E. W. MURPHY.
The Betas have Leslie Tooze to thapk
for the lone run which he managed to gfet
across the plate Thursday afternoon,
while the faculty was piling up its quota
of 17 scores. At least they told me it
was Leslie, but when in the middle of
the game the two brothers shifted posi
tions, but not batting order, the scorer
threw up his hands. Confusion con
founded. I
Stater, for the Betas, walked Ed
Shockley, the first man up. Later on in
the game, he walked nine others. This
started the fireworks, for the next rqan
up, Ben Williams, got a hit and Shockley
came in on a passed ball. This was one
of the four runs earned by the faculty
because of passed balls on the part' of
Monteith and Stater. I
Records Are Busted. I
There were several records made in
Thursday’s game. In the first place this
was the highest score made so far1 in
the series. In the sixth ining 14 daen
■batted for the faculty and it required
four pitchers from the Beta camp to
serve the balls to the voracious profs.
With a record like that behind them it is
little wonder that the dispensers of
knowledge left the field with heads held
high, even voicing their sentiments, in
cheers. It was a great game!
For the winners, Ayer, Shockley, ‘Wil
liams and Bezdek played the best game.
Ayer did not pitch as good ball as in the
Kappa Slg game, but still he allowed
only five hits and struck out nine men.
Foster, playing third base with the
“Profs.” got badly tangled up with Mc
Culloch when the latter tried to steil in
the first inning. “J. D.” held onto I the
ball, however, and “Me.” went to [ the
bench.
Monteith was the hardest working man
for the losers, if appearances count for
anything. Stater’s out was too much
for eight of the faculty men and ”I|ted”
got the scalps of that many profsi on
strike-outs. I
Nothing quite like the sixth inning hns
been seen in these parts for some time,
according to old residents of Cemetery
hill. Of the 14 faculty players who bat
ted in that frame, eight were credited
with fair hits, three walked and one got
on bases by an error on Edwards. 1
The way the teams stood up to bat
was as follows: Faculty, Shockley, c.;
Ben Williams, 1st; Hugo Bezdek, j2nd;
Fred Ayer, p.; Smith, c. f.; Foster,!3rd;
Granger, ss.; Mitchell, 1. f.; Winger, r. f.;

Oregon Team Enters 0. A. C.
Meet Next Week in Un
known Strength.
Rain yesterday and today so moistened
Kincaid oval as to make the scheduled
meet between Oregon and Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club, of Portland, im
practicable. The chance Coach Bill Hay
ward was looking forward to this after
noon of lining up his men has been lost.
The outcome of the meet would have
given a good comparison between Ore
gon and the Aggies. There has been no
chance to compare the twoteams since
the far western meet and as that was
early in the season and the Oregon men
had not been in training very long not
much could be accomplished in the way of
comparison.
The unsettled weather of the pnst
month has been a handicap to Hayward
and his men. At times the track is in
running condition while at times it is un
der water. This breaks in on the train
ing and the good of consistent work is
lost.
The men who are showing up to ad
vantage at present are Fee, Muirhead,
Nelson, Langley, Belding, Wilson, Bost
wick, Wester field, Thompson and Pea
cock. Fee is working hard every night
with his long list of events. In the pole
vault, javelin, shot put, high hurdles,
discus and broad jump the versatile cap
tain is after as many points as he can
possibly get. Muirhead is plugging after
the high sticks and the high jump. Moose
hns not been able to reach the mark in
the high jump that he did in the Cor
vallis meet on April 1.
Martin Nelson is beginning to round
into condition for the half-mile. Nelson
has been on the sick list all spring and
has lost considerable training. Brunkow
and Atkinson are also doing hard work
on the 880. In the quarter there are
Staub, Wilson, Thompson and Warner.
Warner is a new man nt the running
game but he has the build of a comer.
Thompson is showing much promise in
the 440, but Staub is not coming up to
expectations.
There is only two men in the mile,
Langley and Belding. Bolding is work
ing hard but does not seem to be able
to get into form while Langley is com
ing up in great style for the length of
time he has been out. The two mile
event will fall on Bostwick and Wagner.
In the long grind Wagner has been stead
ily improving and before the season is
over should make a showing.
The sprints and the weights are Ore
on’s weak spots, especially since Har
graves sprained his ankle during a work
out recently. Hargraves was going good
in the 100 and 220 and broad jump. It
was while working on the jump that he
turned his ankle. Peacock and Wester
field are digging in on the sprints as are
Burgard, Harris and Brock, but none of
them have been able to cut down on their
time. In the shot put, Calllson is work
ing hard for form. Once he masters that
he ought to be able to heave the 10-pound
ball with any of them. Bartlett is show
ing up best in the discus but is lacking
in distance. Among the freshmen out
for this, Nygren seems the most prom
ising.

