Neither has he recently come from a prolonged stay at Salem although either of these might be suspected from the lack of hair which is disclosed whenever Avison meets a co-ed. In reality, Avisop only had the misfortune to belong to the Sig ma Chi team which went down to de feat at the hands of the Fiji nine last night, and lost his hair in conse quence. Before the game Bob Fitzmaurice and “Botts” Avison wagered their hair on the outcome of the game and a pair of clippers was provided and placed in readiness for the op eration. When the final inning was over, “Fitz” was discovered endea voring to escape from the field, but was recalled and forced to do the shearing. * In a few minutes Avison had a tonsure that would have done cred it to a Dominican. Now he has an nounced his intention of wearing a skull cap to hide his premature bald ness. * COMMITTEE DECIDES ON COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS Pres. M. A.

TRACK SQUAD CULLED BY HAYWARD FOR POINT , WINNERS. NO DOPE ON WASHINGTON Fast Time Is Expected When Payne McClellan and Clyde Meet in the Distance Events Next Saturday in Seattle. (By Willard Shaver) ■'Bill" Hayward is having consid erable difficulty in picking a team to meet the University of Washing ton squad in the annual dual meet which will be held May 1G this year on the Washington campus. Outside of three or four men the Washington team is rather a mystery, hence Bill's uncertainty as to what men to take on the northern trip. Twelve men from each institution will comprise the teams and although eight Oregon men have already been picked to go, the other four places to be filled will remain uncertain until Hayward gets a little more of the Washington ‘'dope.” Eight Men Chosen The men whom Bill will depend on mostly will Payne, Fee, Houcks, Stuller, Boylen, Cook, Parsons and Nelson. From the rest of the squad, that includes McConnell, Heindreich, Sheahau, Langley, Bandy, Telford, Hake, Elton, Bull, Hants tree t and Runquist, the rest of the team that will make the trip will be picked, if the meet can be won without the aid of a crack relay team, more weight men 'will be taken but if a relay team is required to win the meet only sure place men will he taken beside the relay men. Puyne vs. Met iclluim The two mile will be a pretty race between Payne of Oregon and Model-1 land of Washington but as Payne has made better time in this event than has his Washington opponent the odds are slightly in favor of Payne. An early report from the Washington, training camp states that the North erners have three men who can do the quarter around 52 and it this report is true Loucks may have to run his best to win this event. Stuller should have very little competition in the high jump, as he has repeatedly done over 5 feet ten in practice. Un less a few dark horses appear Boylen should take the sprints taking into consideration his remarkable show ing against Baker last weak. Cook, being a consistent 4 1 foot man in the shot, will run any of his oppon ents close in his event, and Fee should place in both the hurdles and the polo vault. Parsons looks like an almost sure first in the broad jump and if Nelson can duplicate his work of last week he will make the half in teresting for Clyde. The mile will go to Clyde if he is in good condi tion and Edmunds should take the discuss. Bill and his team will 1; ave for Seattle Friday night accompanied by Graduate Manager Walker. ooooooo.ooo oo ooo 3 Torch and Shield announces o the initiation of the following o men. o' Claire Henderson a Carson Bigbee o John Schafer o Charles Parcel 1 o Karle Becke o Robert Hays o "Robert FMtzmauriee o Hug Lieuallen o Cecil Cobb o John Elliott o Paul Hendricks o o 0 0 o I o I o I o o o ° o I o j o o 3 James Lake o o Leo Malarkey o o Floyd Payne o o Ernest Williams o o Richard Nelson o o John Telford o oooooooooooooooo OREGON MUST HUMBLE O.A.C.

C. places conference ball in an interesting position. Oregon’s chances for winning the conference rag lie in her ability to take the Aggies into camp and Bez dek’s hopefuls will have their first chance to prove their mettle when the Aggie squad will appear on the local campus next Friday and Satur day. Oregon Team Ready Hard luck and a little ragged field ing were responsible for Oregon's first defeat but the second game was clearly Washington’s from the start. However Bezdek has taken advantage of the errors that were responsible for defeat and when Wilkie Clark and nia team appears Oregon will be pre pared for a battle royal. Oregon fans will have a chance to see a real league umpire work in a college game, for Walker will import Jimmie Richardson, last year indi cator holder for the Tri-State Lea gue, to \york in the two games with the Aggie team. Welch Probable Opener Ilezdek will probably send Welch in to open the first game and in the second game the Oregon rooters pin their faith on Big Bill Tuerek. The rest of the Oregon lineup will be the same as in the Washington games. Organized rooting, or ‘chatter’ will greet the O. A. C. baseball team, when it hooks up with the varsity nine. The University band, and some sort of parade will open the confer ence “world's series”, which accord ing to Coach Bezdek is the crucial test for the Oregon team. To assist the rooters, Manager Walker agreed this morning to a request of Dutch Young, varsity yell leader, for at least two additional cir cus seats back of the catcher and screen, if this increase in the seating facilities can be provided there will be room for all of the varsity rooters back of tile home jilate. There will be little attempt at giv ing the varsity yells, but an effort will be made to maintain a steady stream of encouragement directed at the Oregon team. Coach Bezdek be lieves that this "chatter” is a great help, especially in starting rallies, and in pulling the team out of tight places. An effort will be made to obtain several automobiles for the pee-rade before the game. A tour of the cam pus and the immediate flraternity neighborhood will probably be made before the game to secure a big at tendance. Professor Joseph Shafer, of the 1 niversity, will deliver the com mencement address at the Oakville high school on Friday night. From there he will go to Williams in Josephine county, twenty miles from Grants Pass, where he will give a talk at a meeting for consolidated rural schools at that place. Carl Houston is visiting at the Sig ma Nu house. WHY A DRESS SUIT WHEN THERE ARE PEDGE PINS? A. T. 0. Man Uses Novel Means to Avoid Conforming to Custom. A now use for a pledge pin, usual ly considered an article of adornment tor “preppers”, was introduced at the Junior Prom by a college grad uate who was visiting at the Alpha Tau Omega house during Junior week end. The visiting Alpha Tau was in Eugene as coach of a high school track team and fully intended leav ing Saturday evening. However the Junior Prom proved too much of an allurment. Without a dress suit and, with none available in town the visitor was stumped. He got in touch with a part ner for the evening however and when the grand marcli started Sat urday evening, “lo and behold" the A. T. O.’s had a new pledge. He sim ply left his fraternity pin behind and1 witli a pledge pin in the buttonhole of his "best" blue suit and acted the part of a high school visitor.
