OREGON WILL LAND
SECOND PLAGE B!
DEFEATING IDAHO
TEAM FROM MOSCOW IS RE
PORTED STRONGER THEN
EVER THIS SEASON
CONFUSION RESOLTS IF OREGON LOSES
Oregon the Only College Who Has
Not Lost to Other Than
Washington.
With the Northwest Conference
Championship in football practically
cinched by Washington, the main in
terest is focused on the race for sec
ond place. A pretty contest is on be
tween Oregon, Washington State,
and Idaho, and it can be satisfactorily
decided only by Oregon’s defeating
Idaho next Saturday.
Whitman’s three successive defeats
by Oregon, Idaho and Washington
State put that college out of the run
ning. Should Idaho win from Oregon
Saturday the whole situation would
be hopelessly confused. Oregon cer
tainly could no longer claim second
honors, but Idaho’s previous defeat
by Washington State would spoil the
Moscowites’ title. On the other hand
Washington State could make no bet
ter claim because the Farmers lost
to Oregon. Thus the dopester who
would endeavor to figure out a win
ner would find himself traveling in a
circle and arriving at his starting
point with no new light on the sub
ject.
It is therefore up to Oregon to beat
Idaho and put her rivals out of mis
ery. Oregon is the only school which
has not been beaten except by Wash
ington. Idaho is going to furnish a
stubborn contest, for her team has
shown a remarkable improvement
since the beginning of the season.
Although defeated by Washington
State 17 to 0, she came back and beat
Whitman 5 to 0, after the Mission
aries had shattered Oregon’s nerves
in that thrilling 8 to 5 contest. Ida
ho is stronger now than ever before
this season. Although light, her team
is exceedingly speedy and versatile,
and Oregon has no easy road before
her Saturday.
This is the final conference game of
the year for Oregon, and the last
game to be played on Kincaid Field.
There will be a preliminary exhi
bition between Eugene High School
and Oregon’s second team which will
be a thriller, with quarters brief
enough to give time for the main
event. Another attraction will be the
four-mile cross-country relay to be
participated in by all four classes of
the University and which will finish
in front of the grandstand. The first
game Saturday will be called at 2:-°>0
and a bargain-day rate of fifty cents
wall be charged.
The officials Saturday wall be: Var
nell. referee; Schmidt, umpire; Stott
field judge. Oregon will present prac
tically the same line-up as in the
Portland massacre.

Eight Men From Each Class Will
Strive for Cup Presented By
Bristow.
A choice aggregation of long wind
ed sprinters will be selected this aft
ernoon when the tryouts for the inter
class cross country teams will be held
for the race to be pulled off before the
Oregon-Idaho game next Saturday.
This will not be a regular cross
country race, though made up of cross
country men largely, but will be a
four mile relay race. Each team will
be composed of eight men and each
man will run one-half mile. The Sen
iors are the only class which will not
be represented in the tryouts, but
they consider that they know the abil
ities of their runners well enough to
select a team without the preliminary
run.
The winner of the relay race next
Saturday will be presented with a sil
ver cup put up by Wilshire Bristow,
TO, a former prominent track man,
who is now an enterprising jeweler in
Eugene. This cup is to be the per
manent property of the class winning
it.
The regular interclass cross coun
try race will be pulled off immediately
after the Christmas vacation over a
course of three and one-half miles or
even a longer course. Gold, silver
and bronze medals will be given to
those finishing in first, second, and
third place respectively.

