A Coast Championship Looms Tfc^OLESKINS and helmets have been put away; Hayward field is quiet; the locker rooms at the Igloo no longer re sound to the shouts of the gridsters. King Football has abdi cated, and in his place Basketball, crown prince of athletic sports, prepares to reign. When Oregon closed its 1931 football season Thanksgiving day, six Webfoot warriors were in uniform for the last time. Captain Irv Schulz, who led a great team through what sports writers delighted to call a ‘‘suicide schedule” and made an out standing record at it; Eric Forsta, Ed Moeller, Choppie Parke, Jack Erdley, and Henry Heyden—stalwarts all. Wc wish their last gridiron performance for Oregon could have been on the home field, so proper tribute could have been paid them. Looking back over the season, we cannot find praises enough for the Webfoots, Coach Doc Spears, Trainer Bill Hayward, and Bill Reinhart, Gene Shields, anil Jack O’Brien, other key men of the coaching staff. Oregon this year had team spirit—a vital izing force it has sometimes lacked in the past. That explained the fight, the determination, and success in a season when the Webfoots, a sophomore team, were thought doomed to he medi ocre. With fine material coming up from this year’s freshman team, mark our prediction—in two or three years Doc Spears will have a coast championship for Oregon. WITH OTHER EDITORS A MORAL QUESTION A startling bit of news comes from two universities on the coast in the fact that at Oregon State college due to the efforts of Presi dent Kerr and at U. S. C. as a re sult of efforts by the board of trustees, the daily papers on these two campuses are not permitted to run cigarette advertising. The reasons given are moral ones, where any reason is given at all. Students are permitted to read cigarette advertisements on bill boards, in magazines, and practi cally every other place but in the student paper. A trifle absurd, but nevertheless carried out at two of our major universities. Cigarette advertising is a large item in every college newspaper. In most it means the difference between profit and loss. These two papers are running heavy losses each year and because of a stand taken by administrative officials. There might have been some reason for such an attitude twen ty or thirty years ago, but in 1931 it is somewhat behind the times. Smoking as a moral question went out with petticoats and the tandem 1 bicycle. California Daily Bruin. Mr. Average Man Thinks Well, it looks as though colleg iate (semi-pro) football had got through another season without serious damage. Those who see clearly the moral effect of the sys tem are making last efforts to pre sent the situation to the public be fore football goes out of the public mind till next fall. Radio minister and philosopher, Ernest Whitesmith, of Eugene, suggests that the lethal minded gangsters and bootleggers of the nation be utilized as football play ers. This would serve the dual pur pose of giving the gangsters some thing less important to fight about and of allowing the colleges their cut into the public's purse, he says. * * * Is there anything two people can say to each other this week besides “dija have a good vaca tion" or “harye” or maybe a semi intelligent "sure cold, isn't it?"'.’ There's nothing more unsatisfac tory than to stand and exchange such utter banalities with u fellow student. College students seem to have acquired the habit of being afraid to talk for fear of being ridiculed. New and different ideas from those taught in fraternity bull sessions are frowned upon. Let’s have a revival of intelligence. The lower animals have brains enough to learn things by role and repetition. » * * Oregon’s Pacific Basin debate team has received wide attention for its utterancej in Australia. New Zealand, and the orient. Ra dios broadcast and newspapers play up their most casual utter ances, Which all goes to show the re gard in which the United States is held by the rest of the world, espec ially the regions included in the tour. What a responsibility this country is facing as the most pow erful, anil richest nation in the world! The average man wonders if there isn't something to this non partisan policy of the United States. As long as we remain out of the league (European dictated) and refuse to recognize Russia neit her Europe nor Asia dares of fend us. * * * Well, here we are going into the last two weeks of study before fin al examinations. It’s a question just how much of that coating of hastily applied information re mains after it is scraped and raked for the ‘’finals.” Not a great deal, probably. And then who knows whether lie got the answers right or not. “Fooey. what a life!” Renigging and backtracking seems to be popular these days. We note that Register GHarder W. M. Tugrnan ba ieally contra dicts his opinion: of a week ago on the rotten football situation by giving the Webfoots a column of praise in his Sunday writing.

Dear Aunt Eppie: I don’t know what I will do, Ep pie, old gal. Here it is two weeks from final exams and I don’t know which way is up, in fact I don’t know which way I am going. I have been writing to the folks and telling them how smart I am, but actually I couldn’t pass a fifth grade spelling contest at the pres ent writing. What shall I do ? Jack Lumber (W—). Dear Jack: In a case like this you might go back to the grade school and get a fresh start (but this time look out for a dame with a baby stare.) This method isn’t so hot, so I will let you in on the ground floor, (maybe even the cellar.) There is a boat leaving Portland for Man churia next week. Jack, old boy, TAKE THAT BOAT. Frankly, Aunt Eppie. THREE IN INFIRMARY The Thanksgiving turkey appar ently produced few casualties this year as there are only three, Adel bert Aldrich, Donald Goodall, and George Lenn in the infirmary.

In addition to getting a partner “by chance,” both will be admitted free upon presenting the matched cards at the Colonial box office Wednesday night. No jokers are included in the sets, reports the theatre manage ment, who expect the game to be all the rage until all pairs have been mated. The theatre refuses responsibility for any steady dates occurring as an outcome of the match-making game.

ILLINOIS WATCH Never before have such wonderful bargains been offered as you’ll find in the new ILLINOIS "Greater Value” Watches. Each one an accurate, dependable, lasting timepiece. Cases of highest (juality. Men’s strap and ladies’ ribbon styles. Gome in and see them. SKEIE’S i Are they as good as when the ruffles came down to the ankles? Good? . . . You bet they are! Maybe the girls are even better. Anyhow, cigarettes are a whole lot better. No doubt about that. They used to be made by hand— Now if s machines; no hand but yours ever touches them. They used to be packed in expensive, highfalutin’ cardboard boxes— Now the quality is in the cigarettes. The U. S. Revenue Tax used to be a penny a package of twenty— Now if s six cents a package of twenty. Tobacco used to be dried by air— Now Liggett if Myers alone has thirty five drying machines of the latest type, with a daily capacity of over2,000,000 pounds—and over four miles of ware houses for tobacco storage. Better—they’re miles better! Everything used in the manufdcture of Chesterfield ciga rettes is the best that money can buy or that Science knows about. Chesterfield tobaccos — both Turkish and Domestic — are mild and ripe, the best that money can buy. And the way Chesterfield tobaccos are blended and cross-blended is like making a S new and better-casting kind of tobacco, with f| greater smoothness, more mildness and a \ more pleasing aroma—a fragrance and flavor . not to be found in any other cigarette. 4! Chesterfield gives you the benefit of all the world knows about the production of better cigarettes. Nobody smokes a better cigarette than Chesterfield. O' L.'gcftt i M’ltxi Tobacco Co.
