A PLEA FOR BFOKTSMAN 81111
For the last time iu the college year
the Emerald Is asking for an exhi
bition of the right kind of spirit
among spectators at athletic contests
in which Oregon participates. The
fault of poor sportsmanship is per
haps due to an over allowance of loy
alty to the University teams, but at
all events, the teams agulnst whom
Oregon Is competing should be given
a fair chance to do their best.
A spirit of hard fighting and fair
tactics has always characterized
campus athletics until this year, when
u disposition was shown among the
rooters at basketball gumes to win
by means fair or unfair. This spirit
seemed something fleeting and evan
escent, and In fact has not been evi
denced in baseball ut all. Hut in ten
uis, where rooting is really about as
much In place as in a bulk lino bil
liard touruament, the desire to win
has again overcome t lie Oregon
ideals of fairness. It is hard to char
acterize this us coming front the w il
ful desire to Injure the playing of the
visiting men. It is more charitable to
bruud such actions as mere thought
less rudeness, a sort of playful boor
ishness on the part of some of the
Oregon tennis fans. Hut bo this as
it may, it must be remembered that
unfairness from those on the side
lines will not be taken In this way by
the visiting athletes. A reputation
for unfairness is much easier to ac
quire than to lose.
Such actions us those which in
curred the displeasure of the Wash
ington players in the fiuul day of the
conference tennis tournament also
have the danger of inducing a chron
ic unsportsmanlike behavior. This is
certainly to be avoided.
A three game series for the con
ference championship in baseball
will begin next Monday between the
Oregon nine, and the team from \V.
8. C. A great deal hangs on the out
come of these game.-, hut tills offers
the better opportunity for Oregon
rooters to show that they are clean
winners or clean losers.
The responsibility for conduct I
rests ou every one of those pres-1
ent. If each man ou the bleachers i
determines not only to behave him
self as a gentleman should, tmt also
to take some of the responsibility ,
for his champions, there is little;
chance of the stigma of poor sports
manahip being attached to the Ore ,
gon students in the future.
CANCELING CUTS.
la according to the plan of sub
stituting attendance on three confer
ences during the commonwealth ex
ercises for the regular class work on
Thursday and Friday, the faculty is
pursuing a sound policy. A big stu
dent tournout is necessary at these
conferences and it is only fair that
attendance for the next two days
should be allowed to take the place
of the ordinary lectures and recita
tions.
Incidentally there is a chance of
fered for those desiring to do so to
make up back cuts by attending ex
tra conferences. Two cuts will be
canceled for each conference over
and above the three required. Here
is a chance which should not be
overlooked. Students who are in
danger of being docked college honrs
on account of cuts, may find this rul
ing extremely to their advantage.
1’KAISKS STUDENT INTEREST
May 24, 1914.
To the Editor of the Oregon Emerald
Eugene, Oregon,
My dear sir:
Please permit me to express
through the Emerald my apprecia
tion of the interest that the stu
dents of the University are taking in
the Commonwealth Conference to be
held May 28 and 29th. in participat
ing in tills important conference the
students not only demonstrate their
ability to recognize an opporunlty,
but they also prove a genuine In
terest in those matters in which the
State University should always lead.
There is no question as to the great
advantage it will be to the students
to attend and take part in the dis
cussion ol' the vital questions that
will be handled by the best informed
citizens of Oregon, and the impres
sion that it will make upon the visit
ors will benefit the institution. This
is one of the few opportunities and
1 think the very best one that is of
fered during the course of the year
to demonstrate to the citizens of the
state the seriousness with which the
young men and women of the State
University regard the vital problems
that are calling for solution through
the ablest leadership. Attendance up
on the conferences and participation
in the discussions will go along way
toward demonstrating to others the
quality of students at the University
Yours very truly,
Allen Eaton.
