TRACK TEAM TO GET Pompf-BUT Seven Men to Meet Northwest Amateur Athletes at Indoor Contest Friday. ^HAYWARD TO GO WITH TEAM Muirhead to Have Benefit of Bill’s Experience; Three Enter Sprints. Several of Coach Bill Hayward's var sity track men will receive their first chance of the year of competing for the University on Friday evening in the Ice Hippodrome in Portland. A meet between the northwest college and runners has been scheduled for that date and Oregon will enter seven more at least. Work on the cinder path has been pro gressing in good style since “Moose” Muirhead arrived on the scene and the men are rapidly rounding into shape. Al though the ex-Oregon athlete has been taking charge of the men. Coach Bill Hayward is spending a little time in coaching from the sidelines. He is still too weak to do any of the actual coah ing, but has been giving a number of pointers to the aspirants. Foster Depended On for Points. Three men will be entered in the sprints acocrding to present plans. “Flank” Foster who made such a record for himself in the inter-company track meet last year will set a fast pace for all contenders in the 100 and 220-yard events as well as the hurdles. He also will be good for more than 20 feet in the broad jump. Foster Is Hayward’s best bet and should annex quite a num ber of points in the meet in Portland. Uow Wilson as well as being a sprint er, has been trying his skill at the high jump and pole vault. He will enter these two as well as the hurdles and probably the 220 event. Lloyd Still has also been making the other sprinters put forth ^ their utmost efforts in the short distance events, lie will also enter the jump “vents. Montague for Middle Distance. Only one man will he sent to Portland is representative in the middle-distances, lack Montague has been chosen for this department. He will make the best of them go to defeat him in the 440 and SSO yard runs. Dwight Parr and Bill Lyle, both Soph omores, are the most likely candidates in the mile run. Both of them are to make the journey to Portland. The seventh man on the squad will be Albert Runquist who will compete in the weight events. The husky Portland lad has been doing fine work in the field work and should make a good showing against the best of them. Meet to Be in Evening. A strange thing about the coming meet is that it is to be held in the evening in (Continued on page two) Col. Leader and Prof. Casw&l! Inspect Site for It. Three Acres North of Skinner's Butte Thought Most Desirable. Colonel Leader and Professor A. E. Caswell inspected a site for a summer camp of about 3 acres north of Skin ners Butte on this side of the river yesturday afternoon and found it very desirable. The camp site they think will he most available is between the old lumber mill and the sand and gravel plant. Light, power, and telephone service are con venient and good water can easily be piped in. Across the river, it is plan ned to have a rifle range. The camp has the added advantage of being close to the University, so that if present plans work out so that the camp will be established here during the time of summer school, men can attend the camp and take some clas ses in the University also. No definite information has been ob tained yet as to the number of men who will be admitted to the camp, the exact date, or the length of time it will last. •>ix weeks has been suggested as the probable duration of the camp. Colonel Leader will be commandant. SENIORS ro TAKE VOTE ON EXAM EXEMPTION1 Matter of Petitioning Faculty Will be Issue at Wednesday Meeting; To Discuss Ssnior Party.

