The Oregon Dally Emerald, official publication of the Associated
Students of the University of Oregon, Eugene, issued daily except
Sunday and Monday, during the college year. Member of the Pacific
Intercollegiate Press. Entered in the post office at Eugene, Oregon,
as second class matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year. Advertis

‘IIE CLOCK tolled .112:150 yesterday noon and soon its hands
rested fit the hour of 12:40, the time set for the paddling
on the library steps of frosli breakers of traditions. Not a
guilty green-capper was in sight.
The truth is, the slips were not ready to be handed out by
the Oregon Knights 1o the offenders ns was planned and the
Order of the “O'’ had nothing to do. Meanwhile, the frosli on
tlie campus are going right on breaking these traditions.
When the Knights and the athletes took it upon themselves
to punish the first-year men it was not expected that they would
wait until the term was more than half over before starting in.
If tin* traditions are worth defending at all they should
have been enforced from the start. Both organizations have
had a month to make their plans for this paddling session and
probably have made them. But their laxness in getting things
started is unjustifiable. At the least, it will look sort of odd
to start enforcing age-old traditions the middle of fall term
when the way of enforcing them is little different from any
previous systems.
The freshmen themselves will have small respect for tradi
tions \yhich their superiors in university rating enforce so
weakly.
Frosh Still Unpaddled
Tennis, Swimming Are Orphans
CJTILL (lie university is without a swimming and tennis coach.
^ After turning out a championship net. team and an aquatic
aggregation which carried away northwest honors last year, Ed
Abercrombie, coach, resigned last summer to work on his mas
ter’s degree.
"When school started this fall the athletic department was
still easting about the bushes for a, mentor for tin* two orphan
activities. Two major sports without a coach and the term half
over! Stephenson Smith has taken over the destinies of the
tennis squad and will act as a director until a coach is pro
cured, .
But swimming, which should have started fall practice by
October 1, is still on the shell'. Prospects are good for another
winning team with many lettormen back. They have been
champing their bits for the past month, waiting for the signal
to go.
dolm Anderson has taken a hand with the swimmers, but
he can not do much, lie is one of them, not their coach. The
time is ripe. If Oregon expects to have another brilliant year
in tennis and swimming a coach should be on hand to start the
ball rolling.
On the Trail
AST Wednesday, it seemed, Opportunity sat unnoticed in the
Oregon grand-stands and the Oregon band was not there
to welcome it. lie may have received a deep affront, but after
all he is not that jealous, avenging, bald-pate he is said to be,
but rather a gruff old gentleman with a twinkle in bis eye, who
sometimes slackens his pace so that one may walk beside him.
All that is brought to mind by the sight of the band a night
or two ago, marching out over the drill fields with only the
major and a drum to keep them in step. (Bands, too, should
be in step.) Perhaps they were hastening to catch the depart
ing guest. Who knows? They were out of sight immediately,
but it is a pleasant fancy to think of them deploying to right
and left, searching for old Opportunity.
And if they overtake him, could it not be as lie drifts
through the stadium again for Dad’s Day, and could they not
curtsy and bow in the manner of bands, and spell out a Wel
come sign for him? Would tin1 Dads mind? No need to
wonder, for they know him themselves, and it band successful
in pursuit, Dads, and Opportunity would join, don't you be
lieve, in a mightier .Mighty Oregon?
The students of the university will have a chance Saturday
afternoon at the football game to show their rural or urban
tendencies when the university institutes the announcement by
radio loud-speakers of the plays that are taking place on the
gridiron. This system is much in vogue in California and spec
tators do not comment upon it.
Bulletin, from state board of health in Kansas: Never kiss
in crowded places or in a poorly ventilated room, but if you
must kiss, take a hot mustard footbath and avoid drafts in ease
you feel “all in” afterward. Sounds like the advice of witch
The University of Texas lias banned the sale of apples at
football games because the students pelted the band down at
the bottom of the grandstand with the cores. Maybe their
music had something to do with the rain of cores.

Stolen Trophy
To Be Returned
Washington Students Send
Back Oregon Horn
The Oregon trophy horn is; to
be returned.
A story in the University of
Washington Daily for last Tues
day states that the horn, stolen
from the Oregon rooting section
last Saturday at Seattle by a
group of Knights of the Hook,
has been mailed to the Sigma Nu
house, who own the instrument.
The leturn of the noise-maker was
"requested” by the Washington
student president, Gaynor Langs
dorf.
Although the horn is supposed
to have been sent south Monday
or Tuesday, it had not arrived last
night, according .to members of
Sigma Nu. However, George Sta
dleman, president of the fraterni
ty, received a letter yesterday
from the Washington chapter,
stating that the return was prom
ised.
Oregon students will remember
the horn as the source of the aw.
ful noise at the rally before the
Washington game, when the band
and nearly everything else was
drowned out by the raucous tones
of the instrument.
A momento of war days, when
it was used in the trenches to
warn doughboys of gas attacks,
the horn has been in the posses
sion of Sigma Nu for several
years, and was resurrected for the
Washington fray. Probably it will
be heard again.
