WALKING COURSE TO BE GIVEN AT NORTHWESTERN Northwestern University—A three hour a week course to teach North western University students how to walk is to be added to the curri culum, according to Professor Leon Kranz, of the physical education department of Northwestern. Pro fessor Kranz said he had found that 40 per cent of the students showed lack of knowledge about proper dis p tribution of the weight of the body while walking and as a result suf fered from fallen arches and other foot defects. <>— — ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ Soprano to Appear ! in Concert Tonight O ANNA CASE DR. SHELDON EXPLAINS PURPOSE OF DOCTRINE Group Gathers to Observe 100th Anniversary “Live and let live” might be said to be the essence of the document which James Monroe, fifth presi- ) dent of the United States, issued when European nations were at tempting to regain control of the American republics, said Ur. Henry! D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, in an address before the student body yesterday. The oc casion was the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the estab lishment of the Monroe Doctrine. “It has succeeded in doing what it started out toi do, for it has pro tected the states of America in their independence and given them, for a hundred years, the opportunity to grow and develop freely,” said Dean Sheldon. “It behooves us to watch carefully any spasmodic attempts to destroy our record or to endanger this great policy to live and let live, and it is by this policy that world peace may be brought about.” The real test of the Monroe Doc trine came in 1860, when there was an attempt to establish French rule in Mexico under Archduke Maximil ian. The American government an nounced its intention of adhering to the policy against foreign con quest in the American continents, and the French troops were with drawn from Mexico. Preceding the address, Paul Pat terson announced the first varsity debate between Oregon and 0. A. C. to be held this year. Oregon foot ball team went down to defeat against O. A. C. last Saturday, and in celebration of the event, the whole town of Corvallis, young and old alike, turned out to celebrate, said Mr. Patterson in effect. Announcement was also made by Jeanne Gay, of the annual Christ mas college1, baSU,' given, by Wo men ’s league, which will take place in the Multnomah hotel in Port land during the holidays. The- University orchestra pre sented two selections entitled “Polonaise from Mignon,” by Thomas, and “Mock Miorris,” by Percy Grainger. “Had a Good Time; Glad to Be Home ” Says Dean Allen Aii anxious reporter with a fat Boll of paper and a substantial looking pencil, and Colonel Leader with his pipe and stick, sat in Dean Allen’s office and waited. Th<> re porter was planning to interview the dean, and the Colonel was mere ly going to “slap him on the back,” and ask him' what he thought of London. When th > dean came in the door the Colonel not only slapped him on the back, but shook him violent ly, swore at him affectionately, and pushing him into the chair behind his desk proceeded to interrogate him. The reporter who was going to ask him how it seemed to be back and how the Emerald compared to leading continental dailies, was re duced to speechlessness, listening to their flurry of words: “And did you meet the Honor able Mrs. Pleydell-Bouverie? And did you remember her title?” “Yes, and she introduced me as the “Very Reverend Dean Allen.” j “Hope you didn’t wear any ready tied ties. The president of the republic couldn’t get away with that.” “Never saw a place where they eared less about what they wore or what people thought. And isn’t London a comfortable place to live —just as comfortable as an old shoe.” “ Can’t see why you spent so much of your time in Italy. Spent some time with the Dagoes myself wondering if I couldn't clean their streets with machine guns.” At this point a student came in to shake hands and asked, “How does it seem to be back?” “Fine,” said the dean, and his face quite shone. “But I had a great time, though.” The reported siged happily, rose and left. After all, that’s what she had come to ask. TWO ALL COAST ELEVENS PICKED Mythical First and Second Teams Named Locally by Emerald Sports Staff CHAPMAN ALONE PLACES Players From Washington, California and Stanford Make up Aggregations O FIRST ALL COAST TEAM Ends: Mell, Cal.; Lawson, Stanford. Tackles: Beam, Cal.; Ludeke, Stanford. Guards: Faville, Stan.; Bryan, Washington. Center: Horrell, California. Quarter: Chapman, Oregon. Halves: Nichols, Cal.; Wil son, Washington. Full: Nevers, Stanford. By the Sports Staff Now that the moleskins of the coast gridsters have been, turned in and California has romped her way to a fourth consecutive cham pionship of the far west, there re mains but one last rite to perform in the burial of King Football for the year. There is always a great deal of conjecture on the part of sport critics as to who are the best in dividual players in the section which concerns them most. This always culminates in the picking of an all-sometliing-or-other team and since the sport scribes of the Em erald have been fortunate enough to see most of the coast teams in action, they have seen fit to flip their editorial sombrero into tflie circle and make a selection for the mythical All-Coast eleven. Since California, Washington and Stanford were the outstanding figures in the coast race this fall, it is no more than natural that a large percentage of the material for the honorary squad should come from these three teams. According to the final selection by the staff, California and Stanford would each place four men on the eleven, Wash ington would rate two and Oregon one. Mell is End The wing men are perhaps the easiest of the lot to choose and the staff was unanimous in its choice of Mell, of California, and Lawson, of Stanford, as the ends of the mythical team. The tackles pre sented more of a difficulty as there was a wealth of material for these positions on the coast this fall. iStew Beam, of California, was perhaps the outstanding figure of the season, but for the other tackle there seems little to choose between Ludeke, of Stanford, and Ed Kuhn, of Washington. Since a choice of one is necessary, the shade falls to ward the Stanford man. Norman Anderson, the U. S. C.

