A Matter of Courtesy
To Our Guests
Homecoming will bring Oregon ««***,£«
combat with another university with mrij^"'""'^nlike
“ntef«lp?r.heyfo™,‘l£ "be effects of a single inadver
tance may be far reaching.
sight may be the cause of feelings none too fnen y.
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.

LIVING WITHOUT SHERRY—BY R. D. L.
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.
