ATHLETICS TO PLAY BIG PARTNEXT TERM ■Basketball, swimming, handball, box ing. wrestling and track are some of the branches of athletics that the athletic department will start next term. The plan of the department is to get more men out and interested in the various activities. The plan was started under the S. A. T. with Eddie O’Connell aiding in the work. The unexpected close of the war and O’Connell's return to the Multnomah club put a crimp in the plans. With I)ean Walker back from Camp Taylor und Bill Hayward and “Shy” Huntington on the job, the work will be started again. One of the activities, that of swimming, is to he emphasized and it is planned that every student in school who cannot swim should register with Bill Hayward a.nd get started next month. There is nothing definite as yet to a varsity swimming team, hut it is probable that one will he organized. There will he basketball for every one. Besides the regular varsity and freshman teams there will he the dough nut league and the inter-class games. In basketball the outlook iH most prom ising. A few of the men were out last night getting in shape for the fight for places on the varsity. Among those win, were on the floor were Lieutenants Tin del iff anil (Jnrretl and “Shy" llunt irugton. A number of last year’s frosh und varsity were mining those present. The return of the Oregon men who ■ ' '■ I "II » "T"" ' ' - - ■■ — have been in the army for a time has begun. Ores Maddock, guard on the 1017 football team, is back. Dwight Wilson, pitcher on the varsity baseball 'team of last year, has been on the cam pus several days.
