"n th v of a resumption of ath

versltr and Orecon Agricultural Col
Irjte. the banketball squabble precipi
tated by comparative ptandinas of the
two quintets at the end of the North
west college conference basketball
Reason promises to widen the breach
between the two Orron Institutions.
Instead of a possible basketball series
in celebrate the renewal of friendly
relations the Indications point to an
other year barren of athletic contests
hetween the athletic teams of the two
schools.
For the past few weeks interested
parties have been working; hard to
brlns; the student bodies of the two In
stitutions together. As the party tak
ing; the step abandoning athletic con
tests with a sister school. Oregon Aarrt
roltural College was expected to take
the Initiative In reneming athletic re
lations. The matter was agitated, a
mass meeting of the student body
railed for tonight, when It was ex
pected that a committee would be ap
pointed to oonfer with Oregon relative
to the ending of the quarrel.
Agarics Are Aaarrr.
But things have changed. The "Ag
gies." certain beyond a doubt that
they are entitled to the Northwest
conference basketball title, are wroth
at the action of Oregon In claiming
the championship on a technicality,
and there Is not much chance for peace
In college circles. Oregon Agricultural
t'ollege declined to schedule more con
tests with Oregon more than a year
ago. several Incidents leading the Cor
vallia students to take umbrage at
Oregon.
Not only does Oregon claim the con
ference title, but al.-o the more com
prehensive Northwest crown. The
Northwest championship Is based on the
two defeats suffered during the season,
against two conference losses and the
defeat at th bands of Gonsaga College.
Spokane, suffered by the "Aggies." The
conference title Is claimed by Oregon by
virtue of eight victories and two de
feats, against seven victories and two
defeats scored by Oregon Agricultural
College In games sanctioned by the
conference.
Oregon Agricultural College claims
the title on the. record of nine victories
and two defeats against conference
trams.
Argasseala la Oaf I let.
Arguments have been advanced by
both sides and more will be ready on a
moment's nolle during the nut ew
weeks. The Corrallls contingent "sr
cues thst Oregon Is trying to rob Ore
gon Agricultural College of a well
merited championship on a technicality
and accuse the Kugene people of poor
sr"rtsmanhlp. The Kugene men re
taliate by declaring that the Corvallls
five padded Its schedule with games
against wesk teams, long after the sea
son opened. In ordoc to fatten Its per
centage. Oregon contends that only games
ratified at th conference meeting last
Iecember count, and thst the "Aggies'
p a red two additional games, against
Idaho and Washington State College.

Oregon won eight games and lost two.
Irrifon Agricultural College won seven
p. lost two games ratified by the con
ference. As an example, the Oregon
ttempted to secure an extra game
Kith Washington on the recent trip.
M.h Manager Zednick of the Seattle
'nstitutton ststed could not count In
the percentage column as It was "not
-lifted by the conference, is cited by
Msnsgrr ear), of Oregon.
Preresrat la rrm.
Orejon Agrlcultursl College men say
thai there Is no rule or precedent pro
hibiting changes In dates or the sched
uling of extra games. They contend
thst lie conference meeting Is chiefly
to get together to arrange the majority
of the games, and point to the many
hangea. and particularly the cancel
lation of an Oregon game with Pullman
to prove that It is not Imperative that
the action taken In the conference
meeting be used In detail. As for the
barges of scheduling games. Athletic
Itirector Stewart eas that the Idaho
same In question was scheduled late
In January, weeks before the first con
ference game was played, and further
adds that no games sere scheduled
after the season commenced.
Ir. Steaart declared that Graduate
Manager Zednick. of Washington I'nl
vcrsity: Coach Bohler. of Washington
Slate College, and Coach Griffith, of
Idaho I'nlverslty. rave said that the
Oregon Agricultural College schedule
was valid. He expects to have the opin
ion of the conference members on the
matter Immediately so that the cham
pionship may be awarded.
Rale Are at Fault.
It would seem that the failure to have
a conference rule calling for a certain
number of games for each member of
the organisation Is responsible for the
mlxup. To permit one school to play
more games than another always paves
the way for trouble when the percent
age table Is resorted to to decide cham
pionships. If the "Aggies- are awarded
the title It will be because they were
lucky or far-sighted enough to play an
extra game. If Oregon Is bailed cham
pion It will be because Manager Geary
scheduled one more came than Oregon
Agricultural College at the conference
meeting.
Really the only way to decide the
controversy to the satisfaction of the
public Is to play a series between the
two schools.

