GRADUATES NEXT WEEK
TUG OF WAR, TENNIS AND
BASEBALL CONTESTS
ON PROGRAM
Alumni Athletes to Have Stren
uous Time in Contests With
Seniors Commencement Week.
Great plans are being laid for jolli
fications commencement week. The
tug of war, which created so much fun,
will again be a feature of the week’s
program. There will lie a baseball
game between seniors and alumni, and
an alumni team will attempt to lower
the colors of the regular arsity tennis
team.
'1 lie tug of war will occur Tuesday
afternoon. Last year’s contest was pro
longed unduly, owing to the teams being
strongly braced. It took the alumni
twenty-two minutes to win, with the
result that there were many blistered
and burnt hands. This year the teams
will be required to stand erect, and in
stead of the team of ten on each side,
every senior man will lie given a place
on the rope, and a corresponding num
ber of alumni chosen.
On the same afternoon Jack Latou
rette’s baseball club will try conclusions
with the senior diamond artists. Buck
Kelly, ’07, will be field captain and will
lead to the attack such big league mate
rial as Terry Beck, Harry Hobbs, El
mer Paine, Dick Hathaway, Doc hen
ton, Roy Reid, Carl McClain and Bob
Nelson.

Martin W. llawkins, of Portland, Or
egon's peerless hurdler, was chosen to
captain next year’s track team, at the
meeting of the track men in Tollman’s
studio last Sunday morning. Boh Kel
logg, the premier weight man and the
team’s best point winner, gave Hawkins
a elose run for the honors, the vote
standing 7 to 6.
Captain Hawkins is determined next
year to wipe out this year's defeats by <
cleaning up everything in the Northwest. !
Prospects for a winning track team are
bright, and Hawkins is scheming howl
to turn the trick.
To begin with, the men will he put
through a regular course of training
as soon as school opens next fall. This j
will be the same as the spring training
and will put the team men almost a
season ahead. All the old men are ex
pected to return except Williams, Bris
tow and Riddell, who graduate. To
| fill Captain Williams’ shoes there will
l>e Sweaney and Fiser, a new njan from
! Ontario, Oregon, who has a record of
11 feet 6 inches. George Gabriel, who
has been unable to do track work this
year, is expected to aid Captain llaw
kins in the broad jump, and McClure
and Henry, together with Huggins, of
Hood River, who already has a record
of 4:39, will be abundantly able to
take care of the mile.

ing.
Personalities were introduced in the

NEW HELD HID INTRA
COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
PROBABLY BE LOCATED
NEAR NEW GYMNA
SIUM-MORE ROOM
In conjunction with the plan to en
courage intra-collegialc athletics, and se
cure the participation of a larger number
of students in outdoor sports, the con
struction of a new and larger athletic
held is being planned. It is proposed
to move the present held, which covers
ground worth more for building pur
poses, to the thirty acre tract south
east of the President’s house. Here
several baseball diamonds, a number of
tennis courts, and, in time a new track
and football held will be built.
The construction of the new held will
not he difficult nor expensive. The
bleachers and grandstand, which will
seat 3500 persons, can he easily moved
to the new site, and the amount of
grading will not be excessive. The lo
cation is near the men’s gymnasium and
is on the street car line. This advan
tage of an athletic held near the gym
nasium is said to be enjoyed by few
Pastern universities, many of the fields
of tin' big Pastern schools being miles
from their campus.
While no definite action has yet been
taken, it is probable that the proposed
change will he made before long. Ac
cording to Registrar Tiffany, the change
in athletic fields will have to precede
any new building on the campus, as
the next structure will be placed on the
present athletic held.
i ne strong campaign neing inane ny
the students, through their Rooster
Committee, and hy the members of the
Alumni Association of the University,
is showing good results in the general
interest which is being taken in Com- !
mencement for this year. Several of
the old students have signified their in
tention of returning to participate in
the festivities of the week and see the
graduation of the largest class in the j
history of the University.
Rob Alton, ex '12. is back for the
commencement festivities.
TRACK HAS SURPLUS
FUR FIRST TIME
MANAGER ESPY TURNS IN
$1' .20 TO A. S. U. O.
HARD SCHEDULE
Tn Spite of Expensive Meets and
California Trip, Track Season
Nets Balance.
I'or the lirst time in history, the track
season has a balance on the credit side.
In addition, the team has had the best,
hardest and most expensive schedule
that an Oregon team lias ever had to
meet.
Manager Cecil J. Espy lias completed
his report and will turn in to the A. S.
U. of 0. exactly nineteen dollars and
twenty cents. Despite pessimistic pre
dictions, the California trip did not
mean financial bankruptcy, as it cost
hut $14.00. The receipts from the tri
angular meet were badly missed, hut
the students gave hearty support to the
O. A. C. dual meet. The W. S. C.
meet, while one of the best ever held
here, was poorly supported. The in
door meet was also tabooed.
hollowing is Manager Kspy’s report:
