Famous Trophy of Northern
ers Held in Portland.
i
Raffles, tbe famous crook, had noth
ing on tbe Oregon students who stole the
University of Washington stick. The
famous stick failed to read) Eugene be
cause it was held up in Portland by a
federal temporary restraining order
against tbe express company by whom il
was sent.
The stick is uu old trophy formerly
awarded by Washington each year to
the house that has the biggest represen
tation on tbe Washington team. For the
.past few years it has been in the posses
sion of tbe Fijis.
The plans for securing tbe stick were
icffected last Tuesday night at a rally
coulniittee meeting, and two men were
detailed to go to Seattle to procure the
trophy. They were -armed with plans
and keys to every fraternity house on the
Washington campus, and upon searching
'the houses during the night found the
r'priac in the Fiji trophy room. They
slept that night in a cheap Jap hotel, and
next morning took the stick to the ex
press office by concealing it in a truck
load of trunks.
On discovering the loss, Washington
men got a search warrant, but it was too
kite, the stick was in Portland. The re
straining order of the Portland federal
judge spoiled all the plans to display the
coveted stick at the rally last night. It
is believed that the loss of the stick was
not through any lack of cleverness of
the Oregon sleuths.
Rumor has it that Washington is to
bring the famous iron hook to Eugene.
The. plan, it is said, was to consign it to
1100 Washington students in Eugene,
who had to sign up at the express office
before it could he delivered. The hook
was then to be chained, locked, and
ironed to eight, loyal Washingtonians,
and then be displayed. Hut where is the
hook? The question now is whether or
not it will appear at the game this af
ternoon. Oregon leaders maintain that
the hook will never be seen by Oregon
supporters. _
Griffin Likes to Scale Peaks;
Rainier Has Chief Romantic Call
INTRODUCING ELDON GRIFFIN,
instructor in history at the Univer
sity.
“It is most important that 1 speak of
my wife,” said Mr. Griffin, for you see
lie was married just last summer, and
therefore Mrs. Eldon Griffin enters
finite prominently into all his conversa
tion.
. The Griffins both like mountain climb
ing. Mount Rainier has some particular
1.' romantic associations for us.” he de
clared laughingly, “in fact I could tell a
!"t about some of the interesting oppor
tunities for getting acquainted which
mountain climbing lias afforded us, but
1 'vou't.
Mr. Griffin, wlio is a native of Kansas,
graduated some years ago from Harvard.
Following bis graduation he spent three
years in Japan at various imperial
schools iu the employment of the Japan
ese government. During this time he
made several trijKs into China and the
Flulippiues. In this way he was able
to get first hand information ubout the
"’in today. Few changes are iu the line
up from that which was sent against the
Cardinals at Palo Alto two weeks ago.
"Bill” Steers will pilot the team, while
in Ike halfback position will be Mead
and Chapman; Reinhart aud Hill will not
eastern peoples, which forms a base for
his present courses in instruction deal
ing with history of the far east. When
he returned to the United States he spent
some time studying at Stanford Univer
sity.
It is Mr. Griffin’s firm belief that
there are governmental problems in re
gard to the foreign question right in
this state that really demand a thorough
knowledge of the occidental situation.
He hopes to be able to present this
knowledge to h great many young peo
ple through the medium of his history
courses
"1 think 1 had too much vacation last
Thursday.” admitted Mr. Griffin, “yon
se >, wc were unpacking furniture. When
we i-a-ne to Eugene ourr furniture did not
come with us. and so. for a while, we
lived with a table, a. stove, a bed and
two chairs. The furniture arrived from
New York this week, however, and that
was how we celebrated Armistice Day.”

((Editor of the pniversity of Washington
1 Sun Dodger and speeial writer for the
University of Washington Daily.)
This is the story of a great football
team,—“great” because we at Washing
ton have more confidence in our fighters
now, after three successive defeats, thin
we did at the beginning of the season.
Washington makes no predictions, has
no excuses to offer. The Sun Dodgers
have come to Eugene to do their |>pst,
and we’ll be satisfied at Washington
with that “best” win or lose.
We Washingtonians attended your ral
ly last night and heard the emphasis
which each one of you, alumnus and
undergraduate, placed on that first Ore
gon-Washingtou game, and on the spirit
of Washington teams, as you knew them,
in ye goode oide days. ' -
But Washington isn’t the Washington
that you used to know,—not even the
Washington which invaded your campus
in 1916. Washington has been defeated
since then, though—as you put it—“not
licked.” And those losses have put a
new fighting spirit in the Sun Dodger
elevens and the student body, where
unco was the spirit of over-confidence
for nine successive years.
Here it is in a few words: Washing
ton is going in for a battle royal to
day, because the Sun Dodgers like a
good scrap, not because they want to
win a championship or'a game for the
game’s sake. •
If you wunt to know it, Oregon, that
is the new Washington spirit. We like to
fight at Washington now, for the game’s
sake. And we’re proud of ‘ our team’s
showing this year, because it. has givpn
everything that it his had, because it hi
playing for love of the sport, rather
tbau love of victory.
So that is the story of our great foot
ball team,—green, inexperienced, but
fighters.
We have a hew coach at Washingtqn,
—“Stub” Allisou. He’s the other rea
son that Washington fights.
His name has as much “he-man” in
it, us bo bus hiuisclf. It is doubtful if
there cvcrtas been a coach at Washing
ton who has been so well-liked as “Stub”’
They have obeyed others, and reward'd
still others; bu the Suu Dodger athletes
