itx TB came through in the pinch.”
.H. Everyone on the campus and, for that matter, all over the
state, Knows who we are talking about, but few of the persons who
have been talking about the showing made by William ’’Choppie”
Parke in the crucial game against Oregon State Saturday know much
about the man who carried the brunt of the Oregon attack.
Parke's chance came as a result of circumstances which resemble
those in many of the so-called "thrilling football novels.” In the short
space of one week he came up from the hard-working, unsung third
team to win a berth on the first team. When he received the chance
that every Oregon football player longs for to start the annual game
against Oregon State Choppie showed the stuff his stocky 150-pound
frame is made of and he CAME THROUGH IN THE PINCH.
Doc Spears moved Choppie up to the first team because he still
had lots of pep after tagging along on the third team all year. When
it was ascertained that Captain Johnny Kitzmiller could not play,
Spears started rebuilding his backfield, hut even then Parke was not
considered capable of holding down a first-string berth until Spears
sent him into the regular lineup in one of last week’s practice sessions.
Choppie made the most of the chance and sports followers around the
state began to inquire as to ‘‘who this follow Parke is.”
Anyone who witnessed that great game played in I he mud of
what was once Bell field in Corvallis Saturday will have a world of
praise for the showing made by the Oregon team. Rated as the under
dogs because of an injury to their leader, the Webfoots put up a fine
battle against the Beavers and it whs the breaks of the game that
counted.
We are not thinking of an alibi the Oregon State team was
superior Saturday and the Staters were a hard fighting, well-coached
eleven, with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They made the
most of their opportunities and they played their gest game of the
year.
Doc Spears used nil of the strategy and tactics he lias obtained
in his long coaching career but it was Oregon State’s day to win and
it was a fine victory for the Orange and Black team. Oregon put
up a fine game under the conditions and it was no disgrace to the
Webfoots to lose to the Beavers Saturday.
Every man on the Oregon team, like Parke, was giving his best.
Players like George Christensen, Austin Colbert, Jerry Lillie, and
Marion Hall, wiio were facing the Orangemen for the last time in
their college football careers, turned in fine exhibitions, but every man
on the team will forget his own part in the game to praise the play
ing of Parke. He was fighting as hard as any Oregon player to win
the game, he didn't make one mistake, he was the fire of the Oregon
attack, he received a near record-breaking number of punts in one
football game in the driving rain and with the ball tys slippery as
mud and rain can make it. He was Hit hard, many times he was
smothered under an avalanche of Oregon State players but he always
came up with determination on his face.
He was playing like a veteran giving his best to Oregon in his
first game and under the most nerve-racking conditions.
May Students Ask ?
JUST who may criticize student activities? May the students them
selves?
After the Daily Californian, student paper of the institution which
so recently set a now conference record by losing to U. S. C. by 74-0
in a football game, asked twelve questions implying' that its football
organization might well bo investigated that question was debated
up and down the Pacific coast. May "students criticize student in
terests?
Forgetting that the easiest method of putting the Californian to
shame would be to answer the questions in negation of the Cali
fornian's implications, sporting editors in sister schools and in metro
politan sheets denied the right of the paper even to ask them.
Oregon is surely more than satisfied with this year's record under
its new coach, Clarence Spears, but as a school it might also be inter
ested in the denial of its right to say anything about that record.
As surely as a school has not the right to concern itself in defeats,
no school has the right to concern itself in victory. Oregon, then,
could no more praise its coach thai California could censure hers.
Oregon, too, could no more appreciate President Hall's national
position among educators without violation of these sports-editors'
bounds than could the Stanford Daily ask how long it is to be without
its President Wilbur without being laughed at by President Hoover.
If Coach Price and Coach Spears, President Wilbur and President
Hall can stand upon their records, their only duty is to answer student
questions. But Oregon need ask no questions.

The University of Washington Daily hurls a missile al the women

Couple of students down the aisle. Well, it looks like other schools
are having the same trouble in creating action and interest during
football games.

At U. C. L. A. interest in one of their pet traditions is waning.
No longer, says the California Daily Bruin, do students support the
custom and sing heartily in classes. A sorry predicament to be sure,
but might we suggest smoking in classes as a substitute?

Library Obtains
Five-Volume Set
Books Tell of ‘Interstate
Commerce Act’
Five volumes on the "Interstate
Commerce Act, Annotated," com
piled by the Interstate Commerce
commission under the direction of
Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison,
were recently received by the Uni
versity library, according to Don
ald Erb, of the political science
department.
The set is a monumental refer
ence work containing a minute ex
amination of the acts controlling
interstate commerce in the United
States. Mr. Aitchison, who holds
an honorary master’s degree re
ceived at the University of Ore
gon in 1917, and who is an honor
ary member of Phi Beta Kappa,
scholastic honorary, worked on
this compilation for three years.
It is the most complete reference
existing on the subject, and it is
now catalogued in the library for
use of students of economics and
faculty members.
Mr. Erb has a duplicate set of
these volumes in his office, sent to
him at his personal request.

