Who is he to call an inter-collegiate meet at Port land. without the eon sen.* of all the in stitutions in the conference? Who is h t this meet will deter mine the trad championship of the sea son. irrespec.ive of the tri ugular a id all-coast meets? Mr. Hayward is entitled to ail the prerogatives due a physical trainer; but to no more. As arbiter of the athletic destinies of the Northwest he is sad indeed. In attempting to dictate just how the trad- championship is to he de cided, he has certainly undertaken nn impossibility. It would be foolish for Washington to consider Mr. Hayward's little round up in Portland this spring, hi the first place, Washington’s track schedule is overloaded already; in the second pl.ee, Idaho and Oregon will be met on the track field at Eugene in another me :t, and the addition of Whitman and Pull man can have no advantage as neither institution looms dangerously on the track horizon; and in the third place the meet is unofficial. If Mr. Hayward assumes that he can call together three or four institutions of the coufernce, hold a meet, aitd there by determine the conference track cham pionship, he is mistaken. Oregon’s athletic trainer has many! wiles. One more meet on the Washing I ton schedule would please him mightily, realizing as he does its already over-1 loaded condition ; but he will find that j lie can neither entice nor drive the M ashington athletes into the plan. The only line far Washington to fol-J low is to adhere to its original track j schedule; let Mr. Hayward and his con : ference meet alone; and finally trounce! Oregon so convincingly in the trian gular that there will be no more noise left in the redoubtable Mr. Hayward. ! When the attention of Bill Hayward was called to the above article this morning, he said: “That piece was written y someone who didn’t know who was talking about; for had he he t<u . the groublt to consult the min-1 utes ot the last conference he would ■ have discovered that the call for the conference track meet is official. I can not understand why they continue to rap me. unless they hope to finally discredit me. and gain by ousting me from North west athletics. Such incorrect and child ish attacks as this one, however, defeat their own purpose. It is time they cut out this kid talk.” I he minutes of the last conference show that a conference meet was de eided upon for Portland, June 3rd. Bill I lay ward was appointed chairman of the committee on arrangements. The other members were Zednick, of Washington, and I.arsen. of Idaho. It was, however, impossible to secure Multnomah Field on that date, and May 27th was the only one available.

"OETKERN MEN HAVE HAD MUCH E PERJENCE IN FORENSICS WILL ARfilifE iN LLGLNE WELNESDAY Raymond Clifford and Glenn Hoover to Represent Wash ington in Word Fest I he annual inter-state debate between ' Washington and Oregon will be the cul minating event of next week. Another Northwest championship is at st:’ke and the contest between the two universi ties promises to be close and interesting. Oregon’s forensic giants, Ray and Zimmerman, are already in lighting trim. 1 hey hav.e been working on the debate since January, and the fluency and ef fectiveness which they are showing in daily practice is surprising. Washington will send her two strong est debaters to Eugene. They are dc scribed by Graduate Manager Victor Zedliick in a letter to Man ger Hunt ington as follows: "Glenn Hoover has been a member of two collegiate debating teams hereto fore. meeting Oregon last year and also the year previous.

Clifford has had one year's inter-collegiate experience, being a member of the team against Idaho last year. He is a graduate of Taco ma High School and a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.” The men will arrive in Eugene next Wednesday or Thursday and will vish the chapter houses of their fraternit'es here.

NEW METHOD MAKES FAT BAILEY RUN LIKE DEER Mill Hayward, our j/zerlcss trainer, with characteristic ingenuity, originat ed a novel and effective system of instill ing into bis charges the principles of quick starting.' So far the plan has worked admirably, and some of the speed marvels who have been experi encing difficulties about '‘freezing” at the mark are improving wonderfully. “Eat” Mailey, whom Mil lhas lately ‘-ecu putting through his paces in the sprints, is the latest subject, or perhaps it would be better to say victim, of the new method. Yesterday F.d persisted in “freezing at the scratch” in such a way as to make Mill almost doubt his usual infallible judgment, which had picked him for a sprinter. Finding that hi execrations were all to no avail, Bill surreptitiously loaded his starter's gun with a paper wad. “On the mark,” said Bill as Ed ambled inA* place. “Get set,” and Ed crouched for the start. Bill aimed the gun square at the sprinter’s ample posterior and tired. Though the principles were ex tremely reticent about being interviewed, spectators say that the results were in stantaneous and extraordinary. Ed started as he had never started before, and tore off a good fifty yards in rec ord time before he trusted himself to look around with as near to a peeved expression as his infallible good nature and excelleift disposition would ev»er pjrm't. There will be a meeting of the Sen ior class next Monday at 4:1X1 P. M. i in Villard Hall, for the purpose of i electing a manager for the Senior Class ! Play. All Seniors are urgently request ed to attend
