To the protest of John Parsons, Uni versity of Oregon halfback, by the faculty athletic council of the University of Washington, and the succeeding controv ersy, the news columns of the Emerald have been barred. This is a radical de parture from the spirit of “go-get-’em” of the bygone days. But it is a depar ture in keeping with the athletic ideal of the University of Oregon of good sports manship for the promotion of good fel lowship between rival teams and student bodies. The controversy from beginning to end has been a one man show with the athletic muckerism of Gilmore I)obie a mess pot in which the Emerald 1ms not cared to dabble. The canny Scotchman of the north lund may be admired for his ability ns a conch but his evident attempt to revive the policy of antagonizing team against team and student body against student body is not meeting with favor and the Oregon athletic council made short shift of his efforts. Nothing would have pleased Dobie more than for the Emernld to have handled the controversy, for he is keen on psychological effect. As one of the northwestern sport writers has said, “If Gil thinks he is likely to get whipped he makes a fight on a star player and gets him to thinking of everything but football; then he is no good to the team.” It is a matter of regret that Dobie appears to dictate the athletic policy of the University of Washington. It is bringing the fair name of that institution into disrepute and injuring the cause of intercollegiate athletics. For it is the moral effect upon the outside public that such a Controversy has that works for ill. The example the Oregon committee set by its acquiesenee to the decision of the conference court of appeal and its firm but non-aggressive handling of the situation is simply comptatable with the sincere endeavor to wipe away once and for all muckerism in sports. How the Oregon committee handled the situation may he briefly told: Wash ington jjrotested Parsons and in the protest pointed out a joker in the Coast Conference constitution which made pos sible Washington playing football stars of recent years. What, was asked, would Oregon do about that? The Oregon committee immediately placed the protest and the new ques tion in the hands of the official advis ory committee of two, one of Oregon Agricultural College and the other of the University of Washington, who com pose the court of appeal of the confer ence as provided for in the constitution, and said, “We will abide by this com mittee’s decision.” The committee de cided Washington might play her old stars. In that decision Oregon acquiesced with no fuss. If Oregon's endeavor to clean up the sports of the northwest fails because one man dictates the policy of a powerful institution it is deplorable. The stage is all set for the greatest game in the history of the Varsity—the tangle of Washington and Oregon. To morrow the audience begins to gather and at 2:30 Saturday the curtain rises. Because of the recent controversy the play might be called a tragedy of errors. Politics must take a back seat .Satur day.

[ UNIVERSI-TEE-HEES ”, | By Milton Arthur Stoddard. | k---* A FATHER TO HIS SON. Those days of youth and laughter, Those college rah-rah joys I think of fondly after Maturity destroys That restless effervescence, That love-of-living mood. Though college spirit’s essence Can’t bs quite understood As it was in days long vanished, Though thoughts of games and queens From my mind are nearly banished, My fancy gladly leans To the green and flowered valleys Of my happy college days. Ah, I can’t forget those rallies— “Pep” and “zaz” my memory says Are th/ words the hoarse yell master 1'sed to sprinkle through his speech; He’d rant, predict disaster Till like demons we would screech. . . Long ago, I graduated From dear, old Oregon— In T7. I’ve waited For twenty years, n.y son, For the day when you’d be going To that place of heart’s desire. Now I feel that memory's throwing A spell as wild as fire • Upon me. Hear the r.tory Of our famous victory, How our team won deathless glory, Which was then, will ever be The proof that our great spirit Charges men to fight—and fight, The rival team would fear it, And struggle as they might. We licked ’em to a frazzle, And Dobie hung his head To think that we could dazzle His men who’d proudly said Their record was unbroken. From the time the whistle blew “We’ll win!” was clearly spoken By the very air. We knew That our men would never waver Till the game was done and won, With the score far in the favor Of their own, dear Oregon. There couldn’t be such fighting In all the years that pass: I’m not unjustly slighting Spartan Leonidas, When I say he was not in it With Bedek’s fighting men. Not a moment, not a minute But they plunged and fought again i With that brainy, mighty- vigor, Unrelenting—a machine. When the timer pulled the trigger That shot fired in Eugene Was heard the country over As the herald of our fame. Oregon! I am a lover 1 Of her proud, victorious name. My sou, now go and feel that spirit; Breathe it, live it, love it e’er; t Walk the campus—-when you’re near it, Feel as rev’rent as in prayer. But translate this inner feeling Into actions strong, my son— Stand behind your team in dealing Dire defeat to Washington. , Remember what you’ve heard from me About that famous victory. A PRETTY DITTY. Hetty Bruere, 'Tis not your hair Of which I versify, But your little pup That you fondly take up In your arms. O tell ine why Am I just me? I’d rather be— I’d rather be. I say— I'm bashful, so You’ll never know The meaning of this lay. THE WINNERS IN OUR GIRL GUESSING CONTEST. Joseph Hedges Dorsoy Howard True to our promise we hereunder award the two stanzas of poetic recogni tion : Hedges Joseph Imnmeultely-attired Hedges Is never, never frayed at the edges; He's two yards long of spotlessness: No dirt, no wrinkles mar his dress, When he roughs it in a mackinaw lie’s the same blonde jewel without a flaw. He could emerge from i. bar-room brawl As if he hadn't been smeared at all. Howard Trousers always impeccably pressed, * Sartorially perfect his coat and vest, Shoes a-shine with a sheen of gold. Pace as smooth as a ien-year-old. Horsey Howard could roll in the dirt. j And lie there in the grime—inert, Then rise and dustless walk away To shame the cleanness of new-mown hay. SCOTTY JAMES SPEAKS. Though against ye are tb ver-r-ra gods, i An* the betters gi'e e biggest odds. An’ the whole wair-r-rld says, “Ye’re sure te lose,” 1 tell ye. lads, dinna get the blues, lint wor-r-rk an’ pray, an’ what’s mor- 1 r-re—fecht! An’ the game’ll surely gang a’ recht.
