Journalists Organize Grid Squad
To Meet Challenge of Law School
Forty-eight, hours of silence lias
greeted the challenge which the law
school issued to the world in gen
George Godfrey
oral and tlie jour
nalism school in
particular last
Thursday. But if
the budding bar
risters of Oregon
hall have been led
to believe that
their sweeping
declaration of su
p e r i o r i t y has
stj ue Iched all as
pirations to the
contrary, they are
in for a great dis
lllusionment, according to several
prominent personages among the
journalists.
When the inquiring reporter asked
Arthur Schoeni, managing editor of
the Emerald, why the journalists
were allowing to pass unrebuked
the insulting proclamation of the
law school, Mr. Schoeni assumed a
dramatic posture and said with a
heavy Shakespearian accent: “Wo
saw, we read, and we became vio
lently nauseated. We have been
ill for two days as a result and have
been unable to frame a suitable
reply.”
The inquiring reporter then in
vaded the sanctum sanctorum of
Arden A'. Pangborn, editor of the
Emerald. Mr. Pangborn takes the
affair very seriously.
“We shall not attempt to match
vituperation with Mr. Richard Mor
ris, who speaks for the law school,”
he said. “Actions speak louder than
words, and we shall take immediate
steps to organize a football team
to meet the best the barristers have
to offer.”
An indignation meeting was held
around the Emerald copy desk, and
GtiOrge Godfrey, teacher and pub
licity agent supreme, was chosen
football coach.
Godfrey at once chose a tentative
first string team from the host of
candidates that eagerly offered
their services.
Ends: Art Schoeni and Leonard
Delano. These men have become so
good at running down news, that

they ought to bo able to stop tho
law school safety, easily.
Tackles: Rex Tossing and Estill
Phipps, 'fussing insists on playing
tackle because he has heard that
Biff Sehcinbaum is to play that po
sition for the law school, and says
it ought to bo easy to plow right
through him.
Guards: Carl Gregory and Dick
Horn. These men are bound to
make good at this position. The
only fear regarding them is that
they may cause the team to be pen
alized for holding.
Center: Clarence Craw. Coach
Godfrey says that any law school
ball tutor that tries to crawl through
Craw will be badly clawed.
Jack Hempstead, Leonard Hag
strom, and William Haggerty will
make a “11” of a good baclcfield
trio. Editor Pangborn himself will
hold down the fullback ami safety
position.
Coach Godfrey announces that in
tensive training will begin imme
diately, and that within two weeks
his men will lie in the pink of con
dition for whatever the law school
has to offer.

Barbers ‘Soup’
For Old Greeks
‘Shut Up’ Was Solution
Of Ancients’ Problems,
Says Dr. Smertenko
Barber shops wore the newspapers
of rubles’ day, and one of the
funniest jokes of the time concerned
a worthy Greek citizen who, when
asked by his tonsorial artist how
he wanted! his hair cut, replied
“In silence.”
So related Dr. Clara Smertenko,
associate professor in Latin and
Greek, when she spoke on the ways
of telling news in ancient Greece
before a meeting of women jour
nalism majors, sponsored by Theta
Sigma I’hi, women's journalism hon
orary, Thursday evening.
Describing the Greeks as a people
with a tremendous curiosity about
what was going on in the world,
Dr. Smertenko enumerated the. chief
means by which news was communi
cated as the barber shop, the gym
nasium, the market place, where
some hooks were sold, the games,
the festivals, long trips, pilgrimages
to oracles, and wars.
Due partly to their intense spirit
of public responsibility Greek eiti
zens, particularly those of Athens,
were eager to know the knows of
the day, she told the group.
“Regardless of their geographi
cal isolation the Greeks kept their
eyes on the world," Dr. Smertenko
declared.
“The ancient Greeks undoubtedly
had a belter memory than we of
today,” the speaker asserted.
“Even though Iho preparation of
a book was entirely by hand they
sold very cheaply, usually for one
drachma, which was a coin of slight
value,” she went on.
A group of about 40 girls listened
attentively to Dr. Smertenko during
her discussion which she presented
with a charming informality of
style, speaking of the Greek’s so
naturally that the listeners forgot
to think of the ancient Greeks as
a race musty in history and instead
