“Prize Fighters”
By DICK SYRING
The recent controversy between
Harvard and Princeton that result
ed in Harvard’s failure to schedule
the annual grid classic for next fall
has broken out anew with an article
written by Wynant Davis Hubbard,
Harvard varsity tackle, 1919-1920,
and published by the Liberty mag
azine this week. Hubbard cites 10
specific instances which he claims
justify the attacks of dirty foot
ball made against the Princeton
football system.
In Hubbard’s accusations comes
the question of injuries which he
claims are always a result of a Ilar
vard-Princeton football game. An
other claim states that in the 1925
game, Miller, Harvard fullback,
camq out of the game with the clear
imprint of a signet ring on his
nose. Many of the crooked tricks of
football are included in his list.
Webfoots Remember Harvard
On January 1, 1920, the Pacific
coast championship University of
Oregon football team played the
Harvard eleven in Pasadena during
the Tournament of Roses. The Web
foots took the lead on two well
placed drop kicks by Bill Steers
and Skeet Manerud, making the
count 6 to 0 at half time. Harvard
came back in the third quarter when
Church, Harvard halfback, skirted
right end for 38 yards and a touch
down on a fake forward pass play.
Harvard made the goal kick which
gave the easterners a 7 to 6 victory
after a nip and tuck game. Hub
bard, who recently made the accus
ations against Princeton, played
against Oregon on that occasion.
Earl “Spike” Leslie, who played
against Harvard and was on the var
sity for three seasons, thinks the
Harvard players in making’ the re
cent statements are a bunch of
babies.
Right after their game with ua
in 1920 they said tlio Oregon players
were tho worst bunch of prize light
ers they had ever played against.
It is permissable for a linesman to
use his hands and we thumped the
Harvard players on the helmets
plenty hard. They were not used to
a standing line defense as played on
the coast and thought it was rough.
As far as the cursing that was
charged against Princeton goes,
neither Harvard nor Oregon used
many sweet words. They were in
structed to tackle hard and clipping
was legal at, that time. I remember
that Woods, Harvard guard, wore
a leather hand brace which he used
to a good advantage,” said Leslie.
Baz Talks Up
In the opinion of Baz Williams,
varsity linesman for four seasons
and another of the participants of
the Harvard game, Harvard played
a rough game of football. He also
thinks the recent squabble is babv
like.
“My idea of a football game is
every man for himself and that's
the way Bezdek taught it,” said
Williams.
Skeet. Manerud, the smallest Ore
gon man who played against Har
vard in 1920, thinks Harvard’s ery
ings are infantile. Small as he is,
Manerud thinks the same' as Leslie,
that the Harvard players were not
so gentle themselves.
"Easterners Rough," Huntington
Tho Oregon coach at the time,
“Shy” Huntington, is under the im
pression tlinl Harvard played a
somewhat rougher game of football
than Oregon. "In mv experiences
ns a player in the Penn State game
in 1916, and its a coach during the
Harvard game l think the eastern
ers played a rougher game. Of
course, the game has been eleaned
tip considerably during the past few
years,” said “Shy,”
“Huring the Harvard (game, four
Harvard men piled on Bill Steers
when he was out of bounds. Ac
cording to the rules of that time it
was legal, however, Steers was put
out of the game about 10 minutes
before the end of the first half.
Manerud replaced hint and made a
drop kick. Steers was back in the
game in the fourth quarter," eon
tinned Huntington.
Vesper Program for
Sunday to be Varied

Watch Your Ticket
Advises Robert Love
Students are cautioned to guard
their A. S. U. O. tickets very care
fully from now on for if one is lost
the chances to get another will be
slim. According to a new ruling
passed by the executive committee,
if ft ticket, is lost it, will be neces
sary for tlie owner to state his case
in writing to the finance commit
tee and present it to the graduate
manager. If the committee allows a
new ticket to lie granted, the per
son will have to wait fifteen days
before lie will be given it and will
have to pay a charge of $1.
Bob Love, chairman of the fi
nance committee, said yesterday
that from now on the tickets will
be checked very closely. Every tick
et must be signed and 'will not be
transferable. If it is discovered that
any ticket is transferred the owner
will have to forfeit his ticket.
Mr. Love wished to emphasize the
fact that the student body tickets
save the student over $5. This tennii
lie may see nine basketball games
and have the best seats in tile pa
vilion, in the students’ section. He
may hear the Portland Symphony
orchestra and there are tWo other
concerts he may hear, aside from
that lie receives the Emerald and
can see the freshman basketball
games.

