WOMEN ARE IN A QUANDARY OVER
NATIONAL GOLF TILT SCHEDULED
FOR SHAWNEE COURSE IN OCTOBER
Miss Alexa Stirling, National Champion, Says 1t
Is Unlikely She Will Play-No Title Will
Be Awarded This Year
BY PETER PUTTER

HNIlE status of the women's national golf
l. championship to be held at Shawnee In
October is as uncertain as an April day
Howard w. Perrin, president of the United
States Golf Association said yesterday that
the whole thing was in the hands of the
committee of women, but that under no cir
the women want TO have a patriotic tourna-
ment the L. S. G. A. would stage it. IT
was for the women to decide, he said.
Miss Marion Chandler. of the Huntington
Valley Country Club, the local member of
the committee. few days ago said in
reference to this tournament:
80 far as l know there Is no truth in
the statement that the tournament has
been called off because Miss Stirling could
not compete. What happened was that
Miss Stirling communicated with the
United States Golf Association with refer
ence to her title and was told that the title
WOULD go over for year. SO far
believe the tournament will be held at
will be no title and it will be patriotic
tournaSnent. But as yet nothing has been
definitely settled and we will not know any
thing for week at least"
Miss Alexa Stirling, in telegram to the
EVENING LEDGER yesterday from Atlanta,
Ga. her home town, said:
WAS informed some months ago there
would probably not be woman's cham
pionship, but a patriotic tournament this
year. | expect to be occupied and am
doubtful if l could play in either case.

Miss Stirling has been playing in a num-
Der of exhibition matches for the Red Cross
fund but there is every indication that
the national champion will not be at Shaw
nee in the event of the women deciding to
play the tournament Naturally her
absence would affect the tournament, but
she is apparently following in the footsteps
of Chick Evans, the national amateur and
open champion. Evans decided, after il
was announced that no titles would be
awarded this year, not to play in any oe the
tournaments and to participate only in ex-
hibition matches for the Red Cross.
Mrs. Bruce Smith, of Lake Forest. Is the

Coach PiDal Asserts
Critics Were Unjust to
Coach Matthews

DR.. Joseph L. Pipal, coach of the
Oregon Agricultural college football
team, has reply fer those Oregon sup
porters who questioned the sportsman
ship of Coach Mathews of Willamette,
who sat on Oregon s bench in the Cali
fornia game and later assisted in bring
ing the Aggies into shape for their
game with Oregon. 1t is as follows:
Gin Justice to Coach Mathews OF
Willamette university, l want to state
that it is unfair to question his sports
manship because of his assisting for a
few days in whipping the o. A. c. team
into shape for the Oregon game, after
having accepted the courtesy of a seat
on the Oregon bench during the Cali
fornia game. At that time, he was slmp
lv an interested sportsman at an inter
esting athletic contest and had not the
slightest idea that he would be asked
to assist at 0. A. G.
+" At the eleventh hour, when | saw
that / would fail in getting the expect
ed help from the alumni, l asked Mr..
Mathews to come and help me out. !
did not know that he had seen the Cal
ifornia game. This statement of facts
should clear Mr.. Mathews of any sus-
pieion of lack of proper sportsmanship,
and also O. A. C. Of taking any unfair
advantage Of our friends at Eugene.

nation that was intended only for

People Are Asked to Feature
Products of State In Their
Buying This Week

Home Products Week begins today
From this morning until Saturday night
the people of Oregon are expected to
remember Home Industries in their
buying.
Official recognition Of Homo Products
Week was made when Governor Witty
combe issued his proclamation, so des
ignating the week of December 3rd to
8th, and every Oregonian is urged to
Buy at least one Christmas present
which is an Oregon product
That seems modest enough request,
but it only serves to show what Ore
gonians have in their power to do for
Oregon, if they will. Probably five hun
dred thousand people in Oregon are old
enough to be buying Christmas presents
this year. Suppose we take modest
average of one silver dollar for a Christ
mas gift and think what this means.
With five hundred thousand people re-
spending to this call, with an average
expenditure of only one dollar, it means
half a million dollars kept in Oregon
in this instance alone. If a one dollar
response to the Home Industry appeal
can keep half million dollars in Ore
gon, it dazzles the imagination to think
what a power the people of our state
have in their daily possession, to make
Oregon grow and prosper by patronizing
Home Industries.
Millions of dollars q month that leave
Oregon could be kept in the state for
the people of Oregon to spend over and
over again with each other.
Public spirit is a great thing. 1t is
what makes communities big and the
practice of it reacts on those who prac-
tice it and makes them bigger men and
women in head and heart. Public spirit
built the Panama Canal and carried the
American flag to European battlefields
to fight the only power that remains
on earth seeking to enslave humanity.
There is nothing the matter with Ore
gon in such matters. Oregon has been
in the front rank of states in every
patriotic step taken-but 'Echarity be-
gins at home.' 1t is high time Oregon
ians awolIe to the duties they owe to
themselves at the same time, and use
the tremendous power at their command
to make our state grow and prosper.
Millions of Oregon money finds its
way into the pay rolls of eastern fac
tories every month, yet there is not an
Oregonian but who will spak with pride
of the great resources or our state.
These natural resources should be put
to work. Factories should spring up, and
multiply all over the state. 1t needs no
political economist to understand how
oar cities and towns would increase in
nopuIation-how the farmers would
have nearer and bigger markets for
