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.”

in today’s game getting four hits out of
five trips to the plate. Steers had an
average of .500, getting three safe blows
out of six times up. 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. Colonel
Leader was an interested spectator to
today's “Comedy of Errors.” He occu
pied a position of honor on the Oregon
bench and warmed up several Oregon
players during the game. The Colonel
showed a marked ability to “pick ’em
out of the sky” but flatly refused to use •
a glove.
Berg and Dunton will be the JJregon
battery for tomorrow’s contest, while
O. A. C. tans not announced her pitcher.
Tomorrow’s game will start at 10:30.
