Manager 177-J News and Editorial Booms 653 PHONES Editor 841 Buelnesss Office 1200 WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH WASHINGTON. For the first time in the history of Junior Week-end that gala event is to be minus the attraction of an inter-collegiate track meet, due to the failure of the University of Washington to fulfill its agreement to send a team here for the meet which was scheduled for next Saturday. Besides being a disappointment to the students, the cancellation of the meet is to rob the week-end program of one of its most attractive numbers and one athletic event which visitors expect especially to see at Oregon, where Coach Hayward has built up a nation-wide reputation for track athletes. The reason given by the Washington authorities for with drawing from the meet is not one which speaks very highly of their institution and the spirit in which it is meeting the prob lems of war times. Judging from outward appearances we would say that the Purple and Gold has lost its fight and is suffering from an acute attack of the “blues.” Their plea is that the war has robbed them of all their athletes and totally disorganized their athletic department, and that they would be unable to enter a team to be compared in any way with those put out in former years. Washington is not alone the sufferer from inroads made up on the ranks of track athletes by the war, nor are other condi tions existing there one iota worse than those which Oregon has had to face this spring. But Oregon has not lost its fight, even with the certainty of the first defeat in years staring it in the face. Without a single track veteran on the campus and with Coach Hayward unable to direct the work of the inexperienced men, the work here has gone right ahead and the question of can celling meets because the team was not up to the standard of for mer years has not been thought of. Without throwing any more boquets at ourselves than the action of the board of the Seattle institution warrants, the track team of this year is deserving of more credit than has been any other team to represent Oregon in this line of athletics in recent years. Day after day the men who represented the Lemon-Yel low in the O. A. C. meet this afternoon have been plugging away with the full knowledge that they stood no chance in the world of winning anything as a team and that not more than one or two of them had any prospects of earning a letter. Hut they had the fight—they were not quitters. Just what the trouble is with Washington we don’t know, but, venturing a wild guess, we would diagnose the case as one of common "cold feet.” ALUMNI MEDAL CONTEST SET FOK TUESDAY, MAY 14 Gold Trophy to Go to Rest All-around Debater—Four Men and Two Girls Trying Out. The annual Alumni Modal contest has been set for Tuesday, May 11, accord ting to a statement made yesterday by Professor It. \\.

For O. A. C. Lodell was the leading sticker with three out of six. The O. A. C. diamond was in bad shape for a contest and Medley, Steers and Runquist looked as though they were in a hay field. Umpire Newell called several bad ones during the afternoon, but as he was not partial in his decisions nei ther team has anything to kick about in this respect. The crowd was small and there was little pep on the part of the Aggies until their team won the contest.
