SHOW REFORM SPIRIT IT N. W. CONFERENCE Oregon Representative Says “Never Such Cleaning Up Athletically as at Session.” Tiint the Northwest Conference probab ly never had such a cleaning tip athletic ally ns it underwent at its session last week, is the opinion of Colin V. Dyinent, faculty representative of Oregon, and pre sident of the new Pacific Coast Confer ence. There was a general spirit of re form in the conference, he explained, which did not arise necessarily from fac ulty influence, although it so happened that each institution was represented by one faculty member. Faculty Members to Attend As its first bit of cleaning tip, the con ference passed the following resolution: “Each institution shall he represented in meetings of the conference by a faculty member who is» not. commercially inter ested in athletics, and who shall east thej vote for his institution; and if desired by not: more than two others.” This movement, removing voting power from those “commercially interested, was not a faculty movement. Professor Dyinent says, but a move of the coaches themselves. Coach Hezdek took his stand j ns favoring it. As a second reform, pre-season, football training camps were legislated out. No (ember 12 was set as the earliest dal ■ , for practices, and these to be held no where but on the campus. Scouting Is Eliminated A third achievement in the cleaning up program was to establish a definition " scouting and to recommend that the prne tice of it be absolutely prohibited. A def inition submitted by tin* T’niversily n j Oregon delegates was rejected finally by , the coaches as being too lax. Professor | Dyinent was chairman of a ... winch formulated the definition accepted by the conference. The definition inelinbe such things as correspondence between coaches and prospective students, and paying the fare of high school athletes to interscholastic meets fostered by a University. “A further evidence of the good spirit pervading the conference, Professor Dy incut said, “was the wholly cordial feel ings over the new coast conference. An other important factor involved was the recommendation to faculties that their representatives be sent authorized to ac cept schedules definitely. There was no beckoning off delegates for private con versa tlou, no sudden silences when a third party passed. ‘The conference action has not trim med athletics,” Professor Dyinent said. "The football schedule for next year will lie one of the heaviest and best we have ever had.” INTERCLASS BASKETBALL STARTS AFTER CHRISTMAS The basketball games in the “dough nut” league will lie played off on the percentage basis this year instead id Ip the elimination method as lias previous ly been the ease. Every team will have | li chance to pla.v a team from every other organization. The interelasH series will start the basketball season. The interelass cham pionship last year was won by the Soph omores. “Bill” Hayward has planned another series to be played after the “doughnut” and interclass matches. This series will determine ultimately who are the best players in the I'niversity. Twenty-five ’men will be chosen to be captains of as many teams. Another set of 25 men will captain the 25 teams, ranking next. This classification will be carried on until every man who plays basketball will have been covered. Then the players will he numbered and each captain will draw from the groups until all the teams shall he picked. “livery man in college who is inter ested in basketball will have a chance to play in the college championship league,” said Mr. Hayward. “Fraternity or class will not be considered. This method seems lo be the fairest way of determin ing the teams. This series will be played off about the first of the year.” Notice.

The committee, of which Cloyd Dawson is chairman has revised the constitution and a draft of the revisions will be read before the student body for their aceept nnce. The reading has been changed in some ‘SO odd places. At the present time in Article II, Sec tion II, of the constitution, covering who shall belong to the associated students, the name of the University Law school is left out. An amendment will be submit ted to the effect that the words “Law School” be inserted in this clause. Also there will be considered an amend ment placing the control of all athletics for which.an “O” shall be awarded in the hands of the athletic committee and all other sports in charge of the executive committee. Soccer is already in the hands of the executive committee, but minor athletics have no special provision made for them. “Now when any minor sport needs money for a trip the matter must be brought up before the students and it means a lot of red tape and wasted time,” said Cloyd Dawson, sponsor for this amendment. “Under the new amendment the question would never have to be sub mitted and the executive committee could take care of the proposition and arrange for trips, schedules, etc.” Mme.
