CAN THKY USE IT?
In reply to the oft repeated query
of certain self-satisfied members of
the masculine persuasion, “Now that
they’ve got it, what air the wimen a
train' to do with their suffrage?” Ore
gon co-eds may point with a triumph
ant “I told you so,” to the present
movement to organize groups for the
intensive study of social and political
problems. Of course this is only a
beginning, but it. shows that the col
lege women are alive and onto the
job (which is more than can be said
of many of the men), and it portends
the organization of similar move
ments throughout the State.
There are many important prob
lems, such as schools, sanitation,
child labor, water and food inspec
tion, and even the high cost of liv
ing, which involve an infinite number
of political questions, and which fall
naturally within the scope of women’s
interests and knowledge.
The women of the University, by
working along these lines, will lie pre
pared upon graduation to go out in
to the State and take an important
part in perfecting a highly efficient
feminine electorate. Everything mak
ing toward this end should find un
qualified support in the State’s high
est institution of learning, for here is
to lie found the purest type of pro
gressive, intelligent democracy.
No More Tryouts, Says Warner
No more Dramatic Club tryouts
will be held until new members are
needed to take parts in plays, or un
til a tryout is requested by students
who wish to become members of the
club. President Warner says that
he is always ready to give tryouts
to anyone wishing to gain admit
tance.
Pendleton, the great Princeton ath
lete, is to turn professional when he

MOORES DEFENDS FOOTBALL
REFERRING TO FACULTY
To the Editor:
In last Saturday’s issue of the Em
erald I found a veiled, allegorical at
tack upon athletics at Oregon by my
esteemed intellectual benefactor, Pro
fessor F. G. Young. Permit me to
answer him in plain English.
Professor Young, by speech, ac
tions, and writing, would lead us to
believe that we should cease our ath
letic activity, have no desire to win,
and display, for the sake of appro
priations, all our Oregon spirit in the
classroom, in the state at large, or in
the hereafter.
Professor Young’s aims are always
high', and his theories desirable, but
for the sake of conditions as they are,
and not as they should be, let me say
and ask a few things.
Most experts on American educa
tion divide the student’s time for the
day into three periods of eight hours
each: one for college work, one for
sleep, and one for play. It is claimed
that, by following this formula, the
young graduate goes out into the
cold world or to the graduate school
with fewer technical definitions and
hide-bound theories than by observing
a more rigid system, but with a broad
er mind, broader shoulders, and with
a heart beating more than twenty
three times a minute.
The young American demands some
thing besides confinement. Shall we
give him athletics, pool, poker, or
“Springfield?” If the life of the col
lege is wrong, then let us change the
system and run night school for high
school graduates in every city of the
But to athletics again. Many
schools and colleges have abolished
] them, only to re-establish them the
following year. (). A. C. and Port
land Academy are beautiful examples
in our own state. Most boys are
boys. It’s a pity, hut it’s true.
Now about winning teams as com
pared to losing teams. All the world
loves a winner. The winning team
brings out the crowd. Who is in the
crowd? Not “sports” of the bar
tender type, as has been hinted, but
taxpayers of Oregon from every walk
of life. This, again, is sad but true.
Oregon beat a referendum when she
had a winning team. Another strange
thing.
It is funny how high school stu
dents of the State know so much
more about Oregon’s athletes than
about our faculty. This year, how
ever, the faculty is gaining.
It. is strange how most voters read
the sporting page, pick a winner and
take a pride in him. It is strange
that the farmer kills or trades his
rooster, dog or horse when he finds
it bested by his neighbor's fowl or
beast. It is strange and a crime that
a single Olympic victor is greeted
bv lb.(MX) people, while a student
winning the highest scholarship hon
or in the land goes unnoticed.
I’ll admit the unfairness of it all.
But how can this University take
the red blood out of the voters of
Oregon? I say, go to it as it is.
Our student body is the cleanest and
hardest working student bod\ in the
Northwest. The teams are typical
of the student body, yet they receive
less faculty support than any teams
I know of.

PROF. YOUNG REPLIES
TO MR. MOORES’ ARTICLE
To the Editor:—Having been al
lowed to glance at the communica
tion written by friend, Mr. Moores,
I am impelled to .say that I regret
exceedingly that he was troubled by
what I said in last Saturday’s Em
erald. Indeed, I was greatly sur
prised at what Coach Moores thinks
he discovered in a little effort of
mine to enlist alumni for co-opera
tive activity with the University in
Commonwealth service.
Furthermore, I am quite as much
surprised that my “speech, action and
writing’ has led him “to believe that
we should cease our athletic activity.”
In fact, my ardor for “athletic ac
tivity’ is about twenty times warm
er and stronger than is Mr. Moores’,
for he believes in a kind that gets
20 men out on the field each after
noon. I have been doing my level
best for years to have a kind that
would get 400 men out every after
noon. Moreover. I have any amount
of evidence to prove that with my
kind, the University would never
have been confronted with a refer
endum.
Positively, my effort was in no
sense an attack upon anything but
mossbackism and Philistinism in Or
egon life and thought.”
I said “all with faith in scientific
commonwealth development are eli
gible” for the game I would have
our alumni indulge in. My plea was
addressed only to alumni, and I want
them to play this new game. There
was not the remotest allusion to in
tercollegiate football. Can’t a mem
ber of the Faculty longer use a little
metaphorical language without being
pounced upon as an enemy to that
which he has always championed?
Verily, I fear Mr. Moores is “seein’
things.” Seriously, I was just try
ing to boost a hobby of mine and
am willing that Mr. Moores should
let me alone while I am at it.
