The testimony that tips are decreas-
ing, given in court by a waiter, should
serve as an incentive to the puzzle to
cease the demoralizing practice Of

the fashion as it vas, the greater the

BASKET BALL IS TOPIC.
University of Oregon to Have Fast
Team Say Fans, Fenton, of Dallas,
Again Plays Center.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
49, Especial BASKET ball is the
topic of interest here at present and
with four of the veterans back Ore
gon can predict a strong team this
year. Captain Jamison at forward,
and Fenton, of Dallas, the big center,
both are northwest men, and playing
their second season with the team.
The guards will be Simms, of Eugene,
and Walker, of Independence. As
yet the fifth man has not been chos-
en- but the inter-club series that is
now being played is bringing out
some good men. It has always been
the Oregon policy to have big,
heavy team, but, as most of the new
men are small it will probably be
necessary to use one small man and
it is pretty safe to say that he will
either be Moore, last years sub, or
RAIDER, freshman from Medford,
both of whom look mighty good to
the fans.
After the mid-season exams" the
team will take a long trip; playing
most of the Northwest colleges. Ow-
ing to the strong rivalry between Or |
agon and Washington, the crucial pc
riod of the season will be the three |
game series here at the end of the
season and the enthusiasts are eager
y looking forward to it.
