Athletics Prominent Feature; Native Costume for Girls Is Discussed. From far-away Manila comes the Varsity News, official newspaper of the University of the Philippines. Xhe pa per contains two sheets, with four col umns of news on each, and is Tery like our American college papers in appear ance, with the exception of the names of the editorial staff—Alejo Labrador, Candido Africa and Aurelio N.

The University of the Philippines has a college of law, a college of medicine and surgery, a college of liberal arts, a college of engineering and a college of fine arts, with a total enrollment of 23S5 at the beginning of the college year. According to the Varsity News, which devotes an entire page to sport ing news, the university has many ath letic stars. George M. Cassidy seems to be their Hugo Bezdek. Under “College Gossip,” topics of campus interest are discussed, such as the wearing of the American uniform dress by the women of the university. According to the paper, the men prefer the girls in their native Philippine cos tumes. The women object to the men wearing European shoes, favoring the native "Barong Tagalo.” proud of its colleges of law and medi cine. The Varsity News shows that graduates of theae colleges are holding enviable positions in different mrt» of the world. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ Results of today's nines in the Doughnnt League.

The University of Washington has de cided to withdrew from the Northwest Intercollegiate conference, according to word received yesterday on the campus. The university board of control felt that membership in the Cooat confer ence alone was sufficient for athletic activities. At the same meeting, baseball was dropped from the list of intercollegiate sports for one year, at least. Intra mural baseball teams will be formed in stead. The above .-action will cut the annual spring trip for the Varsity baseball team, leaving O. A.

Every thing was in order, from gang figlrts to ice hockey, and it was the best re view of athletics that has been staged in the Doughnut league this year. The final score stood 10 to 9 in favor of the Kappa Sign, but the game was as evenly played as any Varsity game ever thought of being, and the Oregon Club inen, while they did not win, sent their dpponefcits off the floor consideiabty worse for wear. The Kappa Sig petrol, under the com mand of ‘'Doc” Ellis, started the fire works by gathering two points early in the contest, whereupon with little cere mony and less basketball, the Oregon 'Club Started out to get revenge.

It was originally intended to have the interclass basketball at the same time that the Doughnut league was play ing its schedule, but the large amount of time taken by the military drill and scienee made this impossible. The Doughnut league will Finish about the first week in February, and the interclass games will follow immediately. There will be in all probability three games, one between teams represent ing the freshmen and sophomores, one between the juniors and seniors, and the third will be between the winners of the first two games. According to Dean Walker’s program, as soon as interclass basketball is over, handball will come into favor. It has not been decided as yet whether the handball games will be made interfra ternity or interclass affairs. If enough interest is taken, both may be held. The handball tournament will start abont the middle of February, and will probably continue until some time in March. DR.

TO BE MAOEUP FEB. 8 Bouts to Determine Men Who Will Meet Washington Aggregation in Seattle. Pour Who Faced 0. A. C. Last Year Back; Match With Aggies to Be March 8. February S was set yesterday by can didates for the team ns the date for the tryouts for the wrestling team which will journey to Seattle to meet the Uni versity of Washington. The bouts will be on the same' order as last year, with the man gaining two decisions out of 'three getting a place on the team. Dean WWker will referee. In all probability six men will be taken along at the following weights: 108, 117. 127, 137, 148 and 105 pounds. The team will leave Eugene, February 15, and the meet will take place the next evening. Four Old Mon Back. Coach Harold Grey is very well pleased with the outlook, with four men back who wrestled the O. A. C. matmen last year. Norman (“Shorty”) Phillips is the only man in the paperweight class, brrt he has bad two yours of practice, and is showing up better right along. Bruce Fie gal, a veteran from last year, is the local man at 117 pounds. Ho has been working consistently and is in good trim. In an exhibition bout at the Y. M. C. A. stag nrix a week or so ago, Flegul showed his class by (downing J. B. McKinney, who omt weighed him by 10 pounds. McKhinej and “Si” Simola are the leading contestants for the 127-pound berth on the team. McKinney is new at the game, but learning fast, while Simola has had one year on the s,]uad. The two men are very evenly matched and the winner will be hard to choose. No iess than four men are out at the 137 mark. “Chief” Wilson, another one of last year’s team, and “Ohuck” Dundore, are both counted on to make a strong bid for the place, with Ed Padden and Elmer Howard the “dark horses,” who may upset the dope. How i nrd is a little over-weight, and will have to train down. Regular Training Begins. Captain Harold Grey and Thurston Faraway will furnish the competition at 148 pounds. Grey has not been in very good shape all year, but is in hopes that he will be in trim by February 8. He was kept off the team last year be cause he had to buck against “Rudy” Rutherford, northwest champion at his weight. Faraway has been displaying considerable cleverness in practice, and mny spring a surprise. George Taylor, still another of the team which faced O. A. C., is the single (Continued on page four) GOV.
