THE OREGON EMERALD as the official organ of the Associated Student Body of the University of Oregon, aims to serve the student body politic in the folloxving way: to diffuse cor rect and authentic news; to protect and conserve the highest ideals of the University; to consistently avoid all secret affiliations and alliances; to play the game squarely with no favoritism; to be op timistic and courageous in fulfilling its functions; to comment on, and receive comment on the problems concerning the University and its welfare; to pursue a constructive editorial policy which nec essarily implies a destructive policy; in short, to pursue militantly a policy of proper publicity in regard to all problems that confront the Student Body—all of this, based on the truism that a demo cracy can be effective and efficient only so long as it maintains a free and militant press. Overlooked—But Not Too Late. WHAT MUST be regarded as a new departure of the past year was the establishment of friendly football relations between east and west. Several western football teams, forgetting the old provincial adage that East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet, met the east on the gridirons of east and west. Notable in this innovation is the fact that the western universities came out vic torious. Still more notable, however, is the indication that university authorities are overcoming a narrow provincialism that has too long adhered to higher education. Especially has this provincialism been manifest in the matter of football. Debating and oratory teams have often gone far into eastern territory; the University of Washington this year received a Canadian team on its home rostrum. Glee clubs have for years taken their annual cross-country tours. Even in branches of athletics, other than football, there has been a grow ing tendency to meet eastern competition. Colleges have for years sent the cream of their track teams to eastern cinder paths; rowing teams have not only gone east but have competed in British waters. Washington, our northern neighbor, sent her baseball nine to Japan to cross bats with the denizens of cherry-blossom land. So it is evident that there is a marked development in the national and international scope of college sports. Queer as it may seem this development has been tardy in foot ball. Last year saw the first real marathon trips of football elevens. Thus early, however, it is evident that east will meet west on the gridiron oftener next season. Of all sports football is perhaps the most logical for competition on such a scope, for it is the American, collegiate game in the strictest sense. Its development has been phenomenal: before Columbus ever dreamed America, the Indians—the true Americans—played a game that was the forerunner of football. Not until thirty-nine years ago, however, was football officially recognized as the real college sport. In 1876 eight collegians assembled around a table in the old Massoit House at Springfield and drew up rules of football for college competition along amateur lines. Witness the progress: the 120 players of thirty-nine years ago, has been replaced in the past year by an army of 160.000 players in 32,000 games before six and a half million spectators. Such has been the development. Now comes the time that provincialism in football should be broken up. Oregon is surrounded by ancient rivals, all of which have prospective games with eastern institutions. In view of this the stu dent body has long waited for any inclination on the part of the Uni versity officials to authorize an eastern game. Surely they must have overlooked the matter or it would have received favorable attention. For obvious reasons, Oregon cannot linger in the background In matters of this nature. The lemon-yellow has been represented with strong teams for many a year, and especially is the outlook for next year bright, in fact the brightest in history. With Oregon Agricultural college, Washington State college, and the University of Washington arranging for eastern games the University of Ore gon. seemingly oblivious, has neglected to consider the proposition. Is Oregon eventually to be relegated to the status of the has-been university or is Oregon to pierce the narrow provincialism that has kept her home when other teams were profiting by trips outside the narrow pale prescribed years ago? If there is yet time to arrange an eastern game. Oregon should not hesitate longer to*forge to the front in this regard and avoid be ing left in the rear by all of the Northwestern colleges of her class add status. f CAMPUS NOTES 1 ★ . . - ★ Ktppt Kigxna entertained an dinner ftleeta Sunday, Qrare Lilly, Alio* Hill, Florence Par ell ua.
