Thirty boys are now enjoying two evenings each week In good physical training and devel opment. It Is Interesting lu note how rapidly the boy adjust themselves to the msclnllne of the floor and how readily they take up the regular form of exercise. The ma are steadily falling Into line and r.re Joining the evening clas ses. u surprising that they have held elf so long. Secretary Rudd had hoped that (Infinite plans for the or ganttatton of a city basket ball league might be affected by December 1st. but he m.- stnte that "unless considered.- nmre interest Is shown on tbe part nf the men In definite mem bership (hiring the coming week that no lca.;:i! to ny be formed until lutcr in IVfcis.W."

Thurs day afternoon that the Alnmnl asso ciation of tbe high school will an nounce, when the referee's whistle blows for the alunnl-hign school game. The contest winds np bigb school football this year and will give the people who are enjoying a business holiday on that occasion the opportunity of seeing something real ly clever. Tbe game will not be a ram-s mashing proposition likely, for tbe old stars and the present young sters are versatile at new football, and sample of op to the minute play will be paraded before an admiring throng. Queer freak come and go In foot ball but West Chicago had a new one last Sunday. A crowd of girla who call themselves "Vscsars" though none of them probably ever peered in to a dormittory, went out to West Cbl crn to play real men at - football. Their coming bad been well herald ed and ail the ministers in the sub urb banded to oppose the game, call ing it Immora' The minister warn ed ther flock not to go near the naughty game, but practia'ly all in the criere gallons bad already pur chased seats which the ministers didn't know. Finally th " for the game came, and owner of vacant lots happened to be opposed and kept the glrl ' - moving hith er and there to get flat place to start the game on. After being chased from place to place tbe crowd tired and dwindled and the captain of the girls noticed the gatekeeper had "wandered astray" with the slmollons From chesty football players to sob bing lassies was a hurried step, aim the suburb's city council had to send the discouraged girls back to Chicago on public purse expense. This Is probably tbe n- - thins girls football team that ever happened. i Ora'duate coaching at Oregon may or may not be responsible for the medicare showing of the lemon-yel-icw this r but alumni and out siders - the Interest of the , -c"-l - -- olntr to be slow to re-commerclalize football at the unlversltv.

The fewer hired coaches Oregon em ployes the higher will be her stand ard of athletics from the proper view point, that of physlral development, intercollegiate sport In It true mean ing.

Over In I'nlon the other day the fair maidens of the high schoot gave a mimt pleatiing reception to the foot ball team which has done but little for Itself, loelng every game of im portance that it played.
