All are en gaged in a distinctively similar pursuit, and have distinctively similar needs and modes of life. In consequence, they can, more than any other class, elim inate the wastes of competition by co operating. I here comes a tune in the growth ot every university when the students can practically supply their entire needs from the wholesale house. The dif ferent items—hoard, clothing and hooks, are taken up one at a time, as the size of the college justifies it. Because it is the largest item and is therefore most important, hoard is the first in point of time. Dormitories, eating cluhs, and fraternities, are almost as
t of the best and prices are often e\ho. Imant. There is no well equipped hook store in town and only one that makes more than a pretense. Aside from the high prices, the miserable service, causing long delays when ordering hooks, is alone sufficient reason for making it a matter for common action. A good beginning could he made at the end of the present semester. The local hook stores charge live cents for blue hooks that cost about one cent. I he executive conmfttee could have a supply made for sale and clear a good profit besides underselling the down town stores. Moreover, a store on the campus would be so much more con venient. f Anyone has had the awk " .ml experience of try ing vainly at the last minute to borrow a blue book that he had neglected to buy in advance down town. There is no greater need within the power of the students to till than a co-operative book store.

STAGG WANTS FOOT BALL RULES CHANGED Coach Alonzo Stagg, Chicago’s great teacher, director and manager of ath letics, is for revision of the football rules. Here are Stagg’s suggestions, the first definite outline of football reform yet announced: “I would amend the rules of football as follows: “1. Allowing two chances tc make ten yards, or increasing the distance to fifteen yards and giving a team three chances, as Walter Cam]) has suggest ed. In this way forward passing will be encouraged by making the use of the play more often necessary. "2. By prohibiting pushing or pull ing of the runner with the ball, which now does a lot of damage, for, first, a single player now is often struck by the combined force of two or three men; and, second, it takes the com bined falling under or on top of the attacking players to stop them. “3. By making a penalty for crawl ing with the ball, which would encour age standing up in running. "4. By increasing the penalty for piling on a player unnecessarily. “5. By emphasizing the need of the referee’s blowing his whistle when the ball is stopped, thus preventing massing." BASKET BALL TEAMS ACTIVE AT WHITMAN Whitman, Dec, 10—I he various class teams have been assigned practice hours for basketball this week. The class games will be played off before Christ mas. December 17, is the date set for the senior-sophomore game, and the next ,day the team representing Pearsons Academy will try conclusions with the freshmen. The winners of the two con tests will play on the 10th, and the final game of the series will occur on the 20th between the winners of series number two, and last year's champions, the juniors. An admittance fee of 25 cents will be charged for each game. The juniors and the freshmen seem to line up the strongest although the seniors may be strong contenders for the cup which litis been won twice in succession by the present class of 1012. Should the latter win again this year, the cup will be theirs permanently. Ihe "Ptty Streak” entertainment which the men of the institution are to give for the benefit of the purse of the Associated Students, has been postponed until after Christmas on account of conflict with a similar affair given In line of the churches of the city. Prom present indications, the affair is to be quite elaborate. "Ilits" will be made in novel ways, on faculty and students af fairs. I be entertainment will close with a farce, “Frenzied Fussing,” written by Ralph Mathews, guard of the football team, and president of the senior class, who is at the head of the committee in charge of the “Pay Streak." Preacher Speaks—Is Sport Rev. J. R. X. Hell, of Corvallis, who will speak in \ssemhly next Wednes day, is a great admirer of student ac tivities and lakes special interest in the athletic relations between F.ugcne and Corvallis.
