Men must be at liberty to say in print what ever they hare a mind la say, provided it wrongs no one. —Charles Anderson Dana, New York Sun PLAY IT FAIR, PLAY IT S((IIAItE WHEN the one great scorer cornea to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.” That motto hung above the desk of William Wrigley, Jr., until he died last spring. Great lead ers of industry saw it when they came before Mr. Wrigley to discuss dollars and factories and poli tics. Rogers Hornsby, premier batsman, looked at it when he sat in the big chair in front of Mr. Wrigley’s desk and talked of baseball players and home-runs and winning pitchers. Through numerous successful seasons it was the motto of the Chicago Cubs, one of the nation's lead ing baseball clubs. The ideals it expresses have been the ideals of some of the greatest athletic teams produced in America. They were the ideals of Ralph Hill at the Olympic games, of Bobby Jones in his great golf conquests, of the late great Christy Mathewson, of U. S. C.. at Notre Dame last autumn, of the late Knute Rockne, of virtually every notable athlete this country has produced in the last 30 years. And they should be the ideals of two football teams that struggle on a field 40 miles from here Saturday afternoon. Victory at any price is not victory worth fighting for, and the young men of Oregon and Oregon State college should realize that before they face the kickoff. As ttie hours diminish between the present and the time when the old football rivals will square off Saturday, there is heard an ever-increasing under current of evil murmurs. You hear on one hand: "Yell, Oregon's going to win. Calliaon is going to run the first few plays over Davis, and by the time Oregon gets through piling on that baby, he'll be in no shape to kick any CO-yard punts.” And you listen and you hear more: “I've got an inside tip. Oregon State can’t lose. Mikulak won't last 10 minutes. Schissler has his men all ready to snap that fellow’s sore knee like a toothpick." Nice topics those, with their hint of crippling stalwart boys, possibly for life. Young men of Oregon, you don't want to win Saturday if Keith Davis, or Hal Moe, or Curly Miller, or Johnny Biancone have to be carried from that field on a stretcher to enable you to fulfill your desires. Young men of Oregon State, victory can’t mean so much to you that you will not hesitate to attain it at the expense of an injury to Hill Morgan, or Mike Mikulak, or Red Hailey, or Butch Morse, or Stan Kostka. What is going to take place Saturday is only a football game It is not worth even thinking about the possible chances of getting a rival player out of the game by deliberately crippling him. When an Oregon or Oregon State nmn sees an adversary carried out, his reaction shovdd be: "Too bad. This is his iast big game. I'd like to see him finish it." Sportsmanship is a wonderful thing. It is what endures when football and baseball and every other contest is ended. Men whose stiff legs never again will carry them through a crowded gridiron have taken away from the game something no one can take away from them—sportsmanship and the will to fight fair and square. So remember that, young men of Oregon and Oregon State. Victory to either side would be sweet as milk and honey Saturday, but victory at any price would be as tart as lime. Play a foot ball game, both of you, and the team that plays it better will win. * * * A man’s safety is worth more than every football game in the world. Because of that, all credit and praise to Howard Jones of Southern California for withholding Orville Mohler from further action, when that action might have meant the national title to Jones and U. S. C., but possibly death and injury to Mohler. If there is a p! -v ;r on the other team whom you must drub, put on the gloves with him and do it in the gymnasium. Don’t make a piled-up scrim mage, with the officials’ backs turned, your secret boxing ring. IX)! THE POOR CO-ED! THE CO-EDS of Ohio State university have been insulted. Oh! How they have been insulted. All other insults are as the hill to the Matterhorn beside it. Tt is the grandfather of all insults, the acme of all insults since time immemorial, since Adam was roving about the Garden of Eden, since Hector was a pup and even before then. For the co-eds of Ohio State university have been compared unfavorably to a cow. We have never seen the cow. It may be the most beautiful and magnificent cow in all the world, the most ex quisite bovine this side of salvation, but still we say the co-eds of Ohio State have been insulted. A contest was held on their campus to select the “loveliest girl” at Ohio State. And thereby hangs a tale. Some of the young swains of Ohio State had an idea, they manipulated the balloting in various dexterous manners, and lo! and behold! there was elected the “loveliest girl” in Ohio State one Madine Ormsby. Madine Ormsby happens to be a prize* cow. We sympathize with the co-eds of Ohio State. WHEN LINCOLN SAID IT “ . . . . that this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” \ ND THE multitudes of delegates, alternates, and spectators at the nominating convention of “The Phantom President” rose to their feet as one, cheering till the great auditorium vibrated. No doubt it aroused the same reaction at Chi cago last summer, at San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Houston, and the many other convention cities in former years. That expression obtained