Huntington, manager of debate and oratory, today received a let ter from the manager of debate at the University of Washington, stating that Washington would favor a Coast de bating league to include Washington, Oregon and Stanford University. Prac tically all that now remains is to draw up the constitution and by-laws of the league, as Stanford had already ex pressed a desire for such a league. The [ league will be similar to the old Tri angular Debating League, except that there will be two instead of three men on each team. Manager Huntington expects to perfect arrangements in time to hold the first debate this winter. It is thought that such a league will mean bigger things for the Oregon debaters, as it will bring them in closer touch with the great California colleges who have developed forensics to a high art. Manager Huntington is receiving many compliments over the apparent successful consummation of his scheme, for if such a league is formed it will be due to the efforts of the Oregon management. Carl Homer, '12, returned Wednesday j to re-enter college. START DEBATE SYSTEM Plan of Inter-Society Debate Will Be Foi tered at Oregon The Laurean, Philologian and Eutax ian societies, under the leadership of Professor Buchen, held a conference to d’y in Deady Hall. The object of the meeting was, in general, to stimulate the liter ry spirit and arouse the lag ging soc’eties to immediate organiza tion, and in particular to renew the Wisconsin plan of inter-society debates. The Wisconsin plan, which originated it. the University of Wisconsin, consists of a series of four inter-society debates; a freshman, an informal, a semi-formal, and finally a big formal debate. In the University of Wisconsin the rivalry between the different literary ' societies is very keen. 1 here is more interest shown in this debate than in the inter-collegiate debates, and it is considered a greater honor to make the inter-society team than any inter-col legiate team, ft is such a spirit as this ] that President Campbell has hoped to start by today’s conference. He con ! siders the literary society the place to put in practical operation the training received in the public speaking depart ment, and wishes them to be supple mentary to each other. The Wisconsin plan was inaugurated here two years ago, but the interest taken in it last year was small, the j "Philos" even forfeiting the freshman : debate to the Laureans. R. Burns Powell has been in The i Dalles the past week playing first trom bone with Prof. McElroy’s band. Isaac Wyman, an alumnus of Prince ton University, recently endowed that institution with $10.(XX).000. WARNER DISAPPOINTED WITH FRESHMEN S(UJID ONLY FIFTEEN NEW MEN TURNING OUT FOR TEAM Five of These Will Probably Make the Varsity, Leaving but Ten to Play O. A. C. Babes According to Coach Warner and fir finer Hayward, the commendable foot ball spirit shown by tbe freshman class at the beginning of the year, is rapidly dying out. At lhe present time there re but fifteen freshmen who turn out for regular practice. Five of these fifteen men stand excellent chances for making the Varsity team, sooner or lat er in tire season. As Varsity competi tion disqualifies these five men from holding positions on the regular fresh man team, this team will suffer from i poverty of material. It is the aim of the football management to arrange a /schedule >of regular games for fc'ne freshman team this year. Coach Warner has promrsecr a special coach for the 1914 men, providing they can turn out in sufficient numbers to warrant such a move. i ne game i:t i a een me wiegmi neMi men and the O. A. C. freshmen will he played here on November 5th. An at tempt is being made to frame up a four vear contract for an annual game. The Teshmen turning out regularly are Cobb, quarter back on last year’s P. A. team.

PAN-HELLENTC RULES TO BE MATERIALLY CHANGED Helen Washburne, President of Pan Hellenic, has called a meeting of the delegates for next Tuesday afternoon, to discuss proposed changes in the rules governing rushing. The rules for this year were found unsatisfactory by both sororities and rushees, and the various representatives to the inter-sorority or g nization express themselves as being very anxious to modify the rules. After the experience gained this year, they feel that they well be able to work out a set of rules which will be more prac tical and satisfactory than those of the past season. In all probability, the length of the rushing season after college opens wik he shortened, so that so much time wik not be lost by a rushee in getting per manently settled. There will very likely lie a change in the rule forbidding sum mer rushing, also. The chancellor of Oxford University educators from Europe and the Unitec States were present. Agnes Stevenson, '08, is teaching a Klamath Falls. TENNIS TOURNAMENT FOR FRESHMEN ONLY Purpose Is to Get New Men In terested for Spring Handicap A preliminary tennis tournament for the championship of the freshman class will begin immediately and will he run off as fast as the weather will allow. This tournament will he open to fresh men only, and is to he an annual affair. If possible, a trophy will he awarded. Entries must he made with Harry Stine, Clarence Walls, Paul Bond, Dolly Gray in- Ralph Xewland. Each entry must he accompanied by the entrance fee of twenty-live cents. No names, however, will he received after Tues day night. livery freshman in school having a playing knowledge of the game is urged to enter. The results of the tourna ment will serve as a guide to the han dicapping committee next spring, and anyone of unknown ability entering in the spring tournament will he severely handicapped. I he handicap finals for the permanent possession of the Laraway cup were won last year by C. P. Shangle, ’10, who played from the fifth class, win j ning out over about fifty entries. The trophy is now in the house of the Aca cia fraternity. M0NTHLY60EST0PRESS Freshman Issue Will Contain Good Stories The copy for the Oregon Monthly is now in tlie hands of the printer, and the first issue is promised the 15th of this month. It will he designated as the Freshman issue, and will appear in a new cover design and dress. A portion, containing ten articles and stories, will he devoted entirely to freshmen. Sev eral changes have been made in the make up of the Monthly for this year. It will be divided into five sections, the Literature, Current Poetry, Who’s Who and Since When, Rescued from the Waste Basket, and the Engineering sec tions. The Literature department will con tain several good stories, hut these sto ries will not necessarily hear on any thing relating to the University. The Current Poetry section will he filled with poetry touching on local subjects from the pens of University students. The Who’s Who and Since When sec tion will incline a little toward the hu morous, and will contain stories of fact and fiction regarding the men of prom inence on the campus. In the Rescued from the Waste Bas ket section will he found a number of jokes, among which will he a freshman primer, compiled by some sophomore and setting 'forth the rules by which the freshmen should he governed. It is unique in that it is written entirely in words of one syllable (so that it can he easily read and understood by the freshmen.) Olivia Risley, '09, is teaching in Rose burg high school. Miss Angie Williams, last year an assistant in English Literature, is at home in Oregon City this winter. OLD TIME STABS WILL RETURN FOB S!G GAME ALUMNI TEAM WILL BE MADE UP OF ALL NORTHWEST MEN Louis Pinkham Expects to Send Strong Team of Veterans Up Against Warner’s Youngsters 1 he lineup of the alumni team m next S turd iy's ^onio will he composed al most entirely of Oregon's AU-North \est men of former years. Such far famed men as Virgil Earl, “Caei" Moul len, George I lug. Jack Latourettc, Frank Templeton, Walter Mclntire, Jack Hickson, Curtis Coleman, Mike Walker, and George Sullivan, will partly corn nose the greatest lineup of veterans that h”s ever keen seen on the University gridiron. Louis Pinkham. manager of the alumni team, has written to several other old stars, among whom are Ham mond, the guard who in 1006 put Roose felt, the best guard California ever pro duced, out of the game; and llenry Mc Kinney, whose name in football annals needs no blandishment. This list, including as it does the names of some of the greatest lighters ever to have worn the lemon and yel low, should he able to give Coach War ner's team, composed to such a large extent of raw recruits, a hard fight. The Varsity team is counting on bet ter wind and more perfect team work to win for them. It is to he doubted, though, whether wind and team work ■ n accomplish much against the cun ning of older men.
