Monday, December 3, representatives of the universities and colleges making up the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate conference are to meet in San Francisco to consider the problems which have grown out of the conference athletic contests of the past year and probably to arrange schedules for the coming year. Judging from the advance notice of the meeting sent out by the secretary there are many live issues to be brought to the at tention of the delegates among them being the freshman eligi bility rule. Oregon Agricultural College will reopen this ques tion, contending that all first-year men be allowed to partici pate in athletic contests, provided they have never participated in any freshman or intercollegiate sports previous to entering school. What motive O. A. C. has in reopening this convention of the past few years is not known but, by all means, the one year residence rule, as it now stands, should continue in force. Last year the contention in favor of its abolition was that the war would make such inroads on conference teams as to make con tinuance of intercollegiate athletics impossible. The forecast, however, has not worked out. This year the University, for instance, had more men out for football than ever before in the history of the school, although but one letter man of the 1916 team returned to college. Oregon men enlisted here and they enlisted there, but when the call for football was sounded there were others to take thir places. Next year the same thing will be repeated. No,'there is no good and valid excuse for doing away with the strongest tie between the Pacific Coast and other intercollegiate conferences of the coun try. There is, however, one highly important question which the conference should settle for once and all time—that of the en forcement of conference contracts. 1 ho broken contract between Oregon and Washington is but one instance of evil which, if al lowed to continue, will lead to disruption of the conference and serious misunderstandings between the colleges included in the organization. Until it is strictly understood that all athletic contests entered into between the colleges throughout the con ference must be fulfilled in every particular, unless some agi ce ment to the contrary is entered into by both contracting schools, the conference cannot even command the respect of its own mem b'U’s. Until that time the conference will fail in the fundamental purpose for which it exists—that of regulating the athletic con duct of the principal schools of the const. It, is indeed a laughable state of affairs when one of the par ticipating colleges in the conference is allowed to entirely disre gard its written word attached to an instrument made under the provisions of the conference. Until the niversity of Washington is made to understand that its agreements with the other colleges must stand, conference contracts might just as well be wiitten in smoke in a sixty-mile gale. _ (Continued from pnge one’) few 'turned out nt the beginning, httt at present drey is the only one out. lu the heavyweight division.

Her own mental re notions did not seam clear-cut enough. Julian Leslie as the extjuisite Tom my did very well. His comedy lines were especially good, and brought him no little applause. Margaret Crosby did some very in telligent work in the part of the step mother. She deserves special credit for her excellent interpretation of a part which is so very unlike her own I character. -U—1 am 1-1 I S'.uie—si a ■ 1 u hat. a. .really ! 'Opahle person can do with a little part. Her interpretation of Signore Isturi was one of the best things in the play. The work of Ruth Young os Mine. Labi nolle, was also very good. Aside from several rather obvious promptings, the work of tiie entire cast was a credit to the department. MIMES 10 UPHOLD WESTEifOOTBILl Johnny Beckett’s Men Chosen as Second Representation for Oregon on Pasa dena Gridiron. Eastern Team Not Yet Chosen, But University of Pittsburg1 Likely Prospect. Johnny Beckett's Mare Island marines, who defeated Oregon 27—0, three weeks ago, have been chosn to defend the honors of th West In the annual inter seetional battle New Year's day at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. The choice was made by the Pasadena of ficials on the strength of the wonderful record the Marines have made. They have not lost a single game all season, and were scored on only once, and that was in a game against the Olympic club of Han Francisco, after they had practiced together three days. May Be U. of Pittsburg The eastern eleven to oppose the Marines has not yet been selected, al though it is rumord that the University of Pittsburg’s undefeated eleven may be the lucky team. Pittsburg is the logical champion of eastern football this year, having played some of the strong est teams and being the only team to escape defeat. Few Heavyweights Out The service camp tennis at Camp Custer, Mich., and Allentown. Pa., are also under consideration, and judging from their records, ought to be able to give the Marines a worthy struggle. Oregon's Second Appearance This will bo the second time in two years that the Oregon team will be represented on the Pasadena field. The 14—0 victory over Pennsylvania is still too fresh in the minds of Oregon stu dents and in fact the whole sport-lov ing public, to call for any comment. Three “soldiers of the sea” helped to accomplish the downfall of the sons of Ilill Penn, on that memorable day, name ly Mitchell, Huntington and Beckett. The other two Oregon men, Hailey and llall, will uphold the glory of the coast for the first time. “Lot’s Go,” Now Song by W. F. G. Thacher. Fred Packwood, Committee Chair man Wants Every One With New Idoa, to Try. Did you forget ro compose that song for the song contest, or did you think there was no chance, because you didn't get it in before HomecomingV Oregon still needs songs, says Fred Packwood, chairman of the committee to see that they are furnished, and although several good productions have been submitted, he urges that more people contriljitc their attempts. An animated song called, “Let's Go!” and the music for it has been written by Prof. W. F. G. Timelier. Good con tributions were handed in by M. F. Mc Clain, manager of the "Co-op,” and Adrienne lapping. We want peppy songs and we want everyone with an idea to try.

Coach Hayward Urges Everyone • Who Has Two Legs to : Turn Out for Trial ] Run. ] Chances to Beat 0. A. C. Dark; < Six Men on Each ; Team. ! Coach “Bill” Hayward has selected *• Monday afternoon as the date of the tryout for the cross-country run with the Aggies on Thanksgiving Day, in Portland. All aspirants for the team are urged to be on hand to circle the course, then for the final round before the run. Very few contestants have been trying out for the team thus far, although some have been turning out regularly. “Dubs” Mulkey, sophomore from Mon mouth, has been showing up well in the preliminary work. Dwight Parr, half- . back on the soccer team, is another prospect upon whom Hayward is resting his hopes. Have no Experience Neither of these two have had any previous experience in cross-country, but both are distance men in track. Be sides these, several others have been training for the tryouts, but Hayward is doubtful ns to his chances because of the small number, who have been prac ticing. Reports from Corvallis are to the ef- ‘ feet that O. A. C. has a very good team, . and is confident that it can easily de feat the lemon-yellow runners. Coach Hayward is hopeful, but does not think ■that the Oregon spirit can make an un experienced team run in form, well enough to beat the Aggies. Preliminary to Game The meet is to be a preliminary to the O. A. C.-Oregon game.. The event will start on Multnomah field, where the first two laps will be run, and then the runners will take to the streets and finish a couple of times around the track. It has nut been decided how many men will compete on each team, but it probably will be six. The coach is anxious to have as many mien as possible tryout on Monday. Any one except a freshman, who can run three miles, is eligible.
