Prosser Makes Big Splash in Race
Before Crowd of Forty
Students.
Robert Prosser, of Eugene, presi
dent of the University Freshman class
was publically ducked last night in the
mill race for obstreperousness. He
was thrown bodily into the water,
after being marched by his own fra
ternity brothers across the campus to
the mill stream. The splash occurred
over 10 feet from shore. Over forty
students witnessed the punishment.
His offence was failure to obey fra
ternity house rules. The punishment
was taken good naturedly. His only
request was that it might be kept out
of the Emerald.
Washington State College easily
defeated the University of Idaho in a
dual track meet last week. The final
score was 91 to 39. Buck Phillips,
the Idaho weighty man, took the only
firsts for Idaho, including the javelin,
shot and discus. In the former event
he broke the American inter-collegiate
record, which was established by Neil,
of Oregon, earlier in the season.

Bertrand Jerard, of Pendleton, was
elected president of the Junior class

1915 class, in Dr. Schafer’s room,

guaranteed his candidate, “amply ca->
pable of guiding the 1915 craft
through the tumulti.y>us maelstrom
of whirlpools and precipitous cliffs
which beset its progress.”
I Josephine Moorhead, of Junction
City, was elected Vice President, and
Hazel Tooze, of Oregon City, had
no opposition in her race for Sec
retary. Rolla Ralston, of Albany, was j
unanimously designated for Treas

Second Mythical Aggregation
of Stars.
(By J, Ward Arney.)
Since the 1912-13 Northwest Con
ference baseball season has drawn to
a close with the championship in a
tie, there is no opportunity to spec
ulate as to the strongest team in the
league, but there is left to the dopes
ters the tempting but elusive job of
picking an all-star aggregation from
the lineups of the six colleges.
In grouping such a mythical con
stellation, one should look beyond the
heroworship upon which so many of
the individual’s reputations for stars
are founded, and get at that combina
tion of factors which go to make a
particular player the real class of the
league in his position. This combina
tion is one of aggressivness, fielding
ability, hitting strength, speed on the
bases and either the natural “head”
or that gain—from experience. Judg
ment on this basis must apply to the
individual and not in his relation to
his team, for many men are towers of
strength when working with the ma
chine that they are used to, falling

OICJMIIM
FIRSTS II BIG MEET
FINAL TRACK RESULTS SATUR
DAY WERE 85-46
Oregon Again Swamps Aggies’ Much
Touted Stars by Large
Score.
Hayward again demonstrated his
ability as a trainer and added another
O. A. C. scalp to his belt, when the
Oregon team easily romped away with
the annual dual meet in Corvallis
Saturday afternoon, defeating the
“Aggies” by a score of 85 to 46. At
no time was the final result in doubt,
the score at the end of the first eight
events being 54 to 14. Oregon won
10 firsts and the relay, while Corvallis
won but four events. Baker, of O.
A. C., ran the 100 yard dash in 9:4
seconds, but on account of a sloping
track and a wind which assisted the
runner, no record will be allowed.
Fee, of Oregon, was the individual
point winner of the day, scoring lOVa
points. Although no records were
broken, good time was made in all the
events.

MEET AT WALLA WALLA WILL
END VARSITY SEASON
WHICH HAS BEEN
SUCCESS
HAYWARD MAKES DOPE SHEET
From Point Winners in Corvallis Meet
Hayward Must Pick Seven Best
Men.
The reduction of his list of 20 point
winners at Corvallis Saturday to a
team of seven track men to meet
teams from all the other Northwest
Conference Colleges, is the problem
which “Bill" Hayward, Oregon’s suc
cessful trainer, is facing this week.
The team leaves Thursday for Walla
Walla, where the conference meet Is
held. The problem which Hayward
faces is not that of picking his first
place men, but that of picking a team
which will take the greatest number
of points, considering the entries of
all the other teams.
“I have selected the teams for all
the other colleges,” explained Hay
ward yesterday, as he was holding a
watch upon a trial race in the first of
a series of try-outs. “And I don’t
think I have missed any of them. But
now I must select my own team. I
may have to leave behind one or two
of my sure-first-place men, because a
man who can take two seconds is
worth more than he who takes first.”
U. of W. Dangerous Rival
In spite of the fact that Oregon de
feated the University cf Washington
track team with ease in Eugene a few
weeks ago in the dual meet, Bill Hay
ward counts Washington as the most
dangerous rival for Oregon at the
conference meet at Walla Walla next
Saturday. According to the closest
figuring without the relay Oregon can
count on 29 points, Washington on 28.
This hangs the outcome of the meet
upon the relay. The three contenders
in this will probably be Washington,
Whitman and Oregon. If Hayward
can see his way clear to win the meet
without entering the relay, he will do
so. He sums up the contenders for
the races as follows:
Baker, of 0. A. C., must defeat Kin
der, of Whitman, and Terrene, of
Washington, to win the 100-yard dash,
as O. A. C. expects. Baker has the
best time, at 9:4, but all can do 10
fiat.
Baker, 0. A. C., Kinder, of Whit
man, Cook, of W. S. C., and Bloom
quist, of Whitman, are four 220 men
who appear to be at a stand off.
Oregon counts three and perhaps
five points in the quarter mile with
Windnagle running against Walters
of O. A. C., Bloomquist, of Whitman,
and McConnell, of Oregon. Bloom

WOMEN HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO KEEP A SEGHET.
THEY DID PRETTY WELL ON THIS ONE, TOO
Girls, pass it on, but keep it dark, j
“Chi Omega vs. Kappa Alpha Theta, I
at Midway Park, 4:00 P. M., Tues
day. Eighteen leading ladies, all
headliners. No male characters rep- j
resented; show scrupulously clean, j
We cater to women and children, j
Forty funny clowns. Admission, one
dimple. Bring your megaphone.”
For two weeks Chi Omega and
Kappa Alpha Theta have been in a
quandary. The one has challenged
the other to a game of baseball. Mod
esty has hindered the staging of the
game. During the past week base
ball paraphernalia has disappeared.
| Catcher’s masks, mits, shin guards,
| and even first and second base bags,
| have been borrowed. Few reasons
have been given for the mysterious
demand; but girls don’t give reasons.
That is, some girls don’t have to; and
these have done the borrowing.
But anyway they did their best to
keep the invitations secret, and did
pretty well. Of course it was a
shame that someone was so indis
creet as to mention it to just one.
And it was awfully mean of that one
to tell the gang at Obak’s. And wasn’t
it nice of the gang to think of send
ing out a force of rooters? But the
game was called on account of rain.
