Coaches Take Sides on New Grid Proposal Washington, O. A. C. Have Opposite View; Price Favors McEwan Tho score is now tied. Two schools have taken opposite sides of the nmnncnd nVinlitinn nf snrimr foot ball practice spon sored by Captain John J. McEwan. Washington and O. A. C. have both taken a stand against the sug gest i o n of the Webfoot mentor. “Nibs” Price, Cal ifornia grid tutor, however, has ral-| lied to McEwan’s, side of the matter. Thus far, no other Oapt. McEwan universities in tne coast conierence have committed themselves on the matter. The proposal to do away with football practice, except in the fall, and to lengthen that period, by call ing grid aspirants back to school either a week or ten days earlier which McEwan outlined, will be in troduced to the conference as an is sue to be decided upon by Prof. H. C. Howe, Oregon representative to the conference, at the next session of the organization. Price took a stand in favor of the mntter on the basis that under the present system, California is handi capped in fall practice. School opens in the south in August, and, while the colleges in the northern section are holding several practice periods a day, the students at Cali fornia have classes to attend. Enoch Bagshaw, Washington coach, has made no comment thus far, but the Washington Daily, stu dent publication, regarded it as un necessary under present conditions of the fall sport. Paul Schissler, Oregon Aggie grid coach, stated that spring football did not, in any way, interfere with scholarship, and was of value to the coach, in lining up men for the fall season. Schissler, at present is hold ing a two weeks training workout this term, to determine which as pirants are most likely to make the squad next fall. O. A. C. held prac tice last term also, terminating it in a game between the “will-bes” and the “has-beens.” Montana, Washington State, Stan ford and Southern California, have not yet commented on McEwan’s idea,, either through their publica- i tions or from the coaches. China (Continued from paye one) peaceful people. The Westerners en joy much more life, liberty, and protection of property in Chinn than they would in their homo lands. No matter how unstable the Chinese government in Peking is, the instability of the government bears almost no effect on the pre serving of peace for the foreigners within her territorial limits. This is largely because of the fact that tlic Chinese are not very aggressive and thus do not tend to commit crimes as frequently as the western 1 people do. It is also easier for a Westerner 1 to live in China than in his home country so far as the economic stan- 1 dard goes. It is pretty hard for a I person to put up a well equipped j residence in any part of the United States with less than six or seven j thousand dollars, but if he brings even half that amount of money to Shanghai, he will find no difficulty in possessing a house of consider- | able size with practically all modern I accommodations. Moreover, he will allow his wife an easy life bv cm- ! ploying a corps of domestic servants , to take care of his family. Practic- i ally all the Westerin'rs who own residences at Shanghai hire ser- ; vants, but in America the wife of a well-to-do family usually is a reg j ular house-keeper, working from the kitchenette to the banquet room. In a word, the unequal standard of liv REX LAST HURRY DOWN TO SEE ^ ki/h DAY -GtMtrW .Uir The year’s longest a n d loudest laff—And this is your last chance to see it. i ing between the East and the West constitutes one of the most distinct advantages for the Westerners in China. j The grant of rights by China to I the powers through the treaties was ! once a necessity, but the exercise of these rights by the foreigners in | China has become the chief cause I of trouble today. There are quite a ! few things which they would not be ' allowed to do if they were on their | own soil, but which they have done j very successfully in China under j the protection of extraterritorial j jurisdiction. The so-called conces ! sions or settlements once granted by the Chinese government to the for eigners for the right of residence have become more or less a group of foreign local sovereign states with their municipal governments maintained to exercise political authority. The Chinese living in | these localites have not been dealt j wtli on equal footing with the for eign nationals. Naturally, in turn, the same Chinese would have looked at the foreigners with a different eye. As such has been the case, the result is nothing but a conflict. — Frosh Baseball Team Meets Salem Today The freshman baseball team will meet Salem high on the varsity diamond today at 4 p. m. On Satur day morning at 10 they will be matched against the Washington high nine, of Portland. Both prep schools have strong teams and, although the frosh are yet unbeaten, they will be given a hard test in these games. Salem aggregation piled up a two figure score against the O. A. C. rooks, and Lincoln high, of Port land, was defeated by them. Johnny Anderson will start to day’s game in the box, with Mac Donald held in reserve. Jim Wal ton, catcher, Strommer, second base, and Coleman, may take turns behind the bat, although Walton is the only experienced catcher. The remainder of the line-up will be: Nelson, first; Wirth, second; Robie, shortstop; Mason, third; Giles, center field.; Coleman and Williams in the right and left field. Donut Water Poloists Meet Tonight in Gym Ladies’ night of the water polo league games between the varsity and frosh swimming teams will be held Tuesday, May 10, at 7 p. m., instead of Thursday, it was an nounced yesterday. The north door to the men’s gym, on University I street, will bo used. Four drfnut league polo games will be played tonight. Beta Theta Pi, heretofore unconquered, will meet Chi Psi; Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Del ta Tau Delta; Kappa Sigma vs. Sig ma Nu; and Friendly hall vs. Inde pendents will complete the list. Friendly hall is weakened by the loss of two men by sickness, but the score is evened by the inability of Dungan, high point man of the league with four goals to his credit, to play for the Independents. Bob McAlpin, Delt player, and Kittoe, Beta, are runners up with three good throws each. Five other men, Owens, Carleson, Kirklinm, Doll, and Bunn, have made two goals dach, while several others !iave pulled down individual mark ers.

