Has Many Functions. “The council will superintend the Junior Week-end entertainment and will see that the high school athletes are cared for in the best manner pos sible. An attempt will be made to do away with 'a large amount of the dissatisfaction and incidents that have heretofore always accompanied this affair. The yell leader is se lected by the council and it will see that the students are organized prop erly. The stunts pulled off at the games will be under the council’s supervision and that these shall be of a proper nature and carried off properly will be the duty of the stu dent council to oversee.

When a new ruling is made by the faculty concerning the students the “council will make ° endeavors•to see that this is done properly and justice is meted out to the stuednts.

Walker has consulted with Man ager Clifford of the team, who is a graduate of Oregon, and is now in correspondence with him concerning the proposition. Nothing was defin itely decided at the former meeting but Walker thinks that the prospects are favorable for securing the team to practice here. The catcher on the team, King, who also is in charge during the training season, is a Eugene man. The Baker team trains in the valley as they can start nnich sooner on ac count of weather conditions. If this deal is carried through, the Varsity will then have a short prac tice game every day and that they will be in*the prime of condition for the first conference games goes with out saying. FIFTH GAME OF SERIES WITH 0. A. C. TOMORROW Oregon’s Chances Good in Spite of “Dope.” Basket Shoot ing Has Improved Oregon meets O. A. C. tomorrow evening at 7:15 in the fifth game of the series. Out of the four games which have already been played the 'Aggies have taken three, and the dope is apparently against us. The general sentiment, however, is san guine. Bezdek’s men have put in a hard week of practice and are con sidered to be in the best condition they have exhibited thus far this sea son. Captain Fenton expressed the gen eral sentiment of the team by say ing, “We’ve a good chance to beat them here; but over there it is a toss-up. We played them one good i I game on their own ground and were j nosed out at the end; and we played j them one rotten game.’’ j The lineup of the teams has not I been announced; but for the Var j sity there will probably be the men j who have filled the various positions thus far this season—Fenton, Brad shaw, Walcott, Sims, Bigbee, Koch and Wheeler—played as Coach Bez dek sees fit on the spur of the mo ment. DANCE PLANS ARE SECRET Pan-Hellenic Invites All Women of the University. Plans for the Pan-Hellenic Dance were discussed Tuesday afternoon at the regular monthly* meeting of the Pan-Hellenic Association. “Everything looks as if our dance will be a success,’’ said Ruth Beach, Pan-Hellenic president, Wednesday afternoon. “We are keeping the plans for programs, favors and dec orations a secret. In this way all the girls will have a glad surprise. “Every woman in the University i is invited to come and we hope all of | them will. Each member of the j Pan-He!lenic committee has as I sumed the responsibility of inviting | personally a certain number of Uni j versity women who do not belong to i sororities. We want every woman I in college to be present at our danje March 28.” j this year will hold their positions un , til the close of the semester.

OREGON FROSH TRIM AGGIES 36-18 IS SCORE IN LAST TUESDAY NIGHT’S GAME FERNEY GETS EIGHT BASKETS Players Loud in Praise of 0. A. C. Hospitality. Work of Swan as Referee Meets With Gen eral Approval. (By Everett Saunders) With Ferney shooting more bas kets than the entire team of his op ponents and practically all his team mates backing him up with lesser numbers of field goals, the Oregon Freshman defeated the first year men of O. A. C. by the decisive score of 38-18 in last Tuesday’s game. The game though fast was clean at all stages, only five personal fouls being called by Referee Swan— three against the Aggies and two against Oregon. The Oregon hopefuls took the lead in the early stages and held it through the entire session. At the end of the first"half the score was 22-8, four of the Corvallis points be ing made from baskets after fouls. Ferney starred for the visitors with eight field goals; Bigbee and Hunt ington also showed up exceptionally well. Hustand and Carlson played creditable games for their team. A fairly large crowd, which lacked not at all in spirit, witnesed the con test. The players are loud in their praises of the treatment accorded them by their opponents. They were entertained at the various fraterni ties, and every effort was made to make them feel at home. The Line-Up. Oregon. O. A. C. D. Bigbee. ....... ,F. Wilson Ferney .F. Hustand Dudley .C.

