PRATT FjOR C APTAIN .
F o r captain th e choice is nearly a toss-
u p betw een C aptain Zeigler and Captain
P ra tt, of M ultnom ah. T he latter is
nam ed as captain of the All-Oregon team
as ta k in g precedence over Zeigler, on
account of his team ’s victory over Ore­
gon in th e first P ortland games, when
both team s were on th e ir m ettle. Luke
L. G oodrich, of th e University of Oregon,
is th e logical m an to be selected as
m anager, he having handled the U niver­
sity team ably and conducted its affairs
on a long trip. T he team should be
coached by th e best available m an in th e
state, who is George M cM illan, the
best all-around player in th e N orthw est.

In th e line th e choice is m ore difficult,
so m any different elem ents en te r into
th e question, such as the stren g th of op­
posing players and th e support given by
m en back of the line on the defense.
W ith a strong line, Zeigler and G orrell
have th e speed and tac k lin g ability to
protect th e ends. Z eigler’s fierce tac k ­
ling won him a place on th e All-Coast
team , and G orrell’s work in the T hanks­
giving game was sufficiently b rillian t to
win him a place on the Oregon team .
G orrell is an experienced m an, and was
end on th e Oregon ’97 eleven. H is style
resem bles Z eigler’s—fierce tackling and
speedy ru n n in g down on kicks.
Jakw ay m ade substitute on the All-
Coast team , and is a very clever player.
H e ran k s up w ith R usk and P ratt, and
by m any w ould be considered as out­
ran k in g th e form er. However, in a hard,
sm ashing gam e, R u sk ’s superior e n d u r­
ance and w eight would be m ore telling.
(It is the general opinion am ong nil«
prejudiced critics that Jakw ay, of the
U niversity of Oregon, should have th e
position given to R usk, of M ultnom ah.
Jakw ay has been regarded as one f the
rongest players on this coast and has
handled such men as B u rn ett, of S tan ­
ford, Pringle, of California, and P ratt,
of M ultnom ah, with com parative ease.
The M ultnom ah men speak in h ig h est
praise of Ja k w a y ’s work and California
experts selected him as a sub-tackle on
th e All-Pacific Coast team for 1900.
D uring the past two seasons Jakw ay has
outplayed every m an th at was pitted
against him . He is heavier th an R usk
by eight or nine pounds and d u rin g his
entire college course has played on the
’varsity, in every game, displaying
w onderful nerve and power of endurance.
Despite these facts, Rusk is chosen for
the position on account of his superior
“ w eight and endurance.’’ T he O re­
gonian m an fails to rem em ber th a t Rusk
was com pletely outplayed by T hurston,
an Oregon freshm an, on T hanksgiving
day,
A nother g rea t injustice is done when
Oregon is rated as th ird best in the state.
The reasons given for th is are E u g en e's
defeats early in th e season. These
reasons are poor indeed. T he defeat by
Salem was a very questionable affair and
w hen Oregon m et M ultnom ah first, th e re
were six freshm en in th e form er line-up.
Oregon certainly outplayed M. A. A. C.
on T hanksgiving day, and only th e m ud
prevented two or th ree touchdow ns on
th e p art o f th e ’varsity. Oregon won
from California th is season and also won
th e inter-collegiate cham pionship of the
Pacific N orthw est. These facts should
have been taken into consideration when
th e ratin g of th e sta te ’s team s was u n d er­
taken
U nbiased critics place Oregon
first, w ith Salem and M ultnom ah even
for second place.)

T he Association began th e new year
w ith a rousing m eeting last W ednesday
evening. G oodall, G orrell, Load, W il­
son and Adams, the men who attended
th e Pacific Coast S tu d en ts’ Conference

ers and the m en in attendance.
The Bible classes took up th eir work
last week w ith -a m arked increase in
attendance over the class m eetings before
th e holidays.

