THE “LITTLE THREE” Suggestions that the formation of a “Little Three,” which would have for its purpose the ostracizing’ of the University of Washington from the athletic schedules of those schools not included in the “Big Three,” and the subsequent break ing up of that combination have conic from various sources. Such a scheme would naturally involve the active participa tion of Oregon. There are many ways of breaking up the Big Three. The best way is to leave it alone Oregon has no grudge against Washington for entering the Big Three. Eventually it may prove to be a mistake on the part of the northern university. But Washington had the right to enter the new combination and overlook her neigh bors if she wished. Oregon regrets that Washington should' have done this when her rightful competitors in athletics are and always will be her closest neighbors. But Oregon and Washington are still friends. And if Ore gon should enter such a combination as the “Little Three,” she would be severing that friendship. Oregon did not be come a member of the new combination because by so doing, she felt she might endanger her friendship with other coast institutions. W&shington’s football team played Oregon last year. If Washington is willing, and a suitable date and terms can be arranged, Oregon should play the Sun Dodgers in Seattle. Oregon and Washington are 1 ho Universities Which represent two states which are naturally competitors. They are close neighbors. There is every reason in the world for friendly rivalry. Washington students are real friends of Oregon students. Oregon’s entrance into the “Little Three ” would sever that friendship. Let’s not do a. mean, small thing by ostracizing Washington from our athletic schedules and afterwards be ashamed of it. Welcome legislators! Oregon is your University. You have the heartiest Oregon welcome and the best Oregon wishes. May your stay be most enjoyable and profitable. if-.-—-* Communications I *-* Pendleton, Ore., .Inn, 2S. - (To the Editor.) Opinion among the 40 or more old Oregon students in Pendleton and viniuity us well as that group of as ardent supporters as the Pniversit.v has who live here, is against the graduate system of coaching for Oregon. This is rot a random guess hut a fact brought to light 1 ,v a canvass among Oregon men here to get their views on tin* situation which is at present making the Oregon campus a hot hod of contention. Opin ions as to Huntington’s ability as a coach and who should be brought to the University if lie is to go differ to a small extent in some cases hut there is no question about the prevalent views here regarding the graduate system it is held in disfavor. Older graduates point to the fact that the system was not a success when it was tried before in 15)12, and those who have watched its results during the past few years do not believe it a success. Let it he understood thnt this con demnation of the system is not a uni versal censure of Coach Huntington. Ap preciation is expressed from many sides for what he has done for Oregon and the results lie has obtained considering the shoals he has run into during his career nt Oregon are considered as good or even better than could he obtained by any other graduate coach. He lias faced conditions which would cause many men to give up the job and conquered them ns well ns any other graduate could hut the very fact that he has not conquered them to the satisfaction of all the Ore gon student body is pointed out ns one of the weak points of the graduate sys tem. Many Oregon students here have sensed tho brewing storm for the past year and now that it has broke there is a unanimity of feeling thnt the student « body should secure n change of coaches. Another year with student sentiment split as it Is at present and as it is hound to he despite the exchange of vows should all factions momentarily unite would he disastrous. This is the view of the majority of Oregon men here although there are those who feel that unless the services of a coach of national reputation can he secured it would he folly to hire a man of secondary ability and let Huntington go. l>obie would he satisfactory to the local Oregon contingent practically to a man. Now that the step has been taken the athletic council should make almost any concession in order to get a man of 'know repute. Those most eager for a change of mentors believe that Price of California would he acceptable while those who want a change only by the se curing ot a nationally known coach say that Huntington should be given another year in preference to him. It cannot he reiterated too strongly that local sentiment is not against the Present staff, it is against the graduate system. No coach can give entire sat isfaction but it is thought that a man I without affiliation to the school in any way can produce better results than can ' owe who must run into the cross currents I of prejudice which inevitably follow the | actions of a graduate coach. Local sup porters hope that the matter will be ad justed as quickly as possible so that the i Pniversity will not suffer from the shake ' ■ up any more than it has. When the se- | j lection is made let all abide and forge; ■ petty differences in fighting for a ' mightier Oregon. , LEITH AllROTT. ex-'L'l. !i To the Editor:— - j What determines a successful coach? f Tt certainly is not the length of time a man has been at a thing, but it is what 1 he has accomplished during that time.

Officers for the new term will be elected, and all members are urged to be present. Huntington has turned out two cham pionship teams in three years. What do we want. Regardless of who coaches the varsity next year or the years to follow, they cannot please everybody. Did you ever hear of a team using more than eleven players in the line-up at one time? Did you ever hear of a college having more than one head football coach. Arc California, Washington or Stan ford any stronger than before they or ganized and called themselves the "Big Three?” Coach Huntington has met them before with success. “Bill” Hayward, “Shy” Huntington, student presidents, and others have made the statement that the student body were not behind the team. I am told Bezdek used to say it. There is nothing new about that. It is a common thing for a coach to say when he wants to arouse the lethargy of the student Has the athletic council been accus tomed to secrecy in the past? Why should they employ secret methods in the last few meetings? Is "Shy” the only one to get the ax? Is “Bill” to get the ax also? Where is this going to end and what good is to be derived? These questions should be answered by uubaised students and loyal supporters of Oregon. Hies methods employed in this mai ler are not the methods of old. It isn’t the old “Oregon Spirit.” If these old timers who have talked Oregon Spirit to os would demonstrate it and cut out petty jealousies, and politics, we could have a greater Oregon and a better foot ball team.—It.
