IDAHO DEFEATS
CONFERENCE GAMES GIVI
LINE ON STRENGTH OF
TEAMS — OREGON FIVE
NOT YET RICKED
TUESDAY’S GAME FASTEF
Walker Again Stars—Brooks, In
jured in Latter Part of Contest,
Replaced by Fee.
Though met with a string of de
feats, Idaho’s trip into Oregon gives
the first line on the comparative
strength of the two teams. This com
parative “dope,” though it has a mosl
inconsistant feminine-like uncertainty
is always due early in the season
Idaho was outplayed by Oregon twice
once 31 to 6, and again 25 to 15. O
A. C. last night defeated them 23 tc
13; and Pullman, before Idaho came
to Eugene, trimmed the Gem Staters
by but a very narrow margin. The
game ended a tie, at 16 to 16, but ir
playing it out, Washington State
slipped over a couple.
This, for what it may be worth, in
dicates Oregon stronger than Wash
ington State and a little better thar
on a standoff with the Oregon Col
lege. Oregon, however, handicappec
by the absence of its captain, openec
the season with but a week’s prac
tice.
Hayward Undecided.
Many believe that the opening
games have been the selecting of th(
first team. Hayward denies this. “P
is not safe even to make a guess ai
who the first team men will be at this
time. I will not select my team unti
we go to Washington in February
Then I will take along seven players
There are still some good men wh<
have not played yet. I am waiting
for the completing of that fraternity
series. I may find some men there.’

POSTPONED OUNCE TO
BE GIVEN SATURDAY
Scheme to Have Matinee Informal
Proves Impractieal—St udent
Tickets Will Admit.
The Student Body dance to be held
Saturday evening: in the gymnasium
is the postponement of postpone-,
ments. Three times has it been set,
twice has it been deferred, but at last
it is promised to occur. As formerly i
planned, it is to be an informal in
formal. To make it even more in
formal, a proposal was made to call it
a matinee dance, holding it Saturday
aftemoon. This appears impractical,
and it will occur in the evening, as
first contemplated. Dancing com
mences at 8:30 p. m.
The executive committee has
worked hard to make this a success,
rot only from the standpoint of
pleasure and democracy, but from a
financial standpoint. The dance must
pay for itself if others are to be
held.
All day Saturday the floor will be
treated. The damage from the bas
ketball shoes to its surface will be re
paired. To make the affair a stand
ard for other dances is sought by the
committee.
The patronesses will be Miss Ruth
Guppy. Miss Pearl Bonisteel, Mrs. R
H. Dearborn and Mrs. P. L. Camp
bell.
Student Body Tickets will admit
couples: without the tickets the dance
will cost 50 cents.
NORTHWESTERN CO-EDS HAVE
EXPERIENCE WITH BLUE LAWS
Women Must Be in Dormitory at 10
I’. M. and Cannot Entertain
Sunday Callers.
Northwestern University co-eds will
face some New Year’s resolutions,
says the Northwestern Daily, which
fact is of interest to the Oregon
women coming at this time,
when they look at the Willard Hall
bulletin this morning, the first day of
[ college after the holidays. The reso
lutions, incidentally, are to be kept.
They are as follow-s:
All girls must be In the dormitory
by 10 p. m.
No callers may- remain in later than
10 p. m.
No callers can come on Sunday.
Underclass members shall not at
tend the theater unchaperoned.
When they'' go out for the early
evening, they shall leave a signed
statement of where they are going.
There is one bright spot, a rule
which designates the Juniors and Sen
iors as adequate chaperons. The
Seniors benefit, too, by a dispensation
which allows them to remain away
until 10:30 p. m. The rules have been
on the books for y-ears, but have not
been obeyed rigidly.
GLEE CLUeTwILLGIVE

Will Prove Drawing Card to
Students.
This morning seats were put on
. sale at the box office of the Eugene
Theatre for the “harmony encore”
concert of the University Glee Club

the boys during their eastern Oregon
trip has shown a decided improve
ment,—the skits have been reworked,
i some new songs and a number of
• jokes have been inserted, and Ken

’ return engagement will be interesting
to all, even although many saw the
club before the holidays. Ira Man

"1 stand here before you; I have

throw my chips in the pot with you
and come up again,” said Rill Hanley
speaking at Assembly hour yester
day morning. He was the leader ot
a delegation from Central and East
ern Oregon, who visited the Univer
sity yesterday, and attended Assem
bly at 10 o’clock. Some of them
spoke to the students, the first speak
er being Hon. Wm. Harney
“There is no greater pleasure to me
than tax paving, because it is going
to such institutions as this and the
Oregon Agricultural College; and for
the benefit of the whole common
wealth in other ways.
“There might have been cause for
contention and hara feeling between
the University and the Agricultural
College years ago, when they were
loth young, belt there is absolutely
no reason for any such trouble now
You are both here to train men for
their life's \v.>rk, and there is busi
ness for you both.
"What you are getting; here is the
j condensed experience of other men’s
i lives. You mo getting the benefit,
and you ow tc' the people service for
what they have given you. I went
around the other way to success, and
t is a hard road. It is all uphill, but
we wouldn’t change it if we could;
for in the struggle lies the education.
Education is efficiency, and efficiency ’
is everything.
“But true knowledge lies outside,
and that true knowledge is the other
individual. But you can only under*
stand that other individual by master
ing yourself.
"And now, I say to you as Oregon
ians —as you must be—the greatest
asset is the one we produce ourselves;
and you are that asset.”

According to the plans of Manager
Geary the club will journey next
Wednesday to Corvallis to give a
concert there that evening' and pos
sibly they will give a return engage

decided definitely. These concerts
will end the present engagement of
the Glee Club,—they expect to go
into winter quarters until spring,
when it is planned to take a trip dur
ing Easter vacation through the west
Willamette Valley, visiting such
towns as McMinnville, Independence,
Forest Grove, and possibly a concert
at Salem.
For this appearance at the Eugene
Theatre the prices have been reduced
by half that all may attend. The en

cents and the gallery for twenty-five.

No “Graveyard" Committees Ap
pointed by Him.
The Reforms for House Rules, as
proposed in the State Legislature by
lion. Allen II. Eaton, have failed.
These proposed reforms were em
bodied in a minority report of the
Committee on Rules, and were pre
sented yesterday by Mr. Eaton. The
report of the majority of the Com
mittee on Rules was accepted by an
almost unanimous vote of the mem
bers of the House.
The minority report introduced by
Mr. Eaton proposed the following re
forms :
1. A reduction of the number of
! committees from 42 to 35.
2. The members of committees
should be selected by the House
through a Committee on Committees,
consisting of five members elected
from the House. No two of these to
be chosen from the same legislative
district,
3. Committees to meet according
to a schedule and attendance com
pulsory.
4. Committee meetings to be open
to all members of the Legislature and
to the accredited members of the
press. All bills to be considered in
order that they are received.
5. It shall require a two-thirds ma
jority to pass a measure after the
tenth day of the session.
In defense of the proposed rules,
Mr. Eaton made the first long speech
of the session. Leading the opposi
tion to Mr. Eaton’s plan, Hon. C. N.
McArthur spoke in support of the ma
jority report. Both Mr. Eaton and
Mr. McArthur are graduates of the
