Beat Washington So far our college yedrhas not been replete with championships. Certainly, we came near securing the coveted hon ors in both football and basketball, but they were , wrenched from us and fell to the lot of- our good friend the Wash ington University. These victories were hut a continuation of that college’s re cently adopted policy of winn.ng the lion’s share of conference events. But of all their victories, none was harder to bear with equanimity than .her vic tory over us at. the dual track meet last spring. I I ror number of years Oregon lias stood alone in this branch of athletids, winning annually,; by a fortunate com bination of good men and a good train er. We had come to expect victory as a matter of course, the, fighting spirit had somehow vanished, and last spring naturally enough Washington defeated MS.i 1 - uijBy some means or other, this defeat must lie avenged. Washington hits been entirely too successful of late, and un less the • sceptre is U* depurt ,f>rcv«r from Israel w.e must win back1 our van ished track laurels. No matter what we think of Washington and >,s ideas of sportsmanship, the nsost effective le joinder we can make to the aspersion; they continually cast upon us througn the press, will be to administer a de cisive defeat to them on the track this spring. For effectiveness, a good rol licking defeat outweighs hundreds of aewspaper articles. So our cue is not to worry overly much about what the University of Washington Daily or any Seattle pa per may think or say of the University of Oregon, or the University cf Ore gon's athletes, but we should bend all our energies toward beating our noith ern neighbors. Naturally, such attacks as the recent one upon our basketball team und the charges against our sportsmanship are a bit hard t> bear, but a good drubbing on track or dia mond will he the best answer. Victory however, seldom comes to any college except as a result of hard work and a get .together spirit. It means that ev ery student must turn out and help make a success of track and baseball. Last night's forensic victory was eas ivl one of the biggest events of the college year. I he account of Oregon's victory will impress more people and attract more favorable notice to the University than would victory in any other line of stu dent activity. Many people in Oregon tire constitutionally opposed to athletics, and to them victory on the gridiron, track or diamond merely presents an opportunity for knocking the University and arguing that the University is train ing aithletes. not educating men. Intel lectual attainments, however, command respect from everyone, and by thus tak ing the lead in forensics, the University will impress upon the state the real practical results that are being achieved here. Bums Powell, ’12, is suffering from epicticatis, whatever that may be. A. T. O. AQUATIC MEET IS ONE BIG SPLASH Splash ! Flop ! Splash ! It is not the Kappa Sigs baptising another recalcit rant Freshman; it is the A. T. O. spring ■aquatic meet. Hi Norton, feeling the financial stress occasioned presumably by the recent bungalow fund campaign, offered, for a stated purse, to swim 50 feet feet against the current of the millrace with Fresh man Vierick. Vierick is from Tilla mook, where it rains sometimes, so he called the offer. Notices of the meet were duly posted and a considerable crowd, including two Gamma Fhis, were out at the swift water back of the Kap pa Sigma house, where the big splash was to occur. "Norts” started out with a spurt, with Vierick close behind, but when twenty feet were covered it began to, rain. Til lamook, being used to this, kept on, but Norton, who hails from Grants Pass, succumbed to the downpour, dived'for the bank, and disappeared in the. Kappa house. Vierick covered the required distance and ; was duly -declared winner of.i con siderable glory ^nd the, ten dollar purse. Edith Woodcock, was called1 home Wednesday on account of the death of her grandfather. { 1 >■*' '' i • ^ Charles Van Duyn, 13, is confined to his home with an attack of typhoid His is the only case of the disease now existing in the University.
