Metzen Schedule Demonstrates Need For East-West Grid Game TIi.' foothill I schedule which Oregon drew id the annual mooting of Pacific coast conference graduate managers alt Ijos Angeles yesterday pointed again conclusively to the fact that Oregon needs an east-west game to round out its yearly grid program. The schedule which Jack Benefiel, graduate mana ger, iiti'iinged for Oregon yesterday was excellent from one standpoint, hut not nearly so excellent from another. It was excellent from the standpoint of the team, since Stanford will he the first opponent and Stanford is invariably weakest at the first of the year. Idaho follows, and it is probable that this game will not he so hajrd as that against the Cards. Then will come another important tussle, that with Washington. The Uclas will he fairly tough—probably tougher than many fans expect at the present time—and the season will wind u]> against the Aggies. That schedule is lint' as far as the team is concerned. But where is the money in il ? Money is the one thing which a football team absolutely must have. The Stanford game early in the season will- not draw as much as it would la,ter. There is comparatively little reason to anticipate a sell out for the Idaho contest which will he played on Hayward field. Tin* Washington game should provide a good sized crowd— if neither Washington nor Oregon has fallen too low in the standings by the time they play each other. The Uclas failed notoriously to draw even a full quota of peanut venders when they last appeared in Portland. Of course, the Aggie contest will, as usual, pay expenses and then some. The trouble with Oregon right njow is that it hr/ui't sufficient drawing power at the box office. It has the strongest team in the northwest. Other teams fight shy of scheduling games with schools who have strong teams and who cannot at the same time make up for that handicap by offering great financial inducement. In other words, it's much more pleas ant to get beat by a team which will pay $30,000 for the honor than to get heat by a team which has to borrow from the bank to pay for the shoestrings of the first team. An east west contest, which in a few years would inevitably become a clafsic, would aid tremendously in giving the Oregon team the publicity which would make it one of the greatest • Irawing cards in the west. I’he success ol our near neighbors in the Held ol ini or-sect ioita I contests is proof of the contention. The Aggies took a staggering financial blow on the chin when they brought Carnegie Tech to Portland last season, but this year they are rated as one of the outstanding elevens of the entire country, and they could pack in crowds at New York, Philadelphia, Chicago or Junction City. How many people eiV-t ol the Mississippi river know that Oregon has a better team by If! points than (). A. V L-campijs \'.

The remains of his chariot may be seen behind Condon hall. Stoddard reports that the cargo which he had on board was confiscated by some user of such goods, and he has evidence to prove that Lyle Laughlin of the A. B. C. frater nity is the criminal. Unless these goods are returned to their haven within 24 hours, Stoddard swears that he will have the above named criminal brought before the law, and will there sue for damages.

Edith Dodge, presi dent of the Women’s league, assist ed by Dorothea l.enseh, president of the W. \. A., is planning for the t!iris’ league conference. Helen Peters, chairman of tin bousing committee, urges tliose liv ing organizations liaviDg preferences for delegates turn them in to her— loon. There will be ten guests for each house, she announced. “In order to put this week-end across to the high schools students of the state,” declared Jo Ealston, “it will be necessary for every stu dent to act as a host or hostess. The committee is working hard to com plete the arrangements, and all that remains is for us to show these prep pors that Oregon is a good school to attend.” Frivolity of Campus Publications Deplored Century Article Advocates Better College Journals Deploring the frivolity of under graduate publications, President Ernest Hopkins of Dartmouth col lege lias urged upon the freshman class a higher standard of campus journalism, according to an article in the Century. The urging was most acutely needed, not only at Dartmouth but at every college in the country. An examination of undergraduate peri odicals recently made by this writer revealed a predominant mass of in ane humor, sports chatter and cam pus notes, prepared in a style known for some reason as “breezy,” and aimed at the intelligence level of a low grade buck private. Of rational comment upon nation al affairs, of maturity in style or makeup there was scant evidence. Of discussion—or even news—con cerning art, science, letters, there was none. It seems fair to Yale, Columbia and Princeton to remark that their papers were much above the average in appearance and content. Harvard possesses in the Hound and Horn a distinguished literary magazine, the only tiling of its kind in the entire rack of college literature. And as for tiie alleged “comics,” well, that phase of the scrutiny was so painful that we’d prefer not to open it again just now.

THE COLLEGE WATCH — It Tells the College Times - -By LEONARD H. DELANO An intercollegiate air race. Thou sands of spectators fill the stands, set high up on the hill overlooking the course. Directly below is the finish pylon and just beyond the latter are the planes of the differ ent teams. -Eight birds glistening with the colors of the colleges they represent. Eight propellers roar and eight, birds take to the air, four and four. The race is on! Perhaps that may be a part of a news story about an intercollegiate air race in the near future, even though it does sound a bit fantastic to us now. More and more colleges | and universities in the United States arc paying attention to fly ing as a competitive sport of the near future and a large number now have aviation clubs of their own. An exempt from an article about intercollegiate flying in a recent is- i sue of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle j follows: ‘‘Before many years avia tion may be a major college sport, with winning members receiving insignia just as the varsity football players and crew men now do. Aeronautical observers see it com ing. A few of them are afraid that a premature start may be made. The Intercollegiate Aeronautical as sociation, which was organized at New Haven a week ago, is the first step toward regulated competition.” The article points out that Har vard will probably win easily in possible competition this year. Har vard has lid prospective pilots with several planes. The men come out to the field every day and work scheduled hours, under Robert B. Bell, student captain, just like the candidates for baseball or soccer teams.

Illinois, Northwestern university and Cornell. Grover Loeniug, well known air plane manufacturer and one of those enthusiastic, over the future of college flying, has offered a $."000 prize and a cup to the college which would win an altitude race of 5000 feet. However, it has just been decided that such a race would be dangerous at the present time, at least to some of the colleges whose student pilots are still young at the game. The committee to decide the exact basis of competition for the cap and prize to be presented next June : is composed of such men as Colonel Charles Lindbergh, Thomas Hitch cock, and Cornelius V. Whitney. With the ban on Oxford, Eng land, undergraduates against flying lifted, 10 pupils daily take instruc tion in the university squadron of three Aero-Lynx machines. While here on the Pacific coast college flying is showing a marked growth. At the University of Washington a request for $50,000 worth of aviation equipment is to be prepared and presented at the next session of the state legislature. The Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics has given the university $290,000 for a pro posed aeronautics building with the provision that the state furnish the equipment. If the appropriation is approved construction .will start im mediately. Other developments are being made in aviation among colleges and universities of the coast, both in curricular and extra-curricular work. Among the student clubs is the one at Oregon Agricultural col lege which started up over a year ago. “ 1 like its pep. After you leave college—everyday life is so much more dreary—the people outside of college seem to live just to make money and not to enjoy life.” Russell Fcrriss, senior in business administration: “I like the friends —they are the most valuable in col lege and outside life as well—they broaden one’s viewpoint and make college seem worth while.” June Goodale, junior in education: " 1 like the football games and the holidays that follow.” GRILLE DANCE TONIGHT Campa Shoppe Music by Johnny Robinson s Varsity Vagabonds CAMPUS BULLCIlfSU rr-lfr University Campfire group will meet in the woman’s room of the Wom an’s building, 4:30 Monday.
