> By JOE PIGNEY The supremacy of football on the Pacific coast is indisputable. The precedent established last week by O. A. Stanford, and U. S. 0. prob ably will remain untarnished for : several years to come. It was a startling week, and the region east of the Rocky mountains is still | wobbly from the surprise. Comparative scores make most any ■ coast conference team the champion' of the United States. Oregon, who i defeated the Aggies wh'o defeated the Xew York Violets who beat Car negie Tech who beat Notre Paine who defeated the West Pointers who . lost to Stanford, automatically bo I comes one of the leading teams of the country. The Webfoots, however, just fin ishing a tremendously successful season, need not seek reflected glory. Oregon’s title ns champion of the Northwest and the fourth place winner on the coast is suffi cient glory for a team which has been in the dumps for so long. Oregon’s team next year should be even better than the one this year. To' replace the regulars, Bur nell, Ilagan, Pope and Gould, and the reserves, Woodie, Old, Keynov, and McOutchan, will be a difficult task for McEw.au, but the Oregon coach already is considering who will take their positions. West Coast Leads East On 1928 Gridiron Californians Think Little Of Oregon Victory Over V. of C. at L. A. Tho Webfoots’ victory over the IT. C. L. A. Bruins at Los Angelos last Thanksgiving day did not ex cite the southern football critics. On the contrary, they had very little' but a chorus of “boos” for the team which overwhelmed U. C. L. A., 26 to 6. Oregon was a heavy favorite to win, and won easily. Here, how ever, is what the Californians think 1 of the Webfoots: “Oregon University’s highly tout ed football team, rated as one of the best that ever represented the northwestern institutions, went on parade" yesterday at the Coliseum before .'15,900 fans in a game against the IT. C. L. A. Bruins and after all was said and done the Webfoots had defeated the local boys by a 20 to 6 score but the invaders did more damage to their reputation than they did to the Bruins in com pleting the job. “The Oregon plovers entered the game an easy 3-to-l favorite and after floundering around for the first half managed to run up a 6 to 0 lead. In the last half Oregon ran up another 20 points but the local boys outplayed the Wcbfooters every inch of the way.” Evidently a 26 to 0 drubbing means little to, the author of that statement, or perhaps the Bruins have been beaten so badly from time to time th' . year that the Ore gon score was comparatively small. Anyway, we suspect that critic as ^ being as local as the “local boys” on the Ucla team. * * * To date no signs of tears have appeared on the Oregon campus fol lowing U. C. L. A.’s crushing vic tory over the Webfoots who won 26 to 6. But here is the reaction among the Oregon fans as seen by a southerner: “The game was a better disap pointment, to Oregon followers, who expected an overwhelming victory with a game on the U. S. C. schedule for the next year as a reward for (Continued on rage Two) Star Grid Choice Wins Movie Pass Month's McDonald Pass Contest Ends Saturday The season of all-star tennis is upon 11s.

Taylor, lecturer for the Sherman Clay Cfo. on the Pacific coast, is to speak at the school of music anditorium Thursday night, .Dec. 6, at 8 o’clock.

Mrs. Beck in praising Mr. Taylor’s work says, “Mr. Taylor’s talk is infor mative but given in a very inter esting manner. His talk will be appreciated by every one,. whether musically inclined or not. Mr. Tay lor is an exceptionally good speaker 'and establishes friendly relations . with his audience, keeping them always alert.” Mrs. Beck states that townspeople as well as students arc cordially invited. She requests that all at tending be prompt in order that the talk may commence at 8 sharp. Mr. Taylor plans to speak before several groups in Eugene this week.

