TEN TEAMS WILL PLAY IN DOUGHNUT LEAGUE No One Who Has Formerly Par ticipated in a Varsity Game Eligible Decides Committee Each team in the interfraternity bas ketball league will this year play every one of the other ten teams, and at the end of the season, the quintet having the highest percentage will gain the champ ionship. This was the contents of a mo tion passed at a meeting of the doughnut league committee held Saturday after noon, when it was decided that in lieu of the abolition of varsity basketball, more games should be played and the percent age basis should supplant the elimination basis. And, as in years before, no man who has participated in a varsity game will be eligible. This means that those who played on the varsity team last year will not be seen in action during the coming season. This provision was allowed t« stand after a long argument and the de feat of two motions. Practice is to start this week. The committee has foreseen that the enlarged schedule will make for more practicing and as a result has appointed fixed hours for the workouts of each organization. The hours are as follows: Sigma Nu, Tuesday, 3 to 4; Phi Delta Theta, Thurs day, 5 -to G; Betas, Saturday, 3 to 4; Delta Tail Delta, Thursday, 4 to 5; Iota Chi, Tuesday, 5 to G; Sigma Chi, Wed nesday, 5 to G; Phi Gamma Delta, Sat urday, 4 to 5; A. T. O., Monday, 5 to G; Kappa Sigma, Friday, 3 to 4; Oregon Club, Monday, 3 to 4; Dori%'tory, Friday. 5 to G. The bourse were apportioned by lot. Each team has exclusive right to the floor at its time. At the next meeting of the committee, i the schedule will be drawn up, and the | time for starting determined. Those present Saturday were: Glen | Dudley, Dal King. Jim Cossman, Floyd j South, Claud Hampton, Jack Elliott. Dick Nelson, Don Byrd, Harry Kuek. Harold | McCullough and Bernard Breeding. BAND HAS BRAND NEW REPERTOIRE FOR TODAY — Something new in the line of hand music may be expected today, according to A. F. Perfect, director. “The boys have been practicing hard and .are in good shape. Besides the usual boola-boolas and ‘On Oregons’ we will have some new standard marches and also catchy popular airs. The band wi’l meet all trains and will help in rally and the general program. “We need a new band; that is, a be ginner’s band. My idea is to have two organizations that one could be supplied from the other. It is not difficult to learn to play the band instruments and, if the students will only come and sign up with me I will teach them three hours a week and see that arrangements are made for instruments. The University ought to buy band instruments and rent them to the students. I have seen it tried out in other schools and in a short time the instruments pay for themselves. “After the excitement of this week end is over the present University band will give a popularly priced concert, the proceeds of which will go to purchase band uniforms. Trips to small towns around Eugene vjill be planned later on. We have a good band and there is no reason why we may not come up to any of the university bands around here.” UNIVERSITY WOMEN The women of the University are planning collective singing and yelling, which makes it imperative that every loyal Oregon fanette sit in the bleach ers to get the en masse effect.

Editorial Note—In my firm belief that an era of good feeling exists between the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College, I am printing this story on my own responsibility, knowing that it will result in good. It is high time that both institutions joined hands in a cooperative ef fort to remove stigma that still clings to the fair names of both institutions. This reminiscence will serve its purpose if it reflects the change of spirit that has taken place be tween the state's two institutions of higher education—a transformation effected since five years ago.—M. H. S. (By C. A. M.) “IT. of O. cau’t get our goat.” This flaunt, painted in bold letters that stood belt high to the lankiest O. A. C. rooter, as flashed across the Cor vallis field between halves of a football game that occurred on the twelfth after noon of November, 1010. As co]flie sup plement to the banner, an innocent four legged animal of the butting variety was yanked along at the head of the sway ing procession of rooters. To this day, let’s grant so far as things go literally, that goat is still chewings its quid in agricultural precincts. But, what was perhaps more important, at the end of the game the University ledger had a point for every day that had ticked the calendar that month, while the college braves hadn’t nicked the register. Usually the game is the piece de re sistance of any old kind of a day. But on this particular day history was made after the game and resistance wasn’t entirely absent from the reckoning. Evidently many a lad had erawlel out the wrong side of the bod that 'morn ing, or else some impertinent sir had twisted the tail of the proverbial black cat. Anyhow the jig was up and here is -an abridged summary of what hap pened: A machine carrying an injured play er was challenged for the password, and colors, together with handy parts of the auto were jerked to earth. Several hundred proud pennants, arm bands and rooter hats flew mysteriously to new owners without legal transfers of title. A thousand tempers were lost and as many oaths spoken. One zealous rooters was treated to a haircut that slicked his dome right down to the quick. In a rush at the depot, one student was floored with a bump on the head and carted away in an unconscious con dition. A freshman lost his green cap, be cause he had to keep both hands on his crutches in order to stand up. The Ahneek club of O. A. C. has been granted a chapter of Alpha Tau Omega.

