OREGON EMERALD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XIII. EUGENE, OREGON. SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1912. No. 56 FIGIS HANG INDIAN SIGN ON ASPIRING AGAGIA BALL TEAM 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. Three-base hits: Motschenbacher, Kay. Umpire: Fenton.

Miss Nell Hemenway is in Port land for the week end. Dr. Stuart has departed for 0. A. C. But “she’ll come back.” 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.

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. n ASK EMBLEMS Fraser Elected President of Glee Club—Warblers Will Choose Next Leader. Last Monday night the Oregon Glee Club held its annual election and placed Kenneth Fraser in the Presi dent’s chair for the coming year, by a majority of eighteen votes to two received by Jerry Martin, his only op ponent.
