TRACK MEET IN DOUBT.
Oregon Will Not Send a Team to
Compete.

Word was received by Manager Han
son of the Whitman college track team
this morning from the manager of the
University of Washington team indi-
Gates that the WebfoOt boys have fully
decided that they will not take part
in the big track meet to be held here
in May. They go down to California
to meet Berkeley and this two weeks
trip is all the faculty want to allow
them. This news together with the
probability that the Oregon university
and Agricultural college will not take
part makes the success of the big meet
more questionable than it has appear
ed heretofore. Pullman wants to come
down here for a dual meet in May and
Whitman goes up to Moscow on May
9th.

to Walla Walla for the Mulln- Muller
go Thursday night. A letter was re-
ceived from Jimmy Collins of the Spo-
kane Press stating that number OF
Spokane sports would be here to see
the bout.
Both Mullin and Muller are we'll
within the weight limit of 13S pounds
for Thursday nights go and tomorrow
will be the last hard days work for
the men. Mullin took, a tramp out to
the state line this morning taking off
couple of pounds. Both men have
trained cOnscientously for the bout and
barring any accident will enter the ring
in fine condition. 1t is rather a fine
task for local sports to pick a prob
able winner. Both men have met the
best of their weights in the country and
in the matter of height and reach
neither has the advantage. While Null
lin may be considered the speedier of
the two Muller has reputation of be-
ing the harder hitter.
