UUJN - TES^S IN ONE ° MONTH 0 CHAiCiS FJR REST, ARE FEW. • **** Large Squad Will Be Necessary as Injuries to First Team Men Will Be Fatal to Hopes With out Good Substitutes. Immediately after Christmas vaca tion the ’varsity basketball squad will begin active practice. In the meantime most of the aspirants for positions on the team will be found on the floor getting into form. The inter-fraternity and class games now being staged is bringing out a wealth of new material and many of the “Doughnut” League stars will later try out for the ’var sity. The schedule as arranged for the coming season will require a large squad of men available for first team work. During the month of February there are sixteen games scheduled. With hard contests com ing nearly every night injuries will be particularly fatal to conference championship hopes, unless good sub stitutes are at hand. Practice games with Willamette and Multnomah come before the con ference games and will give the team a chance to get team work for the O. A. C. and Washington contests. Coach Bezdek is noii-comimttal as to his hopes for a championship team but with four of last year’s quintet to start with, he should pro duce a strong team. Captain Fenton, Bradshaw, Rice, Brooks, Sims and Boylan will all be out for this year’s team and with such a squad of ex perienced men to beat out, new men will have to show class. However, none are discouraged by this fact and at least twenty Freshmen and former second team players will be out for places. \_ Among the men w})o are showing up well in the inter-fraternity se ries, Bryant, H. Sims, Furney, Par sons, Dudley, Kirk, Davis, Wheeler, Huntington, Casebeer, King, Bigbee and Motschenbacher.

Seat Sale Will Open Wednesday Morning. o 0 o ,*..•» ° „ O ( ( % o (By Mandell Weiss) A program of classical and popular* selections, interspersed now and then with clean comedy is promised by the Glee Club in concert on Friday evening at the Eugene theatre of this week. This will be the first oppor tunity extended to local people to witness the talent that Prof. Lyman has gathered this year. A verdict of “the best Glee Club that has ever appeared before local audiences’’ is the unanimous opinion expressed by their representative newspapers of these towns. Alfred Gillette who has been chos en as soloist created an immense pop ularity with the manner he rendered the selections. His voice needs no introduction. In the way of “stunts” something novel and original is promised by Gerard and Batley and Shaver who refuse, however, to di vulge the nature of these sketches which, they claim, would lessen the interest at the actual performance. The composite numbers of the Club have been carefully selected by Prof. Lyman. Each has its distinguishing musical value. The Club is not resting on its lau rels, however. Faithful rehearsals have been going on since their re turn with the result that a better and smoother performance is assured to the local people on Friday evening. Slight variations in the program of Thanksgiving are being made with a view of correcting some of the faults that crept in. A large audience is expected and Manager Don Rice hopes that as many of the students possible will attend. “The Club has worked hard and an indorsement, of the students’ appreciation is needed to make the enterprise a succes°s,” said Rice. 'The seat §ale will open Wednesday morning at the theatre box ‘office, and the usuaf request is made, “Get your seats early,” Student tickets will notQaSmit. o ° SOPHOMORES PLANNING DANCE DECORATIONS 50 00 Articifial Flowers on Ev ergreen Back-Ground Is Scheme o Actual work on the decoration of the gymnasium for the Sophomore hop will begin Friday afternoon.
