The latest movement in inter-col legiate athletic circles is the agita tion for an Interfraternity Indoor Baseball League. As yet no definite plans have been formulated, but it is probable that early next week a meet ing of the representatives of the dif ferent clubs and fraternities will be held. Organization will be perfected and officers will be elected to take charge of the proposition. If indoor baseball is not taken up the league will very likely take over the business of the interfrat outdoor baseball series, which has been played since the days of the late lamented Doughnut. In case these plans materialize, the different organizations will be asked to send a representative to the con ference. ) • GEARY AND JONES REPRESENT VARSITY Manager Arthur Geary and Earl Jones, chairman of the Committee on Oratory and Debate, left Eugene yes terday afternoon on the 4:43 train for Portland. Chairman Jones goes to at tend the preliminary meeting of the executive committee of the State Ora torical Contest, which will be held at Newburg today. Manager Geary goes to Portland to arrange for a basket ball game between the Varsity team and the three Portland High Schools. The plan is to play a game of three halves, each high school playing the Varsity boys one half. Geary will also look into the possibility of a game with the famous Dallas team. That team is anxious to play the Varsity, but objects to the intercol i legiate rules. Miss Birdie Wise has as her guest her sister, Miss Hattie Wise, of As toria. Miss Wise was hostess at a card party Saturday afternoon in honor of her guest. Verne Partlow has been confined to his room for the past week with what was first thought to be grip but later developed in to light attack of pneu monia.

LEAGUE PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIS ORDEF Says Leagues Are Conducted to Brinj Out Varsity Material, and the End is Realized. To the Oregon Emerald: In your issue of Wednesday last noticed an article in which Presiden Johns of the Beta Theta Pi fra tern ity gave out the following statement “The inter-fraternity leagues havt failed to accomplish the purposes foi which they were formed, instead 01 bringing the fraternities into closei relationship with each other thej only increase the gulfs which wert large in the beginning and empha size fraternity loyalty to the detri ment of the larger and better college loyalty.” As the trouble has arisen in the basketball league, of which I am president, I feel called upon to take issue with Mr. John’s arguments. These leagues were not organized to bring the fraternities into closer relationship with each other, neither were they formed to settle the petty animosities which exist between the various fraternities. Rather were they instituted to provide contests wherein non-athletically inclined stu dents might be given opportunity to participate; to stimulate interest among the mediocre players so that Varsity material might be developed; and to arouse enthusiasm among the students at large to the end that the University teams be given proper support. Unquestionably these re sults have been obtained. As Mr. Hayward expressed himself the other day: “These inter-fraternity series have developed and brought forward more good material than could be gotten out in any other concievable way.” The only games in which there have been objectionable features or any display that might impair college loyalty were those contests between fraternities which have had previous difficulties foreign to athletics. In most of the games the best of sports manship prevailed and there was a feeling of good fellowship that strengthened the relationship be tween the “bunches.” It is my opinion that the leagues should be perpetuated because they certainly do accomplish the purposes for which they were formed. If the fraternities can not settle their petty jealousies without dragging the leagues into the mire, it is well and good that they remain outside them. E. C. LATOURETTE.

BANTAMS WILL CLIMB FRAMES OF LEVIATHANS Despite the recent liquidation of Springfield unathletic and only slightly athletic students will still be given a chance to work off their exuberence of animal spirits entirely within college circles, as intended by the founders of inter-collegiate con tests. The longs and slims will clash in a basketball game with the shorts and thicks. The prospective lineups for the Mutt-Jeff contest will be Walter Bai ley, center, Bob Kellogg and C. Krone berg, forwards, Thad Wentworth and Ed Bailey, guards. The Shorts: B. F. Jones, center, Wu Sun and Leland Hurd, forwards, John Kelly and Earl Fortmiller, guards, with Brooks Dickson as first sub. The contest will probably be staged as a preliminary to some Varsity game in the near future. Varsity Plays First on Club Floor.
