Day Editor—Alice Kraeft Night Editor—Paul Luy Assistants—Earl Baess Arthur Schoeni Oregon Fight Always One of the fine traditions of football at Oregon is “Oregon Fight.” More than mere physical willingness to do battle grimly and to the end is carried in that two worded arrangement of eleven let ters. It implies as well, a fine drawn moral courage, that enables sons and daughters of Old Oregon to see the dawn of each new day with high welled hope and unfaltering determination, no mat ter how serious the reverses of yester day Time was when Oregon Fight was more widely recognized than now. Not that it is less important now than it was a score of years ago but it is now a differ ent, a finer, a less obvious thing. Oregon Fight in Oregon’s football team couldn’t keep California from scoring touchdowns but it could and did keep the Varsity fighting on in a last gallant and forlorn hope for touchdowns and possible victory as the prized minutes winged on. Oregon Fight in the rooting sections couldn’t overcome the handicaps that California’s superior teamplay and gen eral brilliance offered but it could prompt a mighty Oskie whose dying echoes mingled with the final pistol crack, a manifestation of gallant sportsmanship that could not hut make every alumnus and friend proud of old Oregon. With the advance in football, that is bringing the college sport gradually to a basic of science, speed, accuracy and skill and the consequent relegation of mere brawn and a general physical apti tude to do indiscriminate, aimless battle into the limbo of lost things, Oregon Fight has cqme to mean a fineness of spirit, a certain relentlessness of flame tinged with daring, a grim nonchalance even in the face of certain defeat. It has come to mean more than a catchy, descriptive slogan. It is the courage of Oregon. Football games aren’t won now by fight, no matter how grim or how deter mined. But an integral and essential qualification for greatness on the gridiron is this suifle fight. Thus) will Oregon, with undimmed courage, face Stanford on Saturday. The speed and the skill of the Southrons may be too much for our hosts, yet they will be given battle. Whatever the outcome of the game at Palo Alto, Oregon Fight will carry the Varsity on until the north ern games when teams coached under similar conditions will be met. Against the big. slow, smashing teams of 0. A. C. and Washington, Oregon may well expect to be on even terms. Oregon Fight will carry them on through, through to a chance to at least sip at glory. ex ’23 The Seven Seers Still On Deck After a month of rather hectic exist ence the Seven Seers arc still with us. It is the firm conviction of the Seers that their column is being read if they may judge from the great number of messages of contempt that find their way to the ^cers ears. This is encouraging, say the Seers, because a column, in their opinion> is a success if read by a largo following, no matter whether in popular favor or public disfavor. Of course the Seers wish to please. At all times they are an xious to receive contributions, and opin ions concerning their merits. No Desire For Responsibility As yet no one has seen fit to take upon \ themselves the responsibility of launching a University of Oregon magazine. Every ; one is heartily in favor of the movement but not to the extent of instigating action. It looks as it the men and women’s writers fraternities, Sigma Upsilon and Pot and Quill will have to see the propo sition under way if any action is to be taken. Hammer and Coffin, publishing j society, might well take an active part i in seeing the magazine launched. The Book Nook A book causing consider comment at the present tim)e is “The Red Cord,” a Chinese story written by a man who, we are informed in an elaborate preface to the book, knows China like a cat knows catnip. Delving into the book, it did not disappoint us. The man does seem to know quite a lot, not only about the outside but also the inside customs of China. He deals very well with their sex problem. Of course, as a result, Mr. Springer’s volume is slightly morbid. No book dealing frankly with the question in the way which he does can help being so. But we found it very interesting reading from the beginning to the end so unlike the cheap novel of today With its east and west shall never meet theme. The book is in no way the popular type of sen sational bosh. The super-sophisticated looking for something like Percy Malyk’s “Martha” will be vastly disappointed. But there are many others who will derive real enjoyment from their perusal of the pages of this volumje, following the adventures of the little Chinese girl from the famine of rice through her being bartered and sold by her hungry father, hungry for food for his son who is dying from lack of food, to the triumphant end.

While teachers fight off starvation, and all but the mediocre are drawn irresistibly into commercial pursuits, over two billion dollars are poured into buildings and equipment.” So Frank Bohn sun*s up the question of low wages for college professors in the October number of Forum. Mr. Bohn opens a question which implies far more than a matter of $1,500 or $5,000. It is a question of the significance of democratic edu cation. If less money is to be spent on equip ment and buildings, fewer students will neces sarily bo admitted to our higher institutions of learning. Should universities be limited to the intellectually superior, or does the nation owe the very highest training possible to all its citi zens? Whatever the answer to that question may be, an intelligent modification of the expenses of university buildings is quite possible. Marble and gold are all very well, but they are only outward symbols of that inner worth which should be inherent in every institution of higher learning. No amount of outward show is com pensation for tho loss of ‘intellectual inspira tion occasioned by inferior instructors and those oppressed by starvation salaries. It is an undisputed fact that college instruc tors are going into other fields. It is a regret table fact. Some place in the educational sys tem economy is necessary. If buildings and equipment are limited to too great an extent, higher learning will become a possession of an even smaller percentage of American youth. However, if some of the money and care now concentrated on the paneled glass doors of a school building were concentrated on the quali fications and salary of the instructor who is to walk in and out of that door, higher education in the United States might be more success ful.

