Sent to Each Student Credit

The Registrar's office has employed
a new method for telling students of
their grades. In yast notices were

linquencies in the form of incompletes,
conditions, or failures. The present
method is a complete transcript of
record for the semester, whereby all
students are informed of their grades
for the semester. While the slip repre
sents an unofficial transcript it is ex
pected that they will be reserved, as
they serve as substitute for the former

GREEKS PLACE BAN
OH USE OF CABS
Fraternity and Sorority Represents
tives Vote Against Their Use
for Social Functions
The final action on cabs was taken
last night at the Intersorority Council
meeting. A committee of girls went
before the interfraternity meeting
Tuesday night to give the opinion of
the girls on the subject. On the girls'
recommendation the following motion
was made and passed:
"That the Interfraternity Council
pledges the fraternities not to use
hired conveyances at any University,
men's fraternity or women's fraternity
parties, except in inclement weather,
and that any fraternity violating this
rule shall be barred from giving an
other party for four school months;
this action to take effect at once."
This is supposed to settle the cab
question forever, 6ince violation by
individuals . throws the penalty upon
the fraternity and We sorority of the
guilty parties.
The question of flowers was brought
up in the girls' meeting last night.
It was moved that flowers should not
be legislated against, but should re
main purely a personal affair.
Abandon Sports in England
Neither Oxford nor Cambridge will
be able to compete in the Penn relays
this spring. In a letter to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania they say that
practically all of the able-T5otTied ath
letes have gone to the front and that
consequently no interest is being
shown in sports.

HUGG HEW CAPTAIN
LETTER MEN ELECT STAR GUARD
TO LEAD 1916 QUINTET
MATERIAL TO BE PLENTIFUL
Lota of Available Athletes for 1916
Basketball Team Promising Men
on the Freshman Squad
Spring Football Practice -
At the postponed meeting of the
athletic board Tuesday the letter men
in basketball unanimously elected
Edwin Hugg to lead the 1916 quintet.
Hugg was star guard on the Husker
team this season, and when Captain
Hawkins was compelled to quit the
game because of doctor's orders, ably
handled the team as acting captain.
His individual work has also been
very good ; he led the members of the
1915 squad in this department, scor
ing 89 points from a guard position.
His percentage in free throwing was
.542.
The dearth of available material
which hindered the development of
this year's squad is not likely to cause
the new cantain much bother next
winter. There are twelve old men
available, to say nothing of the mem
bers of the freshman team. Jimmie
Gardiner, Cook, Collins, Hartman, Rid
dell, Gillette, Tucker, Schumacher,
and others of the first year squad will
be available for the 1916 team. Two
letter men beside Captain Hugg have
ofle more year of basketball Ruther
ford and Shields. Milliken, Sheldon, -C.
H. Gardiner, Campbell, and R.
Thiesen, all of whom have had a year's -experience
as varsity men, are eligible
for basketball next winter and afford
splendid material.
Coach Stiehm put his spring foot
ball squad through some fast practice
on the athletic field yesterday after
noon, despite the objections of the
weather bureau. Open field running,
punting, drop and place kicking, charg
ing, catching punts, and light signal
work, made up the program of the
day. Gardiner and Otoupalik, both
candidates for backfield positions,
were out, and showed up to decided
advantage. Coach Stiehm has a very
promising string of backfield men in
the list of thosa who have reported
for spring practice, which includes J.
Gardiner, Cook, Otoupalik, Reese,
Dempster and Rutherford. Two men.
W. Kostisky and Sides, registered this
week and reported for yesterday's
practice. Both men are trying for
line positions.
Coach Stiehm has arranged for ex
hibition scrimmages between picked
teams at the end of two or three
weeks. Spring football differs from
regular fall work in that the training
down process is much slower, and the
lengthy mentor is making no move to
rush the men into scrimmage work.
He intends to run the squad through
light work and signals for a fortnight
before tackling shall be introduced.
Alumni at the University of Penn
sylvania have proposed changing the
name of the university to Franklin
University. The new name would
have as one of its chief purposes the
honoring of one of the greatest of.
Penasylvanians. It is also believed
that this would tend to make the in
stitution less of a local affair and
more of a national college.
