Organization and Co-operation i
System of Graduate Coaches Will
Win—Says Pat.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 3. 1911.
To the Editor:
Oregon’s present system of footbal
coaching is admittedly a failure air
those who have given the subject sei
ious consideration are of the opinioi
that our only salvation lies in th
adoption of the graduate coach sy
stem. This sytem works satisfactor
ily in some of the institutions of th'
East and Middle West, as well as a
Stanford and California, when
alumni stars have done the coaching
for eight years.
It is argued in favor of the Alumn
coaches that the professional ele
ment is removed and that the ole
‘‘grads” who come Dack to the cam
pus every autumn come because thej
love their Alma Mater. In the se
lection of these graduates, charactei
and standing count as much as knowl
edge of the game, and there is little
or no chance of having a rowdy ir
charge of the ’varsity squad. This
statement is not intended as a reflec
tion upon our recent coaches, for we
have been singularly fortunate in
having good, clean men to direct our
gridiron activities, but under the
graduate system, only men of known
integrity and character will be se
lected.
Eastern coaches are usually high
priced and a small college like Oregon
can hardly afford to have more than
one of them at a time. As a result,
this one man is expected to direct the
team’s play, as well as give individual
instruction to various candidates;
sometimes, perchance, he has an Ore
gon alumnus for an assistant, but
the Oregon man knows little or
nothing of the style of play taught
by the head coach and general con
fusion results. No one coach can di
rect his team’s general play and at
the same time give individual instruc
tion, so the candidates for guard,
tackle, half-back, etc., are forced to
pick up the “fine points” of their po
sitions as best they can, and are fre
quently lacking in the rudiments of
Uie game—xacKimg, tailing- on the
ball, catching- punts, etc.
No team can win in the long run
unless its members know football
“from the ground up,” and, for this
reason, a staff of three or five grad
uate coaches, properly organized, can
do more toward developing a winning
team than can the best and most cele
brated Eastern star. If the Oregon
team of next season is placed in
charge of three alumni coaches—an
end, a back, and a lineman—there
will be a different story to tell when
Oregon faces Dobie’s crew. One of
these three men should be designated
as head coach and his word should be
taw, not only with the players, but
also with the other coaches. Addi
tional alumni could be brought back
from time to time to help along
where they could do good, and the
whole staff could work in harmony
and for the best interests of Oregon,
rhese alumni coaches, especially
:hose who would constitute the reg
ular coaching staff, should be com
pensated for their time and trouble,
or none of the Oregon football men
>f former days are rich enough to
spare three months each year for
-oaching without compensation. How
ever, the sum total paid to the reg
ilar coaches need not exceed the sum
paid to the head coach this year.
Under the graduate coaching sy
stem, there. should be a proper divi
sion and allotment of the work and a
perfect organization. If the first team
lemands the undivided attention of
he three regular coaches, additional
nstruction should be provided for
he second team, for every candidate
or gridiron honors should be and is
ntitled to instruction in the details
if the position to which he aspires, as
veil as in the rudiments of the game.
The “Oregon spirit,” which won so
nany games in former days, will
ring the old warriors back if Oregon
ecides to call them. There are a
core of old-timers who are available
nd who will be glad to respond. Some
REFERENDUM CASE TO
GO TO SUPREME COUR
n Ruling Will Be Handed Down I
Judge Galloway’s Court Before
Holidays.
The arguments in the Universil
referendum case have been brought
1 a close and Judge Galloway has pron
1 ised a ruling before the Christmas ho
- idays, which is being anxiously awai
1 ed by the people thorughout tl
; state. At the end of the trial it wr
- reported in the courtroom that whirl
- ever way the decision goes, it will l
1 appealed to the Supreme Court, s
: the case is not likely to be definite]
‘ settled for several months.
' The end of the trial was marked b
several brilliant speeches by the oj
i posing legal talent. Judge Slater i
■ opening the arguments for the plain!
1 iff, after the temporary postponemer
of the case last week, compared th
defenders of the fraudulent circulator
with the defense of the McNamar
brothers in Los Angeles and score
H. J. Parkison, who supervised th
circulation of the petitions, claiming
that he is responsible for at leas
10,000 names, many of which hav
been proven forgeries. In the clos
ing arguments Judge Martin L. Pipe
masterfully outlined the story of th
origin of the movement to invoke th
referendum.
Judge Pipes said, in part: “I
(the referendum against the Univer
sity) was not instituted for the pur
pose of using the referendum powe
of the whole people. The movemen
was started by parties who made u|
a purse to fight the University tha
they might compel Eugene to qui
fighting the county of Nesmith,
think Cottage Grove is now ashanrer
of her part in the bad business and i:
trying to make her part in it good.
Their first move was to emploj
Parkison, who held no honest view:
of opposition to the University. He
went into it to make a little money
He then went into the dives of th<
rrorth end in Portland and employee
crooks—no more fitting place coulc
be found to employ men to fighl
education. If other interests arc
backing him, all are guilty.”

demonstrated in Ogden’s discriptive
pianologue, “Jack Dalton and the Pa
pers,” of which he is the composer.
Still another original feature is the
“IndianWar Dance,” which will be in
troduced, and which is the work of a
student at the Chemawa Indian
School. ,
of them are “has beens,” but a large
majority of them have played under
the “new” rules and some are just as
good football men as can be found
anywhere. A few of them live in Eu
gene, and will be glad to devote their
spare time to the upbuilding of Ore
gon football. If the spirit on the
Oregon campus is as good today as it
was when the writer was a student,
the graduate system will prove the
wisdom of its choice. Much depends
upon the attitude of the students, par
ticularly the football men. If the
graduate system degenerates into a
scramble for the honors by represen
tatives of the fraternities, or if it
proves the means of playing petty col
lege politics, then the system should
be given no satisfaction. The alumni
are unselfish in their devotion to their
Alma Mater and if, after due delibera
tion, the Athletic Council decides to
call the old fellows back to do the
football coaching, there will be a lot
of hard, earnest effort to put out a
team that will, at least, make a credit
able demonstration of its ability to
play the game.
Oregon has good material and more
coming on and there is no reason why
we should play second fiddle to Wash
ington or allow Multnomah to over
whelm us. If the graduate system
proves successful, then we will have
something permanent and will know
‘where we are at.” If we continue
aur present policy, we will never be
ible to get out the rut that we are
following.
