several championship teams again
this year.
with a record of two first places,
tie for second, one third and one
fourth place in the conference events
of the past year, and most of the old
men back. with some excellent new
material promised to fill the gaps
made by commencement. the hearts
of the athletic director and his assist
ants are by no means downcast.
A review of the year just gone
shows o. A. C.'s record to be as fol-
lows: Basketball, championship;
wrestling. championship; football,
tied with L. of O. for second place;
track. third; and baseball, fourth.

ington Aggies third. Whitman fourth,
and Idaho fifth. In basketball, o.

1t looks as though the Beaver foot
| ball team will better its record this
year Though Reynolds, May and
Endberg are all lost through gradua-
! ton, E. H. Hauser, the crack half
back of the Carlisle Indians of two
seasons, is coming over from the ST.
letz reservation, and half dozen
other men of Drawn and considerable
experience in secondary and collegiate
gridiron work will also rally around
the orange and black pennant, filling
the vacaacies. They will have to
| fight some of the second team men
of last year for position. however, for
there was good material among the
scrubs.
In basketball the outlook is also
excellent. The proposed eastern trip
via San Francisco, Denver. Nebraska
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, to-
gether with the regular conference
schedule and the preliminary games
will give this institution the longest
basketball season of any of the col
leges. with ample opportunity for de-
velopment of individual and team
work Cate, May and Mcfarland are
all lost by graduation. but Matson
is to return for graduate study, and
the big Idaho man ineligible last year
because he had played the year be-
fore in a conference college, Will be
on the floor, and is considered as good
man as was in last years five. A
new man standing feet four inches
with good experience will in all like
lihood fill Gates place at center.
Capt Rieben is gOue from the dia-
mond but there are several men III
line for his place ana all the rest oi
the old guard will be in the field, Not
single conference point winner is
gone from the track bunch. and with
such men as Williams, Baker and

place in a number of events, o. A. G
has a fine basis for better track
record for 1913. The wrestling team
is without a single vacancy, and, as
always, there will be new competitors
for the honor of defending the cham
pionship.