THE GLE-. CLUB TOUR.
Four S rej
f J Conceits Given In
Southern Oregon.
The th ird annual tour of the U niver­
sity of Oregon Glee Club is an event o f
the past, and the boys are all back look­
ing happy and contented, all vowing
th at never have they enjoyed a more
pleasant and altogether satisfactory trip .
The tour this year was to S outhern O re­
gon and was in every way a success. At
all the tow ns visited the boys m et with
th e warmest of welcomes, and were made
to feel, not th at they were strangers from
a far country, but th at they were at once
friends and guests of the people.
The universal com m ent upon the sin g ­
ing was th a t it was good—to an extent
far beyond expectation, the especial
points of excellence m entioned being the
perfect harm ony of voices and balance of
parts. T he snap and dash w ith , which
th e boys sang, and th e m elodious quality
of voice possessed by tile singers also
seemed to draw forth m uch com m ent on
the part o f the audiences.
The instrum ental work by Mr. Frazer
was highly appreciated everyw here and
he won his way straight to the hearts of
the people by his talented work both .at
th e piano and in the travesty. Mr. F a t-
on also was a favorite and did his work
in a very m asterful and superior way.
Prof. G len was in his usual good voice
and the audiences everyw here were very
appreciative of his work as a soloist.
At Roseburg, "lhe club was deeply, in ­
debted to Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Stanton
for the gracious m anner in which they
opened th e ir home to the boys and
royally entertained them until the wee
small hours of the m orning. At G rants
Pass, the Glee Club was the guest of the
20th C entury Club, and aside from the
hearty greeting extended to the boys
tlioy were indebted to this organization
for a rare trea t in the way o f a program m e
o f local talen t given by the orchestra ami
vocal artists. At M edford, a g reat part of
the clu b ’s success and pleasure was due
to the kind offices of Prof. N arregan, the
superintendent o f schools at th at place.
T he High School orchestra and band,
under the direction of P ro f N arregan,
w ent tar tow ard furnishing the e n te rta in ­
m ent o f the evening, and they played in
such a m anner as to reflect g ieat credit,
not only upon th eir able director but
also upon the city of Medford. Mr. W. I.
Vawter, an alum nus o f th e University,
m et th e club at the depot at Medford and
extended to the hoys a very cordial
welcome.
T he next ami last stop was Ashland, a
Ireautiful little city in the heart of the
m ountains. H ere m any of the student«»
o f th e U. O., who were home on tin ir
vacations, as well as the ex-students of
th e U niversity, greeted the boys at the
train and im m ediately made them feel
th a t they were am ong friends. Nor were
th e citizens of Ashland to be outdone in
lovalty by those of any o th er tow n, and
th e consequence was th at the club sang
to a packed house a n d ,sp e n t a delightful
social hour after the concert ch attin g
with its Ashland adm irers and listening
to th e ir words o f welcome. Sunday
m orning the club sang the anthem , “ One
Sw eetly Solem n T h o u g h t” in th e Presby­
terian church, and in the afternoon, hade
farewell to Southern Oregon and its
genial citizens to tak e up once m ore the
W hite M an’s Burden in the U niversity.
A lthough it may be some tim e before
the club will again visit Southern O re­
gon it knows it will always be welcome
to this garden spot of our state, for the a p ­
preciation which th e citizens expressed
o f the sterlin g m anhood of the m em bers
o f th e club, and th e ir fervent wishes of
God-speed to O regon’s greut educational
institution showed clearly th eir interest
in th e work our University is striving
to do.

“ I am not m uch o f a m ath em atician ,”
said a cigarette, “ but I can add to m an’s
nervous troubles; I can subtract from
his physical energy; I can m ultiply his
aches and pains, and I can divide his
m ental powers; I can take interest in his
work, and discount his chance of suc­
cess.”
“ I ’in g la d ,” said th e wounded mail, ns
the doctor tu rn ed on the X -ray, “ th at
you see it in th at lig h t.”
Au optim ist is a man who is happy
