KEEPING THE GAMES AT HOME.
After occupying the most prominent place in the limelight
since the opening of school, football might well be relegated into
the background for the remainder of the year but for the fact
that the coaet conference has decreed that other athletic con
tests shall not be scheduled this year. Student interest, there
fore, centers on football for next year and by far the most dis
cussion hangs around the Oregon-O. A. C. game, v/hich has ten
tatively been set for Thanksgiving Day, in Portland.
Upon the campus there appears to be a majority sentiment
against playing the Aggie game, the big game of the varsity
season, in Portland. There is a strong feeling, and one perfect,
ly justified by sound reason, that the O. A. C. contest should be
a campus game, the banner attraction of homecoming day for
both institutions, and any move to permanently establish them as
campus games will meet with student approval as strong as is
the criticism of the present schedule.
Last year the students voiced their disapproval of Portland
as the scene of the game in such a decided tone that it was hard
ly to be expected that representatives of the student body would
agree to playing the game in that city until every effort to bring
the games back to the two campuses had been tried. This year,
of course, naming the place of the game was up to the college
and their word would be final if the game is to be played. If
they insist that Portland be the scene of the conflict, then Ore
gon’s only alternative is to play in Portland or not play at all.
| But do the majority of the students at the Agricultural college
not feel the same way about this matter as do Oregon students?
Would they not rather see the game played on their campus
where it rightly belongs?
There is but one argument for taking the game to Portland
and that is the financial side. Without doubt the receipts of such
a game in Portland would add mightily to the student body cof
fers, but should that argument be the almighty one, outweighing
every other consideration ? Has Oregon reached the stage where
football has become a financial activity?
Even this year, with two intercollegiate and the Multnomah
games on the campus, some few students have expressed the
sentiment that they were not getting face value returns on their
student body ticket investment. Next year they will have real
cause to complain, with only one conference game here. Nor is
this to be the principal difficulty—the absence of more home
games next year promises to keep football from fulfilling the
one big need that will be more evident than ever before, the need
of a unifying and spirit building activity among the students.
Primarily football, and all other sports, should be for the
students. Their interests should be the first to receive consider
ation and they are justified in demanding that the big game of
the season be played where all of them can witness the contest.
The alumni of both institutions, the interested ones whose con
sideration should be second only to the student body, are entire
ly justified in expecting to see the O. A. C. game, the one in
which they are the most interested, staged as the banner event
of their Homecoming Day.

Assembly Speaker Tells of
Failures of Men Due to
Lack of Proper
Foundation.
President Campbell Asks Men
Under Draft Age to Stay
in College.
I>r. Frederick D. Kershner, of Cin
cinnati, one of the speakers at the
Northwest parliament of ministers, now
in session at the Christian church, en
tered a plea for high moral character*,
as the foundation of life, in an address
on “The Men Who Win,’’ delivered in
Villard hall, Wednesday morning, at the
assembly hour.
“If we are to build our lives well,
we must build them first on character,”
said Dr. Kershner.
Character is formed, I>r. Kershner
continued, by regulation of the impulses
by the will. He gave examples of what
lack of right, moral character has done
for men.
Examples of Laok of Character
George Jeffreys, lord chief justice of
the king’s bench in England, in the lat
ter half of the seventeenth century, Dr.
Kershner pointed out, as a real moral
bankrupt. “Jeffreys has been hated
without ft parallel in English history,”
said Dr. Kershner. “He was a brilliant
man. and there was nothing wrong with
him except that he did not lay the right
foundation, and his inhuman decisions in
Che conviction of prisoners show his
character.”
Aaron Burr, faithful to but one
thing. Iiis own ambition, Dr. Kershner
gave as another man, in whom moral
character was lacking. “No more bril
liftut genius was ever born in America,
than Aaron Burr.” he said, “yet he died
h ruined and a broken man.”
“The. second greax factor in forming
character, is the intellect,” Dr. Kersh
ner continued. “A fool is probably
worth more than a knave,” lie said, “hut
that is all that you can say of him.”
A character is combined, finnlly, Dr.
Kefsbner explained, by the development
of the artistic qualities.
President Speaks on Draft
President 1^. D. Campbell, before in
trododng 3>r. Kershner, urged all men
under the draft age to remain in col
lege, in accordance with the plea of
Secretary of War Baker, and eaid thst
the facility members are at the service
of the students to give them any adrise
,on enlisting. The law school, under the !
direction of Dr. E. W. Hope, will help 1
the men in filling out their question- \
naires.
