TEN TO ONE SCORE OF THURS
DAY’S ONE-SIDED DOUGHNUT
GAME
SIGMA NU’S CAPTURE A. T. 0. GAME 4-3
First Interfrat Series Finished—Sec
ond Round Begins This After
noon.
The Doughnut League resumed
operations Thursday, with a bang,
when the Fijis ate up the Acacias to
the tune of ten to one.
The game was one-sided through
out, the Fiji tribesmen connecting
with Doc Smith’s delivery at regular
intervals, while Word held the Acacia
band at his mercy throughout the en
tire fiasco. The chief points of inter
est from the spectators viewpoint
were undoubtedly Grayson’s pajama
baseball suit and Meek’s graceful
broad jump for a base. In the third
inning Umpire Jamison became dis
couraged at the prospect of an all
night stand and surrendered his job to
Cady Roberts.
Summary of Game.
Batteries: Acacias, Smith and Mc
Millan. Fijis, Word and Shattuck.
Bases on balls: Word, 2; Smith, 2.
Struck out: By Word, 13; By
Smith, 5.
Two-base hits: Shattuck, Gray, Dun
lap.
Three-base hits: Meek, Dorris.
Umpire: Jamison, Roberts.
Yesterday evening the A. T. 0.
prospects fell ill and took a small bit
ter pill prepared by the Sigma Nu
athletes, whose prescription read:
Sigma Nu, 4; Alpha Tau Omega, 3.
Motchenbacher heaved the pellet
for the A. T. O.’s and established a
new college record by walking the
first five men up. He was replaced at
this point in the game by Prexy
Finch. The surprise of the afternoon
came in the fourth canto when Goold
annexed Chandler’s high ball with the
ease of an old timer at the business.
Viereck, the A. T. O.’s backstop, is
the find of the season, and with a lit
tle practice will undoubtedly be able
to catch the third strike anyway. The
game on the whole wTas close and ran
an extra inning for the deciding run.
Summary of the Game.
Batteries: Sigma Nu, Grady and
Walker. A. T. O.: Motschenbacher,
Finch, and Viereck.
Bases on balls: Motschenbacher, 5;
Finch, 3; Grady, 2.
Struck out: Finch, 3; Grady, 1.
Two-base hits: Viereck, Chandler.

Kay.

