The High School debating league this year has adopted the triangular sys tem as used by the University in their debates with Washington and Idaho.

Bill Neill captured two places, .and Staggs one for the third floor. For the second floor, Gabriel, Struck and Downs did the best work.

The alumni of the University of Ore gon had charge of assembly hour this morning, with Mr. Allen Eaton presid ing. In a short introductory speech Mr. Eaton stated that the purpose of holding the meeting was two-fold: First, in the interests of the University; and second in the interest of the alumni. Continuing, Mr. Eaton said in part: “The alumni can not retain their inter ests in the University unless they con tinue to have some personal interest in it. They can not expect the students to have an interest in them for what they have done; they must do something now. It is easy for the alumni to drop out of touch with the University, as they become engrossed in the affairs of life. Commencement week affords an excellent opportunity for alumni and undergraduates to get together. Our traditions will then hind together the student of the past and the student of the present.” Hon. B. F. Dorris, a member of the first Board of Regents, spoke on the “Sacrifices and Hopes of the Founders of the University.” file told how the movement for a University was started early in 1872, by the principals and directors of the Eugene schools, of the early history of the movement and the struggles frf those who backed it. There were six at the first meeting held to consider the movement for the establishment of a State University at Eugene, all of whom except Mr. Dorris are now dead. The fourth section of the hill which was presented by the people from Lane county was" the one that won its adop tion by the state legislature. It pro vided that the institution should be gov erned by a board of nine Regents, and that at no time should a majority of them he of any one Christian denom ination, and that no political or religious test should he required of men se lected to serve on it. The people of Lane County promised to build and turn over to the state a campus and buildiing valued at not less than $50,000. Many difficulties were en countered before this was done; but at hist the building was completed, and though there was still an indebtedness of about $2,000, it was accepted by the state and left in the hands of the build ing association until the debt was raised. Matthew P. Deady donated the remain der, and in his honor Deady I lall was | named. Harold Hopkins, 93, spoke on "The Opportunity of the Students to Serve the State by Serving the University.” He said in part: “We must do the Uni versity some good, that it may do some | one else some good. The University ought to lead the state in all lines of thought; if it can not do so in practical things, it can in theoretical Jcmon (Continued on last page.) ROOSEVELT MAY HEAD NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Men of Wealth Have Novel Plan To Dispose of Lion Hunter After Return According to dispatches from Wash ington, Ex-President Roosevelt's final ambition is to establish in Washington a national university, endowed by unlim ited capital, of which he may remain the active head so long as he lives.

It is rumored that Car negie already has expressed himself as willing to look further into the project. The curriculum of the institution will include an opportunity for comparative and technical study of national prob lems, particularly those of finance, tariff and other branches of national and international economics.

OREGON MEN HAVE WON 21] POINTS ON TRACK SOPHOMORES DO BEST WORK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR Bob Kellogg Learned to Throw The Javelin By Spearing the Cows With a Pitchfork. In tlio four big outdoor meets they have entered this year, the Oregon track team has made a total of 217 points. The greatest number was in the O. A. C. meet, when 84 were annexed. The Cal ifornia meet, with only 13, brought down the average considerably. The W. S. C. meet netted 81 points, and the tristate meet at Seattle brought in 39. Hob lxellog, with 43 points, has the highest individual record. He has taken points in all four weight events. In the shot he has won first in every meet except in California. In the discus he has won two firsts, a second and a third. In the hammer he has won one lirst, two seconds and a third. In the two meets where the javelin has been thrown he has taken third place each lime. Hob says he has learned to throw the long spear by throwing pitchforks at the cows up home. Martin Hawkins, also a sophomore, holds second place with 27 (joints to his credit, lie has made all in the hurdles and broad jump. In the high hurdles he has taken first in every meet in the Northwest, lie has also won tw.o sec onds and a first in the low hurdles, and a third in the broad jump. In addition, he holds the Northwest record in the high hurdles. Ills running mate, "Sap” Latourrettte, another sophomore, the little “Tower,” as he is known because of his great strength, comes third in the list with 17 points. These were all won in the three Northwest meets, as Sap was not taken to California. Me won a first and two seconds in the low hurdles and two seconds in the high sticks. He was robbed of a second also at Seattle by happening to tie in a slow heat with Driscoll, of Idaho. Brockaw, the third place man, was beaten badly by Haw kins in the other heat, but since it was faster, both men qualified. Driscoll was given the preference over Latourette be cause the latter knocked down three hurdles. Had lie been in the finals, it is said, with I lawkins to lead him on, he. could easily have landed second place . David McDaniel, a fourth sophomore, and Captain Williams, follow closely with 16 1-2 and 16 points reespectively. I lie latter has been probably the most consistent man on the team, annexing his first place in every Northwest meet and always going just about twelve feet. McDaniel has been shifted irregularly from the 220 to the 440, and has been a little overworked from it. In conse quence, he has been deprived of some firsts that should have been his, and has had to make up his total entirely from seconds—a phenomenal piece of work under the circumstances. The largest point winner among the freshmen is Walter McClure, who comes sixth with 14 points. Kay comes right fter him with 13 1-2, while Henry has ( Continued on last page.)
