Bill Hayward’s prophecy that the

UNIVERSITY HEALTH COMMITTEE ISSUES:
STATEMENT REGARDING CDNTAGIDN
Asks Students to be Careful, but Says
No Cause for Any
Alarm.
In view of many rumors of cases of
contagion in Eugene, the University
Health Committtee, consisting of Pro
fessor 0. F. Stafford, Dr. Bertha Stu
art, and Professor A. R. Sweetser, is
sued tie following statement yester
day:
“The University Health Committee
wishes to call the attention of the
Student Body to the existence of a
number of cases of smallpox in Eu
gene. The situation is not one to
cause alarm, but at the same time,
everyone should exercise reasonable
care in the matter of coming into con
tact with strangers in street cars and
public places. The committee believes
that all persons at all times should
have the protection secured by vacci
nation, and in view of even the remote
possibility of infection, those not pro
tected in this way might well be vac
cinated now.”
VARSITY CO EDS UNITE
UNDER WOMEN’S LEAGUE
ELEANOR McCLAIN PRESIDENT
OF NEW ORGANIZATION
Meta Goldsmith and Faye Ball Chosen
as Vice Presidents for
Association.
The women of the University, at
their mass meeting Thursday after
noon in Villard Hall, organized the
Women’s League of the University of
Oregon, the first organization of its
kind in the State of Oregon.
The officers elected were Eleanor
McClain, of Silverton, president; Meta
Goldsmith, of Eugene, first vice presi
dent; Faye Ball, of Astoria, as presi
dent of the Women’s Athletic Associa
tion, was automatically elected second
vice president. Hazel Tooze, of Sa
lem, was elected secretary; Minnie
Poley, of Ashland, treasurer; Evelyn
Harding, of Oregon City, editor; and
Ethel Van Valkenberg, sergeant-at
arms. Candidates were nominated by '
a committee of the Women’s Council,
under whose auspices the mass meet
ing was held. Norma Dobie, of Eu
gene, for president, and Meta Gold
smith, also of Eugene, for secretary,
were two other nominations made dur- 1
ing the meeting.
Prominent Women Speak.
Miss Mae Norton, as president of
the Council, presided. She called upon
Mrs. M. H. Parsons, Mrs. Eric W. Al
len, and Miss Harriet Thompson, for 1
explanations of the work, nature and 1
character of organizations of similar
leagues at Michigan and Wisconsin.
These were fully explained. Mrs. Par- '
sons and Mrs. Allen confined their re
marks to the moral and democratic in
fluences that such organizations have,
and declared that they tend to coun
teract the narrowing influence that
college life seems to have upon the 1
women when their activities are re
stricted to a few. The operation of 1
the league at Michigan, Miss Thomp
son explained in detal.
To Miss Florence Cleveland, ’13, 1
fell the honor of making the motion
;hat there shall be a league in the Uni
versity. The motion was put, and
carried with a strong acclaim. The
nominations made by the nominating
committee were announced, others ■
were called for, and the election
taken.

SEDATE SENIORS SEEK
TALL TIMBER NEXT WEEK
^lass to Hold Picnic, Keeping Details
of Outing Plan Strictly
Sug-rosa.
Some time next week—it is imma
terial to the underclassmen when—
;he senior class will ease one over the
*est of the college. It will slip quietly
iway from the campus sometime in
;he afternoon of the above mentioned
lay and come back when it gets
■eady. Details * are very obscure—
‘sub-rosa,” whatever that means, is
;he word to cover the situation.
With memories of the lottery dance
still lingering, the members of the
:lass, which is digging up $11 per for
:aps and gowns, have planned a pic
ric—a real rah rah sylvan repast
'that’s what one of the seniors called
t) out in the real woods along the
janks of a real river on a real spring
ifternoon and evening, all looking for
i real time. Arrangements have al
ready been made for four hayracks
vith four horses to each to spirit the
:lass away.
Word of the picnic is at present be
ng quietly passed around among the
nembers of the class—there are no
’ormal invitations, for all will attend,
rhe details, however, are in the hands
>f four students,—all clams—one of
vhom every Senior must consult be
bre Monday noon.
Oh, no, the picnic is not on Mon
lay, Sherlock, but that is the day be
bre which the members of the class
nust see one of the four. These are
lelen Holbrook, Faye Ball, Abe
31ackman, Robert Fariss.
General Secretary H. W. Stone, of
he Portland \ M. C. A., addressed
;he local association at the regular
neeting in Deady last Thursday even
ng. The topic discussed by Mr.
stone was “World’s Leadership.” He
landled his subject ably and inter
>st was shown by those in attend
mce.

OREGON DOWNS WILLAMETTE IN
FAST GAME BT SCORE OF 3-0
BAIL REFUSED IN CASE OF CITY
OF EUGENE VS FATIMA ET AL
Sigma Chi Mascot, Impounded by Dog
Catcher, Will Stay Until $5.00
is Paid.
Fatima, the Sigma Chi mascot, is in
the city “pound,” the place where lit
tle doggies go that have no collars,
and for whose keeping no license has
been paid.
For two whole days he has been in
carcerated with other beasts that can’t
boast of such a pedigree and name.
F'ive dollars is the amount required
to obtain his release, and in the ab
sence of that sum, all of the fraterni
ty’s efforts to even bail him out have
been futile.
The University of Washington Won
the crew championship of the Pacific
Coast by defeating both California
and Stanford on San Francisco Bay
last week. The Washington shell fin
ished about twelve lengths ahead of
Stanford who second place.