CAP AND GOWN CUSTOM ATTACKEDBY SENIORS “Relic of Barbarism” Says Pe tition to Abolish Tradi tional Garb Stating that it is a relic of barbar ism, a wasteful expenditure of money and a custom that is useless and un necessary, the Senior S. I.’s have drawn up a petition which is being circulated among the Seniors for the abolishment of caps and gowns at the coming Commencement exercises. In speaking of the petition Alfred Collier, one of the active promoters, said: “We do not believe this cus tom is the proper thing and we do not think thqt a majority of the Se niors are in favor of. wearing .these robes during commencement week. The petition wag gotten up for the purpose of finding out how the mem bers of the class feel on the ques tion.” One of the principal clauses which decry the use of the caps and gown is one concerning the refusal of the faculty also to wear the robes on this occasion. “We think that if the paraphernalia is to be worn at all, the faculty should also wear them and make the dress of the whole as semblage of a uniform nature,” said Collier. “I think that the petition is finding considerable approval among the students.” The girls now have the document and the number favoring the petition is not believed to be as large as among the men. FIRST SOCCER TEAM CHOSEN SATURDAYS CLASH WILL INITIATE NEW SPORT AT OREGON COLUHillA HAS STRONG TEAM Contest Will Be in the Form of an Experiment". Only Three Oregon Men Have Ever Par ticipated in Association Ball. The first soccer football team of the University of Oregon was chosen this morning and will meet the strongest eleven in the state, Colum bia University of Portland, on Kin caid field Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The field will be muddy but the Columbia University men are used to mud Knd play their fast, hard game, with long swinging passes, on any kind of ground. Two or three men who have been barred from playing for Columbia in the inters scholastic soccer league in Portland are expected to be in the lineup against Oregon, notably Shevlin, an Irishman. xctum lue.xpmencea. The game is principally for exhibi tion purposes and all that is being asked of the Oregon eleven is that it give the best possible account of itself. The men have promised to do their best to win, hut of the 14 ask ed to appear in suits, only three have ever seen a soccer game. All their practicing has also been done art the baseball field and Kincaid will be as unfamiliar to them as to Columbia. The referee will probably be Pro fessor Bach, manager of athletics at Columbia. Admission of 25 cents will cover both game and grand stand and the irrterclass cross-coun try run will be begun before the first half starts, ending, it is expected, about the time the first half is over. May Substitute. Soccer halves are 4 5 minutes long. Commonly no substitutes are allow ed, but Columbia will be asked to permit substitutions in this game, partly to give all the men a bit of ex perience and partly to relieve men who may not be able to stand the strenuousness of 90 minutes of con tinuous Marathoning. Spellman, who formerly was him self a Columbia player, will captain the Oregon team. The lineup will be as follows: Goal—Ralston. Backs—Spellman and Campbell. Halves—Nickelson, Amspoker and Dinneeu. Right wing—Nelson and Boylen. Left wing—-'Pearson and Ford. Center—Tuerek. Substitutes—O’Connell, Hendricks ind Reifel. GLEE CLUBS TO EXCHANGE O. A. C. .Milifager Here to Arrange Dates; Vacancies on U. Club. The manager of the O. A. C. Glee Club is now in Eugene conferring with Student Manager last June, have been picked to lead the squad over tile course. Lee Bost wiek, who lias been showing up well recently, is tin; other runner who is , practically certain to represent the Frosh. Nelson, president of the class, and Fitzgibbon will likely complete the team. The personnel of none of the other teams are certain. For the Sophs, only Holt and O’Connell have been working regularly. But Fee and Hampton are among those who are prospective members. The Juniors have McConnell, Pack, Blaclcaby, Juareguy and Loucks if those who have been over the course only once or twice this spring can be induced to run. The Seniors? Trainer “Bill” Hayward said yesterday, “1 wonder who will run with Bob McCormick.” Then becoming serious, “Who ever heard of the Seniors having a team?” Gray McConnel, the veteran mid dle distance man, who established a new college r cord in the half-mile it the conference meet in 1911, en tered college only at the beginning of the present semester, and has ap parently not yet reached first-class physical condition. A handsome gold medal is being offered to the individual winoncr, 1,1 l0a„s*'vcr cup to be the permanent property of the team carrying away the smallest number of points. „ ooooooooooooooooooo o O o SENIORS. o o All Senior women see Edith o o Still and all Senior men see o o Wallace Caufield about num- o o her of commencement invita- o o tions wanted, and if calling o o cards are desired.

CONCERT LAST EVENING IS PRAISED WORK IS REPORTED FINISHED Emerald Correspondent Says Whole Program Was Well Received, Especially Quartet and Special Feature Numbers (By Nellie Hemenway) Cottage Grove, March 5.— (Special to Emerald).—Today the girls’ Glee Club has an unassailable position in the hearts of the Cottage Grove peo ple who love music as a result of their concert here last night. A large crowd greeted the club in the auditorium of the new high school building, and it was but a few mo ments until they were all captive to the fair song birds. One would hardly have guessed from the really finished way 1n which the young women took their parts that this was the first public appear ance of the club ns such. The en tire program was well chosen and well rendered and to mention every thing of merit would be to make a detailed resume of the program. Perhaps the number which best pleased the audience was the delight ful arrangement of Anuie Laurie by Dudley Buck, which was perfectly rendered. The Alma Mater song, “Carmena,” with its rythmical ca dences and the charming little negro lullaby, “The Dusk Witch,” all met with hearty encores. The encores, too, were clever, pleasing little things. Quartette Makes Hit. The quartette, “Last Night,” sung by Eva Brock, Marie Churchill, Bu ree McConahy and Leah Perkins was one of the most beautiful numbers of the entire list. Professor Lyman’s solo, “The Spring," was most enthusiastically received, and the work of Miss Mona Dougherty at the piano was brilliant without being hard and cold. She quite won her audience which is a difficult thing for a pianist to do when in competition with singers. Miss Virginia Peterson sang D’Harde lot.’s, “I Hid My Iajve,” with sweet ness, and Miss Janet Young’s read ing, “Bill Smith," provoked long ap plause. niuian loatuio Pleases. Tlie Indian feature was something entirely new and' most pleasing. The songs were exquisite and the spirit of them was admirably carried out In the costuming and the pantomime. Both the solos, sung by Miss Eva Brock, Miss Leah Perkins, Miss Ro zella Knox and Miss Marie Churchill, and tlie choruses were well rendered. “The Land of the Sky Blue Water” met with unmitigated approval. 1917 CLASS WILL AWARD NUMERALS IN ATHLETICS Plan for Matinee Dance Also Discussed at Meeting Wednesday • That numerals be awarded to freshmen officially representing the class of 1917 in athletic contests, and that °a committee be appointed by President Nelson to ascertain who were eligible to receive them, was the resolution passed by the fresh man class at its meeting in Villard Hall, Wednesday morning. It was decided that a matinee dance be given by the class and a committee is to be appointed to se cure the date and make all arrange ments.
