BLEACHER SPLINTERS
Dope Heard from Spring Sport Fans
While they Decorated the
Bleachers.
The Washington faculty has again
crabbed the hopes of the purple and
gold team. Nine members of the
varsity squad failed to make their
“B” average and were given the offi
cial hook. It looks as if the Wash
ington team will present a sad array
when they go to California to meet
Stanford and Berkeley.
* *
The recent cloudy weather has put
a slight dampener on varsity practice.
However, the weird and desultory in
terfraternity games have furnished
food for the fans to live on until the
varsity season opens.
• *
From appearances in the recent
frosh-soph meet, it looks as if the
gaps in the track team will be filled
largely from the two underclasses.
Give Bill material to work on and
trust him to bring a winner under the
wire. Of the new men out, Stuller,
Hawley, Tom Watson, Boylen, and
Johnny Parsons look like developable
material.
* *
California succeeded in taking the
first two games with Stanford and
again won the California intercolleg
iate championship.
* •
Bill Hayward is changing Ed Stul
ler’s form in jumping. Bill is teach
ing the form used by Horine, Beeson,
Dave Martin, and a few other Califor
nia jumpers, who consistently clear
the six foot mark.
* «
It has been reported that Ercel Kay
will desert the diamond for his old
love the cinders. Sprinters are need
ed on the track team at present and
Kay’s presence means a big boost for
the sport.
* *
Baseball prospects look a little bet
ter. Seven games have been sched
uled so far and probably an eighth
in the near future. The following
games will be played: Multnomah at
Eugene, April 24; Washington at Eu
gene, April 29 and 30; W. S. C. at Eu
gene, May 7 and 8; Albany “Colts" at
Albany, May 16; Willamette at Salem,
May 17: Multnomah at Portland, May
18. The Willamette game is not set
tled but Manager Geary will probably
make connections with the Methodist
institution for the date.
* * *
Poet has been laying off for a few
days to rest up a sore arm. The big
boy has lots of stuff on the ball this
year and ought to make a good run
ning mate for “Jamie.”
♦ *
Johnny Welch has been showing up
well in the nightly regular—Yannigan
games. The ex-Washington High
star has a good assortment of bend
ers which he is slipping over on the
Varsity men.

* EXCHANGE NOTES ♦
**********
The Oregon Agricultural College
has formed an honor society for de
bators. The name of the new organi
zation will be the Shakopean. It was
named in honor of Shakopee, an old
Minnesota Indian chief.

ensics Ran Behind About $263.90
this Year.
Manager Geary submitted his re
port to the executive committee this
morning, concerning the condition of
debate finances, as is the custom at
the close of any season. Although the
deficit is large, it does not quite equal
that of last year. The debate between
the Washington and Oregon co-eds oc
curring sometime in May in Seattle,
will be at Washington’s expense, so
no increase in the debt is expected
from that quarter. His report is as
follows:
Expenditures.
Utah-Oregon Debate .$200.00
Stanford-Oregon Debate. 144.00
Intercollegiate Oratorical As
sociation Dues . 9.00
