Its teams won Over OAC at Eugene by a 2 to 1 vote and over Willamette university at Salem by a unanimous decision. At Cor vallii the OAC team defeated' the Willamette team 2 to 1. The question debated was "Re solved. That France should im mediately evacuate tne Ruhr." The victorious teams at Eugene and Corvallis had the affirmative side of the question: In Salem the victorious team was the nega tive, j Thei Willamette debaters on the home team were N'adie Strayer, of Baker, and Elaine Clower of Boise, and their state university oppon ents were Margaret Woodson and Dorothy Abbott. The judges of th9 home debate were William F. Wood word of Portland,- Justice John McCourt and . Justice O. P. Coshow of the supreme court. Judges and others who heard the debate declare the unanimous de cision by no means should be taken as indicating a one-sided debate. It is said the contest was very close, and showed remarkable re search and training by all the par ticipants, with the weight of ex perience slightly on the side of the visiting team. Neither of the girls on the Willamette team had ever before appeared in ah inter collegiate debate. : The Willamette team at Corval Hs was Elaine Oberg of Portland and Esther Moyer of Roseburg. , Harold Eakin presided at the home debate, which was -held in Waller hall.

White, presi dent, to attend the meeting in Al bany today for the purpose of dis- obtain a community house . in which amusement and recreation may be found, she said. R. It. Ryan Regulation regard ing the placing of visitors on the grounds is . needed. The lack of adequate signs directing the vis itors to the grounds was stressed, as was the importance of making the people find a temporary home in the camp grounds. Homer Smith, chairman of the park board Lack of funds is the greatest handicap and the board should be allowed to use profits in making improvements, without resorting to taxation. High water presents a serious problem when permanent improvements are to be made. One of the best moves was the purchase of tent houes and more should be added. Mr. Smith declared that the articles in the papers were not warranted. Walter Low, street commission er Believed Mr. Stolz' plans feas ible, but the greatest trouble with the, creek lies in, the ditches itt the I upper portion of the city. Gravel! from these is washed into the park grounds and deposited just above the bridge on Winter as well as other bridges. The city can well afford to fix the grounds every year, if necessary. He emphasiz ed the importance of propeV feign ing, calling attention that this summer some .unpleasantness will greet the tourist as several of the streets leading to the camp ground will be blockefl during paving op erations. ..

The campwa3 characterized by the speaker as "a lovely place but in wretched con dition." This, he said, , was a month before printed stortes were circulated. Some of the state ments regarding the camp grounds accredited to him were over-stated in some ways and under-stated in other places, he said. In closing, Mr. Gahsldorf said. "The tourist is a good dog but he growled be fore the papers spilled the beans. The tourists are even now on their way. Don't lost another day. Get busy." . . Otto Paulus Twenty per cent more tourist cars will be on the road at the end of 1924 than there are at present, allowing for junk ing a certain percentage.
