would not be fair to the students to

Students Given Choice
The plan that seems to meet the
most favor with the students Is that
one whereby they will be given their
choice of tickets to, two games. It
seems to be concensus of opinion
among the members of the Board in
Control of Athletics that if this plan
was adopted, the non-transferable
ticket rule should be discontinued for
the basketball season. This -would
mean that if any student had a ticket
for a game and if he could not attend,
he might give it to some other stu-
dent.
Games in Pairs -
It, is probable that the six Confer-
ence games will be paired off so that
each student will be given a chance
to select one pair out of three. Days
will probably be set aside next week
for the students to go to the athletic
office and secure their tickets.
Further announcement as to \the
plan to be adopted by the students will
be made in The Daily later in the
week.

Dlsusse Slogan
The campaign now conducted by or
througli the Daily, and such other
agencies as are available, has a fun-
damental idea on which rest all iti
suggestions for specific action. The
idea is that any one who supports
-thletics, and in particular advances
our prospects of football success, is
g serving the University. "Be of serv-
t ice" is the slogan of the campaign.
? Now this fundamental dogiha invites a
more cateful scrutniy than it has ever
e received; for if it be untenable the
4 whole igitation for athletic support
a ought to be differently planned. If it

Approval of the plan presented by
the Athletic association to pair off the
six Conference basketball games and
allow each student to see two, was
voted at a Meeting of the Student
council last night.'
If this means of alleviating the con-
gestion is adopted it is probable that
on Monday all students holding cou-
pon books with numbers ending in
0 or 1 will be allowed to make their
choice, others' following in order.

present at this mass meeting. Speak-
ers have been secured to outline and
discuss the season. Mr. Bartelme will
have something to say about the
schedule and Professor Aigler will dis-
cuss the eligibility rulings. Coach
Farrell and Captain Johnson will talk
about this year's outlook. Among the
other speakers are Donnelly, a former
member of the Varsity, and Professor
Carver..
Never before in the history of the
University have the athletic author-
ities arranged for such an exceptional
schedule. There will not be one open
week after the season gets under way.'
There is a possibility that the year may
open as early as Feb. 28. On either
this date or March 027 it is very like-
ly that a meet will be scheduled. Cor-
nell is a possibility.
Must Start Now.
In preparing for the hard season
ahead sit is absolutely essential to
start now, according to Coach Farrell.
"Right now, at the very beginning, is
the time for all candidates to come
out. The outlook for the year is
bright if the men will start now. We
are weak in tire distances, the mile,
and the two ncile. There is, a splen-
did chance for tryouts to obtain a
place op the team in either of these.
events. All men who can do any-
thing in track are urged to come out'
now."