immortality when Abraham Lincoln first gave it voice some three score and nine years ago on the battlefield at Gettysburg. Now it is becoming hackneyed. Every political spellbinder thinks its use gives him a com mon tie with its originator. Every political gather ing takes it as a cue for “rah-rah boy” demon strations. It remained for George M. Cohan, in his pro | duction of “The Phantom President,” to show how inane its use has become. Cohan’s convention was a cross between a musical comedy and a medicine show. In fact, the nominee was a medicine man, chosen for his ability to get votes. Cohan used tactics not unlike those employed in the nominating conventions of the past few cam paigns. However, he went the political leaders one better by carrying the stunts to their ultimate. He made finished products of them. They were mas terpieces of musical comedy chorus work. And the queer part of it is: When Lincoln closed his great address the crowd did not cheer, it did not applaud, it did not even whisper. It stood silent in reverence. It was spellbound. !UII)-TEltM REVERIE MID-TERMS and their good and bad results are just about over. On the returns of these exams hinges the studying freedom of many under classmen this year. Because of smaller freshman classes, several women's houses have abolished study table and taken their pledges to the library or supervised study in their rooms. However, this freedom is threatened by mid-term grades. If they are good, the privileges continue. If they are low, study table and all its evils will return in full force. The advantages of the former system are obvi ous. Ready access to the library during evening study periods and complete freedom to study what you will when you want to and for as long or as I short a time as necessary are but a few. It seems a pity that over-social freshmen have to violate these privileges by going out on sneak dates and shifting their daily assignments. College students should have reached a stage of maturity where they would get their work without being driven to it by task-masters. BEEFSTEAKS AN1) I’OKHTOS IN A WESTERN city an anti-vivisectionist or-, ganizatlon recently convened at a beefsteak dinner, anil over the remains of what once had been a perfeetly-healthy steer, the kind-hearted people discussed ways and means to prevent dumb ani mals from being subjected to pain and torture. This is not a jolly scene, it vvilT be granted, but it is one equally as incongruous and paradoxical as many that confront us today. Human beings sel dom take into consideration the logicalness of what they do. Pacifists ardently seek out war pictures and enjoy them; Republicans hang pictures of Democrats on their walls, and vice versa. What a funny world, indeed, this would be if people were logical and reasoned everything they did. Why, where would politics be? And what would we say when a young fellow got $250,000 for eat tying around a pair of boxing gloves with which to buffet another young fellow for an hour. One could go on forever. It s a funny old world.

Apparently their hold on the pub lic was about as frail as the ladies pictured between their covers. In the funeral procession of the above publications come interest ing rumors that they were pub lished for a nefarious purpose other than making money. One such idle tale is that these bright stars in the tabloid firmament were supposed to have put such magazines as '‘Life” out of busi ness. “Life” goes merrily on, but the “Police Gazette” ceased pub lication several months back. Evi dently the new journals of visual education dragged their admirers from the wrong gallery. On second thought, though, not so-naughty “Judge” went into re ceivership and changed owners at the height of the Ballyhoo-boom. And we'd hate to think that “Judge” was a spiritual com panion of the “Police Gazette.” Well, Ballyhoo, Bunk and Hooey may have disappeared from the magazine stand, but when Con gress meets again in December their circulation rises to new heights. In a recent Emerald headline the first deck announced the winning of a high degree in mathematics i by a faculty member. The second deck announced the birth of a son J to the same faculty member. Question:. Is a mathematics de-! gree granted to any professor who can figure out a formula for financing a baby on the present salary schedules ? I’ve changed my mind about frosh discipline. Every frosh in school should be hacked on gen eral principles at the next session of the traditions committee. When I asked one of the bonfire execu tives 'yesterday when the work was to begin he replied, “Don’t worry about that. We'll let you know when your shift comes.” If my three-year-old cords hadn't been concealed under a table at the time, I might have been righteously indignant. Perhaps I should grow a moustache to avoid mistakes like that. Today’s simile: As blue as Hec tor and Henry on election night. Some needy student is overlook ing a rich source of revenue in the making of rubber stamps. Hundreds of harassed frosh would gladly put down two-bits apiece to have “Dept, of English" or “Psych. Dept.’’ stamped on mid-term grade cards somewhere off the campus. * * * Question: “Why is a mid-term grade like a straw vote?” Answer: "Because you have to chaff the prof to get a good one.” The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communications are to be ad dressed to the editor, Oregon Daily Emerald, and should not exceed 200 words in length.

