BE AT THE STATION AT 7:001 THE Green warriors will early this morning be home from the battlefield of Troy, a bit bat tered and perhaps disheartened at the disastrous results of their invasion into the land of El Trojan. It has been easy to cheer Oregon’s football team this fall, with its astonishing record of eight straight victories without defeat or tie—it’s always easy to hail the victorious combatant, as he comes home dragging at his chariot wheels the spoils of triumph. But it’s not so easy to cheer the van quished warrior, for fairweather friends will desert the victim of fortune’s ill favor as rats desert a sinking ship. ‘ The faith of Oregon's student body is not of the fairweather variety, and we’ll wager that today’s early morning rally will be as heavily attended and the cheering will be as spontaneously whole hearted as in any rally this fall. For Oregon knows that it will have few more chances to greet the greatest team in Oregon history that a setback at the hands of the mighty Trojans is not a ca lamity, but a reverse that had to be expected in the course of an exceptionally successful season. Oregon has offered no alibis and has needed none. Every team strikes an occasional day when its plays don’t click, when circumstances combine to make the most desperate and stubborn resistance crack. Every team in the conference has had such days. It was just Oregon's turn. And even in defeat the Oregon team was a con stant threat, a charging, hard-hitting outfit that made more first downs than the winning Trojans. This morning Oregon rooters have an oppor tunity to show that their loyalty is as strong as ever, that they are proud of their gridiron repre sentatives, and are confident of their ability to come back next Thursday with a showing against St. Mary’s that will amaze the southerners and wipe out the sting of Saturday's defeat. Be at the station this morning, and give our scrapping players a roaring welcome that will let them know every Oregon student is behind them and just as proud of them as ever before. THE HAMS BOW TO THE BEAVERS S many Oregon students were gathered around ■i*- the radios at 11 o'clock Saturday morning as at 2 o’clock that afternoon for out of the other were coming welcome sound waves telling how Ore gon State’s orange-clad footballers were adminis tering a sound thrashing to the Fordham Hams, darlings of New York football fans. As many knuckles were tightly clenched in Eu gene as in Corvallis when doughty “Tar" Schwani mel, Beaver hooter, prepared the scenes for his history-making place kick from the 37-yard lino. From every fraternity, sorority and hall on this campus went up an involuntary shout of delight when the announcer cried ‘‘The kick is good!" And there was another yelp of relief and delight when the closing gun ended the game with the Eeavers still safely in the lead. It’s an odd sort of rivalry, this Oregon-Oregon State competitiveness. Pitted against one another on the athletic field, we are the most implacable of foes; but when one or the other is pitted against an outsider, the sympathies are all with the sister institution. The University, whose great team suf fered defeat, takes pride in the victory of another great Oregon team, and extends its congratula tions. JUDAS IN UNIFORM rpWO Portland policemen are awaiting hearing on the charge of shaking down for twenty dol lars a man they found driving while intoxicated. If the men are proved guilty, they will be sus pended or discharged from service. , The amazing thing .' bout the case is that both men have been found guilty of similar charges be fore, and have crawled back under the fence both times. One of them was discharged in 1925 for not arresting a bootlegger whom he visited, and the other was suspended in 1930 when he shook down a bootlegger for fifty dollars and appropriated his cargo. But-The first man was on the job again in less than three months, while the second was re stored to position in six days by the mayor. Now they have been caugnt again in the same vile act of extorting money by use of their posi tion. And if found guilty their wrists will be soundly slapped by discharge. How is such a thing possible ? In peace time, ‘an employee found stealing money from the firm is not only discharged but subjected to long prison sentence. In war, a soldier found giving help to the enemy, or deserting his cause, is shot. If the police hold no more responsibility to so ciety than soldiers, our sense of social values is badly warped. These men are guilty of betraying the public. We are constantly at war with crime, and accepting that fact, we can see no possible answer to the problem but to adopt military disci pline, military punishment, and military stringency in the treatment of our front-line forces, the po lice. How can we fight crime with a sword that is ! broken off at the hilt? How can we expect to bring 1 order when the guardians of the peace are worse than non-active, since we are lulled to false security by our faith in them ? There is only one answer to these questions' We can’t. But we can fight crime with the proper weapon; a strong police force under a set of rules with teeth in them, and honest men to hold them in iine. If the temperature falls to TO next Saturday in southern California, the Trojans will indeed be singing “Stormy Weather.’’ The University of Pittsburgh has been placed in one tali skyscraper. That’s our idea of real higher education. It isn’t the heat, it’s the humility. Contemporary Opinion In the Board's Hands rjsHE state board of higher education has decided -*• to hold a called meeting in Portland next Fri day to consider its obvious problems. By that time Chancellor William Jasper Kerr will be home from his sneaking engagements in Chicago. All mem bers of the state board have agreed to be present, for this decisive occasion. It is a time for everybody—legislators, partizans, and those directly concerned in recent controver sies—to leave matters in the board’s hands. The members of the board are familiar with every aspect of the situation. They are clothed with power to make such additional inquiries as may be required. They have authority to take whatever action is necessary. It is their responsibility to pass upon the complaints “which have arisen. Un less and until they fail to restore harmony in higher education it is not for anybody to say they will fail. There is reason to believe that the Oregon schools, instead of being in hopeless difficulties, are near the end of their troubles. Recent controver sies are only the culminating and inevitable conse quences of the troubles which have been going on for years. Certainly, it is no time to entertain re actionary or punitive measures. The experiment in unified operation has not yet achieved all it was intended to achieve, but, on the whole, it has been well planued, and it should receive the complete and impartial test which it deseives. One thing should be made clear to all the people of Oregon. At no time during the recent contro versies has the board's plan and the state's plan for unified and coordinated operation been chal lenged. On the contrary, in every division of Ore gon higher education there has been a conscientious effort to make a success of the new plan. Drastic departmental and personal economies have been accepted with good cheer. Severe readjustments of teaching and researches have been made without a wail. Faculty and student morale and achieve ment are the best in years. It is a time for looking forward, not backward in Oregon higher education. The issues are simple and well-defined. The next move is the board's. Mannequin By l’ATSY LEE i I^JANNEQUIN'S deepest sympa thy to B. Clark for his noble dash for the wrong goal line. He .seems to have become confused In the scrimmage, but let it pass. (No pun intendedi. Let’s get our premise straight to start with: B. Clark first de plores feminine foibles and then denounces Oregon men as "a pret ty sad bunch, also.” This leaves him safely on the fence, bless his little heart, with a contemptuous eye for the only two sexes we can possibly think of. This "coolie coal-pa: ser” gug hiu. gone past all bound;.. 1 lit in I ference was, what does B. Clark know about a coolie's morals, any way? Maybe the coolie is being misunderstood. And what will such damning slurs do to harmon ious Near East relations? In spite of B. Clark's abortive efforts to misconstrue the (al leged i rebuttal, we made it fairly plain that the "battle of the sexes", as Barney decorously puts it, is really a fifty-fifty proposition not only here, but everywhere. The gals who date the “broke col legian" back him up- no condem nation of the men implied. And the gal in the big blue roadster is still regarded as being pretty lucky. However, Innocent Bystander's naive conception of the co-ed giv I ing her all to the smooth collegian in the long Stutz roadster makes us wonder if he doesn't glean his lore from current collegiate mov ies. Look around. Barney. If you see any bloated plutocrats lolling around in their Packards, let us know! And for an Oregon coed to go around warbling "Toil me. honey, arc you making any money?" is like Diogenes looking for an hon est man. And looking and looking and looking. lOnough of this claptrap.' On to lingerie and form-fitting girdles. Mannequin recommends the bullet proof vest, and shatter-proof specs as what the wdl-drcssed columnist will be wearing this season As for you Clark, back to -our dirt diggiug: The Minute Men - - By STANLEY ROBE College on $20 a Year in 1892! XVT B. DILLARD, Lane county ” clerk, smiled reminiscently at the reporter. “Sure,” he said, “I went through the University of Oregon on $20 a year. Of course, I brought my food in from the ranch and my folks owned the , house where we batched so my relit was free, but that $20 bought all my books, a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, and what was left was my spending money. "There isn’t much to tell about it. My brother and I cut wood all summer in 1892 and our net profit was exactly $20 apiece, which was all the money we had to go to school. We cooked, ate and slept in one room on the upper floor of the Anchorage. Yes, it’s the same building —just a little new paint. “Once or twice a week I walked to the ranch and carried back a load of food. I suppose our cook ing was a little sketchy but we had lots of home made bread and but ter and plenty of milk and eggs. A small cookstove also furnished heat and twice a year we hauled wood to town to furnish fuel for it. We all took turns at splitting the day’s supply of fire wood. “There were a bunch of other fellows living on the top floor of the Anchorage in about the same manner. Homer Angell was there. You know him. He's been presi dent of the Alumni association and is now an attorney in Port land. M. M. Scarborough lived with us for a while. He is now a J doctor and chairman of the Massa chusetts board of ■health. Then there are A. B. Waltz, now a min ister, Charley Gilbert, and John Edmundson, who played football under Cal Young. “Recreation ? Well, there was glways that six-mile walk once or twice a week for supplies. Then there were the Laurean and Philo gean literary societies which held rousing debates once a week and fought intensely over school poli- j tices (and we took our politics mighty seriously in those days). The girls had a literary society called the Eutaxian. Once a month there was a show at the opera house but we were usually too broke to go. “It took me eight years, from 1892 to 1900, to graduate, because at that time there were no high schools and a four-year prepara tory course was included in the University work. Money was scarce and it was a long, hard grind but we had lots of fun and I have always been glad I went to Oregon.” W. B. Dillard has been clerk of Lane county since 1927, and was previously superintendent of schools from 1904 to 1911. He left for Salem this morning to audit the special session of the state leg islature as the ' representative of the Oregon County Clerks asso ciation. Innocent Bystander Ey BARNEY CLARK I U1V|AE WEST ” CHESSMAN, book Buddha of the Emerald, j is holding' out on her readers. Ned Simpson walked into the library I the other day and Peggy whisked | the book she was reading into her chair and sat on it, blushing a bright crimson. To dote her read ers have had no report on the vol- i ume. We are assured by compe- j tent observers that her blush al most rivaled in candle-power the one she produced last year when she walked into the swimming pool j room in Gerlinger on men's night.! * * * 'Eleanor Norblad, Pi Phi fullback, was walking down the drag with a friend the other night, trailed by our No. 4 spy, and was heard to re mark that, “I'm not wearing a pin now, but I will he this spring, as soon as my mad moment gets his.” This looks like a bad ease of counting your chickens before they are hutched. (We are very sorry, Eleanor, but it' you did not have the unpleasant habit of screaming loudly every time a Pi Phi breaks into this column we would not have printed this). * * * Headline from the Emerald: CHINESE THOUGHT TO BE SPEAKER'S SUBJECT MONDAY Evidently our reporters are afraid to commit themselves! * * * And here is a complaint from the Delt dive. Chuck Moore is howling loudly over the fact that Max “Dutch” Donnelly is sending postcards, arid not very nice postcards, around to all the sororities and signing HIS name to them. A very low trick indeed, and one we arc glad to expose. Moore is reputed to l>e working on an anti-toxin to be taken be fore every dose of Donnelly! * * * Miss Crane, Romance languages specialist, produced the following gem of advice, which she offered to her classes: “If you want to hear some good French, see the Worst Woman in Paris."

I arrived about 1 p. m. at the sta dium and took my place in line two blocks back front the ticket booth. The announcer was direct ing the crowd through the mega phone and telling' the prices cf admission. General admission was SI 00 plus 10 cents tax for stand ing room only So far so good. As I moved forward in line I was continually met by "scalpers” who were selling their tickets to the eager fans who feared they might be denied witnessing the contest. In some instances three times the regular price of admis sion was obtained. This did not look so good, for “scalping” is prohibited at many of our larger institutions. 1 excused this prac tice that day, as never before had a crowd been so large that, the stadium would not accommodate it. Finally I reached the ticket booth with SI.10 in my hand ready to secure my ticket but was told 1 must pay $1.50.
