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.

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.

INSTRUCTION AND STARVATION
“Education, like everything else in America,
has become a victim of our worship of mere
size. 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. Frank Bohn has given American citizens
food for thought.—The Daily Kansan.

SEVEN SEERS
Seers Petition Denied
NO MATTER HOW DARK THE NIGHT,
SHE’S STILL YOUR MOTHER.
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.

CHEMISTS SEEK BIOS,
‘KIN’ TO VITHINES
Dr. Williams and Assistant
Conduct Experiment
We’s always hearing about those
mysterious things — vitamines.
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.

in the whole education -system.” Prof. G. M. Whipple, \J. of Michigan.
"The successful men in college do not seem to be very happy. Most of
them, especially the athletes, are overworked.” Prof. H. S. Canby, Yale.
"Misdirected labor, though honest a$d well intentioned, may lead to naught.
Among the rtlost important things foir the student to learn is how to study.
Without knowledge of this, his labor may be largely in vain.” Prof. G. F.
Swain, M.I.T.
"To students who have never learnt ‘How to Study,' work is very often
a chastisement, a flagellation, and an insuperable obstacle to contentment.”
