What About the Big Issue? In all this squabble over who gets the technical confernece champion ship in basketball, let us not forget the big issue that underlies it—will (). A. C. consent to the resumption of athletic relationship that Oregon has long asked for and urged? Reports state that our sister college is much riled up over the presumption of Ore gon to claim the conference champion ship in basketball, and is not going to smoke the pipe until she finds out whether or not Oregon concedes the championship to her. The last Bro meter in commenting on an article of Geary’s, laying claim to Oregon’s right, said, “Does this article have any bearing on the resumption of stud ent relations between the II. of O. and O. A. C.? Think it over.” Heavens alive! sister, what’s this got to do with the resumption of relations. Do you think we are not sincere in our desire to have the conference cham pionship and in our right to it? Do you think that for one minute we think you have a better team than ours, or that you have won the honor any more than we? Well, you are mistaken, if you do. Your claim is a technical one and so is ours, and ours is made stronger than yours by the fact that we have tried all season to get games out of you and you have refused them. We are trying not to discredit you, but to exhalt ourselves. But what’s all this got to do with our resuming relations again. Are you so sensitive by nature that you cannot stand to be displeased? Are you so independent that you can make Oregon pay for the privilege of play ing you? Here at Oregon, whenever you do anything that displeases us. our attitude is not one of “well, 1 wont play,” but “let me at em." We real ize that you are necessary to us for several reasons, as we are necessary to you, and we are tired of letting in fantile reasons stand in the way. We are not satisfied with a percentage championship and wish to settle it in the only complete way by playing you. but we will not buy our way to your side by granting you the conses sion of meeting you in forensics or consede you the conference champion ship now at stake, as you have tried to get us to do. That is not a fair way to meet us and we will not meet you on any grounds but fair ones. If you wish to escape the criticism now being hurled at you by the whole Northwest that you are afraid to play Oregon in spring sports there is just one way to do it: l’ut aside your wounded feelings and come across like good sport men with a few games.

ZEDNICK AWARDS OREGON Continued from first page. In view of the fact that only one other conference representative, Boh ler, of W. S. C., has declared positively in favor of awarding 0. A. C. the honor, it looks as though Oregon will secure not only the Northwest cham-! pionship, but the conference cham-’ pionship as well. ~ANNOUNCEMENT China Studio.
