ATHLETICS MAY BE
DROPPED AT OREGON
State University Proposes to
Abolish All IntercoIIeg- -iate
Contests.
FACULTY TAKES ACTION
Final Vote on Plan to Forbid Games
After Scholastic Year 1915-1916
to Be Taken in September.
Better Scholarship Is Idea.
EUGENE, Or., Juno 13. (Special.)
A step toward abolishing IntercoUegiate
athletics at the University of Oregon,
the same to go into effect a year from
now. If the resolution is adopted, -was
taken at a meeting of the university
faculty Saturday. The promotion of
scholarship and alsothe promotion of
a less intensified form of- intra-colle-giate
athletics for a greater number of
students, rather than a selected few. is
given as the occasion for the resolu
tion, which is proposed as follows:
'Whereas. The faculty, some years
since, passed, by a unanimous vote, a
resolution favoring the ultimate with
drawal of the university from inter
collegiate athletic contests, and
"Whereas, The interests of the uni
versity now imperatively demand such
a withdrawal, be it
Tear's Grace Given.
"Resolved, That, after the scholastic
year of 1915-16. the university shall
participate in no intercollegiate athletic
contests.
The resolution was introduced by Dr.
James D. Barnett. professor of political
science, and is scheduled to come be
fore the faculty for tinal action at the
first meeting in September.
The step follows agitation of a simi
lar issue of the University of Idaho and
the University of Washington, although
this is said to be the first definite step.
The opinion of members of the univer
sity faculty is that the other Northwest
Institutions will be asked to Join the
University of Oregon in making such a
ruling general among the conference
colleges.
Curtailment Said to. Be Sure.
If this complete removal of inter
collegiate athletics is not accomplished
at once, they say, it will probably re
sult in a compromise that will mark a
radical curtailment of the present inter
collegiate system. The arguments in
troduced by the supporters of the reso
lution are that the present system in
terferes with studies, and the removal
will eliminate the so-called "bleacher"
athlete who watches a small group of
highly trained men.
"It is mainly a move to Improve
scholarship," explains rr. -Barnett, "and
not only that, but the idea is to have
all the students take part in the ath
lete field. The objection is presented
that a great many are onlookers. It is
probable that athletics will be con
ducted as they were in the old-fashioned
colleges, where all took part, just
an is done at present in the interfrater
nity and interclass contests."
of Raymond at a banquet in his honor
last night. Representative Albert John
son, of the Third Cocgressional dis
trict, announced his intentions to advo
cate the passage of a bill which would
deny American citizenship to natural
ized Americans who take up arms for
a foreign country.
"In this time, when the nations of
Europe are at war," said Mr. Johnson,
"we of America cannot regard as fel
low citizens those who do not regard
American citizenship most highly. I be
lieve I shall seek support for a meas
ure that will forever keep out of this
country those alien -born Americans who
as reservists return to their native
shores for the purpose of bearing arms.
We bestow upon naturalized persons a
priceless boon, citizenship in the great
est country of the world. An alien tak
ing the oatb should be held to strict
account for its provisions."
Mr. Johnson further urged all Ameri
cans to support President Wilson In
his stand He criticised the increase
of the commission form of government,
which, be said, is shifting responsibility
from the people.

Government Calls Witnesses tm Tell
of the Movements of Jim George and
Pete Brown Previous to Murder.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or, June 13
(Special.) Most of testimony offered by
uie Government Saturday . in the trial
of Jim George, an Indian, accused of
the murder of Fete Brown, related to
movements of the defendant and Pete
Brown after they left a dancehall
and gambling grounds about daybreak
tne morning of February 22.
The principal feature of the test!
mony was evidence to the effect that
the two men followed the main Silver
Lake road for some distance and then
took a trail leading southward over the
hill. The tracks left! by the horses made
it possible to trace them. They had
not gone far until they stopped at an
other Indian's house and the defend
ant obtained whisky and drank some.
Later George was said to have joined
Brown on the trail and the tracks of
their two horses were the only ones
found in light snow, which fell that
morning. It was shown that after the
men joined company Brown rode on
the left side of George who rode in
the trail. Later George left the trail
to Brown and rode on the left side
of Brown. A short distance from the
point where they shifted positions the
body of Brown was foundi
The Government expects to rest its
case Monday night. About 15, wit
nesses were examined today, includ
ing J. L Beatty, missionary, and J. M.