Hamlsaker of Portland who was announced as the speaker at the banquet of the Eugene Council for the Prevention of War at the ■ Osburn hotel, will instead address ■ the same group at the men’s dormi "tory dining room this evening at 0:00 o’clock, according to Professor H. 8. Tuttle, secretary of the or ganization. Mr. Handsaker only re- ■ eently returned from Washington, j D. C., where he attended the meet of the National Council for the Prevention of War. His subject will be a study of sentiment regard ing the Kellogg-Briand peace pacts. | “All interested are invited to at- J tend,” said Professor Tuttle in tell- j ing of the meeting. “This meeting is open to all students and faculty | j members, arid we are desirous that I they hear Mr. Hamlsaker.” Work On Fine Arts Building May Start In Near Future Says Regent Hope Hint the Fine Arts building may be started in the near future was expressed by Mrs. George Ger linger, member of the board of re ' gents who is in charge of tlie drive for funds, when she was seen re cently in Portland. The actual date of construction depends largely on the completion of a campaign for funds now on in Eugene, she said. “There is considerably more than $200,000 pledged for the Fine* Arts building fund,” said Mrs. Gerlinger. The sources are as follows: Presi dent and Mrs. Campbell and mem 1 | s of their family, $33,000; citi zens of Eugene, $25,000; “Old Ore gon” exposition and bazaar in 1925, $15,000; alumni transfer pledges, $45,000; founders of the Art Mu seum, $1,000 each; family memor ials of the prominent families of the state, $500; a committee of 1000 or more have pledged $100 or more each, thus making a total of $1UU,UUU. liacn OI me xuay-rwu classes having been graduated from the university were asked to give *100 as a elass gift. A few have given more than the sum requested, others hav.e not as yet pledged. By the time the building is completed, each class, Mrs. Gerlinger says, will want this much of a share in this beautiful and lasting memorial. Many of the alumni pledges are payable on July 1, 1929, this being the end of the first five year period starting in the summer of 1924. There have been many miscellan eous gifts. One source of help has been that of the Fine Arts clubs organized in the following towns of Oregon: Eugene, with a $2000 pledge to be raised in two years; Salem under the leadership of Mrs. Clifford Brown, with its pledge of i $1000 almost completed; Pendleton, i The Dalles, and Baker, each with (Continued on Page Three) College Men Get Younger, Seven Oregon Students Only 16 Years 061; Seniors Average Is 22 ‘Under Age’ Quota at School Rated as High Birthday Survey Shows Youthfulness of Many Seven students of the University of Oregon are only 1(5 years old, while 120 have not yet reached their 18th year, it was revealed yesterday in a study of statistics made public by Earl II. Pallett, registrar. More than liajf of the 3,0015 students on the campus, are “under ngc,” for 1,078 have not yet. renchWl their 21st birthday. The age of 20, with 557, lends ail the groups. Of this number 208 are men and 2150 women. The age of 10, with 287 men and 207 women, is next. Only SS students, 44 men and 4t women, admitted being 28 or over. The statistics show that the usual age of entering the university is 18, with 327, approximately one-third,, of the freshman class in this group. Freshmen aged 10 total 261, those 20 include 137, while only 13 are older than 23. The most common gradu ating age is 21, with 115 of the present class in this number. Ten seniors are only 10, indicating that they entered at the age of 15 or 10, or were able to rush through their university work more rapidly than usual. The median age for the university is given as 20, with medians for dif ferent classes as follows: freshmen, men 10, women 18; sophomore, men 20, women 20; junior, men 21, wom en 21; senior, men 22, women 21; graduate students, men 25, women 24. The average age was not figured, sinee students who are 28 years or older, would bring the average up to a figure which would not be indi cative of the true average of age. Flu Cases Decrease Over Thanksgiving Infirmary Has Four Cases Of Slightly Serious Ills Thanksgiving holidays have evi dently taken all thoughts of mere things like influenza out of stud bnt’s minds, for there are at pres ent only twenty sufferers from that disease under university care.

