Jan. II. (Special.) Klncald Field, the
scene of many famous gridiron batt!ea
and tra k meets. Is soon to be aban
doned If the present plans of tha univer
sity administration are materialised.
This ear's budget Includes a request lor
I!0. 000 to cover the expene-ra of moving
the athletic field to a larger site south
east of the present location. The pres
ent athletic field property Is considered
valuable for building purposes and In
case the appropriation bill now b-foi e
trm Legislature passes, a large admlule
tration building will be erected upon the
present site of Klncald Field. It will take
Severn! years to accomplish thla change
but surveys are already under way.
The university cl.uwes In topoitraplilcnl
surveying have prepared a plat of the con
toura on the new site to be use by tho
Hoard of Regents In planning the new
campus arrangement
The new field will be larr enough
for a football gridiron, several baseball
diamonds, a miming track, tennis count
and other outJ'Kr sports. It la proposed
to construct a double system of grand
stands to provide convenience both for
football and baseball enthusiasts.
The old Klncald Field derived Its name
from the former owner of the property,
ex-Secretary of State If. It. Klncald. At
tempts have been made to chanige the
name to McArthur Field or Friendly
Field In honor of C. N. McArthur. a
prominent Oregon "grnd." and Samson
H. Friendly, a member of the Board of
Keaents. and it Is possible that a change
In the location of the field will serve as
a new Impetus to the latent movement.
Thus far the Regents have held
steadfastly to the policy of refusing to
name any university building or alia
alter any person yet living.

The open swimming contest for the
Elwood Wiles trophy Is attracting
considerable Interest, for more than 20

Cavtll, swimming Instructor of the
Multnomah Club, who Is attending: to
the details of the competition.
The distance of the swim will be too

date all, entries will be received up to
midnight. February 14, and all swlm-
mors entering are required to swim
the distance before Cavlll In order
that proper handicaps may be made.
This Is being done tn order to Insure
all swimmers, good or bad. of a chance
for the trophy.
The swim Is being held for the pur
pose of developing swimming and to
Interest all Portland swimmers In tha
aquatic tournament to be held In
Portland during the coming Summer.

structor Cavlll, and In order to assure
all competitors against possible "ring
ers." any swimmer deviating three
seconds from his trial time In the con
tent for the trophy will be disqualified

This Is believed to be the best means
of preventing any entry from gaining
an unfair advantage by making slow
time at his trial swim and then show

TEBS GET COUGARS
KILLING OP NTXE SAVES AT
LEAST 500 DEER.
A. J. Wlntrr and Orrln J. Thomp
son Successful Bounty. Law
Has Disadvantages.
At least 60 deer hnve'been preserved
to Oregon throuRh the killing of n!ne
cougars by A. J. Winters, Orrln Thomp
son and a party of hunters who returned
to Portland yesterday from a two weeks'
hunt In the wilds of Douglas County.
It Is estimated that every cougar In
the state causes the death of at least
50 deer durlnic the year. Some expert
hunters maintain that a blar coiifrar or
mountain lion will destroy as many as
1) deer In a simile year. The estimate
that the lives of &r deer have been saved
through the killing of nine of these wild
beasts Is rtg.irdM as conservative.
The trip of Winters and Thompson
was undertaken for the purpose of kill
ing off as many cougars as possible In
two weeks, and they returned bringing
nine skins as trophies. Seven cougars
were killed last Friday nlffht and Sat
urday morning, and the other wo, and
largest, were killed the preceding Hon
da v.
The huntsmen have already sold the
largest skins, one of which measures S
feet 7 Inches In length, and the other
almost S feL By disposing of these
two skins for mount'ng. the hunters are
deprived of the state bounty of flO a
piece, because the present bounty laws
rviilre the cutting off of a fore paw.
This Is one of the provisions of the
Oregon game laws to which hunters ob
ject. Skins so mutilated are of little
value In the market. Because of the
destructive propensities of these beasts,
the sportsmen contend that any one Kill
ing a cougar or mountain Hon should
receive both bounty and profit from sell
ing the skin. Some believe that the
bounty should bn Increased.
