Looking Forward To A
Prosperous Athletic Future
Within the next few hours Oregon’s new head coach, Cap
tain John J. McEwan, will have been accorded a generous and
SfanSrie reception by the University ^graduatesersa
ehoice of Captain McEwan has been heralded with umve
Acclaim; and the arrival of the new mentor will provide a wel
SL opportunity to express confidence and pleasure at the
■election of tfciu man who is to guide Oregon s football d
anies for the next five years. _ . __ prn 4n
Prom all indications Oregon is now entering a "ew era
her football career. Captain McEwan s entry into the 0 g
nrocession of coaches marks what everyone hopes will be the
end of a disastrous series of athletic reverses. The pendulum
been swinging farther and farther away from good fortune
years, until this year, with five defeats and no
Stories, Oregon touched the low water mark of athletic suc
Touched the low water mark; that is, judging from the
Bcore board. But who can say the outlook at the present time
is anything but encouraging? Captain McEwan has everything
In his favor for a successful regime.
First of all, the new coach comes to a University which has
for its undergraduate body a group of students who are con
sistently and splendidly loyal to all that concerns the University.
They a?e good winners and good losers. Even after a discour
aging seafon one looked in vain for the wet blanket attitude
that so often comes with unsuccessful teams. So we say, proudly,
Captain McEwan will find students that will respond to his
every suggestion.
In matters of administration the new coach will have every
thing his own way. Through grievious experience in the past it
has been agreed among all parties that McEwan is to pick his
own assistants, coach football all the year, and have complete
charge of his program without interference. Surely this is no
small contribution to future gridiron success.
Oregon’s new mentor will find a splendid tradition upon
which to build liis victories. Just preceding the recent athletic
slump Oregon was in the habit of feasting regularly on vic
tories; and that appetite, while unsatiated in recent times, has
not lessened through lack of satisfaction. Oregon knows how
to be a good loser, but she also wants to be a good v'inner.
Then there is another point which Captain McEwan will
appreciate. Oregon plays square. If one wishes to find
“ringers,” financial or scholastic, lie will have to look else
where than the University of Oregon. Oregon prides herself
in the fairness of her tactics.
Of course all is not roses, particularly when intercollegiate
football, in a larger sense, is considered. In the East, particu
larly, attempts are being made to curtail the bigness of football,
where it is maintained that the game is growing beyond all
sensible proportions. Professionalism, in the minds of many,
is stalking in with threatening glances. And besides this there
is the ever insistent demand that intercollegiate football give
way, at least in part, to intra-mural and inter-class football.
All these questions will be recurring with renewed frequency
“in the near future and -it will fall to -Captain McEwan to take
liis part in the solution of these aspects of the game.
The Emerald is confident that the new mentor will recog
nize the situation, probably better than anyone at the Univer
sity. Also that he will work unceasingly, not only for Oregon
successes, but for the good of all football and all athletics.
Best of fortune to you, Captain McEwan.
Professor and Editors Extend
Mutual New Year’s Greetings
A controversy of no mean proportions has been waged dur
ing the recent week in which Professor Glenn E. Hoover of the
University, The Oregonian and The Guard were the principal
participants. Now that the fracas is over the Emerald feels
obligated to enter the argument long enough to announce the
winner.
The task of selecting the victor has not been difficult. As
near as can be ascertained the Oregonian started the affair by
publishing an editorial which savored, in the mind of Professor
Hoover, of 1 hat dish commonly known as ‘support home in
dustry, and keep as much money as possible in circulation at
home.” 'I'llis outburst, it appears, offended the sensibilities of
Mr. Hoover to such an extent that he Sent a token of his wrath
to the Oregonian in the shape of a communication, which was,
it is said, encased in a fire proof envelope. The Oregonian pub
lished the token on Wednesday last, and added a few appro
priate remarks, which also, it is said, were conveyed to the lino
types from the editorial rooms in non-inflammable cartons. But
that was not all. The Eugene Guard entered the fray, solidly
aligned with the Oregonian; and again last night the Guard and
Mr. lloovcr paid their mutual respects.
As to the victor (for no good fight must end in a draw)
tlie Emerald feds ihere is no question. The Oregonian, it is

