Anyway It Was a Good Start
that it is all over with, at least, for
another year, it should be safe to draw
breath and compliment rooting sections of
both Oregon and Oregon State on their after
game behavior. They stood in tlie stands as
per schedule and sang their school songs while
a motley collection of high school youths and
other trouble-borrowers started the fireworks
on the field.
True, there was a considerable skirmish,
and the original pre-game campaign called
for better trcament of the field itself; actually
the turf looked like a marquee on bank night;
but the point that makes this concession ac
ceptable is the time element—the crowd did
not arrive until the goal posts were already
down and the hazard from their falling re
moved.
It took plenty of self-discipline to keep
those two crowds in the stands even that long
—the one resurgent in spirit after a harrow
ing victory, the other stung under a narrow,
heartbreaking defeat, watching its goal posts
go down. The organizers of the pre-game
campaign for sanity had their reward in the
control of the student bodies. It was neither
Beaver nor Webfoot who first toppled a goal
post : instead it was noted that one of the ring
leaders was conspicuous by a two-stripe
sweater lie wore bearing a big red block
“1’.” Others were obviously non-college.
« * *
’yyilAT happened 1o the serpentine sched
uled for immediately after the game
remains a mystery; certainly not even the
nucleus of such a stop-gap ever formed, al
though 1 he bands blared like merry-go-round
organs for half an hour after the game was
over.
Advance urging in favor of common sense
after the game was more by nature of an
experiment than anything else. Never before
has it been so emphasized as it was this year.
Of course it was not a complete success; that
is too much to expect the first year of trial.
Hut that it did help to keep whole skins would
be hard to deny, and if it only served to keep
1 he; respective student bodies intact until the
first danger from falling, splintering posts
it justified itself. It was not nearly as deadly
as t wo years ago.
It should be a reasonable conclusion to
assume that any pre-game pneifistic efforts
were far from in vain, regardless of what hap
pened Saturday.
George Bernard Shaw in Johnson Hall
QEOROE Bernard Sliavv, whenever lie has
written anything, has always managed to
incorporate into his works far more by impli
cation Ilian perhaps any other living man.
Not only that but he gets over bis point in
such a manner that the .Shavian wit is known
1 he world over.
Shaw himself' needs no (|iia]it'iea1 ions other
Ilian that he is (I. IS. S. Everyone knows the
rest. Accordingly, wlmn 1 he University I hea
ter presents a Shavian play i! has undertaken
something which is bound to he more than
worthwhile. And Thursday ibegins a run of
“Anns and the Man,” a long-time Shaw fav
orite, on the 'Johnson hall stage.
One thing about most of Shaw’s pbiys
which makes them demand careful handling
on the stage is their philosophical character.
If the full force of the work is to be fell the
thing must be letter perfect; even then much
of the punch does not come with the first
viewing; it gets deeper each time. Shaw him
self has the knack of making one very un
comfortable about many aspects of contemp
orary civilization; his views have been applic
able for nearly three generations. This trick
of pointing a merciless finger at unsuspected
parts of the human backyard makes every
Shaw play meaty, salty to I he core.
# * #
VX/CI1KN a Shavian play takes place any
where it is at once a treat and a stiff men
ial workout. Once a Shavian point lias been
grasped it is never to be forgotten—it just
can’t he gotlen away from. If is this prospect
which is open in these parts, beginning Thurs
day. “Arms and the Man” itself may prove
more timely than its quiet approach implies,
if one is to remember the proximity of real
war in linropc and only a few hundred miles
to the north in Canada. In “Arms and the
Man” Shaw ?urns the spotlight on war on the
“he who fights and runs away” basis . . .
the live coward as opposed to the dead hero.
(ieorge Bernard Shaw on the stage of
Johnson is something which is perfectly in
keeping xvi111 the best principles that go to
make up a university. It is brain food, and
brain food is what there is need for these
days more and more brain food. The theater
group is to be commended for bringing this
within reach.
Chances Against Winning Football Pool
Great; Hitler Deal Changes Collegiate
Opinion Toward Red Russia, Says Poll
By ASSOCIATED COLLKUIATK PKKSK
The first three months of a new school year
should be joined Into one month to be called “Foot
ball,” for this is the season of the year when the
gridiron sport rules supreme. Reigning supreme
light along with it is the football pool and col
legians and non-collegians by the thousands arc
spending thousands every week in them.
Editorial campaigns are beginning to appear in
many college newspapers against these rackets,
and we pass on to you the particularly timely
advice from the Northwestern University Daily
Northwestern:
"Perhaps you’ve heard that it’s pleasanter (and
cheaper!) to learn by another’s experience than
by your own. Take the advice, then, of luckless
students who in past years have dropped their
hard-earned dollar in the football lotteries racket.
You can’t win!
"The odds stacked against you are five to ”f»
times the odds conceded on the ticket. That’s a
tremendous profit for your bookie right there.
But even should you hit the jackpot, the chances
arc excellent that you couldn’t collect, l'rnfc
sional gamblers have a way of vanishing into the
atmosphere when a 'sheep' happens to crack the
odds. Send the tempter , on their way!”
Red Russia, long a subject o| collegiate .-I udy
mid undergraduate l>ull-e<’ssinns, i , no longer m
good standing with thr student body of the t'. S.
The ileal with Hitler seems to have changed the
opinion of the majority, and editorial writers in
the college press warn that all nations should keep
a close eye on the U. S. S. K. in the future.
Here's how the West Virginia University Athe
naeum puts it: “The alliance between Germany
and Russia is merely one that benefits them at
the moment. With objects attained they will start
again the work of spreading' their doctrines and
villifying' each other. With borders side by side
neither will be at ease, and will be fearful of the
other’s aspirations of domination."
The Cornell University Daily Sun secs the new
situation as a distinct gain for Mr. Stalin: "Stalin
stands to gain everything and to lose nothing by
a general European conflict. For a clash among
the powers will so weaken both opposition to the
totalitarian states that Russia will be able to step
in and expand her claims to the south and to the
we t. it seems as if the nations continue their war
march, Stalin will triumph in the end. Much as the
vulture tnuinphs ... in the end."
Rut. sa\ ; the University of New Mexico Loho,
"there'll be plenty of high horses to get on in the
next few month.-- without our getting on our high
horse about Russia. \ k your old pappy and he'll 1
tell you that the most valuable thing you can
lr irn i how to stay out of other people's scraps.
You can have a l it of experience and still never
know

