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.”

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

any club or fraternity. Some strong
players are out for places on the nine.

"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.

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.

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.

This afternoon at Midway Park
Oregon won a game, filled with
sensational features, from Whit

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

four runs, two of which were

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.