pointed out, “indicates either a gross ignorance of economics
or a degree of heterodoxy in the science which is astounding,
and is therefore automatically eliminated. And since Professor
Hoover has been making his points “only by the addition of
dishonest inferences,” we must send him along with the other
three who cheated at examinations. The Guard displays a woe
ful lack of preparation in economic problems by naively inquir
ing, “Is the University all out of muzziest”
Therefore, in light of the overwhelming evidence, The Emer
ald announces that the winners of the affair are those paper
and ink manufacturers who supply paper and ink to Oregon
newspapers and writing materials to Oregon professors; tor
great is their profit at wasted paper and ink.
Oregon Regrets
Passing of Andy Smith
In the midst of her reception to Captain McEwan, Oregon
will pause to express sincere regret at the unfortunate and un
timely death of Andrew Smith, head coach at California. The
California coach has proven his worth as a coach of the first
order and was admired and respected by thousands of Califor
nia people. To the friends of Coach Smith, Oregon extends
deepest sympathy.___

FASHION NOTE
According to Jack Jones, the

will be worn on one foot only this
spring. Perhaps, Jack, wishing to
go the garterless collegians one bet

things altogether. Or maybe, on
the other hand, Jack, who started

EIGHT CONCEHTS TO BE
GIVEN IN WINTER TERM
j
Recitals by Well Known
Artists Scheduled
Eight concerts, including recitals
by some of the world’s greatest ar
tists, will feature the music pro
gram for the coming term. The
Sunday vespers, which were so
popular during the past term, will
be continued in the school of music
auditorium.
Miseha Levitski, Polish pianist
of world wide fame, will open the
season January 14, in the school of
music auditorium, under the au
spices of the school of music. Prob
ably no other musical event of the
year is being looked forward to
with more eagerness than the Le
vitski program. It is of note that
the great musician will play a com
position of George Hopkins, a grad
uate and now assistant professor
in the University.
On January 18, M» Phi Epsilon
will present George Hopkins and
John Siefert in the thircf of their
series of faculty concerts. Paul
Kochanski, probably one of the
greatest touring violinists, will ap
pear January 27 on the A. 8. U. O.
concert series.
On February 2, the University
orchestra will give their annual con
cert in the Woman’s building under
the direction of Rex Underwood.
This year’s organization is com
posed of thirty pieces and from all
indications is one of the best or
chestras the University has ever
had. February 25, the""combined
Glee Clubs will give their concert
in the Woman’s building. This will
be the second tombined concert of
the two clubs, and inasmuch as last
year’s concert met with such wide
spread approval the event will be
repeated. John Stark Evans, direc
tor, is planning an especially pleas
ing program for this concert.
Laura Tesehner, cellist, will be
presented by Mu Phi Epsilon on
March 2, in the school of music
auditorium. Miss Tesfcl^ner: is a
member of the faculty and has ap
peared before the student body
many times with pleasing success.
The last concert of the term will
be Ignace Friedman, pianist, who
appears on the A. S. U. O. series,
Friedman has won laurels in foreign
countries during the past few years,
and is an outstanding artist. His
concert will be given at the Meth
odist Church.
EARLY CLASSES ARE
LIKED BY STUDENTS
Students of the University favor
nine o’clock classes, according to
figures given out by Mrs. Clara L.
Pitch, administrative secretary.
Only one large room and several
small ones, out of the 50 class jrooms
on the campus, are not used at that
hour. All of the classes at nine
o’clock aTe large, and a number of
them are too large for their class
rooms.
Eight o’clock is also a popular
hour. Most of the major studies
are given at eight and nine o’clock.
Laboratory work, gymnasium, mil
itarv, and the fact that a number
of students do not like afternoon
work account for the large number
of rooms available at that time.
Three or four class rooms are
empty at the ten and eleven o’clock
hours. At one and two o’clock
there are more empty than at any
other time during the day.
Assistants are relieving the pro
fessors in some of the crowded de
partments. Some of the classes are
being arranged at different hours
and with different instructors.
In a number of cases classes that
were two hours last term have
changed to three or more hours,
principally in the mjajor depart^
ment work.
