New Plans for Doughnut Sports The reduction of the number of games which will be played by each team in the doughnut basketball series by the formation of two leagues is a decided improvement. A serious objection to the series last year was that every team had to play every other team, making the schedule too heavy. The new plan submitted to the representa tives,of the houses by Coach Bolder will make it possible for more mm to take part in the games and will insure better attendance at more important contests. Another good feature of the plan for intramural athletics this year is that no mail will be allowed to drop varsity athletics and take up doughnut sports without the consent of the coaches. The direc tors of doughnut athletics are wise to co-operate with the varsity coaelu'S in this matter, since there is some temptation for the varsity scrub to turn in bis suit and star for his house basketball team. Var sity athletics come first, and the men needl'd there should turn out there. Then if the coaches decide to drop them from the squad they may join their house teams. Doughnut sports are primarily to in terest men who would not otherwise turn out, and the competition of these “near lettermen” throws the whole system off. Under Holder’s plan of having basketball lettermen coach squads not included in the organization teams any University student with a fair degree of ability at the game will be able to find a position on one of the teams. Jtml with the new arrangement of the schedule there will be no excuse for the organization which does not enter i team. Clapping for Mighty Oregon The Emerald agrees with Yell King Rosebraugh that clappmg*or making noise during the singing of “Mighty Oregon’’ should not be the custom. It is believed that continuing the practice this year is the result of a misunderstanding. But whatever the conditions, when “Mighty Oregon” is started every man will remove his hat and all noise will cease.
