As the California story relates, the Bear rooters did remain in their seats to cheer and sing after the game was over- Also, they cheered and sang well, and their enthusiastic loyal conduct did not go unnoticed by Oregon people. What about Oregon ? Courteous for the most part, although an occasional slip Jeeps in. For instance-m thjsrecemt rallies did we not hear a mighty invocation inviting the Bear to the hot place? Of course no one assumes that the Bears or ou - selves will go there because of the invita'teon, but such tactics are thought by many to be unsatisfactory means of fighting football games. Last year Oregon demonstrated she could play well the role of genial host by entertaining several hundred appreciative Washington students who journeyed south for the Homecoming game. This year when our visitors arrive in Eugene, the Uni versity will, as generous host, repeat last year’s hospitality and give 6. A. C. students the courteous reception due them as our guests and as representatives of a great Oregon college. A Bigger and Wetter Homecoming Rain Gobs of rain. Rain all around. Rain over the shoe tops and down the back of the neck. ' Sticky leaves. Rough cuffs. Blah— That’s all right—let it rain. Whoever heard of a dry Home coming at Oregon ? If the grads came back and found the pave ments dry they would believe they had stumbled into the wrong university. Homecoming rain is an Oregon tradition as much as the Senior bench—and who says we don’t love our traditions? No doubt about it—the grads come back for a wet Homecoming. As a matter of fact, a Homecoming without rain is not with in the memory of any present Oregon undergraduate. Prob ably history would reveal some one or two occasions when the rain did not come back with the grads, but the books with the history have been washed away in the floods. Frosh bonfires have been built and burned in the rain, rallies carried on, the “O’’ guarded, and football games fought in Homecoming rains for so long we should feel lonesome without the friendly mist Therefore, ye frosh that gather sticks in the mud, weep not over the weather, but rejoice. Your actions are according to Hoyle and Oregon traditions. CALIFORNIAN ON OUSTED ROOTERS ###■»*###### LAMENTS NORTHERN HOSPITALITY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG Oner again it has happened that the California rooters have got the short end of the deal. Last year, when the California Varsity eleven played Washington at Seattle, a Email handful of loyal supporters followed the team for a thousand miles lo cheer them on to victory and celebrate with them, their triumph. When this handful of rooters got to the northern city they found that the Washington management had been kind enough to reserve a section for them. But that section was at tho corner of the field on the one-yard line, and the rooters had their hands full to make themselves heard. Last Saturday, the Bruin Varsity played the LTnivcrsity of Oregon at Portland, and when the thirty ntn dents, who had beaten their way to watch the Bears trim the Lemon Yellow and Green, arrived at the field, they found this time that they hal no rooting section at all but had been scattered throughout the stand*. An indignation meeting was hold on the field and it was decided to scire an rnfyty section in the fast filling stands. When the Oregonian citizens who held those scats arrived and immediately complained to the management, the California rooters were asked to leave. The head usher informed those in chargo of the California section in no nice words that he did not care where the rooters went to, but they would have to clear out at once. The Bruin supporters sat tight j juicl if was not until a polio* officer informed them that ho had sent for the wagon and that they would all j go to the local Bastille if they did j not get out in three minutes, that ! the rooters decided it was time to move. Desperate in their attempt to stay together in order bo be heard, the students and alumni took an aisle which they filled halfway up the grandstand. The Portland fire chief told therm that they would have to 1 get out, as it was a great fire haz-! axd to have on aisle filled up. It j was not until a California’ alumni, j a resident of Portland, informed the ! chief that he held power in the city I and would make trouble if the root-1 ors were ousted from the aisle, that I the fire chief allowed them to stay. j And so the California rooters sat huddled together on the stairs and j cheered their team on to victory. Many said that the small handful of 50 students and alumni made as ranch noise as the whole Oregon sec tion in the good seats across the field. After the final gun, the Oregon section sang their hymn and left tho field without n cheer. The Califor nia eeetior stayed behind to cheer for the Oregon eleven and the vic torious Bears, and to sing “All Hail” as only fifty Californians in a hostile city can sing it. Why does California always get1 the short end of tho deal! " j It would seem that tho northern managers could take a few lessons1 in courtesy and fair play when they come to Berkeley as a visiting team. —Daily Californian. 7— * * * the seven seers * * * SHE WAS ONLY A COAL DEAL ER’S DAUGHTER, BUT LOOK WHERE SHE HAD BIN!

REVIEW OF THE PROFESSOR’S HOUSE’ Tho main thing: that strikes one in “The Professor’s House,” the ! much discussed new book by Willa Gather, is the poignant senso of people. Miss Gather has neither J Walpole’s nor Margaret Kennedy’s I ability to present a panorama of | characters, each a vivid personality i woven into a carpet of individual i ity. Neither has she D. H. Law jrence’s ability to present a miero ! scopic—and often physiological— I analysis of one or two persons. Yet she has adequately demonstrated in “The Professor's House” that she can picture those “human” qualities that differentiates the interesting person from the mediocre. The Professor, who receives the majority of the author’s attention and consequently overshadows the others, is a lovable, kind, sympa thetic scholar, harassed by the petty ambitions and quarrels of his family. In each of these persons—Lillian, the wife, Rosamond and Kathleen, the daughters, McGregor and Mar aellus, the sons-in-law, Tom Outland, tho phantom genius, Blake, the friend incarnate—Miss Gather adds a saccharine touch to the book by accentuating their good qualities. To be sure, there is bigotry, social recrimination, jealousy, ambition, glorification of wealth, selfishness; but Miss Gather, true to her roman ticism, will not allow the reader to gar.e too far beneath the surface. Rather would she have you quit the book with the smooth, sweet taste of ice cream in vour mouth. This and the clumsy interpreta- 1 tion of Tom Outland’s romantic and adventurous story into the story condemn “The Profossor’s House”' to mediocrity, I think. Can a book be mediocre and yet interesting? Those who will iay “no” will find in “The Professor’s House” the refutation of their posi I t*on- Miss Gather hag in part writ ten a fascinating story, but'she has forgotten1 that Marsellus is a loud ! spoken Phillistine; Lillian, hard and often selfish; Rosamond, a vulgar social “climber;” McGregory, a rival of Eddie Guest; Blake, a primi j.tive uncouth of the wilds; a penum brous Out!and, aside from his ex alted sense of righteousness, remains the most perfect probably because the author does not present him per sonally. Then alone remains the professor, whose part in the story is all too short, beginning with a vigorous creative life during which he pro duced a masterpiece and ending in the dreams of old age, those harv vistas when man gracefully slides into senescence. “He had never learned to live without delight. And he would, have to learn to, just as, in a prohi bition country, he supposed he would have to learn to live without sherry. 1 heoretically he knew that life is possible, may even be pleasant, with out joy, without passionate griefs. But it had never occurred to him that he might have to live like that.” Surely Miss Cather was wrong in that conclusion.—B. D. L.
