HONORS COUNCIL WILL
WORK IN DEPARTMENTS
(Continued from rage One)
tutors much credit on their teach
ing load; and- students who under
take it all too often find that they
have taken on Honors in addition
to the other University require
ments. But the Honors work is
slowly shaping up into something
which the Council hopes will prove
of genuine significance in the in
tellectual life of the University.
For students who are shrewd
I enough to take advantage of it,
and who are at the point where
they can work on their own, it
offers a chance to escape from the
educational automat system of
elective odds and ends which all
too frequently is the best they can
do under the old system. At least,
by choosing one variety or other
of Honors, they can achieve unity
and continuity in their courses for
the latter years of their college
work.
In a sense, the Honors students
represent a college within the col
lege, pursuing, it is to be hoped,
liberal arts studies with something
of the same zeal, though not with
the same immediately practical
end, as students show in the pro
fessional schools. Why should not
students who are vitally interested
in academic work have at least
as much special attention as ath
letic shock-troops and the high
power Boy and Girl Scouts who
run the activities? The motor
minded can say with Aeneas,
thinking of their college days, “Of
these things I was a large part’’;
but the true student, who has felt
and thought his way through a
field of learning, can say of his
studies: “These things are still a
part of me.’’

Closely Contested Struggle
On Tap as Old Rivals
Tangle in Seattle
The University of Oregon Frosh
are back at the practice grind in
preparation for their game with
the University of Washington
Babes to be held this Saturday at
Seattle. Although the yearlings
showed a powerful machine last
Saturday night against the Rooks
there is a number of things to be
corrected before this second test,
the Babes.
Fortunately, the Frosh came
through the battle without any
serious injuries to any of the men, |
A number of them have minor
bruises received while in action
last week but every man will be
fully recovered and ready for the
fray by Saturday. Clarkson, who
was out of the Rook game with a 1
leg injury, will be ready to gallop
against the Babes from Washing
ton. Incidentally this lad is a Seat
tie resident, so should feel right |
in his element during this coming
conte’st. Clarkson, a halfback, is'
rated the best ball toter on the j
squad. If he is better than Pepin- 1
jack. Brown or Parker, then Calli- ;
son has nothing to worry about in
regard to available backfield ma
aterial. Parker was little known
before the Robk game but after
it was all over everyone was won
dering where this “dark horse”
came from. The other backs men
tioned have received advance pub
licity but this lad came along un
heralded and proceeded to play
two quarters of spectacular foot
ball.
The University of Washington
freshman football team is busy
preparing for their annual combat
with the Frosh. They are still
stinging under the impact of the
trouncing they received last year
here at Eugene when the Frosh
outclassed them 25 to 6. As big
brother does, so does lifTie brother,
this is true when considering the I
two schools, namely the Univer
sity of Washington and the Uni
versity of Oregon. It is a foregone
conclusion that the varsity game
will always be a “bear” because of
the intense rivalry between the
two schools. The first year men
seem to pick up this feeling with
out any urging, and this year are
primed to carry on where the var
sity left off. They have their work
cut out for themselves because the
Babes are out for revenge and with
the added confidence of playing at
home expect to trounce the Frosh.
The Frosh, however, have another
answer as to the result.

IN THE PRESS BOX
with Walt Baker —■ —
HE Oregon Frosh
squad, fresh
fro m adminis
tering a lac
ing to the O. S.
C. Rooks, will
find that they
have what prob
ably what will
be a much tough
e r battle o n
their hands this coming Saturday
with the University of Washing
ton Babes. Whereas this seems to
be Oregon State’s lean year when
it comes to a Kook football team,
the Babes at the northern school
have plenty of first year men that
may come close to putting the red
light on the advances of the year
lings.
Art Clarkson and Cotting who
played high school football in Seat
tle will have a chance to show the
home-town folks what kind gf a
team they turn out down here. As
if one drubbing isn't enough for
the University up there. Perhaps
the Frosh v/ill make it two straight
over the Babes. You’ll remember
that when the Babes came down
here last year, the Frosh led by
Mark Temple and Joe Lillard ran
up a 25-6 score. This week-end in
Seattle, it is the fond hope of the
rest of us down here that we won’t
run into any wailing protests about
illegal passes, and other referee's
decisions.

