MUNITIONS SIZZLE Three Try for Presidency; Stoddard and Hamstreet Vie for the Emerald. 12 GET JOBS WITHOUT FIGHT Jennie Huggins and Echo Zahl Enter Lists for Hot Struggle for Secretaryship. Things began to sizzle and smoke as goon as the annual student body nomina tions started yesterday morning in Vil iard hall. Before President Lamar Tooze had finished saying, “The nom inations for next year’s student body president are now in order,” three nom inators began to ascend. Cloyd Daw gon got there first with Walter Dimm and Bob Bean as close seconds. Mr. Dawson 'being recognized by Pi esident I Tooze, proclaimed the prime requisites for a student body president. “He must be a mixer,” said Mr. Daw gon. “Ready to mix with outsiders as well as with students, for a president is called upon in many circumstances. JJAlso, he must have executive and or ganizing ability. Most of all he must (hare a capacity for getting the maximum amount of work out of the men under him. I nominate Robert McMurray.” Walter Dimm got the floor second and after declaring that the highest qualifi cations for a student body president, was that he 'be a good student, nominated Martin Nelson. “Last semester, Mr. Nelson received 12 hours of SI,” said |Air. Dimm. “He is our champion half mile^ and in his Freshman year he was president of the class. The principles that Nelson stands for in student body government are: Faculty advice and equality of students. He favors inter collegiate and condemns solely intramural athletics. He believes in sophomore rep freeentation on the student council.” The third person to get the floor was Bean. “I am no orator and will not attempt speeches like those who pre ceded me,” declared Mr. Bean. "I think that Nicholas Jaureguy, in virtue of past records, is the man for the join, and I nominate him.” The hottest contested position after that of student body president has al ways been that of the editorship of the Oregon Emerald. There was no variance from this tradition this morning. Though theTe was no rush on the part of Henry Howe and Max Sommer, who nominated Milton Stoddard and Harold Hamstreet, respectively, to get the recognition of the president first, there was a keen edge of political competition in their speeches. This is what Mr. Howe said: “During his first year, Mr. Stoddard was a re porter. In his second year, he was a feature editor and he would have served again this year if he had not been editor of the Oregana. Moreover he is partic ularly qualified for the position on ac count of his literary ability. If he is elected, he will introduce a cartoon sec tion in the Emerald and other new fea tures.”' HeTe is the way Max Sommer nomi nated Hamstreet: ‘The editor of the Emerald holds one of the most important positions in the student body. Jin editor needs not to live in pseudo-poetic at mosphere, in fact, such men do not usually make good editors. What that person needs is good, common manager ial sense, combined with newspaper abil ity aDd training, and Hamstreet has all these qualifications. There is only one harder position on the Emerald beside the editorship and that is the managing editorship, which my nominee holds at the present time. Elect Hamstreet to the editorship and you will have the best fOMible Emerald next year.” The remaining offices to be filled and fhoae who were nominated to fill them &ei Vice-president of the student body, Braest Watkins and Loren Roberts; sec retary, Jennie Huggins and Echo Zahl; executive committee, two to bo elected, Roland Geary and Jack Elliot; manager ’of the Emerald, Howard McCulloch; edi tor of the Oregana, Emma Wootton; maanger of the Oregana, Creston Mad 'dock; athletic council, to which three are to be elected, Dick Nelson, Johnny Beck ett and Orville Montieth. Three Senior men are to be elected to '—' .OP jag* ,iogr) *y Co-ed Ball Teams Will Play Friday FLrst^Ctame of Baseball Series Scheduled at 4 Between Tri Belts and Thetas.

