Pacific Coast Deprived of All-star Team Emerald To Disappoint Football World by Passing Up Selection I Ey JOE PIGNEY The Emerald lias decided upon originality as the essence and the merit of its sport department. To rise to this standard the sports staff has determined to remove itself from the triteness of convention. Therefore, let it be known, the Emerald unortliodoxly refuses to se lect a Pacific coast all-star football team for 1928. Alas, if this doctrine of inde pendence could be taught to the world! Before the end of the foot ball season, which is now not many weeks away, there will be a tidal wave of mythical grid teams. Ten Pacific coast conference coaches and perhaps 110 or 40 assistants will 1 deem it their just, and irrefutable right to burden the public with se lections for the all-star eleven. At least a dozen sports editors along the coast will allow the vari ous grid mentors to make their rightfully prejudiced choice, and then the writers themselves will i come forth with the one and only j Pacific coast all-star football team, j And so, ns far as the Emerald is concerned, the world will have to suffer along with one less all-star eleven. * * * Sncli a thing as an all-star team is not even a detail in the work of the Oregon football team. The Web foots arc immersed in a determined drive to defeat the Aggies at Cor vallis on November 17. For three consecutive years the Oregonians have been humbled by Beaver teams., Oregon has nearly reached the mood that will make a fourth Aggie vic tory impossible. With the sudden shrinkage in the coaching staff, McEwan has set about to drill the team as a unit. Previously the line, the ends, and the backs worked in separate groups. Coordination was lacking against the Stanford Cardinals, it was developing against both Wash ington and California, and now it should be near perfection by the time of the Beaver fray. Praise for Oregon’s football team is still drifting north from Cali fornia. The Webfoot is described in one California paper as a danger ous team coming to the front slowly. . Another paper adds further com- j ment to Oregon and to the mucli talked-of Benny Lorn: ‘‘It was chiefly Lorn who stopped Captain John J. McEwan \s sterling team from the University of Oregon.” St ill another newspaper is loud in its approval of the Webfoots: ‘‘Ore gon has some fine ball players. In dividually, Burnell, Colbert and Stadehnan stood out. Colbert is a promising tackle, lie halted Cali fornia often, as did Christensen, the : other Webfoot tackle, until he was J injured and carried from the field. “Stadelman was in most of the plays, roaming behind the line of scrimmage to knock down passes and catch the ball carriers. “This Kitzmiller is a sophomore, young and experienced and blessed with ability, a mighty punting toe and a change of pace that rivals that of Lorn. Bobinson is an accu rate passer and a good ball carrier.” If the Webfoots continue to im prove as rapidly as they have after every conference game this year, j the chances of a victory over the Aggies is more than just bright. Hoover, Bar her Boyhood Friends McNary, West, Barker Pals of New President “Bert” Hoover, a sliy dif f ident youth, yet one who placed chivalry above all virtues; a boy who had but few close friends, yet one who always stood ns defender and helper of his fellowmen; a young man whose mind was eternally busy solv ing problems, serious even in chess and checkers—this is the person, known and loved long years ago in Salem, Oregon, by Burt Brown Bar ker, vice-president of the university, who was one of the first to con gratulate the newly-elected presi dent. To Mr. Barker, Herbert Hoover was known ns “Bert” just as other playmates were known by their boy hood nicknames. Mr. Barker himself was “Buck.” Oswald West, former governor of Oregon, was “Butch,” and Charles McNary, U. S. Senator from Oregon, was “Charlie.” This quartet played together in Salem back in the early ’90’s, and one of their staunch friends was “Ike” Patterson, now governor of this state, who then ran a small grocery store. It was not until yesterday that Mr. Barker made lpiown details of his intimate friendship for the newly elected president, a friendship so highly regarded that lie did not wish it to be exploited iii any way during the campaign. Hoover Was Quiet Lad It is a warm, human story that Mr. Barker tells. Admiration for the qualities that brought the quiet “Bert” Hoover to the fore was early felt by “Buck.” Ho recalls their first days together, when “Bert” said little, yet his very reti cence seemed to denote sterling qual (Continued on Vane Three) Former Student Named