers of every man and wo DUNN’S BAKERY Bread, Pies, Cakes and Confectionery, also Ice Cream and Fruits. 4 E.

Washington did not eater the basket ball league recently established among the institutions of the Northwest. Why, is not known to the students at large, but it is thought that it was faculty inter vention. However, Washington’s live will make a trip through Oregon, meet ing Oregon, O. A. C., and several small colleges. The staff of the University of Wash ington Daily got out a football extra Saturday, covering the inter-collegiate and inter-scholastic games of the North west, and the big gridiron battles of the East. Book Review. “Representative College Orations,” by E. D. Shorter of the University of 1'exas, supplies a real need of those in terested in college oratory. The book contains ixty-tliree orations from as many different colleges in every part of the United States. It furnishes an excellent opportunity for the study of tite structure and style of the modern college oration. Moreover, it is of in terest to the general reader as an indi cation of what the college students of today are thinking and talking about. (The MacMillan Comapny, New York, $1.25 net.) Many Attend Y.
