CORVALLIS, Ore., May 24.—(Spe cial to the Emerald by J. Ward Ar ney.)—By bombarding Welch for 13 solid hits and taking advantage of Oregon’s four errors, O. A. C. won today from Oregon in a wierd feature less game. Welch had nothing on his fast ball, and no control of his curves, passing four men and allowing 13 hits. Culver pitched a nice game, his teammates’ errors allowing Oregon’s scores. O. A. C. took the lead in the open ing frame, when Smith and Shaw hit, and were advanced when Loof was hit by a pitched ball. Robins tripled, scoring all three runs. Oregon tied the score in the second inning on a hit and three errors. In the fifth O. A. C. drew two more, the result of two errors and a base on balls. Oregon counted one in the fifth, Chandler hitting and stealing and scoring on Cornell’s safety. Hits by Smith, Robins, Glazier, and Bobel’s triple resulted in four runs in the sixth, while five hits and base on balls added five in the eighth. Culver blanked Oregon until the ninth, when with two men down, Chandler rode one for a homer. R. H, E. Oregon .5 6 4 O. A. C...14 13 7 O. A.

Even if a man is a hero in times of trial, he will sometimes make mis takes. Max Somers, the Freshman who rendered “first aid to the poisoned” during the ptomaine scare at the Dor mitory, demonstrated this Thursday night, although his intentions were good. Sommers, in the midst of the melee, while on his good Samaritan trips with various black bottles, found Elliot Roberts, who does not board at the Dorm, peacefully asleep in his room. Presumably thinking him already started on his “long sleep,” Sommers wakened him with, “Here, take this!” Down went castor oil, ginger tea, and the et cetera; then Roberts recovered his breath long enough to gasp, “What for?” “Aren’t you sick?” was the query. “No, you boob,—get out!” ; _ Y. M. C. A. ENJOYS ITS ANNUAL STAG PICNIC CANOE AND SWIMMING RACES FURNISH DIVERSION State Secretary Guy Needham, Dr. H. B. Leonard, and Others, Speak “After Dinner.” Forty members of the University Y. M. C. A. enjoyed a stag picnic across the river on the lagoon yester day afternoon. The boys left The Shack at 4 o’clock, and spent the aft ernoon in canoeing and swimming. Four exciting races were held. The first race was a double canoe race, which resulted in a tie between Chas. Collier and Lewis Bond, and Bill Hol den and Don Pague. The prize of four bars of Hershey’s was divided among the two winning couples. Dean Peterson took first in the single canoe race and received the prize of two bars of Hershey's. The second prize of one bar was awarded to Bill Holden. The feature of the day was a canoe race in which the participants were allowed no paddles, but had to use their hands to propel themselves. Ed. Bailey and Andy Collier repeatedly tied for first place with Allie Grout (Contined on last page.) OREGON SECOND TEAM TIES WITH ROSEDORG 4-4- WARD ARNEY INJURES ARM IN TENTH A tie game, 4-4, at the end of the eleventh inning, when time was called for dinner, was the result of the con test between the University Second Team and Roseburg, during the straw berry festival in that city Thursday. In the first inning, Hughes hit and stole second, and third on Dobie’s sac rifice. Arney reached first on a bunt, scoring Hughes. Arney stole second, went to third on a passed ball. Gor man struck out, Arney stole home, and Billings was out on first. No more scoring was done until the fifth, when Oregon squeezed m a tally on Roseburg’s wild throwing.

Tuerck eased up in the final half, and Oregon’s errors filled the sacks. Roseburg scored on hit to right field. J. Pluv. Arney sustained the only injury of the contest, a dislocated left arm, with torn ligaments. Arney, playing short, was covering second, and his arm stretched out to stop a wild throw, was severely jolted by the runner stealing from first. “Kaiser” Wilhelm was drafted by the Roseburg bunch to play against the O. A. C. Fresnmen yesterday morning. Wilhelm made a hit with the locals on account of his stick work. The team reports a first class time, with plenty of free strawberries and ten cent dances.

