I
Jamison Pitches Good Ball in Sec
ond Game of. Series
in one of the best games of baseball
seen on the local diamond this year, the
L'niversity of Oregon nine defeated the
strong \V. S. C. aggregation in a ten
inning game, Wednesday afternoon, by
the score of 4 to 3. The game was filled
with sensational batting on the part of
both teams. Henkel, the big Oregon
southpaw, was hit freely, hut managed
to pull the game out of the lire by the
aid of consistent support at critical
times.
I he feature of the game was the bat
ting of Captain Clarke of Oregon, who
secured five hits, including one home
run and two two-baggers out of five
times at bat.
Pullman tied the score in the fifth
inning by Bradley’s home run. In the
tenth Gabrielson was hit by a pitched
ball, and scored on Clarke’s hit over
second, winning the game.
Second Game
In the second game with the W. S. C.
baseball team, at Midway this after
noon, the Oregon nine won a hard
fought victory by the score of 2 to U.
The pitching of Jamison, Coach Kelly’s
latest find in the pitching department,
was mainly responsible for Oregon’s
success, letting the W. S. C. club down
with but two hits, and retiring ten of
their sluggers by the strike out route.
In the first inning Oregon obtained two
runs and cinched the game by three
timely hits contributed by Chandler,
Van Marter and Taylor. In the sixth
inning Pullman threatened to score by
getting two bases on balls and an error
in the Oregon infield filled the bases.
But Jamison settled down anil retired
the visitors without difficulty. The game
was called in the eighth inning to ena
ble W. S. C. to catch the north bound
train.
THIRTEEN TRACK MEN
WILL RECEIVE ”0
KELLOGG LEApS LIST IN
NUMBER OF POINTS
Oregon Teams Wins Two Hun
dred and Eleven Points During
the Season.
Of nineteen men entered in confer
ence meets this year, thirteen have made
nine points or taken the one first place
requisite for their "O.”
The Columbia meet not being a con
ference meet, the points won there do
not count toward the coveted emblem.
In the other four meets, the Wash
ington, the California, the O. A. C.
and the W. S. C. meet, the University
won a total of 211 points. Exactly the
same number were taken in the O. A. C.
and the W. S. C. meets, while thirty
eight were taken at Seattle and thirteen
in California.
Bob Kellogg holds the record for the
largest number of points taken by a
single man. Bob has pulled down a
total of forty-two this season, as against
eighteen by Hawkins and seventeen by
Latourette.
1 his unusually large lead is due in
part, it is said, to the lack of competi
tion in the weight events as keen as
it has been in the sprints.
The thirteen men who will he award
ed an “O” at the next student body
meeting are Ben Williams, captain of
the team, Hawkins, Kay, Johns, Mc
Daniel, Henry, McClure, Kellogg, La
tourette, Bristow, McGuire, Bill Neill
and Bailey. Three of the men are
seniors, and the other ten are divided
between the sophomores and the fresh

***********
In the most interesting forensic con
test of the year, Glen Hoover, a junior
in the law department of the University
of Washington, won first place in the
interstate oratorical contest, thus win
ning the $75 prize awarded by the King
County, Washington, Bar Association.
Harold J. Rounds, of the Universi
ty of Oregon, won a close second, thus
taking the second prize of $25 offered
by the same Association.
It was probably the closest inter
state oratorical contest ever held, and
the judges were put to it to decide
first place. Hoover secured the decis
ion by only one point.
The program opened with a piano
solo, “Murmuring Zephyrs,” Niemann,
by Mr. Raphael Geisler.
Harold J. Rounds opened the con
test with his oration entitled, “The Call
to Public Service.” Mr. Rounds took
up the subject by showing that, at pres
ent, the main occupation of our nation
is the pursuit of wealth. The history of
America and the world has denoted a
westward movement. The development
of our great West has been in the main
a material one, a search for wealth.
The speaker further showed that abil
ity to make money has become the
standard by which a man is measured,
and that this intense devotion to money
making is fatal to the higher interests
of the state. Gifted men go into the
commercial life, instead of political, be
cause of the superior advantages for
money making.
Mr. Rounds closed by giving a clear
and forceful picture of the “square
deal" man who is needed in America
today.
Following this Mr. Kenneth Frazer
rendered, in a pleasing manner, Bul
lard's “Sword of Ferrara.”
Mr. Hoover, in his oration entitled,
“America’s Opportunity,” compared the
nations of the world to actors upon the
stage. Each nation, to win a place in
the world’s history, must do some one
thing better than any other nation has
a will to do it.
I he greatest failure of the nations in
the past has been their inability to cope
with the problems of poverty. “The so
lution of the problem,” said Mr. Hoo
ver, “is America's Opportunity.”
lie further indicated how America
had disregarded this opportunity by plac
ing no restrictions on immigration, and
he pointed out how, as a result, the poor
of America were suffering.
Mr. Hoover ended -in a forceful way
by showing that in America’s great
struggle for self-preservation, her first
