Godfrey Inter-Sectional Competition Again The proposal has come from Stanford University that an inter sectional debate be arranged between the winning team of the Pacific Coast triangular debate conference and the winner of an eastern or middle western debate conference. Oregon should be especially in terested in this proposal, for Oregon has won the honors in the Pacific Coast Triad for the past two years, and the opportunities to go into larger fields cannot be overlooked. The East will never forget or forgive the West for the decisive defeats which have been administered in intercollegiate athletic com petition,—yet the East still shrugs its shoulders as if to say, “Our institutions of higher education maintain a much, higher level than those of the West.” It is an accepted theory that students will not attend competitive debate; they are more interested in the physical combat of athletic contests than in the battle of oratorical prowess. Interest in forensics must be built up. Scholarship has not lost its proper perspective through the inter ference of athletic competition, in colleges and universities. The uni versities of the West which have triumphed over those of the East on the athletic field must prepare to defend themselves in the intellec tual arena also. The proposed plan of iutersectional debates presents an opportunity. Coach Bohler In spite of the fact that the Varsity basketball team has just passed through one of the most disastrous schedules in history, George M. Bohler who coached that team has retained the practically unan irnous confidence of the students. This is rather remarkable and is a tribute to the coaching ability and personality of the coach. Bohler declares that he has the highest esteem for Oregon students and that the spirit of the Oregon teams has never been excelled in any college in the country, lie has been looking to the future and has sacrificed his reputation as a coach of basketball this year to assure success another season. Students familiar with the situation and the other members of the coaching staff declare that Coach Bolder's proteges have shown a remarkable improvement since the opening of the season this year, and that with the experience they have gained he should have an excellent squad next fall. If the apparent misunderstandings which have arisen in the school of physical education cannot be amicably settled and Coach Bohler retained as coach here, then it will be a pity. Coach Bohler has earned the whole-hearted support of the students, which many coaches cannot do in a lifetime; his methods have been clean. If a conciliation is possible, then it behooves all interested parties to do everything in their power toward that end. Misunderstandings can be settled without a loss of pride; to give and take is a quality we all should possess. The Emerald hopes that tin' misunderstandings in this ease can hi' cleared up once and for all and the Oregon spirit thrive. No, We Can’t Be Serious It appears to be a favorite argument when new plans are sug gested that the students do not agree with, that these disagreements are not serious, and that the social standpoint has always been con sidered by the student. How long is this sort of “side issue tactics” to be pursued! The student opinion voiced against the Saturday classes and the six-day week is serious and is not based on any so-called “social point of view.” Students are human, and by the time they arrive at college are in a position to give serious thought to questions which vitally concern them.

FORTY-FOUR TORN OUT FDR GIRLS RIFLE TEAM Preliminary Exercises Given at Meeting Saturday Approximately 60 girls have turned out for rifle practice among whom there are a number who have never handled a rifle before but who never-the-less are making good scores. Forty-four girls were present at the first meeting of the girls’ rifle team, which was held in the R. O. T. C. bar racks last Saturday morning. Fifteen additional girls signed for practice Monday. Preliminary rifle exercises were demonstrated and performed Saturday morning by the girls present, and schedules were made out by the girls, marking the hours on which they wore free and desired to practice on the range. A schedule has been made out by Lieutenant M. E. Knowles, coach, and copies have been posted in the barracks and have been sent to each living organization. It is planned to divide the girls into four teams. “The girls have taken a great inter est in the team and have turned out well,” said Major Baird, “Many who had never fired a rifle before have made excellent scores.” Cadet Major Sloan, who is assisting Lieutenant Knowles in the work of instruction said, “The girls are cer tainly showing up well. We are plan ning a doughnut competition shortly. We will organize tho teams in the next week or two and we expect to have the shoot-off about the first of next term. The houses are all responding well to the idea of having a girls’ rifle team, and I expect that we will be able to have something better than doughnut shoots before tho year is over. “Shoots with O. A. C., California and some middle western universities are being arranged,” he said. “We want every girl tcx at least try out,” said Coach Knowles, “I hope that the girls who were present at the meeting last Saturday will not be dis couraged with the fact that we did not start shooting at once. The work last Saturday was simply preliminary, and we will start on the real work at the regular schedule periods, this next week." A few of the girls who havo turned out have their own rifles, which they prefer to use rather than those fur nished by the military department. Shooting stands have been constructed and covered with army blankets to per mit the girls to shoot comfortably from the prone position. The shooting yesterday again re vealed some high scores. Wave Ander son registered a score of 94 out of a possible 100. According to Coach Knowles, this is the fourth highest score ever made by either man or wo man on the TTniversitv range. Coach Knowles remarked that this was es pecially good since it was made on an N. R. A. target, in which the bullseye is exceptionally small. “Miss Ander son had never touched a rifle before she came out for the team,” said Coach Knowles, “and I'm sure that other girls can make good seores also, if they are onlv willing to try.” The 10 girls standing highest on the team bulletin board at the B. O. T. C. barracks in order of rank are: Wave Anderson, Margaret Seymour. Wanda Baggett. Martha Pickens, Winifred TTibson, Katherine Freeman, Porothv Chauase, Elizabeth Stephenson. Jane TTpson Frances Cochran. DANCE TONITE DREAMLAND FREE Prises—Rogers Silverware Given Away BOB STEWART'S NEW ORCHESTRA The Brightest Spot in Town Don't Miss This One COUNCIL OPPOSES PLAN (Continued from page one) The necessity that is felt by a great number of University students for a full day off for work on Saturdays was also a factor in bringing the council to its final decision. This is the matter referred to in its resolution as “con tained in reports from campus organi zations.” It was the general opinion in the various groups on the campus that the adoption of a six-day week would work a hardship on the self supporting student who needs a whole day on Saturday in order to stay in school. There was some favorable discussion of a plan to extend the six-day recita tion plan to the various departments of school who need more time for reci tations, leaving the rest of the school on the present basis. The science de partments were considered as those which this proposition would most help. ■No definite action along this line was taken. The council also passed a resolution to the effect that down town college dances be conducted in accordance to the regulations of the University and that they be properly chaperoned.