gan on the ^campus last night.
OSC students descended upon Eu-1
gene in 1937 on the Monday fol
lowing their football triumph over
the Webfoot squad. An afternoon
of mill-racing, a battle featuring
dggs and ripe fruit, and similar
frowned-upon activities brought
newspaper renown all over the
country.
Actual Homecoming weekend'
events on the campus were
marked by a lack of the expected
"vandalism,” with no fierce at
tacks made against the camou
flaged guarding of the "O” on
Skinner’s butte, where sandbag
dummies rested before a bonfire
throughout the night. There was
little after-game disturbance.
Goal Posts Assailed
Although Oregon’s goal posts
fell earthward as soon as the fi
nal gun went off, most of the at
tack was handled by a group of
grade school boys who dashed
from the end zone bleachers.
Referring to the movement to
avenge the Webfoots, State’s pres
ident, Dr. George W. Peavy, said
that he had “hoped” the campus
had reached the place where it
was able to take these things in
its stride. But I guess I'm mis
taken,” lie added.

Mail
Two Prizes Slated
Dear Editor:
What’s the score on the
homecoming sign contest?
In the Emerald of November
4 this statement was made:
Prizes will be awarded the two
best displays during intermis
sion of the homecoming donee
Saturday evening. Then again
on November 10: Last year the
Thetas Chis won in the men's
division, and tops among the
sororities was the Alpha Gam
ma entry.
From this and general opinion
it was concluded by students
that one prize would be awarded
to the men’s organization with
the best sign, and another prize
to the women’s organization.
Now since the announcement
has been made, the Theta Chi3
have definitely won the men’s
award, but what about the wo
men’s prize ?
In the future, if there is to be
but one award and that one an
all-campus prize, it will be ex
tremely difficult to get the sor
orities, girls’ co-ops, and the
girls’ dorms to compete. I think
it is conceded that the boys
have a definite edge on the ani
mated and mechanical signs.
What about it? Is anything
to be done?
A Sorority Girl

Ans.: Ask Bob Corby, sign
contest chairman.

