wheel-barrows, shovels, and other
utensils for the University work, Fri

training rules literally and preparing
for the three days of games which

FOUR CO-EDS OPEN BATHING SEASON
BY JOLLY SWIM IN MILL RACE
Frolic in Water Before Timid Man
Ventures Into Chilly Mountain
Water, and Like It.
Four University girls “slipped one
over” on the University yesterday, by
being first in the water this Spring.
Each year, students swim in the mill
race adjoining the campus. The
spring is late this year, and the wa
ter from the mountains, a few miles
above, is cold. Brave “men” have
hesitated, but the three girls laughed,
and plunged in. And it was not a
mere plunge, but a real swim. For
20 minutes they froliced in the water,
while the more timid watched.
“Come on in, the water’s fine,” but
none responded.
The girls were Ruth MacLaren,
Marguerite Rankin, Madge Berry, of
Coos Bay, and Maud Mastick.
Today, the precedent set, several of
the college men brought out their
bathing suits, and the season is on.
GOLF TOURNAMENTS

The ranking committee of the Uni

of which begin tomorrow. The entries
in the handicap tournament for the
possession of the H. D. Smartt cup
have been divided into four classes.
The first class will play at scratch,

ALLEN AT MERCY OF JOIUTS TONIGHT
President P. L. Campbell, of the
University, will be at the mercy of
10 college newspaper men tonight,
when he is initiated into honorary
membership of Sigma Delta Chi.
President Campbell will be the first
initiate of the new journalistic frater
nity. He is himself an old newspaper
man, having served his day as a re
porter and at a desk on the Kansas
City Star, many years ago. He is a
friend of every newspaper man. Fol
lowing him. Professor E. W. Allen,
head of the Department of Journalism
at the University, a graduate of the,
University of Wisconsin and a Seattle
newspaper man, will be initiated into
honorary membership. The other ini
tiates who must live through the or
deals of the ceremony are Arthur
Geary and Andrew Collier, both of
whom were connected with the Press
Club before it was granted its char
ter in the national fraternity. Gea
ry, who becomfcs the first ».lumni;
member of the fraternity, has been
correspondent for the Portland news
papers, and is a member of the Port
land Press Club. Collier becomes the
first initiate to active membership.
Tonight’s initiation is not the club’s
annual public initiation, which will
occur next Wednesday. On the pre

SENIOR GLASS EXERCISES
TO BE HELD IN OPEN AIR
MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING
CLASS WILL APPEAR IN
GOWNS AND GAMBOL
ON GREEN
MAY 14 IS THE DATE FIXED
Every Senidr is Expected to Have
Gown and Wear It—Scene Will
Be Unusually Impressive.
The University Seniors will inno
vate a new system upon the day for
their annual appearance in their Sen
ior gowns and caps, on May 14, by a
song ceremony upon the campus. The
plan for an assembly program will be
given up, or substituted by this new
scheme which met with favor at a
class meeting yesterday. The mem
bers of the class, clothed for the first
time in their caps and gowns, will
assemble on the lawn in front of
Villard Hall, and there sing class and
college songs. It is an old custom in
many Eastern colleges. Following
this ceremony, all will march in file
into the auditorium, where an address
will be given by a member of the
class. All members of the class are
expected to appear in their gowns.
At the class meeting yesterday, the
plans for the memorial fountain were
formally accepted. The structure will
be located between the library and
Deady Hall. It will have a concrete
rectangular basin. A stream of wa
ter will play from a metal flower in
the center. The fountain will cost a
maximum of $150.
Special provisions are to be made
this year at commencement for the
seating of guests at the several serv
ices, to avoid the crowding out of
parents and friends of the graduating
class. Invitations will be issued, and
seats reserved for those invited.

