W i d m e r Develops New
System; Losing Grappler
May Challenge Opponent
Candidates From 6 Houses
Enter Field So Far; Rules
And Regulations Given
Members of the various intra
mural wrestling teams will swing
into action next Monday afternoon,
Earl “Dutch” Widmer, varsity
coach and referee, announced last
night.
A complete schedule of all ath
letes eligible for the first round of
the elimination contest has been
drawn by Coach Widmer, and ev
erybody is now waiting for the
gong.
The young championship ^spir
ants have been spending hours
working on the mats in the men’s
gymnasium. New and old holds
have been practiced and learned
and the boys are developing per
fect condition.
New Point System Used
In order to retain the interest in
the grappling game, Coach Widmer,
has developed a system whereby an
athlete who losses his bout may
issue a challenge to any aspirant
in his weight. In this way, a man
who loses, and still is imbibed, with
the spirit that he is better than
several others of his weight, has
but to issue a challenge and the
match will be a go. However, the
result of the challenge match will
not alter the championship stand
ing of the challenged man unless he
has already lost a match.
Schedule Given
So far six organizations have en
tered candidates. These men will
wrestle for individual champion
ships and the organization with the
majority of these winners will carry
away the team honors.

Many All-State Men

sons. He still played forward dur
ing his freshman year at Oregon,
but shifted to guard last winter,
where he was unanimous choice for
an all-coast berth. He ,is out to
repeat this season.
Jerry Gunther, the fifth letter
man, is filling the shoes left vacant
by Russ Gowans’ graduation in nice
shape. Like Okerberg and Jost, he
has found himself under Reinhart.
He had no high school experience,
but pastimed on several fast inde
pendent outfits, at one time play
ing with Hobson on the speedy Ar
leta team. At Oregon his rise was
slow. In his freshman year he
played do-nut ball and was a mem
ber of the frosh squad. He turned
out for varsity in 1924, but did not
get in any games. He was steadily
improving, however, and made a
letter last winter. He is a large,
fast man, and versatile enough to
fit in with last year's regulars.
Ray Murray is crowding the reg
ular forwards hard for a position.
He had two years’ experience with
the Wichita, Kansas, state champ
ionship high school team, and one
with Eugene high. Scholastic diffi
culties have kept him from playing
before, but they are all cleared up
now. He is an exceptionally accu
rate shot. He is also a pitcher of
considerable ability.
Arnold Kiminki, a four-year man
from Astoria where he teamed with
Westergren, is very much in the
running for a place on the team,
and will probably work in as a
reserve. He saw three year’s serv
ice in the Salem tournament, and
flashed brilliantly with the 1924
freshman netBters. He was not in
school last winter, playing with the
Columbia Club, of Astoria. He also
plays football and basketball.
Ray Edwards, sub center, and
forward, has the distinction of win
ning 14 letters with McLoughlin
high of Milton-Freewater. Injuries,
and scholastic requirements have
kept him from former varsity teams
at Oregon, but he is in fine shape
now. He plays football, and base
ball, and runs the century in close
to even time.
Tom Powers, sub forward, is an
other all-state man, winning the
honor while a member of the Uni
versity high team which won the
state championship in 1922. He
knows the game thoroughly and is
a handy man to have around. Bas
ketball is his only sport.

Other business which was brought
up before the meeting was the pro

A committee of nine was appointed

supposedly have filled their langu
age requirements are not able to
do reading in foreign languages re
quired by their various depart
ments.

that the only fair standard of rat
ing examinations is established by
what a group working under like
conditions can do. You must take
the actual achievemtn of the en

“What is your theory of ques
tioning in examinations?” Dr. Tay
lor was asked.
“In making out the questions,”
he replies, “the best practice is to
make the questions hard enough so
that no member of the group can
get all of them right. If that is
possible, the examination from the
standpoint of comparative grading
is not a failure. Some questions
should be easy enough for every
one to get, some intermediate, and
some too difficult for anyone.”
Harl E. Douglass of the school
of education reacted quite differ
ently to Dr. Lowell’s article.
“I regard it as very superficial,”
he said. “Any junior in education
could do as well. Outside of the
literary style, which is excellent,
it does not seem to me' that Lowell
InlinllnllnllftinilliiXrilFrBInllnllrillnllrSInMniFiairinsrnirnllnmrnHi
commits himself to anv points at
all.
“The importance that teachers
put on examinations is much too
largo^ in proportion to the reliability
that examinations have. In this
connection, I performed an experi
ment which indicates that the
grade depends on the person that
grades the paper. Papers were
passed to teachers who graded
them, the marks were then erased
arid' noted and the papers redistri
buted. Often the resulted grade
varied as much as ten on a hundred
percent basis. Even the same per
son will make a different in mark
ing tho same paper.”
Mr. Douglass favors tho new
forms of examination, which he
considers more just, mostly because
of relieved strain on the teacher,
who is enabled to grade the brief
papers himself.
“The chief purpose of examina
tions is not incentive to study but
is to measure the knowledge of the
pupil. The educational value
amounts to nothing.”
