Monday to Open Eugene Display Week;
Houses Dismiss Meetings to See Windows
(by Earl Murphy)
Those who wait until Easter Sunday
to blossom forth in their best bib and
tucker will find that their efforts will
Tesult in an anti-climax for Eugene will
have its Dress-Up AVeek April 1-7, pre
ceeded by Window-Display Week begin
ning Monday of next week. This then,
say the merchants of the city, is the
time to don your best and join the
throng of window-shoppers.
The week of special displays will be
opened Monday evening at 8 o’clock
when every merchant who has a win
dow large enough to hold a display has
agreed to prepare his window for the
occasion. At the appointed moment all
of the street lights will be turned out,
the city will be in darkness for several
moments and in that interval the veils
which will have been hung over the win
dows of the business houses during the
day will be quickly drawn aside and the
competing displays will be exposed to
the view of the judges and the citizens.
The co-operation of the student body
as a whole has been eagerly sought by
the window dressers and the merchants,
for it is felt by these business men that
the assistance of the University people
should be given at this time because of
the sacrifices that the merchants niada
for the monster celebration after the
California victory of last fall.

and permission will he given the fresh
men girls to have dates the same as on
a week-end night. This will give all the
school people an opportunity to get into
the spirit of the affair and back the
merchants.
The University and Municipal bands
will combine on Monday night and will
give concerts at various corners in the
business section immediately after the
windows have been unveiled. These
will be repeated on different corners
until late in the evening.
The windows will be judged on both
the artistics and s lling points and a
prize cup will be awarded to the window
which is the most attractive, and an
other to the set of dndows which wins
the favor of the judges. These cups
are donated by the Itegister and Guard.
The judges are to be G. It. McAuslan,
of the University School of Commerce,
C. J. Fulton, of the Brownsville Wool
en Mills store, and A. H. McDonald,
manager of the Rex Theater.

Daily Downpour Lessens Pros
pects for Varsity Team;
Coach Still Hopeful.
Foster, Boylen, Mulkey, Hod
son, Brown Turn Out as Can
didates for Frosh Squad.
Unless the continued downpour censes
in the near future, Oregon is going to
have an aquatic team rather than a track
squad. Saturday, Coach Hill Hayward
gathered his athletes together and laid
down sundry rules for training, but all
the rules he can think of are not going
to be of any use if the men ean't get
out to practice.
The break in the elouds last Sat
urday brought ont a multitude of run
ners. sprinters and hurdlers of all de
seriptions. Under Mill’s orders every
one was kept busy working away at
some event or other. The season
seemed nicely under way and then Mon
day it started raining and hasn’t let up
for longer than .’it* minutes since. The
covered shed, which was abandoned last
week in favor of the outside track is
again doing duty and bids fair to be
used for some time.
The attention of sill the men i now
centered on the relay games to be held
in the armory at O. A. C. the evening
of April 7. While the relay races are
the main features on the program, there
will also he sprints, hurdle races ami
some field events. The list of intercol
legiate events includes: one-mile relay,
two-mile relay, 75-yard high hurdles,
75-yard low hurdles. The open events
are: one-mile relay (eight nietH. 75
yard dash. Id pound shot put, pole vault.
~trigh—jtttttT’—tend—hr md—lmn;i lies des
these will he a special one-mile relay for
college freshmen.
Coach Hayward is intending to take
a team to Corvallis but the number of
men has not been leeided upon. Fresh
lueu also will he taken provided they
show enough form.
Among the frosh who appear to he
worthy contenders • .r plates are Fos*
er, ltoylen. Midkey ami Wilson
m the spriuls; llodsou in the quarter
X
and half mile and Brown in the ahot.
Foster is the lad - an John Day high
school who finished second in the 220
in the interscholastic meet last Junior
week-end. The other three have also
prep school records.
Hudson's specialty is the broad jump, j
but he can do the middle distance runs
in fair time also. He has jumped over
21 feet in high school competition.
Brown is putting the shot out in good
form and with coaching ought to reach
JO feet.
The illness of Mrs. Hayward has pre
vented Coach Hayw. rd from giving his
squad any attention the past week.
BISHOP HUGHES TO SPEAK
Methodist Church Dignitary to Appear

odist Episcopal church of the north
west, will speak sit the University ves
