OREGON ENTRIES ANNOUNCED
Hayward Makes No Predictions, But
Says, Meet Will Talk for
Itself.
Prepared to make a favorable show
ing against the track team of the
University of Oregon tomorrow after
noon on Kincaid field, fourteen Uni
versity of Washington track athletes,
under the guidance of Coach Dr. D. C.
Hall, are due this evening on the 7:50
train from Seattle.
Washington comes like the pro
verbial “dark horse.” Except for the
old men it is impossible to prophesy
the dope to any degree of accuracy.
Bill Hayward, as usual, will make
no predictions, but says, with just a
shadow of a grin, that he would rath
er have the meet talk for itself.
Hall Has Few “W” Men.
Coach Hall, of Washington, de
plores the fact that his,> team is crip
pled this year for the lack of “W”
men, through ineligibility and regis
tration difficulties. Nevertheless he
predicts that his men will make an
unexpected showing and spring a sur
prise tomorrow. “The men have been
training very consistently,” said Dr.
Hall, “and I have every confidence in
their success, but it is rather discour
aging to see so many good men in
college unable to participate in the
meet.. I am sure that with the pres
ent squad we could take any meet in
the Northwest this year.
The Washington tear1- after leav

they have a contest scheduled for
May 13 with the Aggies.

ELECTS NEW MEMBERS
_ o
o
“Goats” Will Edit Tuesday Issue of
0 Emerald as Public Part of
Initiation.
Sigma Delta Chi, honorary national
journalistic fraternity, announces
three pledges to membership: Earl
Blackaby, Clarence Ash, and Thomas
Boylen, elected Wednesday. These
men represent the Spring initiates of
the new fraternity. They will be made
members sometime next week. On
Tuesday they will edit the issue of
the Emerald.
The three candidates were elected
following the initiation of President
Campbell, and E. W. Allen, as honor
ary members; Arthur Geary, alumni
member; and Andrew Collier, active
member. Collier will assist the three
“goats” in the publishing of Tues
day’s Emerald.
Following their initiation both Pres
ident Campbell and Professor Allen ad
dressed the members of the fratern
ity, the one declaring that the Jour
nalistic fraternity represents the new
tendency in modern journalism—that
which is opposed to extreme individ
ualism; the other prophesied that the
Journalistic fraternity, of which Sig
ma Delta Chi is the leader, will have
as its members all the leaders in the
newspaper profession in ten or twenty
years. He prophesied that the found
ing of Omicron chapter at the Uni
versity of Oregon will be marked as
an event in the history of the Univer
sity of Oregon.
The initiation of pledges next week
will be semi-public.

RULING NOTE IS SURE FUN
Cast Includes Storie, Shaver, Flora
Dunham, Bess Cowden, and
Ruth Peter.
Friday evening, May 9th, the Univer
sity of Oregon Dramatic Club presents
Oscar \\ ilde’s comedy, “The Importance
of Being Earnest,” at the Eugene thea
tre. This year’s production marks a
wide divergence from former Junior
Week-End plays, in that its ruling note
is fun—pure fun, unclogged by burden
some plot or “heavy” lines.
“The Importance of Being Earnest”
depicts serio-comic adventure among the
ultra-fashionable younger set of Eng
land. Professor Reddie, who is coaching
the club, assisted in the production of
the same piny at Valparaiso University
several years ago, its remarkable success
on that occasion leading to its adoption by
the Oregon Dramatic Club.

WASHINGTON TENNIS PLAYERS GONE
THIS EVENING TO FACE OREGON NEH
This evening the University of
Washington Tennis Team arrives
from Seattle, ready to do battle with
Oregon for the supremacy of the two
states. •
Except for the loss of one man by
graduation, this is the same team
which broke even with Oregon last
year at Seattle, losing to Oregon in
the doubles and winning in the
singles.
This morning Captain Irwin Brooks
had simmered his team down to four
men out of which he will pick two
others besides himself for the three
J
man team.
To date, eight matches have been
played with Washington, and they
now hold a lead over Oregon of 10
ioy2.
“Every man,” said Capt. I. Brooks
this morning, “will have to be entered
in one match of singles of three sets
each and then they will draw to see
which two continue with the double
of five sets.”
Th four entries for Oregon, out of
which three men are to be selected,
are Captain Irwin Brooks, Oberteuf
fer, Bond, and Grey.

FOURTH AND SCORES FOUR
RUNS. BYLOR TAKES
MOUND IN FIFTH
WELCH HAS WASH. AT MERCY
Oregon’s Support Clinches Game—
Two Three-Sackers Chalked
Up for M. Bigbee
Knocking Captain Johnson out of
the box in the fourth inning, having
scored six runs in the second and
third, Oregon came within an ace of
shutting out Washington in the sec
ond game today. Welts, the third
man up in the last inning, drove a
three-bagger, and came home on a
pitcher’s error.
Welch pitched almost flawless ball.
Lyle Bigbee was the hero of the bat
tle, starting the scoring with a three
bagger in the second, and again with
a second three-bagger in the next in
ning.
Byler, who relieved Johnson at the
end of the fourth, stopped the Wash
ingtons’ massacre.
The game by innings:
First—Kerry out, Welch to Fenton.
Durham flew to L. Bigbee. Wells
tripled up third foul line, but Zilka
fanned. One hit, no runs.
Cornell fanned. Mount out, Gra
ham to Zilka. Chandler hit over
short, but was caught off first and
put out at second. One hit, no runs.
Second—Fitzgerald over second for
one base; took second when Graham
rolled out, Bigbee to Fenton. Weg

BOATMAN WINS FIRST
GAME roR VISITORS
Bigbee Derricked at End of Fourth
and Tuerck Saves Rest of
Game.
(J. Ward Arney.)
Washington downed Oregon yester
day in the first game of the series, 5
to 1. Boatman was on the firing line
for the visitors and that tells the tale
of the game. This boy pitched as
| fine a game of baseball as will ever be
seen here, having speed, control and
breaks that kept the Oregon team at
his mercy throughout. Oregon is
credited with four hits, but only two
of them, pokes by L. Bigeee and
Chandler, were of the legitimate or
der. Billings was given a hit when
Fitzgerald, in fielding an easy fly,
tangled with the second sack, did a
shadow dive act that was real comedy
and muffed. The fourth was chalked
up against Boatman when Chandler
beat out a questionable throw to
first. Eight Oregonians whiffed and
none drew a pass from Boatman’s
serving. He pitched one great game!
Bigbee Had Nothing on Ball.
“Babe” Bigbee started for Oregon
but was wild, walking four men, and
ineffectual, apparently having noth
ing on the ball. He was the logical
selection to beat Boatman, but was
suffering from that malady that ef
fects all hurlers sometimes, an off
day. He was derricked at the end of
the fourth round, Tuerck being sent to
relieve him.
Thf game took a decided change
and the crowd was treated to an ex
