M. Friday. Baseball fans are looking forward to a screeching game tomorrow at 1:00 p. m., when the Oregon faculty meets the Oregon Agricultural facul ty. Professor F. C. Ayer is nursing his favorite arm, and feeding it on linament, preparatory to winning the game via the whiff-’em-out route. From all reports—and the faculty is prolific in reporting—Oregon is to be represented by an all-H. team, which is the term for all-star in the intel lectual world. The game resulted from a challenge from the Aggie faculty to Dr. Dallen bach, requesting that three games t>e played between the two teams, one on each campus and the other game to be decided later. Until a few days ago the first game was scheduled for May 18, but, wishing to add to the Junior week-end celebration, the fac ulties consented to show their ver 1 satility by playing before the visit ors. The next game will probably be played at 0. A. C., May 18, the an nual drill day. The Oregon faculty has also been invited to a banquet at Corvallis following the game. "Look out for your hats, we’re go ing around a curve.”—Don Orput, as Tod Warrington, in “Jeanette’s Way ” BIG PARADE HERALDS JUNIOR WEEK-END Pageant Exhibits Features of Annu al Fest and Symbolizes Events Junior Week-End was formally opened yesterday afternoon by a monstrous parade of automobiles, headed by the University Band and carrying the baseball and track teams. Ray Stanton and Carl Naylor were the distinctive features of the proces sion. Naylor was enticingly dolled up as a dancing girl, escorted by her partner, Ray Stanton. They gave street exhibitions of the one-step and fox-trot. Orville Monteith and Jack Dolph put up a strong plea for disarmament by depicting the horrors of modern warfare. “Monty” presented a grue some spectacle, lying in bed with bloody forehead and pale face. “D" * tor” Dolph marched by his patient’s side reading his pulse and taking his temperature. Ralph Ash and Paul Hendricks vied for honors as the original Charlie Chaplin. Jim Cossraan, fixed up as a pugilist, displayed immense shoul der and chest development. The order of the pageant was as fol lows: Marshal of the Day, Leigh Swinson’s racer, President Campbell and Dr. W. M. Smith, University Ger man Club, Washington baseball team, and U. of 0. track and baseball teams. Most of the autos carried signs call ing attention to the various events of the week, the athletic encounters, water fete and Junior Prom. According to Gavin Dyott, chair man of the parade committee, '-he University is greatly indebted to the Eugene Commercial Club, Eugene bus iness firms and the several private parties who loaned their automobiles. The following furnished cars: Ander son & Pierce, Sweet-Drain Auto Com. pany, Yates Garage, Pacific Auto Company, Buick Garage, J. H. Dan iels, Varsity Sweet Shop, Rev. A. M. Spangler, W. W. Calkins, E. K. Wheel er, Neal Ford, Charles Tisdale and ten other cars furnished by the Com mercial Club. “You smash-a da ba-bee!

The first conference track meet to be held this year on Kincaid Field will see twelve of the Washingti .i ans against twelve of Hayward’s men. Both teams will be handicapped by a slow track. Several men on each team have just returned from the meet in -California and have had t>-y little training for nearly a wee: . The ride on the train will not be vary conducive to fast time. Tomorrow morning about 75 me.i will go to work putting the track in shape for the meet. It is probable that the sprints and high hurdles will be run in the center of the field. The “iron” will again be brought into ac tion and everything possible done to put the track in condition. At Red Bluff, California, the team had a workout in the shape of a tri angular meet. Washington and Ore gon together entered nine men again-* nine men from O. A. C. The Fed Bluff High School was the third en try and succeeded in getting away with the relay. The allies, Oreg i and Washington, annexed 47 pom >•, O. A. C. being second with 23 points. In this meet the hundred yard dash was taken by Stenstrom, of Wash ington, in 10 flat. Kadderly took the 440 in 51-1; Loucks did not enter in this race, but took the 880 in 2 min utes flat; Nelson was second and Rey nolds, of O. A. C., finished third. In the mile the men finished, Hobgou , Dewey, Huggins and Payne. The time was 4.31. In the shot Cook took first with a put of 43.7. Cole, of O. A. C., threw the discus 137 7-5. “Bill” Hayward officiated as announcer and was vary particular to give the track pedigree of the rival teams. “I don’t know who will represent Oregon tomorrow,” said Bill this af ternoon. “We are going to have a good workout today and then I can tell more about the lineup for to morrow.” The following officials will have charge of the meet tomorrow: Referee—George Hug. Starter—Dr. Kuykendall. Clerk of Course—Merlin Batley. Announcer—Gene Good. Judges of Finish—Prof. H. C. Ho ,v>», Dr. Bennett and Professor Dymen^. Timers—George Hug, Ed. Sh <ck ley, Robert Telfer. Scorer—Fred Dunbar. Field Judges—Dobie Garrett, Bill Burgard, Boyce Fneton, Bill Snyd r. Marshal—Clark Burgard. PREPPERS WILL REGISTER AT Y. M.

