OREGON RALD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOLUME 11 EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 23, 1910. No. 41 OREGON’S STRENGTH TO BE TESTED SATURDAY SOPHOMORES DEFY THE VARSITY IN BIG TRACK MEET Regulation Weights and Full Dis tances Scheduled for First Time This Year. For the first time this year, a practi cal test of the full strength of the var sity track team will he made next Sat urday afternoon when the sophomores meet I lie three other classes in accord ance with their challenge of two weeks <ag( »■ Heretofore the events have been short ened and no definite knowledge could In obtained as to how the men would do in a regular meet. Next Saturday, lio.vever, all the races will he run the full distance and the sixteen pound weights will be used instead of the 12 pound; All the men who can he counted on fur this year's team, except Captain Wil liams nul Bob Kellogg, will perform •Saturday. I he former is out on ac count of a stone bruise received two weeks ago, and the latter received a serious sprain in the last interclass meet. ” ’th these two exceptions the men are uh in fairly good condition for so early >n the season and it is expected that sente good records will be made. Since the loss of Kellogg the sopho mores can hardly expect to win tm meet; for Jimmy Neill, Chuck Taylor, Victor Voight, Billy Neill, and Ed Bailey can be counted upon to make a clean sweep of the weight events, all of which Kellogg could have placed in. On the other hand the sophomores will gain two points by the fact that Wil liams will not enter, leaving first place m the pole vault for Sweany. George Riddell can take first place in the long distance while the new men wall prob ably take the seconds and thirds. Kay. it is thought, will make a good showing in the sprints and Bob Kuy kendall will probably place in the broad jump. For the sophomores, Hawkins practically is conceded first place in the hurdles, while Johns, McDaniels and Garrabrandt can be counted upon to clean up most of the points in the mid dle distances, Tt is not thought possible however that the sophomores can pick up seconds and thirds enough to win the meet. baseball men must TRAIN THIS YEAR Recogn ing the important place that Baseball i- taking in University athletics, tee coach and trainer have formulated a code of training rules which, although 1101 severe, will be strictly enforced. The principle requirements are that there 'hall he no smoking and that the men 'hall lie in their rooms by eleven o'clock every night. Basel--:ill men in the past have been subject to almost no restrictions, but ""uig to the growing importance of hasehali as a student body enterprise, •md to the need of strict discipline a m°ng the large squad of men turning "ur' it has been thought best to intro duce the new restrictions. FOOTBALL SWEATERS ARE HERE AT LAST At last the long expected football sweaters have arrived and will he given out, at the next Assembly, to the nine teen men who earned their O’s last sea son. 1 hey were received by Polders Davis last Monday and are now in the hands of a tailor who is sewing the O s upon them. Of the nineteen, fifteen are sweater coats and four are regular sweaters: 1 he men who have played | more than one season generally prefer ing sweater coats.

DEBATE CHAMPIONSHIP AT STAKE FRIDAY NIGHT DREGON CLASHES WITH IDAHO IN VILLARD HALL ^oach Buchen Optimistic But Not Oover Confident—Steele Work ing for Big Crowd. The biggest debate in years, the de late that will decide the Northwest and irobably the Pacific Coast champion diip will take place next Friday even ng\ commencing at eight o’clock, in V'dlard I all, between the University of Idaho and the University of Oregon, ^oaeh Iiuchen's men. Collier, Spencer md Cash, will uphold the affirmative >f the question, "Resolved, that all cor porations engaged in Interstate Com merce shold be required to take out a Federal Charter.” At the same time, -Jrqgon will have i negative team debating the Univer s.ty of Washington in Seattle and Ida ho s affirmative team will meet Wash ington s negative team at Moscow. Ray, Zimmerman and Powell, the members of the negative Varsity team, leave for Seattle tomorrow. Coach Huchen will accompany them. IE_«■■■ RANSOM MACKIE Leader of Idaho Team The debate enthusiasts at the Uni versity are extremely anxious to win this year as it will be their first victory in the Triangular league for three years. Coach Buchcn, however, while optimistic is by no means confident. I he negative, lie thinks, has the strong er side, but the men are less experienc ed. Collier and Spencer, the two men who defeated the University of Utah last January will again uphold the af firmative side; and those who heard them at that time, are confident of their ability to repeat the trick. The affirmative will follow much the same lines as they did at that time. Cash will open the debate with a speech almost identical with Spencer’s former (Continued on last page.) CO-ED DEBATE DATE MUST BE CHANGED Because May 6th, the date set for the co-ed debate with Washington in Seat tle, conflicts with Washington’s Junior Week-End and more especially with the Junior Prom, the date of the debate will be changed to either May 13th or April 29th. This was announced in a letter just received from the University of Washington by Manager Steele. Washington suggested the 29th, but Manager Steele prefers the 13th and this date will probably prevail. In the lat ter case the Interstate Oratorical con test will be shifted to May 28th.
