FLIRTING WITH DANGER
In these beautiful May days, when
to keep off the race seems almost a
denial of nature herself, it well be
hooves us to remember the treachery
of the rapids, and the common fate
of the fool who rocks the boat. There
is something seriously wrong with a
man who will jeopardize the life of a
girl in a canoe, but this is precisely
what every man does who takes a girl
who cannot swim onto the river. And
no girl has a right to ask, or even to
permit, a man to take her into danger
where he is morally responsible for
her life, even at the cost of his own.
The frequent accidents lately have
demonstrated sufficiently the risk of
fooling on the river. Only the most
experienced and careful paddlers have
any right to shoot the rapids, and
they will not, unless both in the canoe
can swim well enough to get out in
case of necessity. To others this
pastime is little short of flirting with
death. The fact that there have been
no serious nccidents for a number of
years, is due largely to the care and
common sense which most Oregon stu
dents exhibit on the water. But of
late, among the younger generation
of students without memory of former
tragedies to caution them, there has
been a relaxation of care, which is
bound to result in early disaster, un
less it is checked at once.
Someone should revive the dormant
Canoe Club, and put membership on
a basis purely of ability to paddle and
to swim. Then girls, or their parents,
should insist that they go on the wa
ter with no one who does not wear the
badge of the club, and not then on the
river, unless they themselves are able
to swim.
There are few sports more thor
oughly exhilarating and healthful, to
those skilled in the art, than canoe
ing. But there are few more fraught
with danger to the uninitiated and the
foolhardy. And the time to he careful
is before and not after the accident.
Human life is too precious to risk
for a few moments of reckless pleas
ure.
Y. M. C. A. PICNIC UP MILL
RACE FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Tomorrow afternoon the annual
picnic of the Student Y. M. C. A. will
be held up the mill race and across
the river. The party will leave the
campus at 4 o'clock, and will return
later in the evening. Lunches will be
taken along.
Swimming races and other sports
are listed on the program and sev
eral speeches will be made. It is de
sired that all of the members of the
Association who intend to go, that they
hand in their names to Charles Koyl
at the Book Exchange.
Hershey bars will be put up for
winners of the sports.
Phillips, of the University of Idaho,
broke the American record for the
javelin throw in the dual meet with
W. S. C. last week. He threw the
javelin 182 feet 6 inches.

GEARY WOULD PROMOTE
INTER-COLLEGIATE HARMONY
(Continued from first page.)
$100 to $700 or $800 have been reg
istered in the final reports of each
activity, with the exception of debate
and oratory.”
Before summer begins, Manager
Geary hopes to have the officials for
all football contests. Partial agree
ments have been entered into with
Oregon Agricultural College, Idaho,
and the University of Washington.
George M. Varnell will referee at the
O. A. C. and at the Washington games
for certain, and he may be chosen for
the Idaho games as well.
To Do Away With Bickerings.
“I believe that conference rules
and regulations should be Increased to
govern many of the matters which are
now continual subjects of bickering
and squabbling among the colleges.”
continued Manager Geary. “For in
stance, the order of events in track
meets, number of men to be entered
by opposing teams in dual meets, and
most important, the selection of offi
cials are left until shortly before the
time of each game, trouble is bound
to be frequent. Football officials,
especially, have reputations as to
efficiency and fairness, which can be
ascertained by all. If the managers
agree upon the different officials at
the time the contracts are signed,
they will be able to consider their
general reputations rather than the
particular work in a game played a
week or two weeks before. All offi
cials make mistakes or are accused of
discriminating at one time or an
other, which results in their moment
arily being unacceptable by one col
lege or another.
Football Schedule Important.
“I have always felt that the ar
rangement of the football schedule
was the controlling factor in the
financial rating of the Student Body.
Hundreds of dollars, to say the least,
have been lost in previous years by
the mishandling of this important

matter. All our football games next
Fall will be played in the State of
Oregon, with a football coach the
peer of the best in the United States,
and with the best material in sight
during the past generation, we will
have a winning, if not a champion
ship team. This with our schedule,
including games with the Oregon
Agricultural College, at Albany, the
University of Idaho, at Eugene, Will
nmette University, at Salem, the
University of Washington and Mult
nomah Club, at Portland, will clarify
our financial difficulties.
Praises Stewart's Attitude.
“Returning to the matter of squab
bles, there is danger of sentiment at j
one college, in believing that the other
college is always in the wrong. It
has been and it is my aim to not
crowd the other fellow, but to look
well into the contention of each man
ager or coach and do the square thing j
whether it immediately reacts to the j
benefit of the University of Oregon or ,
not.
“I am glad to see that Dr. E. J.
Stewart, of the Oregon Agricultural
College, is leading in the movement of
procuring non-partisan officials, with
out consideration of expense, and to
know that John Bender, of the Wash- j
ington State College, is with us in the
desire to make the conference more
of a federation than a confederacy, by
adopting uniform rules to govern most
of the questions that come up.”
ORATORICAL CONTEST.
TO BE HELD MAY 30
o .
Affair With U. of W. Will Include
Both Oratory and Extempore
Speaking.
A week from tomorrow night the
University of Washington and the
University of Oregon will meet in a
dual oratorical and extemporaneous
contest in Portland, at the Y. M. C.
A, auditorium. The judges on com
positions for the orations will prob
ably be Dr. William Foster, president
of Reed College, Dr. J. R. Wilson,
principal of Portland Academy, and
Prof. H. H. Herdman, principal of
Washington High School. The judges
on deliviery have not been chosen as
yet.
Howard Zimmerman will represent
Oregon in oratory, and Harold War
ner will handle the extempore speak
ing. The subject will be on Interna
tional Peace, each contestant talking
twenty minutes. A specific subject
will not be given to the speakers un
til two hours before the contest. They
will then be left in separate rooms all
alone to prepare their addresses, and
one speaker does not hear the other
talk.
KING HERSHEY OVERTHROWN BY
SUMMER’S POPULAR REFRESHMENT
Ice Cream Bricks Sold at Koyl’s
Threaten to Replace Candy as
Best Seller.
The throne of King Hershey is be
ing threatened at the men’s dormitory
as the weather waxes warm, and ac
cording to last reports he will be
forced to share his kingdom with the
icy sovereign of bacteriologist fame.
Charlie Koyl, custodian of the Y.
M. C. A. book store, has hit upon a
new plan for gathering in the few
sheckels which remain to us after we
have paid (?) our board and laundry
bills. He is offering for only five
cents each, bricks of ice cream,
“which are really worth ten cents,”
and which are accompanied by the
dealer’s statement, that “all goods
sold by us are guaranteed under the
pure food and drugs act.”
The material composing these
bricks, (supposedly ice cream), has
tested as low as five hundred bacteria
to the cubic centimeter.
