GREEKS TO MEET GREEKS
Rivalries to be Further Height-’
ened by Rivalry on *1
Track
In the event that Trainer Hayward
and the Oregon track authorities carry,
out their plans, there will be an inter
fraternity track meet, pulled off early
this spring.
1 be idea of the meet will be to stim
uli, te interest in track athletics and to
bring out prospective material. 1 he
plan of holding inter-club competition
v. s successfully introduced in baseball
two years ago, with the launching of the
famous Gregory league. This year the
pi n was successfully tried out in bas
ketball. The baseball and basketball
hr r-cluh league now attracting gen
er 1 attention, it is believed tnat track
activity will be put on the same basis
this spring.
Although no definite plans have yet
been made, in all probability a trophy
cup or banner will be offered to the
premier inter-frat track combination,
•b cup may also be given for the best
relay team.
It the plans mature, the meet will be
held in April, at some date between the
Columbia meet, April 9th, and the Cal
ifornia trip, April 22.

ward and Manager Huggins, of, the
Freshman basketball team, will leave
for Portland with a following of six

ball as it should be played.
Coacli Fenstermacher, of the Wash

ter, Bradshaw; Guards, Rice, Vicrick;
sub., Motschenbacher.
Popular Inter-frat League is Re
organized—No New Teams
Entered
With the advent of good weather and
with a large squad of baseball enthu
siasts already at work on the diamond,
interest again turns toward the Dough
nut League, which has proven so pop
ular,the past two seasons.
A preliminary meeting was held on
Tuesday evening to arrange for the
system of games for the year. The
committee appointed that day will re
port on Sunday at a similar meeting,
and if present plans materialize the first
game will ‘be played the 15th.
Some discussion has arisen in regard
to the eligibility of Varsity men in their
regular positions. There is some talk
of requiring only pitchers and catchers
trying for the Varsity team to play other
positions than their regular berths.
The talked-of independent team has
not materialized, and so far as known
only the eleven regular frat teams will
be entered. Much enthusiasm has been
displayed and an interesting series of
games is assured.
OFFICIAL DENIAL COMES
FROM REGISTRAR TIFFANY
According to Registrar Tiffany, the
rumor that there will be no April vaca
tion this year is entirely unfounded.
The vacation is fixed by the calendar.”
said Mr. Tiffany, “and it is not at all
likely that the faculty will abolish it
this year.”

Oregon’s chances for the Northwest
basketball championship were consider
ably lessened last night by losing the
game to the University of Washington
by a score of 22 to 18. Seattle reports
say that it was the roughest and fastest
game yet played in the conference. Or
egon started otf well and rolled up 8
points before Washington came down
to earth and the score of the first half
ended 14 to 11 in favor of the lemon
yellow quintet.
Oregon showed the better team work
and were stronger in guarding. Walker
was the star for Oregon, shooting four
field goals. Olson and Clemenson were
the sparklers of the Seattle squad, Ol
son alone scoring twelve points for his
team.
The second game of the series will
be played tonight, and the best Oregon
can do is to tie Washington in the per
centage column. If Washington wins,
they will have landed another champi
onship, regardless of Willamette’s, claim
based on the flimsy pretext of compar
ative scores.
Washington’s lineup was a s follows:
Left forward, Sugg ;,, right forward, Olf
son; center, St. John's; left guard, llas
ely; right guard, Clemenson.
Oregon’s: Left forward, Jamison;
right forward, Walker; center, Fenton;
left guard, Elliott; right guard, Simms.

WOULD THEY DEFACE
CAMPUS BY RAILWAY
TRESTLE?
CAR COMPANY WOULD DISFS8URE CM
tudents Make Strong Protest
to Lawmakers Against Car
Line on Lake’s Edge
For the second time iii the last three
years, the citizens of ,Lan.rcllnirst, a
suburb of Seattle, have petitioned the
state legislature to allow them to run
the street car line, by means of a tres
tle across Union bay, which is a part of
the University of Washington campus.
As in both previous times, but more
strenuously, the students, faculty and
alumni arc using their utmost efforts to
down the measure. A petition has been
circulated among the townsmen, and
personal influence has been brought to
bear upon the legislature with the view
of saving the campus rfom this intru
sion.
The principal objection to the tres
tle as embodied in the petition sent to
the legislature by President Kane, of the
University, and D. A. McDonald, Pres
ident of the Alumni Association, are:
1. “The trestle would be unsightly and
cut off about 160 acres of the Universi
ty’s picturesque water area.’’
2. ‘That the noise of the cars over
the trestle will interfere with class work
in the University buildings, and make
useless the natural amphitheatre.”
3. “That the trestle will interfere
with aquatic sports.”
4. “That the residents of Laurelhurst
would themselves find a trestle unsight
ly,” and
5. “A remonstrance signed by 9,000
voters, secured in one day, has been filed
with the Secretary of State.”
The outcome of the measure is yet
in doubt, although a measure providing
for a different trestle has passed the
senate by a large vote.
