ATHLETIC SYSTEMS.
A Yule faculty committee recently sub
mitted a report that may have a vast in
fluence on the future athletic history of
that Institution and even of the whole
east. They have outlined a plan that
they recommend to the country at large
After an exhaustive treatment of many
local matters and the revision of the ;
athletic constitution, the committee turn- |
ed in conclusion to a consideration of the
coaching problem. The members, among
them an old Yale football captain, de
cried tin1 enormous sums paid yearly to
those experts who mould the ltlue teams.
They are not niggardly begrudging the
amount spent, Init recognize the "contin
ually increasing competition for supre
macy among rival universities as is ex
emplified in the employment of expen
sive staffs of coaches.” They believe the
present trend to he suicidal to the life
and worth of inter-collegiate sports in
Alleges. They suggest in a way that is
almost a demand that salaries for
coaches be stopped ami that Yale either |
instruct her teams from her own re
sources, graduate and undergraduate, or
abandon inter-collegiate athletics entire
ly.
This report has awakened widespread
comment in the east both in collegiate
and editorial circles. The New \ork
Tribune says, "The present condition of
athletics is radically wrong and demands
ii reversal of policy that would he gen
eral throughout tlie country.”
A year ago the facultjvof Oregon
sat in judgment ou inter-collegiate athle
tics. The student body held its breath
lest that which many consider the back
bone of college life be abolished. Com
petition with sister universities, emerg
ing from this ordeal, was a chastened but
strengthened tiling and the 1 niversitj
gave itself over to a new athletic pro
gram rather novel in this western couu
trv. The whole result hinged upon the
report of a committee made aftei the
completion of an extensive consideration
and research.
The committee reported as the com
mittee of Yale has done. Sweeping
changes and alterations in plans and
traditions and customs were made.
A comprehensive program of intra
mural sport was adopted. Basketball was
temporarily abandoned that these intra
mural games might have oppolimity to
develop V member of the 1 niversity fac
ulty was made head of the physical train
ing department, lie is a medical man
and a professor, not an exorbitantly

tin* stabilizing mill rectifying of the pres
ent top-heavy system of inter-collegiate
athletics. Which is right?
It is possible the Oregon faculty have
chosen the more wisely. The Oregon sys
tem will provide for Oregon’s future in
athletics without commercializing to the
extent of five-figure salaries. This sets
an emphasis on the development of men
school spirit, without making scholarship
and of character, of school loyalty and
and intellect subservient to athletics.

Art Department Has a Rare^
Collection.
“Best of Their Type Yet Shown!
in the Northwest’’
Says Eaton.
More than 200 color prints by Ameri
ca's foremost makers of block prints are
now being shown in the exhibit room of
the Architecture building as a basis for
the work, in Allen Eaton’s (lass in art
appreciation. The exhibit is open to all
from 10 until 5 o’clock each day.
Mr. Katun declares the collection of
colored prints is the best ever exhibited
in the northwest and gives a better idea
of the work of the separate artists than
the collection at the Tanama-Taeific ex- .
position, because there is more room to |
display the work. It contains the work j
of Ilertha bum, Helen Hyde, Ethel Mars,
Maude Squire, Mildred MacMillan A.
Gilmore, Mary Itacon Jones, Kudolf j
lvtiaieka, Elizabeth Colwell and Gustav
Haiiman..
The collection was made by Andrew
Willatzer, chairman of the exhibition
committee of Seattle I( was shown in
Seattle and after the exhibition here
which lasts until Tuesday the prints will
be returned to the individual artists. |

With the advent of January 1, 1017
we might suggest along with-other things
a New Year’s resolution for the varsity
in the nature of "take Pennsylvania's
measure”.
“Woe unto Oregon when it hits Penn
sylvania at Pasadena”, is being doled out
in mournful and sympathetic tones by
rival conference coaches who felt the
sting of IJezdek’s lash during the past
two months. Andy Ziegler, California’s
lino disciplinarian, is the author of the j
awful lines that “Pennsylvania’s 188 |
pound line will juit it all over the Ore
gon forwards and smear the northern j
backs before they get under way.” How- !
ard Berry and other Quaker chargers
will wade through Bezdek’s men with
ease”. Conch Pipe], the Aggie mentor,
also predicts an easy time for the east
erners. With all due regard to the above
opinions we might add a word of admon
ition in “the bigger they are the harder
they fall”—bring ’em on.
Eastern sport writers kalsomined the
Oregon Aggies last year as “a team that
smashed a team, that smeared a team of
Yost’s,” after they walloped the Mich
igan Aggies at Lansing, Mihcigan. Will
Oregon he dubbed after January 1. as
‘a team that smashed a team, that smear
ed a team of Sharp’s”?
In tlie absence of Coach Bezdek, who
lias been in Portland-the past few days
on business, Bill Hayward has been send
ing the regulars and “syrals” alike, as
the scrubs are wont to call themselves,
through tile stiffest kind of wind reviv
ers. Not content with sprinting the boys
up and down Kincaid a score and three
times he has seen to it that the entire
squad finishes the day’s labors with a
four lap turn around the field. Bill’s
latest orders are “no more Camels un
til after the Pasedena game”. Verily, the
way of the footballer is hard.
Evidently Coach "Lonestar” Dietz of
the Washington State eleven, lias led his
last war dance on Rogers’ field in l’ull
nian. The flashy redman has a flatter
ing offer to coach Colgate next year as
well as other tempting bargains. Dietz
has been peeved bv the swell handedness
displayed by the staters this year after
their previous year of prosperity' and I
says he is through with W. S. C. To !
add to his displeasure he was not even
asked concerning Washington State’s
schedule for next year. He leaves a host :
of admirers behind him as evidenced by ; -
a petition signed by “00 business men j ;
asking him to stay another year. I,

Some people have formed an incorrect idea of this store
through studying our show windows. Seeing nothing but
artistic things displayed, they jump to the conclusion that
only expensive articles are to be found within. By no
means. The windows are purposely made as attractive
as possible to form pictures to gladden the eye of the
passer-by. Once inside you find that we have not only
the luxuries, but the necessities; not only novelties, but
also staple merchandise of thorough dependability, and
all marked at prices as low or lower than those prevailing
elsewhere.
