t OREGON EMERALD VOL. XV. EUGENE, ORE., SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 No. LXXVII. FANS AWAIT TRACK NEWS VARSITY ATHLETES SHOULD GIVE U. OF W. CLOSE RUB TODAY. OREGON HAS FAITH IN “BILL” Squad of Thirteen Men With Hayward in Charge, Will Put Up Strong Fight in Seattle This Afternoon. William L. Hayward, director of athletics at the University and cham pion track coach of the Northwest, left Thursday afternoon accompanied by Oregon’s track team consisting of thirteen men for Seattle, where they will meet the University of Washing ton in a dual meet today. The men composing the team* twelve only of which are allowed to enter according to a conference ruling, are Captain McConnel, Loucks, Cook, Hei denreich, Fee, Boylen, Parson, Stuller, Nelson, Payne, Langley, Hamstreet, and Bandy. An extra man was taken along as Bill is not acquainted with Washington’s strength this year and was undecided as to what events he wanted to enter his men. While the meet is conceded to Ore gon by local sport enthusiasts, the out come of track meets are always a mat ter of concern and not always to be banked upon. This was well illus trated in the recent Oregon-O. A. C. meet, which Oregon walked away with by a good margin of i5 points. Be fore the meet the betting was not strong on either side and the odds in favor of Oregon were based large ly on Hayward’s known ability as a track coach which has been so well demonstrated in this section of the United States since his arrival here. Bill’s ability to take track meets has become a tradition at Ore gon and the year that Oregon loses in track is the exceptional, but very few defeats being handed him. This year’s prospects were the worst that Oregon ever had accord ing to Bill himself but that fact could hardly be ascertained from the demonstrations which have been shown so far this year. He has a habit of marshallingxhis forces in such manner that Oregon always comes out on top, and it will take a fast team of exceptional men to beat him out. Handicapped in many events this year and unable to start the season on time, Bill, from the time he put on the little white hat, which al ways means that work has started in earnest for track men, has been working. His men have stood by him and the showing made this year thus far has been a welcome sur prise but one of Bill’s usual stunts to the supporters of Oregon’s sport enthusiasts. The returns from the meet will not be received until late tonight but Oregon is confident and the opinion that it will take some breakers of world’s records to win the meet from Oregon and Bill. CIRLS WILL BE SNAPPED Women’s Gym Class Pictures to be Shown Commonwealth Day Photographs of all phases of phy sical o training, including dancing, sports, and gym drills, are being tak en this week, in preparation for ex hibition at the Commonwealth con ference. It is probable that the pic tures of the canoeing class which were taken last year will have to be used. It has not been possible to get any this year’s class. The anthropropriety classes are working upon statistics of the girls’ measurements, weight, height, and lung capacity. A report will probably be ready by Commonwealth Day. Michigan has eighty candidates out for baseball. JOURNALISM STUDENTS UET ELECTION RETURNS Local Newspapers Praise Work of Embryo Reporters Who Helped in Work. Students from the Journalism de partment of the University handled the election returns for the local news papers last night and the reports from the offices of the publications show that the students did efficient work. The men on the jobs watched the polls and rushed the results to the of fices over telephone and by means of automobiles. The office work tabu lated the results as soon as they were filed and the results were placed at once on the Associated Press wires, and were megaphoned to the crowds surrounding the offices. The Register said regarding the work: “Every member of the volun teer staff did efficient work; none of them ‘threw down’ the job, and for their work the students will receive credit in the journalism department.” A number of the students continued their work through the night and were still working this morning. Several got home in time to get breakfast and then returned to complete the work. WASHINGTON WINS IN DUAL SPUMING CONTEST Morris and Jaureguy, Repre senting Oregon Put Up Strong Fight. Oregon lost both contests- in extem pore speaking and oratory to the Uni versity of Washington Thursday night in the city of Portland, where the contest was held. Vic Morris, a junior in college, and Nicholas Jaureguy, a freshman, were Oregon's representatives, while Fred A. Woelflen, of Washington, repre sented that institution against Mos ris. Woelflen spoke on “California and the Near East,” and Morris, who lost, had the subject, “The Moral Aspect of War; a Factor in Shaping Codes of National Honor.” In the extempore contest, Robin Welts, of Washington, defeated Nich olas Jaureguy, of Oregon. Both speakers discussed the Panama Canal and unemployment in the Northwest. The Oregon speakers were both handicapped, as Morris had intended to use the speech which he had pre pared to use at the Mohonk confer ence this month and found out but a week before the contest in Portland, hat he would be unable to make use of it. This meant that he had to write a complete new oration Jaureguj also had but eight days to prepare his speech, as the specific subject which he was to speak on did not arrive until late. His debate work here also in terfered somewhat with the prepara tion of his speech. The vote was two to one. The prize in each contest was $50. Morris leaves Monday for Mohonk Lake, New York, where he will repre sent the University of Oregon in the big inter-collegiate conference, which takes place there the last of this month. Morris was successful in cap turing the prize in oratory over the representatives from seven or eight other colleges in the Northwest, who competed for the prize and was se lected as the one to make the trip. Morris intends to remain in the east for the remainder of the summer, vis iting friends and relatives and will not return here until next year. At that time he will take his examinations. A report from Chicago states that Jessup Strang, a recent delegate to the Sigma Delta Chi fraternity con vention of journalists, which was. held at the University of Michigan recent ly, is abed in the Windy City -with a bad case of la grippe. Strang was expected home -within a few days and the news comes ais a surprise. He is news editor of l.he Emerald. J SIGS CAPTURE TRACK MEET SIGMA NU SECOND, AND A. T. 0. THIRD IN INTER FRAT AFFAIR.

