COLLEGE IS VICTOR.
Over University in Field and Track ty
Decisive Score-Reoords
. Smashed.

Ia SuiGSnLu>
The annual meet on field and
track between OAC and U. of o.
teams Saturday resulted in de-
cisive defeat for the University.
The score was 78 to A. and with
the contest repeated, with the same
men pitted against each other the
figure would be slightly heavier
for the victors. A fall by Cathey
in the hurdles when he was winning
second place cost the Aggies three
points, and in another instance or.
two the best strength of the OAC
men did not appear on account of
| uishap.
As was expected records went
glimmering in some of the events.
Greenhaw smashed the Northwest
record in the half, making the dis
tance in 2:o2 Is. The 0AC relay
team lowered the Northwest record
in the mile relay to 1888. The
time can be reduced by the same
team several seconds whenever the
occasion requires. In Saturdays S
relay Greenhaw ran his quarter
mile in 81 seconds, which is one
fifth OF a second better than the
Oregon record in that event. In
the same event, Williams who had
the last quarter to run, started out
to catch Eugene's third man and
make mile while the Eugene run
ners should make three quarters.
1t was an impossible feat, however
and Floyd slackened his pace some
what in the last stretch, but even
as it was his time for his lap was
81 1-2. The other two men in the
relay team were Smithson and
Beach.
The University team took but
three first places. Hug got frsts
in the hammer and shot, and Miller
a first in the high jump. In the
quarter Williams, Beach and Green
haw shut the visitors out alto.
gether, but a third place was allow
ed them on a claim that Greenhaw
fou1ed their man. Swami was an
easy winner for first place in the
pole vault clearing the pole with
ease at every first trial and giving
his friends confidence that he will
take the same place at the state
meet.

Shepard surprised his best friends
by tossing the metal Io8 feet and
! FIVE inches, rendering il almost
certain that OAC will get two
/ places in the event in the slate
meet at Salem. Dow Walker in
an exhibition throw sent she ham,
mer I26 1-2 feet, and Hug Of U.
of o. in similar effort threw the
hammer 128 feet seven inches. The
contest for supremacy in this event
at Salem will be watched with in
terest all over the Northwest. for

a trio of the best men in the event
in the Northwest, the other being
Mcdonald of Washington.
| In the sprints, Smithson and
Williams were not pushed enough
to make the lowering of records
necessary, or it would have been
done. Smithson ran the low hur-
dies within a fifth of a second O.
the Northwest record, two watches
having actually caught the time as
tying the Northwest record in thai
event.
Woodcock and Graham were out
of the OAC team and Friessel ano
Henderson out of the Eugene team.
Friessell, the Nevada immigrant,
] did not participate. In was in
/ fact definitely and amicab1y undei
stood between Manager Stimsor
and Manager Whitt1esey that he
was not eligible and was not tc
take part. The case was exactly
the same as that of Cathey who
was kept out of the OAC team two
years ago by Eugene on the same
: claim Of ineligibility.
The experts, Director Trine
among them, have an accurate line
on the question of what value Fries
, sell would have been to the Univer-
sity in the meet. They figure i
out that with the Nevadian parti
clpating, the score would have beer
70 to 81. This is the way they dc
it. In the 100 and 22o, Friesse
would have taken third places. But
as it was, Moores of Eugene took
them, SO there would have been
nothing gained there. In the broad
jump, Friessel might have taker
first. AS it was, OAC got six and
| u. of O. three in that event. Con
ceding Friesse1 first, the result
would have been, OAC, Z; u. of O.
