Looks Feasible—Sounds Good
ASA STONE tossed into the stream stirs the placid surface,
so it is hoped, will the ideas presented here today break
forth into many ripples the tranquil lake of indifference to
intra-mural sports.
Pray that others, may throw stones, and cause more ripples,
and from the disturbance and the intermingling of opinions
may a program evolve which will once more malje Hayward hall
ring with the shouts of brethren urging brethren, the cries of
friendly conflict, or the swelling cheer as the ball streaks far
afield from the home-run bat.
The program outlined here is the distillation of opinions,;
ideas, prejudices, judgments, beliefs, views and notions from
many persons. Without argument, the preponderance of ex
pression is strong for some type of inter-house athletics, but
one which must avoid the strain of a multiplicity of sports. Ten
or twelve different forms a year are too many for the smaller
organizations.
First, then, let us have basketball in the fall term, baseball
in the spring, and an elective of two minor sports in the winter,
as swimming, handball, wrestling or boxing. Second, let us
prohibit all numeral men, as well as the Varsity players. Last,
let there be no material reward for the victor, but consider the
trophy a joy found in playing—good playing.
Already, there are two house groups which have arranged
for a basketball contest this fall. No trophy is held aloft. The
incentive, a strange one to be discovered in the United States
nowdays, perhaps, is—sport.
deduction to four events per house a year should not prove
too strenuous for any organization and will place all on. as
equal a basis as could be desired. This would be further en
hanced by confining the men participating to non-varsity and
non-numeral players without exception. The elimination of re
ward such ns a plaque, cup, or other symbolic object, should
remove any dangers of bad feeling from arising.
The plan looks feasible—and it sounds good.

APOLOGIES TO THE CO-ED
October rains and the hello tru
dition arc evoking conflicting be
haviorisms these days. It seems
quite evident that out long belated
visitor, Jupiter I’lurius, so chooses
to bestow his gift of blessing upon
agriculturist at the most inoppor
tune time for the Oregon student.
He has a faculty for' tipping the
proverbial rain bucket moro highly
at each period of time between
classes.
Now, the point of contention of!
the masculine student, especially
those privileged to wear such cover- |
ings as thev deem necessary for the
Is’ *
| cerebral region, are bemoaning the
| fact that our highly esteemed and
| democratic co ed appears to delight
I in saluting with the customary
| "hello” more than ever. They pass
in hordes along the familiar path
and none lose the opportunity of
speaking. We men pride ourselves
in being gentlemen,—but, oh,—isn't
this pushing things a bit farf
We beg of you to forgive any
abstinence in removing our one-man
I tops, for the rain is cold,—cold. ;
I cold; and WET.
Hank.

.* * He Would Emulate the Colonel * * j
To Colonel John Leader.
Dear Colonel:
You’ve made your reputation and
I’m trying; to make mine, *0 I
think we ought to get acquainted,
Colonel.
I’m just a colorless freshman,
Colonel, but a once and a while I
get a few ideas I like to sound off
about. Its funny, too, Colonel, how
willing everyone is to receive sug
gestions. I write to them and tell
them things occasionally that they
are too busy to notice.
I’m really not at all obtrusive or
presumptious and its that draw
back that makes me use the medi
am of the press, as the journalists
say.
I guess I have that inferiority
complex that these near-bohemians
on the campus talk about. Beside 1
that I stutter, Colonel, and I don’t
like to talk to people with an im
pediment like that, so I write my
letters and have them - printed in
Don Woodward’s paper.
Well Colonel, I don’t like to talk
about myself too much so I’ll sign I
off wishing you have a big toot
this week end aricl a happy home
coming.
Don’t forget the big *toot this
week end.

Architects
“Designing in Masses ”
THE new architecture transcends detail and expresses
the component solids of the great buildings of today
and tomorrow. Gigantic profiles are reared against the
sky—true expression of structural facts has now come
into its own in architectural design, linking architect and
engineer ever more closely together.
Certainly modern invention —modern engineering skill
and organization, will prove more than equal to the
demands of the architecture of the future.
