Appearing in the Sunday Oregon ian for March 10, was an article by Addison Bennett, special correspond ent to the Oregonian, on the subject of “The University of Oregon.” This is the first of two articles, the second of which will appear next Sunday. It will deal with the early history and growth of the institution, as well as with the character of the departments and their work. A com parison of Oregon’s expenses with those of similar schools and a de scription of college life, customs, and organizations, will also be given. Concerning the early history of Oregon, little is said. The story of “Lish” Applegate and his $15,000 sub scription that turned the tide of for tune toward Eugene, and not Mon mouth, as the location of the Univer sity, is retold. How this town char acter, nearly penniless, “subscribed” the required amount to satisfy the legislative demand for a subscription of $50,000. after the committee had collected commodities to the amount of $35,000 in the shape of horses, lumber, and days of labor. Much of the article is taken up with a statement regarding the needs of the University. Mr. Bennett ex plains that our college is not a high or “prep” school. That our “assets” are at the mercy of laws, and he dwells upon the efficient work done by the different departments, espe cially the correspondence and sum mer schools. After mentioning these facts, and noting the character of the people to whom the aforementioned schools cater, the industrial and working class, he speaks of Eugene as an “or derly city,” and its appropriateness of its selection for a college town, also of the loyalty of Portland to the Varsity. Although Mr. Bennett does not treat these subjects in the order given here, yet they proceed the main point that he makes, which is the lack of information which the voters have concerning the needs, the work, and the relative cost of this institu tion and other state universities. Finally, in confirming his conten tion that the voter should, before hastily injuring referendum petitions, determine the cost of maintainence of this and other universities, he quotes figures that show the cost per capita of maintainence is at least $75 lower than in other states where separate liberal art and agricultural schools exist. The future of the University, its society and manner of living, will be treated in next Sunday’s Oregonian. Washington Tennis Notes. With the opening of the tennis sea son not far distant, tennis men at the University of Washington are begin ning to plan for the season’s work. One first class double asphalt court will be built as soon as the exact loca tion of the new athletic field is deter mined. One of the four dirt courts now used will also be put in shape. George Febiger is the only member of last year’s team now in college, but Redman, and Talbot, who repre sented Washington in previous years, have also returned, while the fresh man class contains some very prom ising material. Beside the tourna ment with Oregon, meets will prob ably be arranged with the Seattle and Tacoma clubs, University of Puget Sound, and probably Broadway High School. SPORTSMEN’S SUPPLY HOUSE Gymnasium and Football Outfits Eugene Gun Co. SPRING TRACK WORK IS WELL UNDER WAY Several Point winners must bo De veloped to Take Place of Miss ing Men. Preliminary track work is progress ing nicely, a number of men are out each afternoon conditioning them selves either at lacrosse or by in dulging in light track work. As soon as the basketball season is over, Trainer Hayward will devote his en tire time to the track men. Although prospects for a strong team are bright this year, a number of places will have to be filled. In the jumps Oregon is extremely weak, and Kay, last year’s sprinter, will not turn our for track this season. Mc Connell, the premier half miler of the Northwest, is not in school this year. McDaniels and Elliott will be missed on the relay team. There are a num ber of candidates for each of these positions, but they are practically all inexperienced men and it will be dif ficult to develope them into point winners in one season. A grammar school and high school meet will be held in connection with the indoor meet April 3. The prelim inaries of the grammar school meet will be held on Saturday, March 30. The High School will compete against the Freshmen in several events. SIGMA CHI WILL OFFER TREAT AT COUNTY FAIR The manager of the Sigma Chi con cession at the Y. W.

The University of Washington Ped agogues have taken well to the idea of a baseball game with the Pullman faculty this spring, and feel confident that they can trim the “major league nine of farmer-teaching tutors.” The Washington faculty team has a record of two straight annual victories against the alumni balltossers, and this year is out strong for the faculty championship of the state. Ira Courtney, University of Wash ington sprinter, will try for the Olym pic team at the coming tryouts on the Stanford oval. One thousands students of Kansas University are self-supporting. Plans have been made at Yale to construct a new baseball cage, which will be large enough to contain a diamond of regulation size.
