A Good Idea
In order that students might be aid
ed in identifying players in last Thanks
giving’s football game with O. A. C.
we urged that large numbers be placed
on their hacks, as is done in the track
meets. The suggestion did not meet
with any response at the time. We
are still convinced, however, that the
innovation would make the game better
from the spectator's point of view and
we hope the experiment will lie tried
this season.
Right in line with the suggestioin
comes a similar plea from "Herbert”
a sporting writer in the New York
Tribune, lie says:
i nere is ail easier way man a iouu
voice and a giant megaphone to inject
a personal touch to a contest on the
gridiron and thus make the game far
more attractive and popular than it
is now. A year ago 1 made a strong
plea that the players should he num
bered, as is the case at athletic games
and bicycle races.
"For some reason hard to explain
there appears to be an aversion to do
ing this, and in all probability this par
agraph will be '>cofTed at. The fact
remains that there ;s a crying need of
properly identifying the players in a
sport which holds such a high place
in popular esteem. 1 here is so much
loose lormation work, and the plavets
are dressed so much alike that even
those who know the men personally lind
it difficult to recognize them on the
field.
"Coy wore a white bandage around
his head in the Princeton game and
thereby earned the good will of all
newspaper men, for the reason that he
could be followed in every play. Men
with some distinguishing mark, liks a
heavy pad, a bandage or possibly red
hair, get credit for doing more than
men who are deserving perhaps of great
er consideration for the reason tha;
they can be identified readily. 1 hi
works a hardship oftentimes that could
be easily avoided. The football rules
commute would do well to give this
question some consideration at its next
meeting.—University of Washington
Daily.

Fencing is becoming a popular sport
at Cornell. A large number of men
have joined the squad and several in

year. A fencing team consists of five
regulars and two substitutes.
The faculty of Ohio Wesleyan Uni

Glee Club making any engagements
away from the college. The students
are indignant and hope to influence the
faculty to take other action.

REGULAR VARSITY
BAND IS ORGANIZED
The Varsity Baud, started last year
l>y R. Burns Powell, was regenerated
last Thursday night and made a perma
nent organization under the direction
of Mr. H. R. Shraeder, a musician from
Colorado, who has recently located in
Eugene.
The band will be composed of Var
sity players and young men from the
High School and town who are anxious
to become musicians. Mr. Shraeder
wishes to develop a concert band, com
posed of students and young men, that
will have no peer in the country. He
is a man of wide experience as an in
structor of amature bands and begins
this work with enthusiasm that prophe
sies sucess.
The organization has twelve members
but it will eventually be augmented to
twenty or twenty-live members. The
instrumentation is complete with the
exception of clarinets, but Mr. Shraeder,
who is a clarinetists himself, will im
mediately start a number of young men
in the study of the clarinet and will give
them private instruction. The band
will rehearse in Villard Hall and be
present at all games and rallies.
In speaking of the band one prom
inent member said: "We think we have
a band started now that will live. The
boys are enthusiastic over it as well
as Mr. Shraeder. 1 don’t see why Ore
gon can't have a permanent band as
well as O. A. C, Whitman, Pacific Uni
versity and the other colleges of the
Northwest. If you once get a band well
organized with a competent instructor
at its head it is a comparatively easy
matter to maintain it. for the fellows
who are musically inclined will recog
nize its efficiency and be anxious to
become a member. Mr. Shraeder seems
to be a competent instructor and with
conscientious work on the part of the
members of the band and the support of
the students this band should be a suc
cess.”