SPEAKER EXPOUNDS
ON SINGLE TAX IN
STUDENT ASSEMBLY
STONE DWELLS ON THE PRES
ENT WORLD MOVEMENT TO
EQUITABLE TAX
SHOWS MERITS OF SYSTEM WHERE TRIED
Proposes to Change Basis of Taxation
from Personal Property to
Land.
At the Assembly Hour this morn
ing a very instructive address on the
proposed Single Tax for Oregon was
given by H. W. Stone, who is a strong
supporter of this movement. Mr.
Stone divided his address into four
main headings: The Theory of the
Question, the Present World Trend
Toward Equitable Taxation, the
Present Condition in Oregon, and
What the Proposed Single Tax Will
Accomplish. Mr. Stone, while ex
plaining the theory, made this part of
his address very brief and passed im
mediately to his second heading. He
presented a chart which showed that,
at the present time, this system or
some modification of it was being act
ively supported in England, Ireland,
Germany, Australia, New Zealand,
and various cities in Western Canada.
The conditions in these countries were
shown to be greatly superior to those
existing in Oregon at the present
time.”
“Under the existing Oregon
System,” said Mr. Stone, “the
personal property forms the
chief basis of taxation, while little or
no stress is laid on land or property
valuation. Thus the speculator who
holds unimproved land pays little or
nothing, while the person who im
proves his property must pay for
every improvement he makes. This
is manifestly unfair and opposed to
growth, and so this movement has
been started to change the basis of
taxation from personal property to
valuation of rights, franchises, and
land.”
PHI
I
First Editor of Oregon Weekly Helped
Pay Deficit At End of
Year.
The editor is in receipt of a letter
from “Pat” C. N. McArthur, ex- j
speaker of the State House of Repres
entatives, who is at present practicing
law in the Yeon building in Portland,
asking that the Emerald be sent to
him. “Pat” was the first editor of the
Oregon Weekly and tells of the dif
ficulties he experienced in putting out
that paper. He says:
“I was the first editor of the Ore
gon Weekly, and in addition to put
ting in a lot of hard work on the
sheet, 1 put up $50 cash to help pay
the deficit at the end of the year.
College journalism wasn’t very profit
able in those days, but 1 hope you fel
lows, who are in the sanctum now,
don’t have to put up your coin to keep
the paper from being taken over by
the sheriff.”
“Pat” has promised to send the
Em "-old a communication after the
football season, telling a few things
that, in his opinion, must be done
before we can win from Dobie’s aggre
gation. This article will be thank
fully received and will undoubtedly be
read with much interest by the gen
eral student body.

ATHLETIC GOUNCIL HELD
Prof. Schafer Would Choose Coach
With Moral and Scholastic
Qualifications.
At a meeting of the Athletic Coun
cil last night, money was voted to
finance a reception to be given in
Portland to the students of the Law
and Medical Schools, Wednesday
evening preceding the Multnomah
game, in the Selling-llirsch Building,
in appreciation of the loyal support
given the University by these col
leges.
Pat McArthur, John Veatch, Jack
Latourette, and other Alumni in Port
land, will assist Manager Geary in
making this reception portray the
gratitude of the of the Eugene people
to their brothers in Portland and ce
ment more closely the brotherhood al
ready existing.
Prof. Schafer, the new faculty mem
ber of the council, appointed to take
the place left vacant by Prof. Glenn,
was initiated and took an active part
in the proceedings throughout the
evening.
At his suggestion, the committee on
appointment of a coach for next year,
was changed so that Pres. Campbell
will act as an additional member to
look into the morals and past scholar
ship of the candidates for coach.
Prof. Schafer’s idea is to secure a
coach who will conceive the student’s
good in a larger aspect than just mere
football, one who will think of their
scholarship and their moral develop
ment as well as the perfection of their
physical powers. He thinks that it is
detrimental to have a coach about,
who indulges in cigarette smoking and
kindred vices.

OREGON LOSES 10
GREATEST TEAM IN
THE NORTHWEST
GAME WAS AN EXHIBIT OF
CLEAN FLAYING AND GOOD
SPORTSMANSHIP
DOBIE’S SUPERIOR COACHING WON FIGHT
Oregon Men Fought With Bulldog
Spirit From First to Last of
Game
(By Jimmie Roberts)
“The moving finger having writ”
Washington 2!), Oregon IT, and moved
on, there is little left to be said con
cerning the historic Nov. 18th. To
rehash the details of the game would
be superfluous as every student on the
campus knows them. The score ap
proximately represents the machine
woik of the two teams, rather than a
man to man comparison of strength.
The victory was a result of Washing
ton’s strength and not Oregon’s
weakness. Nor can it be said that
Oregon did not give them the best
they had because Captain Main’s
warriors were battling as hard at the
final whistle as at the start. It was
merely a case of Dobie’s superiority
as a coach. Hats off to the lanky
Scot.
From a spectator s point of view the
flame was one of the cleanest and best
ever pulled off on a Northwest grid
iron. The two teams fought it out to
a finish, played the game and played
it clean. The sight of a couple of
purple and gold players assisting an
Oregon man to his feet with the word
“Good work old boy,” and vice versa
was a new sight and a treat to foot
ball fans who may have expected a
knock down and drag out game and a
frolic of the rooters afterward, in
which the opposing factions attempt
to exchange hats and armbands, and,
incidentally, caress each other with
some sort of silent effective weapons.
There is no spirit extant on the
campus to curse the fates or figure
where wo could have won under the
circumstances. Washington by long
odds had the best team, which inci
dentally might be said to be about the
cleverest and smoothest working elev
en that ever performed on the coast.
When Oregon has to lose there is a
little satisfaction left to allay the
sting of defeat in knowing that the
master has been met and a good clean
victory won by them.
