work in the worlds series with De-

wants the majority rule system,
while Washington does not.
Then there is the question OF
summer baseball. Some of the col
leges are willing that their men
should play in the summer games,
while others are not. The row be-
tween the oregon Agricultural COL
lege and the University of Oregon
is liable to be in evidence, and also
Oregon is inclined to ask the con-

game, with view to it's possible
introduction as conference sport.

1t is thought that he saw the high

he tried to avoid. He probably lost
his bearings completely afterward
and kept his machine in the air un-
