THE INAUGURAL
A new cycle in the quadrennially
changing history of our country's
govern mental system was ushered in
yesterday, when William Taft was
formally inaugurated president of the
United States, to succeed Theodore
Eot s )velt.
The transfer of the reins of govern
ment from the hands of one to another,
will probrably have little or no
marked outward effect on the general
forward movement of the country's
economic development, for if the
Fates over selected a man qualified
in every respect to be the logical suc
cessor of Roosevelt, or if there were
ever a man fitted by his very nature
to continue the building upon the
foundation laid by Theodore Boose
velr, that man is William Howard
Taft.
The administration of Rooseveli
has not been so much an administra
tion of achievement as it has been one
of preparation. Roosevelt located
diseased places in the body of the gov
ernment; Taft will be called upon to
apply curative measures. Roosevelt
set in motion reforms ; Taft will have
the opportunity of currying them to
completion.
rue aiiminiatrauon oi rare, wnne it jt.
may lack the brilliant, mercurial
quality of Roosevelt's, will probably
sec few extremes either of prosperity
or depression, but the close of his
administration will also probably find
the most vexing of the many ques
tions that confront the nation today,
nearer solution than at any prev
ious time.
Constructive, progressive, yet conser
vative statesmanship, the quality
which Taft has proveu to be his prime
characteristic, is the ideal quality
of statesmanship required to make
use of the materials gathered by
Roosevelt during hi9 administration
and because of that, the people of the
United States should have reason to
feel that they chose wisely in select
ing Taft to take up the work where
Roosevelt laid it down.
After winning their last game in
Utah and passing into California, the
Oregons' basketball team opened its
California series with a victory over
Santa Cruz by a score of 32 to 13.
The Oregon team played easily dur
ing the first half, rolling up a score
of 11 to 6, but in the second half the
players limbered up and, striking
tneir cnaracteristic whirlwind pace,
gave the spectators one of the finest
exhibitions of team work and goal
throwing that they had ever witnessed.
The scoring among the members of
the visitors was divided as follows :
Fenton, six field goals ; Savery, three ;
K. 8haw, two; Morton, three; C. Shaw,
one; and ienton one from the foul
line.
In telegraphing the result of the
game, it. u. ieuton, the business
manager of the team, declared that
the Oregons expected to be able to
make a clean sweep in the state of
California. That statement seemed to
be borne out by the result of the game
against Watsonville, Wednesday
night, in which the Oregons easily
scored 5i to their opponents' 21.
The result was telegraphed to Dal
las by J. A. Lynch, who is now stay
ing in California for the benefit of his
health, and who, like all of the other
Dallas people whom the boys have
encountered on their tour, eagerly
grasped the opportunity of seeing
some of his Dallas friends and lend
ing bis support, as an enthusiastic
"rooter," to his home team, matched
against a strange aggregation on a
new floor.
The Oregons were scheduled to play
San Jose last night, tonight's date is
open and Saturday night thev will be
matched in San Francisco, against
the team winning the state champion
ship tournament which is beiug played
off in that city this week.
The Dallas five will reach this city
about Wednesday, if not delayed, and
W. E. Critchlow, the advance man,
has already made arrangements for
two games against the Multnomah
Athletic Club, champions of the Ore
gon Basketball League for this season
One game is to be played on the Port
land floor, Thurday, March 11 and the
second in Dallas, Saturday, March 13

COURT HOUSE NOTES
Provided no special session of the
legislature bo called, and no Immed
iate legislation enacted to oko out the
existence of Oregon's sorely beset nor
mal schools, even the most vital of
them will, so to spoak, have played
out its lino by the end of the present
sjmester. And it is just possible that
'this is a consummation devoutly to
bo wished" Htid the one thing that
will bring to a Una! solution tho great
educational problem ol tho state. For,
in addition to its preparing for the
legislature of 1911 a clean slate, two
years will bo given unto tho people of
Oregon to realize by experience the
actual importance of the normal
school in our educutioual system and
the loss of prestige Oregon will suffer
in the eyes of other stutos that have
taken real pride in the development
of elllcient systems of normal Bchools
the foundations on which modern
educational growth must needs rest.

The terms agreed upon as to the
disposal of the gate receipts are that
Dallas shall receive one-half of the
receipts from the game in Portland
and the Multnomah team shall receive
12J cents on the dollar from the gate
receipts at the game to be played here.
The difference in the allowance for
tho visiting team in tho two places was
based on the fact that the Dallas team
has always drawn larger crowds at
the games played on the local floor,
than the Multnomah team has drawn
in Portland, a largo city where rival
attractions tend to detract popular
interest from the basketball games.
Before the arrival of the Oregons
in Dallas, the college team will play
here in its second game against Wil
lamette University, Saturday night,
March 0. The first game against Wil
lamette in Salem resulted in a tie score
and the local five feels confident of its
ability to turn the victory in its favor
on the home floor.
Although it was badly handicapped
throughout the season by the absence
of Its strongest players, the Dallas
flvo has pluckily refused to withdraw
from the League, but has played out
its schedule iu the face of an almost
inevitable scries of defeats and has
proven itself one of the most formid
able opponents of the Multnomah
Club iu the race for the pennant.
It was generally thought that Dal
las would withdraw from the League
when it became evident thut it could
not hoe to retain the championship
this season and both the players and
the manager have received many
high compliments from other mem
bers of tho League, for their plucky
and thoroughly sportsmaulike stand
in the matter.
