STAEHLL Once again Columbia University col lects the track and field stars of Ore gon and part of Washington at Its eleventh annual open meet in the Coli seum this afternoon, but this Is one of the few times that the "dopeaters" can not figure out the names to put in the blank places on the programme before the meet takes place. Four colleges, the University of Ore gon, Oregon Agricultural uoiiege. Whitman College and Willamette Uni versity, and also the Multnomah Club, will enter their stars in the open events, while 20 high schools from Or egon and Southwestern Washington will take- part in the academic and open events. Several facts have combined ta make this meet one of revelation. Accidents, graduation and retirement on the part of some of the Multnomah athletes have made place for the younger strain and that element will- be in its hey day today. Baker's Injury In Blow. The latest bit of news adding to the uncertainties is the fact that Johnny Baker, Oregon Aggie sprinter, strained a tendon in practice on Tuesday after noon and has no hope of getting in his running clothes. Baker was picked as a winner for the 50-yard race without any opposition. Had Baker been in the race he would have had to try conclusions with Cohn. the Mult nomah Club 100-yard man. Cohn for merly did . that distance for the Uni versity of Michigan, and where there was doubt expressed the race was said to lie between Cohn and Baker. In fact, Cohn was being watched just as much as Baker. His college pedi gree shows times that will make trouble enough for any of them and would have made Baker get on his toes. The opposition to Cohn is the un known quantity today. Multnomah figures that his entry is Just so many points laid on the shelf. Another man who is expected to bear watching is Loucks, University of Oregon's new quarter-miler. LiOncks liifee Greyhound. Loucks stands six feet four inches and when In action has all the charac teristics of a greyhound. While his friend3 going around the track are working their hardest, Loucks lakes the lead and holds It with hardly ar-y exertion. A race may prove the "dope" all wrong, bat his opposing men in that distance are nevertheless discreetly confining- themselves to the policy cf "watchful waiting." The Oregon Agricultural College, which ran well ip In the programme of last year, expects victory by being able to land enough of the second and third place events to help what win ners it has in swinging the total. Multnomah's loss of Martin Hawkins and the sickness which has kept George Philbrook to his bed does not make the Winged M's chances the rosiest. So the big battle probably will be between the State University and the college. "Prep'' Schools Segregated. The meet again will be in the na ture of a big two-ring circus. The second ring will have the high schools and preparatory schools of Oregon and Southwestern Washington. Several ot the visitors sprung huge surprises last year. Columbia Univer sity's star carried the meet, with 28 points. Eugene was second, with S. Some of the Portland schools failed to make a. thing and had to nose in back of Astoria, Vancouver, Salem and others. All these will again be present and Portland's "prepers" are primed with the Idea of keeping the scores at home. And the out-of-town athletes are again in town with the idea of keep ing Portland s team as far down the column of points as possible. The squads which they are bringing would indicate that they have the de termination. The entry list to the eleventh annual meet has more than 200 names, 20 more than last year. The meet starts at 2 o'clock. Co lumbia University can be reached by the St. Johns car, which will have spe cial service for the day. Invents Given In Order.
