On the Chin
TT’S all over now. Oregon has had her face slapped and can
do nothing but turn the other cheek. The Webfoots must get
along without Joe Lillard, negro halfback, for the rest of the
season and fpr all time. Faculty athletic representatives from
the ten member schools in the Pacific Coast conference, meeting
in special session in Portland Thursday night, “lowered the
boom” on Lillard.
He played semi-professional baseball under an assumed name,
did Lillard. But what about star athletes in every other school
on the coast? They have played just as much semi-pro ball,
too. The conference’s “gentlemen's agreement” countenanced
this, however, and will continue to do so in the future. Oregon
was "on the spot” for a beating, and got one.
The whole Lillard case Is one that the Oregon student body
will be long in forgetting. No formal protests, just snoopy in
vestigations. No action on other schools at the same time, but
sudden discrimination against Oregon. One Jonathan A. Butler,
commissioned to make a year’s investigation for the conference,
took matters into his own hands and gave out his findings a
year ahead of time.
We never will see any justice in "Czar” Butler's action.

Hypocrisy in World Affairs
■OY a vote of 13 to 1, the League of Nations council voted
Thursday to allow the United States to participate in the dis
cussion of measures to bring peace between Japan and China in
Manchuria. The lone dissenting nation was Japan, objecting on
the judicial grounds that America, a non-member of the league,
had no right to participate in the peace parley.
The outcome of the difficulties of China and Japan in Man
churia is of interest to the entire World. War between these
two nations could conceivably plunge the whole world into^an
other disastrous conflict. As one of the leaders in world affairs,
the United States should be able to do much to promote peace
between the disagreeing nations, and a representative in the
council will unquestionably wield much influence.
But there is some justice in the contention of Japan that
America should not be represented. The United States has never
been a member of the League of Nations or the permanent court
for international justice, better known as the world court. Res
ervations laid down by the United States senate before entry
is possible in either one have been such as to make them im
possible ol acceptance by member nations. The attitude of the
United States has been that she wanted nothing of international
entanglements, and that arbitration of her own affairs should
be at her own discretion.
Events have shown that membership of the United States,
as a world power, is essential to the success of the League of
Nations and the world court. The new development is only fur
ther testimony of this fact. No matter how the United States
may seek to maintain a hands-off policy in affairs of Europe
and the Ear East, she cannot hope to succeed. International co
operation is necessary for tiie maintenance of peace and pros
perity. It is to the interest of the United States to take an
active part, in peace conferences of the importance of the one
meeting in Geneva at the present time.
Perhaps no step could be more important towards the estab
lishment of world peace than the entrance of this country into
the League of Nations and the world court. Certainly no other
thing i an remove the stamp of hypocrisy from the Kellogg
Briand pact for the outlawry of war.
WITH OTHER EDITORS
V NOKli AN \ssl >11.1) NAME
Joe Lillard, Oregon':; colored
halfback, is not to be allowed to
play football or any other ganu
in the Pacific intercollegiate con
ference any more. HE H A S
PLAYED UNDER AN ASSUMED
NAME!
Presumably the crime consisted!
of Lillard's touring with a semi
professional colored baseball team j
last summer, driving their bus !
filling in for some youth who did [
not feel up to the game. Lillard j
has never made any secret of these!
daeds. The University of Oregon
has never tried to cover up th -
situation. It is the tuyere sort of|
thing that scores of coast i olleg.-.
athletes have done summer after
summer though not with colored
teams.
The action has been taken after
a dramatic session at Portland.
After the first five hours, the
meeting voted to take no action
in the situation, presumably be
cause the expulsion of Sir. Lilian!
might open up a lot of dynamite
for all concerned. The president
of the association tendered his res
ignation which, however, his loyal
colleagues could not find the heart
to accept. The meeting adjourned,
because in order to get real busi
ness done, it is often necessary
for meetings to adjourn. When
the meeting reconvened, there
were enough votes to put one
player under the ban. It was Lil
lard.
Thus the governing body of a
great collegiate association. One
day before most of the important
games of the season. Without any
statement as to who preferred the
charges. Without any statement
as to the specific nature of the
charges. With full knowledge that
no matter what .he may have done,
Lillard’s conduct has probably
been no more “professional,” es
sentiall;', than that of most of the
star players on every team in the
conferen :e.
The meeting lacked the “what
it-takes” to put any life in the
anti-professional ruling which has
been nullified by common consent
under the notorious “gentleman’s
agreement.” It has no program
for essential reforms beyond a
system of systematic snooping. It
has merely demonstrated that
when it wants to, the system can
“get” a particular team or a par
ticular player.
The methods of the University
of Oregon athletic management
are no better nor any worse than
those of the competitor schools.
The Oregon management frankly
does "what must be done’’ to meet
the competition. The faculty lead
ers dream just as fine dreams of
athletic purity as are dreamed
elsewhere, and they are just as
helpless as other faculties against
the pressure for winning teams
which extends from freshman to
board members.
We will be disappointed if Ore
gon "squeals.’’ We will be disap
pointed if the team under Dr.
Spears does not go ahead with or
without Lillard and give valiant
account of itself.
Standing on the sidelines, we
have the right to make a frank
comment (especially since we are
on record previously). Intercolle
giate annals are pretty black but
they have never offered a more
flagrant example of hypocrisy and
utter cowardice. Between a col
ored boy who has played baseball
“under an assumed name” and
those who pretend to uphold vir
tue under the "assumed name” of
sportsmen, the colored boy is our
choice. Eugene Register-Guard.

Is there any connection?
I noticed that the log muscles

huge masses as it they took a ten

distance they live from the campus
have any bearing on this ?
I noticed a numbe. of tree.

was informed that they were shoe

I hope, with better success.