Mo r head, as Mrs. Bryant, in “Jeanette’s Way.” OREGON NIPS THRILLER IN LATE TWELTH HOUR AIR-TIGHT PITCHING AND SPEC TACULAR CATCHES MAKE 2 TO 1 GAME UNIQUE JIM SHEEHY BREAKS HOODOO Lyle Big bee and Bill Tuerck Pitch Redeeming Ball Throughout the Battle By Harry Kuck. Airtight, pitching, spectacular catches, nipped rallies, Junior Week end showers, and all kinds of thrills were thrown into the game between the Varsity and Washington yesterday afternoon, which Jim Sheehy broke up in the last half of the twelfth in ning, when he singled sharply through short, scoring Gorman from second base and sending a whole bevy of ex cited fans home to election returns and old suppers. Besides Sheehy, the central figures in the Oregon victory were Ans Cor nell, who handled seven chances with but one skip at shortstop, and the two pitchers, Bigbee and Tuerck. Lylo , was thorough master of the situation for seven innings. He allowed but two hits, one an infield scratch, and struck out seven opponents. His curve ball was breaking square off. Ih the eighth it rained. Lyle could not control the wet leather and walked the first man. The “umps" called time for fifteen minutes and sprin kled saw-dust on the mound and in the catcher’s box. The game was re sumed. Lyle hit the next batter and Coach Bezdek yanked him in favor of Tuerck. | Two sacrifices scored Washington’s only run of the matinee, and after that Bill was never in danger. He didn’t allow a hit in four innings, and his single in the twelfth aided mate rially in registering the winning tally. The fielding feature of the matinee was a beautiful backward running catch by Taylor in deep center field of a terrific blow of Buck Bigbee. Smoky Bryant was on the rubber for Dobie and pitched brilliant ball. He got into trouble in the fifth frame by walking L. Bigbee. Sheehy got the first real hit of the day and Lyle went to second. Both moved up a peg to second on “Skeet’s” sacrifice. Washington made it one all in Ore gon’s fatal inning, the eighth. Both teams went out in one, two, three or der in the ninth and tenth and Tuerck retired the visitors on four pitched balls in the eleventh. The eleventh spasm loomed big for Bez’s boys. Cor nell grounded out but Dick Nelson knocked one a mile a minute between right and center field and “drew” into second before the natives recovered. Buck Bigbee hit to second and Dick rambled to third and tried for home on the throw but was caught by a rod. Then came the joyful twelfth with Philbin, Tuerck and Sheehy. Oregon put up the best fielding game of the year, bungling but two hard chances and cutting off possible hits. The game was the longest witness ed on the local diamond in four years. “Bez” is sending Lyle Bigbee back against Washington this afternoon and Dobie will probably rely on Murray, a Freshman recruit. The box score follows: Oregon: AB R H PO A E Sheehy .6 0 2 5 0 0 C. Bigbee .2 0 0 0 0 1 Cornell . A 0 0 16 1 Nelson .5 0 1 12 1 0 M.

M. C. A. Indus trial committee toward the office. “Of course,” he continued, “such classes are necessary in some estab lishments but here with our few acci-” and he stopped. A work man with pain-drawn face, entered holding up his hand on which two of the fingers had been crushed. A brief examination by the super intendent and the man was sent up to the office to be attended with the aid of the meagerest equipment by the of fice boy. The superintendent, his reluctance overcome by the incident, now readily gave his consent to the organization of the classes in the mill. This was one of the experiences on countered by the industrial service committee composed of John II. Rindge, industrial service secretary on the Y. M. C. A. International com mittee; John A. Goodell, Industrial secretary for the Northwest, and Charles Koyl, secretary of the Uni versity Y. M. C. A., during their in dustrial survey trip among the mills and plants of Eugene last Friday. NISON SAYS PROM WILL NOT BE AGONY Chairman of Junior Dance Committee Decries Prevailing Opinion that Crowd Will be too Large “What is the matter with the spir it about the Junior Prom?” is the question being asked by Bothwell Avi son, the Prom chairman, as the re sult of an investigation made this morning. “Why is it being held an event for only preppers, when it is undoubtedly the biggest student social event of the year?” Avison called all the sorority hous es, to ascertain how many of the mem bers have been asked to attend the dance, and found that only 60 or 65 couples from the whole campus have made arrangements to be there. “There is a mistaken idea about this event,” he said. “Everyone thinks that the floor will be over-crowded with visitors, that dancing will be im possible, and that therefore the Uni versity people should stay away. “But if all the visitors should dance, with the 65 pairs already promised, the total would be only 150 couples. At the Freshman Glee there were 300 couples. At the Freshman Glee the orchestra took up a big space in the center of the floor. At this dance the orchestra will be out of the way in the balcony.” Avison has figured out that since the number of visiting track men hao been restrcted this year, and since, in addition, the larger floor space will be available, there will be plenty of room for the most speedy dancing. J ‘There are three facts concerning the Junior Prom that I want every one to know,” said Avison. “They are,” he continued, “the price, the registration, and the time. The price is $2 for absolutely everyone ex cept the preppers. No prepper shall receive his ticket of admittance un less he himself calls at the Y. M. C. A. between 7:00 A. M. and 3:00 P. M. on either Friday or Saturday. Ab solutely no tickets will be given after these hours, nor can they be obtained by proxy. “The time is 8:30 sharp.
