BEWARE, TROJANS HILE we anxious Oregon rooters grab anx VV jolisiy for newspapers to check on the latest thermometer readings from the sunny south, Cali fornia sports experts and football public are ap parently pooh-poohing the idea that the conference leading Webfoots might actually have a real foot ball team. The sports writers still figure that Ore gon is Southern California’s soft spot between the tussle with Stanford last Saturday and Notre Dame a week hence. It’s really too bad that the newspaper boys down south have erased Oregon from the list of Rose Bowl prospects- they’ll probably spend next Satur day afternoon drinking beer and writing about the “championship” game between California and Stan ford next week, instead of seeing a fiery, rejuve nated Oregon squad tear into the deflating Trojans. Golden State football writers have not been much impressed with the Green Tide for several years past. For some reason Oregon teams have consistently pursued a policy of making their most miserable showings in the biggest stadiums of Cali fornia, and the sun-kissed typewriter tappers have adopted an unwritten code that they must speak of Oregon only in terms of disdain- "green ele phants” was one ol the least offensive epithets ap plied last year. It really is rather a cruel joke on Southern Cali fornia, this powerful Webfoot eleven. The Trojans only put. Oregon on their schedule for a breather, just as Berkeley picked Idaho this week-end, and Stanford chose Montana. Even now, while Oregon is leading the conference, the southern scribes will not concede that Oregon’s team is of Rose Bowl caliber. Ignoring the possibility that the Ducks may best Southern California, the papers are argu ing whether Berkeley or Stanford should be awarded the Pasadena contest. But it’s fun to take time out from watching the weather reports to speculate on the consternation that will sweep the Trojan rooting section when their peerless kings of pigskmdom try to pierce that airtight Oregon line tomorrow. And we firmly believe we’ll have a chance to gloat a bit when tha.. mighty backfield quartet, Mikuiak, Temple, Parke and Gee, start hammering to pieces the complacent Trojan horse, just as it distributed the “iron im mortal” machine of Oregon State over Multnomah stadium last week. The Webfoots are out to win, and know for the first time that they can win. And they’re hoping that the Trojan players are as smugly overconfi dent as the California sports writers. A PROBLEM IN LOGIC WE’RE a little puzzled at the expressed opinion of a small minority of the state press that Dean Morse, as well as Chancellor Kerr, should re sign as a result of the current disturbance in higher education. The publications are almost unanimously agreed that Morse spoke the truth, and are convinced that Chancellor Kerr should resign: they readily concede the truth of the charge that Chancellor Kerr has failed to make a satisfactory administrative head for unified higher education; that he was selected under inauspicious circumstances and was even then involved in controversy; that charges of par tiality in the budgets seem to have a basis in fact; and that the subversion of faculty rights was un justified and apparently illegal. But by some strange theory of retribution the Oregon Voter and a few other publications believe | that because Dean Morse, as spokesman for the < faculty, told these things, ne is guilty of insubordi- I nation and must also resign. We are not logicians, but the line of reasoning seems a bit obscure, and we submit it for analysis: What Dean Morse told was the truth—yet for tell ing it he should be punished! WHITHER AUSTRIA? C'OR a decade or so the American public has been ** bombarded with “whither" books: “Whither Germany,” by Dr. Weisanheimer, and "Whither Russia,” by Professor Ivan Awfulkoff, and a hun dred others, including the whither of the ginfull youth of America. It would not detract from the merits of such a list at the present time to add "Whither Austria?” The peace treaties of 1919 and 1920 left Austria little more than a shell of the former glittering heritage of numerous Hapsburgs. But Austria s size is no index to her importance in the diplomatic game that is being played in Europe today. Hitler desires to add Austria to the New Germany, and many Austrians are not unwilling to form the “AnschlUss” with Germany. France is determined to prevent such an increase in German population , and resources. Mussolini, too, is not anxious to see a powerful Germany on his very borders that would beckon to the German minority in Italy. As a result Austria is cast in the role of the coy young damsel, with Italy, France and Germany as ardent suitors. Germany alternately cajoles and threatens; France tempts with loans; and II Duce attempts to draw Austria into close political and economic relationship with Italy. With Austria occupying the limelight, it is nat ural thaL her leading statesman, Engelbert Doll fuss, should be the object of considerable publicity. "Millimetternich” Dollfuss may not be as able a statesman as that great Metternich of old, but he is proving to be far from a tool in the hands of Mussolini, Hitler, or anyone else. Whither Austria? The answer means much to the peace of Europe. If Austria casts her lot with Germany a grave in ternational crisis is inevitable, and France migh. resort to war. And the answer lies in Dollfuss. So far he has rejected German overtures, has toyed with French and Italian proposals. But the final decision is yet to be made. Can he maintain iiis grip on Aus tria. and thereby maintain the balance of power in Europe? Nazi propaganda threatens to undermine him, but as 1933 draws to a close Dollfuss is stub bornly holding his ground. Reading Writing PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor Editor's note: To odd inter net in Book week, of which but two days remain, Reading and Writing today offers a book review by John Gross of “No Time Like the Present,” writ ten by Storm Jameson. npHERE are many approaches •*- which a reviewer may take with the view of evaluating: a book, depending