Collection (Continued from page one) has built up a very extensive pri ^ ate collection. For the last several years she has been associated with Leland Stanford University as cur ator of mollusks.

Collection of Value This collection which has been procured represents typical forms which she has described in her book. Dr. Packard believes that this will enable the students more easily to identify our west coast forms which are found on the Oregon coast, therefore it will be of research value in determining new forms. This is by far the most valuable collection of recent shells which the department has, says Dr. Packard, who expresses the hope that it will be a nucleus for a more adequate collection of recent mollusks. “Although this collection was pur chased,” explained Professor Pack ard, “occasionally private collec tions are presented to the Univer sity, where they can be most profit ably used.” Competition in Girl’s Basketball Brings on New Rating Schemes Girls’ basketball practice is go ing forward at a brisk pace, and the process of the selection of the teams has started, said Miss Shelly, head of the sport. The coach, the head of the sport, and the class manager is to make a similar and individual rating sheet, on which all the girls out for any one position in one class are rated in sequence. An attempt will be made to see them play with the other girls on the list, and to re classify them at least five times be tween now and when the plays start. That will make fifteen ratings for each girl. The girls may see the rating sheets at any time so they may know how they stand. On Thursday, from 4:05 to 4:40 will be the first practice for all forwards, and Miss Shelly urges all girls trying out for this position to be there. The tentative game schedule is being made out, and the games will probably be about Wednesday, Feb ruary 21. That leaves two and one half weeks for practice. It is hoped that the teams can be picked before February 19, so that there will be time for one practice with the teams altogether before the games begin. There will be one senior team, three junior, three sophomore, and three freshman, and the rejnainder will compete in a color tournament, playing in teams regardless of their class. - Send the Emerald Borne ^Jlie largest selling quality pencil in the world black iegrees At all dealers Buy a dozen Superlative in the world-famous Y ENUS mens give best service and longest wear.
