But flint isn’t nows. Oregon luts lost ninny such {tamos, and wo risk violating no libel law by predicting they will lose more. Wo are used it, it—especially when the opponent is it California team. But wait; we’re not playing a game of hot-fool with Tex Oliver, nor are we attaching any significance of defeat, to the mastery of Oregon's coach. Nor are we going to blacken the hearts of those players who served under Oliver. The “Oregon is doing Places” policy, to which we heartily sub scribe, will meet sure demise upon such sophomorie charges as have been dished out to players and the coach in past years. First, without eloquent phrases that might place us in the apple-polishing, or back-slapping category, we will get 1o the point—congratulations to Tex Oliver. • Secondly, 1o the cohorts of the gridiron who marched under the banner of Oregon's colors—-although backwards, sometimes—also felicitations.

The trail of forgotten and dehunked conches at Oregon is a long one; the wolves have trampled well the wilderness that fringes the trail. Oregon’s record of coaches in the In years preceding Oliver’s lirsl season is a sorry one. blight ed by alumni political pressure. It was a period of losing games and losing money, to say nothing of losing prestige. And with those losses was also lost the true spirit of sports manship which should have been dealt those unfortunate coaches who fell by tin' wayside. The causes, we may veil lure to say, sprung from the University of Oregon, ils stu dents and alumni. The effect was lb mark Oregon as a “coaches graveyard.” As such it remained, the tombstones reading with monotonous small-type: Maddock, Smith, Mc Ewan, Spears, (Tilliso11. Thus, when last year the powers looked around for some one to replace Prink Callison they fpund no huge list of big names, nor did they meet anyone of prominence who would risk what job he had for a dubious one at Oregon. True, many an eastern and mid-western coach would give his eye-teeth to break in the Pacific Coast conference. Put they looked at Oregon- and shuddered, “No thanks. >>!« & »x< ''JNEX Oliver also wanted to break in the Coast conference, and had done mighty well at the University of Arizona, lie knew, all right, that Oregon delighted in making its list, of coaches a list, of dead-eats. Put Tex was an ex-army man, and had made many a block and tackle himself on men bigger than him. It was a chance, and he risked it. Oregon, as usual, went hilarious with confidence and said. “At last it’s our turn.” Meaning to win. The genial Tex came and saw, and remained to conquer. In the lirsl couple of 19I1S games his team won games that were supposed to be tough and were. Tin* old Oregon spirit returned for the time being. Even sports-writers, those per ennial neophytes of the pen that writes color, joined in. “Rose-Bowl!” But, sadly enough, the wheel of fortune stopped. The Ore gon team telegraphed a pass-defense weakness clear across the country to Ford hum. Stanford had capitalized on it. Then followed Southern California, California, and Oregon State. Oregon managed to beat a stubborn Idaho team, and showed signs of greatness in downing the Wash ngton Hus kies who could complete only one forward pass against them. # * <s «■ J^I'T while fill this adversity was going on, while Oregon was called a “two-bit team,” a team “the bloomer girls of Mills college could beat,” and other dangerous epithets, there was something miraculous in the air. Not once did anyone cry: “(Jet a new coach.’’ There is the bright cloud in Oregon’s murky sky. To date Oliver has been l'etcd weekly, an organization of “Mon day Morning Ouarterbacks” helping him along sans criti cism, the student body displaying more pep and spirit than ever before under a losing coach, the alumni strangely silent about a new coach, the players out' hundred per cent behind him. Well, it \s a new thing to Oregon, this flavor of optimism and good-will, and it leaves a lot of people breathless. To no one but Tex Oliver can we give the credit, and we do so gladly. Oregon is not. and never was, a citadel of football greats, nor is it an athletic coliseum. It is doubtful if Oregon can afford a ltose Howl team it costs dough on the line to get the players. It is doubtful that next year's team will make the front pages of California’s newspapers with their genius, but remembering the few quarters of rough-tough football that Oliver’s men showed them this season, they may well beware. If anything takes them to the top it will lie because “Oregon is doing Places” with that admirable display of confidence and sportsmanship they have shown Tex Oliver. To Tex Oliver we give a 14-gun salute.— V.G, Finding a Misplaced Democracy 'T'TTE cause of student democracy is not n lost cause, lint. it is a rather well misplaced one. Tliis is not the fault of 1he present officials, nor of any immediate villians of the past; it is a cumulative fault that lias been "rowing on the campus for many years and for such a wide variety of rea sons that enumeration here would lie of little value. However, when by perchance, some "roup or individual rises and does a distinct service to the misplaced cause of democracy on the campus if is fitting that such service should he duly recognized. The executive committee, through their efforts to have Ihe complete constitution of the AKl’O put in printed form and distributed to all student body members, are doing one of these unusual good deeds. While it might seem inadvisable to congratulate them before their work has been actually accomplished, the pro gress Ihey have achieved to date and the assurance that their portion of the work will be completed at today’s meeting make felicitations timely. Then too, it is advisable, if their work is to be of any value, 1o give it all notice possible. * # * * rprrr, mere printing up of a constitution is not enough to locate the lost cause, although it should be a means of starting 1 lie search. While the executive committee by their action can be the leaders of such an investigating party, Ihey will be as lonely as Diogenes looking for his honest man, unless students will aid them. The cynics might say that what bothered Diogenes will bother the executive com mittee-in other words that people do not want to be demo cratic any more than they want to be honest. But those are the words of the cynics. They should be dispensed with quickly and banished to the dour gloom that radiates from them. There is a little bit of democracy in every man, a little more in every American, and there should be just an added pinch in every college student. Bv next term when the constitution and its maze of by laws have been printed and distributed, everybody will have bis lamp to start on bis individual search for the misplaced democracy. The executive committee will earnestly hope that every man lights it by reading the document they have provided. And the misplaced cause will perhaps be a little closer to being found. National Poll (Continued from page one) be written as unbiased as is hu manly possible, it was also stated. With the aid of statisticians at the University of Texas, a propor tional sample of college students has been determined from figures supplied by the United States Of fice of Education. Ballots have been carefully distributed accord ing to this flexible sample over a cross-section of colleges selected as members for their strategic lo cations over the nation and for their outstanding newspapers. Re sults of local interviewing will be mailed to Austin for tabulation. National results will then be sent to the newspapers. CHESSMAN TO ATTEND MEET Dr. L. S.