Accosted ‘Visitor’

Oub Reporter Encounters Sup
posed Portlander and Se
cures Wonderful Story.
Assigned to interview some Portland
er on the Ad club excursion ns to his at
titude toward the University, a fresh
man “cubess” started out on her mission
of pourparler yesterday afternoon.
Wending her way across the campus she
encountered a gentleman whose carriage
bespoke to her a Portland dignitary.
She accosted him thus:
“Are yo\t from Portland?” He an
swered, “Not directly, madam.”
Then growing confiding she told of her
assignment and then pseudo-profession
ally bombarded him with questions.
The “dignitary” was quite loquacious.
Yes, indeed, he thought the University
would expand and most certainly tho
University needed appropirations. And
would he like to see more money voted
the University? Yes, assuredly yes. And
so on, ad infintum.
With pencil and paper the reporter
wrote and wrote some more, her face
beaming as she thought of the wonderful
story she would turn in. With the little
pad full, her arm tired but her face still
beaming this reporter wont on her way.
Chuckling Dean E. W. Hope, of the
law school, watched her depart.
COEDS Plir BASEBILL
First of Suffrage League Games Gives
Wins to Trl Delta and Mary
Spiller.
The Miliry Spiller girls defeated the
Kappa Kappa Gamma indoor baseball
team this morning by one run gained in
the 7th inning when the score stood 14
to 14. The 15th run for the Hall girls
was earned by 0. Hees, who drove a
single through right, bringing in F. Ba
ker, who had advanced from first on an
error by J. Purdy. F. Baker crossed the
home plate four times for the Mary Spil
ler girls out of five legal times at bat.
The game was featured by heavy hit
ting on both sides, 14 hits being allowed
by Louise Bailey and 13 by Grace Edg
ington of Mary Spiller Hall. Errors
came thick and fast and unrecorded
boncheads without which the score would
have mounted to the skies, should be
charged against those who failed to take
advantage of the glaring oportunities to
score. The Kappas batted around in the
first and ten Mary Spiller girls batted in
the fourth frame.
The batting order follows: For the
Kappas: J. Purdy, 1st; Alva Wilson, R.
S. S.; Dorothy Wheeler, If.; Louise
Bailey, p.; Lucille Meaner, 3rd;
Vera Van Schoonhoven, r. f.; Dorothy
Robertson, 2nd; Con Cartwright, c; Dor
othy Flegnl, 1. ss. For Mary Spiller Hall;
Helen Anderson, 1. ss.; E. Campbell, r. f.;

T FI I DELTS VS. THETAS.
Better heudwork combined with more
consistent playing, won the first game
of the Co-ed indoor baseball series fester
day afternoon for the Tri Delta by a
margin of two points over the Thetas.
Score, 9 to 7. The Thetas threw the
ball nwuiy a good many times, due to lack
of directing, while the Tri Delt girls
managed to keep their heads in almost
every close play.
Bernice Lucas, first “man” up for the
Thetas, got on by a pretty blngle through
right to shortstop, and scored on a drive
through left by Helen Delano. One of
the bad breaks of the game was in the
third inning when, with G. Childs on
third, J. Driscoll attempted to steal to
the number three bug. The hall was
fielded by the pitcher and thrown to third
but Driscoll was back to second by this
time. With the ball tightly held in her
hand, Laura Miller pitching for the The
tas, allowed Childs to steal home. Dor
othy Childs caught a good game for the
Tri Delta, while another Chlld-s held
down first.
The teams 'were, for the Tri Delts:
Gladys Childs, 1st b.; Joe Driscoll, right
short; Agnes Driscoll, 1. f.; Olive Risley,
r. f.; Mary Murdock, left short; Louise
Leiter, 2nd b.; Lita Rhoades, 3rd h.; Jen

"Oh! Gloom. Oh! Gloota!”
Amid moanings and incantations the
old bug-bear “Gloom," which for so
many years has thrust itself upon the
University in the nature of state appro
priations and non-co-operation, was
burned in front of Friendly hall yester
day afternoon by the members of the
Portland Ad club.
It was a nameless, (shapeless thing
carried in a wooden coffin that bore the
inscription, "The Annual Appropriation
—Gloom.” A procession bf black garbed
figures followed it. Dr. R. M. Emerson
murmured the last words and soaked It
with gasoline. Then he lit it.
While the flames were rising the JKd
club quartet sang their Oregon Booster
song and “Gloom” wept out of Uni
versity history forever. ;
Chester Whitmore, the first president
of the Ad club, planted a rose in token,
of the "hope” for better co-operation
in the future and as a pledge of the
“sweetheart” bonds between the Ad men
of Portland and the students of Eugene.
After the ceremony the students con
ducted the visitors over'the campus and
through all of the larger buildings, ex
plaining the class of work carried on and
the completeness of thel various depart
ments. i |
It is rumored that a freshman—a ma
jor in .Tonrnalism—in his eagerness to
get a story for his teacher, rushed mad
ly up to a man and said: “I am So and
So. How do you like I our University,
etc.?” only to be met with the response:
“Why, I am the profelssor In this de
partment."
Escorted by the students and tagged
by the “57" varieties from the Journal
ism department, the Ad.'men made a tour
of the campus and endeil up at Guild hall
where the Woman’s Glee club gave a
musical program. The University band
played on the steps of McClure hall be
tween three and four o’plock.
After an afternoon on the campus the
Ad men adjourned to the First Metho
