Oregon. paid visit to the Seattle
institution in an effort to bring
about a settlement. Fred Boiler OF

tablished with power to enforce
schedules. Reorganization and re-
scheduling of games for 1921 will
have to come slowly and with each
institution battling for itself, accord
ing to Professor Aver.
