UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1913.
Vol. XIV; No. 97
PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK
PETITIONS FILED
UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATIONS
MUST BE SUSTAINED BY VOTE
OF PEOPLE, PROBABLY
IN NOVEMBER
SEEKS TO DELAY THE VOTE
Secretary of State Finds Form and
Substance of Petitions Legal and
Numbers Correct.
S'ANEM, Ore., May 29.—Petitions
asking for a reference to a vote of
the people of two bills making an ap
propriation of $175,000 for building
and improvements for the Oregon
University were filed this evening
with Secretary of State Olcott by
Harry J. Parkison, secretary of the
Oregon Higher Educational Institu
tions Betterment League, an organ
ization perfected to refer the bills,
also to initiate a measure to consoli
date the University with the Agricul
tural College.
Admission was made by Parkison
that the league contemplates bringing
suit to have declared unconstitutional
the Day bill providing for a special
election in November and defer a vote
on the bills until the general election
so that a measure to consolidate the
schools may be voted on at the same
time.
Finds Petition Legal.
The petitions asking that house bill
No. 287, making a $100,000 appropria
tion for a building for the University
are composed of 489 sheets and con
tain 7775 names. Those asking that
house bill No. 289, making an appro
priation for $75,000 for the remodel
ing of buildings and other improve
ments are composed of 471 sheets and
contain 7695 names. An examination
of them by the secretary of state dis
closed that in addition to having the
required number of names they other
wise complied with the law and he di
rected them filed.
According to Parkison, the members
of the league some time ago discussed
the proposition of testing the Day bill
and Senator Joseph, a member of the
executive cmmittee, was directed to
look after this phase of the situation.
Under the Day bill nothing but meas
ures referred can be voted on, and the
object in having it declared unconsti
tutional is to defer a vote on the re
ferred measure until the general elec
tion so that the proposed initiative
bill may then also be considered.
Parkison Talks.
After filing the petitions, Parkison
gave out the following interview:
“The Educational Betterment
League has applied the referendum on
building appropriations for the Uni
versity only, in the amount of $175,
fer the bills appropriating money for
maintenance, such as salaries, etc., al
though this fund has grown to over

CORNELL BET A CAMERA? NOT MUCH; 1
DRUG CO. RELUCTANT TO AWARD PRIZE
Offered Picture Machine for Player
Making First Triple—Cornell
Did It First Thing.
Our minute, speedy shoftstop is in
grief. Here is the tear-skit.
At the opening of the season, the
Linn Drug Company hung up as a
prize for the first triple credited to an
Oregon man in a conference game, a
kodak. Owing to a faux pas Done
head, on the part of the diamond his
torian, no mention was made of this
offer, and consequently the credit due
the Linn Drug Co. for its interest in
the team, was not given it.
Now Cornell did his part in the lit
tle bargain like a man, pickling the
first ball that was thrown him in the
first game for a healthy triple. There
is no doubt that it was a triple. It
was a knock-out.
Recently Cornell paraded down to
collect his swag, Naturally he was
waved to the bench, for the donors
had not been treated fairly.
All credit should be given the Linn
Drug Co, and the kodak to Cornell.
OREGON ORATORS LOSE
TO WASHINGTON DUO
INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTEST IN
PORTLAND YESTERDAY
Warner and Zimmerman Meet Seattle
Speakers in Portland, But Fail to
Win Any Decision.
PORTLAND, May 31.—After hav
ing been twice defeated this season in
debate, the University of Washington
last night retaliated against the Uni
versity of Oregon by making a clean
sweep of first places in the oratorical
contest, which was held at the Y. M.
C. A. auditorium in Portland. The
prize for the prepared oration was
won by Harold Burdick, of Washing
ton, by a decision of four to two, and
the prize for the extempore oration
was won by Fred Bennett, of Wash
ington, by a decision of two to one.
Mr. Burdick’s winning oration on
“National Dishonor” dwelt with the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain on the Panama Canal,
and his argument was in favor of the
attitude taken by Great Britain. How
ard Zimmerman gave the oration for
Oregon, treating the Immigrant prob
lem on the Pacific Coast, under the
title, “Our Unguarded Gates.”
Judges in the oratorical contest were
Professor R. C. French, of the Y. M. C.
A.; Professor W. F. Ogburn and Pro
fessor N. F. Coleman, of Reed Col
lege, on delivery; Dr. J. R. Wilson, of
Portland Academy, H. H. Herdman,
principal of Washington High School,
and Professor E. O. Sisson, of Reed
College, on composition.
The contest in extempore speaking
is an innovation in the oratorical con
test between the two institutions and

