Eastern Football Game Favored
by Faculty Members and Students
i
On the heels of an editorial in The
Emerald'concerning the desiraJbility of
having a football game with one of the
first-line eastern colleges or universities
next fall, the question of the practical
side of the matter has been discussed
by some of the faculty members and
students. Here is what a few of them
say: Coach Hugo Bezdek: “If the fac
ulty, students and people of the state
feel that we should have an eastern
game, let’s have one and beat the cast
eners.”
“Bill” Hayward, physical director of
men and track coach: “A game would
(be a fine thing; one of the best adver
tisements we could put out. Of course,
there would have to be a change in the
present absence ruling. A game with
nn eastern first-liner would greatly in
crease our prestige und make Oregon
known. The expense would not bo be
yond our power. A team of fourteen
men could come from New York to Eu
gene for $2500. This appears ns a
great expense, but there is no doubt
that the eastern team would be willing
to play, say, Idaho and Utah on the
way. These universities would be glad
to help pay a share of the cost of the
trip. I think that we should by all
means have a game with an eastern
college next year.”
Edgar .Shockley, men’s physical train
er: “I stand for a game with an east
ern institution of the lirst liners. Not
only will such a game give us a good
test, but it will make Oregon known.
I think that the time which the men
would lose from their studies would be
more than paid for by the trip. Any
such journey is an education in itself.”
TT, C. Howe, professor of English
literature: “The thing is entirely im
practicable. The present ruling allows
a student to be away only three days.
It would take some other than the ex
isting systems of figuring, to work out
an eastern schedule on a three-day
basis. Moreover, it would cost too
much. Eugene is not a football town,
and the expenses of a visiting team
could not he mot. We have gone be
hind almost $000 every time we played
Idaho.”
Walter Dimm, president of the Y.
M. O. A.: “The best plan, in my esti
mation, would be to have the Pacific
coast collegiate champions play the At
lantic coast collegiate champions. This
would give everyone a chance to com
pare scores. It would show where we
stand. I think that it should he kept
up each year so that we might have a
national championship in football as well
as in baseball. The expense of an Ore
gon eastern game, exclusive, would not
bn Justified for the thing at stake.”
J. D. Foster:"I would be-in favor of
such a game if it did not; cost so much.
From appearances the expense would
be too great.”
COMMUNICATED
As I do not know who are tho proper
parties in interest, I will take this means
of finding whether an echo will respond
to devise a scheme of fruitfully distri
buting about 250 "1015 Oreganos” which
aro piled in a heap in the old storehouse
formerly occupied by Eatons Hindery in :
Eugene.
Tho fact that these most creditable j
Year Books are a year or two old only j
makes them the more valuable as too
many students fall to realize, when they j
should purchase n Year Hook, the value I
they will place on it luter when they find
themselves referring to it constantly
for forgotten names, information and
data.
As these books will only be destroyed
if left where they are, certainly there
are students and alumni who would like
to preserve them, and who would not
only be glad to place them in schools,
libraries and homes, but would also be
glad to see that they were accomplishing
more for the University in the way of
advertising than they aro at present, j
peacefully reposing piled where placed
when published.

Someone has of ]ate frequently low
ered the head gate of the mill race near
the University. Perhaps it was done in
a spirit of fun but nevertheless it has
caused much annoyance; A boat could be j
easily overturned and the occupants |
drowned. Moreover it requires a long
time and much work to raise the head
gate again. We would kindly request
students and others to leave it alone.
President Campbell, Manager Mount
and Captain Chandler have been in cor
respondence with various coaches of the
country but have not yet decided on a
football coach for next year. The stu
dents see more and more the need of
having a trainer here throughout the
year. There is also a desire to have a
graduate manager of athletics at the Uni
versity. Heretofore the management has
been left in the hands of some under
graduate student who on that account
has lost a good deal of his college work.

] CO-EDS TO HELP ]
*-*
Corvallis Gazette-Times
Over at Eugene the young men in the
University have organize^ themselves
into a military company, or some of
them have. The fair co-eds can’t stand
the thought of the boys going off to be
a soldier. As war looms up in Mexico
and the thought is brought more closely
home that perhaps the brave University
squad may be called to cactus land, the
co-eds are drenched in tears.
How are they going to stand the bit
ter parting?
What will they do for partners in the
deamy waltz ?
Who will hold their trembling hands
and lead them through the mazes of the
fox trot?
Where will they find the men, the men,
with whom to wander down the shady
lanes as spring draws nigh when in youth
the young man’s (and young maid’s)
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of ice
cream sodas and joy rides.
Ah, sad, sad thought! Their heroes
may be on the parched plains of Mexico
fighting their country’s battle and tar
rantulas, and gila monsters and rattle
snakes and sand burrs and perhaps flirt
ing with pretty Spanish maidens.
Can the fair co-eds endure it? Yes,
they cannot. Nor will they. They have
had a happy thought. They too will poin
the army in the capacity of nurses. Ev
ery soldier from the University will have
his own nurse if the enrollment, or
should we say enlistment, in the Red
Cross at the University continues.
Isn’t it fine girls? To be right there
with the hero? To bathe his heated
brow and read Euclid to him in the
field hospitals? Haven’t they long want
ed the job of water carrier, “swipe” on
the football field which the proprieties
of the occasion or the rules of the game
denied them?
But here is the chance! What are
football teams to rugged soldiers? What
are college penants to the grand old
flag? What are water bottles to first
aid-to-the-injured kits?
Hurrah for the fair coeds! They have
the stuff in them that makes fight,-—
both before and after talking. With
their knapsacks full of bonbons, chew
ing gum, powder puffs, cold creams and
magazines, the Mexicans will have no
chance at all.
But it can say that no other country
over had a chance to be so happily in
vaded and it will be a fine example to
barbarous Europe of what civilized war
fare really is.
