Oregon Drops Loose Contest To Aggie Nine O. A. C. Wins 2nd Game 13-7 As Three Men Clout Homers Billy’s Wrecking Crew Bangs Out 12 Singles If your Uncle Billy Reinhart ever indulges in that indoor spo?t known in the Holy Writ as gnashing of the teeth, he must have ruined all his bridgework Saturday afternoon at O. A. C. and left the bench lit tered with chips of enamel. His naive nephews lost another ball game—but how! The final score stood 13-7 with a string of errors totalling (if the al leged official scorer agrees with your correspondent) 11, with eight of them charged to the raving Beavers. Oregon’s cavorting athletes made the same number of hits as "Ralph Coleman’s henchmen, 12, and. even these coupled with the eight mis cues by O. A. C., could not manage to amass more than seven runs. But listen, mates. The cowboys’ hits were of greater dimensions and came at more opportune times. With two of his fellow players on the sacks in the second and two down, Red Bouton, O. A. C.’a snap py little shortstop, smacked one of West's choice outside pitches down first base line and was sitting on the bench by the time Gould got the ball in his hands. Those three runs put tho Aggies in tho load which they had relin quished when Oregon made two in the second frame. Naughty, Naughty, Cloyes! Gould got on when Cloyes made a bobble at first base. Johnson walked. Mimnaugh singled through short scoring; Gould and Johnson clumped over the rubber a minute later on Eddy’s single to left. That was about all there was to write homo about except a few homo runs on 0. A. C.’s part and a few spasmodic hitting sprees by the homo boys. Pitchers are never supposed to hit and after the Oregon players had enlightened “Dazzy” Ford, O. A. 0.’s little side-arm right-hander, in the fourth he proceeded to belt one over first base that was fair by an inch anil which went for a four ply swat. Red Slauson relieved West in the sixth and after hitting the first two and walking the next man, stuck a fat one in for Belleville to clout over Gould’s head in right for a homer with the bases full of class mates. Chalk Up Two! In the ninth inning, Oregon ran across two on three errors and two hits. Eddy singled for his third hit of the day, Slauson was safe on Bou ton's error. Then a cloud of dust arose and when it settled Eddy and McCormick had scored. Davo Epps, Oregon’s long-raugo hitter, kept up his mauling tactics by slashing out two singles and a double in five chances. Ford didn’t have much on Bill Eddy either as Bill collected three singles in four times at bat. For the victorious agriculturists, Bouton and Belleville each got two singles and a home run apiece. Walter McCredie, ex manager of Hie Portland Beavers, called them «ou the bases. Walt had to debate ■every time to see whether or not the runner was safe and when asked whether the decision nils out or safe, usually answered, “yes.” On to Washington!

Home Institute to Met Today at Ten The American Home Institute, under the direction of the State Federation of Women's clubs, is holding a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce from Jen until four o ’clock, today. Luncheon will be served from twelve to two. Reser vation may be made through the Chamber of Commerce or by call ing Mrs. J. B. Bell, at 1520. Speakers will be Mrs. Jesse E. McComb, of the O. A. C. home eco nomics department, Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, state director of institutes, Dr. Philip Parsons, sociologist, Rev erend J. Franklin Haas, of the Me thodist Episcopal church of Eugene, Miss Lilian Tingle, and Miss Maude M. Wilson, home economists of Ore gon and O. A. C. respectively. A musical progfam will be given during the afternoon and it is de sired that as many as possible at tend. Not only members of the Wo men’s League but anyone inter ested is invited to attend. Aquatics to Splash in Water Polo Tonight; Frosh-Varsity to Mix The University’s crew of trained seals will put on an exhibition of ball tossing this evening, as an ex tra on the regular water polo sched ule. Abercrombie’s two teams, var sity and frosh, will compete at 6:45 p. m., just before the league game between the Betas and Friendly hall. This is to be the first of the “world series,” for the University championship, and according to “Abbie,” “all the various league teams should attend to get a line on the technique of the game.” Beta Theta Pi won the right to play tonight at 7:15 p. m. by tor pedoing the Independents to the depth of 4-3, after an extra four minute interval of splashing, made necessary when Kirkham of the Independents tied the score in the last ten seconds. Friendly hall sunk the Sigma Nu quintet by a straight 2-0. Two new teams are entering the league, the Kappa Sigma and the Phi Sigma Kappa aquatics replac ing the Sigma Pi Taus, who have dropped out, making a total of eight fleets of submarines lined up, which is pretty good for spring, ac cording to the coach. Censorship (Continued from vage one) .Tust why they should want to gag and muzzle him I am not able to understand. Those who fear libelous state ments by an unmuzzled Emerald are unnecessarily concerned. The only libelous statement I have seen in the Emerald in ten years was due to a typographical error which got past the proofreader i and was corrected the next day; ! the publications committee or tiie executive council could not have | headed it off or done any more I about its correction than was I done. The university administra [ tion has abundant power in case of abuses; no president of the university has ever seen occasion to use this power. It would be accurate to say that the publications committee or the executive council should control the newspaper if it were true that one of the groups owned the newspaper; that, however, is not true. The students own the paper, and they have control of the editor through election and recall. The university administra tion is protected through its rec ognized general powers. Who is suffering under the present sys tem? i shall have to agree that the editor should be willing to listen to advice. Uusunlly, I believe, he is so willing.

