Few who had not already announc ed their candidacies for student body offices in last Saturday’s Emerald were nominated during the Assem bly hour this morning, but enough new names were brought forward to insure a close run for all te posi tions with the exception of vice-pres ident of the student body. For this office, only one candidate, Bert Lom bard appeared, and unless another aspirant is placed on the ballot by petition before next Wednesday, he w’ill have a clear field. Oratory Is Profuse. The nomination speeches were long winded and flowery, and the session took up nearly two hours. During this time the speakers demonstrated that a large proportion of the Uni versity students are distinctly above the average mentally, and in business and executive attainments. The past life of every nominee was laid bare by bis sponsor, and every detail not ed was brought out as an evidence of marked ability. Election of officers will take place next Wednesday in Villard Hall be tween 10 a. m. and 2pm For president of the student body, Thomas Boylen, ’15, of Pendleton; Fred Hardesty, ’15, of'Astoria, were nominated. Both Boylen and Hard esty have been prominent in student body and class activities.

Both are members of the stu dent council. Bert Lombard, ’15, was the only nominee for vice-presi dent.

The 4-1 score indicates that the game was more than back-lot ball for both Dudley and Rathbun had plenty on the ball and their support was better than previous Doughnut pitch ers have received. Dudley, the Sigma Nu pitcher, re tired eight men by the ozone route and Rathbun gets credit for seven strikeouts and only three hits were registered during the five innings, Fiji hitting twice and Sigma Nu once. The features of the game were the calling of strikes by Umpire Nelson and the ubiquity of Larry Mann and his lengthy cut of “star.” The following girls report at the Women's Gymnasium at once and sign slips indicating the sports you are taking and whether you will be in the Pageant or not: C. Armstrong, W. Bent, M. Bertsch, M. Brown, A. Carson, H. Qarter, C. Cartwright, M. Churchill, L. De vaney, H. Downing, L. Fenton, I. Garland, E Gurney, C. Heissler, F. Johnson, L. Ladd, M.

The chorus in the “Prof, and the Soph” will contain 16 men and 16 women, who will sing some new and beautiful songs. Every song is a song-hit. There are 15 musical numDers. The play, written by Dean Collins, is laid at Oregon and is breezy and enjoyable from start to finish. The cast, carefully chosen, and drilled by Prof. A. F. Reddie, is in shape for a star performance. Mrs. K. S. Munra, Grandma Mun ra, was a guest for luncheon at the Gamma Phi Beta house on Tuesday.

TRACK STARS COME DUAL MEET WITH AGGIES FRIDAY TO BE HOTLY CONTESTED OREGON HAS SLIGHT EDGE Chance for Taking Relay Makes University Team Look Good to Supporters. Will Get Even Break in Other Events. (By Willard Shaver) Bill Hayward has been putting his men through severe training the past week to get them in as near per fect shape as possible for the dual meet with O. A. C. that will take place on Kincaid Field Friday after noon. The track is already fast and barring the interference of the weather man some of the track events will be keenly contested and records will go. O. A. C., who was defeated in this meet a year ago, by an almost 2 to 1 score will show a team that will rub Oregon close and although the odds favor Oregon the result of the meet will likely remain in doubt until the last event is run off. The Aggie representation that entered the Cali fornia meet last week was strong and upon just such men as placed O. A. C. third in the Coast meet, is “Doc” Stewart relying to pull him a first in the dual meet. llotli Have Good Men. Reynolds, the Corvallis star half nriler, is looked upon as a winner, although Nelson, Bill’s Frosh, will give him a close race. The sprints will go to the Aggies if Johnny Bak-' er is in any kind of condition and the quarter should he taken by Loucks1 and McConnell. The hurdles remain in doubt but Oregon should place first in the mile, high and broad jumps, and javelin. Heidenreich will fight it out with Cole for first in the discus and Cook will have to beat Johnson to take the shot. The relay, with Loucks, Nelson and McConnell as three sure quarter milers, and such men as Elton, Boy len and Fitzgibbon to draw from should easily be Oregon’s. Results Are in Doubt. Just what Stewart’s men, beside Reynolds, Cole, Johnson, Baker and Kadderley, can do remains to be dem onstrated. me uregon entries are: Mile— Payne, Langley, Pack; shot put— Cook, Heidenrelch, Grout; high hur dles—Bandy, Pee, Pobst; 100-yard dash—Lake, Boylen, Hamstreet and Westerfield or Sheahan; javelin— Telford, Cook and Pee; 440-yard dash—Loucks, McConnell, Elton, Fitzglbbon, Bull, Nelson; high jump —-Stuller, Pee, Pobst; low hurdles— Bandy, Boylen .Hamstreet; 220-yard dash—Boylen, Lake, Sheahan, Loucks, Westerfield; broad jump—Parsons, Boylen, Nelson, Cook, Sheahan, Stul 'er; half mile—Nelson, McConnell, Loucks, Tracer; 2-mile—'Payne, Langley, Pack, Bostwick, Holt; dis cus—Heidenrelch, Cook, Runquist; pole vault Fee, Watson, Watkins, Miller; relay—Loucks, Nelson, Mc Connell and either Elton, Boylen, Fitzgibbon or Bull.
