Kincaid field track was & mire when the first event of the day, the mile run, wassailed.- The e^Mted break ing of records by the jQregpn distance runners was out of the question. Both McClure and HugjShs tired them selves out in winning tl]e mile in the slow time of 4:42 2-5, with the result tb^when. their turn canoe in the tvrf-. miles 'they were forced to yield to McClelland,' the Ibii'e' " Washington starter.,; .McClelland, however, should receive credit for a good race, for he finished fully half a lap ahead of the Oregon pairj «apd; lys:; time: wa§ goof for the heayyigoiagi jh« lnrm is uncorked. The thrill of the day was unccs~ked in the final event, the relay. McCoin nell, starting for Oregon, obtained a lead of ten yards over his opponent, I\fet!)HHicuddy.< Wright, who ran the second lap for Washington, closed in on Boylen, but at the end of the lap Oregon still had an advantage of two yards.

BERKELEY MEET ON TODAY UNDER SUNNY SKIES The University of California oval is today the scene of the annual Pacific ^jCoast Conference . track and field lineet. The expectation, has' been that Fttofe meet will ;be productive of ne*? records in several events. The entry list is open only, tp /ath letes of known ability, and every man who takes part tomorrow will be a star in his ..particular event in his own college. Teams have been entered by Stanford, the University of California, University of Southern California. University of Nevada; Oregon Agri -cultural College, Santa Clara Univer-. sity, and St. Mary’s College. Baker, of Oregon, entered in the 100-yard idaSh, comes With a big rep utation. DOPESTEflS FIGURE THUT OREGON'S | GHMCES FOR CMORSHIP ARE GOOD All the dope points to W. S. C. and Ojegon scrapping it out as champions of! the Eastern and Western divisions for the conference baseball Champion ship. The conference series has been played out in two divisions, .tHie ea<?1£ eiti made up of Pullman, Malloi aadr Whitman, and the western of Oregon, Oi A. C. and Washington. Oregort lends the western division, having won four out of six games, until yester day, when O. A. C. tied our percent age at .6C7. rullman leads tne eastern division, having won all four of the games played, while both the opposing teams •have minus scores. Figuring on the outcome seems to be very much in a circle, but Oregon’s chances are decidedly g<?od at any rate. Oregon supporters arft hoping for.tfcqi'tigsfc, \fhi#h in this^case means that -Oregoh win from Corvallis onee and Washington three times. The University play's O. A. C.- on the six teenth and seventeenth at Corvallis. Though the question of which team will play W. S. C. is extremely prob lematic, it seems that all the odds are with the successful team against Pull man, which has found its two oppos ing teams extremely easy picking. “THAT A GIRL, YOU SURE GOT 'EM GOUT {■ ■ ; : • Just Wait Till the Sorority Slabgters Slam Texas Leaguers and Things “Phonetic Architect” prospectus of the Chi Omega-Kappa Alpha The ta baseball game (future time) as heard through a contingent knot-hole. All of which means that the The tas have accepted the Chi Omegas’ challenge to a baseball game, and are now limbering up their sporting vo cabularies. Thus: “Come on, now, you’ve got every thing on the ball; you’ve got all the best of it; it’s two and one, you know; on your toes all the time, we’ve f*ot the gate closed.

WARD ARNE* He’#the man with the disposition— the kind who does everything for. everybody and enjoys doing it. Not' only that;,—he even came down to Edgene from the Vniv. of Washing-! ton and so got into everybody’s good* graces, that he stands around inspir ing “pep” in people without being ob noxious in th slightest degree. He reminds one of a bottle of champagne, when the cork is pulled out. Appar ently, he has an ideal in life, the slogan of which we would say, if we were asked, is, “Everybody happy.” You can tell by the picture that he is a baseball man. He’s a good one too, and Oregon selfishly regrets that he wears three purple stripes around his arm and a big golden “W” on his manly chest. you are a inena or ms, you can call him J. Pluvius, a name which he likes almost as well as J. Ward. Don’t be deceived. It looks yellow, but it is really the famous “Pink Sec tion” of the Women’s Emerald. -HjarT Maggart, of the Angels, is stiff the' leading base pilferer in the Pacific Coast League. He has 15 to- his credit* with Charley Moore, of Los Angeles, a close second, at 14.

The wonderful showing of Kirkland, highest indi vidual point winner, was responsible for Cohfmbia-s unequivocal victory. Washington High School, of Port land, took second place, and Eugene High third. I he track was more a river of mild than the proverbial cinder track. The faster events, the 120-yard hurdles and the 100-yard dash, were run in the center of the field. The rain hot only spoiled the track, but was the chief factor in preventing a large crowd from attending the meet. The events deservinp of particu lar notice Were the shot put, W6n by Johnson, of Washington High at 45 feet 4.5 inches; the century, won by Dick Grant, of H. M. A., at 10:1, and the high hurdles, won by Muir head, of Columbia, in 1(! jn tne low hurdles, Moses of Cor vallis, after having practically won second place tripped on the last hur dle, losing out entirely.
