Swimmers Beat Cal in South But Lose to Stanford McCook Comes From Rear to Win Meet In Final Event Freshmen Schedule Meet For Next Saturday Coming from behind in the last ten feet of the final race, McCook of the Oregon varsity swimming team, gained a three-point win for his team and an even break for the southern trip, completed Saturday. The varsity lost to the exception ally powerful Stanford squad by an overwhelming score, Saturday. Friday night, the team won from the University of California squad, 31-28, and, although the time was slow in most of the events, the meet was the most exciting of the year. Oregon took the lead in the first event, the dives, as Byerley and Davis placed first and second. Cal- j ifornia, however, retaliated by win- i ning the relay in a very close finish, and from that point on, the meet was nip and tuck. McCook Wins in Finish When the final event, the 100 yard free style, was due, Oregon was leading, 26 to 24, nnd needed at least a second and third to win the meet. McCook got a bad start and at first appeared to be out of it. | He speeded up, however, and took a j scant lead from Castelazo when only j a few feet from the finish. A summary of results follows: | Dives: Byerley (O) first, Davis i (O) second, Ncwmeyer (C) third. i Belay: won by California, Gilson, I Sullivan, Mayne, and Castelazo. 50 yards free style: Boggs (O) first, Castelazo (C) second, Sullivan (C) third. Time, 27.2. 220 yard free style: Gilson (C) first, Beid (O) second, Boglgs (O) third. Time, 2:43. 100 yard backstroke: Trimbley (C) first, Newmeyor (C) second, Kier (O) third. Time, 1:17. 100 yard breaststroke: Fletcher (O) first, Smith (O) second, Mur man (C) third. Time, 1:19. 100 yard free style: McCook (O) first, Castelazo (C) second, Sullivan (C) third. Time, 1:02. Stanford Wins Easily The meet with Leland Stanford turned out to be a rout for the j northerners. Stanford possesses one of the strongest teams that has ever been assembled on tho coast and the Webfoots failed to take even a second place. The final count was 53 to 6. Three coast intercollegiate records •were shattered by the Stanford men in an effort to show the Webfoots a good time. Wally O’Connor, a mem ber of the 1924 United States Olym pic team, lowered the 220 yard free style mark to 2:27.1. Carl Stevenson sot a new mark in tho 150 back stroke by winning that event in 1:55.6. The third mark was broken when the Stanford relay team made the 400-foot distance in 1:05.2. Complete rosults follow: 50 yard free style: Christensen (S) first, Akker (8) second, Boggs and Oreulieh (0) tied for third. Time, 26.1. 150 yard backstroke: Stevenson (S) first, Brooks (S) second, Kier (O') third. Time, 1:55.6. 220 yard free style: O’Connor (S) first, Dan ford (S) second, Reid (O) third. Time, 2:27.1. Dives: Smith (S) first, Mills (S) second, Davis (O) third. 200 yard breaststroke: West (S) first, Ophuls (S) second, Smith (O’) third. Time, 2:55.9. 100 yard free style: O’Connor (S) first, Williams (8) second, Greulicli O) third. Time, 58.6. Relay, 400 feet: won by Stanford, j Christensen, O’Connor, Williams, and Doerr. Time, 1:05.2. The 46 to 22 defeat received by : the Aggie swimmers at the hands of the Multnomah club team last Saturday and the slow time made in the several events indicate that the Beavers stand a good chance of losing to the Oregon varsity when the two teams tangle here on the afternoon of February 26. The fresh, preliminary to the var sity meet an that date, will attempt to take the wind from the sails of the Aggie rooks. As the frosli won ; the meet at Corvallis last Saturday I by a 44 to 15 count, they should ■ have little trouble repeating. The freshman swimmers have also J scheduled a meet for this Saturday j afternoon in the Woman’s building pool with tho Vancouver, Washing ton, Community club swimming j team. Fans will be given an oppor- I tunity to see in action a fresh ag- | gregntion which has already proven itself exceptionally strong. Burden (Continued from pope one) to be obtained. I remember when I used to go to A. G. ITovey, treas urer of the niversity at that time, and head of the old Lane County bank, for my $100; he used to think he was giving me a million. The equipment when I came to tho Uni versity consisted of a long horse buck, chest weights, dumb bells, Indian clubs, Swedish ladder, ropes and stall bars and a punching bag, the whole of which would not ex ceed $200. “Handball, indoor baseball, foot ball and track were the forms of athletic events in 1897. In 1898 I started the game of basketball which was very rough, especially when played in our little gymnas ium. At that time there were no side lines and the ball was bounced everywhere. We had some mighty rough old games in those days and easily rivaled football. First Team Named “One of the first basketball teams at the University was composed of “Squee” Ramp, “Doc” Ziegler, Ray Davis, “Pat” Murphy and “Dutch” Thayer. They were a mighty hard bunch to beat. I think it was in 1899 that we played the “Red Wings,” a basketball team from Minnesota which was touring the northwest. For this gamo, we ar ranged for the use of the old armory floor located in the Day building, which stood on the corner of Wil lamette and Seventh streets. This place accommodated a considerably larger number than our own gym nasium. We lost the game but we learned a lot. It was the first team we had seen who used the over-hand shot and it surely impressed us. All the other teams in Oregon were of mediocre calibre.” Because of the lack of adequate baseball playing field, indoor base ball was played to a considerable ex tent. A press account of February 22, 1900, reads as follows: “The in door baseball team was defeated in Corvallis on February 22, by the team of the O. A. C., the score being 17 to 12. The varsity men put up an excellent gamo, but were un able to overcome the superior team work of the college nine. Indoor baseball is getting to be one of the most popular sports of the day and, - in time, will occupy as large a place in the college world as any other branch of athletics, football alone excepted.” Burden First Golfer in Eugene According to Mr. Burden the Uni- ' versity tennis courts used to be located in front of McClure hall and tennis was quite a popular j sport. Besides the introduction of basketball, Mr. Burden is credited with starting golf at the University. In fact, he was the first golfer in Eugene. Golf, when introduced in i 1900, was played on the campus for | a long time. This game of the greens took such a popular fancy that later a course was laid out which is now the Eugene Municipal links. Burden was instrumental in starting the first golf club in Eu gene.

