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.

CO-ED SINGERS PUT OFF
COTTAGE GROVE PROGRAM
Trip to Be Made One Week Lat
er. 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

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.”

ble form and embodying the provi
sions which have been mentioned,
will be read at tomorrow’s assembly.

Y. M. WILL EDIT EMERALD
Saturday’s Paper to Be Issued By j
Special Staff.
With forty reporters bustling
around the campus in search of news,
active work in the way of filling the
news space of the Y. M. C. A. edi
tion of the Emerald for Saturday has
commenced. 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. Extra carriers will be put
on to carry the papers.”
Fred Dunbar will be sporting ed- ■
itor with Blair Holcomb as assistant.
Leslie Tooze is the business manager
and Max Sommers city editor. i
