JACKSON EASY FAVORITE
WITH DAME MISFORTUNE
Recovered from Scalp Wound,
Wrestler Breaks Arm
Sliding to Second.
Leon S. Jackson, lightweight
wrestler on Ed Shockley’s aggrega
tion of mat artists which met de
feat at the conference meet this year,
and heavy hitter in the doughnut
baseball league this spring, Is the
champion hard luck freshman as far
as data which can be gathered in
dicate. Twice during his stay at the
University he" has been badly hurt,
and both times the accidents can be
ascribed to fate only, as their visible
cause has been trlval.
During his preliminary bout at the
conference meet, Jackson nearly
scalped himself by running afoul of
a table ten or twelve feet distant
from the mat, and Monday in the
game between the Dorm team on
which Jackson played first, and the
Fijis, he contrived to break his arm
just above the wrist while nego
tiating a slide to second. The slide
was apparently a perfect one, but
Jackson is once more under the sur
geon’s care.

TENNIS MEET
IS BIG EVENT
SIX COLLEGES TO PLAY FOR
CONFERENCE CHAMP
IONSHIP.
FIRST GATHERING OF ITS KIND
If Successful, Co-ed Tennis Will
Be Included in Following
Years. Dirt Courts to Be
Used. Bleachers to Be Built.
(By Willard Shaver)
What promises to be one of the
biggest athletic events of the year
is the Northwest Conference College
tennis tournamnt that local racquet
enthusiasts will have a chance to
witness Friday and Saurday of this
week. For on those two days a three
man team representing each one of
the "‘Big Six” colleges in the con
ference will play an elimination and
round robin series to determine who
will hold the conference reoquet
title.
First Dig Tournament
This is the first attempt at such
a gathering of tennis experts and if
it proves sucecssful it will be con
tinue dand eventually will include
co-ed teams as well as masculine rac
quet wielders. The teams that will
ocntend for the Northwest title will
come from the Universities of Wash
ington, and Idaho, Washington State
College, O. A. C., Whitman and Uni
versity of Oregon.
Previous conference titles have
been determined by division matches,
the winner of the Northern and East
ern divisions playing the winner of
the Southern division. Oregon has
been successful in past seasons in
defending her claim to college tennis
superiority within the state but has
not won a Northwest title for three
years.
Will Use lMrt Courts
The dirt courts on the campus will
be prepared for the coming cham
pionship matches and bleachers will
be erected to care for racquet “fans.”
It is hoped that a large attendance
of students will help make this event
such a success that its permanence
as an annual affair will be assured.
Graduate Manager Walker has ap
pointed a student manager of tennis
and under his supervision the tour
nament will be held. The contestants
coming from other colleges will be
entertained at different fraternity
houses and entertainment of some
sort will he provided for the visitors

(By Willard Sluder)
Oregon will win the Northwest
tollege basebal championship If en
thusiasm and display of pepper have
my weight. Such seemB to be the

jo played this week-end in Corvallis,
tor college students are rallying to
the support of one of the beet teams
that Oregon has ever put out and a
targe delegation is expected to take
the special that will convey the root

ness the first affray, which will be
:alledi promptly Friday at 4 p. m.
Baud May Go
An effort will be made to send the
band to fill In idle moments with
strains of Boola, Boola, and effect
in Itself of limitless value for instill
ing fight into Oregon supporters.
One victory will tie Oregon with
Washington for championship of the
Western division and will give the
lemon yellow undisputed title to
Oregon >State baseball honors. But
by taking both games from Wilkie
Clark's crew Oregon will be one vic
tory ahead of Washington and will
be entitled to meet the eastern div
ision champions for the Conference.
For every student who appears on
the Corvalls field a megaphone will
be provided and although organized
rooting is somewhat difficult at a
baseball game, Oregon supporters
can at least make Captain Fenton’s
men be fully aware of their pres
ence and unfailing support.

Bezdek and Graduate anager Walker
