At Iceland Stanford university a uni_ form sized letter is awarded for all major sports and a small “S” inside a ring in given for minor sports. Supporters for n uniform sized let ter for Oregon say they do not feel that Oregon should adopt u uniform letter because other schools of this part of the country have done so but that action will serve as an example to Oregon. They further elucidate that the chief reason with oppositionists to the meas ure offer is that it is breaking a tradi tion of Orpgon. Many students declare that a uniform sized letter will destroy individual interest, in the different forms of sports principally football. They say that football man expands more hard work and energy to gain his letter and that football is really primarily a college sport and should therefore he j recognized ns such by a larger letter than is awarded for track, basketball, baseball and wrestling.
