The International . Olympic commit
tee held Its meeting at Luxemburg,
'where the program for the Swedish
Olympic games was discussed. A Dum
ber of changes from the list of events
flven at London were effected. Sev
eral ' competitions were dropped and
ome new ones put on. Such sports t
Hockey, football, golf, lacrosse, polo
fon horseback, tennis, rackets and box-
ing were dropped. The Rev. S. de

after an objection from Colonel Balch
of Sweden the 'manly art" was ta
booed. The standing high and broad
jumps have been relegated, as also' the
400 meter hurdle race. ' The pentath
Ion, or fire event all around contest.
will be revived, but It will be different
from that at Athens in 1900, as there
will, be a 1,500 meter run Instead of
wrestling. .. s
Then there will be a decathlon, 'or
ten event all around, the list being
given below. The question of judging
the events was discussed at length, and
the Swedes will appoint foreigners, but
they must not exceed one-third of the
whole jury. . Any country sending an
entry of five events will be entitled to
have a representative on the interna
tional Jury. No cable or telegraph en
tries will be received by the Swedish
Olympic management
In the athletic program the following
events have .'been suggested; One hun
dred meters, 200 meters," 400 meters.
800 meters. 1X00 meters, 5,000 meters
and 10.000 'meters, all flat races for in
dividual entries, with 110 meter, hur
dles and a five' mile, steeplechase In
which four of the entries' for each
wountry will run-as a team and will
core as suet, though all entries will
also be considered as Individual en
tries for individual prices in the same
race. It was pointed out by the Eng
lish representatives that a relay race
of only 400 meters, each man la the
teams of four being given 100 meters,
would be very dangerous, and its con
sideration was postponed. A relay race
of 1,600 meters was proposed with
teams of four, each to run 400 meters,
and another team race of 8,000 meters
was suggested Id which five could en
ter and three could score. In jumping
the Items were high and broad jump
(both standing and running In each
ease), pole jump, bop, step and jump
and a further variety which had better
for the present fee described as a Swed
ish jump. "
The antiquated and mistaken item
of the discus "as at Athens" has final
iy been dropped from the Olympic pro
gram by the decision of the Interna
tional committee at Luxemburg, and.
though the discus will still have two
competitions, both of these will be in
the "free style," but in the first the
Athlete will throw with one hand
(either right or left), and in the second
fee will throw with each hand, the
core he makes with his right being
added to that made with his 'left to
form a total. Exactly the tame meth
od will be followed In the score for
putting the weight, which therefore
taa two competitions, and in throwing
the Javelin held in the middle, but the
javelin has a third competition as well,
for the "free style," Jn which a man
may fcold it how he likes and in either
hand provided he uses so aid except
bis ihaad in throwing. Both the ham
mer and the tugs of war will be the
same as in London.
A, walking race of ten kilometers
was added at the special request of
the British representatives, but It will
be seen that the field events still con
siderably preponderate over the track
races, and this superiority is Increased
by the inclusion in the athletic pro
gram of a pentathlon and a decathlon,
in each of which new and independent
entries have to be . made, s similar
performances done In other events will
sot count The pentathlon will consist
of the broad jump. 200 meters flat,
discus. Javelin and 1,500 meters flat
The decathlon will Include on the first
day, 100 meters flat, broad Jump,
weight. 400 meters flat high Jump,
and on the second day, hurdles, discus,
pole Jump, Javelin, 1,501 meters flat
A challenge cup has also been offered
by Baron Pierre de Coubertln for a
"modern pentathlon." consisting of,
one, a foot race over obstacles; two,
hooting; three, swimming: four, a
test of horsemanship; five, a competi
tion j either boxing, fencing or

MAKE GOOD WITH TEAM
TO
Lineup at Oregon this Year Uncertain
' On the Flank Positions
While the football situation at Ore
gon is rather optimistic, according to
report emanating ' from Bill Hay
ward, Oregon's famous trainer, as yet
there Is nothing to warrant a favor
able conclusion as to any of the big
games. With Clark and Pinkham, two
of the greatest players of the North
west, out of the game, by graduation
and the four-year ruling,,' and three
star ends, Dodson, Klltz.and Michael,
out of the contest, it Is a pretty hard
matter to count on Freshman mater
ial to fill -their places. Hayward ia
confident; and is looking for, big
things from such men as "Heinle"
Heldenricb, the popular La Grande
High school star, Hall, the big husky
that played a steady game for Baker
high tbe past year, and three or four
big chaps from Eugene ligh, to aay
nothing of the pick of Portland play
era who will eater the University the
coming semester. ,
Under the Forbes system of coach
ing, that of developing two first
teams rather than a first and second,
and using two sets of backs, tackles,
guards and ends throughout the game,
thus keeping the men fresh, under
his famous Tale system, there still
remains about eighteen varsity players
who will be back again this fall, pro
viding nothing unforseen happens this
summer. . For this reason, Hayward,
who always takes the first long shots
in the predicting game, has not begun
to scowl as yet, and that means to the
college man, that things are lookln'
fine. 1
Coach Warner comes to the west
highly recommended, and has a sys
tem of coaching entirely different
from that used by Forbes. ;
It is predicted by many friends of
"Heinle" that the La Grande boy will
be wearing a varsity 'O when tie
season closes at Eugene. His re
markable' record in high school ath
letics, In both football and track,
shows he has the right stuff for a
collegiate player. It Is thought by
many bere that the young man will
take the famous Plnkham's place the
coming year, as he has the build, the
grit, the endurance and the "fight"
to fill the vacancy as well as any
other prep school player in the state.

Has anybody here seen Wall? His
whereabouts Is a much-mooted ques
tion, and while his friends are trying
to locate the high school football
coach who has been "mysteriously"
missing for two months following his
return from Wisconsin, the High
school team Is flopping around like a
chicken with its head orf, for the
shock of not having Wall here this
fall, Is a serious one to the football
aggregation, and ' rather unnerved it.
There Is little chance of a horse
race meet In La Grande this season.
Plowing up the race track for the ac
comodation of automobiles, spoiled the
chance. The track Is of but little use
as a speedway for the auto fans, and
positively useless for racing, though
horses are being worked out on it in
Indian fashion, as It were. The track
is not wide enough to permit two
steeds abreast. 1

On aa average of five automobile
parties pass through La Grande week

tours. There Is some satisfaction ir)
being on a transcontinental automo
bile highway. While , some of the
autos that have passed here have been
from Idaho to Oregon and Washington
points, the general average have been
trans-continental trips, or nearly so.

Unless the team takes an extended

this season. Philadelphia right now

season and a better balanced organiza
tion than any other in the circuit
Boston or New York may overhaul
the Athletics, as It is a long time until
Oct 7. Any club that catches Mack's
men, however, will have to play the
most phenomenal ball of history.

oped in the big leagues since tbe

At that, Topsy Hartsel, Rube Oldrlng

other right header la the league, while
Cy Morgan and Jack Coombs ' have
shown remarkable ability se far. To
Coombs falls the honor of rounding
out this formidable array of box ma