Printing Co. 76 W. 9th Phone 470 Hayward Has Track Men Out Getting in Trim Meets Between Varsity And Frosh Held Each Saturday p. m. Aspirants for the University of Oregon varsity and freshman track teams are working out daily on Hayward field. Each Saturday after noon Bill Hayward, Oregon mentor, runs off several track or field events in order to get a line on the men turning out and also to help condi tion them. Last Saturday he had the men competing in the three-quarter mile, the 600 and the 300 yard events. The distances were cut down be cause of the cold weather and be cause Hayward doesn’t want his men to take a chance on hurting themselves before they get in condi tion. Men trying out for the mile affair ran three-quarters of a mile Saturday. The varsity men fin ished Jensen, first; Neidermeyer, second; Ross, third; Winter, fourth; Syvanan, fifth. No times were an nounced. Beals finished first in this event for the frosh; Kuykendal, sec ond; and Stevens, third. The 600 yard event for the varsity went to Overstreet, with Cruikshank and Kingsley finishing second and third. There were no entrys from the frosh. Matson, Jackson, and Clark fin- j ished in the order named in the var- j sity 300 yard event. Hamill took the same event for the frosh with Thompson, Pinney, and Shimizu fin ishing behind him. Next Saturday afternoon the 75 and 100 yard dashes will be run off as well as the high jump, pole vault and shut put. The three-quarter mile race for the varsity and the 300 yard event for the yearlings will also be run off, according to Hay- ! ward.

Portland and San Francisco, in the Pacific Coast baseball league, finished deep in the cellar last season, but their teams of hustling youngsters kept the turnstiles clicking, and enabled them to finish the year out of the red. Oregon's newcomers to the varsity fold this year are as likely a lot as ha3 ever greeted a lemon-yellow hoop mentor. Two of them, Milligan and Ridings, are working regularly on the varsity five, and most of the others are making the trips and getting in for extra duty. Ridings Not to Play Don McCormick, a stocky guard, was high point man last Saturday against Multnomah with 12 tallies. A year ago, McCormick was a very sick young man, and not given one chance in fifty of ever recovering from an attack of spinal meningitis which had him by the heels. Now ho lias completely recovered, and has shown more improvement than any other basketeer since the sea son started. Dave Epps and Keith Emmons are two other youngsters who have improved by leaps and bounds since the season started, and who are now just about ripe for big time. Both will perform tonight. Joe Bal ly is a tall, steady fellow who puts up a good brand of ball, but lacks the brilliance of some of the others. Gordon Ridings, one of the classiest of the bunch, will not play because of an injured foot received in the Aggie game last Friday night.

The Norblad bill, if it becomes a law, will prevent the two state in stitutions of higher education from admitting any student from another state who cannot prove his eligibil ity to enter the higher institutions i of his own state. “Whatever may be the effect of this bill on other institutions,” said Mr. Spencer, “so far as the Univer sity of Oregon is concerned, it would merely make a statute out of one of our own faculty regulations that has already been enforced here for two years.
