Varsity is now traveling at top
speed, assimilating a whole lot of
good baseball knowledge at eacn

game against Willamette that will de
light the hearts of the most fastidious

this season had the chance to show its
real strength, the only game which
they have played having been with
the Chemawa Indians, to whom they

in the dust, and they’ll fight hard to
turn the trick Friday.
Bigbee will probably be seen on the
mound for Oregon, as it is his turn'
to work, while Motschenbacher is
slated to receive him. The big Fresh
man is the possessor of blinding .
speed and the master of a choice as- ,
sortment of hops, as the Washington ]
team will testify.
An injury received in the Multno- ;
mah game is keeping “Buck” Bigbee <
out of the infield, and in all probabil- 1
itv will give Dobie a chance to play j
the second bag in the Friday’s game. (]
“Buck” shoved his finger in under <
Keck’s sliding spikes and he is wear- ]
ing a badly damaged hand. His ab- i

TRACK MEET WITH CLUBMEN
SATURDAY TO BE FAST
Hayward Has Men in Shape to Set
New Records in Distance
Events.
Oregon will enter 26 men in Satur
day’s meet with Multnomah in an ef
fort to make the University’s victory
as safe as possible. By running as
many men as possible and lightening
the work upon Oregon’s fast men,
the probability of breaking records
is much increased. Oregon’s entries
are as follows:
100 yard dash—Kay, Boylen, Kiser,
Ross. 220 yard dash-Boylen, Kay,
Kiser. 440 yard dash—Windnagle,
Hall, Barber. 880 yard run—Wind
nagle, McClure, McConnell. Mile run
—McClure, Huggins, Pack. Two
mile run—McClure, Huggins, Black
aby. High hurdles—Fee, Bryant.
Low hurdles- -Fee, Bryant. Broad
jump—Parsons, Kay, Boylen. High
jump—Fee, Bingham, Hampton. Pole
vault—Miller, McCormick, Fee. Shot
put—Foster, Heidenreich. Discus
throw—Heidenreich, Cook, Bailey.
Javelin—Neill, Fee, Cook. Relay—
Windnagle, Hall, Barber, Epperley.
The last few days of warm weather
have done wonders toward puting the
track men in a fit condition for the
meet with Multnomah Athletic Club
on Kincaid Field next Saturday after
noon.
Bill Hayward, though he will pre
dict nothing definitely, believes that
Oregon has a slight edge over the
Clubmen, but will not have the easy
victory of last year that resulted in a
108-29 score, the long end in favor of
the “wearers of the green.”
“I want every one of the track
squad out Saturday in a track suit,”
said Bill todaj', “for I shall enter
more than three men in every event.
Also I may change the entries about,
—it is all according to the way the
meet goes.”
Multnomah’s entries are as follows:
Philbrook, shot put, discus, high jump;
Wolff, shot put, discus; Hummed,
100-yard dash, high hurdles; Brace,
220-yard dash, 440-yard run, relay;
Bryant, 220-yard dash, 440-yard run,
relay; McGinnty, half mile and mile
runs; Sharpe, half mile run; Bibee,

SNOW IMPROVEMENT
GRADES OF MEN APPROACH
THOSE OF WOMEN
Mary Spiller Leads all Organizations
—Beta Theta Pi First
Among Men.
Statistics of scholastic standing
mailed to the fraternities yesterday
by the University registrar, when
compared with the same statistics for
two previous years, show that the
average range of scholarship at the
University is increasing; that the fra
ternity man is passing the non-fra
ternity man in scholastic honor, and
is crowding the women students for
first places. Until this year the aver
age of all woman’s fraternities and
organizations, as well as the non-or
ganized co-ed, have ranked entirely
above any of the records of the men.
This year the record shows three
fraternities and the men’s dormitory
among the sororities.
For three year’s the woman’s dor
mitory, Mary Spiller Hall, has held
the lead. This year Beth Reah leads
the sororities,, and Beta Theta Pi
heads the list of men’s fraternities.
The non-fraternity man in two years
has dropped from seventh to twelfth
on the list; but the non-fraternity
woman has maintained fourth place.
The following represent the grades
for the first semester of three years,
ending 1913, 1912, and 1911:

OREGON SPIRIT SAVES VARSITY
EXCHEQUER FROM DOCTOR BILL
Dr. Tyree, of Salt Lake, Oregon 1900,
Refused Pickett's Money on
Debate Trip.
“Oregon Spirit" has been reduced to
a matter of dollars and cents—and by
a person who was connected with the
University of Oregon as a student
thirteen years ago.
When David Pickett, debator and
orator, was taken sick just after his
arrival in Salt Lake City, he was con
veyed to the Saint Marks Hospital, an
Episcopal institution of that city. His
case fell into the hands of a Doctor
Joseph Edgar Tyree, of 518-521 Felt
Building, a graduate of the University
of Oregon in the class of 1900.
Doctor Tyree took exceptional in
terest in Pickett’s case and attended
him daily while the debator was sick.
Upon his recovery Pickett inquired as
to the doctor bill, in order to advise
Manager Geary. This, Doctor Tyree
replied, would be nothing, due to the
fact that his patient was a student of
the University.
