UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOLUME 11 EUGENE, OREGON. Saturday, March 26, 1910. No. 42 OREGON WINS DEBATE THOROUGH PREPARATION AND SPIRITED REBUT TAL DECIDE After waiting until after ten o’clock for the arrival of two of the Idaho men, the fair sized crowd that turned out last night for the last debate of the year, was rewarded with an inter esting discussion in which the Oregon team carried off the honors by a unani mous decision of the judges—the lirst victory against Idaho for three years. 1 lie delay was caused by the fact that 1 loltnan and Clemens of the Idaho team missed the six o’clock train out of Moscow Wednesday, waited twenty four hours for another train and then failed to make connections with the morning train in Portland yesterday. The victory of the home team was due to their thorough preparation of and familiarity with the question. Their opponents succeeded in establishing most of the points of their argument but they based their hopes on a narrow in terpretation of the question and wasted a good deal of time on points which the Oregon men were willing to con cede. Their delivery was strong. Col lier and Spencer of the Oregon team debated the same subject against Utah in January and consequently they were able to discuss the question from any point of view their opponents might introduce. A. ]->. Lash, in opening the question for the affirmative, gave an outline of the argument to be produced, defined the important terms to be used, and showed that the evils of corporation in fluence could not be prevented by state legislation. His arguments were cieai and his delivery, except for a slight per iod of hesitation, was convincing. Negative Try Strategy Ransom A. Machie struck the key note of the negative case when he brought out the difference between pro duction and interstate commerce, main taining that congress has no power to regulate production. He illustrated by means of a chart and several concrete examples the fact that much the great er part of corporation capital is en gaged in production. His delivery was oratorical. He announced that the neg ative would not depend upon construc tive argument blit on the failure of arguments in support of the plan of a Federal Charter. Carlton E. Spencer in continuing the affirmative argument, admitted the main contention of his opponent, but main tained that, although a federal law could not reach a producing corpora tion, federal incorporation would be en tirely effective by virtue of the gov ernment’s right to “control a creature of its own formation.” He showed how, at present, a state may give a corpora tion power to prey upon all the other states. Rowe Holeman for the negative main tained that the affirmative had failed to show how the federal government can control production and argued that “be tween the fields of production and com merce lies the chasm in which the fed eral charter must be wrecked.” (Continued on last page.) ALL-STAR TEAM IS OUT FOR THE DOUGHNUT CUP Originator of Doughnut League Manages New Outsiders’ Team Stll another aspirant for diamond hon ors loomed up on the local baseball horizon Thursday when the “All Stars” held a meeting in Villard Hall and took first steps toward the organization of a team which they declare enthusiastical ly is ready to meet all comers. The personnel of the team will be made up of men not connected with any club or fraternity. Some strong players are out for places on the nine. Wendell Barbour is captain of the "All-Stars” and L. 11. Gregory, man ager. I he team is anxious for some good practice games. “We can’t gralj the Doughnut cup, of course," said Captain Barbour yes terday. “since that is only for perman ently organized clubs, but we are going to make a hard stab for the champion ship and think we will land it. Attei the cup is won, we will challenge the winner to a game or series of games. You will see some fireworks when we get into the game.” Ben Williams, president of the stu dent body, will lead the yells and or ganize a bunch of rooters to back the new team. EXERCISE 10 BE GIVEN Physical Education Department Plans Scientific Methods Of Instruction Trainer Hayward announces that all sophomores and freshmen in his de partment are to have their physical measurements taken and are to under go various tests of strength. The measurements will he made from pic tures taken of the men standing direct ly in front of a white cloth, stretched over a wooden frame, on which inch squares have bten marked off. On this basis there will be fifty two measure ments taken of each man. In this way the curves of the body can be accurate ly determined and judgments can be made as to how nearly the men ap proach correct proportions. Resides these measurements the lung capacity will be determined and each man will lie required to undergo several different strength tests. Trainer Hayward expects, in the way, to obtain an accurate knowledge of the physical needs of each man and will be in a position to prescribe the kind of exercise best adapted to strengthen bis physique. A course for the instruction of li brary assistants will be offered at the University of Washington. Only upper class men will be eligible for the course. After a lapse of more than a hundred year: Columbia again has a course in •griculture. One hundred and tliirty ub ,- students are enrolled in this de . partment. OREGON WINS IWO TO ONE FROM WASHINGTON Decision Satisfies Large Audience —All Speakers Do Star Work Seattle, Mar. 26. (.Special)—In one of the best debates ever seen here, the University of Oregon won a two to one decision in the annual Triangular Interstate debate in Denny Hall last night. Every man did star work and the contest was very close, the two to one vote just about representing the true merits of the respective sides. The re buttal work was especially good. Probably the largest crowd that ever gathered for a contest of this nature here was out last night. While disap pointed at their loss., the general opin ion was that the decision was correct. Lecturer is Engaged Dr. Hugh Black, elsewhere mentioned in this issue, will lecture to the students and faculty of tlie University and cit izens of F.ugcne, Wednesday and Thurs day evenings, March 30 and 31, at a o’clock in Villard Hall. The subjects of h's lectures have not yet been an nounced, but it is safe to say that they will he timely questions and it is not presumptions to say that they will he handled in a masterly manmer. In bringing Dr. Black here the V. M. C. A. has taken a long step and it re mains to be seen whether the student body will show its appreciation with a good attendance. JUNIOR ORATORS TRY OUT FOR FIRST TIME A tryout for Junior Oratoricals has become necessary for the first time in the history of the University.

I lie general athletic committee at Cornell University lias decided that no undergraduate shall he permitted to adorn the howl of his pipe with the let ter “C" unless he has won his letter on some athletic team. This afternoon at Midway Park Oregon won a game, filled with sensational features, from Whit man. The first six innings were scoreless: the feature of this part of the game bang Clark’s long drive into left field for a two-base hit in the sixth inning. In the seventh inning Whitman made their only run of the game, which was made possible by Oregon’s errors. In the la;jt half of the eighth with two men down Chan dler drove a safe hit into center field. With this the Whitman team went into the air and allow ed the Oregon contingent to score four runs, two of which were made on Dobie’s hit.

ONLY ONE DATE OPEN IN FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Nov. 5th Left for Possibility That U. of W. and W. S. C. May Disagree With the exception of one date, No vember lifth, which was left open for Washington, the football schedule for next year is complete. Since the circula tion of the rumor that Washington and W. S. C. have disagreed in their ar rangements for a game on November 12, there is still some slight hope of getting a game on November 5th with Washington. Without this game the schedule will consist of the usual number of games played in past years, but will be unsat isfactory in that there is a strong pos sibility of it leaving the championship of the Northwest undecided. I lit schedule as now arranged pro vides for the following games: Willamette in Eugene on October 22. Idaho in Moscow on October 29. <). A. C. in Portland on November 12. Whitworth in Eugene on November 19. Multnomah in Portland on Novem ber 24. There is a vacancy in the Athletic Council owing to the fact that Louis 11. Pinkhani, '10, has left school. This place will lie filled within the next few days. Pinkhani intends to return next year and will probably assist in the football coaching, as his four years on the team makes him ineligible for the Varsity team.

There are at pres ent 23,(XX) alumni of Yale, and besides these there are 6,872 students who at tended, but did not receive a diploma.
