tutionS

teaching changes lin the courses and
arrangement of study at the Univer-
sity OF oregon and Oregon Agricul-
tural College are planned by the
Board of Higher Curricula, of which
J. E. Hedges, of this city, is secretary,
and a meeting of the board, at
which this matter will be taken up,
has been called for Monday, August

Notice of this meeting was sent out
by the secretary, and provides for
consideration of the following prop
positions:

partment of electric engineering,

ricultural College and assign to the
University of Oregon the depart
ments OF (a) fine arts. including ar
chitecture and music, (b) economics,
rfc) commerce. higher; Cd education.
3s) the graduate school.
Determination to make these
changes was reached at a meeting of
the board held in Portland June IS,
at which were present ]. r Wilson,
chairman; J. z. Hedges. secretary;
C. ]. Smith and a. G. Beale. 1t was
the feeling of the members that since
the board had been organized to do
away with duplication of studies at
the two institutions. and to make, as
far as possible. each school complete
In Its special sphere, it would be bet
ter to segregate the different studies,
not only to that there should be no
duplication. but also that there might
be at each institution only students
working along the same general lines
AT present there is a civil engineer
ing course maintained at each school
Not only is this looked upon as un-
necessary duplication but it is felt that
The several lines of engineering ought

that better laboratory facilities might
be had. and so that the expense OF
the different courses might be shar-

"I have been. and am now, ex-

took occasion nearly a month ago to
say to a prominent member of the ad-

the framing of this bill that / thought
the minority members of the banking

put its stamp of approval on 1t.
"The request has not yet been
granted. The bill has been framed
, and repeatedly revised without any
minority member of congress having
an opportunity to inspect it. The
president as far back as June 19 in

the introduction taking the form of
a six inning game. The second team
vanquished the regulars by a score
of 10 to 8, both sides hitting well,
but the errors of the regulars turn
ing the tide against thern.s They led
until the fifth inning when the sec

hurled to the fence by Kirby, who
tried to field it.,
The leading batters were Doyle and
Burns, who has been doing well from
the start, flogged the bulb for two sin
giles and a slashing home run to the
centre field fence. His hitting did a
good deal to win for the second team.

PITTSBURGH FIGHTER WINS hfTir5-
DLEwEIGHT TITLE AFTER SEN

Paris, March GA new champion
was crowned here last night when
Frank Klaus of Pittsburgh was
awarded the decision over Billy Papks
of Kenawee, III, in the fifteenth round
of a scheduled twenty. round bout in
the Cirque de Paris
The bout was staged by the French
Federation of Boxing, Of which Paul
Rosseau is president, and Rosssau

fifteenth round he declared Klaus the
winner and announced the Pittsburgh
fighter as the winner Of the worlds
E1iddleweight title.
Papke was repeatedly warned by the
referee for breaches of the rules. In
most of the fifteen sessions he fouJed
his opponent and the warnings of the
referee went for naught. Klaus paid
a heavy attack for Papke's stomach
and invariably connected with terrific
body punches. He had all the better
of the milling Besides being the ag-
gressor from start to finish ne landed
the most telling and cleaner blows.
In the thirteenth fourteeath and
fifteenth rounds Pap1Se's tactics calIed
for rebukes. The referee warned him
that the bout would be stopped un-
less he abided by the rules. In the
fifteenth session, when the violation Of
the rules became too fragrant the
referee ordered Paplxe to his corner
and stopped the bout. He awarded
the decision to Klaus and with it the
championship belt.
There is no doubt that klaus viii be
hailed in this country as the middle
weight champion Of the world. Since
the death of Stanley Ketchel, middle
weight aspirants for the title have
been coming to the front IN large
numbers, but of the list of good men,

GREEN MAKING
HIT WITH BOSS
CHANCE AT CAMP
FORMER HoLYoKE PITCHER AND
HIS SPLITTER PRAISED BY YAM
KEE MANAGER.

Hamilton, Bermuda, March C.
Green, the pitcher secured from Hol-
yoke of the Eastern association, was
put through his PAGES by Frank
Chance yesterday and the youngster
showed the New York American man
ager lot of stuff. His size and
willingness to learn pleased Chance.
Malcolm Barry and John Priest
gave promise of exceptional ability,
and IT their days work is any cri-
terion of their latent possibilities, it
ts reasonably safe to predict that
these lads will be retained by Chance
for the coming season.
Barry proved the days sensation
by his fielding and hitting. He was
originally first baseman, but has
been assigned to sl1ortstop duty by
Chance.
Barry's capers around the short
field were little short of remarkable.
He was sure death to ground balls
and throttled a number of line drives.
He made his plays with the preci-
sion of q Honus Wagner. At the bat
he laced the ball every time the pitch
err served it anywhere within reach.
Priest has made a hit with Chance
by his playing of third base. The
Peerless Leader expects to develop
this fellow into a second Steinfe1dt.
Despite his bulk, Priest gets in on
hunts speedily and he throws to first
with bu1let-Hke speed.
Chance is pleased with the progress
made by Green and his splitter. Pad
dy'' showed some good control of his
delivery. Chance highly values a
steady pitcher.

Helm ROLLS $50 IN
3 GAMES AT TOLEDO

Toledo, March 6.-Severa1 bowlers
who are participating in two-man and
individual events, today, have good
starts toward big counts in the all
events class. Their work in the five
man squads, last night, indicates their
consistency in rolling. This is true OF
M. Drossman, of Detroit, who totalled
619 pins in his three games. e. Helm,
of the Hudson stars of Newark N. J.,
rolled $50 pins in his three games in
the hve-man teams. Other members
of the team also rolled high scores.
The two-man events began at 8:20
o'clock today with 16 squads Of dou-
bles from Van Vert, o., Deroit, ST.
Louis, Cleveland and Chicago. Johnny
voorhees,, former champion bowler, q
knember of the Bergmans of New
York, began shooting in the squad OF
doubles which will go on the alleys at
11:45 a. M A. L. Langtry, secretary
of the American Bowling Congress,
today received the handsome gold
medal which he annually gives to the
winner in the .a1l-events class. This
medal is a personal gift from Secre-
tary Langtry who declares he will
continue to give it until the congress
decides to include it in the official list
of prizes. The medal is valued at

WILL JOSE RIVERS AND TOMMY
COME TOGETHER FOR NEAR TITLE?

Ritchie for the title, even though he
has not met and defeated Jose Riv-
ers. Wolgast also proved that he is
far from being ''a11 I'M as has been
reported, but it was also evident that
while he showed wonderful endur-
ance, still he was not there with the
punching powers that characterized
some of his former battles. And while
Ad was lighting like a wild man to
gain the verdict over hiss rival, Muir
ply, another rival was handing the
New York boy, Knockout Brown, a
was the master OF Brown throughout
the fight, letting him bear in and meet
ing hum with vicious lefts or rights to
the head as he came in. Brown is a
fighter of the Charlie Neary order
always boring in-and being natural
ly left handed, he is rather hard to
get at sometimes. However, Rivers
solved his style early in the combat
and sent home enough drives to the
head and jaw to stop an ordinary
light weight, but the husky New York
German kept plunging in for more,
and he certainly got it, until the
tenth, when a series of hard snashes
to the jaw put him down and practi-
cally out. The chances are now that
either Tom McCarey or Jim Conroth
will match up the two wtnners-R1v-
ers and Murphy-for another big bat
tie over the marathon route. 1t WOuld
be a great card for ST. Patricks day
and no mistake. Pal Brown, Joe Man

will be a sort of elimination tourney
between the. Ketchel and BrowD