A night life from Hollywood Dancing at 8:30 Wisconsin Star Athlete, Rhodes Man Suggests Changes in Sports Program Limit of Practice and Games per Individual Among Six Reforms Backed by Students Union UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, ] Madison—The Wisconsin Union, an organization of all male students of the university, is backing a proposal for student participation and stu dent leadership in athletic reform. It has published a pamphlet and is distributing it to college and high school students, and others interest ed. A student athlete, one of the group most vitally concerned—and most generally ignored—in the game of Athletics vs. Education which has been underway among ed ucators, coaches, and essayists of recent years, today went into the line-up for Education and smashed through center with a series of pro posals which he thinks will enable each side to triumph. Jefferson D. Burrus, Jr., captain of the University of Wisconsin crew, for three years a star end on the Badger football team, vice president of the Wisconsin Union, and recently elected Rhodes scholar from Wisconsin, in a 30-page pamph let issued through the Union board, points out five faults apparent to an athlete in the present inter-iol legiate athletic system, and ad vances six proposals which, as an athlete and student, he thinks will correct the situation. Himself an outstanding athlete, and confessedly an ardent fan in sports in which he does not person ally take part, Burrus brings these charges against the athletic system of which he has been a prominent part for three years: “1. Athletics are too intense for a few; several hundred men at the most bear the athletic burden of the entire university, enjoying its benefits and suffering its injurious effects. “2. The majority lacks opportun ity for athletic participation; gen eral student health and well-being are inadequately provided for in the general athletic program. “3. Varsity athletics are too much in the limelight, subordinating the intellectual program in the eyes of high school students, the general Lingerie and Dainty Clothes Are treated with the ut most care and skill when they are washed in our modernly equipped plant.

Cut-throat competition is forced on the coaches by the foot ball public, and the general attitude of alumni tends to accentuate the evils of the situation. “5. Students and faculty have too little control of athletics, with the result that there is little har mony between athletics and educa tion.” Some shifts in the arrangement of the athletic system which Burrus be lieves will make it serve its true function are: “1. Eeplace freshman and sopho more gymnasium work with two years of compulsory sports which will be the training ground for var sity athletes. “2. Limit intercollegiate competi tion to juniors and seniors, or per haps to sophomores and juniors. “3. Limit each sport to its season, and do away with spring football, spring and fall basketball, etc. Set definite limits for the sports. “4. Limit daily practice for each r sport in the same way that football practice has been limited to two hours. “5. Limit each student to one in ter-eollegiate sport, or prohibit his participation in successive sports. “6. Give students and faculty greater control of athletics,. ;,andj ! work through the Big Ten to secure the above regulations, in order that no one university will injure its ’ immediate athletic standing by tak ing the initiative.” As a representative of the Union board, Burrus attended the March j conference of Big Ten coaches in ! Chicago and requested that student and faculty representatives from the conference universities be called into conference with the coaches at their meeting in Madison during the Western Conference track meet in May. Because the agenda of the coaches’ meeting were completely filled thejr felt obliged to reject the proposal. The Union board plans to keep in touch with the situation, and if Bur rus’ statements rouses a demand among students and faculty of other Big Ten universities to push the project for a stud^nt-faculty-coaeh agreement in the conference on needed reforms. Burrus emphasizes in his analysis the unfortunate effect of the pres ent system in causing the high May 5, 1927.