UNIVERSITY TO ENTER 8
11 IN SPOKANE MEET
IF THEY RUN UNDER OREGON
COLORS NOT ALLOWED TO
COMPETE FOR
MULTNOMAH
M. A. A. C. WANTS FIVE MEN
If Club Will Enter Oregon Men in
Both Meets, Oregon Not
to Enter.
Oregon will probably enter a team
of eight men in the Spokane meet
June 20, instead of allowing its ath
letes to compete under the colors of
the Multnomah Athletic Club. The
whole proposition depends upon the
club. If Manager Schmitt, who has
asked “Bill” Hayward for a team of
five men, composed of Windnagle,
Huggins, Parsons, Neill, and McClure,
to compete for the Winged “M” in the
Pacific Northwest championships in
Portland, June 14, will take the same
men to the Spokane Pow Wow, Ore
gon will not enter an official team.
“Spokane has written me, offering
expenses for eight men at the Pow
W jw there, June 20,” explained “Bill”
Hayward, yesterday. “On account of
a Northwest ruling, my men cannot
compete in Portland June 14, for
Multnomah and then at Spokane for
Oregon. I do not know which meet I
shall enter, but am waiting to hear
from Schmitt.”3
It is understood that Schmitt js
trying to get the strongest team pos
sible to represent the Winged “M” on
Multnomah field June 14. Dick Grant
and Goreczky, star prep school sprint
ers, have been added to the squad, and
are counted as strong point winners
in any meet. Paul Wilson, distance
man, and Robert Krohn, pole vaulter,
both of Stanford, will arrive in Port
land in time to represent the clubmen
in the meet.

WASHINGTON TEAM TO
HE THIS EVENING
“JIMMIE” CLARK BRINGS CREW
OF BATSTERS DETERMINED
TO SQUARE UP
ACCOUNTS
COME EXPECTING VICTORY
Games Will be Pitchers’ Battles and
of Real League Baseball
Calibre.
Coach James Clarke, with a squad
of University of Washington baseball
men in tow, will arrive this evening
to open a series of two games, tomor
row and Thursday, with the Varsity.
This is the first appearance of the
Purple and Gold team on an Oregon
field for two years, but will make the
second meeting of the two baseball
teams this year. They played two
games during Spring vacation at
Seattle, Oregon annexing both of
them. Now Washington is coming
down here, determined to square up
accounts, for the boys of the Puget
Sound University feel those two de
feats, at the hands of Captain Chand
ler and his playmates, very keenly.
Oregon Nine in Good Shape.
Oregon, however, should be harder
to beat now than then, for she met
Washington on that university’s home
grounds and at a time when Washing
ton was fresh from a successful train
ing season and Oregon was handi
caped by lack of opportunity to de
velop. Oregon since that time has
been more fortunate, and have now a
fast, well-balanced team, full of pep
and knowledge of the inside workings
of the game. These two games ought
to more than even up to the fans for
the two rather slow and uninteresting
games played last week-end with 0.
A. C.
Much will depend in these two
games upon the condition of the pitch
ing staff of both teams, for the other
departments seem to be about on a
par in the two aggregations. Both
have splendid hurling men. In Welch,
Bigbee, Fleming, and Tuerck, Oregon
has a quartette that is hard to sur
pass, while Washington can place no
end of confidence in the abilities of
I the veterans “Jack” Johnson and
Boatman. Johnson is the captain of
the Northern team and when right, is
a big man to face, while Boatman is
conceded to be the class of the Con
ference, and from his pitching against
the California Universities, where he
gained the coast strikeout record of
26 men in thirteen innings, can well
be called the leading college pitcher
of the coast. Both have had the ad
vantage of the tutelage of Jimmie
Clarke, who has pitched for the Van
couver Club in the Northwest league
for two seasons, being the second win
ning twirler last year, a distinction
that made him desireable enough to be
drafted by the Chicago Sox, to whom
he refused to report because of a sal
ary disagreement. Taking all these
things into consideration, the series
between these two colleges ought to
show some swell pitching.

HII6E AUTOMOBILE PARADE ill MARK
OPENING OF WEEK-END FESTIVITIES
o
With probably forty automobiles in
line, headed by a band, the annual
Junior Week-End will be formally
opened Thursday afternoon, at 2:30,
with a monster grand parade. The
track teams, baseball teams and ten
nis men of the Universities of Wash- j
ington and Oregon will be included,
as well as the High School athletes
who are here by that time.
Although the parade will come after
the first baseball game, it will mark
the beginning of the Week-End. If i
afternoon classes can be arranged
satisfactorily, the men of the Univer
sity will be marshalled into a serpen
tine to complete the parade.
Abe Blackman and Alva Grout have
the affair in charge nad are going
after the auto owners now. Lists of
car owners have been secured, and
they will be asked to co-operate with
the University to make the opening a
success. Offers of machines by those
not reached by telephone will be ap
preciated.
