THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Any team that completes 17 of 25 passes must be dangerous. And don't let anyone tell you Stanford isn’t. They may have dropped two games in a row, those charges of Tiny Thornhill, but they’re tough just them same, and they’ll give the Webfoots plenty of battle this weekend at Palo Alto. Stanford’s loss by an inch to Washington State is a bad omen. The Indians, needless to say, were a bit riled over some officiating which called what they thought were a couple of touchdowns no dice. Whether Referee Bobby Mor ris was right or whether he was wrong, as some of the boys seem inclined to thinjr, is neither here nor there. The Indians lost and they’re sore. So what ? So they’ll be difficult customers to handle down there Saturday. Losing to Santa Clara, 13 to 0, and then to Washington State by the aforementioned inch or less hasn’t served to put the lads in any gentle frame of mind. Dick Reed, Oregon’s end coach, scouted the Pullman game, and he doesn’t think Stanford will gain much through the Webfoot line. The Indians didn’t make much pro gress through Washington State’s forward wall. But those passes! All the redskin backs chuck the swineskin through the atmosphere, Reed says. Glenn Hamilton (no relative of Bones) is a passing whizz, an$ so is a young man by the name of Vigno. Then there's little Jimmy Coffis, who is more or less the spearhead of Mr. Thorn hill's attack. And there are other backs who can pass and plenty of ends and backs who can receive. Therefore the Webfoots must withstand a heavy aerial barrage Saturday. With that barrage in mind, the Duck backs are spending practice hours on defense against imagined Stanford heaves over their heads. Before you do too much worry ing about that Stanford passing, here's something which may not harm Oregon's cause. The report is out that Mr. Glenn Hamilton, the sprightly young gen tleman responsible for completion of a lot of those 17 passes, won’t be there this week. Hamilton, a la Bud Goodin and Joe Huston, has a knee injury. But the Stanford powers that be say he’ll be ready for the Southern California game two weeks hence. Evidently they're not worrying about Oregon. Well, maybe they don't need to, but we've a sneaking suspicion . . . Yes, yes. and Hamilton, plus Bill Paulman, who's out for all season, aren't the only Indians who won’t be around Saturday, if reports are true. Pop Grant, a tackle, has a shoulder bruise and will also be saved for the Trojans. Six Stanford players were “iron men” against Washington State, so the Indians don’t need too many ball players. The men who stayed in there all the way were Claude Calloway, the big tackle; Joe Clark and Grant Stone, ends; Leo Ferko, guard; Louie Tsoutsouvas (whew!), center, and Joe Vigno, right half. Only three subs in the entire ball game. Short shots . . . Speaking of in juries, Washington had ’em ibut now hasn’t ’em . . .

Kennedy1, Lacau, Nicholson, and Braddock played in the backfield for the defensive team in yester day’s practice, trying to intercept or knock down passes tossed by Blackman, Lasselle and Gammon. Nello Giovanni, slated to take the place of the injured Huston, backed up the line for the defen sive squad. Indians Are Strong That Stanford is strong this year despite reports showing that the squad is not equal to that of last season is very evident from the fight that the Indians gave the powerful Washington State team last week. Glenn Hamilton, no re lation to Bones Hamilton of last year’s eleven, was uncovered from the ranks of the incoming sopho mores, as a passer extraordinary. Observers of the Cougar-Indian tilt were impressed with the ac anracy of his long throws and the speed of his shorter tosses. _____ [ YViatrack, first string center, are okay now . . .

Call 1654-R Optional ROTC Debate (Continued from page two) who so effectively wrecked the stu dent body governments at our lead ing institutions of higher learning by a similar “optional" move la3t year. With this in mind, and know ing that under an optional-pay ment system they have talked against the purchase of student body cards, knowing of their ef forts to tear down campus tradi tions of a character-building na ture, and of their vicious attempts to influence uninformed minds with propaganda concerning the mili tary course, it is only natural to suppose that they will do all they can to discourage the unsuspect ing freshman from taking the course, should it become elective. We know this to be true both from their own admittance and from ev idence shown by their actions in persuading freshman not to sign up for the required subject. Therefore, instead of allowing the student a free choice as the bill so misleadingly states, he would be subject to many sorts of scares and intimidations by this group whose aim is to abolish all military de fense. This group’s past actions and present aim foretell this con clusively. Mr. Handsaker also makes the observation that—“any Oregon boy wishing military training can re ceive it through the Oregon na tional guard,”—which no doubt is true, but he is only stating a “half truth” when he fails to add that an Oregon boy wishing the training of an officer must have more than what the national guard can offer, He further states: “If he wishes to be an ordinary dirt farmer there is no military requirement; if he wants scientific training in farm ing he must get it along with the ‘bayonet drill'.” In this Mr. Hand saker has hit the crux to the situa tion and exposed the fallaciousness of his arguments. If this country is to be defended properly, and Mr Handsaker appears to desire this then it must have the future lead ers of its citizen soldiery prpoerlj trained. National guard training woulc probably be the extent to which ii would be possible to train an or dinary, patriotic, dirt farmer—but one who is preparing to be a leader in scientific farming must possess the qualifications for leadership. If he has these qualities of leadership he will probably be found in the school offering this training to leaders of the state. It is only logi cal and practical that such leaders should be trained to be officers, and that those who do not attend, to offer them training through the national guard to be soldiers. This explains why the two largest schools in Oregon have been sin gled out to offer the required offi cer's training course, because it is felt that in these two schools will be found, if any where, the real leaders of our state — both in times of peace and' war. Knowing the weakness of their argument, our opponents have re sorted to that old “communist trick” of appealing to emotion rather than reason. May I point out some of their maliciously in genious phrases: In the above quoted paragraph, Handsaker uses the words “bayo net drill” when he knows full well that such has not been taught in the schools since the war training period. He uses the phrase, “peace time conscription” when he is aware of its inappropriateness to the present situation. Even the words “compulsion, compelled, compulsory, peace, and freedom” are in no way connected with this matter. The above, in the main, explains why the legislature and state board of higher education have refused to change the status or presentation of the course at the insistence and agitation of these 10 or 12 stu dents. The insincerity of the opponehts of the present system of military training is no better exemplified than in their total lack of consist ency. They use the Universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota as exam ples of the “perfect system of elec tive military training” and then turn around and post pictures of i these same shools showing the ■ “glorification of militarism,” and Law Students Hear Prominent Lawyer B. A. Green of Portland, one of the prominent labor attorneys of the Pacific coast, addressed law school students at a conclave held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. Green’s talk was given un der the auspices of Phi Delta Phi, law fraternity. The fraternity has arranged for a series of lectures to be given in the law school through out the year by prominent mem bers of the legal profession. Mr. Green presented the point of view that a different set of stand ards is applied by courts when questions of property rights are brought up for settlement than those applied when the courts have under consideration cases involv ing human rights. He contended that protection of human rights should be paramount in the law and urged upon law students the need for the members of the legal profession to become more con scious of its social responsibility. attempt to illustrate in these pic tures that at these schools, mili tarism, jingoism, and extreme pa triotism are being inculcated in the students’ minds. Furthermore, the universities are five times as large as our schools and by reason of size are not comparable to the sit uation. A careful observation by the readers of their arguments will reveal that their quoted statements were made 6, 10, and 16 years ago and are not at all applicable to the present situation. Further more, they misconstrue statements of famous people and of official personages to fit their viewpoint and arguments—that is to say, all of us are opposed to conscription but not all of those they quote are opposed to the present required military course in the schools of Oregon.