Wi Mul nomah dub of Portland meeto the Varsitr next Saturday afternoon on Kin caid f of the schedi led according to announcement of A. R. dope Tiffany last night. What has the iheet figured out? Mul :nomah will bring an eleven man team ’omposed of Loucks and Huggins, well known varsity runners of last year, Ilunin ray, I’hilbrook and others of equal fame. The c were firsts ub met O. A. C. last Saturday and defeated 75 to 55, although eight were taken. O. A. C. won on the strength of the seconds and thirds an- j nexed place are t|. A. C ey ran featec comes shouli. Beldiii: quart > of the woulc Howe while showh vallis tury of his tury is be eld for the first dual track meet season. This has been definitely el. Holman, the pole vaulter, Mur Considering the club journeys to Oregoa next Saturday with an aggrega tion composed of stars good for a first and nothing else, then the chances at Oregon can duplicate what O. did. Last Saturday Admiral Dew the mile for the club and was de by Coleman in slow time. If he Saturday with Huggins that mean two places for Multnomah, g and Langley have been training for tl e mile on the local lot. In three rs races Langley has been able to outdiftance Belding, but in the opinion coach in the full distance Belding take the lead in the final stretch, rer, Belding has not been advancing, his faining seemingly at a standstill, on the other hand, Langley has well considering the fact that he has bleen out for only a short time. Lo lcks was the big sensation at Cor last Saturday, winnining the cen ind 220. The way Loucks gets out holes this year has made him a een mnn to be feared. He negotiated the distance last Saturdey in 10:2, which ter time than any Oregon sprinter out dan do in the opinion of coach Bill Hayv ’ard. But the old men know Loucks and if they use their heads Oregon has a chance to head into first place with Peacock or Westerfield leading. The 220 may as well be conceded Louc ts, for there is no one in the north west that can touch him in this event. The 220-hurdles will be raced between Humnel and Muirhead. This should be one < f the prettiest races of the day be cause Hummel has been making great prog: ess in the low sticks. Goreczky will be the other Oregon entry in this even . He has never run in the event but lias great chances of making good. The 120-high hurdles will be Tun be twee i Muirhead, Fee and Hummel and will probably end in the order named. Hid Loucks trained for the quarter this ceded to him, but to judge by his appear ance that that A wick been the event might just ns well be con at Corvallis he has not trained. In case Oregon should lead straight through. The half mile should be taken by M|artin Nelson, varsity halfmiler. How Martin has not been showing well, laTgtliy due to illness that kept him from trair|ing early in the season and the fact he is a late one to round into shape, first is due from “Bosco” Bost in the two mile event. Bill has priming Bostwick for a long dis tanc s man for three years, but each year mckskins were his Jonah and made him j perambulate around the course on his rteTve. But he has at last come into his [own and is showing gobs of speed. The; weights will undoubtedly go to Multinomah, although Callison is showing welljfor Oregon. Bartlett is getting the discus out in good form but has not been able to get the necessary lift onto it yet. Fee will have some competition in the pole’rault but on the strength of his show ing at the Far Western meet he should be Jible to beat Holman all right. The high jump is a question. Murphy for the club cleared the bar at six feet Satur day while the best Moose Muirhead has been able to go in practice was 5 feet 7 inches. But Moose has been known to exeTt himself under similar handicaps and come out winner, so the fans can pass this up and trust to luck. And luck will enter into the broad jump for Oregon has not a safe and sure entry in this event. The dope sheet says Oregon will win but by a close margin. The officials of the meet will be: Stafter, Dr. Stewart; timers, Bean, Shockley, Prof. Ayer; judges of the fin Smith, Winger, Dyment, Morton; ish, field judges, Williams, Mitchell, Kyken dall Brown; marshal, John ,Beckettt,^ High School Meet Plans Are All Laid System Inaugurated Promises Successful Affair for Satur day of Junior Week-End. ■■■ -1 ■ s What promises to be one of the most successful interscholastic track meets pulled off on the Kincaid oval will be staged this year during Junior week-end. Under the new system inaugurated this year for the first time, the visiting teams must pay their own expenses, the re ceipts at the gate being divided among each team according to the number of men entered. This means thnt each and every high school will hesitate and make sure of its material before it sends a team for competition. In other words, no half-baked high school athletes will flaunt their colors on Kincaid and call themselves “stars.” ; Entries will begin to arrive within the next few days. Already Joseph over in eastern Oregon has written and an nounces it has a man in whom its con fidence is placed. His name is Foster and he will compete in the 100 and 220. Roseburg and Astoria have written and announced their interest in the meet. The Portland high schools are backing it and the valley towns are showing loyal support, according tp messages received by A. R. Tiffany. As usual the meet will take all of Sat urday of Junior week-end, the prelimin aries will be run off in the morning with the finals in the afternoon. Prospects are now that there will be between 80 and 90 competitors. In the way of en tertainment everything will be thrown open free to these visiting athletes, and a special attraction is to be added. Im mature plans have it! that Saturday even ing a stag affair will be held at a theatre down town where Coach Bill Hayward will hold forth with moving pictures and a lecture in explanation. The pictures will be of athletic events. CADETS PLAN PARADE Battalion May March Junior Week-End if Sufficient Progress Is Made Tomorrow Night. The Armory hn^i been promised by Colonel C. C. Hammond for uninter rupted use by the University cadets to morrow night. Drill for both companies will be held. If sufficient progress is made, the battalion will march in the Junior week-end parade, May 12 and 13. Captain Paul Bond, of the national guard, has offered his services in help ing to whip the men into shape for the occasion, and, if desired, he says, the cadets may carry arms which belong to his national guard company. Captain Kingsbury, of “B” company, has posted his orders on the military bulletin board in front of Deady hall, and will take active command tomorrow night. Captain Kingsbury has seen con siderable experience in the regular army and is a fortunate find for the Univers ity cadets during the present period of temporary formation. Both captains ex pect to retain theib present office next year only until student officers can be trained to a high enough degree of effi ciency to fill the positions. Considerable rivalry is being shown between the two companies as to which one can secure the largest number of new recruits and the steadiest attend ance. Steady interest is now being shown by over 70 men, and there is no doubt but what the military movement is a decided success in the University. Plans for placing it on a more permanent basis are being held up until the passage in its final form of the army bill now be fore congress. When this is passed, the status of the national guard will be finally settled, and also definite esti mates can be made as to the advisabil ity of compulsory drill in the University. Drill tomorrow night will be from 7:30 to 8:30 in the Armory. According to the orders posited, the non-commis sioned officers will be expected to be able to instruct their squads correctly in the school of the soldier, and in the school of the squad. They will also be required to be proficient in the accurate giving of commands. HAS OFFICIAL PIGEON SHOOTERS.

