In a recent issue of Collier’s, Walter Camp, founder of American football and director of athletics at Yale Uni versity, announced the above all-Amer ican team containing six Yale men, two from Harvard, and one each form Brown, Michigan and Minnesota. Concluding his article, Camp said the following of the Northwest, specifically mentioning Dudley Clarke, Oregon’s great half-back, punter and captain. “ I he great Northwet is developing a grade of football that is already high class, and the interest in the game in that section is growing steadily. No wonder their standards are approach ing the best when they have been able to secure such excellent coaches. “In this section they have developed formation and spread plays, and have not been behind in working out the for ward pass and on-side kick. They have many stars, but probably the most noted this season is Borleske of Whitman, and in Clarke Oregon has a punter who will be watched with interest anywhere.” ANTIQUE RECORD OF SOME RECENT EVENTS An ancient tablet containing queer inscriptions w as exhumed . in a remote corner of the gymnasium today* which, w hen deciphered by Headjanitor lozier appears to throw valuable light upon a much mooted athletic question. I he marks, say those who claim to know, are a record of an interclass re lay race purported to have taken place on the 16th day of December, A. D. 1009, in which the sophomore class won with a total of 76 points, the freshmen came second w ith 70 points and the sen iors and juniors followed w ith 36 and 7 points respectively. A freshman named Met hire won lirst. I he other men fin i ished in the following order: Garra brandt, ’12, Schumacher, '12. Henry, ’13, Riddell, ’10, Walls, ’12, O’Neill, ’12, MartxlotT, ’13, Steel, ’10, Emery, ’13, Clarke, 12, Collier, ’13, Leonard,’10, Rueter, ’ll.

NOW INFORMAL FUNCTION Mthc regular meeting of the student I 'lia.rs committee this afternoon it was greed t > change the definition of in orm,;I and semi formal parties. The mniutee also decided to permit Sun ! \ e\eni g suppers without pet it it >n prot tiled a statement K made to them either before or after the time. Hereafter all parties will he con sidered semi-formal that do not in clude more than half the members in am organi atioti. Those which do in elude more than half will he classed as semi formal unless they are large enough to come under the cass defined > llu committee last year as formal. Ilu old rule was that informal tunc tie-’s should not contain more than -i\ guests and was \cr\ obnoxious. In tact it was so strenuous that it was never enforced literally. Nebraska fraternities are organizing an interim basketball league. OREGON MEN WORKING HARD TO BEAT UTAH 1 ho judges selected for the IJtah Oregon debate a week from next Friday are President Crooks, of Albany Col lege, R. D. Hetzell, debate coach at O. A. C, and Alfred C. Schmitt, of Al bany, Oregon. All three have signi tied their willingness to act. Collier and Spencer, the two men on the Oregon team, are hard at work. Collier has been given the place of leader with the closing rebuttal, while Spencer opens the debate. Every evening they meet and go over their work with Coach Buchen, and last night they held a practice debate with some of the other debaters who be lieve that the negative side is the stron ger. In this manner they are given an opportunity to strengthen their re buttal work. The men worked every day during the vacation, with the exception of a f'.v days at the first of the second week, when Spencer went to his home at Cottage Grove and Coach Buchen to Portland, where he did some work in the library. GLEE CLUB TRIP IS SUCCESSION OF TRIUMPHS (Continued from tirst page.) which was said to have fallen flat, by some, in the Eugene concert on account of lack of life, was made a success through the noble efforts of Elmer Storie, who in night-gown arrayed brought everything from bedsteads to hair pins on the stage in his vain ef forts to save them from the unquench able flames which freshman Vawter as "Janitorio” announced were burning the walls below. 1 he songs were all delivered with life and harmony and many were the praises and congratulations that Profes sor Glen received on his wise selection pf songs and on the careful training displayed by the club. Undoubtedly the most popular piece on the program was "In Persian Gardens" sung by Pro fessor Glen with the club as the chorus. 11. M. Warren, the capable musician who has recently been giving lessons on string instruments in Eugene, de serves great credit for the showing the Mandolin Club made under his coach ing against advense circumstances— three men being unable to make the trip the last moment. This left Joe Rotn i child, 13, as the only first mandolin ! player and he won much praise for the ! manner in which he kept the audiences | guessing whether there were two or 1 three in his section. Each selection of the Mandolin Club was heavily en cored, and the only complaint that was he rd was that there were not enough selections. t he success of the club is due to the continuous efforts of leader Stun Davidson, who has kept the men hard at work during the past two months. I lie trip was a financial success to tlie extent practically of paying expens es. 1 lie theatre managers treated the dull royally, where a percentage plan was followed, giving them better terms than most first class attractions receive. I he large crowds that gathered des pite the fact that \ uletide shopping was going on tull blast in the stores below is due in a great degree to the hustling Oregon students, home in Southern Oregon for their viftation. Those to whom the manager owes a deep debt of gratitude are John Rast, William Norton, bred Strang, Ernest Smith, Clarence Gore, Glen Conwell, Claude Downing, and last but by no means least, Homer Killings, an ’05 alumnus through whose efforts the Ashland con cert was made such a grand success. I he Eugene concert leaves a balance to the credit of the Glee Club.
