PROTESTING PARSONS.
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.
Beat Washington!

WALKS AND RIDS
The idea that people have outgrown
the desire for education because they
will not undergo hardships to obtain
it is refuted in statistics given by the
administration office. There are thirty
people at present attending the Univer
sity who daily have to travel long dis
tances to enjoy their education. There
are still zealous students who come in
from the country, often walking several
miles. ,
From Springfield there are 1” peo
ple who daily make the trip. This list
includes: Walter Hailey, Ida Harr, Creed
Hrattain, Amy Carson, Frances Del’ue,
Walter Pimm, Ester Furuset, Doll Hin
son, Marjorie Machen, F. Dean Moore,
Vera Perkins, Earle Powell, Paul Scott,
Randall Scott. Percy Strand, Orson
Vaughn, and John A'iUiams.
College Crest has three students,
namely Ralph Bowden, Ada Ewer, and
Lucy Jay.
From the river road come Arthur
Hushman, Loren Hutler Norman Byrne,
Loran Ellis, Anna Cent, Vera Haag,
Lyle Harpile, Clarence Lombard, Maud
Lombard, Lourene Taylor, and Avon

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.
