Now that the graduate coach sy stem is being considered as one of the solutions for stimulating Oregon’s subnormal football stock, it seems timely to enter into the consideration of the scheme as it would apply here. Oregon has in her football alumni a number of men whose playing ability is recognized beyond (law or criticism, and who undoubtedly rank well with the great Eastern stars. But in con sidering one of these ex-Oregon stars for the vital position of head coach, there arises the probabilities whether the brightest star would prove equally as brilliant a coach; whether the best man could be secured; how long he could be induced to hold down the po sition; the manner in which the dif ferent student interests would accept his leadership; and how the players would submit to the arbitrary dis cipline which a good coach must em ploy in practice before and during the season. In all probability the best man could not be induced to take the posi tion, one or two years would be the limit of a graduate’s stay, and when a successor was called into harness, his system of coaching would differ as markedly from his predecessor as do the systems of two Eastern men from dilferent Universifies. What Oregon must have is a real coach, a professional with no other interests to call him away from a long contract, if he proves to be the right man. A man tried and not found wanting to go up against a man who has already t een tried and not found wanting. SO IMIS HOI I) WE10HTY MEET ini; to discuss finances The Sophomores class met in Dojuly llall at I o’clock Tuesday for the pur pose of discussing plans for Satur day's dance, and to solve certain pro blems in high finance, which confront the class. Ushers were appointed for Wednes day's program, after which treasurer Alva Croat gave an exhaustive report on the condition of the class exche quer. He showed the class to be only about forty dollars in debt, but the class thought it best to levy a tax of one dollar per member to cover ex ponses for the rest of the year. Professor Hovard. faculty advisor to the class of '1 1, gave a short ad dress on the subject of the coming class dance. He urged that Sopho mores should as much as possible, se lect classmates for their partners and render the event a true sophomore dance. • • ZEDNU K. t OP W M \N UiKK, MAKES MATK1MONI M 1MT NO E Victor Zednick, graduate manager of the University of Washington, was married Monday night to Miss Helen Tillman, of Oakland, Califor nia. Doth he and his bride were Washington alumni. After a short trip in the south, they return to Seat tie, where Zednick expects to resume his duties at the University. UTAH, ASPIRING, GALLS DOWN U. OF W. SPLEEN By Comparative Scores, Utah Dopes Out Championship, a la Willamette. Because the University of Utah rolled up a larger score against the University of Idaho eleven on Thanks giving day than did the University of Washington, in their previous battle with the gem staters, the former in stitution comes out with a claim for the coast championship in football. On October 28, the University of Washington eleven trimmed Idaho by a 17 to 0 score in easy fashion. In the Utah-Idaho Thanksgiving fest at Salt Lake, the Mormons took the long end of a 19 to 9 score. Now the basis on which Utah claims the coast cham pionship is in the fact that her team scored just two more points on the Idaho eleven than did Coach Dobie’s aggregation, evidently not taking into consideration the nine points which the panhandlers managed to get. The Washington Daily in comment ing on the situation states: “Comparative scores never get the dopester of football anywhere, but even judging from the scores the team from Utah had no license to a higher niche than Dobie’s veterans. Utah claims the Pacific Coast champion ship. Utah has become suddenly very funny in the eyes of the other North west colleges, but even funnier would Utah look if its team of huskies real ly connected with the Washington eleven. Of course, Idaho isn’t on the Pa cific Coast. Neither is Utah. But these two teams played for the cham pionship of the Coast. Now let Washington beat the University of Maine, and claim the championship of the South.” HENRY GEORGE CLUB TO HOLD BUSINESS MEETING There will be no public meeting of the Henry George Association this month, but a business meeting of the club will be held Tuesday evening, December 12, at 7 o’clock, in Dr. Schmidt’s room.
