CANDIDATES NANED IN JEST WITHDRAW
Judges of Election Appointed to Act
Throughout Wednesday’s Voting
Battle.
Following the nominations for next
year’s officers at last Wednesday’s
meeting of the Associated Student
Body, interest in the annual election,
which is to be held Wednesday next,
has been at a white heat. The various
booms launched by the Varsity spell
binders have gained momentum, and
numerous groups of students earn
estly engaged in the discussion of po
litical issues may be seen on the cam
pus any day during recitation hours.
New Candidates Petition.
For every office except those which
will go by default on account of
dearth of candidates, there will be a
lively contest waged. The announce
ment of President Ray at Wednes
day’s student body meeting that nom
inating petitions signed by ten or
more members would place the names
of additional candidates on the ballot,
has borne fruit, for four such petitions
have already been received. These
are for Karl Martzloff, for a position
on the executive committee, Ruth
Stone and Bess Cowden, for two of
the associate editorships on the Ore
gon Monthly, and Russell Calkins, for
the assistant managership of the
Monthly. The latest date at which
nominating petitions can be excepted,
is next Monday morning.
Two Nominees Withdraw.
To counterbalance this entrance of
new candidates into the field, how
ever, two of those nominated by the
regular method, have withdrawn.
Mason Roberts, who was expected to
make a strong run for one of the as
sociate editorships of the Monthly,
has found that spring work will oc
cupy too much of his time, and has
been forced to close his ears to the
solicitations of his admirers. Howard
Zimmerman has also relinquished his
chances for the assistant manager
ship of the Monthly.
The election will be held in Prof.
DeCou’s room in Villard Hall, from 10
until 2 o’clock, on Wednesday. The
regular 10 o’clock assembly for that
day will be dispensed with. The exe
cutive committee has selected the fol
lowing students to act as judges of
the election. Those serving up to 2
o’clock will have charge of the vot
ing, while those going on duty after
two will count the ballots. The com
mittee requests that, in case any of
the appointees are unable to serve,
they send a substitute, preferably up
per-classmen.

THREE VARSITY CANINES
LAST QUICK IN A SCRAPE
Evidently, the maxim, three is a
crowd, is borne out in dogdom as well
as in human society. This was the
idea that prevaded the minds of
Prokos, Miss Stinson’s “Count,” and
the Sigma Nu bulldog, last Thursday
morning, as they gathered around the
library steps at the close of the ten
o’clock. Everything was as peaceful
as the quiet that reigns in the Doug
lass stronghold, until someone started
something. It was a free for all,
with no holds barred, and just who
was on the bottom when time was
called, was never determined. There
was a quick exodus of those in the
library for “other proposes than
study,” but Chief Second Chandler
had thrown up the sponge, and as the
mix up had not yet reached the crow
bar or ammonia bottle stage, the trio
were pulled apart. The “Count” was
led away, but tried to literally come
back, but was unsuccessful, as the
other contestants were spirited away,
until the next time.
MMCJATCH ASSURED
Prescott Will Manage Games With
Clubmen—Tryouts for Team
Announced.
At a meeting of the Men’s Tennis
Club Thursday evening, it was de
cided that Bert Prescott should man
age the Multnomah Club-Oregon
team’s affairs. The contract calls for
a match with the club team here on
Saturday morning, May 11, and a re
turn match in Portland on June 1,
the day of the conference track meet.
This tournament is open to all stu
dents and those connected with the
University, but is not supported by
the student body. The Oregon team
will be picked by Prescott and Stine,
according to the form shown in the
tournament.
Plans were discussed for the inter
collegiate tournament also. There
will be three different tryouts to make
the team. The games will be played
in Seattle on May 18, the date of the
Oregon-Washington dual track meet.
This tournament will be triangular,
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho each
being represented. Oregon’s team of
three men will be selected from the
following squad: Gray, Shattuck,
Stine, Brooks, Yaden, Moores, Lytle,
and Munly. It is not certain whether.
Newland, who is now playing varsity
baseball, will appear on the tennis
courts this season.
EUGENE GUAIU) REPORTER
ADDRESSES JOURNALISTS
The address of Mr. Fendern, of the
Eugene Guard, to the newspaper class
yesterday, on the subject, “The Prac
tical Side of Journalism,” was fol
lowed by his offer to let the U. of O.
newspaper students take charge of
the Guard for one issue, with entire
authority over everything in the shop
except the check book.
Mr. Fendern has been in newpspa
per work in all parts of the United
States, and gave a talk reported by
all to have been of unusually practical
interest. He told many stories of
newspaper life, and gave besides, an
account of the expense and difficulties
in getting Titanic news immediately;
the Associated Press alone spent
about $300,000, he said.
Mr. Fendern in conclusion, im
pressed upon his audience the fact
that the life giving advertising sec
tion is the most important part of
newspaper management.
The Dormitory Club entertained
with an informal dance Friday even
ing.
Nancy Noon has gone home for the
week-end.
OREGON NINE GLEANS
AGRIC SLATE IN TWO
CONSECUTIVE GAMES
VARSITY BATTERIES STAR IN
3-0 AND 5-2 GAMES AT
CORVALLIS
PEET AND WELCH GRANT BUT THREE HITS
Both Teams Put Up Fine Exhibition
of Ball in Spite of Adverse
Weather.
Oregon opened the inter-collegiate
baseball season yesterday by slipping
0. A. C. a large green pea with a 3 to
0 label on it. Peet twirled for Ore
gon and incidentally did some tall
twirling. He allowed one hit, walked
one man and sent eight back to the
bench by the three healthy swing
route.
O. A. C.’s only hit came in the
ninth frame, when Rieben singled.
Peet, however, shut the gates and the
home team’s chance for a garrison
finish faded, leaving the spectators
sad and despondent.
(lame Won in Sixth.
Oregon fell before Rieben’s offer
ings for five innings, but ruined the
game in the lucky sixth. With two
down Mount clouted a safe one, Cobb
reached first on an error, while “Bea
nie” was getting his spikes affixed to
the keystone sacks. Peet drew a pass
from Rieben, filling the sacks. At this
juncture a wild pitch put Mount
across the plate, Cobb and Peet each
advancing one base. Chandler
stepped in as our best little pinch hit
ter and made good by poking one
through the infield and Cobb dented
the rubber for the second run. New
land ended the agony by grounding
out to Rieben, who retired him unas
sisted.
Oregon’s third run came in the
ninth on hits by Newland and Rob
erts.
Salisbury umpired the game.

Oregon Wins 5-2 Game.
In the second game with O. A. C.,
played at Corvallis this morning,
Oregon defeated the Aggie nine by
the score of 5-2. Welch, the freshman
twirler on Captain Jamison’s squad,
let Corvallis down with two hits. No
other details were forwarded. The
team returns tonight.
