INFORMATION


Eugence, March 21.--Ralph D.
Moores, of Salem, is a member of the
University Of Oregon debating team,
which will meet the University OF
Washington team in Seattle on March
20. He and his colleague, Carlton
Spencer, Of Cottage Grove, will have
the negative side of the judicial Re-
CALI question.
On the same night another team
from the university will meet Stanford
in Eugene on the affirmative side Of
the same question.
Previous to this year 0regon's de-
batting teams have been extremely sue
cessful, and all indications point to a
continuation of good luck. A change
Of coaches has been made this year,
Leroy Johnson taking the place Of Gus
tave Buchen. who resigned to enter the
study Of law at the University Of Wis
consin.
Martin w. Hawkins, of the Unlver-
slty Of Oregon, will be among the com
peting athletes at the tryout for the
track and field teams which will rep
resent the United States at the COM
ing international meet at Stockholm.
This tryout will be held in San Fran
cisco on May Is, and all prominent
athletes on the Pacific coast expect to
be there. Hawkins speciality is the
hurdles, and he holds the coast record
in both high and low sticks" His
time in the 220-yard low hurdles is
25 2-5 seconds and in the 120-yard
high hurdles Is 2-5 seconds. Hawkins
has become so proficient in the high
hurdles that he is able to hold stor
watch, with his eyes closed, and in his
mind run his favorite race through
stopping the watch at exactly the
IS 2-5 mark. This demonstrates the
tremendous amount of training and
practice necessary to a record-break-
ing athlete OF Eawklns' type,
The students of the University Of
Oregon are mrch elated over the ac-
tion rece 'tly taken by tho stndcn;s Ui
the Oregon Agricultural college, re-
establishing athletic relations with the
university For some time past 1t has
been felt on the Oregon campus thai
the squabble that arose over the foot
ball game held at Corvallis nearly two
years ago should he forgotten, ant
the two schools enjoy the benefit
again of a wholesome athletic rivalry
The only obstacle in the way Of ;hiI
renewal OF athletic relations was thu
prohibiting resolution passed by thu
o. A. c. students in moment Of hast
right after the trouble. This beinl
done away with the institutions ar
back again on the old footing,
The only thing that remains to b
done is the arranging Of schedule
satisfactory to both institutions. TIL,
Oregon Agricultural College students
desire the scheduling of forensic con
tests and football game for the com
ing season, while the University stu
dents ask that the Agricultural Col
lege meet them in all lines Of sport
The only difficulty that may arise will
be- due to the fact that the Oregon
football schedule for next year Il
complete, and a special ruling Of tn,
faculty is necessary before addltlona
games can be scheduled, However
Manager Geary is in communication
with Whitman College in regard to tn,
possible cancellation Of the contrac
which the university has with that In
stitutIon. II the cancellation can b
brought about there will be no oh
stacle in the way OF signing a foot
ball contract with o. A. c. immediate
, ly as the oregon students are as anx
ious for game as is o. A. G.
