IS
SPORT ABOLITION
STILL IN QUESTION
Faculty Committee Continues
to Probe Athletics and State
Delay Due to Desire to Aid.
The inability of the faculty com
mittee on intercollegiate athletics
to finish Its investigation has again
delayed the faculty meeting that is
to consider this committee’s report.
A special faculty session was to have
been called this afternoon if the
committee had been ready, but in
spite of two-hour meetings Monday,
Tuesday and yesterday, the investiga
tion is not done.
Each day the seven men get a lit
tle nearer a conclusion, but before
any report is drafted representatives
of the student body, the coaches of
various sports, and perhaps alumni
representatives, are to be invited in.
“The committee wants every view
point,’’ said E. E. DeCou, chairman,
today. “Until all the evidence is in
and discussed, and until the commit
tee has agreed upon the clauses ot
the report, there isn’t any news. We
hope the students and others inter
ested will understand that the delay
is due to the committee’s desire to
get a conclusion that will not only
help athletics in this institution, but
will be a contribution in the problem
of athletics in all the coast colleges.”
UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA IS
DILIGENTLY REHEARSING
That the University orchestra is
harnessing down to real work is at
tested by the twice weekly rehearsal
held in Villard hall, on Tuesday and
Thursday, from 7 to 9 o’clock. Credit
is now given for orchestra work, and
Miss Forbes believes that this will
instill an enthusiastic spirit. Mod
ern, as well as the works of old
standard composers, will be featured
in the coming concert. At present
the orchestra is rehearsing in
“Liebesfrend and Liebeslied,” by
Fritz Kreisler; Mock Morris, an old
English dance, and overtures by Mo
zart, Wagner and Haydn.
UNIVERSITY WOMEN WILL
HOLD TRACK MEET SOON
The women of the University wili
hold a track meet some time in the
near future. This was decided upon
at a meeting of the Women’s Ath
letic association held in the women’s
gymnasium Tuesday afternoon.
Charlie Fenton, Alva Wilson, Grace
Maberly and Elizabeth Minturns
were appointed as a committee to
have the affair in charge.
Esther Furuset was elected head of
basketball, to take charge of the
inter-class games to be held this
winter.
Jewel Tozier was elected head of
walking, and Gladys Wilkins head
of golf.
Having made plans last spring for
the establishment of self-government
the students of the University of
Utah took over control of their own
affairs Octoberl, the date for the
student election .
The dean of a neighboring Univer
sity comes out with the statement
that the women of the University are
over-working. If such is the case,
some of the men of the school are
probably being “over worked.”
Washington’s football team will
average about 183 pounds per man

being fast, heavy men. Miller and

pounds, respectively.

“The University exhibit this year
exemplified, particularly, the ex
tension work of the university and
showed how the various depart
ments are prepared to render to the
people of Oregon, a real service,”
stated Mr. Kilpatrick. “Especially
featured was the industrial and
commerce survev of the School of
Commeice.
“Interesting and vital facts and
statistics concerning the cost of pro
ducing potatoes, flax, milk box shook
and other Oregon products were
graphically shown,” he said.
“Persons in^rested will be refer

given in his honor at San Prancisoc,
former President Taft warmly de
fended college secret societies, char

in his own college career, in which
the Yale faculty used the steam

his election so boisterously that he
never had "a chance"* to be initiated.

PROFESSORS ANALYZE
: ORIENTAUSITUATION
Yellow Peril Exists on This Side
of Pacific, Inflamed By Yel
low Paper Says Dr. Smith.
"The United States should stay in
the Philippines indefinitely, and
make no more promises,”—Dr. War
ren D. Smith, of the geology depart
ment, formerly head of the depart
ment of mines of the island govern
ment.
‘‘The United States can stay in
the Philippines just as long as it
suits the Japanese government. Then
we shall get out.”—Prof. H. B. Mil
ler, director of the school of com
merce, for many years in the United
States consular service in China and
Japan, who had charge of the inter
national interests in Manchuria dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war.
Professors Smith and Miller were
the leading speakers at Tuesday
night's meeting of the Round Table,
The local “town and gown” club,
composed half of, faculty men and
half of Eugene business and profes
sional men. This was the first of
the year's series of monthly ban
quets held at the Osburn.
Mr. Miller analyzed the Chinese
and Japanese characters in the light
of many years’ eperieuce in both
countries. “Reason counts for
nothing with the Japanese official,”
he asserts, “where public duties are
concerned. Regulations sent down by
his superiors govern his every act,
and he will not depart from them a
jot or a tittle.”
The governing group, on the other
hand, according to Mr. Miller, is
composed of the keenest political
thinkers in the world. The little
coterie about the emperor has future
policies figured out years in ad
vance in a way that would put tne
German general staff to shame. They
want to be masters of the Orient.
They don’t want trouble with Amer
ican, unless America presumes to
take a hand in far-eastern matters.
“The Japanese has a ju-jitsu
mind,” said Dr. Smith. He is an
adept at making his opponents eon
tribute to their own downfall. The
Americans have little to fear in the
east, except from their own foolish
ness. There is a yellow peril, but it
is on this side of the Pacific. It
should be sought especially in the
office of the San Francisco Examin
er. If a great calamity is to come
to the United States and particularly
to the Pacific coast, the yellow pa
pers rather than the yellow races
will be to blame.”
Next month’s program will consist
of a paper by Professor Colin Dy
ment on “Scientific Community Pro
motion versus ‘Boosting.’ ”
