The career of C. J. Hunt, former football coach at Carleton College Northfield, Minn., who has been en- gagged to coach the team of The Uni versity of Washington, will be fol lowed with unusual interest. Hunt is stepping into the shoes vacated by nine seasons, during which time his team suffered not a single reverse.
 The coming of Hunt to Washington will mark the inauguration of a new regime in athletics at the university. Creation of department of intercol- legiate athletics is a departure dis tinctly new.
 AS director of the new department Hunt will have entire supervision of all branches of intercollegiate sport except the crew. As in past years. Coach Hiram B. Conibear will direct the work of the crew without the as sistance or supervision other than his own. In football, baseball, basket ball and track Hunt will have entire charge.
 Hunt will be head coach of the football and basketball and will be in direct charge of the work of teams in these two branches of sport. In baseball, although Hunt will have SUI pervision, Dode Brinker, center field CT of the Vancouver baseball team, who coached the varsity nine last year, will remain as active coach Of the track men.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %. - The recent defeat of the University of Pennsylvania football team by the University of Oregon, following the defeat of Brown University last year, has elicited no end of comment and comparison between the relative mer- It's of eastern and western teams.
 The concensus of opinion seems to the effect that the east, in it's future games, will have to send it's best team west in order to win, and there will be little likelihood of success as long as the teams that make the transcontinental journey are selected on the basis of faculty permission in- stead of merit.
 That the teams considered the best of the eastern football elevens likely is to meet with faculty opposition and that an inferior team may be granted permission to make the trip is, of CouioC, ICSoSulLCu db but with the caliber of the coast teams that annually are being turned out, it is believed the customers will be doomed to further disappOintments if they are represented by faculty picked organizations. This belief is further strengthened by reason of the fact that it generally is recognized that the long transcontinental trip Is, in itself, no inconsiderable handicap even for the best teams.
 The fact that the crowd attending the last east versus west match at Pasadena. California. was estimated to be the largest that had witnessed a football game on this coast is taken as evidence of the tremendous inter- est which these games arouse.

When asked by the judge why they did not report immediately, he was told the facts in the case as related. &This was construed as contempt of court, and each fined $10. One re- ceived in addition jail sentence for offering an explanation during the re- luctant search for the ten spot
 For these methods of enforcing law and order the residents are quite hos tile, and are not inclined to make al lOwances because these powers are now at the business. It is reported that District Attorney Spence will look into the matter.

Considerable regret has been ex- pressed in athletic circles over the decision of the Rocky Mountain Con- ference to abolish the hammer throw from its list of field events. The javelin throw was substituted as be- ing less dangerous. It is claimed that while the javelin thrower has practi- cally absolute control over the direc- tion of his missile, the hammer throw CT, on the contrary, with the many sharp, quick turns of the body neces- sary in launching the weight, is liable to lose his sense of direction.
