Lillard is out! This press dispatch came in late last night after a heated and extended session of the meeting of the Pacific Coast fac ulty representatives in Portland. The action of this meeting ended the “gentlemen’s agree ment’’ under which Northwest members of the body had ig nored their athletes’ playing semi-professional baseball. Here after the conference rule will be enforced to the letter. Independents To Hold Open House At Men’s Dorm independent women will hold Open House at the men’s dormitory, making them twentieth on the schedule in stead of seventh. On the new schedule they will appear be tween Delta Delta Delta and Hendricks hall. Kramer’s piano-accordion duo has been secured to furnish music for the dancing. Each girl is requested to bring a dime to cover this expense. 1’atrons and patronesses will be Mr. and Mrs. Frederick 8. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Shumaker, Mr. and Mrs. Arne G. Kae, and Mrs. Alice B. Macduff. ---"Happy Joe" In Action For Last Time I. Joe Lilia rd, who was last night declared ineligible by the Pacific Coast conference faculty representatives, and who is in the center of the action in this picture, is shown boring his way through the Washington line last Saturday at Seattle, in perhaps what will be the last game that he will pluy in an Oregon uniform. I h The main grounds for the dis qualification of Lillard was the evidence presented to the group by Jonathan A. Butler, the coast com missioner, that Lillard had played semi-pro baseball under an as sumed name. In travelling with the ball team in the Middle West, Lillard had received pay for the position as chauffeur, not ball player, and had, on occasion, played ball in the position of one of the regular players, under the player’s name. It was this "play ing under an assumed name” that was the main cog in bringing about the action. In a formal statement issued by Professor W. B. Owens, of Stan ford university, president of the conference, no sport was specified but the question of Liliard’s eligi bility arose over his having played semi-professional baseball in the middle west, the team being Gil kerson’s Colored Giants. Commissioner Butler gathered all the evidence against Lillard and the presentation of this evidence was his first official act in his new capacity. This action by the body has a de cidedly direct bearing on the status of other players in the Pacific Northwest and on the coast in gen eral. The ruling will affect the eli gibility of all the men in the con ference on whom can be pinned the decision of playing semi-pro ball. The ruling on Liliard’s eligibility will not affect the Washington Oregon game of last Saturday, which Oregon won, 13-0. The bul letin failed to indicate whether or not Lillard will be eligible for the game next Saturday with U. S. C. but from the ruling it is altogether too probable that the ineligible brand goes into effect at the pres ent time. Although no school pro tested him, and as it takes 7 days for such a protest to become ef fective, the outcome is doubtful but since the meeting was called expressly for this purpose, it looks like Lillard will see the rest of the Oregon games, including U. S. C. from the grandstands. The conference also defined the duties of the commissioner as fol lows: "The conference voted that the commissioner should use his dis cretion as to what information re garding an institution he would submit directly to the institution prior to the completion of his re port.” This, it was pointed out, (Continued on Page Three)