•FLIES AND RESTAURANTS
To the Editor:
At all the restaurants about the j
campus and most of those down
town flies crawl incessantly over
the food on the table, and they
must be worse in the kitchen. I
fight off from one to six every
time I eat. This filth is as dan
gerous as it is disgusting. If the
managers cannot do better, they
might hang swatters on nails

To the Editor:
An editorial in the Journal of
November 5, 1930, states that Ore
gon produces and sells 7,000,000
boxes of apples yearly. Yakima
valley produces and sells 6,400,000
boxes, and Wenatchee valley 7,
600,000 boxes. The average price
the Washington orchardists re
ceive is $1.25 to $1.40 a box. The j
Oregon average is about $1. The
advantage >n favor of Washington,
the Journal declares, is due to
advertising.
Taking these figures to be cor
rect, Oregon is losing about
$1,750,000 per year because she
does not advertise. Is this be
cause her apple growers do not
have the money? If this is true,
can they not borrow money from
our banks at a reasonable rate of
interest? It has been proved that
there would be a substantial re
turn. The risk would not be so
great.
Suppose, for example, that
$1,000,000 was borrowed for ad
vertising purposes. Counting out
$60,000 for a 6 per cent interest
on the money borrowed, Oregon
ians would still have a profit of
$690,000 over and above what they
are making today.
I do not wish to knock but I
would like to become informed |
through your columns why such a
condition exists, if it really does.
If Washington can afford to ad
vertise and profit by so doing, why i
cannot Oregon ?
Very truly yours,
CARL R. THOMPSON.

'Geographically Oregon faces
West.” he says. "It is cheaper to
3hip to most of the distant foreign
countries than to Chicago and
Dther eastern points in the United
States. In the latter centers, Ore
gon goods, after paying heavy
transportation charges, come into ]
competition with strongly en
trenched industries in their home
territory.
“Oregon’s position for carrying
on foreign trade is an asset to Ore
gon industries not only because of
accessibility to foreign markets
but because of access to such for
eign raw materials as may be lack
ing here. We lack for example,
coke for iron and industry, but
this can actually be obtained
cheaply from foreign countries via
the port of Portland. Iron, which
is now obtained mostly from Utah,
can be brought in cheaply from
Europe and India.
Two Rare Books
Given to Library
Murray Warner Adds to
Potter Collection
Two rare books of the 15th cen
tury have been added to the Paul
ine Potter collection of beautiful
books. These books were given to
the library as gifts by Mrs. Mur
ray Warner, director of the Fine
Arts museum.
“Popular Explanation” by M.
Lunigi Lipoman, Bishop of Mo- ;
dene, is the title of the first book, j
It gives two sermons written in !
Latin, with the printing charac
teristics of the 15th century Latin
type, "Credo” and “Pater Noster.”
This book was printed in Venice
by Hieronymus Scot in 1541. It
is bound in full red Morocco leath
ei of the 18th century. The bind
ing is decorated with the coat-of
a.rms of More Foscarini, a Vene
tian Doge who lived in the 17th !
century, and to whose library it j
formerly beldnged.
The second book is the "Royal
Almanach for the Year 1776,” ed
ited by Ann^fe Bissextile. This is
also written in Latin and bound in
red morocco with gold hand tool
ing. It bears the coat-of-arms of
Louis XV of France.
According to the style of tooling
and endpapers the binding should
be attributed to one of Derone’s
bindings of the famous family of
French 18th century binders. It
has an engraved plate of M.
Thierry De Villedavroy.
These books are in perfect con
dition due to preservation.

Linklater Finds
Scotch Students
Business-Minded
An education in Scotland is not
what it is here, to judge by pas
sages taken from a letter received
at the business ad department
from Kenneth Linklater, ’31, a
business ad major.
Apparently the Scotch are a
thrifty bunch, despite rumors to
the contrary, for he says:
“There is certainly a different
attitude among the students here
than at home. All business and
nothing else. None of them are
going to college just to be going,
and they all take their work quite
seriously.”
On the way over he quite evi
dently pulled a fast one on the
cook’s steward and the fishes, for:
“I then had the good fortune to
be in a wonderful storm on the
’Statendam’ (which ranks next to
the Leviathan), but it was tossed
around like a cork.”
Linklater, whose father is a
graduate of the University of Ed
inburgh, is planning to return to
this country next year and get his
degree from the University of Ore
gon.