Those Naughty Freshmen To the Editor: Each year some outraged and humiliated freshman raises a protest against the meth od of traditions enforcement on the campus. Changes have oc curred in tiie system but still the offending parties object most vo ciferously. Tiie Order of the “O" was accused of being an inhuman group of dumb athletes when it was enforcing traditions. The present accusers state that the members of the Senior traditions enforcement committee belong in high school and so it goes: each year bringing some new lamenta tion on the part of the freshmen who find themselves haled up be fore this august body. Traditions form an integral part of the University and in later years they are recalled with a feeling of reverence and respect. | How is it that eastern colleges have such a hold on their alumni?' Why is it that where ever gradu ates of those schools congregate the Alma Mater is spoken of in hushed tones? The answer is sim ple These schools are so steeped in tradition that the individual at tending one of them finds himself closely bound to the institution throughout his entire lifetime. Anyone who has strolled through old Harvard Yard can appreciate and understand the hold that in stitution has upon its graduated. The whole basts of this reverem Ual ttKhng is tradition and tliit little yard at Harvard is preg nant with ancient customs. These customs are all symbolic and have been handed down through suc cessive generations without writ ten memorials. Is it. then, that our incoming freshman classes do not feel the need of this background of tradi tion or is it that they do not feel the actual worth of such customs in their ignorance and bewilder ment ? The case of the freshman is not so hard. He is instructed in traditional lore at the first of the year and he knows what is ex pected of him. If he complies with instructions he will not have to face the big. bad traditions com mittee and he will not experience the smartening process on the “seat of his learning." The ques tion of “hacking” as opposed to reasoning with the offenders has been debated time and time again with the same conclusion: “hack ing” makes the greater impres sion. As we see it, the matter rests en tirely with the freshmen: they may avoid the “humiliation” of appearing before the traditions enforcement committee if they will bear in mind the traditions of this University of ours and adhere strictly to them. Uphold the tra ditions and the traditions commit tee will uphold you! Mahr Reymers, Willy Johnston. promenade by carol hurlburt /~|NE member of our clamoring public having asked us to write a column on some of the more subtle points of etiquette, we do hereby inscribe those details, which, if followed, will cause dis cerning persons to remark, “What charming manners!” Of course, I don’t pretend to be a second Emily Post, but I have observed that knowing what to do and when to do it constitutes just about the best means of “getting by” in this palavering world. * * * The other day Chancellor Kerr passed four co-eds smoking on the street outside Gerlinger hall. He was offended, as are most people, at the exposee. To offend, is usu ally to be discourteous, and in this case courtesy is the best policy. Besides, it isn’t yet considered feminine to smoke on sidewalk. * * While we are on this subject, here is another salient point: Co eds—don’t smoke in the rooting section at the Corvallis game. Our “sisters” at the state college aren’t allowed to: and for" other, more obvious reasons, it would be unwise. So use discretion. We are now entering upon the season of dances; and so we would say: Don’t wear formal dress for an informal affair. Formals were decidedly out of place at open house. They are decidedly out of place at an afternoon tea, campus custom notwithstanding. Formal dress should never be worn be fore 6:30 o'clock in the evening. It is customary when extend ing an invitation for a formal dance to first ask the guest infor mally. and, the invitation having „ ciT6L >/ near/y &s W. important as fj Lift I fOUR eyes are your future — have them examined every year ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ DR. ELLA C. MEADE llllillMIII been accepted, to send an engraved invitation. These invitations should always be answered, even though the words "please answer" do not appear at the bottom of the card. In fact, invitations should always be answered unless they are for a group affair such as a tea, when plans have been made for taking care of an indefinite number. * * * At dances every member of an organization should make it a point to speak to the patrons and patronesses. Dances with chap erons should be claimed promptly. One of the prize stories of dis courtesy is related by a faculty member who has acted as patron ess for a number of affairs. Upon entering, she asked where her hus band could hang his coat. "I don't know,' was the reply. "I’m not on the committee." * * * In entertaining sorority houses at dinner this year, some of the fraternity houses are making it a practice for an upperclassman to call for the house-mother and to take her in to dinner. This is a consideration which is greatly ap preciated not only by the house mother but by the sorority. After having had dinner at a women’s living organization, every guest should make it a point to bid the house-mother goodbye. It pays. It would also be clever for men to make their adieu before being requested to do so. But if none of you Joe-College Darlings need any of these words of wisdom, here is just one small bit of chivalry which you might j indulge in: Don't come up and hit a girl on the back, kick her shoes, l tweak her nose, or pinch her chin. Speaking from the feminine stand point: we hate such familiarity. Leave us at least a vestige of dig nity! Moonbeams By PARKS (TOMMY) HITCHCOCK VWELL, well. So they painted the “O” again. The frosh had better go on guard from now on. The old "O" looked pretty neat in that new tone of rouge.

It appears the Sigma Nus appropriated the place to throw a party, when a couple of Betas burst in. They almost had a fight, too, but the Chi Psis threw them both out. Nice work. Speaking of the Betas reminds us of the story on Biddy Thomas and the cook's daughter. And was his face red ? And. oh yes. Dirtysox Blanken burg wants to know why all good baseball players are bigamists. Somebody said becausee they al ways make two base hits or more. Figger it out. Richard (DocI Neuberger got so excited last night that he actu ally phoned a girl. It seems that the occasion was not only getting a letter from the good Dr., but also a missive from Westbrook Pegler (himself). When he saw the letter from Westbrook, he al most phoned two girls.