If there are enough of . them, they will deserve the sort of paper they will probably get under the house-organ system. The Emerald, in my opinion, has done very well under the present ar rangement. Its good repute abroad is well deserved. Dean Collins re minded us, a while ago, that the toxin of propaganda is met in time by the antitoxin of raised public eyebrows and shrugged public shoulders. This applies to all sorts of publications, even on the campus. There is an unfortunately wide ' misunderstanding of the relation between the Emerald and other activities. When an official at tempts an analogy between the athletic and forensic activities, on the one hand, and the editor on the other, he slips into deep water. The management of the Emerald is financially supervised now, just as is the management of these other activities. But the execu tive council does not attempt to 'tell a debater what he shall say, nor a runner how he shall plan his race. It doesn’t, for that mat ter, supervise the speechmaking of student-body officers. Action is one function, and criticism an other.

It provides that a gold “O” pin with a bar upon which shall be engraved “Foren sics” and on one corner shall be engraved the year the award is made, shall be given to all debaters for one year of varsity competition. The award according to the plan shall be the same for the second year except that it shall be white gold. A shield shall be awarded for three years competition .in debate and oratory. The .junior forensic manager shall receive the same award as the representatives, ex icept that an “M” shall be engraved on the top horizontal bar. The gen eral forensic manager will receive a gold watch charm in the form of a gavel with “Forensic Manager” engraved on the front and the name of tlie winner on the back, together with the year the award is made.

If someone were to suggest a com mittee of Eugene merchants to be given supervision of the editorial policy of the Register or Guard, the idea would be branded as ridiculous. It would be. Yet, in substance, just such a case exists on the campus to day. The trouble with certain under graduates is that their vision is cramped by their nearness to the campus. Given more perspective they will see that those traditions that are worth keeping and protect ing will perpetuate themselves. Neither the traditions nor the “best interests” of the student body will be benefitted by making a publicity sheet of the campus newspaper. Most sincerely yours, ANNA JERZYK, ’25 Whither Bound? To the Editor: Will our University revert to oli garchical pettiness when the ruling few darkly refused to permit the newspaper press to write up truth fully the burning facts of life for fear that the plebean mob would gain too much enlightening know ledge, which would endanger their executive tyranny and egotistical designs? Campus students are superficially mob-minded in their 'gullible ap proval of certain crusting traditions, 1 social snobbiness, etc. Once you logically criticize or satirize these static faults, the students, with their inner dynamic vigor and sense of rational progress, realizing their conventional shallowness, will strive to improve their conditions. Our out-worn traditions are open to con siderable criticism. Surely it is righteous that an individual editor ial policy of the Emerald should point out these errors of collegiate mob-niindedness and, thereby, help to foster more thoughtful and more liberal attitudes on the campus. Are not we students intelligent enough to decide whether or not to accept certain suggestions from the editor, whom we elect annually? Let us retain the freedom of press—a cherished fundamental of American democracy and a corner-stone of modern civilization! Let us pro gress, not retrogress! WALTER EVANS KIDD (Graduate Assistant) Progress or Degeneracy? To the Editor: If ever we hope to see our Alma Mater’s name classed among the foremost institutions of learning in the civilized world we must keep its student publication free. History shows that whatever progress soci ety has made has come about through liberal thinking. It also shows that the best and biggest contributions to civilization were made by the freest societies. No ar gument is needed to convince any one that freedom of press, speech and thought leads to progress while their suppression leads to social and intellectual degeneracy. Apparent ly it is up to us to choose between progress and retrogression, between REX LAST DAY w. c.