Varsity Moves'STep Further Toward Conference Bunting, By Winning One of Two Games Friday and Saturday Team Goes Soutlv to Meet CaOLfor nia lor Coast Championship. By getting the jump in the early stage of the game, Oregon playing true to her late top-notch form, nosed out O. A. C., 6 to 5, Tuesday afternoon, in the opening game of the crucial series on the Cemetery Ridge diamond. Close to 500 fans and fanettes saw the battle ifchieh furnished them with enough thrillsi and surprises to last a week or more. It was essentially a spectators’ game with just enough hitting and errors mixed in to keep the final issue in the uir un til the Inst Aggie batsman was retired in the ninth inning. After O. A. C. had scored in the open ing frame on errors by Cornell and Grebe and Siebert’s single, the Varsity . went after Pitcher Doolittle with all the sav agery of a flock of wolves attacking a helpless sheep. Maison started the ,swat fest with one down by poking a Texas leaguer over first. Cornell on a hit und run play scored Maison with a terrific two-bagger, just inside the third, base line. Nelson went out on called strikes, but Huntington knocked Anse across with a beautiful drive over shortstop. Medley counted Huntington with a long threc sacker to Tight. Captain Loof jerked Doolittle in the second, Sieberts coming in from tbjird to occupy the mouhd. Grebe greeted him with a safe poke through secon}! and stole second while Risley was fanning out. Hheehy scored Grebe and w^nt all the wny to third when his single got through the legs of Center Fielder Bald win. He registered a minute la^er on Maison’s sacrifice fly to center., Shee hy brought the count up to 6 iln the fourth inning when Maison drove |iiin to third with a single after he waSj given a life on Seeley’s error. He scored on the throw to second to catch Maison stealing. i witn tne score o to j. in rue vnTsuy s favor, both players and funs alikfe took it for granted that Oregon had the game stowed away. However, the Aggies waxed dangerous in the sixth and by bunching three scratch hits along with two sacrifices they rnng the bell' three times. With two down in the following inning, Goble singled and Baldwin drove him in with a long drive to right center that went for three baggs. This jvns nil the scoring for either team, although Oregon threatened in the seventh and eighth. The score: O. A. C. AB II II I Seeley, 2d, 8d.. 4 Morgan, ss.. Goble, 1st..

Charge ^featjto,^oUttle.^mpii%Xjra,yBo% >J Tho Varsity moved a step further to ward winning the conference bunting bunting Wednesday afternoon when they trimmed the Oregon Aggies, 10 to 2, in the second game of the two-day series. Scoop Rathbun, on the mound for the lemon-yellow, pitched a masterly game throughout the entire nine stanzas and kept the seven Beaver hits well scat tered. Doolittle walked six Oregon batsmen besides hitting five and was as wild as that far-famed boy from Borneo. The Beavers threatened to score in the first and second innings, but Seeley, after working his way around to third in the first, was cut down in tho prime of his life, at the plate, on a perfect throw from Nelson to Huntington. Goble and Sieberts singled in succession in the second but Rathbun tightened and retired the next three batters with ease. Baldwin, the slugging orange and black left fielder, drove in the only Aggie runs on his long three-bagger to right center. It was Baldwin’s third three-base hit of the scries. Spurred on by the two-run lead of Captain Loof’s men the Varsity went after Doolittle with a vengeance in their half of the third. Maison walked, and Cornell was safe on a fielder’s choice. Huntington was hit by a pitched ball, which filled the bases. Amidst the cries and pleadings of the bleacherites, old “Rip Van Winkle” Medley strode to the plate with his willow fishing pole, and without a semblance of nervous tension, cracked one to his liking far into center Held, clearing the bases. Risley had previously scored which brought the count up to four. Medley s blow completely unnerved Doolittle, for Oregon came right back in the fourth and fifth and sewed up the game with six runs. Sheehy belted across two tallies in each of these frames and Captain Cornell followed suit by driving in the other four. Besides Medley’s heart-breaking punch Cornell, Rathbun, Huntington, Maison and Nelson disported in the theatric light. Cornell’s hitting and base-run ning, along with Rathbun’s steady pitch ing, plus some fine catching and throw ing by Shy Huntington, and some bril liant fielding by Maison and Nelson sent the Aggies home without a single part ridge or side of bacon to fill the "old hunting saok." The final two games of the series will be played in Corvallis Friday and Satur day. A win for Oregon on either day will carry with It the northwest confer* cnce championship for 1016. Score: O. A. C.