PLAY TWO THRILLERS
AltNY SAVES SICMA NU HIDES
FROM PHI DEBT’S
Dorm and Kappa Sig Hand Out Com
edy of Errors and Call it Tie
Game.
(By J. Ward Arney.)
Shakespeare never staged a better
Comedy of Errors than did the Dough
nuts when they presented to Univer
sity fandom the Dorm-Kappa Sig skit.
From curtain to curtain it was a
wierd mixture of boneheads, boots,
and freak plays. After seven innings
of baseball that would bring tears to
the eyes of a wooden Indian, Umpire
Shockley called time, with the score
even up at 7-7.
Ken Reed was the whole Dorm
team, stricking out 13 Balognies and
nailing two of his ream’s six hits.
Anson Cornell was on the rubber for
the Kappas and aside from a strong
tendency to poke the ball in some
one’s ribs, threw a nice game, deserv
ing to win with proper support in
view of the Dorm’s slips. The game
will be played to a finish in the near
Future.
Getting away in the opener with a
lead of four runs, the Phi Delt’s
seemed to have copped the woolen be
longing to the Sigma Nu’s in the
second game of the morning, but the
under-dogs fought out of the hole,
winding up the contest with a squeeze
hit by Arney that brought the total to
five runs.
“Ivory” Miller and “Sky-line”
Speck took the leading roles, the lat
ter suffering from a fearful case of
lapsus noodle in the initial frame that
should have spelled defeat for his
teammates, but like all interfrat
games, there’s many a slip ’twixt cup
and lip. Hughes, Chandler and Wal
ker starred.
MANY OREGON STUDENTS TO
ATTEND BEACH CONFERENCE
Six Oregon students have signified
their intentions of attending the Stu
dent’s Conference of the Young Men’s
Christian Association at Columbia
Beach next June from the fourteenth
to the twenty-second. Besides Ore
gon, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and
British Columbia will have represen
tatives at the conference. Last year
the local association was represented
officially by Charles Koyl.
These conferences are annual affairs
and are always held at Columbia
Beach.
ANUNSEN AND BIGBEE FEA
TURE IN STONEWALL
INFIELD OF
VARSITY
BIGBEE ALLOWS BUT 3 HITS
Chandler, IVlctschenbacher, and L.
Bigbee Hit Drake for
Singles.
(By J. Ward Arney.)
Zip! Boom! Bang! Everybody was
doing it! They all picked out their
favorite pet shilalah, took a big
healthy crack ait the ball and the
scorer marked down an assist and an
out. From start to finish the game
was full of hard hitting, very little
of it being of the safe vdriety, and
fast snappy fielding, and although it
was the Varsity’s game all the way,
yet it never bordered on the lop-sided,
as the final score of 3-0 shows.
Neither Drake nor Bigbee, the rival
slabsters, disposed of a record num
ber via the strikeout route, but both
were hard to hit in the pinches. Drake
allowing the wearers o’ the green four
bingles, while Bigbee yielded but
three to the swings of the Salemites.
Drake, however, was generous with
his issuance of free transportation,
passing five men, two of these figur
ing in the scoring.
l«ood Yielding Exhibited.
Both teams put up wonderful field
ing exhibitions, nearly every out be
ing gained by corraling a hard driven
ground or fly ball. The speed ait
which that Oregon infield is traveling
promises a stone wall defence to back
up Messrs. Bigbee, Welch and Tuerck.
A one-handed ^pear of a line drive,
by which Buck Bigbee retired the side
in the second inning and Anunsen’s
stellar stop in the eight frame fur
nished the features.
Oregon scored in the first inning
when, after Cornell had succumbed to
the wiles of three twists, Mount
worked Drake for a walk, annexed
second a la Jimmy Valentine, and
counted on Chandler's drive into
right. The captain then emulated
“Beany’s” example by stealing second,
but died there, Fenton and “Buck”
grounding out.
In the second inning, Drake stuck
a fast one in Anunsen’s ribs, Dutch
going to first. Billings forced him aft
second by a fielder’s choice and scored
a moment later on a single by Mot
sehenbacher and an error by Lund, the
husky backstop following him in on
Lyle Bigbee’s sharp drive for a
safety.
Umpire (lets Roast.
Only once did Willamette reach as
far as third and then a decision of the
raw order robbed them of this ad
vantage and the possibility of scoring,
the Umps deciding that McRae, who

OREGANA IN TWO WEEKS
Editing of Year Book Finished and
Copy in Hands of
Printer.
“My part of the work on the 1914
Oregana is now complete," said Editor
Don Rice yesterday. “All that re
mains now for the completion of the
book is some of the advertising.
However, the book will be out by Jun
ior Week-End.”
The 1914 Oregana contains over two
thousand cuts, which are printed on a
lighter paper than that used in last
year’s Oregana, but of better quality
for half tone work. The bopk is
printed throughout in brown and
green ink. The cover is different from
any ever used before, being of new
black leather.
All of the work was done in Eu
gene with the exception of the cuts.