Attorney In Grant County Edward Hicks, Graduate of University Last June, Wins District Election Edward Ilicks, who graduated from the university law school last June, was elected district attorney of Grant county in the recent state and national vote of November (i on the Democratic ticket, according to a telegram received the following day by his brother, A. C. Hicks, who is instructor in English on the. campus. An unusual record was made by Ilicks at the university. During the last term in school, with the excep tion of one course, he received all I grades, the highest mark given. He was also associate editor of the Ore gon Law Review during the past year, and contributed two articles to this publication, “Moot Appeals by the State in Criminal Cases,” and “Absolute Privilege in Libel and Slander.” Hicks, whose father is a promi nent attorney in Grant county, won the Bishop Sumner essay contest here two years ago. Last year he won the Hilton prize of $50 offered law students. Dean E. C. Carpenter of the University of Oregon law school speaks very highly of him. Taking and passing the bar ex amination Hicks immediately an nounced his candidacy for district attorney of Grant county which re sulted in a win for the youthful doctor of jurisprudence. Dr. Leo Friedman, New Chemistry Instructor, Likes Oregon Climate Dr. Loo Friedman, instructor in second-year and advanced inorganic chemistry, who came to the univer sity this year, likes Oregon and Eu gene for' their climate, but not especially for their golf courses. “Oregon’s climate is very agree able,” Dr. Friedman said. “In Wis cousin, the winters are just plain cold, and the. average temperature for December and January is around zero. Maine has about six feet of snow with an average of from five to ten degrees below zero from Christmas until sometime in March. Oregon, as you know, is pleasant.” Dr. Friedman lamented the fact that on a local golf course sand was used for greens. He ad mitted that on a recent trip he had found better greens on Portland courses. However the climatic and golf situations may be, Dr. Friedman is busy with his sophomore class in ad vanced general chemistry and is supervising the work of several graduate students working on mas tor’s problems. The main research work this term is being done in the study of the swelling of rayon and cellulose fibers. The master’s thesis on this subject will be published in some of the chemical journals, Dr. Friedman stated. The chemistry of pulp and paper holds great interest for the new in structor. Last week. Dr. Friedman j accompanied Professor Orin F. Staf ford, head of the chemistry depart ment, to the pulp and paper confer ence in Seattle. This meeting was held under the supervision of the industrial chemistry department of the University of Washington, to further cooperation between the schools and the industry. As soon as possible, Dr. Friedman will start work on a new research problem, the absorption of alum by pulp at different acidities with relation to the sizing problems. Dr. Friedman took his undergrad uate work at the University of Maine, and his graduate study for j his doctor’s degree at the Univer 1 sity of Wisconsin.

(Continued on Tape Three) Photographic Studies of Machinery, Sky-Scrapers9 At Art Gallery Now A group of photographs done hy Leonard Locb, professor of physics at the University of California, are now being exhibited at the little gallery of the school of architec ture and allied arts on the campus. There aro 00 subjects included in the group, varying greatly in type, all the way from the skyscrapers of New York to the dome of Lick observatory in California, and from railroad tracks in Chicago with their gleaming, rhythmic lines to the sheen of waves in a sea cave. Nowland H. Zone, head of the ex hibition committee of the arts school and associate professor of design, stated that till students of architecture and design are finding this exhibit very interesting. “It shows how tlie art of photography is being used in a simple and direct way to record fyne patterns in everyday material. “Mr. Loeb is gifted with an un usually keen ability for discovering the picturesque in material that would ordinarily be regarded us commonplace,” Mr. Zane continued. “Tlio design qualities of stool gild ers that would ordinarily be regard ed as incidental and uninteresting have been proved by Mr. Loeb’s recognition and handling to be rich in beauty, line, tone, and form, and so here is much about his work that saves it from being merely pretty.” “The type of photography shown in this exhibit is of comparatively recent development,” stated Dr. A.
