After Six Years
L. *3
So Shy Huntington has resigned! Well, it was not unex
pected and to the readers of the announcement in today’s
Emerald it will not come as a great surprise. After all it seems
to have been the clean and sportsmanlike thing to do. The
signs were that if Shy did not resign, an influential section of
the alumni would rise in arms and once more precipitate Ore
gon’s intercollegiate athletics into general confusion. Thus,
Shy’s last act: that of resigning: is consistent with his clean
and sportsmanlike pursuit of athletics throughout his six years
as coach.
The Emerald, now that all is over, does not contemplate go
ing into an editorial discussion of the rights and wrongs of the
Huntington case. Truth, as in all things, is here mixed too.
But the Emerald does want to ask one question, to the end
that those who will may give it some thought. It wants to ask
alumni critics whether it is entirely moral that a man s lame as
a coach and his security in his job, should depend solely on
victory ?
Here is Huntington who, as has been stated, is a clean and
Sportsmanlike coach. As he himself states in his letter to 1 resi
dent Campbell, lie has not hired or subsidized players. Nor
has he been a maker of alibis. Nor has he been loud and profane
and brawling. Nor has he been an undue loser of games since
1918, his first year at Oregon. Nor has he demanded or re
ceived an excessive salary.
Yet at the end of six years of service he sees the handwriting
on the wall and resigns. So once more the question is in a new
form, this time not addressed to alumni especially, but to all
who run and read: Is intercollegiate football on the soundest
ethical basis when a man, here or elsewhere, has to resign be
cause he fails to win certain games, even though he has played
the game squarely and has not been without a certain compe
tence as a coach ?
Upon what basis is intercollegiate football to be appraised?
Sink the Signboads
For months our campus lias been free from the signboard
evil, which is spoiling a great many ol our national beauty spots
and which, unrestricted, would soon turn our pine-covered and
well-kept campus into an unsightly mass of obnoxious adver
tisements. Recently there has been some tendency to place
small boards around the principal student centers. As yet they
have not become numerous, but the tradition ot a sign-liee
campus is being broken.
From the minutes of the student council, December 13, 1922,
we read: “A communication was read from Mr. Onthank re
garding sign boards on the campus. It was moved and seconded
that the student council recommend to the administration that
the signboards on the campus be abolished and it was further
recommended that each building be provided with boards for
announcements, (tarried.
Most buildings have bulletin boards; the Emerald provides
an announcement service and an advertising medium. Stu
dents who are interested should make use of them.
We hope those in charge of the University grounds will take
steps to remove any sign boards which may appear on the
campus.

AFTER THE BATTLE
Oregon’s great annual athletic
event is past. The Orange and
Black and tho Lemon-Yellow have
| once more tried conclusions. While
reminiscently reviewing Saturday’s
struggle, partisans of the two teams
are already laying plans for next
year.
The epic battle of the year in
Oregon is over. The supporters of
the agricultural college are jubilant.
Those of the University are glum.
Corvallis is gala. Eugene is sul
len. Tho better team won.
Interest in tho game was keen in
Astoria.. It was a tense crowd in
Thiel’s restaurant Saturday after
noon which heard the plays come
clicking over the wire. There were
yelps for Oregon, yelps for O. A. C.
In the lulls between the announcing
of the returns tho talk of the fans
and alumni of the two institutions
turned more to one subject than any
other, and it was a subject only
indirectly related to the game be
ing played.
This one subject has been a com
mon one among followers of foot
ball in Oregon this year.
“There is little glory in it for
whichever team wins the game to
day. Neither team has much to be
proud of in this season’s record.
New hands should Vie at the foot
ball helm in each school.” This was
the burden of the talk among many.
A few days ago an Astorian, an
alumnus of Stanford ujnivefjsity,
said: “Both Oregon and O. A. C.
j need new coaches. The state of Orc
! gon deserves a better position in the
athletics of the west than it has
had for years. Not since the days
of Iltigo Bezdek has the state of Ore
gon had a really great team. The
Oregon, eloven which held Harvard
7 to 6 was in reality tho remnant of
the Great Team which beat Pen
nsylvania. The University and
O. A. C. should each spend the money
necessary to get good coaches who
can turn out champions. It will be
no added expense for the box office
i power of a great team will more
j than make up the 'amount ?pent for
a coach.”
That opinion was iruiu a man
was looking at Oregon football as a
j citizen of Oregon aiul in no way
as mi alumnus of either school. Had
his college loyalty been stronger
than his wish for the good of his
| state he undoubtedly would have
preferred both Oregon and O. A. C.
I to carry on under their present
coaches.
It is undeniable that good coaches
are a primary requisite for winning
football teams. It is likewise incap
able of denial that winning football
teams in state institutions of higher
learning are valuable assets to a
state from the point of view of
publicity and advertising.
Athletically, the University of
Washington meant the west during
the victorious regime of Gil Dobie.
Though his methods may .at times
have been reprehensible, Dobie was,
and is, a great coach. When Wash
ington lost tier Scotchman hei
athletic glory faded. After hu
miliating years she has apparently
once again found a good man, who
this year builded well, after eonsum
ing two seasons in retrieving his
college from the disorder which fol
lowed Dobie s passing.
When Hez.dek came back to Ore
gon he diil not create a champion
over night. For two years he had
fair teams; the next year he had a
good team; the fourth year he had
the Oreat Team, certainly the great
est which ever played on the Paci
fic coast. The war canto and broke
the spell, for Hez.dek would have
had his great combination intact for
another season.
Though comparisons of teams
which never meet are odious, it is
strongly indicated that Oregon s
Great Team of 1910 was in reality
more wonderful than California Y.
Wonder Team of more recent years.
California has been the great
western football seintillant since
Bezdek's day. But it must be re
• euibered that Andy Smith, groat
coach that he is, was shamfully
whipped and beaten by nearly every |
team oil the coast "for seven! years
after he sought to bring the (Jolc-.i
B" r bark to American footpad.
To the fans over the United States
today football on the Pacific eoast
means football at the University of
California. Once it meant football
at , Washington. Once it meant
football at Oregon.
The University of Oregon once
before tried out the graduate coach
system. Pinkham’s hopeless defeats
paved the way for the hiring of
Hugo, the championmaker.
Rutherford has had a fair trial
at O. A. C. and, though he won from
Oregon this year, it seems certain
that his 1923 team is weaker than
O. A. C. has had in many autumns.
So the time seems ripe in the
minds of the alumni and the fans
at large for new coaching regimes
at the state institutions. Bezdek
may not be available; Sam Dolan
is too bitter to go back to Corvallis,
but somewhere there are moulders
of elevens who can give back to
the state of Oregon the gridiron
glory to which it is accustomed.—
Astoria Budget.

J. C. Oliver, general Y. M. C. A.

j just a few members and an old
! frame dwelling for its quarters.
When he left, the organization was
I housed in a fine new concrete build
j ing and had a membership of 3,100.
He is particularly interested in the
j new student movement of China
which is forming the basis of a na
tional progressive party and says
that the students are bringing about
great reforms, going so far as to
compel high state officials to resign
from office. Mr. Oliver is devoting
his furlough to a speaking tour
around the country on certain phases
of the student movement.