SIXTY OREGANAS
REMAIN UNSOLD
Manager Collier gives out the in
formation that of the one hundred and
forty 1913 Oreganas which were on
hand Wednesday, approximately six
ty are left. The Board of Regents
has changed its former decision as to
its ability to purchase any of the
year books, and has instead ordered
seventy-five to be distributed among
the high schools of the state, as well
as to other advantageous advertising
points.
Judging from the number of the
books printed and the number sold to
business men and to others than stu
dents, Mr. Collier believes that there
are many in the University who have
not availed themselves of the Ore
gana.
The books are on sale at the Y. M.
C. A. book exchange and at the down
town book stores.
Y. M. PLANS CONFERENCE
Association Men From Northwest
Colleges Will Attend Big Beach
Meeting.
The Annual Y. M. C. A. Conference
will be held at Columbia Beach from
the 13th to the 23d of June, and a
large delegation of men from all the
principal universities of the North
west are expected.
The aim of this conference is the
closer organization of the Y. M. C. A.
work of the Northwest, but an effort
will be made to make recreation as
sume as important a position as the
purely intellectual side.
The mornings will be given over to
Bible classes, mission study, and plat
form addresses. It is planned to de
vote the afternoons to sports, such as
baseball, tennis, track, and hikes
along the beach and into the moun
tains. The evenings are to be taken
up with delegation meetings, vocation
al institutes, life work addresses, and
short study periods. Among the
speakers are such prominent men as
Dr. John Timothy Stone, of Chicago,
Dr. John H. Boyd, of Portland, Dean
J. G. Eldridge, of the University of
Idaho, Dr. Ivan B. Rhodes and Mr. R.
R. Perkins, both of Portland, and Mr.
Ethan Smith, of Seattle.
At present ten Oregon men have
signified their intention of attending.
CONSISTENT CHRISTIANITY
DEFINED BY DR. PARSONS
For the last regular Y. M. C. A.
meeting of the year Dr. Parsons, of
the local Presbyterian Church, spoke
to the men on the “Intellectual Con
sistency in Christianity.”
In treating his subject, he divided
the scope of Christianity into a Chris
tian philisophy, a Christian religion,
the personal experimental life, and a
System of Ethics.
He defined a four square man as
one who was essentially right on all
of these propositions, and he applied
the term “amphibious” to the man
who could evade one of these essen
tials, yet openly profess the others.
The next Y. M. meeting will be a
novelty in the form of a Senior meet
ing, being conducted solely by mem
bers of that class.
Dr. Rebec will give his third lecture
on “Revolutionary China” next Tues
day evening, in Dr. Schmidt’s room.
Miss Katherine Carson is at the
Gamma Phi house this week.
Olive Donnell will visit the Gamma
Delta Gammas over the week end.
Mr. Pague, of Portland, is visiting
his son Donald at the Avava house.
H. L. Cash, Ex-’13, is visiting his
brother, Burleigh Cash, at the Dorm.
Miss Pearl Horner Is spending the
week end with her sister in Rose
burg.
OREGON TRACK MEN
LEAVE FOR SEATTLE
ON NEXT SATORDAY
OUTCOME OF DUAL MEET WITH
U. OF. W. CONSIDERED
UNCERTAIN
HAYWARD WILL SFNO FORMIDABLE TEAM
Racquet Wielders Also Northward
Bound to Try for Conference
Championship.
Next Saturday afternoon the Uni
versity of Oregon track athletes will
participate in a dual meet with the
University of Washington in Seattle.
The meet is considered as important,
as it will probably decide the confer
ence championship.
Although this is not the first time
that the two teams have ever contest
ed in a dual meet, yet keen competi
tion is expected. The Northern
school has an array of athletes which
is hard to equal. Such men as Court
ney in the dashes, Don Evans in the
high jump, broad jump, and javelin,
McClelland, the phenomenal two miler,
and Grace, who has a record of 160
feet in the javelin, compose a formid
able team.
For Oregon such- stars as Hawkins,
McClure, Neil, Kellogg, Johns, Hug
gins,and McGuire, will compete.
The exact lineup of the team has
not been announced, but will be se
lected by Trainer Hayward immedi
ately after his return from the Olym
pic tryouts in Califoi’nia. The Oregon
tennis team will accompany the track
team north and will compete in the
annual tournament with the Wash
ington racket wielders.
The Northwest championship last
year was won easily by the Oregon
representatives from the University
of Washington, the only other
contestant for the honor. The fact,
however, that Newland, the varsity’s
tennis star of last year, will not be
able to play this year, may lessen ma
terially the chance of a second vic
tory.

lard Hall, commencing Friday fore
noon, at D o’clock, with the last ad
dress Saturday evening.
Former conferences have been held
during the month of January, general
ly on Oregon’s Natal Day, but owing
to the crowded condition of the calen

cure speakers at that time, the date
was arbitrarily changed.
Object Is Social Betterment.
The general topic of this session,
which will bring in attendance many
prominent business and professional
men from throughout the state, deals
with the efforts being made by vari

state from a geographical to an or

To do this, problems of transporta
tion,' good roads, economic justice in
taxation, and in division of product
and cost between employer and em
ployee, while the relation between
corporation law and safety to inves
tors and state development, are among
the subjects of papers which will be
preliminary to, and serve, as a start
ing point for discussions by the aud
ience, as well as by other speakers.
Joint Sessions Held.
The fifth session, Saturday after
noon, will be a joint meeting of the
Commonwealth Conference and the
Oregon Conservation Commission,
which will hold a special meeting in