Or. Rainey’s Article
On Education Appears
In Recent Periodical
One of the principle articles ap- !
>earing in a recent issue of The ,
American School Board Journal was i
ontributed by Dr. Homer P. B.ainey,
)rofessor of education, and deals '
vith “Financing the Capital Costs j
if Education.”
Dr. Rainey points out that the i
;wo major divisions of school costs
ire current operating costs and cap
tal costs. The first includes the
mnual expenses for service and
:ommodities, and in the second Dr.
lainey devotes his discussion main
y to the capital cost.
He makes a distinction between
capital outlay and capital cost,
minting out that the former in
cludes the funds for new land,
equipment, and buildings. Under
capital costs he places the annual
iccumulative cost of plant and
equipment extensions, annual depre
ciation, cost of plant and equipment,
the interest cost of capital tied up
in buildings, and the ground rent
ef the sites of the school. “This
listinction has an important bear
ing with regard to the whole ques
tion of capital and depreciation.
The money spent for an item for
capital outlay should be charged to
capital outlay only when it is pur
chased for the first time.”
“The whole argument with re
gard to capital is that it should be
replaced or restored as it expires.
. . . The two items which are af
fected are: (1) the annual accrual
cost for extensions of plant and
equipment, and (2) the annual de
preciation on buildings and equip
ment. These costs should be com
puted annually and the money paid
into a reserve fund so that when
funds are needed for the extension
of the plant to accommodate an in
crease in attendance, or for a new
building or new equipment, they
shall always be in hand.”
Dr. Rainey meets possible taxpay
ers ’ objections to the reserve sys
tem by two arguments. First, that
the right to collect money for the
reserve is a just one, and that it is
only taking what really belongs to
education. In the second place the
reserve is not removed from produc
tive enterprise, for it is put out in
to loans into productive channels.

in promoting closer relations be

first prize awarded for the best

and the third $50.
Eight contestants in the oriental

Dear Anne—
Just received the most marve
lous compliment on the choice of
my headgear. Had on one of Le
titia Abram’s (bal. Densmore
Leonard) smart new silk hats, so
felt the tribute quite justified.
Really dear, you can rave (over
your Paris imports, but Miss
Abram’s carries exact reproduc
tions at half the price of the
originals.
Lillian, the cute little rascal,
is entertaining in honor of a. cou
sin just up from Cal. Of course,
she chose the Anchorage as the
place best suited to impress upon
her the refined appeal of true
Oregon atmosphere.
Am in a rather battered con
dition as result of recent roller
skating excursions. Never could
skate but last week did splurge
out in a ducky sweater and skirt
outfit from Densmore-Leonard
and somehow couldn’t resist dis
porting myself before the bunch.
Even if niv ventures weren’t suc
cessful the primary purpose was
achieved and enthusiastic appre
ciation voiced on the subject of
the sport costume was more than
adequate compensation.
Babs had her hair almost
grown out and then weakening,
as we all do, she succumbed to
a Co ed Barber Shop hair cut.
Between friends she looks lots
better and admits she feels so,
too.
Last week had a birthday and
rated heavily. My roomate, being
a good old bean, gave mi© what
I most desired, desk set from the
Aladdin Giftware Shoppe. It is
of wood, enamelled in orange,
and brilliantly designed. Quite a
good stimulus in writing home
for an extra check when one’s
nerve is weakening.
Precious dad wired Raup’s
Floral Co. to send out some flow
ers in honor 0f the aforemention
ed occasion and the ’re so very
gorgeous we all just sit around
and bask in the fragrance of
their beauty. No foolin’ they’ve
improved the room so much that
a unanimous resolution was pass
ed to have a Raup’s flower fund

plied.

ma suggested in her dreamy way
that we call Underwood and El
liott’s to send up some of their
famous potato salad and rolls.

For dessert we treunced down
to McKillop’s (next to M. E.

marvelous candies were they dis
