Note that the first option is a one, not an el.

Or for that matter, just "echo *log" instead of ls.

Neither of those are reliable. If there are enough matches to require xargs, then both ls and echo will fail. xargs also doesn't care whether or not each entry is printed on its own line, so "ls -1" isn't better than "ls" with no argument.