"Oregon s claim to the conference
baeketball championship Is not one
which Oregon will not yield." said
.Manager (ieary. of Oregon, tonight. "It
all depends on when Corrallls signed
the extra games wltb'Idaho and Pull
man. If these games were scheduled
before the playing season for the
rhamplonehlp was begun, then we
have no better claim to the champion

playlntr season wss already on. then
Oregon must stand by Its claim for the
title as the scheduling would then be
only an attempt to Increase the av

"I do not like this means of de
termining a championship at best. The
entire controversy could be very easily
settled without any hard feeling; If
the two teams would meet In a series
of games. The teams are certainly
evenly matched and I do not believe
that comparative records can show
much difference In any event. . It would
surely settle everything If Corvallls

could be done easily now with both
teams still In shape."

Angel. Or.. March 17. (Special.) With
every game to the good the College
Juniors a week ago closed the most
successful season of basketball that this
department has witnessed since the In
troduction of the game here five years
ago. Their success was due to Indi
vidual speed and headwork. When the
team was organized and these qualities
were made to work In harmony with
others, the result was a perfect team.
"Speed, team and headwork" was their
motto.' How well they applied this Is
attested by their victories.
livery lad of the-- regulars filled his
place with a veteran"s skill, so that,
when a game was over they emerged
with colors afloat and were ready for
another. At times It was useless for
some of the big 160-pounders to strug
gle against the Impregnable defense of
these lads. Kroneberd at guard was
too much for the ordinary forward and
seldom permitted him to secure more
than a lone basket, while his colleague,
the big guard. Sullivan, would pounce
upon the ball at any angle and in an
ether second deliver It with a dribble
or send It whirling- back to a ready
forward. Ryan, the point winner, at
center, was king In every contest. With
eel-like form he would duck and skim
along, a foot from the tloor and score
points In quick succession. Captain
Gnos. with his quirk eye and a head
that leads, was a prime factor in secur
ing the honor that his team has won.
L.lttle Beck, the De-pound wonder, who
was too quick for his heavy guards,
would slip them with such ease and
speed that It was no great stunt of
his to annex as many as 10 baskets dur
ing a single game, llohman and Meyer,
whenever called on. filled their places
neatly.

Seattle. March 17. (Special.) In one
last grand effort to break up the rec

Washington football rooters. Wash
ington State College has taken up
Spring practice in the pigskin game
and Is going to give it the first thor
ough test ever made In the Northwest.
Coach Osthoff has written Manager
Zednick saying that an exhaustive
test of Spring practice will be made
and that If It proves successful It will
be firmly established at the Aggie
school. Osthoff saya:
"At Intervals before this. Northwest
colleges have announced. Spring prac
tice, but each time it has fallen
through with. This Spring every man
who wants to make the Pullman
varsity eleven In 1912 must turn out
for Spring practice, the same as he
would turn out for the Fall work.
"In fact, we are going to play foot
ball this Summer and except for lighter
scrimmage work, it will be Just as hard
football as ever a Winter game. I
have all my varsity eleven back and I
am starting In at once on giving and
receiving punts, "running with the ball
and learning how to tackle. I will put
my punters and drop kickers on the
lists at once and will attempt to make
this department the strongest on the
squad. If w-e cannot work the forward
pass Into a successful play with all this
time on our hands. I will give it up as
a bad Job."

T. Morris Dunne and the quintet of
Multnomah Athletic Club track men
returned Saturday from the Seattle
meet, much pleased with tne results
of the championship Indoor tourney
and elated over the prospects for a
huge northern representation at the
Pacific Northwest Association's out
door track and field championship on
Multnomah field on June 15.
"Not only will" Seattle and Van
couver send large delegations of ath

but a number of athletes from Wash
ington University will be on hand," re
ports Mr. Dunne. "The college men
will be eligible on June 1. which will
insure us a splendid representation
from all schools in the Northwest."
The championship meet will be held
on Saturday, the final day of the Rose
Festival. As an added feature. Mr.
Dunne expects to stage an inter
scholastic relay race.
A peculiar feature of the Seattle
meet was the crediting of Multnomah
Club with the six points scored by
May, who entered unattached. The of
ficials thought he was the Multnomah
Club May and did not discover their
error until the official figures had
been placed on the wire. The mistake
gave Portland six extra points, reduc
ing the total to 16, divided inti two
firsts for Bellah, one for Wolff and a
third for Wolff.
Overeagerness robbed Dart and Mey
ers of places in two events. Dart be