Air Courses For School Plan Meel Aviation School H cads To Hold Conference With University Men Committees Will List Studies That Will Aid Aeronautics On Rise Says Dr. Hall; Need Is Seen Following a preliminary meeting hold last week, 1 ho University of Oregon committee on aviation will in e o t Thursday,December, C, at 3 .ur. nail o ciock wnn in 11 oiaIs of the Hold Airways air school of Eugene, when plans will lie made for listing of courses and ma terial at the uni versity that will lie of aid to stu dents of aeronau tics, it is an nounced by I)r. Arnold nenneir n:m. iwnnwia m the aviation committee, which is headed by Dr. Warren D. Smith, heart of the department of geology, are enthusiastie over the possibili ties that they believe are open in this field. . The university does not plan to offer courses in fixing, since it is felt that this is 1 lie work of tech nical schools such as that main tained here by Ilobi Airways, but it is believed that aviation students can greatly benefit by a regular university education which can be obtained while they are taking fly ing instruction. Grads To Have Chance On the other hand, aviation offers an excellent field for university graduates, and those who are now completing business or other courses at. the university can learn flying at the -local school and then go into the actual business as employees for airplane construction companies or mail and passenger concerns. Courses that may be taken with profit by prospective aviation stu dents will be segregated, and sug gested outlines of study may bo in cluded in the university catalogue when the work of the committee is completed. Major E. G, Eckerson, pilot and instructor of the Hobi Airways school, will meet with the university group this week. The university committee consists of Dr. Smith, Dean David E. Eaville, (lean of the school of business adminis tration; C. II. Hicks, professor of mathematics, and George II. God frey, assistant professor of .jour nalism. Aviation on Upgrade “Aviation is everywhere com manding more and more attention throughout the entire United States,” says Dr. Arnold Dennett Hall, president of the university. “1 have just noticed a bulletin from ibe U. S. department of commerce which states Hint dl more cities have begun construction on airports and that at an international civil aeronautics conference to be held in Washington December 12 to 14, <10 foreign countries have already agreed lo send delegates. “At the University of Michigan more than 200 students are enrolled in aviation courses. New develop ments in aircraft, making them faster and safer, and what is more important, new developments in air traffic and business affected by it, make it important that students of today give this great new field serious thought.” French Club To Hear Belgian Professor Professor Albert Uraehet, visiting professor from the University of Brussels, Belgium, will address mem bers of Ee Cereie Francois and friends, at a meeting to be held at the Chi Omega house Saturday afternoon, December 8, at 4 o’clock.

Oregon Team To Leave For Hawaii Soon Twenty-two Men To Make Journey for Big Game W i t h All-star Players Mid-Pacific Islanders Named Good Grid Men Webfoots Will Spend Two Days on Sight-seeing Twenty-two members of tlie Uni versity of Oregon football team will Ionvo Eugene Tuesday, December 11, bound for tbo sunny islo of Hawaii to uphold the standards of Ameri can college football against the on slaughts of two Hawaiian teams. The island teams to be played are the all-stars of Honolulu and the University of Hawaii. The Web foots will battle the town team on Christmas day and then tangle with the brown-skinned collegians on New Year’s day. The eyes of the na tion will be focused on the green shirfed players from Oregon in their holiday battles as the Hawaiian teams have been beating the teams from the states quite regularly dur ing the last few years. Players to Start Soon The Oregon team will sail on the Wilheminn from San Francisco on the twelfth and will arrive in the “paradise of the Pacific” on the seventeenth. They will have almost a week in which to prepare for their first game. There has been some talk of scheduling a third game to be played before Christ mas, and if this game is staged the big team from Eugene will put in a busy two weeks on the island. Two days will be given, over to sight-seeing at the many famed places of interest afforded by the Hawaiian Islands and the squad will leave Honolulu, homeward bound, on January 3. They will re turn on the Matsonia and will ar rive in San Francisco on the eighth. They are scheduled to be in Eugene for classes on the following day. Hawaiians Good Players The football played on tlio mid Pacific islands is of the highest style, according to George Godfrey, Mr. Godfrey spent several years in publicity director of the university. Honolulu on the staff of the Hono lulu Star Bulletin. He declares that the natives are very adept at the American game and start playing while in grammar school. The preparatory schools develop very good players for the university. The climate on the islands is such that the game is played all year and the teams are well drilled in fundamentals. According to Mr. Godfrey, the idea that the natives play barefooted is quite right. They don’t wear shoes until they are about Hi years of age when they graduate into the larger leagues. The players in the high school league wear shoes. Tricky Game Promised The Oregon grid team will line up against some \vry husky players in their games and along with brawn the natives are very speedy. They possess well developed feet and legs and play a fast tricky game. The all-star team is composed of former college stars from the United States and the local university team. They are well coached and are rated on a par with the univer sity. The University of Hawaii is located on the hill overlooking the city of Honolulu and has a student body of about 800. Their record of games played with colleges from the mainland is very impressive and they are expected to offer plenty of (Continued on 1’age Two) Emerald Editor, Minus Bombs and Bullet-Holes, Returns To Paper “A novelty cigarette ease was tlie only ‘gun’ l saw in Chicago,” Arden X.
