W E D N ESP A Y.J A N U A R Y 5. | _ NO5I ILTiMH GAME AT PORTUII FIRST OF BASKETBALL SEASON Four Letter Men to Be Used In Tussle Wi,th Clubmen Next Saturday. last YEAR’S FROSH SHOWING UP STRONG Lemon-Yellow Five Will play W. S. C. at Pullman on January 22. With the first game Jess than u week off. Coach G. M. Bolder has a real task iu whipping a basketball quintet into shape to meet the Multnomah club five at Portland, Saturday. The team which will in all probability be sent against the clubmen will be made up of the last year letter men ns far ns possible for there has been little chance to get u line on (he new material in the short time which the squad has been practicing. Coach Bolder is planning to take about 10 men to Portland for the initial con test; of these 10, four of the last year’s fluiutot who will make the trip are Cap tain “Eddie” Durno. Marc Latham, Fran- j res Dollar and “Nish” Chapman. Just j who the remaining six will be is yet u matter of doubt even to the coach. This will leave one forward position open and it is not certain that the other veterans will start in their old posi tions. Durno, who captains the quintet this year, was the unanimous selection for all Pacific coast forward and rated the same position on the all Northwest mythical five. Chapman also drew a place as all Northwest guard. Latham and Dollar both played their first season with the varsity last winter. Dollar at guard and Latham at center. “Ilcrm” Lind, Lynn McCready and the Jacobberger boys will not be out this season. Neither “Jake” or “Vince’ Jaoobberger are registered this term -and Lind and McCready graduated last spring. The material from the frosh quintet of last year will be phj.ved up to fill the vacancies. Couch. Burnett, .Andre and “Hunk” Latham all of last years frosh team are showing up well. Andre worked in the forward position last season and was high point man ou the frosh quintet, “Hunk” Latham, the I'angy center will battle it out with his brother A Tare for the center position, flunk” played a good game for the frosh last season although bo will be at a disadvantage for experience against Marc. f oucli and Burnett are consistent guards and may be relied upon to play a steady game. They are both showing up well in practice. A catch. "Reinhart and “Spike” Leslie are out and will make a strong bid. Acaleli Ims been showing up well in the j dough nut games and Reinhart and Les lie are both working well. The pruning process lias not com* '■raced yet. and it is doubtful whether the squad will be cut down for a week or more yet. The conference schedule win begin on January 22 with Oregon playing AV. N. C. at Pullman. This places the lemon-yellow at a disadvantage be cause of the long trip, and the fact that Oe games with the strong northern teams come at the opening of the sea son, The later part of the season will see all the games played at Eugene.

Original plans were for a group of six teen to make the tour but if more of the University girls can go, Dean Fox as sures that they will not be disappointed for she says, “It will be an Oregon party and the more the merrier.” It is a trip which will be first of all, pleasant, but will also be educational.

COMMERCE an NOW IS DRASTIC' CUT BEIMIONS Dismissal From Class Penalty for Excessive Absence Without Excuse. SYSTEM OF GIVING POSTS IS CHANGED Dean to Pass on All Cases Under Plan As Just Announced. More drastic cut regulations than have "hitherto been in force were adopted last night by the school of commerce. The •new regulations are to be enforced in that department, effective at the begin ning of this term, according to the an* liouncemcut made by Dean E. C.’ Bob bins. * Fnexcnsod absences will henceforth constitute a serious obstacle in the way of securing passing grades. Excuses will not be issued by tin* instructors but must come from the dean of the school. The following explanation of the new system was issued last night over, the signature of Dean Robbins: Unexcused absences to the extent of more than one week’s work in atiy course means immediate dismissal from the course with a grade of P. In a three hour course four uneg* cused absences means dismissal with e a grade of P. In a four hour course five unexcuaed absences means dismissal with a grade of F. In a five hour course six unexcused absences means dismissal from the course, with a grade of F. Students will be posted for unexcused absences as follows: In three hour courses the first post will be sent on th. second unexctittd ab sence and the second post on the third unexcused absence. -' . In four hour courses^ one post will bf sent ou the third unexcused absence, and the second post on the fourth •unex* cused absence. In five hour courses, the'first post will be sent on the fourth unexcused absence, and the second post on the fifth unfo cused absence. An unexcused absence means a sub stantial decrease in the final grade of the student. Instructors do not have the right to excuse absences. All such excuses must be secured from the dean. i Enrollment Expected to bo 2000 by End of Year. Registration for the winter term which includes between 100 and 200 new stu dents will probably not far exceed the fall enrollment, and although no official statement has been made, Dean Straub declares that he thinks the number will reach about 2,000 for the entire year. Among those registering are many for* mer students who have been out < ■*' school for some time, aud Dean Straub says he has been kept busy shaking hands with old friends. He further said that while traveling over the state during the Christmas vacation he encountered many former students who were planning to return to school in the spring term. The three term system, according to Dean .Straub, is making it possible for a great number of students to complete un finished years with greater ease. The number of old students taking advantage of this opportunity is increasing, ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ OWL CLUB TAKES NAME « ♦ OF KAPPA THETA CHI ♦ ♦ The Owl Club, local fraternitji ♦ , ♦ has adopted the name Kappa Theta ♦ ♦ Chi and will be known by this name ♦ ♦ in the future.
