BASKET SHOOTERS TO
PUY TWELVE GAMES
Four Stars of Last Year’s
Doughnut Series Return
to College.
Freshmen Barred. Vermont
Also Reinstates Sport
This Year.
Since basketball has been reinstated
and Oregon is a member of the Pacific
Coast basketball conference, fans are
looking over the dope and calculating
the most likely candidates for the vars
ity team and its chances in the con
ference games after a year of non-inter
eollegiate ball.
Freshmen will not be permitted to play
in the eonfe.rence'games.
Farley, and McCready, forwards; Carl
Nelson and Butt,' guards; and Roberts,
center, were the all-deughnut selections
made last year by Chester Fee. Fee’s
second team was composed of Woods
and Cate, forwards; Campbell and Med
ley, guards; and Dick Nelson, center.
Of these men Butt, first team guard,
and Woods, second team forward, are
not back this year.
Of course, there are many possibili
ties that a number of men not chosen
by Fee in his teams will show up strong
when Coach Bezdek gets busy in De
cember.
•Oregon will play twelve games, four
each with University of California, O.
A. C. and University of Washington.
Two games with each rival will be play
ed at .Eugene. The dates will be de
cided when the conference meets Decem
ber 1. in Seattle.
Along with Oregon. Vermont also re
instates basketball this year. Vermont
tried non-intercollegiate basketball but
found the proposition not well received
by the students. In discussing the mat
ter the Vermont Cynic says:
“The advantages of the game are
many and evident. With four varsity
sports, as at present, football, baseball,
track and tennis, there is little or noth
ing of athletic interest through the
winter. Class basketball interests prac
tically those playing only; the relay
team gets out a few candidates and in
door tennis occupies a few more. But
there is nothing of general interest to
the whole student body, nothing to
carry over a live spirit from football
to baseball and track. In the winter,
when outside attractions are at a stand
still, there is need for some centraliz
ing agent. Basketball, confined as it is
to the gymnasium, would centralize the
interest and spirit of the student body.
A big attendance at the games would
be a certainty. We might even expect
that a basketball spirit would equal
that of football or baseball; it at least
would serve to intensify the athletic
spirit.
“The number of men henefitted physic
ally would be large. The class teams
usually engage fifty or more men in
a haphazard way. These men practice
one or two nights before a game and
get as much harm as good from the
class games. With a varsity team more
men would be out and they would be
subjected to regulnr and nystematic
training. Men playing on other varsity
teams would be kept in condition. It
would be a matter of general benefit

to all the teams and would engage some
men who otherwise do not participate
in athletics.
“The publicity which the University
would derive from a basketball team
would be extremely valuable. Basket
ball is yet largely an amateur sport
and a college supporting a team at
tracts attention that is lost in the
wider scope of football and baseball.
Basketball would bring athletes here
who would be valuable on all the teams.
Colleges such as Williams and Wes
leyan would be met. with whom we
have no other athletic relations. Basket
ball would help to make Vermont dis
tinctive in athletic circles.”
Conference Will Attempt to
Educate Oregonians.
“Improvement of Highways Not
Merely an Expense” Will
Be Theme.
In an effort to educate the people to
the fact that money spent for road im
provement is not merely an expense but
an investment to be regarded along the
principles of economics. Prof. F. G.
Young, dean of the graduate school and
for years a lender in Oregon common
wealth conferences, is making prepara
tions to have as wide a representation
as possible from all classes and parts of
Oregon, at this year’s commonwealth
conference.
“Highway improvement will be one of
the chief considerations of this year’s
conference,” said Mr. Young, “and we
are making arrangements to have the _
State Conservation commission, county
officials from all counties of the state,
and all voluntary associations working
for road improvement represented at this
meeting.”
Mr. Young also plans to have several
national highway organizations represent
ed in order that the movement may be
known nationally. The University of
Oregon’s work along the liue of highway
improvement has been widely known for |
the past ten years since an Oregon
pamphlet was used by the Wisconsin
legislature resulting in the revision of
the state’s statutes regarding highways
and improvements. Another university
pamphlet on good roads was used as u
text at tiie Columbia university in New
York.
A map will be made showing all Ore
gon roads and the amount and kind of
improvements made upon them as well
as the amount of traffic which passes
over them. •.
The matter of enlisting national aid
to put roads through government for
est reserves will be taken up by the con
ference in order that the eastern and
western parts of the state may be more
closely connected.
Mr. Young states that the common
wealth conference will be held during
the latter part of December or early in
January but it is not known definately
whether the meeting will be held in Eu
gene or not. It is possible that it may
be held in Portland.