ON LILLARD FROM
THE SOUTH
From Hal Fraundorf, who grad
uated from Oregon last year and
is now working down South comes
the word, substantiated by a news
paper clipping or two, that that
part of the country is more or less
burned up about Lillard. Take a
look at this bit of comment from
there—"The Derailing of Midnight
Express Lillard” of Oregon was as
hypocritical as a wine brick. It
shows Pacific Coast conference to
be a medley of chicanery, urbanity
trimming and nonsense. It is fun
nier than “Gandhi in a dress suit.”
And so that is that. He also goes
on further to inform us that the
Oregon cause was appreciated by
most of the “common herd"—that
is, the rank and file of football
fans that stand on the outside of
the pale of officialdom; and that
the Butlerization of football is
practically a very white elephant.
* * *
COLONEL BILL ON SICK LIST
It seems that Colonel Bill Hay
ward, who is acting in the capacity
of trainer for the varsity back
East is having a little trouble with
his own physical condition. Dant's
wire from the East informs us that
Bill was feeling under the weather
during the first couple of days of
this week but that he's back on
his feet by this time and ready to
whip the squad into shape for the
game next Saturday. It would put
Oregon in a deep hole if Hayward
could not be on deck to lend a
helping hand in the conditioning
of the boys this week. With a lot
of sore shoulders, weak ankles,
and miscellaneous injuries, the
Webfeet will need all ..the attention
that they can receive to iron out
the effects of last Saturday's fra
cas with the Nodaks.
* * *
THE RADIO SITUATION
KORE will as usual broadcast
the wire reports of the Oregon
N. Y. U. game next Saturday--and
will be the only radio station in
this part of the country to get it
on the air. It's rather a bad sit
uation—in fact it’s terrible, when
the high-power statioils in Port
land, two of them, will broadcast
the same game at the same time,
between a Washington team and a
California team, while an Oregon
team is playing, 2,000 miles away
— and not a word. That happened
last week-end and from all that
we can find out, such will be the
same condition this week-end.
How do they get that way? Does
n’t Oregon’s football prospects
rate even a broadcast when they
go East to play one of the most
headlined teams in the country?
Is a Harvard game of as general
interest in this part of the coun
try as a native team? We’ll have
some more to say tomorrow when
we’ve collected a little more dope
that's coming in.

HISTORY OF INSURANCE
TOLD BY PROF. CLAIRE
(Continued from rage One)
a price upon the life of a freeman,
which is above all price.” That
was also the practice in France.
In view of this, the first at
tempt to establish life insurance
in the United States seems inter
esting. It was made in 1760 by
a mutual benefit association of
Presbyterian ministers.
Insurance was not at first com
mercial in nature, finding its foot
ing in social, religious and benevo
lent societies, as early as third
century before Christ, among the
Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus and
Greeks. The germ of the mutual
association goes back to Greece
and Rome.
Marine adventures after the
Middle Ages were the cause for
the development of marine insur
ance. Today, in England, most of
the risks taken are of this nature.
In 1666 London was swept by
the great fire and plague. After
1681 fire insurance was a growing
business.
Not all branches of the eco
nomic world can boast of such
ehapee beginnings as can the in
surance underwriter, in looking to
Lloyd’s Coffee House on Tower
street.

Yeomen Triumph
, Over Phi Psi in
Final Swim Meet
Intramural Championship
Goes to Victor by
Score of 30-11
By JOE SASLAVSKY
The Yeomen are the intramural
swimming champions. They had
no trouble in defeating Chi Psi,
30 to 11, yesterday to capture this
title.
Two thrillingly close races in the
■10 yard back stroke and the 40
yard breast stroke featured in
what otherwise was a drab affair.
In the back stroke event, Sears of
the Yeomen and Graay of Chi Psi
came in neck and necH, Sears tip
ping the back wall of the tank
with his fingertips by the barest
fraction of a second ahead of his
opponent. The same thing hap
pened in th breast stroke event,
but the principals in this act were
different, Travis of Chi Psi nosing
out Kirby of the Yeomen by a hair
line.
Events Won Easily
As for the other events, they
were taken easily by the winners
in each. Privat of the Yeomen
took the 80 yard free style with
out much opposition. Sanford of
the Yeomen swam away from his
foes in easy style to take the 60
yard individual medley.
In the 120 yard medley, the Yeo
men swam the last lap without any
company because the Chi Psi an
chor man was disqualified for
"jumping the gun.” The Yeomen
took the 120 yard free style relay
in their stride.
The Yeomen overcame difficult
obstacles on their path to the donut
swim crown in the form of oppo
sition from the Phi Psis, Kappa
Sigs, the S. A. E.’s, and Chi Psis.

80 yard free style—Privat, Yeo
men, first; Gould, Chi Psi, second.