largely upon the pe riodical, the reviewer, and, of course, the subject matter. Cer tainly, the esthetic is the most used, but “No Time Hike the Pres ent” is one book which defies cate gories. I was content to leave es thetic considerations in the rear as I read this book, (and t feel you willi for, although it is badly con structed and conceived with a somewhat artless matter-of-fact ness, it contains such passionate conviction and intensity of expres sion that few are the readers who will withstand its appeal. Whole paragraphs fairiy crackle with the sharp bitter action of the writer It is, first, a book about war, the biography of an age. If I were to tell you that it is an account of what the war has done to a gen eration and to an age, you would stop reading here; but first let me say that it is different different because l he opinions expressed are pis,donate conviction. Mis .Tame son retells no tales of po .t-war artistic London or runs, rates 01 which we have had so many. But she does tell opinions, which are mostly personal, with a force and splendor that make her terse style glow constantly with a strange beauty. As a result she puts to shame any number of popular cre ators of fiction whose understate ment is suddenly discovered to cloak, not emotion, but emotional sterility. Perhaps it is propaganda that she writes, but only as Carlyle was propagandist. These is a spiritual relationship between the English woman who could write in 1933: “This was a long time ago, and [ those who died are now nothing. Time passes, time passes. A new age will begin and the old will be forgotten ... It is true that I have never been able to hate the German airman who killed my brother as deeply, as unappeas ably. as 1 dislike the churches be cause they gave their support to the war. It is easy to understand their reluctance to disoblige their civil masters, and a social duty not to condemn individuals, but it would be impossible to give respect where it has been forfeited ..." I and the Englishman who wrote in 1S29: "The true Church of Eng | land, at this moment, lies in the | Editors of its Newspapers. These preach to the people daily, weekly; admonishing kings themselves; ad vising peace or war, with an au thority which only the first reform ers, and long-past class of popes, were possessed of; ... " True, it is a much bitterer Car lyle that writes today, but cer tainly no more bitter than the nine teenth ceotury crier-down-of-dooin would have been had he lived to sec this day and age. 1 like this book; it i une on i WlliCU ICVI«VVUI «•»* finitivc without fear of criticism; nay, by way of inviting criticism. One last quotation and we are through. “In 1932, what lying, gap ing mouth will say that it was worth while to kill my brother in his nineteenth year? You may say that the world's account is bal anced by' the item that we have with us still a number of elderly patriots, politicians, army contrac tors, women who obscenely pre sented white feathers. You will forgive me if, as courteously as is possible in the circumstances, 1 say that a field latrine is more use to humanity than these leavings." That is writing which 1 believe to be fraught with as much mean ing and pregnant with as muel real emotion as any of more recen' vintage. 1 like this book, but it may not like you.

On to the Rose Bowl By STANLEY ROBE i VICTORY BELL ■\ Rhodes’ Dream for Greater Men By ELINOR HENRY Cecil Rhodes made six wills dur ing his lifetime. The first five were Napoleon-like declarations of Anglo-Saxon world conquest. The sixth was a practical, less grand rendering of the same theme. It was in this last will that he cre ated the Scholarship Foundation. He gave an annual scholarship to each province of Canada, each state of Australia, to New Zealand, Newfoundland, Natal, Jamaica, and Berumda. To Cape Colony he gave four annual scholarships and to Rhodesia three. British colonies provided for, Rhodes thought of the United States, where the thirteen colonies, he was sorry to learn, had separ ated themselves from the mother country. Hoping to link by schol arly friendships what was divided politically, Rhodes ordered that two scholarships should be given tc each state, but that only one should be filled in any given year. Since each scholarship is good for three years, this statement means that each state may send a representative to Oxford in each of two successive years, but no qualifying examinations are held and no appointment is made the third year of each triennium. Rhodes never realized that this arrangement would give to the United States about as many schol arships as all the colonial empire combined. He supposed there were only 13 states, though he also mentioned territories in the will! A 1933 biography, “Rhodes,” by Sarah Gertrude Millin, found on a shelf of the Co-op rent library, is authority for this. “Smugness, brutality, unctuous rectitude, and tact,” these were the attributes required for a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, as defined cynically by the man who had taken a fortune out of the diamond and gold mines of South Africa. More mathematically, however, the requirements sound more flat tering. The will specifies these: Thirty per cent for literary and j scholastic attainments. Twenty per cent for fondness of and success in manly outdoor sports such as cricket, football, and the like. Thirty per cent for qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protec tion of the weak, kindliness, un selfishness, and fellowship. Twenty per cent for exhibition during school days of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates. * * * It is amusing to read Miss Mil lin's comment: “It seems not to have entered his mind that he him self could never have won a Rhodes scholarship: he was noth ing of a scholar, he was nothing of a sportsman, he lacked most of those qualities he lumped under ‘unctuous rectitude,’ and there is no evidence that he ever led or took an interest in his school mates.” Yet from somewhere among the men who took his scholarships, the I founder hoped another Rhodes i might come.

