Business Manager 961 Editor 666 PHONES Daily Newt Editor This banc Phil Brogan Night Editor This Iuue Dan Lyons Hugo Bezdek Monday, Oregon will be host to the greatest football coach in the country. He is another who began his career at Oregon and who has conquered other fields; there are many such who started on this grand old campus of ours. Fifteen years ago, Hugo Bezdek came here as a football coach in charge of a loyal band of athletes, when Oregon was in its infancy. Since that time many changes have occurred;' Oregon now takes its place among the great institutions in the coun try, by reasons of its increased attendance and its added requirements for the standards of higher education. Hugo Bezdek has since taken rank at the head of the great football coaches of the country, by reason of his achievements in other schools and the success of the great football team which he developed at Oregon in 1916. The prominence of this great football team aided greatly in making a name for Oregon throughout the country. The achievements of Hugo Bezdek in developing this team did much to aid Bezdek in his rise to the place he now holds. Oregon must give Hugo Bezdek a mighty welcome. When Ore- [ gon defeated the University of Pennsylvania, January 1, 1917, it, was a victory for western football. Since that great day Eastern foot ball critics have given western teams the recognition they rightfully deserved. Not only was this victory a particularly great achieve ment for Oregon, but it wTus a great achievement for all Western col leges. Oregon knows this and welcomes Hugo Bezdek us the man who placed Western college athletics on their present high plane. Intramural competition has brought about great results, and its j results are far-reaching. The manner in which the doughnut athletic contests and the doughnut debate series are getting started this year is gratifying. The development of the many rather than the few, will be one of the fruits. - j Oregon athletics as a University function rather than a student activity would do much to raise the standards of athletics in general. The Emerald advocates a director of athletics who can bring about cooperation and get results. One might think that the “blue laws’’ of Eugene, would be sufficient. Yet some advocate "blue laws” for the campus. Are we u small town school ? The student petition committee surely wields a wicked axe. PYGMALION" RECEIVED WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM University Cast Exceptional in Elk’s Benefit Play “Pygmalion,” which is said to bo tho host of George Bernard Shaws plays, was produced with wonderful success by the I’niversity dramatic depart ment at the Kugene theatre Thursday and Friday nights, under the auspices ot* the Klks to help fill their Christmas cheer fund. The play was produced on the campus last year with success and only slight changes in the cast were made when it was again staged this week end. One could ex poet a superior production as Fergus Keddie, Charlotte Banfield, ami Madam Rose MctJrew played the leading roles and the play was in no way a disap point meat. Fergus Keddie played the part of Henry Higgins, professor of phonetics, who changes i flower girl picket! up from the streets, poor beyond belief, and with no education, into such a cultured person that at the end of six months she passed for a dutchess Charlotte Banfield showed herself to be versatile and her work was of the highest tvpe as the “glitter snipe,” Klir.a Doolittle Tht* change from the poor creature picked up on the street into the poliab' d ladv was «yuite com plete, and the whole portrayal of the character equals anything that has ever been seen in Kugene. Madam McGrew. who has had years of experience in grand opera, showed I her groat ability as the mother of llonry Higgins. The part of Mr. l)oo little, father of Kliza, was accurately and very cleverly portrayed by Nor veil Thompson, who was in the same i role in the production last year. Dar rell Larsen cleverly played Colonel Dickering, the close friend of Henry Higgins. ltuth Dayman made her first ap pearance in connection with the Uni versify dramatics department as the troubled housewife of Higgins. She was the conventional type of woman and the work was extremely successful. Claire Keeney played the wealthy son who takes a great interest in Miss Doolittle after her appearance in so cietv. Campus as well as the town people expect superior work from Keen ey since his many successes on the cam pus and this was no exception. His work as the young “Goof" was clever and one of the best things he has ever done. Irene Stewart was the young society girl who is intent upon becoming mod orn in every way, and Hildegarde It open in played the conventional moth er who could not quite understand her daughter What is an Knglish play without a Maid 1 This part was plaved bv Mabel Gilhatn BEZDEK RECEPTION IS BEING ARRANGED (Continued from page ouel visit and who knew the coach while he was situated here, hopes that the studeu body will undertake big things to shew him that he is welcome home. “Kveryone will be glad to see him."