Then came charges and counter charges. The tales about that colege scrap made dents in the newspapers of the state as wide and tall as the flashes that now come from the scene of the present little tilt over where our ancestors were born. One of the editorials was headed “Boys Will Be Boys’’ and in one of the com munications sent to the Oregonian, “Gunhilda Shinbones,” who admitted him or her self to be an old maid, shed co pious tears of respect for the dear col lege boys from Eugene who had their faces soiled so rudely. The Oregon Emerald in a stinging ed itorial asked Corvallis, “What Are you going to do about it?” The Corvallis collegians answered on November 21 by calling off athletic re lations with the State University, on the ground that the Emerald editorial and other press notices were too saucy. The Oregon campus retored, “They’ve simply beaten us to it.” Meanwhile, the sober heads of the two faculties were conducting a joint inves tigation of the alleged muss. Their re port’was not filed until December 21, exactly a month after the college men had taken the bit into their own mouths. The joint faculty report, back and behind soft-pedal censure here and there for both sides to the fracas and salve in nearly every paragraph to heal all tinges of bruise and fracture, affirmed the substance of every charge that had been made. Anyone wishing to re fresh memory on this point, might read the full report in the Oregonian of De cember 22, 1910. Chips were still carried on varsity and college shoulders for nearly two years, but finally after many overtures for peace, the breach was bridged and again to the satisfaction and comfort of all, and now, what was perhaps the most' spectacular event in the college history of the state, is related by the alumnus to the undergraduate as a parcel of roman tic lore. “WE’RE NOT UCe,” ROARS RAIL) CROWD ° 0 J_-° o; . ..." 0 Students Won’t be Pessimistic Desptie Aggies’ Superior Weight and Experience. “It is a small college and there are those who love it.” I Webster's old statement expresses the ■ sentiment voiced in the big football rally held in Vil'ard hall Wednesday morning. There was no spirit of pessimism in the assembly. Conch Bezdek rose and roared, "We're outweighed, out-experi enced, out-doped. We're the under dog. Are we licked?” “Xo,” bellowed the crowd. “We always have been the under dogs. They have licked us three times in 21 pears. With all their dope they can't lick us. They can out-vote us, but they eau't OUT-FIGHT us. If we fight they can’t lick us.” The coach sat down while the hundreds of students howled their approbation. | "I came here resolved to be neutral. « It can't be done,” cried Bishop Walter T. Sumner. “The eyes of all Oregon are on you Saturday. The state will meas ure you not by the score but by the spirit. Fight every inch. Say, ‘All for Oregon!’ ” In the past Oregon has gone into game after game with her back to the wall, the dope against her, has out-fought, and has whipped, the confident Aggies. The only time of late when Oregon has been favored by the dope she came near losing the game herself. This year the future looks bad for her. The team is green, light and inexperienced. The field is muddy. The Aggies have proved their doubtless strength. Oregon is up against it. But she has been there before. The students trust not what the Aggies call the “Oregon jinx,” but what Oregon calls the “Orosron fiirht.” FRESHMAN SMOKER IS DEC.3 Kappa 'Sigma will Rive its annual smok er to all the freshmen of the University on Friday night, December 3. The smoker is an annual event, its purpose being to promote freshman fellowship, unity and spirit. All of the upperclass men and sophomores will vacate for the evening, turning the house over to the freshmen, who will be hosts. Music, stunts, wrestling, and boxing will fill the program. Each house is planning to put on one wrestling and one boxing bout. The 'barroom will bo run “wide open,” the “liquor” will be served all during the evening, and an unlimited stock of free lunch will be carried.
