TEXANS INSTITUTE NEW GAME
FOR FRESHMAN GYM CLASSES
A new game for the Freshman
gym classes has been worked out by
the athletic department, at Texas
University, which is becoming veery
popular among the Freshmen. The
game, as it is now played, is a com
bination of football and basketball.
The ball is kicked off the same as in
football, and the line formation is
very similar. As many as thirty can
play on a side, and no man can run
more than ten yards with the ball.
Tackling is not allowed. The most
successful method of playing is double
and triple forward pass. In the opin
ion of the Freshman gym directors
the game will be very successful, as
it keeps all the men in action all the
time. Aside from this, it should de
velop good passing among future can
didates for the football team.
Even the University of Indiana has
tired of the old-fashioned twostep and
waltz. The Hoosier students long for
the privilege of following the elusive
Teirpsichore through the mazes of
her new art and have petitioned the
student council to reinstate the new
1 dances at campus affairs.

men concerning their college work
and social activities.
DEAN STRAUB* PRESIDES AT
FRESHMAN CLASS MEETING
The oldest member of the faculty
meeting in Villard Hall Wednesday
resided over the Freshmen Wednesday
morning. Kent Wilson, Frosti Presi
dent, did not appear, and as Dean
Straub could not locate the Vice-Pres

himself and directed the meeting.
A motion was carried to purchase
numerals for all men who make the
various Freshman athletic teams. This
is in accordancee with previous cus
tom. Thomas Campbell was unani
mously elected manager of the Fresh
man basketball team.
The Freshman girls at the Univer
sity of Kansas have planned to take
long hikes every Saturday in order to
become acquainted.
Fairmount College, Kansas, has
been closed until after Thanksgiving
recess, on account of an epidemic of
smallpox. Six members of the foot
ball squad have contracted the dis
ease.

Eugene War Relief Association Col*
lects Garments for European
Sufferers; Money Also
Since the Eugene War Relief Asso
ciation sprang into”existence about a
month ago seven hundred garments
for the European war sufferers have
been collected.

ject the gathering of money and pro

ciation, Mrs. W. P. Boynton, chairman

will handle only new clothing. All
