More Pep, Men, More Pep!
WITHAL OUIl vaporings about the Oregon spirit, and its
tendency to manifest itself in touchdowns, the Emerald is skep
tical.
Alter a well organized campaign tor rooters practice on
Tuesday afternoon an appeal to every student with the slightest
vestige of a pair of lungs—about fifty men showed up on Kincaid
field.
What’s the matter? Is that Oregon Spirit a myth after all,
a mere fine-sounding phrase that has no content?
Without regular turn-outs between now and the coming
0. A. C.-Oregon football game, Oregon’s rooting stunt will be a
fizzle. If the rooting is pepless and unorganized, don’t blame the
team for anything that might happen. For spirit on the part of
the rooting team of the University has the power of enthusing the
football team with fight and courage that will produce winning
touchdowns. And Oregon cannot win without a winning spirit.
We will state this axiom over again and again. We believe in it.
It was the foundation of Oregon’s past success, and can aid in
future successes.
We hate to say it, but we must. Oregon has got a bunch of
pepless spirits, if Tuesday’s crowd is a true criterion.
We urge that every house turn out en masse at the next root
ers’ practice and this is also on urgent invitation to the women.
An Efficient City Council
A RECORD has been set in municipal affairs by the Eugene
city council. A few days ago a petition was presented to that body
by the students of the University requesting that lights be placed
on 1 hirteenth street. The women of the University have always
dreaded the dark street that they must needs tread every night
after the library closed.
No sooner was the petition presented thatn the request was
fulfilled. Usually there is a lot of procrastination between “think
ing the thought and doing the deed,’’ but in this case the two came
simultaneously. The Emerald takes this opportunity of thanking
the city council on behali ot the students, particularly the women,
for their prompt action.
Campus pre-initiation ceremonies seem popular with the
men s honorary Jraternities. One sends its neophytes out in swal
low tails, and another perches them atop precarious mounts to de
liver campus soap-box speeches. It’s about time for that slumber
ing feminism to wake up. Theta Sigma Phi take a hint! No, we
can t make any suggestions. It’s not in our line.
Thu sly writes one of our esteemed contemps:
“The University of Oregon has suspended basketball and has
placed a limit on all other athletics. The U. of O. does not mean
to be outdone by Heed College”—La Grande Observer.
Gee Gad! We wonder whether this is flattery or whether
the spirit is one of mockery, sir.”
Ihe following announcement appeared in the Emerald of
November 6: “The Women’s Athletic association will meet Tues
day afternoon ui the women’s gymnasium. The basketball outlook
Joi this year will be discussed and every member is urged to be
present.
i ii ^ne wonder whether the women will play intercollegiate bas
ketball. I here s a theory that eventually the women will become
the masters, physical as well as mental. If grades are any criter
ion, they re mentally superior now, but we weren’t aware of the
other.

'I’lio freshmen are preparing their mi

<h»n Koine of them have ever worked
before. 1 lie pile of wood is assuming
tremendous proport ions, livery year a
struggle is made to have a bon fire that
will exeeed those of previous years. In
the eastern part of llugoue there is a
family of o children who elimb into bed
on these void days and huddle together
under a thin eoverlet to keep a little
warmth in their bodies.
Tradition is a wonderful thins but

A women’s colloge is a dangerous
thing.
And after all this talk about peace
those O. A. C. hens are still mak
ing shells.
One of the men's houses has decid
ed to serve spaghetti on spools.
Publicity brings its own reward.
Some one heaved a dead cat up on
the lVltn Gamma sleeping porch the
other night. Would you blame the
cook?
Or. Timothy Cloran still insists
that umbrellas cover a multitude of
sins.
Does it pay to study psychology
when you may get an ”H” if you
don't? This is what Or. Conklin said
yesterday:
GIRLS ASK OUTSIDE GAMES
Women's Association Wants Inter
collegiate Athletics
“On to co-ed intercollegiate ath
letics,’’ will be the slogan for the
women’s 'athletic association, until
the plea is granted, according to a
decision made at the last monthly
meeting of the association.
“'Co-ed athletics at O. A. C. are re
garded as a student activity, why not
at Oregon, also,” asked Jennie Hunt
er, president of the association.
“When the girls play hockey at O. A.
C. everybody is interested and the
armory is filled. When the Ore
gon women play—our audience con
sists of the immediate families and
a few passing pedestrians.”
“Basketball is a clean, open game,
giving chance for the development
of brains, grace, and muscle,” said
Miss M. G. Cummings, 'director of
the women’s physical department.
‘Even though it is hard on the heart,
playing under girls’ rules elimiates
heart strain.
“The success of many of the wo
men’s clubs in the state, in further
ing civic efficiency is due to the team
work, fostered by bastketball. It
eliminates personal dislikes and
stimulates the get-together spirit
so essential in club work.”
A hockey game with O. A. C. will
be played November 20 at 9: 30 a. m.
There will be no admission charges.