CAA requires a minimum of thirty
five hours for course completion,
but the average time before the in
I, -■ ■ '' —'
structor gives his OK is about
forty-two. Up to fifty hours flying j
time will be allowed to iron out
whatever kinks may develop in the
individual's flying technique.
Safety is the dominant factor
stressed in the course, both to the
pilot and people on the ground.
Strict regulations apply whenever
a CAA flight student has a plane
in the air. Under no circumstances
will he be allowed to drop material
from the plane, carry explosives
of any nature, or fly below a speci
fied altitude. Failure to conform
to regulations will result in the
student’s license being revoked.
Oregon's flying school, under the
jurisdiction of the civil aeronautics
authority, is superior to ordinary
flying school courses, Mr. Spencer
said. Instructors, equipment, and
studies are selected with great care
and are subject to rigid inspection,
with attention centered on the in
dividual rather than theoretical
problems, he stated.

Jamaica Inn
Charles Laughton’s portrait
of hawk-nosed, knob-topped Sir
Humphrey Pengallan is the big
thing about “Jamaica Inn,"
billed for the McDonald start
ing tomorrow. Sir Humphrey, a
squire whose domain was a
bleak section of Cornish coast,
had a taste for horses, per
fumes, and pretty women. On
the side he wrecked ships for
booty. The booty provided more
horses, perfumes, and pretty
women.
The production was filmed in
England and joins the talents of
Leslie Banks, Roberts Newton,
and Emlyn Banks, besides in
troducing Maureen O'Hara, the
very latest in Irish heroines.
But in the presence of Mr.
Laughton, who is co-producer
as well as star, they all come off
second best.
Superficially the yarn is built
around the arrival of the girl,
Mary, to stay at the lonely,
wind-swept inn with her aunt
and uncle. Perils attend her
from the start and the lot of the
girl and spectator alike is one
of ever-mounting suspense.
Spunky Miss O'Hara plays cap
ably; so do Newton as the hero,
Banks and Marie Ncy as uncle
and aunt, and the others.
For Laughton, his role gives
him a chance to strut his stuff
and give one of his best char
acterizations since “Mutiny on
the Bounty.’’ You may have
difficulty understanding him at
times, however his pantomime
is so eloquent that he always
puts his point over. “Jamaica
Inn” is a four bell “must see”
production.
Espionage Agent
“Espionage Agent” is a time
ly story of the forgotten men of
America’s foreign service. Joel
McCrea and Brenda Marshall
are starred with Jeffrey Lynn
and George Bancroft heading
the supporting cast.
McCrea portrays the young,
successful service man who
meets Miss Marshall, an inno
cent. unsuspecting tool of a for
eign spy ring. The young couple
marry and because of her con
nect with the spies, McCrea is
forced to resign his diplomatic
position. They then set out to
break up this spy ring and re
gain their prestige. “Espionage
Agent” is swell entertainment
which opens at the Heilig on
Thursday.
“Nurse Edith Cavcll” con
tinues its Eugene run by mov
ing to the Mayflower this
Thursday. This dramatic story
relates the career of a nurse and
her activities which included
her smuggling fugitive soldiers
across the Dutch border. For
her service to humanity, she
was sentenced to die before a
German firing squad.
Originally scheduled for
showing last week, two horror
pictures will screen at the Rex
starting Thursday. “The Return
of the 1' rog and “The Demon
Barber of Fleet Street” are the
pictures delayed by booking
difficulties. Both of these films
are guaranteed horror shockers.
Hollywood Outlook
Today, less than two months
after the start of World War II.
Hollywood production has
dropped to about 32 pictures,
the lowest in months. But
brighter days are ahead.
.Studio officials base their
predictions on these facts: Am
erican production is up to 1020
level with theaters doing a
great business; in England
where picture show ; arc only
open afternoons, there has been
a mad scramble for seats; stu
Hio' arc learning to save money
m production which takes up
nf the European loss;
t-m-e win be no pictures made
outside of Hollywood which
mean:, that they must supply
the world with motion pictures.
