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.

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

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.

Every good American loves good

that can be paid any individual in
a contest is the statement that he
showed good sportsmanship. Sir
Thomas Lipton. though he lost ti'

We have nrided ourselves that

arrived about 1 p. m. at the sta

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. I had come a
long way to see that game and I
had stood a long time in line to
get to the ticket booth. Should
I refuse to pay and go back? I
did not, to my discredit. I paid
