Our athletic policy in the past has been not to step down out of our class to meet high school teams in regular competition. That the rule is one which should be observed to the letter has been demonstrated by the two exceptions which have been made this vear. Frequently it happens that in such sports as baseball and basketball, where maturity is not a material as set, a high school can put out a team worthy of the University’s best met tle. Frequently, also, such games are handy because they afford the Var sity needed practice or fill in gaps in the schedule of a long trip. Wash ington and most of the other confer ence colleges meet high school teams, even in football. Nevertheless, local conditions make it wiser for Oregon to refrain from breaking a lance with any “prep” school. In the first place, there is nothing to gain and everything to lose, in such a meeting. If the collegians win, they earn no credit, for their victoiy is taken as a matter of course by their supporters, while among the more zealous partizans of the high school boys it is considered almost in the light of an outrage. On the other hand, should the high school team “put one over” on its older op ponents, the home fans would never cease to boast of the victoiy. But a more important consideration is the danger that the sharp rivalry developing in an athletic contest wil leave the high school students perma nently embittered against the Uni versity. We cannot afford to sacrifice a single friend, to say nothing of ft possible Oregon student, for any prot its to be gained from athletic rela tions with high schools. We want the preppers on our side. Then let s play in our own back-yaid. . « * “EXCUSE ME” * * A false report that stated that at second game in Seattle, Washing ton defeated Oregon 17-3 sent a cold chill through the hopeful fans, but this was later dispelled by the true account of the 2-1 victory. “Bez” waxed pugilistic a coupde of times on the trip, dut didn’t se riously injure anyone. A mill h tween the lanky Dobie and our own stumpy “Bez” would be amusing as well as interesting. We don’t like to brag, but, as sub sequent events showed, we were cor rect when we agreed with “Doc” Stew art that Oregon stood a good chance of carrying off the Columbia meet. The advantage which the 0. A. C track men have over tlu> athletes from other colleges in the splendid oppor tunities offered by their large indoor track was distinctly shown at Colum bia, in the superior condition of some The Stanford broad jumper who, by defeating a California man in the of the Corvallis men. jump-off of a tie, saved the meet for his university, did about the biggest thing possible for a Stanford man to do. He won the Stanford-Califomia meet. “Bez” has no alibi to offer for that disastrous affair at Seattle. “The boys were too cocky,” said he. “It did them a world of good to get that beating.” ****••■»•**** * ANNOUNCEMENT • *********** * All students wishing to try for * * alternates to fair guides will be * * required to take an examination * * Saturday, April 24, at 8:00 A.
