night, Walla. Walla's advertising men
perfected their club and made their
temporary organization permanent.
Fifteen charter members We're enrolled
and the membership will be still in

that not all the advertising men of
the city could be present.
The constitution adopted provides
for ways and means for more extern
sive advertising of the city and valley.
1t is modelled after that of other large
cities of the northwest, and purposes
to place the possibilities and advantages
of the Walla Walla country more no
ticeably before the outside world.
A banquet will be given at the next
meeting, two weeks from last night.
The, executive committee has this in
charge ana will endeavor to make it
one which will start the work Of the
club off in good shape.
Officers for the club were elected as
follows: J. r. Garvey, president; E. A.
Swezea, vice president; Ralph Kaye,
secretary; A. A. Riggs, treasurer; Arie

In all probability Whitman college
will introduce an amendment to the
northwest college conference rules,
adopted last winter not ex post factO
Whitman is harder hit by the rules
than is any other school Of the confer
ence. The conference was called by
Whitman and She will not make any
movement that will tend to lessen the
force of the rules. But it is learned to-
day upon good authority, that the mis-
sionaries will try to have passed
measure which will make the rules a
little more fair to her.
This amendment which will be asked
is that the preparatory students who
played on college teams while in their
academy or prep school years, shall be
excused from this time; that is, the
four year rule shall not be counted
against them for the time they played
in prep schools. Hereafter, of course,
the rule would work. but it seems
hardly fair that it be enforced against
those players who competed in former
years, not because they wanted to so
much as because the students forced
them into it.
And this seems only fair. Many ath-
letes would never have played football

Old Players May YET Enter

or baseball in their prep years and
they known they could not play when
they became juniors and seniors in
college, at which time they would ap-
pear at their best. But having played
at these times. they are now to- bel cut
out. Whitman is THE smallest school
of the conference. And on account OF
her small number of students she has
had to use every bit of availablei ma
terial. The big universities and state
schools which have had no prep de-
partment have no such trouble. They
have four year courses and their men
are gone 1t seems hardly fair to
Whitman. However. if the other schools
wish to make the obligation binding
and will not pass the amendment,
whitman will see that the rule is not
violated here, even at the expense of
keeping out Spagle, Philbrook and Ly-
man.
The professional clause of the con-
ference rules will be rigidly kept and
it was for this reason, knowing it to be
the case, that Stanley BOrleske and
Brubaker did not return. The matter of
the amendment will probably be taken
up at the meeting of the Associated
Students next week.
