Day Editor.Dorothy Thomas | Night Editor.Ted Montgomery Assistant Night Editors Louise Gurney, Katharine Patten, Jack Bellinger Let’s Be Hard-boiled AX/TTII Saturday’s stirring victory over the Oregon Aggies, Oregon wound up her 1929 conference football schedule with a record of four victories and one defeat. This is the best record that an Oregon team has made in many years, but there is yet one fly in the proverbial ointment—the overwhelming defeat by Stanford in the first week of the conference. There arc many reasons advanced as to just why Oregon lost to Stanford by such a decisive score, but the consensus of opinion is that the Webfooters were not yet in condition, whereas the southern team had reached mid-season form. It is a notable fact that Oregon teams of the past years have devel oped slowly, much slower than those of California. This line of thought brings up the question: Why play Stanford early'/ The fact is that the larger California schools have assumed an unfair and discriminating attitude toward the University ol Oregon and Oregon State college. .lack Benefiel, on returning from the conference meeting last December, stated that October 5 was the only date on which "Stanford would play Oregon be cause of a full schedule. However, the southern school did not hesitate to sign up Nevada, Idaho, and California Tech for mid season games. California, in a like manner, refused to play a game with the Webfoots on November 9 because of fear of the Oregon strength at mid-season. If Oregon had been able to take on Stanford some time after thp first of November instead of in the very first week of October, the story might have been different. It is to be noted that Oregon trimmed Washington by a larger score than did either Stanford or California, and it is to be, primped that the southern schools were both trying to win from 1‘flgshaw’s men. The only remedy for this situation is for Oregon to recog nize the fact that her teams develop slowly and to assume a hard-boiled attitude toward Stanford and California. If those two institutions refuse to give Oregon decent playing dates, cut them from the Webfoot schedule. Such a procedure may finan cially injure the A. S. II. (). to a certain extent,- but it will prove more satisfactory in the end. It is the desire of the Oregon student body that the team In* given at least an even break with tin* conference lenders and not snciifieed in early season games for the sake of a few extra dollars. Collegiate-ism on Decline "C'ROM another quarter eomes the cry for “more pep behind ■* the team.” Down at Stanford, where Pop Warner has de veloped one of the best teams be ever turned out, the student bucking lias been lukewarm. Said Pop, “Stanford spirit is not as good as it was when we had a losing team.” Except for the impromptu rally staged mostly by freshmen in front of the Ad building yesterday morning, the spirit which urged tin1 students on to yell for the football team was low during Homecoming. Oregon supports her winning gridstcrs with less vocal vol ume than when she had a losing team. Everything was set for a big fight Saturday. Rivalry between Oregon and Oregftn State was supposed to be at a fever heat on account of the blasting of the “O" and the painting of the Corvallis campus. When game time came, when the two teams trotted onto the field, there was a scattering id' applause, coming nowhere near the full-throated roars which greeted the Lemon-Yellow and Green teams of yore. Student bodies of today do not feel the urge of yelling at the least provocation. Euless there is something to yell for, some particular tense situation or brilliant play, Mr. Average Stude just sits and watches. Football lacks the wise-cracks that baseball has built up. Rivalry was considerably greater at the Frosh-Rook game Friday than at the big battle on Saturday. The yearling score see-sawed back and forth. Both teams played fast and rough, with plenty of spectacular football. No one had to urge the stands to veil. The game itself drew all the enthusiasm neces sary. Considerably more exhortation per capita came out of the townspeople in the stands than from the students. Quite naturally it is doubted that this extraordinary person age—the Oregon undergraduate is motivated by any feelings of loyalty, lie lacks it. in the old sense, lie has no such motivation making it necessary for him to root for the team. “Yelling,” as such, is being more and more relegated to the high schools, which are infinitely more “collegiate” in dress and actions than any college in the nation. When there is co-operation in university undergraduates it is an emotional co-operation. It is not' the loud-mouthed variety. After several narrow scrapes between passing ears and parked uutos on Alder street along “fraternity and sorority row” over the week-end, the thought occurs that it might not be a bad idea to widen the street and solve a lot of those traffic snarls. The wide parking spaces could be made into very usable street area. Alder street, as it now stands, is too narrow.

Sun Dial. 1 e Cash By MIKE GRIFFIN A GLIMPSE A storm swept through tine thick branches of the cedar, and whipped the slender limbs of the birch into a blurred swirl of white, indistinguishable from the soft, pelting snowflakes. The wind was not fierce, but steady, and lonely; the snow was cold and unfriendly, as it often is on dark nights, when there are few people abroad to enjoy its beauty. Stumbling along the path that now seenned vague and desolate, was a girl, with her coat collar turned up over her hat, and her body bent to shield herself from the wind. Across the street, not far behind her, was a boy, just as lonely, just as friendless . . . and they passed, within thirty feet of each other and made their ways down the street separately. When they had gone, the wind howled with even more loneliness than before, and the birch shivered, shaking snow from its branches. —G. M. She smiles at the moon . . .

G. fake th EX-VVIFE Anonymous "An ex-wife,” says Lucia, ."is a woman with a crick in her neck from looking back over her shoul der at matrimony.” Pat elaborated. "Ex-wives— young and handsome ones . . . . illustrate how this freedom for women worked out to be God’s greatest gift to men.” And in the last line is really what the book is about. Patricia proceeds to illustrate her point, and illustrate it well. There are men—and men -and men. Prin cipally there are two men. There is Peter who left her, and there is Noel whom she gave away. The rest of them are nonentities with who Patricia hopes to forget the first one who mattered—and does n’t until she meets the second. There is sophisticated chatter, there are aphorisms to be remem bered, and more to be forgotten. It’s an “I Confess,” all right but so well done that it doesn’t mat ter. The real beauty of the book lies in Pat’s sacrifices for the two men she loves. It is her love for these two men together with the sophisticated finesse of the au author’s style that gives the book the beauty of a classic statue. It is appalling to think how a clum sier artist, might have distorted it into a smutty cartoon. —J. C.
