TWO GAMES WEDNESDAY
WHEN SEMI-FINALS BEGIN
Oregon Club Tossers Organize;
Drill Changed to Give More
Time for Play.
In a game that had good and bad
baseball mixed in about equal propor
tions, Sigma Chi administered a sound
trouncing to Kappa Sigma yesterday
afternoon by the one-sided score of 1U to
1. Virgil Alexander was the particular
luminary of the engagement. Alex
pitched a one-hit game, striking out
nine in the five innings and smashed out
•a single.
The first two innings smacked of
big-league ball. Alexander turned the
first three men to face him back to the
bench on strikes. Also Fox kept Sigma
Chi spikes off of the initial sack. In the
second the Kappa Sigs loaded the bases
on walks to Fox and Mason and Lough
lin's base on account of being hit by a
pitched ball. Alex settled down then,
nabbing Fox at home and retiring the
next two up.
Masterson reached first on an error in
the third, stole second and scobed on
Jack Elliot’s sacrifice hit.
The Sigs came back and here the fire
works started, Sims doubled, Kennon
and Leonard got on through misplays
and Clubb hit bringing in the first two.
Alexander singled, cleaning the bases
and later scored himself on an over
throw.
The Kappa Sigs went out in one-two
three order in their half of the fourth,
but not so the Sigma Chis, who were
not content until eight more tallies were
marked up. A medley of errors and hits
accounted for the massacre which ended
with McCready’s four-ply swat.
Strowbridge got the only hit for Kappa
Sigma—a long three-sacker as lead-off
man in and the game was over.
The Oregon Club held a meeting after
drill yesterday to get a team together to
enter the league. If they are success
ful, they will meet the winner of the Fiji
Faculty game in the semi-finals.
Wednesday a double-header is on tap.
The Faculty and the Fijis will play their
postponed contest and Sigma t hi meet
the Delts in the semi-final round. Delta
Tau and the Dorm also have a game to
be played before Thursday, for the win
ner of their game is scheduled to play
the winner between Sigma Nu and A. T.
O. on that date. The change of the drill
hour will permit two games a night to
be pulled off until the schedule is brought
up to date.

TRUNK FOLLOWS CALLER

PRANK FLUSTERS NELSON
^ ^ ^ ^
BETAS FEEL NEGLECTED
When Carl Nelson went calling Sunday
afternoon he hadn’t really intended
changing his address entirely. The Gam
ma I‘hi Betas are a nice hospitable sort
but they hadn’t the slightest intention
of adopting him as a permanent house
hold fixture. But. alas for Carl, the fel
lows down at the Beta house couldn’t see
it that way. They figured that he spent
more of his spare hours on the corner of
Thirteenth and Alder than he passed
under the fraternal roof on Twelfth
street. So they took the most logical ac
tion one could expect. They carefully
packed all of Carl’s belongings in his
trunk, locked it, and called for the ex
pressman to take it where it would be
of more use.
Thus, it came to pass that a strange
trunk found its way to the «>amma 1‘lli
porch and thus it happened that one
Carl Nelson parted with some small
change in coaxing the expressman to re
turn his goods and chattels to the hous
from whence they had come.

MAKING GUNS ON CAMPUS
Wooden guns to be used in military
drill are now being manufactured on the
campus. It was first planned to let the
contract to a lumber mill, but later
campus production was found to be more
economical. One of the carpenters em
ployed in the care of the buildings with
an assistant, has been putting out about
100 mock rifles each day. The entire lot
will probably be ready for use in drill
before the week is over.

