—Orput Still Hopeful
That the largest crowd which ever
parted company with its hard-earned
to see a college show will attend
“Jeanette’s Way” tomorrow evening
is presaged by the advance sale of
seats.
The recent dearth in college dra
matic productions, combined with the
^ belief that the Seniors have a real
pepful entertainment on the reel, ex
plains the fact that the Junior Week
End audience will be swelled beyond
its usual generous proportions.
Director Don Orput’s crew of art
ful dodgers went through their last
rehearsal this morning, and they will
rest on their oars until tomorrow
evening’s curtain. The red-roofed Be.
lasco expressed himself as being well
satisfied with the work of his disci
ples.
Hendrshott’s orchestra will soothe
the savage breasts of the audience.
The curtain will rise promptly at
8:30.

Police Will See That Drone’s are Kept
On the Job, Says Boyce
Fenton
“Work begins at 8:00 A. M. sharp,
said Boyce Fenton, chairman of tne
University Day committee, which
cleans up the campus by applying dis
cipline to the chronic I-won’t-works.
“Every man named on each commit
tee is requested to be on the job sharp
—report at the place of work. Shortly
after work begins the student police
department will count the number of
hands, and employ drastic methods
to punish tardy drones.
“The chairmen of the committees
can procure the necessary tools from
Mr. Fisher, head of the University
grounds.”
Every man in the Students Body is
assigned to some job tomorrow. The
work will stop at 12:00 M. and lunch
will be served on the campus.
Five thousand summer bulletins
have been distributed throughout the
state and the Northwest. One thou

ALL T BALL TOMORROW
j Versatility of Professors Will Be Dis
played Before WecK-end Visitors
at 1 P. 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.

Events
Junior Week-End was formally
opened yesterday afternoon by a
monstrous parade of automobiles,
headed by the University Band and

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

Floyd Westerfield.
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

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:

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

MAINTAINS FEW ACCIDENTS
BUT EVIDENCE FACES HIM
Local Mill Superintendent Is Con
vinced By Empirical Event That
First Aid Is Good.
“We have had very few accidents
in past years and there is little need
for establishing your first aid
classes,” and the superintendent of a
local mill led the Y. 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. A grand
march, just long enough to allow for
the distributing of the programs, will
