AS IN water face answereth to face, So answereth the heart of man to man.—Proverbs. For the State Championship ELEVEN, determined sons of Ore gon will fare forth on the -■squishy-squoshy morass that consti tutes Bell field of Corvallis today, and try to do what eighteen pre vious Oregon teams have done— emerge victorious. The Oregon team will fight to the last ditch this after noon as Oregon teams always do, and leave no pebble unturned in its uphill struggle toward the long end of the score. Whichever way the tide of battle goes, a great and instructive game is certain. The heavy rains have raised havoc with the field, but the line work will be as savage as ever, and the spirit will be as high. Per haps little Whippet Ord will not gallop around the big boys from O. A. C., but Lynn Jones will lower his head and charge through them. Today’s fray will mark the end of three year’s competition for seven of the Oregon band, and all are determined that their last game shall be their greatest. Bert Kerns, the scrappy fireman; Captain A1 Sinclair, the cool and collected tackle; George Mimnaugh, the game and gritty quarterback; Otto Vitus, the halfback with the happy dis position; Sherman Smith, the serious and vicious-tackling wingman; Carl Johnson, the light and bfainy cen ter; and Lynn Jones, as great a lino plunger as Oregon has ever known— there are the names which will be history tonight. It’s worth going to Corvallis to see these men play'. Hundreds of students will journey to Aggieville today, and hundreds will watch the gridgraph. The game will mark the last bow of the 1926 Oregon football team, a good team composed of scrappers, and confident that it is bearing the star of des tiny, that it is the harbinger of coast champions to come.—H. W. M. Stanford in Defense Of Stanford Judging students from the ap pearance of campus buildings seems to have been the method applied by a magazine writer in discussing Stanford university. Having al ways admired the standards of the southern institution, we hereby per mit its daily editor to fill our edi torial column and incidentally de nounce the new ‘‘impressionism”: “Spiritually the University seems as stairless as it is ma terially. It is close to the ground of fact.” Such is the brief state ment of George Marvin’s opin ion of Stanford student aspira tions as he expresses it in an ar ticle called “Stairless Stan ford” appearing in the Novem- : her issue of The Outlook. He describes Stanford’s archi Commun ications wnuiMfo. ti Drives and More Drives For the past eight years, even for the past ten years, every organiza tion in the country, from the street cleaners union to the United States government, has held some sort of a drive for money. They are all: drive crazy. Their object is to get money from the people with the least possible service. I do not mean to say that this is the object of all drives. Some organizations have given a great service to the country profit to the directors of the body. tecture as unaspiring, saying “its growth is lateral in one di mension, reaching out, hovering, brooding. There is nothing high about it anywhere.” Likening Stanford’s physical plant with her spiritual outlook, Marvin de velops his theory that Stanford is lacking in faith and aspirations, saying, “The buildings squat on the Palo Alto farm and the per sonnel sits on the nest, thus made, hatching education. Marvin forgets himself when he says “Stanford professes to value quality before quantity. It pretends to regret its steadily crowing attendance and resents the impersonality of teaching which comes with increased en rollment.” The university neither “professes” nor “pretends” m its belief in these matters; it puts quality before quantity and shows its regret of increasing en rollment by its strict entrance limitations. _ , Marvin’s article is indeed a good example, of impressionistic writing. Nowhere in his article does he prove that Stanford stu dents lack aspirations. Ife does not show that he has talked to students to obtain their views, in fact he shows quite clearly that he has entirely overlooked student thought which is the on ly true criteria of aspirations. The Drive Season Is With Us IN THE communication column to day, I>. P. O- registers a com plaint against the numerous cam pus drives. His opinion is probably reflected by every other student who has had the misfortune, since the opening of the fall term, of be ing button holed at each street cor ner -and asked to contribute to this drive or that. College students are not known as possessors of vast fortunes, and, in most cases fees and living ex-1 ponses cut deeply into the bank- j roll. Yet every conceivable organi-! zat ion or endeavor seeks out the | students as prospective contribu-1 tors. And the students give, andi give and give. They have given so j willingly that their generosity has attracted new collectors. At the present rate, before many years have elapsed, each week will wit ness a new drive. This is an evil for the student 11 council, as representative of the students at large, to remedy with despatch. Campaigns that have no legitimate right to appeal for stud ent support should bo denied per mission to levy drives. The worthy organizations (and they should all prove their right to ask for funds) should get their campaigning over early and quickly—perhaps at one time. .Tust what means should be used had best bo decided by the council. But something should be done, before the students themselves are forced to conduct, drives for funds in order that they may continue in the University.