Tomorrow the O. A. G. athletes
a host of enthusiastic students, and
numerous admiring citizens will
take the special train over the C. &
E. for Salem, where the sixth an
nual field meet of the I. A. A. O.
will be held to decide which college
in Oregon shall hold the champion
ship for the coming year.
U. Of o. has held this title for
the past two years, and should she
be successful on this occasion, the
championship cup becomes her per-
manent property. But the stall
wart sons Of old O. A. c. are the
slip between this cup and the uni
versity lip. Many of the team who
helped the orange to carry off the
honors in '97, will battle for it to-
morrow. The struggle will be a
magnificent one, with U. of o. and
O A G the central figures.
Ray Goodrich will represent the
agricultural college at meeting to
be held at Salem tonight, to decide
the eligibility of the various entries
and other business. A telegram from
Eugene to Portland paper states
that it is reported that some pro-
tests will be entered by o A c.
We have been unable t., ascertain
anything in support of this state
ment. It is to be hoped that each
institution will be permitted to en-
ter its team and let this be con-
test of Drawn and not one of
shrewdness and diplomacy. While
like professionalism is to
be deprecated in these games. still |
a tendency toward barring legiti-
mate representatives of these great
institutions for trivial and technical
simply to gain advantage,
IS unsportsmanlike, and should
not be encouraged.
The 'sOregon Weekly" the official
paper of the student body of U of
} has this to say Of the outlook:
The race for the championship
,up will probably narrow down to a
;lose struggle between o A.C and
j of O. From present indications
he chances are about even. Will
annette University and Pacific Col
ege will both be well represented,
,ut it is not thought that either Of
hese teams can cope successfully
With those of Eugene and Corvallis.
sanders will no doubt win in the
hot put, while Beatty ought to
AIRY off first honors in the bicycle
ace. Heater, p G, will win the
'ault and in the hurdles stands an
qual chance with Palmer, o A G,
md Williams, U O. Buckingham,
" U, and Knox, U o, are the best
nen in the high jump, while Smith
md Heater have tied each others
ecords in the broad jump. Bur-
,augh, o A G, has thrown the
lammer over 100 feet in practice
md Smith has a record of 125 feet
inches. The contest between
hese two men will be keen one.
The greatest sport of the
lay will no doubt be in the five
uns. Bishop, U of o, and Colvig,
A G, will do the best work in the
hort sprints, while Redmond; U of
}, and Redd, o A c., are evenly
Matched in the quarter.
The half mile promises to be one
the best events of the day. Bur-
ett, 0 A c, Kenworthy, P G, and
'ayne, U of o, are picked as the
trio, but it is difficult to
ay in..what order they will finish.
o A G, ought to win the
nile, but both Wilkins, w U, and
'ayne will crowd him closely; al
hough Simpsons record is 4:50. l
huffman, O A G, will win the walk,

i the state. =
