ATHLETICS TO
MANAGERS OF SIX CONFER
ENCE COLLEGES TO
MEET DEC. 5
CHANGE ELIGIBILITY RULES
Basket-ball Schedule Will Be
Decided Upon. Track, Base
ball and Football Contests
Also to Receive Attention
Graduate-Manager Walker an
nounces that he will be in Portland
on December 5 and 6 for the pur
pose of attending the annual confer
ence of managers of the six North
west colleges. This conference is
held yearly to make the various
schedules in basketball, baseball and
track. The football schedule for
next year will also be arranged.
It Is probable that the baseball
schedule for next spring will be ar
ranged differently than heretofore
on account of the proposed trip to
California, according to Walker. If
this trip is taken it will be necessary
to divide the baseball schedule in
some such manner as the basketball
schedule is arranged so that our
team may have her share of games in
the conference, and at the same time
make the trip to California.
To Change eligibility Rules.
'It is probable at this time that a
new system for the purpose of ascer
taining the eligibility of football
players other than the one used al
present will be settled upon. The
present plan of allowing the facul
ties of the individual colleges pass
Judgment seems to be meeting with
disfavor amongst the coaches of
some of the colleges. Coach Render
of W. S. C. is advocating a new plan
of determining whether players that
nent officials and foliowors of the
are questioned are eligible to play.
He suggests that a board of promi
game be appointed and (hat they set
tle the dispute once for all.
Two track meets may be held here
this spring as it Is O. A. C.’s turn to
come to Eugene this year and W. S.
C. has also signified their desire to
come here for a meet.
Same Basketball Schedule.
The scheme used last year for the
settlement of the basketball champ
ionship will probably be used again
this year. The scheme is to divide
the conference Into two halves, ('ast
ern and western, the winners of the
two sections to play for the champ
ionship. This saves a great deal of
expense and loss of time for the melt.
There may be also a few changes
made In an effort to better stage
the football games. Several of the
managers are advocating that two
sets of officials he chosen for every
game, so that If some member of the
first choice is unable to he present,
another man will have already been
chosen to fill his place. This will do
away with the senseless and aggra
vating arguments which crop out at
times between the coaches at the last
moment and which have threatened
at various times to call the games off
tills season.
“I expect that a number of
changes which will help materially to
help us stage the Conference games
with less friction and more real
sportsmanship will lie made at this
meeting In Portland," said Walker

LAUREAN MEMBERS TO
WEAR APPROPRIATE PINS
lave debate at Last Meeting
Won by Holt and
Colton
“Resolved, That Oregon should
adopt a legislative bureau of re
search,” was the subject of an ex
temporaneous debate at the Laurean
meeting Tuesday night. Max Som
mer and Frank Reach took the affir
mative, and George Colton and Wil
liam Holt the negative. The latter,
by means of a little quick research
work, were able to walk off with the
bacon.
Sommer and Beach, a few' minutes
before the debate, went over to the
library where they found a book on
tlie subject, full of arguments for
affirmative. Before they had a
•hance to glean any of the argu
ments, Colton with unflagging nerve
met them at the door and borrowed
tlie book. He kept it till time for
the debate to start, and thought up
incidentally, good rebuttals for every
argument the affirmative might set
forth.
Another step in the rejuvenation of
the LJuireans occurred Tuesday,
when it was decided to choose an ap
propriate pin for the members. A
plain “L” will probably be chosen.
A ( rest will also be selected.
The Faculty Social Committee at
the Ohio State University lias ap
proved of tlie “tango” after witness
ing it dmiceyl by a professional
dancer from New York. The verdict
was: "Graceful and proper and
wholly unoffensive when danced cor
rectly.” The ‘‘Fish walk,” however,
was pronounced objectionable.
Seven students at the University
of Washington, were compelled to
leave that institution recently be
cause of low scholarship.

OLYMPIC RUNNER OF
FINLAND GETS HEARING
Committee Satisfied He Had
Not Pawned Any Prizes
Awarded Him
Hannes Kolehmainen, Olympic
runner, who came from Finland
and joined the Irish-American Ath
letic elut), appeared before the reg
istration committee of the metropol
itan district of the Amateur Athletic
union to be questioned regarding re
ports that he is a professional and
not an amateur. Having been di
rected to produce ail the prizes he
has won since coming to America,
Kolehmainen surprised the commit
tee by producing three more trophies
■ than the investigators had recalled.
The Finnish runner drove up in an
autonr bile filled v.ith cups and med
uio auci proved to the committee’s
satisfaction that he had not pawned
any prizes awarded him.' The com
mittee reserved its decision.
Sporting men familiar with the in
quiry characterized it as having fall
en through for lack of evidence. All
of his prizes were returned to him
and it was pointed out by his friends
that had he been found guilty of
professionalism they would have
j been withheld by the committee. It
[ was' learned that no direct charges
were filed against the runner, and
in some quarters the inquiry was re
garded as the outcome merely of
statements by athletes envious of his
success.

A HELPFUL HINT TO CHRIST
MAS SHOPPERS.
Obak, the high priest of the great
god Nicotine, has Santa Claus crawl
ing up the chimney of a gas range
as a dispenser of Christmas gifts. If
nobody loves you and you are shy
the necessary cash to doll up a
Christmas tree of your own, mur
mur your name and class into Jack
Luckey’s auditory tract, be real good
until Christmas time, and you will
be remembered with one of those
emerald Fatima cases which almost
every college man totes around on his
hip these days. Each case is a work
of art; handsome, shapely, almost
voluptuous in appearance, just big
enough to accommodate twenty joy
candles; with your John Henry and
what class, if any, there is to you,
printed on the outside together with
the Oregon seal. Obak is yearning
to slip you one of these cases as a
slight token of his affection.
