NEW FOOTBALL RULE NOT
ADVANTAGE,SAYS COACH
Huntington Foresees Slow
Game Without Free Kick
DANGERS ARE INCREASED
Limitation of Shift Plays to
Upset Western Teams
In the opinion of “Shy” Huntington,
head football coach, the rule passed
Saturday by the intercollegiate associa
tion of amateur athletics of America,
abolishing the free kick for goal and
substituting for it a play from the line
of scrimmage, on or back of the five
yard line, is not as important as many
eastern critics would indicate.
The abolishment of the free kick
for goal will probably result, in the
almost universal adoption of the place
kick after a touch down, says Hunting-^
ton as he does not believe that a
coach will uncork a good play to gain
an extra point when the saving of that
play may mean yardage for a touch
down on another play.
Coaches Will Be Hindered
“The passing of the rule abolishing
the free kick,” said Huntington, “is.
not a distinct advantage. It means
that it will take longer to get the ball
into play again after the touchdown
and that it will be harder for the
coaches to develop the play. Further,
if it was the purpose of the rules com
mittee to eliminate the dangers of the
game, then the committee has failed,
for by allowing another scrimmage play
it is evident that the dangers are in
creased by just that much.”
It will, however, in the opinion of
the coach, prove more difficult to make
the goal from placement than from the
held ball which has been the case.
With the lack of experienced kickers
this will undoubtedly work a hardship
on tho varsity next fill 1 as neither
Hunk Latham nor Dutch Oram who will
probably be called upon to do the boot
ing are consistent place kickers.
“Spike” Leslie who did the booting for
tho Lemon Yellow last season will grad
unto this spring.
No Need for Change
Several other changes in rules were
passed by the meeting in Now York
Saturday, prominent among which were
the ones affecting shift, plays and clip
ping from behind. Huntington does
not feel that there was n need for any
changes in the rules regarding shift
plays and clipping and in respect to
this said: “Tho plan to limit shift plays
seems to emanate from a group of the
coaches from the large eastern insti
tutions who dominate the meeting in
New York and who have succeeded np
parently in legislating a number of
rules. The move to limit the number
of shift plays is probably a move on
their part to prevent Notre Dame from
using the large number of bewildering
plavs which have been in such a large
measure the secret of the success of the
Notre Dame and certain other western
teams on the gridiron.”
Other Rule Discussed
Another rule that was worked over
was the “one man in motion” which
now provides for any player leaving
the scrimmage line before play begins
must be at least five yards behind the
line when the ball is snapped. Hunting
ton does not think that the “one man
in motion” rule will effect football
on the Pacific Coast very much, say
ing, “Stanford last season used the one
man in motion by having an end run
in before the ball was snapped in an ef ,
fort to attract the attention id' the op I
posing players.”

nusical activities,” stated Dean Uands
mry. “The professional schools have
been developing to such an extent that
the University is becoming vocational
rather than cultural.” He believes that
the proposal will, by bringing more and
better artists, increase the attendance of
students and will consequently add to the
appreciation and the cultural side of col
lege life.
The concerts this year have been run
in a very slim financial basis, according
lo Dean Landsbury, and it will bo im
possible to continue them at all unless
some measure of relief is afforded. He
declared that members of the faculty of
I ho school of music had personally made
themselves responsible for the guaran
tees.
lie said that Oregon was far in the
rear of other colleges of equal and lesser
standing in regard to music activities,
anil cited examples of the methods by
which such things are financed at other
schools. The gleo clubs and the orches
tra are among the University’s host pub
licity mediums, but they are often not
self-supporting, he said, pointing out that
no deficits from local concerts could be
tolerated.
It is expected that tlie matter will be
carried over until next term and may be
presented to the students for their ap
proval at the same time as the regular
student body election in the early part
of May.
NEW COLLEGE ENTRANCE
EXAMINATION PROPOSED
President Smith of Washington and Lee
lias Four Questions Only, All
Answered by "Yes" or "No”
A college entrance examination con
sisting of only four questions, requir
iug as answers only “yes" or "no,”
ami assuring them to be a better test
of fitness for success at college than
"a ream of entrance certificates or a
hatful of Carnegie units," is the pro
posal received at the registrar's office
in the form of a bulletin from the
Washington and Lee University at
I ex ington, V irginia.
Henry Louis Smith, president of the
University, says in his bulletin, on
titled " Turned Loose on Main Street,”
that every year a hundred thousand
boys are suddenly "turned loose" on
the swarming Main Street of American
college life without any preparation
for the freedom that is abruptly of
feted them.
Ilis proposal for a remedy for the
numbers of wrecked college careers,
statistics showing that less than half
of the freshmen survive their sopho
more year, is the truthful answering
of these four questions by all aspirants.
Question 1: “ Arc you man enough
to get up promptly every morning, get
tit your meals and to school on time
every day, and go to bed at a fixed
hour every night, all of your own init
iative without a word of reminder from
anybodyf"
Question 2: “Are you man enough to
go off yourself every day and study
all \ our lessons till you know them,
without having any one tell you to get
to work*”
Question 3: "Are you man enough,
when another fellow‘s answer is in
easy reach to fait on an examination
rather than obtain unlawful aidf"

