WARM WEATHER AIDS TRACK MEN CHANCES FOR CHAMPION SHIP TEAM LOOKS GOOD SHOULD WIN IN DISTANCES Oregon Aggregation Weak in Sprints. Field Events With Cook, Heidenreich, Fee, Tel ford and Parsons Look Safe. (By James A. Pack, Jr.) In the words of our campus muse, “Spring has came,” and the warm sunshine has brought forth a wealth of material for Oregon’s track team. The clouds of doubt as to our chanceB for a championship track team have been in part dissipated. True a number of last year’s team are gone but others have come to take their place. The absence of “Bill” Hayward, who is out on a series of extension lectures, has made things a little bad, but the assistant coaches, Mc Clure for the distance men, Kuyken dall for the sprints, and Williams on the pole vault, are working with the men this week. As usual the University will be strong in the distance events. Floyd Payne, the Freshman from Athena, promises to be a record-breaker. He won the cross-country this year in easy style, coming in only five sec onds slower than Windnagle’s time of 15 minutes, 15 seconds made last year. Bob Langley is also a comer and at present is pushing Payne right to the tape. Bostwlck is an other Freshman who will have to be reckoned with. Middle Distances Strong. In the middle distances there la but one old man left, Captain Mc Connell, but he has lots of competi tion In “Swede” Nelson, Fltzglbbon, "Grasshopper" Loucks and Boylen. i-ioucks, a green man, Is showing up especially well, and looks like the dark horse of the year. His stride is long and he hns the horsepower to carry It through. Both Fltzglbbon and Nelson have run the quarter un der 55 seconds already and fast time Is expected from them later on. It Is up to Nelson to fill Windnagle’B place In the half. Langley, McCon nell and Tracer will be his chief com petitors in this event from the pres ent outlook. Few Sprinters. It Is In the sprints that Oregon Is the weakest, but still It is too early in the season to judge very well as to how the men will materialize. Boylen, Sheehan, Loucks and Lake are all “going good.” Oregon has sure points In the weights. Sam Cook Is putting the shot around 4 2 feet. Last night "Heine” Heidenreich threw the dis cus 20 feet further than his best heave of last year. Johnny Telford, a freshman from Oregon City, has taken up the javelin, and although he has only thrown It a few times In his life and has no form, makes around 160 feet, which Is within eight feet of Hill Nell's record of last year. Fee and Cook are both throw ing the spear a long ways and should pick up points for the Varsity in this event. 'Junt|HMK 111 (aOO<l Fortll. The registration of Gale Bandy, the Tacoma H+gh school star hurdler, has raised Oregon's hoims In the hurdles to top notch, and should add about ten points to the score for an ordinary track meet. Bandy holds the Pacific Coast inter-scholastic record for the hurdles. However, he will not have It all hts own way as Nolen and Fee are men who are “there at jumping the sticks. In the broad jump Johnny Parsons, last rear's conference winner. Is back on the job stronger than ever. Loucks, Boy leu and Sheehan are also all do ing better than 20 feet. With the exception of Pobst all those out for the high jump are old men. Stuller. Hampton and Fee are all good jump ers and are good for places. Benny Williams’ protegee In the pole vault haven't done anything but form work us yet. The only thing to worry over Is "J. Pluv.” The men cannot get Into shape on a muddy track. GEOLOGISTS TO ! SURVEY STATE ° i GAME COMMISSION, FEDER AL BIOLOGY SURVEY, AND U. OF 0. JOIN MUSEUM IS NOW POSSIBLE Prof. John Bovard Says That During Summer Specimens of All Kinds of Animal Life in State Will Be Gathered. “The University of Oregon in con junction with the State Game Com mission and the Federal Biological Survey, will make a complete biolog ical survey of Oregon during the next summer,” said Professor J. F. Bo vard, yesterday. “As a result of this survey, we expect to secure speci mens of everything that creeps, flys, walks or swims in the state.” Professor Bovard stated that such a survey has been contemplated for the last ten years but for various reasons has fallen through. Five years ago W. L. Finley of the State Game Commission, became interested in making a survey of this kind. Several weeks ago the Federal Biol ogy Survey wrote the University pro posing to make a Biology survey of Oregon this summer. Through the efforts of Professor Bovard the three parties got together and agreed to make the survey. Each member of the agreement will send parties to various sections of the state to gather specimens. All varieties of animal life will be collected and at the close of the survey the three par ties will exchange specimens. By this method the entire state will be covered and a complete selection for each party secured. me nuaru oi negenis nas ap propriated a sum of $1500 set aside in order to finance