Colonial "Be Mine Tonight,” Jan Kiepura. i_:_ By J, A, NEWTON Recurrent Melody In view of the quarrels picked | up through remarks on "Be Mine Tonight" which appeared heiei yesterday, I take this occasion to j say that it is a very good produc tion, and very novel. Jan Kieputa’s voice and the song “Love Me Tonight" stick in one's mind tike a burr in" wool. The wonderful scenery in and sur rounding 74ern. the setting of the piece, alone makes it worth one's | while. However, I reiterate that the story lacks continuity, and that I certain matters of technical im portance are inaccurate. It's good in spite of these things, though. See it. « * * Joan Crawford's worst show, "Rain." is being revived by the Colonial tonight and Saturday at an 11 o'clock matinee. Pass your own judgment. An English-made picture which seems to have been received favor ably without a single dissenting critical vote is "King Henry VIII." This show is coming to the Co lonial Wednesday. Art for Art's Sake Hary Green, the Jewish eharae * ter actor who ^>ok “Sweepings" light away from the veteran Lio nel Barrymore (though Lionel had ' a punk part), and who attracted 1 notice as Cdagaur in the movie ' version of "Once in a Lifetime," 1 got the part of the tailor in "This Day and Vge" because hr wanted it. This show is at the Mac. It seems Green asked for the - part, but DeMilie told him he’d , i have to take a reduction in his • u.-uaj .alar, be ausc the budge' for the production would only al low so much. Green, like a good business man with his nose, looked into the future and decided not to establish a salary reduction prece dent. So he and DeMille agreed for him to work for $1 (one dol lar) per week. And so Mr. Green has a good part in “This Day and Age.” Pretty good modern stuff. “Stage Mother” is a poor revival of the old mother story. Alice Brady seems to overdo a bit., and Maureen O’Sullivan struggles hard. Franchot Tone gives a good characterization as an artist. WILLARD MARSH GIVEN FIRST PLACE IN CONTEST (Continued from Paijc (hie) selves to the true situations to avoid being known as "calamity howlers.” Depression Discussed “In the period before 1929, mor als went down, skirts went up, and stocks went up; following 1929, skirts went down; prices and stocks went down; and morals stayed down." This was Robert Coen's clever statement in regard to the depression in his speech en titled: “We Always Come Out All Right.” Coen argued that the op timism of American people and their leaders will be its salvation ; from the present depression. The three contest winners will receive prizes of $15, $10. and $5, 1 respectively, through a fund that , Mrs. W. F. Jewett has provided for 1 the contests in honor of her de ceased husband, W. F. Jewett. The after-dinner speaking contest is one of four Jewett speaking con tests scheduled for this year. The contest judges were John L. Casteel, director of speech; W. A. I Dahlberg. men's varsity debate coach: and Wallace J. Campbell, former varsity debater.

Maybe Master Dance is cynical on Innocent Bystander, too. As for the girls who date money and cars, they win our greatest envy.

Stanford Savant i Startles Students With Big Outburst At a recent lecture on Renais sance background of the Shakes pearean drama, Stanford students were startled to hear their Phi ^ Bete English professor score so rorities in particular and herd in stinct and foolish females in gen eral. The spirited professor thun dered, “You silly females . . . you come here for a sorority, so that you can marry something in a fra ternity. See what I mean by be ing brought up like herds of cat tle? Go to a house and you’ll be that way early! Far better to be lonely in a dormitory, than to rush into the wild hysteria of the soror ity, and follow the herd. When you’re in a house you'll see what it’s like.” Every phase of the problem came in for consideration: “You sorority women will have the pleas ure of having a number of addle pated alumnae—who can never think for themselves—to associate with in later life." Defeats Schmeling by Unfair Methods.” Neuberger later found out, on his return to New York, that the fight was clean and that 1 Schmeling himself praised Baer’s sportsmanship. In conclusion Neuberger says: “If his (Hitler’s) methods win, they will have succeeded for the first time in history. In the past they never have been tried on the ■ same scale.” 3I315J5JSI5ISJSJ3I5ISJSJE!iS1313f3®51SI3®SI3®E;| Now Is the Time TO PREPARE YOUR CAR FOR WINTER DRIVING FIRESTONE FIRESTONE Heaters Anti Freeze Hot Water Type Lasts All Winter $6.95 Gal., $2.65 ALL WOOL AUTO ROBES Full Size, $2.98 -t-t Trade in Your Smooth-worn Tires on FIRESTONES Firestone Service Stores INC . 11th and Pearl —Member NRA— Phone 220 31BISM3ISiSIBMBIBiSI313f3ISJSJSISlSlSI51B15I5I3fSH31SISI3I3J3l5JSlSI5I5ISI3I3ISIS Do you get hot and bothered?
