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.

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.

ATHLETIC PARADE
STARTS PROGRAM
TWO OVATIONS PLANNED
POE JUNIOR WEEK
END
CANOE SCHEME GIVEN UP
Baseball Games for Thursday
and Friday. 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.
