OREGON BALL TEAM
HEADS CONFERENCE
DOPESTERS FIGURE PERCENT
AGE CHANCES
University Team will Play O. A. C.
Friday and Saturday at
Corvallis.
(J. Ward Arney.)
With Oregon well in the lead and
with but four more games on the
schedule, the series for the champion
ship of the division of the Northwest
Conference west of the mountains is
rapidly drawing to a close and al
ready arrangements are under way to
bring Washington State College, the
high-men in their section, over here
to scrap it off for the pennant. The
lead which Oregon already has and
the speed at which her team is travel
ing has forced from her rivals the
concession that she will be the one to
pit against Pullman, so Coach Bender
of that college has placed before Man
ager Geary the tentative date of May
30 and May 31 for the meeting of the
two contenders. These had to be re
jected, however, for Oregon will not
be able to compete on Decoration
Day, nor would Coach Ayer consider
staking his fortunes on the outcome
of a double-header on the 31st, even
if Geary would assent to paying as
big a guarantee as such an arrange
ment would necessitate. In declining
this proposal, the dates of Friday and
Saturday, the 23th and 24th of May,
were submitted by Oregon’s Mentor
of the Exchequer, and acceptance of
them is looked for. Both games will
be played here in accordance with a
conference agreement to alternate be
tween the two sections, the Western
to be hosts for this year’s fray.
The approaching close of the season
has tempted the dopesters to whittle
up their pencils to figure out the
standings which the teams of this di
vision will take in the advent that
present indications are mussed up by
unusual performances. Although
these calculations are all based pn
“ifs” and “ands,” yet they are highly
interesting to the 33rd degree fans.
The games to be played as yet are the
two games at Corvallis between Ore
gon and 0. A. C., and the two games
at Seattle, when O. A. C. battles
Washington. In the advent that Ore
gon takes both games from 0. A. C.,
not too much of a snow-dream either,
the pennant will come here, for the
Big Green team will have a percent
age of 750. If O. A. C. splits even
with Oregon and Washington, the
same result will follow. This is prob
ably the more conservative bet, for
Oregon will have a hard time beating
Culver and O. A. C. will find a
stumbling block in Boatman. How
ever, if Oregon drops one game and
Washington two, to O. A. C., the two
Webfoot institutions will be tied for
supremacy, at 623. The whole divi
sion can be tied up at .500 each, if
Washington and 0. A. C. can win two
more each, but this is rife specula
tion. All of this figuring goes to
show that Fickle Fortune may yet
take a winning hand in the game and
spill the beans in disasterous style.
Although Oregon has the upper grip
now, still the games at O. A. C. Fri
day and Saturday are decisive and
must be copped.
A large crowd is expected to jour
ney over to Corvallis to see the tour
nament, the Electric having offered a
rate which will permit the followers
to make the trip on Saturday only at
a reduction to $1.80 for both ways.
Mr. Salisbury, of Albany, who worked
in the series with 0. A. C. here, will
officiate.
By covering the three mile course
on Lake Washington in 16 minutes
and thirteen seconds, the University
of Washington crew last Wednesday
in racing with the second eight,''lopped
nine seconds off their former coast
record. Subscriptions are now being
taken up among the students to send
the crew east to compete with the best
college crews in the United States at
Poughkeepsie, on June 28.
At the annual convention of Sigma
Delta Chi, the national journalism
fraternity, at Madison, Wisconsin, Sol
H. Lewis, former editor of the Wash
ington Daily, was re-elected vice
president of the national organisa
tion.

0. A. C. AND U. OFW.
IN TRACK SQUABBLE
Today’s Meet Cancelled and Washing
ton Tries to Eject Corvallis from
Conference.
The dual field and track meet be-;
tween the University of Washington
and O. A. C., which was to have taken
place this afternoon, was cancelled
Saturday by Dr. D. H. Hall, the Wash
ington coach, after a misunderstand
ing with the Corvallis officials, as to
the number of entries. Dr. Hall and
his track squad of twelve men left
Eugene Saturday morning that they
might have several days to work out
on the “Aggies” track.
Upon arriving in Corvallis, he asked
that the college enter but 12 men in
the meet, that Washington might be
at no disadvantage on account of few
entries. Dr. Stewart, the O. A. C.
coach, objected to this proposition,
and failing to arrive at any compro
mise, Coach Hall and his track men
returned to Eugene, where they took
the 2 o’clock team Sunday morning
for Portland.
“Dr. Stewart wanted to enter 17
men against our 12 and we would not
stand for it,” explained one of the
squad. “In answer to a telegram ask
ing for a meet limited to 12 men, we
received a reply, in which the O. A.
C. manager said, ‘We will pay ex
penses of 12 men.’ We naturally took
this to mean that the meet would be
limited to a dozen men. We did not
consider it a tryout for the “Aggies,”
but as a dual meet.”
Dr. Stewart has the following state
ment in a Portland paper: “Graduate
Manager Horr, of the University of
Washington, at no time since nego
tiations began, mentioned the matter
of restricting O. A. C.’s entries, and
we would not have considered such a
proposition, as we had no desire for
any meet which would not permit us
to use all our green men. The O. A.
INTER-GLASS MEET TO
BEHELD NEXT FRIDAY
ALL TRACK MEN ELIGIBLE FOR
PARTICIPATION
Will Give Good Try-outs for Men in
Preparation for Meet With
O. A. C.
Bill Hayward announced yesterday
that on Friday, May 16, at 3 o’clock,
he will shoot the gun which will start
the 100-yard dash of the third annual
interclass track and field meet, held
on Kincaid field. There will be no re
strictions as to the entries, letter men
being allowed to compete as well as
all the would-be stars. The regular
order of events will be run, with the
exception of the relay, in which event
Hayward is planning to have several
try-outs to pick a team for the 0. A.
C. meet. A large squad will be taken
to Corvallis and the showing made in
the interclass contest may determine
some of the entries.
It is almost impossible to pick the
winner of the meet, but the Senior
class appears to have the largest
number of first place men. Kay
should win the 100 and 220-yard
dashes, McClure, the mile and two
mile, Watson, the pole vault, and
Neil the javelin, a total of 30
points. The Juniors have several good
men, such as Huggins and Stuller,
who should be able to pick up points.
The Sophomores, while not having as
many first place men as the Seniors,
will be represented by a well balanced
team of Parsons, Boylen, Blackaby,
Pack, Heidenreich, McConnell, and a
few dark horses which they will
spring Friday.
The Freshmen, with Fee, Kaiser,
Cook, Windnagle, and Foster, as sure
point winners, and a large squad of
entries will be contenders for first
place. The Juniors will have the few
est entries in the meet, but are count
ing on Huggins, Stuller, and Hall to
land points.
According to arrangements agreed
to by Stanford, Washington and Ore
gon, the annual Tri-State Debates
will be held two weeks earlier next
year than they were this year.
Coach Gilmour Dobie, of the Uni
versity of Washington, has already
come out with his annual bear story
regarding his football team. In spite
of the fact that Washington looses
only four of last year’s team, the wily
Scot still says championship pros
pects are gloomy.
C. athletic officials had no misunder
standing on the question.”
Since the return of the Washing
ton team to Seattle, a movement,
headed by Captain Claire Bowman,
has been started to have O. A. C.
ejected from the Pacific Northwest
inter-collegiate conference on account
of the treatment accorded visiting
teams.
