EMERALD UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XIII. EUGENE. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1912. No. 59 CINDER PATH STARS ASSEMBLE THIS WEEK END FOR RUDE MEET TEAMS FROM SIX CONFERENCE COLLEGES TO COMPETE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP OREGON TEAM HAS HARD RACES AHEAD Hayward Finds it Difficult to Pick Seven Men from Oregon’s Eleven Point Winners. Next Saturday afternoon, on Mult nomah field, the greatest track meet ever scheduled in the Northwest, will take place when the stars of the six conference colleges assemble to de cide the Northwest championship. The meet, which was mainly promot ed by Bill Hayward, Oregon’s pre mier trainer, will bring together the greatest array of first place athletes ever assembled in one meet in the Northwest. Despite the optimistic feeling in evidence on the campus, Oregon will probably have a hard fight if she ex pects to bring home the bunting, and a glance at the entries in the vari ous events shows why Bill is having such a hard time selecting seven men who will be capable of bringing the championship to Oregon. In the 100-yard dash there are four men entered, Courtney, W.; Kin der, W. S. C.; Cook, Whitman; and Baker, 0. A. C., all of whom do the race in 10 1-5 or better. The same men represent their institutions in the 220 and run it all the way from 22 3-5 to 21 4-5. In the 440, Ritter, W. S. C., does the distance in 51 2-5, while Walters, 0. A. C., and Bloom quist, Whitman, have run it in 51 3-5 , and 52 respectively. The half has been run by Bartlett, W. S. C., in 2 minutes 1 1-5 seconds, while Smith, O. A. C., has run close to the 2 minute mark. Barrit, Whitman, runs the mile in 4 minutes, 40 seconds, Stoky, W. S. C., has done it in 4 minutes 35 seconds, while Williams, the O. A. C. man, who ran Huggins off his feet here a few weeks ago, can probably better the 4 minutes, 30 seconds mark. In all the races, with the exception of the 2 mile, remarkably fast time has been made throughout the whole Northwest. Nor are there any easy points to be gained in the field events. With Harris and Scott, of Idaho, jumping 5 feet 8 inches, and Bower, W. S. C., and Doyle, O. A. C., both going 5 feet 9 inches, the high jump is a disputed contest. Oregon has little opposition in the 120-yard hurdles, but Hunter, of Idaho, can run the low in 25 1-5 seconds, and wall probably run close to first. With Sherrick, of Washington, tossing the hammer 141 feet, and Philips, of Idaho, running a close second at 135 feet, the outcome of this event also is extremely doubtful. McCoy and Neill, Whitman, and Love, of W. S. C., all hurl the discus over 120 feet, while there are five entries in the javelin, all of whom have thrown the spear beyond the 150 mark. Bill Hayward, in speaking of the coming meet, said, “It can easily be seen that Oregon will have to buck against a great bunch of star men. There are eleven Oregon athletes, however, who could all undoubtedly take places in the meet. The names of Johns, Hawkins, Latburette, Kel logg, Williams, McClure, McGuire, Neill, Stuller, Huggins, and Boylen, are well known on the campus, but I consider it the most difficult part PHI DELTS INSTALL DELTA SIGMAS THURSDAY The Delta Sigma local fraternity will be installed in Phi Delta Theta national tomorrow, May 30. Among the Phi Delts here for the occasion will be W. S. Farris and George D. Kierulff, Presidents of the Kappa and Iota chapters respectively; H. H.

MEN PLAN TO ATTEND CONFERENCE With the close of college, the inter est in the Northwest Student’s Con ference at Columbia Beach is becom ing of special interest in Y. M. C.

This Conference has its program arranged in such a way that it is well bal anced in all parts. All the attrac tions and features of this Confer ence, whose value, according to the majority of those who have attended, equals any semester of college. The Oregon men who are sure of going and have organized into the “Col-Be-Con” Club of delegates, are: Oscar Haugen, student leader; Edw. Bailey, Byron Getchel, John Black, Irwin Brooks, William Larwood, Merwin Irish, Walter Kimmell, Harry Viereck, and Charles Koyl, faculty leader. Immediately after this conference the General Secretary will attend the Conference and Training School for the Western and Pacific Coast Student Secretaries in Estes Park, Colorado.

HAYWARD’S IN JAKE EASE VICTORY FROM NORTHERN ATHLETES SCORE LOP-SIDED IN SPITE OF OREGON’S FEW ENTRIES HUGGINS MAKES TWO MILE RECORD Field Events Show Better Action— Neill Hurls Spear to 165 Foot Mark. Last week Trainer Hayward took twelve tried men and true on the northern trip, and each of the dozen athletes acquitted himself well. Had the meet been held in Eugene, Ore gon might have made the score more lop-sided by entering a greater num ber of men and picking up more sec ond and third places, but, as it is, everybody is satisfied, including the prophetic “Obak,” who foretold an 82-to-58 score and thereby underes timated rather than over-rated Ore gon’s strength. The time made in most of the events Saturday was slow', due to the poor condition of the Seattle track. Hawkins’ work of 25 4-5 seconds in the 220-yard hurdles, was the best performance, this being a new track record at Washington. In the high hurdles Hawk went behind his past record and was content with the time of 16 seconds flat. He was the high est point winner in the meet, taking 16 points, beside running the first lap in the successful relay. Oregon’s great distance men also loafed in all their events, being chiefly concerned with taking as many places as possible. McClure entered all three of the distance runs, winning the mile and finnishing behind Huggins and Boylen in the two-mile and half, respectively. In the two-mile even, Oregon took all three places, and Huggins hung up a new track record of 10 minutes 3 4-5 seconds. In the half, Boylen over took Ilusly, of Washington, in the back stretch on the final lap, win ning easily in 2:04. McClure also passed the Washington runner near the finish. In the field events, the records made were somewhat better. Bill Neill placed his name in the head lines by setting a new Northwest record of 165.4 feet in the javelin throw, defeating Grace, Washington’s spear artist. Ben Williams got away with the pole vault at 11 feet 3 inches, which is another track rec ord. Captain Hob Kellogg came through strong in the weight events, winning the shot and hammer handily, al though forced to relinquish his An gora to Edmunds, of Washington, in the discus. The results follow: 100-yard dash—Courtney, Wash ington, first; Johns, Oregon, and ('rites, Washington, tied for second. Time, 10 1-5 seconds. 220-yard dash—Courtney, Wash ington, first; Johns, Oregon, second; Crites, Washington, third. Ti.me, 22 2-5 seconds. 440-yard dash—Johns, Oregon, first; Husly, Washington, second; Wright, Washington, third. Time, 56 seconds. 880-yard run—Boylen, Oregon, first; McClure, Oregon, second; Hus ly, Washington, third. Time, 2:04. Mile run—McClure, Oregon, first; Huggins, Oregon, second; McClelland, Washington, third. Time, 4:47 2-5. Continued on second page
