OREGON VOL. XV. EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, 9- °g-_Q-Q,. EMERALD FEBRUAMRY 24, 1914. NO. LIII. it AGGIE” FIVE HERE TONIGHT 0. A. C. SENDS DELEGATION OF 150 ROOTERS WITH TEAM NAY 18 REPORTED INJURED If He Does Not Play, Christman Will Probably Substitute. Seiberts Will Go in at For ward During Series. (By Fred Dunbar) One hundred and fifty strong, ac companied by a 35-piece band, the Oregon Agricultural College will in vade Oregon territory tonight to try to capture their initial basketball game in this year’s series. The rooters will arrive in the city at 7 o’clock, will form in parade at the depot and headed by the cadet band will march to the gym. Reservations in the gym were ask ed for 150 footers and these Manager Dean Walker will hol'd out. Referee Peter W. Lee of the Port land Y. M. O. A., has beeu engaged to officiate and will call the game promptly at 7: 30. The outcome is problematical, to :say the least. Neither team has tried <out the other and the only way of determining their relative strength is by comparative scores with the Washington team. Teams About Equal. Up to date the two teams are con sidered to be about equal though “dope” gives Oregon a little the bet ter of it on passing and covering the floor. The Varsity has played in streaks this year on basket shooting but if a reasonable number of bas kets attempted score, O. A. C. may be defeated' tonight. In the Washington-Oregon series, their inability to locate the basket lost her the games. Otherwise Wash ington would not now have the championship of the western division so neatly tucked under her arm. But that is history. Coach Bezdek has been wo~king the men on basket shooting and with fair luck, Oregon should win. “The men put up a very poor exhibition Friday night,” said the coach yes terday. “I do not know what to ex pect from them but I think our chances are at least even.” Walker Is Optimistic. "if Oregon finds that basket, it is good-night for the Aggies,” said Graduate-Manager Walker yesterday in speaking of the coming game. Coach Bezdek has been playing his men according to the opposing team’s lineup and as yet is unable to say just how the Varsity will line up to night. O. A. C.’s lineup is not known, but it most probably will be Dewey, Blakeley, forwards; Mix, center; King and May, guards. It has been reported that May is out of the game for the rest of the year but this is thought to be mere rumor. It is a usual occurrence for the man of Albany fame to be in jured during mostoof the seasons in which he is interested and it is thought that he will be on the floor tonight. If it should b§ that he is injured, Chrisman would protfhbly take his place. Seiberts at forwa d will also more than likely put in an appearance before the series are over. ooooooooooooooooooo o o o SENIORS. o o o o Important meeting of th? o o Senior class Wednesday 4 o o p. m.. in Dr. Schmidt’s room, o o Deady Hall.

Better Accommodations Promised for March 4 The Women’s Glee Club has post poned its concert tour to Cottage Grove until Wednesday, March 4. “We can have better accommoda tions ■' we wait a week,” said Cath erine Carson. Manager of the Glee Club. “The people of Cottage Grove are giving a large entertainment that same night as we had planned for our concert. We heard yesterday that they would rather we would wait another week to go. And as some of the girls in the club would be better prepared for the concert we have decided to wait.” PLiNS FOR PAN-HELLENIC DANCE BEING DISCUSSED Will Try Out New Ideas at Af fair Scheduled for March 28 “Tell every woman in college to come to the dance and invite a man for herself. We want everybody,” said Ruth Beach, president of the Pan-Hellenic which is giving its sec ond annual dance March 28 at the Men’s gymnasium. “We are planning to try several ideas which have not been carried out at previous University dances,” declared Miss Beach. “Decorated booths with certain letters of the al phabet over each may be made for the girls to stand in. A girl will stand under the initial letter of her surname. Another plan will be the use of one program for a couple— the man keeping the program and filling it before he returns it to the girl. “We may have one cotillion dance, but none of the plans are definite until the committees meet next Tues day,” continued Miss Beach. The chairmen of the committees are: Music, Meta Goldsmith; Deco • ations, Marguerite Rankin; Pro grams, Norma Graves; Patronesses, Maude Mastick; Floor, Wilma Young; and Punch, Agnes Elliot. CUP WILL BE AWARDED IN INTER-FRAT BASEBALL Plans Now Being Made for Spring Sports by League of Clubs A cup will be awarded to the win ning team in the Inter-Fraternity Baseball League, according to Allie Grout, president of the league. “The team making second place may also receive a cup if a Eugene merchant feels inclined to make a donation,” he further said. Last year the cup for second place was given by Obak’s cigar store. Baseball will not begin until the handball tournament is played, which will be in a week or two. A definite date for the tournament will be de cided upon- next Thursday when the Fraternity Athletic Council meets. Plans and a schedule for baseball will also be made. ASSISTANT MANAGERASKED No Pay For Job but Sweater—Walk er Says Experience" Valuable. Graduate-Manager Dean Walker announces that he will receive ap plications for assistan-manager of track or baseball for the coming seasons. “There is no remuneration at tached to these positions,” said Walker, “but there is a lot of good experience there that is well worth the time of any student.” For each branch of sports the as sistant managers are awarded sweat ers at the end of the season. Boylen will receive one Wednesday morn ing for his work in connection with football season. STUDENT LAWS MAY CHANGE AMENDMENT WILL BE READ BEFORE STUDENT BODY Tomorrow STUDENT COUNCIL PROVIDED Special Committee of Seniors Draws up Articles Which Will Abolish Executive Com mittee if Adopted.

This is to be composed of the President and the Secretary of the Student Body, the President of the Women’s League, the Editor of the “Emerald,” three men and two women from the Senior, and two men and one woman from the Junior classes of the following year. On the event of the formation of this body being favored by the students, it will take over several of the powers now vested in the Execu tive Committee. Purpose Is Stated. “The main purpose of this coun cil,” said' Willard Shaver, chairman of the comimttee, last evening, “will be to act as an intermediary between the students and the faculty. It will t be a board of appeal, to which any undergraduate may present his case and have it referred to the faculty.” An amendment cast in an accepta ble form and embodying the provi sions which have been mentioned, will be read at tomorrow’s assembly. Then, as the Constitution provides, it will be laid upon the table for a week and voted upon at the following as sembly, Wednesday, March 4. May Have Special Election. The members, of which the Coun cil will be composed, will be elected at the regular Student Body election after this year. However, if the amendment is adopted at this time, another amendment providing for the holding of a special election, for the purpose of choosing members for the Council to serve tthe remainder of the present school year will be pro posed. The amendment in its final form will be published in Thursday’s “Emerald.” The members on the committee which drafted the amendment are Willard' Shaver, chairman; Alva Grout, Eleanor McClaine, Bertha Dorris and A1 Davies.

More than enough ad vertising space has been sold to pay foe the issue. “There will 0be a departure this year from the style of precedin'^ years—in that there will not be so much Y. M. C. A. reading matter as formerly,’’ said Editor Lamar Tooze yesterday. “There will be much more University news. We intend to have part of the issue run off a day or two early so there will be no great rush at the last. By this means it is hoped to have the papers ready for delivery by half past seven or eight o’clock.

Since then we have offered other dntj.s but have heard nothing. Unless an an swer is received soon we will make arrangements with Jefferson High of Portland, which wants a game.
