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.

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.

FINAL RIFLE MATCHES
TO BEHELD NEXT WEEK
Twelve Women’s Organizations and
Six Men’s to Compete in
Shooting Contest
“Twelve women’s organizations
are expected to be in trim for the
do-nut rifle matches, the finals of
which will take place next week,”
said Captain J. 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.

sides and men were knocked to the

was much closer than the score
would indicate, for the Fijis were
unable to break through the close
guarding of their opponents. Time

sers worked the ball under the

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.

years that Oregon has won the c.ham
pionsliip in the state triangular con
test. 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.

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. In almost
