MUSTER INSPECTS ROADS OF CALIFORNIA Engineering Professor Spends Week as Guest of State Highway Commission. Professor Edward H. McAlister, Dean of the College of Engineering, returned yesterday morning from California, where he has been the guest of the California State High way’s Commission since May 16. On this trip he visited the two great trunk roads which are being built the entire length of the state, one down the Sacramento and San Joaquin Val leys, and the other closer to the coast, touching at all the larger cities. Professor McAlister visited a great many camps along these roads, in specting the five or six different grades of road, which are being built. For the most part the highways will be made up of a concrete base with a this surface of asphalt. The State of California has appro priated $18,000,000 for these roads and the various counties have issued bonds of from one to four millions of dollars, making a total of nearly $40, 000,000 for the new highways which are to be finished in time for the 1915 fair. According to Professor McAlister, these two trunk lines will be approx imately 1,800 miles in length and will be tapped by numerous cross roads amounting to about 900 miles. In this manner not only will the hitherto un developed portions of the state be opened up, but the scenic wonders, for which the Golden State is famous, will dr. e. h. McAllister Dean of the College of Engineering, who is assisting the California State Highway Commission. be accessible to thousands of tourists during the big fair of 1915. “At the present time,” said Pro fessor McAlister this morning, “the work is only fairly started. Already contracts have been let for over 300 miles of road. This work will be com pleted by 1915. Next summer Professor McAlister expects to make another trip to Cali fornia. MISS MARY A.

STUDENTS WILL GO TO FRIDAY HARBOR Several From the University Will Spend the Summer at Marine Laboratory. Four Oregon students are definitely i planning to spend the summer at the Friday Harbor Marine Biological Laboratory on Puget Sound. They are Maud Mastick, Ruth MacLaren, Ethel Sanborn, and Moselle Hair. Others are said to be intending to go, but as yet have not reported to Pro fessors A. R. Sweetser and J. F. Bov ard, who have charge of the Univer sity of Oregon end of the well known marine summer school. Every year a large number of stu dents from the institutions in the Northwest gather at this station off the coast of Washington. Last year eight Oregon students made the trip. The Puget Sound Marine station is the outgrowth of a marine station es tablished by the University of Wash ington at Friday Harbor in the sum mer of 1904. Since then sessions have been regularly held each year at this location. In 1908 the institution was placed on a co-operative basis, all of the educational institutions of the Northwest combining with Washing ton to carry on the organization. Professor Trevor Kincaid, of the University of Washington, is at the head of the institution, assisted by a council composed of representative men from the western colleges, Pro fessor Bovard and Sweetser repre senting the University of Oregon. The cost for a summer’s study at the Harbor is about the same as that for the University’s summer school here in Eugene, and the professors in charge are hoping for a large delega tion from the University. Says Pro fessor Bovard, “Friday Harbor un doubtedly offers a better opportunity than any similar resort in the world for the study of marine fauna and sea-life.” The same credits are given for work at this institution as at any of the colleges which assist in main taining it.

TRACK MEN GIRD UP LOINS FOR CONTEST SATURDAY (Continued from first page.) quist has defeated them all, and all are good for 51:2. Eight Points on Half Mile Hayward counts eight points in the half mile for Oregon, though, to get this number, both Windnagle and Mc Clure or McConnell must defeat Clyde of Washington, Reynolds of O. A. C., and Shoultz of W. S. C. The mile is worth eight more to Hayward. McClure and Huggins should take first and second, although the Oregon trainer is not certain that Huggins can win from Clyde of Washington. Williams of O. A. C., and Whitton of Idaho will also figure in this race. The two mile will be a pretty race between McClure, Huggins, and Mc Clelland, of Washington. McClelland has a 9:55 record, and h is the best of the “dope.” Barratt, of Whitman, is also a contender. All are better than 10 seconds. Both the low and the high hurdles rest between McCrosky, of W. S. C., Bowers, of Whitman, and McFee, of Washington. Bowman, of Washington, has a rec ord of 6 feet 1-4 inch in the high jump, which should take this event. He has not shown his old form yet this year, and Estes, of Whitman, Williams, of Washington, Woodworth, and Lawrence, of O. A. C., are all contenders who can do five feet ten The broad jump will be a fight be tween Williams, of Washington, and Parsons, of Oregon. Williams beat Parsons, of Eugene, several weeks ago, but Hayward is sending Parsons to Walla Walla for first place. Pole Vault Not Popular “There are not many of class in the Northwest,” is Hayward’s comment upon the pole vault. Williams, of Washington, and Fee, of Oregon, have both gone 11 feet, and Bowman is a third contender. Neil, of Whitman, Cook, of Oregon, and Philipps, of Idaho, are the prob able contenders for the shot. All do over 40 feet. Edwards, of Washington, holding a 121 foot record in the discus, must contend with Neij, of Whitman, and Love, of W. S. C., In the javelin, Philips, of Idaho, with his record of 186, has first place well under his arm; and Neil, of Ore gon, has second with his 169 foot throw. Oregon’s relay team is not selected, for Hayward is undecided over the final selection of his team. It will probably consist of Windnagle, Mc Connell, Cook, and McClure or Kay, according or not whether Hayward takes his Sprinter. Hayward announces the selection of five men who are sure of their places on the team, and names four others, of whom two will be selected. The former are McClure, Windnagle, Cook, Huggins, Parsons. The latter are Neil, McConnel, Kay and Fee. Three of this number are Freshmen. At the University of Indiana the inter-class basketball men are award ed hats instead of sweaters.
