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

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.

“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.”

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.

JiiUorj ot Crookes Tubt
How Were X-Rays Discovered?
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.