Mil MENTOR FOR
Financial Condition Said to be
Only Obstacle to Plan
The plan of having an all-year
freshman coach is gaining support
every 'lay, an<l at present has prac
tically every member of the athletic
staff backing it. This is decidedly a
new plan as in practically all colleges
tlie freshmen athletics are handled by
letter men in the different sports.
This has always been the custom at
Oregon, and so far has always worked
out with excellent results in the way
of having good teams. An argument in
favor of the all-year coach is that
such a man would have a great deal
more influence over the men under him
than three different men could witt).
each handling a different sport.
The sole obstacle remaining in the
way of having this plan put through is
the financing condition of the school,
according to Dean John Bovard, of the
school of physical education, who is
including an appropriation for such
an office in the next budget to be pre
sented this month, but it is uncertain
whether the money will be granted or
not.
Dean Bovard is solidly back of the
idea, saying that a man such as would
be secured for the position would be
something in the nature of an advisor
to the men under him besides coaching
the teams. “Such a man would have
a great deal of influence on the fresh
men both in sports and activities out
side of sports” he said, and added that
the first year men are prone to forget
their studies in their desire to make
the teams, and one duty of the all
year coach would be to see that the
men took the proper attitude toward
the rest of their college life besides
the sport side.
Bill Hayward was heartily in favor
of the plan, saying that a letter man
in three sports could be secured that
would bo a great help in freshman
sports. Such a man could follow his
athletes throughout the year and would
know the men that would stand the
best chance for varsity the next year,
thus helping out the varsity coaches a
great deal.
Football Coach Shy Huntington was
also in favor of the plan. A letter
man in several sports from Oregon who
is thoroughly acquainted with the ath
letic policies of the school, and who
could build his teams up so that the
men would be familiar with the var
sity methods would be very valuable
to the athletic department as a whole
he thought.
The present plan of having a gradu
ate in each sport coach the freshman
team in that sport has worked out very
well as far as the teams are concerned,
for the frosh teams have always made
a good record, but the coaches under
this system are interested in the men
only for the time, and cannot keep
track of their outside interests as an
all-year man could. The men would
no doubt work harder, and respect
more, a man who they knew was going
to coach them throughout the year than
a man who they knew was going to
have them for a term only.
The Kxecutive council is considering
taking up the matter if the school
of physical education acts favor
ably on it.
DR. WILLIAMS STUDIED
UNDER NOTED CHEMIST
Oregon Professor H:is High Regard
for Dr. Gerald Wendt, Who
Proved Scientific Theory
Dr. Gerald Wendt, professor of ehem
istrv at the University of Ghicago, who
is credited in press dispatches with
having succeeded in transforming one
element (tungsten) into another (heli
um), was for three years professor of
Mr. Williams while he was study
ing for his doctor's degree. Dr.
Williams took five courses at Ghicago
under Dr. Wendt, for whose abilities
he has the highest regard.
"Dr. Wendt’s discovery is a dis
tinctive thing," said Dr. Williams. "It
has been known, of course, for a num
ber of years, that elements do change
from oue to another: for instance,
helium conies out of radium, but it has
not been possible to hasten the process.
Dr. Wendt, however, has taken some
thing that does not change naturally
and has produced a reaction that or
dinarily is not obtainable. The iinmodi
ate practical value of the discovery,
Dr. Williams points out, is reduced by
the tremendous cost of the process, al
though it is of scientific interest. The
success of Dr. Wendt's experiments, he
says, gives no assurance of the trans
mutability of baser metals into gold,
although it is perhaps a step in that di
rection.

were flunked by the women. To the
freshman class goes the priie for re
Ceiving the greatest number of flunks.
The sophomore class comes after the
freshmen. The class of second year stu
dents averaged a total of 366 flunked
hours. The juniors contributed a total
of 22S flunks to the total, and the seniors
turned in their quota with 56 hours of
' failure.
"The University is not proud of the
i drastic dropping of students.’’ said
President Campbell in a speech made the
latter part of last term.
BISHOP SHEPARD SPEAKS
AT METHODIST VESPERS
Peace In Relation to Religion Subject
of Address; Musical Program is
Especially Good
“Peace,” with its relation to relig
ion in particular, was the subject of i
the address of William Orville Shep- I
ard, bishop of the Portland area of the
Methodist church, who spoke on Sun- : j
day afternoon to a large audience at the :
vesper service at the Methodist church.
Bishop Shepard brought out the point
that the reason for the violation of
gentlemen’s agreements,” made at the
numerous peace conferences, is that
the offenders cease to be gentlemen. “It
is the business of the church to make
gentlemen,” he said.
The organ selections of John Stark
Evans were unusually fine. The solo
work of Joanna James' and Bernice
Altstock in the anthem “Hark, Hark,
My Soul” by Shelley was especially
i appreciated by the audience. In “The
Prodigal Son” by Sullivan, Arthur I
Johnson displayed a great deal of feel
ing and was given an opportunity to
show the wide range of his tenor voice.
