! clothing, hats and furnishings.
Mr- Green is exceedingly anxious
to get the trade of the men of the

CROSS MOT SOOR
TEAMS FROM NORTHWEST TO
MEET IN PORTLAND FEB. 21
Hayward to Choose Squad From Men
Showing up Best in Next Few
Weeks' Practice
Five members of the University of
Oregon track squad who show up the
best within the next few weeks will
be sent to Portland on February 21
to take part in a cross country race
between a number of the larger in
stitutions in the Northwest, accord
ing to the present plans of Trainer
Bill Hayward. Few particulars are
available yet as to the complete plans
for the race, but it is planned to
hold it on the paved streets, accord
ing to word brought back from Port
land by Hayward.
A beautiful trophy cup will be
presented to the winner of the race
and a banner will be presented to the
winning team. No selection has
been made of the team to represent
the lemon-yellow yet but it is almost
certain that Glen Walkey, who won
first place in the cross country race
between Oregon and G. A. C. held
during homecoming week last fall,
will be one of the mainstays of the
team. Among the other aspirants
who are out for a place on the squad
are Emerald Sloan, Bill Coleman, Don
Davis, Lester Gale, Victor Bradeson
and A1 Combes.
The fine weather of the past week
has allowed outdoor practice for the
distance runners and it is expected
that more will join the squad next
week ih an effort to make a place on
the team going to Portland.