JUNIOR BUSHWA BALL PLAYERS WIPE UP
GROUND WITH CHALLENGING CIVIL BRETHREN
By running up a margin of six runs
in the first two innings, hits, errors,
and passed balls contributing, the
Junior Bushwas defeated their Engin
eering classmates, 7-1, in a five-inning
game this morning.
Aside from the fatal opening, the
teams were evenly matched. Woo
Sun, who opened in the box for the
slide-rule artists, gave way to Anun
sen in the third, after striking out
three, walking one, and allowing four
hits. Don Rice pitched a consistent
game for the Bushwas, allowing but
three" safeties. Hall’s two-bagger in
the fourth brought in the Engineer’s
lone tally. Lloyd Barzee umpired.

Oregon hopes of another North
west track championship were badly
shattered today, when, on a hot,
dusty track, on which records were
impossible, the University team drew
fourth place in the annual Confer
ence meet on Ankeny Field at Walla
Walla. The points total Washing
ton 35; Washington State 29 1-3;
Whitman 27 2-3; Oregon 24; Idaho
10; O. A. C. 8 1-3.
Oregon took first in only the broad
jump, shot put, and the 440, falling
down heavily in the track events.
Both mile and half-mile, which local
fans put down as certain points, went
to Washington. McClure was looked
up^n as almost a sure man in the
mile, but lost to Clyde, of Washing
ton, and apparently was so exhausted
from this race and from the heat,
that he dropped out at the end of the
first lap of the two-mile.
McConnell, Oregon’s second place
half-miler, collided with Schultz at
the first turn, and both fell down,
neither being able to finish the race.
Oregon took fourth in the relay.
The track was dusty and very slow.
The turns were sharp and short,
which made the 440 a difficult race.
Referee Varnell arranged for extra
men to watch this race, as it was a
hard contested one.
“Dad” Moulton had charge of O. A.
C. Dr. Stewart, was not here. “Dad”
said after the meet last Saturday, he
could see nothing in Oregon’s class.

BATTING PERCENTAGE
HAS HEADED LIST SINCE DAY
OF “DUD” CLARK
Fen ton, Captain-elect, Has Best Field
ing Record .Though Turck
Gets 1,000.
i
(By J. Ward Amey.)
Now that the last man is out, the
last fly has been chased down, and J.
Pluve can spoil no more practices,
there is left to the baseball writers
nothing of the 1913 season but statis
tics and predictions for the next year.
The score book reveals some interest
ing figures and the crystal some en
gaging prospects.
Averaging up the fielding a.jd hit
ting percentages made in the ten in
ter-collegiate conference games that
Oregon has played this Spring, the
statiscian finds that the real leaders
in these two lines are the outgoing
and incoming captains, Fenton being
the king-pin in fielding and Chandler
leading the swingers of the Pontiac.
There is no dispute as to Chandler’s
premiership among the bastinados, for
the Sea-gull has maintained his lead
ership of three seasons by clouting
the ball at a .398 clip for the year.
Fenton Is Premier Fielder.
Fenton’s title to the fielding crown
is contested by Tuerck, who in the two
games that he has participated in has
handled his eight chances without a
bobble, thus earning a hundred in
deportment. Fenton, however, has
taken part in every game, has ac
cepted 110 chances for a grand aver
age of .982. This record gives him
the pinnacle.
As a team, Mr. Ayer’s charges have