A few surprises were sprung when Beach took the mile in 4:62, consid ered fast time for an unconditioned runner and Dick Nelson beat Grout in the shot with a throw of only 36 feet 4 inches.

A burly woman suddenly threw her arms around a Sophomore’s neck while his co-ed companion stood by perplexed. Such was the experience of Joe Kaiser and Echo Zahl as they entered the big tent at the circus last Wednesday night. The two students were making tracks for the reserved seats when Joe suddenly felt two strong arms embracing him, and looking up saw that it was a much painted and over dressed woman. Joe’s companion was so taken by surprise at this attempted abduction of her escort, that she blushingly withdrew to one side, watching with excited concern. The woman released her hold on Joe, and the circus goers went on to ward their seats, realizing that the husky woman was merely a male clown impersonating a woman, and embracing all comers to furnish amusement for the crowd. NAY STAGE BIG TENNIS TOURNAMENT IN EUGENE Conference Racquet Teams to Come if Satisfactory Terms Are Made. All students interested in tennis are requested to meet A^onday af ternoon at five in Graduate Mana ger Walker’s office in the Men’s gymnasium. Committees are to be appointed to take charge of the big tennis tournament which will take place on the campus beginning next Friday. The meet is expected to last over Saturday. At this time teams from five col leges in the northwest will have en tries for the conference champion ship. Until this year, competition has been limited by reason of lack of interest in the sport to Oregon and Washington. This year in addition to the two colleges named, O. A. C., Washington State College, and Ida hq will be represented. The results of the tournament from a financial standpoint will be taken as an indication of the advisr ability of continuing large lnter-col legiate tennis meets. “STAR” REPORTER PRIZE WON BY LESLIE TOOZE Emerald Contest Closes With Willard Shaver Second. Prizes Are $5 and $2. With Junior Week-end the Emerald star reporter contest came to a close, and the winner of the first prize, Les lie Tooze, is awarded first prize, with Willard Shaver, sporting editor on the Emerald, taking second. The prizes for this contest are five and two dollars respectively. This contest was given for the pur pose of interesting the reporters on the Emerald in their work and at the same time giviifg them a hcance to show their ability in covering the campus for news. The marks given to the contestants were awarded not only on the quantity of stuff handed in, but also the qual ity and the manner in which the copy was ‘turned into this office. These points were all taken into considera , tion. Using one hundred per cent as the basis of marking the stories, the sto ries turned in by the contestants which gained the two highest marks, averaged about fifty-five points. One hundred points on a story would make it necessary for the reporter handing it in, to write a perfect story accord ing to the requirements of the Emer ald. This system is the one that is used in the local Journalism depart ment. As practically all the reporters on the Emerald have regular beats and OAC. SWAMPED BY VARSITY NINE IN TWO GAME SERIES FIRST CONTEST, 4-2, WAS PITCHER’S BATTLE 7 INNINGS AGGIES BLOW UP IN EIGHTH Welch Pitches Steady Ball for Oregon. Anmmsen, M. Big bee and Welch Get Hits Off Williams of 0. A. C. In the first game Welch, pitching for Oregon, and Williams on the mound for O. A. C., battled for sev en innings with the honors slightly in favor of Williams. Then came the fatal eighth. O. A. C. scored in the first half on a pass issued to Williams who took second on boot’s out, Cornell to Nelson. Sinclair was safe on Cornell’s error and, then Williams scored on Sei bert’s single. Globe and Robbins filed out to Bryant and the side was out. With the score 2-0 against them —for O. A. C. scored in the first on a walk, a sacrifice, an out and a single—tihe Oregon rooters rose en masse and cried for a score. Williams became nervous, passed Motschenbacher, allowed Buck Big bee to single and passed Lyle Big bee who went in to bat for Nelson. Welch hit into a double play, Morgan to Seibert to Goble, but Motsie scored on the play. The rooting of the Oregon supporters was too much for Wlilliams and he passed Cornell. In an attempt to catch Buck Bigbee off third Weller made a bad throw and Buck registered. 'Score 2 all. Wil liams then Issued his third pass in the inning to Skeet Bigbee. With two on, two down and a score tied, Fenton stepped to the plate. Every one prayed for a hit but Fenton grounded to Morgan who fielded the ball perfectly, but he overthrew first and both Cornell and Skeet Bigbee tallied. Score Oregon 4, O. A. C. 2. This was all the scoring but it was enough to win the game. The score: Oregon: 123456789 Hits. 01100001*3 Runs.00000004*4 O A. C.: Hits.1000101104 Runs.1 0 0 0-0 0 0 1 0 2 SMALL THEATRE WILL BE pART OF NEW BUILDING Drama League Adopts New Flans. 250 Will Be Capacity. Plans for the new administration building were changed by the Drama ^ague at Its meeting Thursday night. The alteration provides for a small auditorium with a seating capacity of 250. This auditorium will have a stage well fitted with stage scenery and foot-lights—be a small theatre in fact. The dramatic and music de partments of the University plan to use the auditorium for recitals and readings, and practice work. It will also serve as the only medium sized lecture room on the campus. The Drama League also decided to have a large platform erected before the grandstand in Kincaid field for the Commencement week play given annually by the class in dramatic interpretation. these two winners especially, Tooze on administration, and Shaver on sports, stories handed in which should have been covered on their beats, did not receive as many points as they would have otherwise. Tooze won the con test largely on account of his turning in stories which were not included on his beat. Lenora Hansen is visiting at the Gamma Phi house.

C. on the local grounds ended In a complete rout of the wear ers of the orange.
