The time and place of the meeting will be posted on the Bulletin board in Villard hall Monday morning. At Idaho this pastime has gained much popularity and they are now engaged in a tryout to determine lo cal championship and if possible will arrange to meet teams from other schools. The chess teams of the eastern universities average from two to five players, and while it might not be possible for financial reasons to plS$i faraway schools, each district would have preliminaries and teams of at least two players to decide the championship. Professors Howe, Dallenbach, Conklin and Kempthorne are all opti mistic over the future of chess at Oregon and “Deac” Davies has prom ised to resurrect several student ex perts.

Some of the players who will try out for positions are Borleske, Boynton, Kel iy, Collins, Dudley, Nording, McKen zie, Mulligan, Lund, Magius, Hardle and Taylor. Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash., March 8.—After a four days’ practice under Coach Childers, the Whitman College^ baseball team will play the first game of the year when they meet the team of recruits who have reported to Manager Bade of the Walla Walla Bears, at Sportsman park Monday afternoon. More than two teams are out now every day and Coach Childers is rapidly whip ping the men into shape. A three inning game played this afternoon showed the merits of the material, but as yet the coach is unwilling to make any statements except that Whitman will figure strongly in the race for the championship of the conference. London, Feb. 28.—American Rhodes scholars were successful in several of the events in the Oxford University sports held here today. F. T. Adams of Texas won the ham mer-throwing event, with a throw of 122 feet 3 inches. V. B. Havens of New Jersey won his heats in the hur dles and the 100 yard flat. N. S. Taber of Rhode Island was second in the one-mile flat race, being five yards behind A. N. S. Jackson, presi dent of the Oxford University Ath letic Association, who broke the track record. Jackson’s time was 4 minutes 22 3-5 seconds. New York, March 7.—Twenty-one colleges were represented at the an nual meeting of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, held here recently. Four weeks ago several amendments to the constitution of the association, framed by the advisory committee in accordance with suggestions made by the executive committee, were made public, and all of them were adopted at today’s meeting. Only one ^ them—that of increasing the awards of points to five places in each event, instead of four, as heretofore, caused discussion, but it was finally adopt ed. Under the new rule the points for places will be as follows: Five for first, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth; a total of 15 points for each event, instead of five, three, two and one; a total of 11 points, which has been the rule since 1898. One hundred and seventy men are out for track at Stanford. There are 37 candidates for the quarter, 28 for the half mile, 23 for the sprints, 17 for the two-mile, 15 for the mile, 13 for the broad jump, 10 for the pole vault, 8 for the high jump and hurdles and 13 for the weight events, if the material is as promising in quality as it is in quality, Stanford will have a championship track team year. Portland, Ore., March 8.—The Christmas swim, one of Portland’s feature sport events of the winter season, which has been held annual ly for the past five years under the auspices of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, has been staged for the last time. The Board of Direc tors of the ‘‘Winged M” Club will probably place the taboo on the event at one of their weekly meetings in the near future. It is likely that the swimmers of the club will protest the action of the board in tabooing the swim, but on account of the danger of some one drowning there is little likeli ’ hood of the event being staged again. In its pface a swimming meet, prob ably for city titles, will likely be , staged during the summer months. Hereafter the editor of the Uni , versity of Washington Daily will be , responsible for al articles that are , printed in the paper, as a result of a recent action of the University Stu dent Affairs Committee.
