No program for the spring activities
has been more pretentious in the his
tory of the state university than is
the one outlined for the coming four
months by Graduate Manager Zednick.
Trips to Madison, Wis, for the crew, to
q Berkeley and Portland for the track
team, to Oregon and eastern Washing
ton for the baseball team, together
with fully as many athletic contests
on the varsity campus, are among the
managers ambitious projects.
Added to these major sports are the
al-state interscholastic track meet,
wherein all the high schools from over
the commonwealth through their dis
olcCt representatives will take part; the
production of the light opera ''Mikado"
BY the combined musical choruses at
an outlay of $500; the triangular de-
hates, the triangular oratorical contest,
the womens Intercollegiate debate with
Oregon; and the arranging of the foot
ball schedule for next year.
Rowing at the state university Will
be at its height this spring, in spite of
the adverse action of Stanford and
California. The proposed race with the
Badgers on Lake Mendoza on June 10
is the only intercollegiate contest on
its schedule, but there will also be
clashes with Vancouver and Victoria
eghts, with the Stanford and possibly
Lake Washington; and it is possible
that O. A. c. may be, brought north in
its first rowing match with the insti-
tuition.
Whether the crew will make the
journey to Wisconsin depends now on
two factors; on the action of the Card
mai Athletic council, meeting tomorrow
and on the support vouchsafed the trip
by the Washington student body. There
IS little doubt in the minds of Coach
'onbear and Manager Zednick that the
wisconsin board will allow the Wash
hgton crew the race on Lake Mendoza,
providing the latter pays it's own eX-
penses.
Following the receipt of a favorable
telegram from Ten Eyck tomorrow,
the matter will be at once brought be-
iore the student body at a monster
student assembly by President Edwin
D. Brown. At that time prominent al
o'hnl from down town, enthusiastic
student supporters and members of the
'aculty will speak in favor of the trip,

test, he will be credited as $50 of ? sec
ond faster than Kelly and Rector.
Donaldsons time for 200 yards is the
fastest, save for two performances and
both are old. George Seward ran the
distance in London, March %, 1S47, in
1912, or 3-S of a second faster than
Donaldson. Seward was a professional
E. H. Polling, an English amateur, ne
gotiated the distance in 10 As, or 3-10
Of a second faster than Donaldson
September 2S, 1889.
Donaldsons 400-yard time is not az
fast as that of w. c. Downs, who ran
in 43 fiat, July 9, 1899, in Boston, or
Lon Myers, who did it in 43 SIS on a
circular track in New York, June 3, 49,
H. c. Tindall in London, June 20, 1889,
ran the four centuries in 40 3-5. These
men were amateurs.
Donaldson's time for 900 is not phe-
nomenal, although the best in recent
years. T. E. Burke ran it in Ill in New
York, September 10, 1896; Lon Myers
did it in 1112-5 in the same city on
July 1, 1882; W. c. Downs ran the
distance in Ill As nj New York, May
II, 1890: and E. c. Bredin, an English
man, on September "a, 1892. equaled
Downs time Another Englishman, E.
H. Montague, ran the 500 in Ill, the
worlds record, which he holds with
Burke.
Donaldson's time for 120 yards is a
worlds record if accepted. George Sew
ard and B. J. Wefers come nearest to
his mark, running in HAS, seconds,
$3.50 of a second slower. Seward made
his time in London, May 8, 1S47, and
Wefers equaled it September 26, 1896
1t is probable that Donaldson's re-
puted achievements will be submitted
to a rigid investigation and if he ran
down hill or was helped by a wind
beat the pistol in, or if the time was
not verified, his performances will not
be accepted

racehorses cut quite a figure in the

these on the schedule is the Lincoln

The city and suburban shows a fall

string of nominations for the race in
years, but the lack of quality is more
than counterba anced by the entry of
King Edwards derby winner Minoru
Owing to his good work over the
ground last May, Minoru is sure to
be high in the handicap. A prospect

Some remarkable stories are told
about J. Donaldson, the latest sprint
ing marvel, who halls from Victoria
Cane Colony, and if the South African
lives up to his reputation, he prom
ises to set the athletic world by the
ears
Donaldson is credited with a cen
turv in 1916 seconds, 200 yards IN
1878 seconds, 400 yards in A 3-5 sec
onds, and 900 yards in one minute y 1-5
seconds, while he has a 120yard record
of IL 5-16.
In this country runners and sprint
ers are caught in fifths of seconds, and
these records in siXteenths are not Ia
miliar. Neither are they in England
where the suggestion has been put
forth, in the absence of positive lntor-
nation, that Donaldson may have been
timed by an electrical device.
While these records of Donaldson
are wonderful, if true, but one, the
1916 for 100 yards, is better than the
fastest time for this distance. the
others are all below the standards.
The accepted figure for the 100 yards
is 9 3-5 seconds, made by Dan j. Kelly
on June 26, 1906, at Spokane, and by
Jimmy Rector at Charlottesville, Va

Wall Street Now Attempting to
Fathom Cause of Continued Slump
Which Is General.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The gener-
ally heavy tone Of today's stock mar
ket was due to neglect as much as
to any active selling pressure. To-
DAVIS demonstration invaded a new
field and brought suggs stions of meas
ures of resentment against the push
ing enterprise of newer figure IN
the railroad world. The effect on the
general level of prices was not very
marked. but the influence on the
speculative tone was again hopeful
ness. The most notable example OF
defation was in the interborough met
ropolitan stocks The whole of the
ocal traction group suffered in SYM
Dathy. Third Avenue sold at 10 IA
the lowest price in its history. The
addition speculative purging, the ne
ccsity for which was thus disclosed
helps to account for the repression
of the speculation.
Conjecture continued busy never
tbeless with attempts to fathom the
more general causes lying back o
the heavy decline in prices. The IA
in prices of iron is cited along witr
the fact of some countermanding OF

it objected to the trip, and accordingly
the three institutions may clash at Eu-

way of track conditions, but that seems
to have cut no figure with the Oregon
