THE “BIG THREE” Oregon has been left out of the combination which lias re sulted from the break-up of the old Pacific Coast conference. The resultant organization is a group which has functioned tor some time within the coast conference, seeking to dictate to the other three merribers. This year Oregon was ottered a football schedule which would have been suicide to accept. Oregon refused to ratify the schedule, and since that time she has shouldered the blame for the trouble which has resulted. But Oregon should not be blamed. Oregon could not hare accepted the scheduled games, lor to have done to would have been the same as forfeiting the two games scheduled with fctan fordand California. Oregon was not opposed to a four-game Schedule, providing that she was given an equal break with the other members of the conference. ’ Now that the “Big Three’ has been formed, Oregon is left literally dangling in the air. Allied with 0. A. C. ana Vv. N. C. bf necessity, she must either shift for herself' or find some myalls of combatting the new combination. As yet, however, Oregon has no need for worry. The mem bers of the new group must look outside their membership toi games, since each team can play but two games within the “BigThree.” Oregon will never need to angle tor games, since eVcry football fan and every other institution realizes the strength of Oregon elevens and their drawing power in any game. Oregon is the only school on the coast which has been invited twice to compete against eastern elevens at Pasadena oh New Years, and never has she failed to produce a team wliich could offer stiff compeition to any team. The “Big Three” was officially born yesterday. The Emerald predicts now that the new combination will have more troubles than the coast conference ever had. Staidord lias i student enrollment smaller than Oregon. Washington is on eUnibered with a four dav trip to either of the Caldoruia in attritions. The “Big Three” will find these two elements hard to combat. California is strong enough to with static almost any schedule, but those in control of athletics at Berke ley will bo forced to give more ground to the other two mem bars of the new combination than they have ever been asko< to give to the members of the coast conference. The die seems to he cast. Oregon is out of the coast con forence as far as football is concerned and is not sorry. Oregon is out of the new combination and is not sorry. Oregoi bad representatives at the coast contcrence who were no' afraid to protect their school and run the risk of being placet in a bad light by other schools. And Oregon is not sorry. Ore gon will be able to produce the football teams in the tuturi which it has produced in the past. Oregon is right. AN o hav< no cause for worry. The Oregana chive is progressing slowly. Lot’s get to TOrk and put it over in the true Oregon style. AN e must have the yearbook, eaeh of us and all of us. Campus organizations are not responding as they should. l*ep up, ami order yours now, for you’ll surely regret it if you don’t. Most of us have started off the new year right and have gone in for an education and good grades. I jet’s hope that we shall be able to make a good start and keep with it through out the term. . ... .— • THREE CHANGES MADE IN STAFF OF OREGANA Velma Huptrt to Succeed Harry Ellis us Assistant Editor; tlsman to Write Up Juniors.

Stoddard, M7, in a letter to Dean Dyment. says that he has just been rejuvenated by reading a copy of “Old Oregon,” and adds “Give my hello to all I know.” Stoddard was a major in the school of journalism, and is now working on the “Globe and Commercial Advertiser,” in New York. Besides his routine duties, he frequently writes short, snappy, bits for feature columns. The following recently appeared under the heading “Observations,” one of which fol lows::— “A reformer is a man who leads a crusade to clean up the city streets and then throws his old shoes out the front window.” I ! f The Campus Cynic ] **:}::>;<* -S: I}:*## j!< LOST—GIRLS’ EARS. To the Editor:— I crave information: "When did femin ine ears go out of date? I think tlie last ear I saw displayed on a feminine head was back in the fall of 1014 — that was the year of the Big Frost. Since then I have seen no ears. Did the frost get them all? At any rate, instead of the modest nature grown auditory organ, so pink and fragile, we now see the modern three story hairpin garage erected, with the large circular alcoves projecting sideward in Chinese pergola effect. The most obvious thing about these creations is that they are obvious. Seen from a distance they remind us of other fair things — the old square-rigged sail ing vessel for instance — with full sails billowing in the breeze. The effect is graceful, but it leaves us with a deep sense of wonder as to how so much sail can be carried aloft without capsizing the vessel. Some men have alleged that this ar rangement is far from satisfactory, Those men who infest the darker streets of an evening, lit only by their “light o' love’ bring back strange tales. It seems that in leaning over to whisper choice hits of prose and poetry they become snagged in a veritable entanglement of net, hairpins and hair. What is an ear to he so completely shut up in a hairem? • Or is it to filter the uaughtv things | said in a modern world? We opine not. | Modern ladies are as modern as the mod j cm naughty things. j Possibly it is to make the masculine folk think they may speak with greater freedom, since the ear is not visible as a warning. Certainly. Now we have it. l Its so that the man may propose sooner. The presence of the actual, naked eat [ might frighten him away. E. ,T. II. j I AT THE Y. M. C.
