ASHLAND WINS
DEBATE TITLE
McLoughlin High School
Defeated 2 to 1
REFERENDUM QUESTION
DeCou Cup is Awarded to
Victorious Team
Ashland won the state high school
debating championship by defeat
ting McLoughlin Union high school
of Milton-Freewater last night in
Villard hall by a two to one deci
sion. The two teams met as a re
sult of winning the championship
in the eastern and western divi
sions of the state. The winning
debaters were awarded the DeCou
cup by Professor E. E. DeCou as
a token of the victory.
Judges were Robert W. Prescott,
Dean E. C. Robbins, and Prof. Hugh
E. Rosson. Representatives of the
winning team upheld the negative
side of the question, Resolved,
“That the referendum is a desirable
feature of representative govern
ment,” were Barnard Joy, and
Marion Leach. They were coached
by Rosa Dodge Galey.
Points Clear Out
Roy Herndon and Chester Bab
cock coached by B. H. Conkle, up
held the affirmative side of the
question for Milton-Freewater. Ar
thur M. Cannon, president of the
Oregon High School Debating
league and a residont'of Hood Riv
er, presided at last night’s debate.
The affirmative based its case
on three main points. First, the
referendum is demanded by the
people. Second, it is truly in ac
cordance with democratic govern
ment. Third, 1* has been used suc
cessfully in practice.
The winning Ashland team de
nounced the referendum system as
a desirable feature of representa
tive government on four issues.
First: The referendum has not
been a success in Oregon. Second:
It is not practical in all countries
having representative government.
Third: It strikes at tho vory root
of representative government.
Fourth: Legislation should not be
in the hands of the people them
selves as it necessarily is under
the referendum.
This year there were 8-1 high
schools in the debating league. Tho
state is divided into seven dis
tricts, four in tho western and three
in the eastern part of the state.
Pendleton won in 1922, and 1923.
Salem won in 1924. The DeCou
cup becomes permanent possession
of high school winning it in three

SUMMER WORK SET
IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION
11
Those wishing to register in
courses in physical education this
summer will probably have an op
portunity to choose their work from
a fairly expansive list of subjects.
Dean John Bovard, with Miss Ce
cil Johnson, director of physical
education in the Albany public
schools, will have charge of general
educational subjects. Miss John
son will devote her time to ele
mentary gymnastics, swimming,
dancing, and sports, while Dean
Bovard will have charge of the up
per division. Two particular courses
will be offered by Dean Bovard,
one, “Problems in Physical Educa
tion,” will be given for the benefit
of physical educators and adminis
trators of physical education, and
will have as its purpose to show
what physical education is trying
to accomplish. His other course will
be “School Health Problems” and
the main ideas stressed in this course
will be the organization of pro
grams for health in schools and the
relation of school health programs
to physical education, to general
education plans and to community
health. These two courses are ex
peeted to be especially beneficial
to instructors of physical education
in rural districts.
Virgil Karl, who as coach at
Washington high school in Portland
proved his ability to turn out good
athletes, many of whom later be
came Oregon football stars, will
have charge of classes in football
and track.
William Reinhart, who is consid
ered one of the ablest young
coaches in the Northwest and has
been baseball and basketball coach
for the past year on the campus,
will have charge of basketball and
baseball this summer.

PROF. J. HADAMARD MAY
VISIT CAMPUS IN JUNE
Prof. J. Hadamard of Paris, world
famous mathematician, is likely to
visit the Oregon campus, Prof. E.
E. DeCou, head of the mathematics
department, said yesterday. Profes
sor Hadamard is to lecture before
a meeting of the San Francisco
Section of the Mathematical Society
to be held here June 19.
This will be the first regular
meeting of the society to be held
in the Pacific Northwest, said
Processor DeCou, who points out
that it is a great honor to have
the meeting placed here without
solicitation. It was largely through
the work of Stanford and Univer
sity of Southern California men that
the meeting was given to Oregon,
said the professor, characterizing
the gathering as “an unusual priv
ilege, for it is on rare occasions
that such a famous scientist can be
brought to the Pacific coast.”
The meeting will be held on the
campus June 19, and the following
day the members of the society will
be taken on a scenic trip up the
McKenzie river. Many members
along the Pacific coast have al
ready sent in their acceptances of
invitations sent out, said Professor
DeCou.

“The students who turn in all of
their equipment will be entitled to
the complete refund of $5.00, which

PROFESSOR W. D. SMITH
FINISHES LATEST BOOK
The last three chapters of the
.work dealing with “Physical and
Economic Geology of Oregon,” by
Professor Warren D. Smith, are
now on the press.
T-he first of these chapters deals
with the flora and fauna of Oregon
and their distribution. The infor
mation is derived from sources of
ten obscure to any but a profession
al. The next chapter discusses na
tural lines of communication, the
migration of plants and animals
from one continent to another and
how these natural lines of com
munication affect our highways,
railroads, telephone lines and other
modern industrial systems.
The last chapter, written by Dean
P. G. Young in collaboration with
Professor Smith, deals with the pop
ulation of Oregon. It is a survey
of the elements of our population,
native and foreign, of the sources
and geographical distribution con
trolling it. For instance, it tells
of the colony of Basques in Oregon,
many of whom can speak no Eng
lish. These people engage exten
sively in sheep raising and form
a community all their own.
