G VOL. XV. EUGENE, ORE., WEDNESDAY - o EMERALD , M£Y 27, 1914. No. LXXIX. HAYWARD IS OPTIMISTIC SEASON RECORDS POINT TO OREGON VICTORY AT PULLMAN TEN MEN MAKE TRIP NORTH Six Schools Enter Teams of 8 Men in Northwest Confer ence Track Meet to Be Held in Pullman Friday. (Willard Shaver) Bill Hayward left this morning with ten star track men for Pull man where he expects to grab the Northwest championship in track. The conference meet is held under the auspices of W. S. C. this year, and eight man teams from each of the six colleges in the conference will compete in what promises to be one of the fastest meets in confer ence history. If all the men who have fairly well established records come thru in the meet Friday on the Pullman campus, Hayward expects Oregon to to win as the majority of the firsts in the dual meets this year have gone to Bill’s proteges. O. A. C. took but four out of fourteen firsts here Junior week-end and at Seattle, Ore gon men annexed eight out of the same number of events. Loucks Should Place. The sprints will probably go to Pullman and Idaho, and the middle distance will have able contenders Louc s of Oregon should show up strong in the quarter and the half will lie between Reynolds and Nel son, with Clyde a close third. The mile will undoubtedly go to Clyde and the two mile to Payne. The hur dles are hard to dope but in case Pee is entered other entries will have to run their best to beat him in climbing the high sticks. Lock hart, McCroskey and Hoover will probably be the point winners in the low hurdles. In the field events all colleges will figure. Stuller and Crane fighting for the high jump, Walters and Parsons being first place contenders in the broad jump and Williams and Smith trying for first honors in the pole vault. The shot will be a toss up between Cook and Johnson with Edmunds runner up and the discus should be taken by Cole, with Heidenreich a close second. The javelin will go to Buck Phillips and its a gamble who will take the other places in this event. Track Season Successful. With three dual meets safely tuck ed away and the possibility of the conference meet going to Oregon, the track enthusiasts feel that this season has been one of the most suc cessful ones that Hayward has ever had. Considering the fact that but five of last year’s letter men appear ed thife spring at the first track call more is the glory to Bill Hay ward for turning out a near cham pionship, if not a championship team. The men who made the trip and from whom Bill will enter an eight ma nteam are Telford, Loucks, Nel son, McConnell, Payne, Stuller, Par sons, Fee, Cook and Heidenreich. That the University of Oregon is in some ways a Christian institution is shown in a recent report by Char lie Koyl, in which he claims that twenty-two otherwse promising youn twenty-two otherwise promising youn twenty-two otherwise promising young graduates have either entered the ministery or are connected with Y. M. C. A. organizations. The list, headed by Koyl, includes the names of many prominent former students, now scattered throughout the United States and foreign coun tries.

VAUDEVILLE BILL STAGED PROSH ACTORS DELIGHT AS SEMBLY AUDIENCE WITH SHOW SEVEN HEADLINERS ON LIST Japanese Songs and Jiu Jitsu Proved Most Original Stunt. Song and Dance by Three Co-eds Big Hit of Morning. (By Edison Marshall) The Freshman class, following the precedent set by other Freshman classes put on a class hour this morn ing that was entertaining from be ginning to end. “F. R. Eshman Vodeveel” was the title of the class hour, and the bill presented corres ponded to a star bill on the Orpheum even to stage effects. After the overture, the first num ber was Fujimakd and Ogasawara in Japanese Song and Jiu Jitsu. Clad in Japanese costume they first sang two songs in their native language. The orchestra accompanied with cymbals, so that a picturesque Oriental effect was given. Then throwing off their silks, the two Japanese demonstrated Jiu Jitsu. They threw each other about the mat without regard for bones or tender spots. The second jrtunt drew four en cores. Echo Zahl, Emma Wjooten and Florence Johnson gave a song and dance that had comic opera “off the map." The song that made the biggest hit was one dedicated to Jack-Vhe-Grab, in which Echo Zahl appeared in rain coat. Mlltou Stoddard's stunt, “Hoot Mon!” a Scotch chalk-talk, was one of the highest numbers. He told Scotch jokes, which few people un derstood, but enjoyed much, and drew pictures of faculty members, Mexican athletes, etc. The Freshman quartette, consist ing of Larry Mann, Clyde Phillips, Robert Langley and Ralph Ash re ceived several encores. They sang in perfect harmony and delighted the audience. “Vode and Veel” by Wallace Mar tin and himself pushed ordinary pro fessional vaudeville of fthe boards. He drew howls of laughter from his entrance to his exit. Lloyd Bayly and Marjory Williams were in the concluding number with the picturesque “On the Old Mill Race.” Seated in a canoe, Marjory Williams singing and Bayly playing a mandolin, they were drawn across the stage. This was the most artis tic and one of the most enjoyable numbers of the program. The committee responsible for the huge success of the program was: Milton StoddarJ, chairman; Bernice Lucas, George Colton, Hannah Fyne, Ralph Ash and Alice Hill. Through their efforts the hour was staged without a hitch. The program is as follows: 1. Overture.The Orchestra 2.
