The plea voiced by the Oregon alumni in Portland, for more campus games, is a just one, and coming as it does from men whose own personal interest would seem to favor Port land contests, is to be taken serious ly as an expression of opinion, valua ble because of its comparative disin terestedness. From the undergraduate view point, more campus games are cer tainly to be desired. It is perhaps well to have the annual Multnomah game played in Portland, as a large percentage of the students would not Im In Eugene during Thanksgiving, i‘ if the contest were staged on Kincaid V.Field, but as to other games, it is certain that much more student sup °o • 6 portofor the team, and a consequent greater possibility of victory would be brought ab^.ut ff the^riysiftteamS; met alternately on the gridirons of their respective colleges. o O Student body finances might not stand the pressure If the Washing ton game In Portland were eliminat ed, but it is hard to see how Eugene would draw a smaller crowd than would Albany. And if finances would allow of it, the change suggested by the alumni >s surely to ho considered. Athletics are first of all for the stu dents. ALIY 1C OK |)KAI>? The three students who so narrow ly missed drowning two weeks ago are to be congratulated, not only be cause of their escape from the waters of the Willamette, but also because of the decision of the faculty com mittee that they might remain in col lege after what was apparently a vio lation of the faculty rule laid down last spring against shooting the rap ids. The Investigating members of the faculty found, however, that the canoeists had not shot the rapids as had at first been supposed. But it is not the technical provi sions of the rule which should be alone considered. The spirit in which this student rule law was passed, was not oue of curtailing the privilege of Uu undergraduates, but rather of safeguarding them. it is the spirit not the mere letter of the law which should be lived up to. As Dean Straub remarked, during the course of the investigation. "The University would much rather send home a live student than a dead one." Now Coach Bezdek has come forth with the statement that he believes in the future few or no Oregon ath letes will be found willing to take part in any contest against the Alma Mater. If the spirit which must nec essarily be responsible for a stand of this kind really exists among the members of the football team, it is a most excellent thing, a thing to be cherished, but by no means to be limited to football or to kindred forms of athletics, but to be extend ed to every student in the Univer sity, whether actively or only pass ively connected with any form of un dergraduate activity. PROF. ALLEN ON EASTERN TOUR Object Hi to Inspect and Study Schools of Journalism of Highest Rank Prof. Eric W. Allen, of the Jour nalism department in the University of Oregon, who is at present on a visit to the various Eastern schools of Journalism, left for Madi son, Wisconsin, a week ago where he attended the American Convention of teachers of Journalism, and will be from Tuesday to Friday of this week at the Pulitzer School of Journalism in Columbia University, wher'fe he will study closely the meth ods and equipment.

Campbell has returned from the east where he attended the meet ing of the Regular National Asso ciation of State Universities at Washington, D. C. Here he re mained for four days, meeting Presi dent Wilson at the White House. From Washington Pres. Camubell proceeded to Baltimore, where he* visited John Hopkins University. Here he meet Dodson, Downs, Van Valzah, Bates, Bean and Martzloff, former students at Oregon who are no\^ attending John Hopkins. The next day he went to New Ha ven in order to visit Yale Univer sity. In the afternoon he attended the Yale-Princeton football game, in regard to which he said, “about 40, 000 people were there. To the spec tator it was no more interesting than our games, the play was somewhat slower and much more deliberate, but several1" costly fumbles were made on both sides. I presume the 1' S » teams are somewhat stronger than ours.” He then went to Harvard, which is his Alma Mater. Here, also he had the pleasure of meeting some of his old U. of O. students. Wendel Bar bour, Ralph Cake, John Kelly, who is studying at the Institute of Tech nology, Miss Naomi Williamson, who is studying in the Emerson School of Expression, Miss Pauline Potter, who taking Library work at Simmons College and Miss Jessie Chase, who recently graduated from Simmons College and now is'engag ed in Social Service work in the city. “All of these people are mak ing strong records. They certainly showed me a good time and I en joyed my visit with them,” said Pres. Campbell. “Every one of these old gradu ates read the Emerald like the Bible and anxiously wait for it,” lie said. "Many people of the east inter ested in the recent fight of the Uni versity were well posted on the sit uation here and were very glad to team of the favorable vote.” oooooooooooooooooo o o o Three more reporters can o o be used by the Emerald o o staff.

Their official statement is as fol lows: "A few years ago after the drown ing of one of our students, the fac ulty passed a rule prohibiting the students of the University from shooting the rapids at the head of the mill race. President Campbell anil the Faculty have investigated the recent accident on the river and find that the three young men in volved did not come within this rul ing. since at no time they had at tempted to shoot the rapids at the head of the mill race. They had launched their canoe on the north side of the river in water which is not ordinarily dangerous, yet which was apparently dangerous for the young men involved. "The University is very anxious at this time to take occasion to bring to the notice of the student body the danger involved, not only in shoot ing the rapids at the head of the mill race, but the rapids opposite the Tannery, and in fact all swift water on the river on which there could I be the slightest possible danger.” Cigars in Xmas packages at Obak's.