OREGON EASILY WINS DUAL MEET WITH AGGIES TODAY EIGHT EVENTS RUN OFF GIVE THE UNIVERSITY A LEAD OF 54 TO 14 QUARTER IS RUN TWICE Walters Fouls McConnell—Aggies Dispute, but Windnagle and Mc Connell Again Best Him. With eight events finished and the score standing 54 to 14 in the favor of the University the result of the dual track meet with O. A. C. this afternoon is no longer in doubt. Or egon is taking everything in sight at the time of going to press, but the high wind which is blowing makes records impossible. The hundred yard dash, which was run in the fast time of 9:4 was down hill and with the wfnd. Windnagle’s Performance Remarkable The performance of Windnagle in the half and in the quarter, which he ran twice, for this race was rerun on account of a disputed foul, was re markable. Walters Fouls McConnell Oregon rooters showed remarkable sportsmanship over the disputed foul in the quarter-mile Irace. In (this Windnagle took a ten-yard lead over Walters on the far side. McConnell had also passed Walters by two yards, when Walters closed in, seized Mc Connell by the hair, and threw him to the ground while running at a fast rate. The Aggies make the excuse that McConnell had been put in the race to deliberately box Walters, and demanded that the race be rerun. To (Contined on last page.) BATH HOUSES 10 BE BUILT ON MEL RAGE Paul Bond la Installing Complete Swimming Equipment Opposite University. Bath houses by the mill race is the latest in water sports. Paul Bond an nounces that he will build a bath house for men just below the boat house, and one for women about 200 feet down stream, where there is a sand bar and where the girls may eas ily learn to swim because of a grad ually sloping shallow bottom. The shore will be cleared of brush and a walk made along the bank. At the boathouse there is fifteen feet of water, which will be cleared of snags. A diving ladder, twenty-two feet high will be erected at the corner of the boathouse for the use of high divers and later a “shoot the shutes” will be put in. Spring boards are also part of the equipment. Dirt t<i fill up the depression and make a good foundation for the bath houses is already being hauled. The houses will be constructed with tent tops at first, but if the project pays, more permanent structures will be built and better fixtures will be put in. The girl’s bathhouse will be made with compartments and lockers. The boy’s house will have one large dress ing room and lockers. Bathing suits and lockers will be for rent. It is the intention to have the houses ready for use before Commencement. MRS. E. H. PARSONS IS AGAIN PRESIDENT Eflie Rhodes, Mae Norton, Miss Up. legger, and Flora Dunham Receive Offices. Officers for next year were elected at the meeting of the Agora Club held in the Library Building last Thursday evening. Those elected were: President, Mrs. E. H. Parsons; vice president, Effie Rhodes; recording secretary, Mae Norton; corresponding secretary, Miss Margaret Uplegger, and member-at large, Flora Dunham. This was the last meeting of the Agora Club for this year. The Agora Club was founded No vember 21, 1912, immediately after the passing of the Women’s Suffrage Bill in Oregon. Its purpose is to educate the women in their new rights as voters, and to this end numerous speakers have addressed them at times in regard to work along political and governmental lines. When told of the plans, Dr. Bertha Stuart said that it would be too late to use the opportunity for instructing the girls in swimming this semester, but if the project is a success, a swimming course might be started in the fall. Canoeing under the direction of Miss Thompson has been practiced for some time, but so far no attempt has been made to make canoeing safer by teaching the girls to swim. CO-EDS DEFEAT WASHINGTON IN DEBATE BY UNANIMOUS DECISION BARTENDERS DO NOT COMPOSE FRISCO BAR ASSOCIATION Professor Allen Berates Unsophisti cated Students for Confusion of Terms in Story. "A Bar Association is Not com posed of bartenders. A student, 18 or 20 years of age, who does not know that, will probably never make a newspaperman. I don’t know what he will make!” This information was bulletined for the information of the one o’clock class in Journalism Friday and expresses Professor Allen's opin ion of the mental development of cer tain of his students. Wednesday the budding Watterson’s were required to write up a news item in which “The churches of San Fran cisco, supported by the Bar Associa tion, had invoked the recall on Police Judge Weller. Some of the “dry” members of the class were undecided as to the exact relation of the Bar Association to the saloon question, and the criticism of the journalism in structor was the result.

IN FOUR YEARS OREGON WOMEN NOW BREAK EVEN WITH WASHINGTON TEAMS 0. HASN’T LOST THIS YEAR Four Victories Give Oregon Complete Championship of Western States. Oregon debaters were victorious for the fourth time this year, in Villard Hall last night, this time by the un animous defeat of the women repres enting the University of Washington in the fourth annual Co-ed debate held with the Northerners. Upholding the negative of the ques tion, “Resolved, That the Immigration to the United States of Unskilled La borers of the New Immigration, as Classified by the Immigration Com mission, Should be Prohibited,” the three Co-ed debaters, coached by Bert Prescott, who has made an enviable record as a debate coach this year, met every contention of their opponents, and established their case that the ac tion advocated was too drastic. To exclude entirely all peoples from Southern Europe would be to keep out many worthy of citizenship, an act for which there is no economic justifica tion. The negative claimed that low wages and standards of living were not alone caused by the immigrants, but by contributing causes as well. The affirmative based their argu ment upon the over supply of labor that exists today, and the effect that they have upon social conditions. Representing the University of Ore gon were Miss Beatrice Littlefield, of Elgin, Miss Aldous Oberholtzer, of Spokane, and Miss Cecil Sawyer, of Brownsville. For the University of Washington, Miss Marguerite Cook, of Aberdeen, Miss Lois McBride, and Miss Bertha Banks, of Seattle, spoke. Dalzell King, a member of the men’s negative debating team of the Univer sity, presided. The judges were Robert Aiken, of Salem, Professor Horner, of the Ore gon Agricultural College, and Dr. William Parsons, of Eugene.
