Settle Down
Perhaps the time is not far distant
when Oregon can adopt the graduate
coach system, but in the meantime it is
bad policy to secure a new coach and
adopt a different system of football ev
ery year or two.
All the great colleges have developed
individual styles or schools of football,
and the men each college turns out fol
low, in general, their alma mater’s stlye
of play. During the comparatively
short career of the game at Oregon,
nearly all of these famous systems have
been tried. In 1903 Locomotive Smith
came from California, and then came
Dick Smith, of All-American fame, from
Columbia', liruce Shorts, the exponent
of the Yost Michigan system, coached
in l'tt)5, and was followed by Bezdeck,
who had learned the game under Staggs
at Chicago. We then went back to New
England for Cordon B. Frost Jr. Rob
ert Forbes came from Yale, and we
heard much about the “Yale System.”
When In' lelt, alter two years, we were
just beginning to understand what the
ale System" meant, and were ready
to play it clleetivoly. lie taught the
men the Yale formations, the Yale way
of running with the ball, and forming
interference. I he new coach, and we
never bad a better one, comes from a
diflereut college, and naturally lias dif
ferent methods of developing a team.
It lias necessarily taken him consider
able time to work over the old men
and teach them bis methods. So it
has been with every coach before him.
■\ut that anyone would advocate re
taining one man permanently, but much
ot this ellort ot relearning the game an
nually would be avoided by adopting
a good system, selecting our coaches
from the players turned out by the one
college t >i course, the game changes
every year, I ait the Eastern colleges
keep abreast cl the rules, and there is
not much relative difference in their
ranking front year to year.
My thus adopting some definite poli
cy and some detinue style of play, each
coach would leave his successor a heri
tage of old men trained to suit him,
and thus the serious development of
the team could start much earlier every
fall.
The history of coaching at Oregon
has been a history of i xperiments in the
dillcrent systems. Settle of these have
cost ti-- dearly in the season's success.
\\\ should adopt some good system se
lector from tin many we have tried,
and adhet c to it ■ • ulily.

PROF. BUI SPEAKS
#11II. C. A. MEETING
First of Lectures Dealing With
Social Life of the Col
lege Man
One of the most thoroughly practical
and interesting addresses that have been
given before the Y. M. C. A. for some
time was the address of Professor Bo
vard last night. This is the first time
that Professor Bovard has spoken be
fore the Association, but it will most
asuredly not be the last time.
The address was the first of a series
of “College Men’s Problems,” and dealt
with the social life of the college man.
Professor Bovard brought out the idea
that a man is only truly educated when
he has cultivated a number of points
of contact with society, and that the so
cial life of the University, in which men
come into close and intimate friendship,
as well as meet many types of men and
get the view point of a large number of
individuals, is one of the most valuable
phases of education that the University
affords. TTe urged the men to know
each other better and to come into a
better understanding and sympathy with
their associates.
The next number of the series, “Col
lege Ethics,” will be given a week from
last night. The speaker has not been
definitely secured yet, but if the man
whom the committee has in mind re
sponds, those who come out for this
address will be assured of a good talk.
GERMAN CLUB HOLDS
FORTH AT LAMBDA RHO
' The German club held its regular
meeting Tuesday evening at the Lambda
Rho House. The program was as fol
lows: l ’iano solo by Raphael Geisler;
a recitation, by Ferdinand Struck; a
dialogue, entitled “Er est nicht eifer
seichtig,” by Mr. Martin and Miss Wil
liamson ; a talk in German, by Mr.
llornstein, who has just come to this
country from Germany.
The German quartet, composed of Mr.
Curtis, Mr. Motschenbacher, Mr. Farris
and Mr Martin, sang some of their
famous German songs.
After the program the guests engaged
in German conversation and spent the
remainder of the evening dancing.
A committee was apponted to arrange
for a German play to be given the lat
ter part of the semester.
A “Musical Stag,” so called, is the
next scheduled social event planned by
the social committee of the Y. M. C. A.
With no football games in Eugene, and
no other social events of University
interest to attend, Saturday evening,
November 10. will otherwise be an un
usually quiet evening. To avert such
a condition of stagnation, thos committee
is arranging to have something doing.
A “Musical Stag” is an informal so
cial event “for men only.” as the side
show spoiler announces, with a short
but varied program of what isn't gen
erally recognized as classical music, and
other stunts of interesting nature. Fol
lowing the program, which is given by
various Cuiversity artists of recognized
ability, refreshments of somewhat dif
ferent nature than those usually dished
up will be provided for the consumption
of the men.
\ similar event which was given last
vc.tr iti't before the Christmas holidays
was so thoroughly successful that the
committee is encouraged to arrange for
another such program and for a con
siderably larger crowd.

DR. SCHAFER TALKS 10
STUDENTS AT ASSEMBLY
“Some Conditions of Leadership”
Is His University Extension
Lecture
“The desire to lead is one of the com
monest among the higher forms of am
bition,” said Professor Schafer at as
sembly Wednesday. “This should be
especially true among college students.
For, in all ages, the seats of higher
learning have been thronged by those
whose natures tingled with desire to
achieve.”
He spoke of the influences which go
to help the collegian maintain his am
bition, particularly the current belief
that college training makes for leader
ship, and he pointed out that while
nominally this should be true, yet “not
all collegians have been leaders, and
not all leaders have been collegians.”
“There must be,” he said, “some secret
process by which effective personality
can actualize ambitions, and it is worth
while for college students to try to find
out what this process is, in order that
fewer may miss that leadership at which
presumably all aim.
“By leadership is not meant, not prom
inence or conspicuousness, for multi
tudes have been prominent without pos
sessing a spark of true leadership. Nei
ther is leadership synonymous with man
agement. The difference between them
is in the way they respectively make
their appeal to that complex spiritual
organism we call the human personal
ity.”
He showed how, despite the wide ac
ceptance among philosophers of the doc
trines of "the unity of the will,” the hu
man personality in one important re
spect was dual and not unitary. For,
there is in each individual a conven
tional surface character and a deeper
true character. The surface character
is what the world sees and reckons with;
the generality of men see little because
they are not seers, and the deeper na
ture is not exposed.” ,
“The manager, as opposed to the lead
er, is he who, on the whole, appeals to
the conventional, surface character.”
He then defined leadership as "the
appeal of the real man to real men, bid
ding them do something worthy of their
manhood.”
Civil leadership was not different, he
said, from the cases of prophets, poets,
or artists—the world’s leaders in these
great and well recognized lines.
He then developed the process of
training which, on the intellectual .side,
makes for leadership. His last general
topic was the relation of morality to
leadership, lie showed how the moral
nature is dominant in the personality,
and indicated the exceptional resources
which the college student passes for the
development of his moral nature, along
with the intellectual, instancing espe
cially the profound study of great moral
character, whether prophets, poets, or
men of action.
FRESHMEN SHOOT UPPER
CLASSMEN WITH ROCKETS
Between the enthusiasm from within
and the sparks from without, a few of
Thursday night’s rooters were heated
to the point of discomfort.
I'he sparks seemed to be the least de
sired of the two, for whenever a spark
was noticed gently settling down the
neck of an individual, the individual
in question indulged in a series of clev
erl\ executed gymnastics, very enter
taining from a spectator’s standpoint.
The finished results of the various
accidents were brought out in classes
Fridas morning. The various assort
ment of bandaged eyes, noses, fingers,
and of singed eyebrows, trousers and
coats, all spoke the success of the rally.
