TOO DEEP FOR US
Students of the methods of Mon
sieur Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, William
J. Burns and other ferrets of crimi
nals and fathomers of crime, are
awaiting with interest the novel
scheme pursued by the local library
authorities in unravelling the mystery
of the disappearance of twelve Mazda
electric light globes from the stack
room of the library. The trap which
has been laid with almost demoniacal
cunning for the culprits is this: no
student is to be allowed the privileges
of the stack room until the missing
property is returned.
As we go to press we learn that
the pillagers still roam at large, and
that the stolen “glims” have not boen
brought back. If we may venture a
purely unprofessional opinion, it is
that they never will be brought back,
even though the stack room be barred
until Doomsday.
Meanwhile, the purpose for which,
it would seem, the library is main
tained by the state—that of provid
ing free opportunities for research
to the students—is being largely de
feated. Of course, a student may get
any specified book from the stack
room through the Librarian’s desk.
This method, however, is so inade
quate and inconvenient that advan
tage is taken of it only in cases of
direst necessity. As a matter of fact,
the average student does not go to
the library shelves with any partic
ular book in mind. He is more likely
interested in a particular subject, and
needs to look through all the books
on that subject to find the knowledge
he is after. Unless he has free ac
cess to all text-books, unless he can
pick up one after another and exam
ine its contents at first hand, instead
of through a card index, he cannot ac
complish his reading intelligently.
By what peculiar process of rea
soning seven hundred students are de
nied this privilege, merely because
one or two of their number may have
been abusing it, passeth our under
standing. We earnestly hope that the
perpetrators of petty thievery about
the University will be apprehended
and punished. But this is not the
way to apprehend and punish them.
It would be ns logical to shut all the
citizens of Eugene indoors at night
because of the exploits of Jack the
Grab.
WE RE GLAD GEORGE DID IT
It is not our purpose here to dilate
upon the achievements of George
Washington. There are numerous
courses in history in the University
which dispose of that duty. The carv
ing of the cherry tree and the cross
i ing of the Delaware we shall leave to
the First Reader to amplify.
But there is one action of the
greatest American which college stu
dents should never evase to extol. In
j deed, it was not an unusual action,
| and it was entirely unpremeditated on
Washington’s part, but nevertheless
it has been mighty in its good results.
We refer to the great and inestima
ble service performed by the Father
of His Country in toeing born.
Had he been neglectful in this mat
ter, we would not be celebrating his
birthday next Monday. And, inciden
tally, we over-worked students would
not be enjoying a vacation on that
day.
So glory be to Washington for what
he did for us. We could have sug
gested but one improvement, and per
haps it is ungracious to mention it.
Nevertheless, we wish that George
; could have fixed it so that his natal
day would always be a week day,
! like Thanksgiving. Then we could
never be cheated out of our holiday
by the date falling on a Saturday or
Sunday—a deplorable situation which
arose last year.

*************
Lawrence J. Martin, the- new Wash
ington track coach, will give his men
the first workout next Tuesday.
About 60 men will turn out.
“Skeeter” Bigbee is getting so good
at throwing baskets from almost im
possible angles, that it is about time
for some of our conference rivals to
start that “lucky dog” stuff.
Martinson, the big 200 pound boy
who played center for Idaho, stands
a little over six feet two, is nineteen
years old and only a Freshman. What
about three years hence?
W. S. C. won the inter-collegiate
rifle championship of the United
States by defeating West Virginia by
986 to 973, a perfect score being
1,000.
uartmoum won me ski jumping
contest from McGill University. The
longest jump was by Reddie, of Mc
Gill. He made 87 feet, the longest
jump, but fell after landing.
Students at the University of Col
orado are not allowed to participate
in inter-collegiate basketball. They
think that this is a great injustice and
are now signing petiitons to be al
lowed to play.
If every basketball game would fur
nish the thrills equal to those “pulled”
in the second half of the Idaho game
last Tuesday, it is safe to say that
football would have a closer rival in
the sporting world.
Hayward now has his track men
working out under the “shed” in Kin
caid Field three times a week. As a
precaution against “buckshins,”
caused by dampness, etc., the boys are
wearing long trousers.
Ann Arbor, Mich.—Michigan's ath
letic prospects got solid jolts in all
three major sports by the semester
examinations just passed. Football
casualties include Galt, Splayn, Lyons,
Zieger, and Huebel. Hughitt and
Webber, of the baseball talent, are
knocked out. In track the Wolverine
prospects in the indoor intercollegi
ate relays at New York and the
Pripceton race Saturday were ruined
when Murphy and Lynch came under
the faculty bnn.