To the Editor: Now that the time has arrived for the selection of a football coach for the coming year, the writer wishes to make a few suggestions. Since the student body tax is compulsory it is possible to increase expenditures accordingly. I would, therefore, suggest that Coach Huntington’s salary be increased from $4000 to $1800 or $5000 per annum, and that Graduate Manager Benefiel’s sal ary be likewise increased from the present paltry sum of $2700 to $3200 or $3300. And while we are at it, why not have the Emerald published six days of tho week instead of five? We could then have longer stories about tho Kappa Sig ducks and other topics of absorbing interest. Yours for bigger things, CYNICUS. said Onthank. “He is a friend of all and we ns friends to him must play our part.” “We all extend to him a hearty wel come home,” said President Campbell last night. “We highly appreciate the work which he did here not only as a coach but in regard to the strengthen ing of the morale of the students as far as studies are concerned. We have been much interested in the work he has been doing in the East and are glad to see him once again on the Paci fic const. We hope that students and all will be prepared to receive him with open arms.” Framed Campus Views at Read ’g. Our Reputation as Shoe Repairers 35 years in Eugene is your assuranc of sat is faction.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MAKES BUSINESS SURVEY — First of Series Shows Loss To State Jewelers As a result of the first of a series of investigations being conducted by the campus Chamber of Commerce, it was found that approximately $11,000 in gross sales of class jewelry was lost : to Oregon jewelers last spring. The j cause of the loss was given as the fail- , ure in bringing the local market to the attention of high school classes. The statistics were obtained by the research division of the chamber, which will also get data on other industries. The total amount of class jewelry pur chased by high school students of the state and the portion purchased out side of Oregon were ascertained by sending letters to graduating classes, 55 of these responding. These replies ' showed that 59 per cent of such jew- j elry was purchased from firms not ! in Oregon, and that 36 of them patron ize outside firms. Each school was asked to state its reasons for doing this, three types of replies predominated. In case the pur- , chase was made outside the state in variably the reason advanced was that no local market had been brought to their attention and that they had been i intensively solicited by salesmen from , outside the state. When the purchase was made in Oregon two reasons were advanced: first, a desire to patronize home industry and, second: superior quality and better prices on the part of the Oregon product in open competi tion. This last fact is taken to be most significant by the organization as the investigation showed that in almost every case the average piece cost of Oregon made jewelry was cheaper. The University of Oregon Chamber of Commerce is a student organization of the school of business administration and was organized on the campus last year. It holds membership in both the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce. Tt aims to be of definite service to the business men of the state, as well as to the students in business administration.

SIR James Mackenzie Davidson visited Professor Roentgen to find out how he discovered the X-rays. Roentgen had covered a vacuum tube, called a Hittorf or Crookes tube, with black paper so as to cut off all its light. About four yards away was a piece of cardboard coated with a fluorescent compound. He turned on the current in the tube. The cardboard glowed brightly. Sir James asked him: “What did you think?” “I didn’t think, I investigated,” said Roentgen. He wanted to know what made the cardboard glow. Only planned experiments could give the answer. We all know the practical result. Thousands of lives are saved by surgeons who use the X-rays. Later on, one of the scientists in the Research Laboratory of the General Electric Company became interested in a certain phenomenon sometimes observed in incandescent lamps. Others had observed it, but he, like Roentgen, investigated. The result was the discovery of new laws governing electrical conduction in high vacuum. Another scientist in the same laboratory saw that on the basis of those new laws he could build a new tube for producing X-rays more effec tively. This was the Coolidge X-ray tube which marked the greatest advance in the X-ray art since the original discovery by Roentgen. Thus, scientific investigation of a strange phenomenon led to the discovery of a new art, and scientific investigation of another strange phenomenon led to the greatest improvement in that art. It is for such reasons that the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are continually investigating, continually exploring the unknown. It is new knowledge that is sought. But practical results follow in an endless stream, and in many unexpected ways. General ffElectric Company General Office Schen^c.u
