Oregon Northwest Champion
'T'HEY’RE singing the praises of Dr. Clarence W. Spears and
his fighting band of Webfoots with renewed fervor over the
state following Saturday’s Homecoming clash, when the Oregon
eleven held a more potentially powerful Oregon State team to
a 0-0 tie on Hayward field.
Says L. H. Gregory, sports editor of the Oregonian: “What
Oregon has done this season is certainly a triumph of coaching.
Who expected Doc Spears to get that far with a lineup which
included seven sophomores or men in their first varsity season?
. . . Oregon wins the Northwest championship for 1931, regard
less of what befalls the Webfoots in their remaining two games
of a very hard schedule.’’
Of the Webfoot-Beaver game, the Eugene Register-Guard
comments editorially: “It was a magnificent contest between two
fine rivals. / Oregon, caiji be proud of the team that has fought
its way to the top through a heart-breaking schedule. It isn’t
powered for championship, but it has those qualities of spirit and
intelligence which make a team great against odds.”
Oregon, an untried sophomore squad, holds the mythical
Northwest crown. If the Webfoots bowl over the Uclaus, Oregon
will be in a Lie with Stanford for second place in the coast con
ference. Let’s go, Doc. Let’s go, Webfoots.
Needed — A Break
<<T ET’S give the band a break” is the plea of one of John
Stehn’s 72 pep dispensers who missed out on grandstand
seats at the game Saturday, got caught in the sudden storm in
the first half, and saw the rest of the game from a step in the
muddy aisles. Our correspondent’s lament brought no little in
vestigation on our part, for the Oregon band ranks high in our
estimation and we are interested in its welfare.
For the lack of grandstand seats the bandsmen have their
fellow students to blame. The graduate manager’s office set
aside, as usual, an ample number of seats in one corner of the
co-ed section. Ushers and rally committee workers, limited in
number, held the seats for the band for some time, but were
unable to stem the tide of co-ed rooters when they started a
concerted rush for the reserved section. Men rooters had usurped
part of the co-ed section, and the girls saw nothing else to do
but make a dash for the vacant seats.
Perhaps there were fewer seats saved for students at Satur
day’s game, although the section looked to be the same size as
usual. However, some students stood in the aisles and others in
the rear of the grandstand. The seats on the track might as
well have never been there for as vantage points from which
to see a football game they offered nothing.
Yes, the band did take a beating and we hope Saturday’s
experience will never be repeated. Men who devote their time
to building up the remarkably fine organization Oregon has
should not be subjected to such neglect by their fellow students.

WITH OTHER EDITORS
CRUSADIN'U COLLEGIANS
What would happen it' the edi
tors of The Emerald at the Uni
versity of Oregon, or The Barom
eter at Oregon State college, were
to demand an investigation of pro
fessionalism in college football,
threaten to expose it?
That very thing seems to be
happening in the East. Reed Har
ris, editor of The Columbia Spec
tator, has denounced professional
ism, offered to testify against it.
He has not been lynched!
Strange as it may seem, he has
had tenders of support from the
editors of The Cornell Sun. The
Daily Pennsylvanian, The Daily
Princetonian, The Yale News. Stu
dent opinion in those schools is re
ported to be badly split.
Is it an omen?
It isn’t so much “professional
ism” as it is hypocrisy that de
grades prevailing collegiate ath
letic practice. There isn't any
thing more wrong in paying a
young man to play halfback or
hurl the discus than there is in
handing him a fat cash prize for
proficiency in debate or writing
blank verse- if the athlete is also
a bona fide student, trying to earn
an education, willing to justify the
assumption that a college after all
has some scholarly purpose.
The danger in any form of or
ganized hypocrisy is that it always
leads to more hypocrisies. In ath
letics t Ire danger of prevailing
practice is that it kills the spirit
of the sport.
What would be the effect on
next season’s football schedules if
all schools were to agree honor
bright to tell how they are paying
various athletes, how much they
are paying each one and what he
is doing in the way of scholarship
j to warrant the assumption that he
I is a student in good faith?
Some people say the college
I spirit is getting jaded, ( We saw
'no evidence yesterday.) Mightn't
it he a good thing for college
sportsmanship to get back to the
| first rule of sportsmanship which
is, Tell the Truth?—Eugene Keg
uter-Guard.

