TO MEET SATURDAY.

TO MEET SATURDAY.
Athletes of two Colleges-O.A. G and
State University.
2 Next Saturday afternoon will be
a day of deep interest to the stu
dents of two of Oregon's biggest
educational institutions. 1t will
also interest lovers of amateur ath-
1etics all over Oregon and the
Northwest. 1t is the date for the
track and field meet between the
teams of OAC and the state univer-
sity. 1t has been made more inter
esting by the overwhelming defeats
OAC men have administered to all
teams they have met this season.
These victories have given the OAC
track team the best reputation it
has ever enjoyed. The state uni
versity has always been victor in
recent years, and the. appearance of
a team that promises to give the
university players a hard struggle
makes the occasion of double inter-
est. Concerning the meet the Ore
gonian of Monday has the follow
ing
What promises to be one of the
most interesting athletic events Of
the year will be the dual field meet
between the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural Col
1ege, which is scheduled for next
Saturday afternoon at Corvallis.
AS there is no end of fiendly ri
valry between these institutions,
and as the teams are evenly match
ed, the contest will doubtless prove
interesting. If the athletes are in
good trim and the weather is fair,
it is not unlikely that some state
or Northwest record will be smash
ed, for there are some speedy men
on the contesting teams. W. Q.
Trine, who trained the victorious
team of the State Varsity for five
years, has been with the Agricu1t
ural College since April I, and the
results of the meets already held
show that he has strong team in
the field.
In the early meets Of the season
the Corvallis aggregation won from
Dallas and McMinnvil1e Colleges
by. overwhelming scores. Then
me the contest with the Pacific
iversity, which the ''Agrics'
also won, the score being 80 to 46.
These meets have seasoned tie
Agricultural College men, and have
put them on their mettle for the
championship meet with the State
University team, the strength of
which is mere matter of conjec-
ture. The varsity men have held
no meets this year and when they
appear at Corvallis next Saturday,
many of them will be representing
their college for the first time.
There are a few seasoned men ON
the Eugene team, however, and
it is safe to say IL at Trainer Ray
viii have the whole bunch in good
condition. The varsity team as a
whole is probably more experienced
than the "farmer" aggregatiog, al
though the latter is more advanced |
in the work at the present season
The Agricultural College men will
have. considerable advantage in h,1-
ding the meet on their own
grounds, and they will also out !
number their opponents, whose
supply of ath1etic1 material. is.
small in comparison with that on !
hand at Corvallis. It is not un-
likely that both trainers. will have
some s'surprises' to spring.
In Moores and Williams the Ag-
ricultura1 College has two very fast !,
sprinters, while the University will |
be well represented by Payne, Hen
derson and Lewis. The last nam
ed, according to reports from Eu-
gene, has been off color this year.
so Henderson and Payne are Ore
CONS surest men in the sprints.
Payne is also a swift middle-dis-
tance runner, aud Policy, the miller,
viii no doubt show clean pair of
heels to the held. Jackson, who
has put the shot SO feet q inches for
the Agrics is reasonably sure of /
first place, and Mckinney, the
Varsity freshman. has thrown the
discus 1o2 feet which is FIVE feet
further than Abraham of Corva1'
wallis has thrown.
The hammer throwing aud hurd-
les are looked upon as Corvallis
events, but the sprints and jumps
are doubtful, as both teams have
good men in the entry lists.
