PAT M' ARTHUR TAKES UP GRADUA University of Oregon, Eugene, Dec. 7. The following article by Pat Mc Arthur C01), a prominent alumni of the University, appeared in yesterday after noon's issue of the Oregon Emerald. MeArthur voices the sentiment of the entire alumni and student body in his views on Oregon's coaching system: "Oregon has reaped the harvest of a decade of folly In the pursuit of a hit-and-miss football policy. The recent defeats of the varsity eleven are con vincing proofs that our system is al together wrong and sadly In deed of repair. A review of our football his tory during the past 10 yeRrs shows that bur varsity has been coached by eight different men- from as many col leges and that no two of these men fashioned their style of play after the same system. , Each cocach drilled the Oregon men according to his own no tions, undoing, in numerous. Instances, the work of his predecessor. The re sult has been a small number of cham pionship teams and a woeful lack of any definite and well defined system. Doubled in Few Instances. "Only In two previous instances has the came man coached Oregon for two successive years. In 1898 and 1899, when Simpson of California, was at the helm, and in 1908 and 1909 when Bob Forbes, of Yale, -directed Oregon's play. In both instances, the team was noticeably strong during the second year of the coach's tutelage. Simpson's team of 1899 was the best team in the northwest that year, but the 1900 team was even stronger, largely because Kaarsberg, the coach, was also a Cal ifornia varsity man and was able to take up the work where Simpson left off. "Locomotive" Smith another Cal lfornlan, coached Oregon in 1901, and despite the fact that he had only three old varsity men and that his team av eraged only 151 pounds, made a very creauaDie snowing. forces bad a stronger team In 1909 than In 1908 and won all his games except the one with Washington, but In Justice to the Yale coach, It must be said that injuries deprived him or a number of good men at critical times and that Washington's team of tnat - year was stronger than her championship crew of this season. "The writer ventures the opinion that had ForbeV been retained or had he been succeeded by some other man from, New Haven, the results of the past two seasons would not have been so disastrous.. These matters of his tory are mentioned merely to show that in the few instances where Oregon has AfocYCOLLAR tasy to put on, easy to take) off, easy, to tie th tie In. Clnett, Peabody A Company, Matter. Trojr, N.T t nnpiDiiMiiiifiOi U LI u Li LmlllJlIuuuLIi Dr. Stewart Elected to Chair of Physical Education at Corvallis. Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Dec 7.- Dr. E. J.

C. chair has been vacant since the res ignation of E. D. Angell, in July, 1910, , Dr. Stewart will enter upon his duties at O. A. C. immediately, and his first work will probably be . that of coaching the basketball tefm Stewart graduated from the " Western Reserve -; Medical school in 1903. , While a student at Western Reserve Stewart played three years on the varsity football, baseball and basketball teams, twice captaining the baseball and basketball teams The same year of his graduation Dr. Stewart organised, coached and played quarterback on the famous Masslllon, Ohio, professional football teatn, which at that time was considered the great est aggregation f AU-Amerlcan college gridiron stars ever playing on one team. During the four years of its existence It was considered theworld's champion professional team. Later he played pro fessional baseball with the Ohio end Pennsylvania league. Dr. Stewart also spent two years as coach of all athletic teams at Mount Union college. Alliance, Ohio, and dur ing the winter of 1908-9 coached the Perdue university basketball quintet. running Chicago university a close race for the championship.

M'LINN WILL CAPTAIN WASHINGTON ELEVEN Foster McLinn will captain the Wash ington high school football team next season.

(United Frew Leased Wirt. ) New Haven, Conn., Dec. 7. Jesse Spalding of Chicago, right half back of the Tale 'varsity team, Is announced to day as captain of the Tale football eleven for the 1912 season. The an nouncement came as a surprise to some, who predicted the election of either Camp or Bomelster. TE COACHES clung to one school of coaching, her teams have made creditable records Too much blame should not be attached to Coach Warner for our recent fail ures, for we men of the University students, alumni and faculty are more responsible than he. We have stood by and watched coaches come and go, nev er satisfying ourselves with the work of a good man or his system of play, but always grasping for novelties. Time to So Something. "It is time for the men of the Unl verslty to do something. If athletic sports are to be maintained, there should be some correct policies of coaching, schedules, management, etc something of a permanent nature. The northwest conference and the sys tem of graduate management are both stepsr In the right direction, but the most serious question confronting Or egon's athletics of today Is the matter of football coaches. "It has been suggested that we adopt the graduate coach system, and as I have given this subject some considera tion, I desire to discuss It in these col umns, but do not feel warranted In ask. lng for any additional space at this time. However, I shall outline my views upon the proposed graduate coach system in your next Issue."
