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

vention of journalists, which was. held

morning for the Sigma Chis by taking
30 out of 38 points that his team reg
istered. Bryant placed in every event
he entered and took 4 firsts, 3 sec

Competition in the sprints and hur
dles was keen and heats had to be
run in these events. Lack of condi

lete and although all but a few who
were entered were not in training,
some of the races were fast.
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.
Ribbons were given to all men who
placed, and the silver medal for indi

A cup also goes to first place.
A delegation of Thetas, and two
Chi Omegas composed the grand

COLLEGE COUPLE PARTED
TEMPORARILY AT CIRCUS
Clown Dressed as Woman, Em
braces Joe Kaiser at Cir
cus Performance.
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

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.

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.

with O. A. C. on the local grounds
ended In a complete rout of the wear
ers of the orange. Jud Moreland
was found In the first inning of the
game and as the innings advanced
the strike fest being indulged in by
the Oregon swatters came to such a
climax that O. A. C.’s infield was
unable to see or stop the balls. The
game was the poorest exhibition of
college ball sb far as 0. A. C. Is
concerned, seen for some time. *
Oregon scored In the first oh an
error and passed ball and continually
hit the ball while 0. A. C. continually
succeeded In making errors which
proved costly later in the game when
Oregon opened up on the visiting
pitcher. The final outcome consisted
of a complete blow-up In the eighth
when with seven runs already, the
entire 0. A. C. team went out of sight
and Oregon crossed the plate five
times.
