Arthur, who must spare enough time
from his duties as secretary OF the
republican state committee 10 serve as
graduate manager Of athletics in the
university. Mr.. Macarthur writes
commenting on the conditions, as fol-
lows.
College football will be in full swing
at the University of oregon and the
Oregon Agricultural college when the
institutions open their doors next
week.
The rivalry between these teams
dates back to the year 1894, wnen
football was first played in Oregon.
The Aggies won the championship
that year and again in 1897, but for
&c years afterward they never scored
a victory over their Oregon rivals.
To say that there will be keen riv-
airy between the two big schools dur

express the situation. Oregon will
make a hard fight to regain her lost
honors and Oregon Agricultural col
lege will struggle to maintain her
lead.
Each team will be coached by men
of national reputation. Forbes the

Gated on the coast
Both Owsley and Rockwell will
spend two weeks at Eugene. Besides
these famous Yale stars oregon will
send for n number OF her own veter-
ans at different stages Of the season.
Such men as Chandler, Latourettc.
Hug. McClam and Mckinley will re-
turn to assist the head coach when
ever their services are demanded. In
view OF these conditions the predic-
ton is freely made that oregon will
have the best coaching staff In the
northwest this year

cause and another. seven veterans Of

be on hand next Monday are Fred c.

Woods and Grout Giles, the big
freshman guard of 1906, will return
to college after a years absence and
will make strong bid for a line po-
s!tlon.
Game for Freshmen.
Oregon's greatest hope. however,
lies i'm her splendid supply OF fresh
man material and In the ability OF the
coaches TO whip the material into
shape. Assistant Coach Arnspiger
will devote his time to the freshmen
team, for which three games have
been scheduled, There will be two
early season matches with high school
elevens and on october 81 the fresh
men will try conclusions with the O,
A. c. freshmen at Corvallis. This will
be the first intercollegiate freshman
match ever played in the northwest,
and its outcome will be watched with
great interest Several of Oregon's
best freshmen will make the varsity
squad, but there will be enough good
men left for the baby team.
Among the most promising fresh-
men who will enter the university this
fall are Lester and Arthur Means of
ppudleton who are without uupetion
