Owing to the. shortness of this y ear's Interscholastlc basketball schedule, caused by the division of the leasue Into two parts, the faculty athletic di rectors at Jefferson High School, head, ed by Principal liopkln Jenkins, R. J. Smith. Air. Quleity and Coach Homer Jamison: have arranged an Interclass basketball tournament which will take up the month of March. As It will be several weeks before baseball will get well under way, there is a dearth of sporting activities at all of the schools this month. There will be IS teams entered in the Interclass league and over 100 students will derive benefit from the healthful game of basketball. Basketball is one of the best developing sports played and will give many of the students a chance to get some real exercise that they otherwise would be unable to get. Doable Schedule Arranged. A schedule on the same order aa this year's interscholastic league ached ule will be used and will be enlarged upon by having two teams for each class. The June cl&sses will play a schedule as will the February classes. and then tbe winners will play off the tie with a member of the other class. Each class will have two teams, one whose weight will not average over lis pounds and another whose weight will be unlimited. The games will con sist of la-minute halves.

Tomorrow night's meet between Oregon and O. A. C. in Hayward Hall will either establish tbe Aggies as undisputed intercollegiate wrestling champions of the Northwest or It will create a deadlock in which Oregon, O. A. C. and the University of Washington will be equal shareholders. The Corvallis grapplers have the upper hand on the dope sheet, for where they defeated Washington, the Eugene men lost by a narrow margin. Oregon must take three out of four events tomorrow night, however, if they are to pry the Aggies loose from the pennant, accord ing to Coach Shockley, who, after working with Howard, the 148-pounder. who replaced Grey early in the week for three days, this afternoon conceded that bout to the visitors. Howard will make the weight without difficulty, but he is soft from lack of work and is scheduled to go up against the best man in the Orange and Black line-up, Captain Strome. The real contest of the evening prom ises to be the exhibition staged be tween Palmer for O. A. C. and Flegel, who is substituting for Simola, Ore gon's regular 115-pounder. If Flegel can pin his man or get a decision he will open the way for a lemon-yellow victory, for Wilson and Captain Taylor, who scored two wins over Washington far the varsity, are slated as repeaters In this meet. Flegel, however, will be under the handicap of not having worked on the mat to any extent this year. He has been working out under Shockley for less than 10 days. Although Taylor and McLean, who will meet at 165 pounds, have both de feated the Washington man at that weight, followers of the sport here give the Oregon captain the edge. Since the Seattle meet three weeks ago he has shown decided improvement. developing speed that he did not ex hibit before. Th new leader is a senior In civil en gineering and prominent in activities. He la a member of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. BOWLERS LEAVE TOMORROW M. L. Kline Team to Represent Port land in Southern Tourney. The crack M. L.

The two teams battled to a 2-to-I tie at the Ice Palace two weegs ago and put up a fast, thrilling game. As the managers of the teams had announced that the public could skate from 9 to 11. the teams decided not to play for another score when the last period was up and to arrange a return game in stead to settle the Interscholastlc championship. As the result the high school teams secured the rink for to night and will do their best to settle once and for all which septet is the best on the Ice this year. Both of the teams will use the same lineup as the last game.
