In another column the Emerald today presents an example of the lengths to which some newspapers (?) will go in their at tempts to kill space and attract attention to themselves by direct falsification. The article appeared in the Seattle Post-Intel ligencer and insinuates that Coach Bezdek will claim a tech nical victory over Washington because of the defeat adminis tered to California by the lemon-yellow warriors, last Saturday. California walked on the northerners to the tune of 28 to 0 earlier in the season. If Coach Bezdek, or anyone else at Oregon, was going to claim a technical victory over Washington they would have done so long ago, when athletic authorities at the Seattle school, with out as much as asking “by your leave,” telegraphed that the Ore gon-Washington game, scheduled for November 10, was cancel led. They followed the telegram with a letter containing a few weak-kneed excuses for calling off the game, but up to this time have refused to answer any of the inquiries sent by Graduate Manager Tiffany. Should Bezdek have claimed a victory over Coach Hunt’s aggregation for their failure to appear on Novem ber 10, he would have been justified by all the rules of fair play, but he did not. Bezdek is not bothering with a bunch whose word does not appear to be worth the paper upon which it is written. What Oregon wants to know is whether or not Washington is going to live up to the terms ol the contract between the two schools and make good the loss resulting to Oregon through fail ure of Washington to play the game as scheduled. Last season a contract was signed between the two schools providing for the game last year and one this year. Oregon fulfilled her part of the bargain and paid Washington the money-agreed upon for the game last year. This season the University stands to lose $800 because of the failure of Washington to live up to her agree ment. So far tin’ northerners have made no move to reimburse the University for this loss. Breaking contracts whenever they have felt so inclined_ and apparent defeat usually has inclined them—is an old trick of Washington’s, but it is one that must stop if northwest and Pacific coast intercollegiate conference agreements are to be worth the paper they are written on. The students of the Uni versity of Washington are, we believe, clean, fair minded college men and women, but the practices of some of their officials is questionable as regards fair play and good sportsmanship, to say the least. Turning,hack to the P-1 article, the foolishness of the whole thing is so evident as to make the writer appear simple. Not even taking the trouble to inform himself as to the actual facts of the Cali torn ia-Oregon game, as is indicated by his ignorance' ot thi’ tact that Richardson did not appear in the California line up, the writer was evidently trying to fill a hole made by the divorce court man to dig up a juicy scandal. And speaking of football letter men in the national service, Washington has no cause to lord a over anyone. Not only have! all but one of Oregon’s letter men of last year enlisted, but also there are but two of the 1910 lemon-yellow second team who are! not with the colors. California holds one record at least. After all the critics and sport writers who saw Saturday’s game conceded that Oregon not only outplayed, but also outfought and outgeneraled the blue and gold eleven, the Daily Californian presents an entire column of alibis. Previous to the game the Californian came out in bold headlines ■ ■ i■1 dw !::e Enu raid ns c.-dime the li.'-ir-j "quRters.’’ The article in the Emerald upon which they based their state ment was ai interview with members of the Marine team, who said that if Oregon got the jump on California during the first! ten minutes of play they had them beaten. _ SENIORS DAW LOIS FOR OIOE PARTNERS Each Man Must Escort Two Girls to Annual Event at Sigma Nu House December 7. Packwood Is Forced to Wield HisVRazor for Fair Start in Mustache Race. The god of chance held court yester day, at the senior class meeting, when the partners for the annual lottery dance to be held «t the Sigma Nu house, De cember 7, were drawn. Due to the scarcity of men, the girls will have to ITooverize, and be content with one man to two girls. The committee laid down stTict rules, that each man must play absolutely fair, and take an equal num ber of dances with each of his ladies. The first fifteen minutes of the meet ing were given over to the question, “to shave, or not to shave Fred Pack wood,” who was accused by the tonsorial committee of violating the conditions of the mustache rule. Tonsorial Operation Suggested The whole mqjpL'e started, when the suggestion arose that Packwood’s mis placed eyebrow be removed from said possessor’s upper lip. To this sugges tion, which rapidly gained backing, the object of the attention, naturally remon strated. All present, however, were de termined that said fringe of hair, skirt ing said Mr. Packvvood’s upper lip, must he removed from position. The proud owner attempted to leap with his mous tache through the second-story window of Villard hall, but the barbers were too fast and in a moment the vietam was be:ng hauled back through f^e window, by bis legs. Once more Pnekwood re turned to his clamorous classmates, and now realizing that to save his valued moustache, was impossible, lie nride a spirited appeal to the sympathies of his fellow mates, and asked that he be al lowed to do the act of parting with his moustache himself. After ^jue consider- . ation, Packwood’s appeal was granted, and he returned to the campus that ] afternoon minus his decoration. After the excitement of the above episode had disappeared, the class pro ceeded with their business.

On!y Skilled Workers Can Make Socks and Imbibe Galsworlhy Simultaneously. University women this year are knit inp, instead of reading, according to drs. M. h'. McClain, head of the library oan desk, who says that statistics show t decrease in the demand for books. ‘It takes a skilled knitter to read kalsworthy, and make a sock at the iame time, said Airs. McClain. “For hat reason the girls read periodically, ilmost entirely, and the. requests for >ooks from women number far less him those from men.” The college as a whole, according to drs. McClain, reads less than formerly. ‘Last year.” she saiu, "3,057 was the otal number loaned in October, this ear it is 2,985. Of this number, war looks and books on Belgium, France nnl Russia, are the most popular. It s interesting to note that very few books m Germany, or in that language, are akon out.” No outside reading for practical ethics s demanded this year by Dean Fox. and ’resident Campbell, who are in charge if the course, and this, in the'opinion if Mrs. McClain, is the reason for the lecrease in University reading. “It was customary to require the •ending of at least twelve books, by ■very freshmitn.” said Mrs. McClain. ‘Freshmen do not read this year, be mise it is not required of them." Mrs. McClain says that Eugene people ,re using the library this year more ban ever before. The majority of the looks loaned to them, are war books. 1 S he says. J "Hots‘s the fight? Remember.