PETITION REJECTED _(News Item From the London Crimes) According to a red-hot declaration, the Am phibians, female plunging club, has refused point blank to consider the request of the Seven Seers, eminent order of campus mystics, to petition their organization. The Amphibians, so nan^ed because they attempt to imitate the finny tribe in face, figure and filosophy, have as their ideal the work of “elevating the swim ming'on the campus.” This is especially neces sary during winter quarter, when it is very wet, and also at Home Coming. Charlotte Winnard, president of the club, when asked her reason for the prompt refusal, stated, “Well, it just wouldn’t be good form." So you see the club is starting right out mak ing use of its code. * * « * Needless to say, we were somewhat taken back by the above attitude. What have we ever done to be treated so harshly by this band of dainty creatures? Evidently there are divers reasons, in spite of Miss Winnard’s curt speech. What s the matter with our form, we ask you? Perhaps we hurt the dears’ feelings when we black-balled Annette Kellerman from,' associate membership into our order. **************** * Oh well, there are other fish in the sea. * For instance, no one seems to be putting * * in requests for Delta Kappa Epsilon * *********** ***** You ask why such a strong order as the Seven beers should lower itself to petition another or ganization. Well, we thought we were doing right. . There seems to be rather a vogue for fraternities to do such things on this campus and far be it from us to be out of the swim. ’ * * * * L’il ditty entitled, “Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Sweeney’s Chowder?” The Webfeet lost their biggest mix, ’Tis sure a dirty shame; But even those who make the kicks Admit they played the gantfe. The bear has rambled back to Cal, His furry hide still whole. (We hope someone will steal his gal Or try to buy his soul.) A bear is too big for the ducks, They’ll try some smaller game; So with the Palo Alto buck, They ’re out to win some fame. We hope they beat the Stanford bunch, Our money’s on the duck, And if they don’t we’ll have a hunch They’ve had some awful luck. Now Stanford’s hide is getting thick, All ready for the takin’; So all right, Webs, go get ’em quick, And come home with the bacon. —E. McK. Speaking of the game, there were two men out on the field who had quite a number of things in common. First, they were of the same nationality, Spanish we suppose as their names ended in “6on”, furthermore they both were dazzling blonds, thirdly they both belong to the same class, fourth they are both mar ried, and have Ford coupes, and their wives are working, next they belong to the same fra ternity, and last they both play quarterback. It seems that the only thing that keeps them from being exact duplicates is that one played on the Cal team and the other on the Oregon. SPEAKING OF MARRIED MEN, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO POOR PERCY STOD DARD. There once was a verdant example Who came to class eating an apple. (What happened in heTe Is not known to your Seer),. But he now eats his meals from the mantle. P. S. This is free verse. Anyone is free to give vent. BJORK. * _25 Years Ago j OREGON WEEKLY Monday, November 12, 1900 There are so many improvements about school 'onspicuous for their absence that it seems al nost irony to send in a plea for another. How •ver, most of our improvements aeeause the building-up process takes money, >ut this plea adopts the tearing down-process, rhe college girls are very anxious to give the ootball boys their most hearty support for the ongest time possible each day. Undoubtedly ew realize how much time is lost when the ;irls must go two blocks out of their way, round by the dormitory walk, in order that hey may make a decent and graceful exit from he campus on the way to the gridiron. The ioys cut across the camjpus and jump the fence, ut this is forbidden fruit to the girls. They an simply view with hungry eyes and watering louth. But to vault the fence,—never! No, here must be some other solution, and there is nly one. Why not tear down the fence for the pace of a yard or two that the ladies may ?ave the yard gracefully by a short-cut and till preserve their time and dignity?

Here’s a new one that affects the growth of yeast. It Is called “bios,” and is a compound very closely related to vitamines. Bios has never been isolated, al though it is known to be present in mixtures, because of the in creased rapidity with which yeast multiplies when^ the compound is present, says Dr. R. J. 'Williams, of the chemistry department, who is working on the experiment. “The reason why we chose to try to isolate bios rather than one of the other vitamines,” «Dr. Williams said, “is because any of the others involve feeding experiments with animals, whereas with bios we can use the growth of yeast as the test. “The worst difficulty,” he con tinued, “is that the compound is present in such very small amounts. There may not be more than one ounce in a ton of yeast.” Some people in New York claim they have succeeded in isolating bios. Although their compound has some effect on the growth of yeast, the results are very small compared to those which should be obtained John L. Wilson, who has a re search fellowship with . Dr. Wil liams in the chemistry department is assisting in the work of conduct ing the experiment. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of Jamestown Uni versity, at Jamestown, North Da kota, and he also has received his M. A. from the University of Mich igan.