—C. P. However, there are many which are way out of this class. During the war and for a few; years after the war people were more than willing to contribute to certain of these drives, but now? Well that's a question. No>v that the war has been over for eight1 years, the Near East taken care of and the Armenians safely tucked away in their country, why do we need to contribute to a fund that j gives some plump “Grand Secre tary” a fat salary while he sits back and directs a drive for the support of orphans of the Napoleon ic wars! Most of the students in this Uni versity are here to gain a little knowledge. They enter school in the fall, pay their fees in October and think that they have paid all neces sary bills, with the exception of liv ing expenses, for the term. But this is where they are sadly fooled. The first week the Emerald puts on a drive for subscriptions. “Let’s see everyone do their duty and send the Emerald home,” they say, and really a person feels rather like an “under dog” if he doesn’t subscribe. But the Emerald is only a start. In the next few weeks there comes a drive for the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., followed by the Webfoot, the Oregana, the Bed Cross, the Walter Camp memorial and the Gimme a dollar game is "on. Now I don’t want to appear rad ical. I am not intending to condemn all drives but I do believe that this campus is having too many drives. Of course some of them are legitim ate but they are all tiresome. They all issue the same “let’s go over 100 per cent” appeal and they all offer a few sentimental reasons for the drive. Although I have made no exhaus tive study of drive psychology, and have really given the subject very little thought, T feel that there should be some way to remedy this evil. Therefore, I wish to offer this suggestion, it is not original but it seems to be feasible: Hold no separate drives for the charity and social benefit organiza tions but have the executive council name a certain amount to be paid to each organization, the organiza tion paid by the associated students and then levy a small tax against each student to pay the bill. The Oregana and the Emerald might as well continue their drives but the Webfoot should not have another drive. It should be paid for in the same way that the Emerald is now paid for; that is taking the price of subscription out of the stu dent body fees. Then allow no drives to be held on the campus that are not approved of by the executive committee of the associated students. * • • There is a suggestion, take it or leave it, but I believe that “some thin’ orter be done about this.” Others may have suggestions far better than this, I hope they have, and I am sure that the student body officers would gladly give ear to any suggestion which would tend to im prove this condition, D. P. C. Varsity (Continued from page orse) fact that they have both an excel lent offense and defense. Breaks may decide the contest— a blocked kick, failure to convert the point after a touchdown, or an intercepted pass. Any of these, or athers that fate allows, may be the ultimate factor in victory or de feat. Homecoming crowds may be thrill ed and brought to their feet if they see Vie Wetzel toss a slippery ball 20 or 30 yards and also see the re ;eiver pick it from the sky. All week, Coaches Vidal and Mautz lave incessantly drilled the backs ind ends in forward passing a water dick ball so the weather conditions :oday will have little destructive ef fect on Oregon’s passing attack. Lynn Jones, who will hit the Ag ?ie line for the last time today, is n the pink of condition and able to luck with the same tremendous Irive that brought him fame two rears ago. As a defensive back he s equally as valuable. Plenty of Subs O. A. C^has the advantage in the lumber or capable substitutes on ho bench, but Oregon will have a arger group of alternates than ever lefore this year which will include 'our lettermen besides several oth ers of high caliber. Because of the wet field eonserva ive football will probably prevail, ine-bucking interspersed with much muting. Wetzel has a decided ad vantage over Liebe, the Aggie punt >r. With the exception of Ira ! iVooifie, quarter, who is still on the ■ ■usually list, all other players are free from injuries. Combined with his the Oregon men have had the idvantage of viewing O. A. C. in , lotion when they played U. S. C. j Vrmistico day, and each player made j he most of the opportunity by an ilyzing the man he will play op posite today. When the whistle blows for the
