the game and went directly to the train
where they found seventy-five Univer.
sity students and about seven hundred
townspeople to send them off.
A group of students started a young
yell practice in the station park and
although the train was more than an
hour late the crowd remained loyal to
the last minute and the time passed

moned to serve their country. £Vhen
they left they were still smiling.

sports ns I can see no good reason
for a distinction being made between
the iusigna representing the letter win
ners in the different majors.
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.