Concert In Etna Opera House? Sure!
Girls’ Glee Club Goes to Creswell
(By Nell Warwick)
The party left at 7 o'clock, nine ma
chine loads of it. It was the girls glee
club on its way to Creswell to give a
concert in the Etna Opera house, Friday
night. They got a good start, Melba
Williams and Ed Shockley racing the
entire thirteen miles. Melba won.
The crowd which attended the concert
was large and applauded generously and
according to Manager Jerome Holzman,
the trip was entirely worth wdiile finan
cially.
The same program was given at Cres
well as was given at the home concert
two weeks ago with the exception of a
change in soloists, Dean Italph Byman
singing instead of Miss Eeah Perkins
At the concert trouble began. In the
first place the bonfire in the Indian
scene refused to burn. The fuse burned
out and then the globe burned out but
finally after ten minutes delay the fire
burned brightly and affairs proceeded.
This number was laudly applauded by
the audience.
After the concert the club, accompani
ed by the automobile drivers and Miss
Hazel Rader, went to the only lunch
in t..wn fur a feed. Such a large
crowd was evidently unheard of, for
there were not enough dishes. Soup
bowls, tin pans and even paper plates
.were pressed into service, and after the
cups gave out, bowls of all kinds were
used for coffee. All this trouble how
ever, did not dull the appetites of the
songsters, for they ate long and with
great relish all that was set before them.
After the lunch was consumed, the
party went to the garage for the cars,
but alas, some town joker had tampered
with the carburetors of several of the
busses. The local garage mechanic dived
into the gasoliney depths to see what he
could find. While busily engaged in tak
ing the engines apart, the midnight bed
tolled and the city was in darkness.
Lights go out at twelve in Creswe'.l.
Matches from then on served as lights for
the mechanic. Feminine shrieks issued
from the onlookers who expected to see
their chances of getting home go up
through the roof at any minute. All but
Ituth Westfall’s machine were at last
made runuble by the garage man and the
club proceeded on its way, one of the
good machines towing the broken down
one. On the way home the monotony
was broken by a blow-out and several
punctures and the rope which was doing
tow duty breaking every mile or so. The
club arrived in Eugene in small sections
at intervals from 12:30 to 1:30 a. m.
A. R Tiffany, Dean Lyman, Ed Shock

Myrtle Tobey Margaret Spangler, Melba

PRE-MEDICS SHOULD STAY
Word From National Defense Urging
Students to Complete Work.
Word was received here Monday from
F. F. Simpson, chief of the medical sec
tion of the National Defense, urging pre
medics students not to enlist, as a con
stant supply of medical officers will he
needed in case the war should last for
years.
The letter reads: “In the present na
tional crisis a continuous supply of ade
quately trained medical officers is ab
solutely essential for the maintenance of
armed forces in the field. It would be
folly for this country to prepare for the
immediate emergency alone—we must
face the possibility of the war lasting for
years. It is, therefore, the patriotic
duty of all college students intending to
study medicine, to remain under in
struction until the country can avail it
self of their trained services.
“Medical schools are in a sense, ‘mu
nition works’ necessary to produce train
ed medical officers for the army and
navy. All graduates are urged to se
cure a hospital training which the sur
geon’s general of the army and navy con
sider essential for their arms of the
service."

Tregilgas and Sheehy Probable
Candidates for Associated
Presidency.
LACK OF ENTHUSIASM
SHOWN SAYS JAUREGUY
Three Juniors Enter Lists for
Emerald Editorship; Two
Desire Secrearyship.
With student body officers to be nom
inatod at tomorrow morning’s assembly,
rumors have begun to circulate as to who
the candidates will be. The rumors are
even more definite this year than form
erly. Prospective candidates are unwill
ing to make themselves known as such
beforehand, but insistent reports have
made various names prominent.
Two candidates for the presidency of
the Associated Students are practically
certain. Harold Tregilgas and James
Sheehy. Tregilgas is circulation manager
of the Oregana this year, junior member
of the Student Council, and treasurer of
the junior class. Sheehy waa president
of his class as a sophomore, is an “O”
man in base-ball and is sports editor of'
the Emerald. Itay Couch is a probable
candidate for the vice presidency. Couch
is a junior member of the Student
Council.
Leura Jerard, another junior member
of the Student Council, and Emma
Wootton, editor of the 1918 Oregana,
have been mentioned as candidates for
secretary. Threo juniors have entered
the field for the editorship of the Emer
ald; Harry Crain. Adrienne Epping and
l>e Witt Gilbert.
Jeanette Calkins and Joe Denn, rivals
for manager of the Emerald.
Helen Brenton and Harold Newton
have signified their intentions to run for
editor of the Oregana.
Possible candidates for the Executive
Committee are Charles Dundore and Don
Roberts, but this list will undoubtedly
be added to before the nomination* take
place. Martha Tinker and Lillian Littler
will probably enter the field for Student
Council members as competitors with
others who will make their candidacy
known later.
Nicholas Jaureguy, president of the
student body, in commenting upon the
coming nominationse said, “This year an’
unpardonable lack of enthusiasm Is be
ing shown by the students and especi
ally by the underclassmen. I think every
student who has special ability along
these lines should run for some student
body office.
In addition to the nominations, an
amendment to the constitution will be
brought up tomorrow morning. It pro
vides for giving the Executive Committee
the right to vote by a four-fifths vote
any motion of any council requiring an
appropriation. At present any of the
councils can vote uny appropriation which
it deems necessary. The proposed amend
ment vests considerable additional power
in the executive council and adds to its
responsibility.
