Willamette University, a noints: Pacific University. 17: Universi ty of Oregon. Oregon Agri cultural College, 82 points, is the unadorned tale 01 the mter-col-legiate field meet Saturday at Salem. A chapter devoted to the performances of O. A. C. miprht consistently be profusely embel lished with "ifs," but thev are not permitted in the story that goes into history for future gen erationsto consult. Furthermore, Eugene requires ali the available "its" to make a presentable stdrv of her part in the meet, and in the lieht of success we certain! v can afford to present our stock of excuses to the Eugene correspon dents ana those Portland papers which have so oresistentlv and unjustly belittled the athletic pretentions ot O. A. C. it was unfortunate that so manv of U. of O.'s best men were out of form. Hug, for example, was so ill that in the weight events and the discus he was able to take first places only. But other U. 01 O. men came to the rescue by taking second places in the weights, thus in a measure, com pensating for Mr. Hug's failure to take both first and second. It was evident to U. ot O. the day before the meet that her best men would not be able to do the work on which she based her hope of success. She could not realize on Frissell, the eilded vellow brick imported from Nevada, hp- cause he had a "lacerated' ' muscle. and would not, therefore, in all probability, be able to take first and second places in the dashes, hurdles, broad and hieh lumps. Then it was decided that for a few first places the management could not afford to "lacerate" the tinsel of their treasure, and he therefore did not enter any of, the events except the broad jump, in which he made merely an exhibi tion effort. Henderson. U. of O.. was slated to take third and fourth places in the events in which Fris sell was to have first and second, but he also was unfortunate in having a sprained ankle, and could not do the work assigned him in the earlier calculations. This was the first meet 'of the Inter-Collegiate Amateur Athletic Association of Oregon, since 1898. The trophy to be awarded the successful college team was a handsome silver cup, and it has been added : to the large collec tion of other trophies at O. A. C. However, in order to retain it permanently a college must win in three successive seasons. Med als were also awarded to thosp taking first and second places in eacn event, ut these, O. A. & secured fifteen. In this meet all of the old I. A. A. A. records were broken, excepting three, name ly the high jump (5 feet 8 inches), held by Buck ingham, O. U.; the shotput (41 feet a inches), held by Sanders, W. U., and the hammer throw (116 feet 1 inch),' held by Smith,' U. of O. A new Northwest record was made by Greenhaw, of O. A. C, in the half mile, having gone the distance in 1:58 as against the previous record of 2:03 held by Edmunson of Idaho. This was a remarkable event of the meet. Both Greenhaw and Pe terson of P. U. were know to be fast and that the Northwest rec ord was likely, to be broken, but which of the two was the faster it was difficult to predict. In the test they ran toeether. leavin? other contestants in the rear. As they came into the last hundred yard stretch. Peterson essayed. a spurt but he was "all in." Green haw thereupon lined out sbod and strong and it was apparent that he was master of the situation. The O. A. C. boy had the race in his sleeve through the last quarter, and could easily have beaten the time recorded. Moores, U. of O., lowered the Northwest record in the 220 hurdle, when he won in 35 and 3-5 seconds against the Drevious record of 25 and 4-5 second, held Dy uoates. Gates, of P. U.. proved him- selt a exeat runner in thp tnilp when he made the distance in 4:41 4-5, with Devolt a close second. A notable fact is that Ssith. son,, Q. A. C, in -the 22olasb, lowered the world's professional record of 21 and 4-5 seconds, held by Hutchens, and came within one-fifth of a second 01 tieing the world's amateur record of 21 and one fifth seconds hiA by Wefers. ' Since the events did not occur on a regulation four-lap track, me extent to which the records will stand. exceDt as to the T A A Am is in doubt.. This condition is unfortunate, but it is deemed cer tain that O. A. C's record-breakers in this meet can and will do as well on a regulation track. ihesammary of events follows: 100-yard dash Smithson OAC: Wil liams, OAC; Moores, U of O; (Jrabaro, OAC; time, 10 2 5.