T. Murray, in structor in charge of gallery prac tice, at the B. O. T. C. headquarters yesterday afternoon. Since the rain has set in and the approaching final matches are getting closer, the girls are showing increased interest in practice. “They are coming right along,” is the way Captain Murray puts it. About six men ’g organizations will take part in the matches, and Cap tain Murray insists that the lists of eligible shooters must be in the office by Saturday morning. Challenges for inter-collegiate matches during the spring months are still being received and others are being sent out by the local authorities. Few dates have as yet been definitely arranged, so a schedule will not he completed until after the beginning of next term. Women’s Place in Press Work Is Topic of Talk Mrs. Ernst Speaks to Theta Sig Girls “Petticoats Around the Press Table,” was the subject which Mrs. Rudolph Ernst, wife of Pro fessor Ernst, of the English de partment, discussed before the members of Theta Sigma Phi, and tl^eir guests at an open meet ing held last night in the Y. W. bungalow. Mrs. Ernst, who is herself labor and political correspondent of the New York Evening Post, gave a short review of the position which woman holds in the newspaper office of today, pointing out that although women have not taken men’s places entirely in the newspaper world, they have made a place of their own, which is be ing rapidly recognized. Mrs. Ernst has had a great many stories published since she “wrote her first novel at the age of ten.” “Our butcher had once held the hat of the Prince of Wales, and I considered that I had a wealth of material for an English novel.” She has held her present position since she gradu ated from the University of Washington where she was a mem ber of Tlieta Sigma Phi. FOUR STUDENTS HAVE ROLES IN SONG CYCLE Cadman’s Work Has Initial Performance Tuesday Charles Wakefield Cadman’s Song Cycle for four solo voices will re ceive its initial performance on the campus Tuesday evening, December 11, at eight o ’clock in Alumni liall.

They are all well known on the campus, with the ex ception of Mr. Dart, a newcomer, who is the possessor of a mellow baritone voice, which lends itself well to those of the other singers. Owing to the limited seating capo c'ty of Alumni hall, the admission is by invitation.

The game was fea tured by rougli playing on both sides and men were knocked to the floor scores of times. The game was much closer than the score would indicate, for the Fijis were unable to break through the close guarding of their opponents. Time after time the Friendly hall toB sers worked the ball under the basket and missed easy shots. It was a fast, rough and tumble con test from beginning to end, with the Phi Gamma’s scoring a lucky series of shots in the last part of the game. Starting out in the lead it looked as if the Fijis would have a walkaway, but when the losers got into action they almost tied the score and gave the winners a close race for the game.

In 1921 the University nega tive team, composed of Boyd Isem inger and Claude Robinson won from Reed college, and Paul Patterson and Charles Lamb defeated the O. A. C. negative team. Last year Reed dropped out of tho triangular contest and a dual debate between the University and O. A. C. was hold in its place. Argument Given The Oregon affirmative team won a two to one decision from the O. A. C. negative team in Villard hall last night in the Eugene corner of the state triangular contest. The Oregon team, composed of Joe Fraz er and Ralph Bailey, centered its argument around the increasing ef ficiency of the Soviet government in dealing witli Russian government al affairs, and declared that recog nition would help the Bolsheviki get on their feet and continue the pro gram of encouragement of capital which they have recently adopted. The affirmative declared that Russia is at the present time carry ing on an effective program for public education, that 5,000,000 per sons in Russia have been given edu cations, and that the illiteracy of tho Russian army has been decreased from 85 to 15 per cent. Debts Mentioned The effectiveness of this educa tional program was denied by the negative which declared that the Russian school system had, de preciated under the Soviet regime until it was scarcely one-fifth as ef fective as it had been under the old rule. It was contended that the Soviet government was largely responsible for the distress in Rus sia and that it was not entitled to recognition on the basis of its record during the past five years. Blair Stewart and Robert M. Kerr were the members of the negative team. “Russia,” said Robert M. Kerr, tho second negative speaker, “still (Continued on page four) Organization of Museum for University Advocated By Col. John Leader In February, 1918, a standard for the University battalions was made by fifty of our girls. It was duly presented, consecrated by the bishop, and saluted by the governor. Under that flag we not only gained the reputation of being the best private officers’ training camp in the United States, but we also became an of ficers’ training camp for the seven western states, and the military cen ter and administrative headquarters of an army of nearly fifteen thou sand minute men of Oregon. The student body considerably more than doubled its number in that 18 months, and the University of Ore gon was placed on the map. A montn ago 1 found that standard forgotten and tucked away in a drawer. Being myself a pacifist, I do not refer to this fact as a de plorable manifestation of anti militarism. Colonel Sinclair, who is gallantly struggling to revive the military spirit here, could, no doubt givo forceful testimony as to the pacifist potentiality of an incompet ent soldier, but I do bitterly refer to the forgetting of the standard as a concrete instance of a unique and deplorable defect in our Uni versity. I have an extensive acquaintance with universities all over the seven seas, and I know of no university except our own, even in Asia and Africa, which takes no interest in its historical traditions.
