Definite arrangements with .Multnomah Club, of Portland, were completed last night to 'bring the dub eleven to lviD .gene Saturday for the first game of the season for Coach H'untington’s warriors. Manager Marion McCiain bias been busy the past few days in attempting to, get the clubmen here for an opening game but was unsuccessful, owing to the fact that they wished to play in Portland. A telegram from Portland last night set tled the matter and the Rose City aggre gation will line up against the lemon yellow eleven .Saturday afternoon on Kin raid field. Coach Huntington is not very opti mistic in speaking of the outlook for a victory, and1 has not announced his line al) as yet, although he will probably msc a number of men in an attempt to get a line on what he can expect from them during the season. (Last night’s was the peppiest little practice’the team has been through for some time and they showed a marked improvement in their work. Coaches Huntington and Spellman said they were both well pleased with the workout. Jonsen Out of Game. “Pete’1 Jensen, who has been going strong for a backfield position, has dropped out of the squad and will be un able to play this season, according to bis doctor’s verdict. This means one more backfield man out of the running, and it is the backfield that at present giving the coaches the greatest amount of con cern. The line is. showing pp good, in fact, the competition for a line berth en the varsity is getting so keen that no one is sure of a position as yet. Hunt ington is working about 1-1 men on tile line and as yet is not making any pre dictions as to who will hold down the positions in the first conference game. Xo doubt tlie line-up in Saturday’s game «ill go a long ways towards deciding the contest among a number of the aspir ants. Multnomah may be expected to bring down a fast and husky eleven as they have been working for the past month with a good turnout at each practice. There are la number of old Oregon players trying out with the club eleven, among them F.d Strowbridge, who was iu Huntington's backfield squad lust year.

G. con stitution will bo presented by Harris Ellsworth, former manager of the Emer ald and the Oi'egana, students yearbook. The amendment proposes to raise the amount which the editor and manager of the Emerald may make during a year from $100 to $400 apiece. According to Ellsworth, this merely means that the editor and manager of the college publi cation. which began the year as a daily, might make more than the $100 a year, should they clear that much after all ex penses for the year have been paid. This money would not come from the treas ury of the Associated Students, but would be earned as a result of their own work, he said. The $100 arrange ment was made when the Emerald was issued but twice a week.

BAND MEETING GIVES PROMISING OUTLOOK Thirty-five Musicians Turn Out at First Call; May Play for Satur day’s Game. With thirty-five enthusiastic musicians out at the hand meeting in Vi Hard hall last night, prespects for a good band this year seem particularly promising. A majority of the men were new. but the old men were fairly well divided over the various sections of the band. It was found, however, that becivase the "band is without a library, a director, or a fund of any kind, it will be impossi ble for them to turn out for today’s ral ly. Sufficient money was personally ad vanced bv those interested to allow for a buried order to Portland that will furnish enough music on which to start the season. If the plans for a game Saturday are realized the hand will be whipped into shape for that date. Rand practice was called for Friday night in Villard hall at five p. m. Wheth er a man will make a position on the band or not depends largely on bis pres ence at these early meetings it was stated so every man interested shoald make it a point to be out.
