Good Sportsmanship That Saturday's game was rough am dirty, was due, not so much to the fresh man players, as to the action of the Or egon rooters, who abused the visitius, players and incited both teams to rough ness. I lie crowd seemingly forgot the re quircments of good sportsmanship, am the courtesies of hospitality. I he con duct of the bleachers was crude and un fair, contrary to all Oregon’s tradition for fair play. Such conduct is calcu I ted to give serious grounds for doubt whether Oregon is the fair-mindec catholic college it professes to he, 01 merely as some of our larger and great or cou-lvmpwaries state, a brush .college where defeated teams are stoned out o town. Many attempts have been made to define Oregon spirit, but whatevei else it lias stood for, it has not beet romtyp in and t ewighin ss.

I ries of "Kill 'em," and "soak hint." are always ill timed, »nd out of place at games between college men, sup posed to he gentlemen, hut are panic ul.irly indefensible at a freshman game, where twenty two youngsters are panic ipating in their first intercollegiate ath letic event. Ilu freshmen were '-till unemhitU'ird with college rivalries, and would have doubtless played clean ball, bad it not been for the malevolence of some of the rooters' remarks. Older men accustomed to Varsity game--, would have been oblivious to the bleachers, and kept a steady head; but the freshmen got the idea that lighting was 1,-quired in college football, . ul did tln- r best to itiate the crowd’s thirst for blood Response.due f)or the discreditable atlair rests upon those in authority on the laid and upon the upperclassmen present. win should have resisted the tendency toward mob mind, and who hv precept and een-u: 11 on Id have kept the rooter' eal within the bounds of propriety and <am in nt.al balance.

Itingtoii men fn-m Kincaid Field I ho is not a plea for “lady like foot ball" Occasions will arise when rough ness -.eenis iiccess iry. but the coaches, trainer - and c plants are there to ad vise the men, and insults and howls from the bleachers are always inexcus ; able. Saturday’s performance was a dis gr ce to the college. For the honor of Oregon, let us each and all guard against a repetition. O. A. C. is taking steps to institute a system of student government in all ! matters of student discipline. A com ! mittee of students was appointed to con fer with President Kerr as to how much latitude in this line the faculty could gr- nt. This is an important step for- j ward, and it augurs well for the spirit of any college when the students ask to assume the responsibilities and privi leges of self government. Such a sys tem should give valuable training to every student's sense of honor, and would also afford valuable experience! in civics, certain to lie valuable in later ’ life. Why not institute student self gov ernment here at Oregon? Trainer Hayward’s plan for inter fraternity and interclass leagues is an excellent onfcs. These games should I bring out new men, interest a larger number of students in basketball and supply an incentive for lots of us to take j ’ regular exercise who are fast becoming book worms and library ghosts. Inter frternity baseball discovered several new diamond artists, and intracollege bas ketball may do the same thing for that | branch of sport. The University of Idaho takes its dis appointing defeat gracefully, and in the college paper gives Coach Warner’s men all credit as a wonderful team. Idaho j shows no rancor, makes no excuses and [ doc-- not seek to detract from the credit j due the victors. It is this ability to fight hard, and if needs be to lose smil-j inglv, that constitutes gameness, a qual- S ity the Idahoans have never lacked. Star Spangled Banner to Wave Above Villard \n excavation at the northwest cor-1 tier of Villard Hall marks the spot where a new Hag pole will be erected within the next few days. The pole, a beautiful stick of lir. 02 feet long, and | but 10 incites iiydianjvter at the bottyiij,' was secured last spring from a farmer ! near b'ugene. r »v 1 Its planted seven feet deep in cement, and will be terfui-, n te(| with a golden brass ball 16 inches1 in diameter. Oregon lias boasted several flag poles, but none were permanent. Several years! ago there was one near the Condon J Oaks and later a flag pole was pro jected from a front window of Villard Mali. Wither of these were perma nent. As soon as the pole is in place, students will see the stars and stripes floating some thirty feet above the high-j cst point of Villard 11 all.

MIRACLES WILL NEVER CEASE SAYS SEC. BROWN After Prayer Y. M. Feeds 120 Ravenous Co-Eds on Fifteen Pies “It was like the parable of the loaves and fishes,” said Secretary Brown in speaking of the Y. \Y. C. A. banquet Monday. “We fed pic to 120 hungry co-eds when there was only pie enough for 85. You see we divided each pie into sec tions of 45 degrees, then when the un expected 35 came in we used protractors and by the aid of knives bisected these angles. “Each pie might he considered as in- j finite and the sizes of the pieces as in commensurables constantly approaching the limit zero—” but the ungeometrical reporter fled in commensurable haste before his brain was further befuddled. Anyhow, the upshot of the matter was that the co-eds all had a rollicking good time—even better than if they had been gorged on pie. Possibly the: large attendance may be accounted for by the announcement that the pillars of the Y. AT. C. A. would supply the ser vice. “They also serve who only stand and wait,” and they were all there in white aprons, from President Charles Koyl to Secretary Brown himself. Mrs, Bovard made an excellent toastmaster, or rather toasitmistress, and called on the following: “The Kick-off,” “The Coach,” “The Sidelines,” “The Scrimmage,” “The Goal,” Edith Woodcock Airs.