1
fact, I struck the house as I failed
to make the corner and ended up
in my Bantam Austin oh the dav
enport in the front room.
To get back to the front of the
house. The crumbling walls are
painted a luscious Spea green, (the
idea is not mine. I got it from
one of the bros.)
From all I could gather, which
was little enough, and amounted
to only a few cheap knives and
forks and a twenty gallon coffee
urn, the members are a shy lot,
and scamper quickly to their re
spective cages whenever a visitor
is seen.
But, due to the fact that I en
tered through the front bay win
dow, and caught them, as it were,
by surprise, I learned a little of
their habits.
Firstly they were engaged in a
strange game not unlike billiards,
except for the fact that the balls
they used were square, were nicely
ornamented with dots, and instead
of propelling them with a cue, they
were thrown along the playing sur
face, which was easily distinguish
ed from the regular billiard table
in that it had no legs. In fact, it
was nothing but a blanket placed
on the floor.
The players arrange themselves
around the blanket on their knees
and one by one, take the balls,
shake them with weird incanta
tions, and hurl them against the
playing surface with a cheer.
Money is placed at various
points on the playing surface and
is moved from in front of one play
er to another, as in checkers.
They invited me to partake af
ter awhile and I joined in their
game. I was required to place
money in front of me at various
times and before long, I realized
that my money was all gone.
Ashamed to have been so fleeced
I crept out the back door and,
tripping over the Alley Oop house
that was lying carelessly in their
back yard, I stole silently away
into the night.
Yours very shrewdly,
Ethyl L. Cohol.
This is Hank de Rat, son of the
famous Cigar-face A1 Cornpone.
And here are some tidings to glad
den your hearts and loosen your
midriffs.
Hank de Rat Is coming back to
school again after an absence of
two or three years. We expect to
intercept some of his mail home
and will publish all that we can
get our hands on, so watch for it.

BAND DESERVES BREAK
To the Editor:
Tift' A. S. U. O. has $3,000 in
vested in 75 nifty new band uni
forms. These suits are made of
good quality cloth, but are not wa
terproof nor particularly suitable
to wear unprotected in showers
such as we had Saturday during
the Oregon-O. S. C. game.
For some undetermined reason
unless it was for the sake of 75
$2.50 seats, the band was given
ground level benches out in front
of the covered stands, and when
the rain started, the boys were
forced to retreat to the muddy
I aisles of the grand stand or take a
i good soaking.
Each member of the band is re
i
. quired to turn in his student body
ticket at the beginning of the sea
son, so that it is impossible to get
a reserved student seat, and after
spending nearly four hours march
ing and playing for "the big game”
of the year, he is given a seat in
1 the open behind a bench full of
players, from which he is lucky if
he can see the players’ heads, let
alone the ball.
Our band has worked hard this
year to make creditable showings.
Those snappy new uniforms will
■ look quite bedraggled after a few
more times like Saturday. Let’s
give the band a break—they de
; serve it.

BOOKS OF THE DAY
EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY
THE INGENIOUS MRS. WOOLF
“The Waves,” by Virginia Woolf.
Hareourt, Brace & Co.
There is nothing new under the
literary sun, say certain critics,
but the distinguished English
novelist, Virginia Woolf, belies
their words in her latest bit of
experimentation, “The Waves.”
Except for certain symbolical de
scriptions given at the beginning
of each chapter, this story is told
entirely through soliloquy. The
plan is original in the artistic form
in which it is presented if not in
its essence.
The lives of half a dozen per
sons are described from the
period of childhood to the time
of death. Each tells his thoughts
concerning himself, his friends, and
his surroundings. The value of
this style of writing lies in its
power to create intimacy with the
characters, and in this the writer
has succeeded. What nearly causes
disaster is that one can hardly
imagine a half-dozen normal
people thinking even subconscious
ly in such poetic metaphores as
do these persons.
“All Passion Spent,” by V. Sack
ville-West, reviewed in this column
last week, in which the latter
writer, a close friend of Miss
Woolf's, also uses the “stream of
consciousness” form of writing but
in more normal and intelligible
fashion. “The Waves” is interest
ing as a piece of originality but
unless you are fascinated by the
j workings of the subconscious
mind, it is likely that you will
prefer something more prosaic.
