-v As the O. A. students hurried expectantly into the chapel Monday morning, they were more than pleased at what they beheld, for before them hung a banner, of purple and -silver about two by four feet. It was a beautiful thing and was suspended by a brass chain from the pulpit. Everyone was talking "field meet" when suddenly the whole student body broke into cheers for President Gatch came in with the medals on a large purple velvet placard in one hand and the silver cup, still cased in the other.

The cheering did not cease until long after he had placed the medals, over the banner on the pulpit and had taken the cup, which was the prize for the relay race, from its velvet casing and set it beside the medals over the banner. Then the cheering subsided somewhat and the regular chapel exercises were carried out. After they were over the president said he wanted to hear the students yell for the team, the manager, the trainer, and for O. A. C.

Nine rahs were given for the team, three for Prol. Hay ward, three for "Dad" Trine and the old slogan Zip Boom Bee was given three times. Prof. Cordley then said that in order to win more victories we must make the cantata, "Queen Esther" a success. Then Prof.

Hayward arose, at the request of the president, to tell some more about the meet. He said that the trophies before us could tell better than he how the meet came out. But he said that the reason Williams did not take the quarter was that Multnomah had 13 or 14 out of 16 officials and would not listen to any protest. Williams. Smith-son and Gearin were running the quarter and it.

was very close till Williams got pushed into the grand stand. The relay was very close and exciting, Williams, Coates and Cooper taking part from O.

Coates in his heat made the high hurdles in 6 2:5 seconds, the world's record being 7 seconds. As this was announced the students broke into a prolonged cheer over this lowering of the world's records.

Swann in vaulting 10 feet 2 inches breke our college record one inch. This is the greatest victory that the present generation of students in O. A. C. have, ever seen, and is prophetic of more that are soon to follow.