the University’s end of the undertaking. The State Game Commission, at the present time, has a party in Eastern Oregon collecting specimens. The University has sent A. C. Shelton up the Mohawk to collect specimens in that territory. These parties will continue with their work from now till fall. The Federal government will join the work in the early part of the summer. “We are expecting great results from the survey,” continued Profes sor Bovard. “I believe it has not been attempted before. If things turn out as we expect the University will come into possession of an ex cellent collection of Oregon’s animal life. Not only do we expect to have a museum suitable for show pur poses, but also a good working mu seum." Yale University, March 12.—Al umni University day, which was in augurated on February 23, proved to be an even more important innova tion than had been expected. Some where in the neighborhood of 150 alumni from various centers in New England and from New York spent a day Inspecting the university equip ment, attending classroom exercises, conferring with the faculty, under graduates, and heads of departments, and in general making an Informal study of the university. The unqualified success of the first Yale Alumni University day makes certain its continuation as a | fixed annual function and ns the chief activity of the Asoclated New England Yale clubs. Cornell University, March 12.— V new publication at Cornell is the Cornell Chemist. The publication is not really new, for three volumes have been circulated in the form of mimeographed slnM'ts. But with Volume IV the Chemist appears as a neatly printed magazine. The Janu ary number contains 24 pages. Cornell University last year re ceived the largest additional endow ment of any college in the country— $4,638,928. This amount included the gift to the medical college of $4, 350,000, representing the transfer lo the university of funds producing the income which had for years been paid by the same anonymous donor.

A student board of health has been organized in Columbia University to improve eating houses and restaur ants near the university. Just to prove that their manual training is of^the practical sort, the boys in the Nesquehoning, Pa., pub lic schools have erected a domestic science building. Cornell’s course In citizenship, of fered this year for the first time, Is attended by over 200. The course consists of fourteen lectures dealing with the relation of the citizen to the community. Men actively engaged in civic and social work have dis cussed schools, recreation, health, immigration, poverty, crime, labor problems, housing, politics, the church, city planning and the press. The course is under the direction of the department of political science, and university credit is allowed. Nearly 4 0 per cent of all Pennsyl vania students eligible to compete are engaged in some form of extra curricular activity. This proportion is probably as large as can be re turned by any of the large universi ties, but considerably smaller than that at some of the colleges. The to tal number of men who are trying for teams of one kind or another is 1,327. Of all sports, track is by far the most popular. It claims 301 supporters. Crew, baseball and football follow in the order named. The four non-athletic interests to gether attract only 206 students, with the publication and the musical clubs in the lead.

Senior Play Fri day Night. Junior Prom and Lecture Saturday Night. The parade of athletes will begin Junior Week End program Wednes day afternoon, May 6. Bert Jerard says this parade will be lead with a band, and will be composed of auto mobiles loaded down with athletes from all over the state. Wednesday and Thursday after noon baseball games will' be played. Thursday night the Senior play will be produced. The Oregon-O. A. C. track meet will take place Friday. This is also University day. Saturday the inter scholastic track meet, between all the high schools of the state, will be held. The Junior Prom will take place Saturday night. A canoe festival was planned at first, but Jerard says this plan will be given up because of lack of time. Jerard says that he hopes to plan some other entertainment Saturday night for those that do not dance. This will probably be a lecture by Bill Hayward. The parade and the lecture the same night as the Junior Prom are both ovations, in the Junior Week End program. With the completion of the chimes fund at the Ohio State University, Freshmen next year will probably have the opportunity of being called to class by the booming notes of bells across the fields. The chimes fund has been growing for eight years, each graduating class leaving its con tribution to swell the total. It is es timated that the chimes will cost ap proximately $10,000. The present difficulty is to find a tower to house the bells. Orton Tower has been talked of, also a campanile by the Board of Trustees of the University.