TRI DELTA GETS CUP FmClHSTSWi Annual April Frolic Brings Forth Wonders of War to Entertain Big Crowd. Gamma Phi and Hendricks Halt Get Honorable Mention for Stunts. Humorous presentations of camouflage, war gardens, food conservation and other wonders of war were given Satur day night at the annual April Frolic for | women in the men’s gymnasium. Thi Del ta was awarded the Laraway cup as first prize for the cleverest stunt. Almost every woman in the University was pres ent on the floor in costume, and the bal cony was full of townswomen and more sedate members of the faculty. For four full hours the camouflage girls revelled without the sign of a man about to cause discomfort. The perform ance started at seven with a series of stunts arranged by eleven 'women’s or ganizations. “Curious Camouflaged Ca pers” was the name of the Tri Delta stunt, a comedy which showed German spies outwitted by officers of the Uni versity student battalion in spite of clev er German camouflage. Cultivates War Garden. Hendricks Hall was given honorable mention for the realistic portrayal of a thriving war garden, each vegetable in which thrived wonderfully under careful cultivation and sang a little song about its usefulness. Worms were taboo. Gamma Phi received honorable men tion for telling the "Tale of the Fateful Fish,” which ^jifter all was decided by Miss Tingle, Colonel Leader and Econ omy to he the conservation dish. Colonel Leader appeared in this stunt in real Colonel Leader costume, which contain ed Emma Wootton Hall instead of the commandant. Mr. Hoover Appears With Bread. The Alpha Phi stunt called "Victory (Continued on page three) RETIRED OFFICER FOUND FOR HEAD OF R. 0. T. 0. Will Serve as Nominal Commandant: Colonel Leader Will Be Retained. Prospects for an R. O. T. C. in the very near future seem bright for Ore gon. AVocd has been received from the Adjutant General in Washington D. C. that there is an army man who may be available to come here soon as nominal commandant. Colonel Leader will be retained. President Campbell has wired the war department for the qualifications of the man they suggested and has also wired the man himself to learn if he is free at present to come here. If this arrangement works out satis factory, Oregon may have an R. O. T. C. in May, for the matter will be pushed as rapidly as possible, explained Karl Onthanb, secretary to President Camp bell, yesterday. T.’nder this plan. Oregon will not wait for the passage of the Chamberlin bill, which provides that an officer with one year’s experience may take charge of R. O. T. C. in a college, as opposed to the present requirement that the officer in charge must be a U. S. Army man with five years’ experience. WIN BOTH DEBATES 2 to 1 Decision Given Girls from Northern College; Oregon Has Negative Side Here. He.Vst Syndicate Used by An;y Carson as Example of Consolidation. Oregon was defeated at both Eugene and Seattle last uight in the Washing ton-Oregon inter-collegiate women’s de bate. Oregon defended the negative side of the question at the debate in Villard represented by Amy Carson and Eileen Tomkins, and had the affirmative at Se attle where Oregon was represented by Ruth Graham and Marie Badura. The judges in each contest gave Washington a two to one decision. Washington in presenting their affirm ative argument at the debate in Villard hall declared that the "tendency of news papers in the larger cities to combine was a salutary movement in American life” in that it le • to fewer, but larger, more efficient, more independent, more accurate and more complete papers. Old-Time Papers Cited. The old-time newspapers were review ed and the fact that it used to cost little to establish and equip a newspaper was brought out. “But the very fact that newspapers were easily established,” said Ruth Hol land. of Washington, “accounts for the fact that every faction of politics and every clique, corrupt or legitimate, soon had its newspapers serving its particular faction. Everyone had his newspaper, paid it to present facts colored to suit his eyes.” The poor nows service of the newspa pers of the old days was also brought out. This, it was declared, was the nat ural result of the keen competition of the many newspapers leading to poor financial support and consequently to poorly paid and small staffs. A quotation was used that “you can see the trail of the $15 a week man all over the news papers of a few weeks ago. Yellow Journalist Scored. “Yellow journalism was finally the out growth of this keen competitive news paper condition. The paper had to pres ent only the more unusual and sensa tional news—if it could be called news after it had been ‘touched up’ to meet the requirements—in order to obtain readers,” said Miss Holland. Oregon upheld the negative declaring that the consolidation of newspapers in the larger cities was not a salutary movement in that it led to large news continued on page three) BAND TO GIVE CONCERT AND DANCE IN ARMORY Members of Student Body to Appear on Proqram May 3—Men Practice Daily. The military band of the University has arranged to give a concert and dance in the armory on the evening of May 3.

Partners for the senior formal will not be chosen by lottery or by selective draft. The men will be given a week’s grace in which to ask the senior women for dates and if, at the end of the week each woman does not have an escort, she will have the privilege of inviting a junior man to attend the dance.

The spirit of this Elizabethan play of 1608 is being faithfully carried out both as to setting and costuming, which will follow closely the custom of that day. The quaint shepherd and shepherdess costumes will add much to the attrac tiveness of the play. The faithful Shepherdess is a roman tie idyl and is written in verse. Near ly all the characters are shepherds and shepherdesses and interesting complica tions result over their various love af fairs. Hester Hurd will play the title role of Clorin, the faithful shepherdess.

Games Set for Friday and Saturday. AGGIE CREW SLAUGHTERED 15 to 1 Score Due to Good Pitching of Berg, Says Captain Sheehy. With two of the pansies plucked from the Oregon-O. A. C. series flower pot and now resting in the Oregon victory vase, the varsity nine is once again camping on Kincaid field every after noon for long sessions with the horse hide to furnish their efficiency prior to meeting th Aggies for the third and fourth games of the series which will be played on the Cometnry ridge dia mond next Friday and Saturday. The game Saturday was a slaughter. Oregon opened up on Kruger in the first inning and continued the assault until he was driven to the showers in the fourth, following foiur successive hits by Dunton, Morrison, Runquist and “Ice” Berg. Nesbit, who followed Kru ger on the mound, fnrod little better. Kind kept up his slugging and again slammed a home run to right field in the eighth inning. Lind was the leading batter for the series with four safe blows to bis credit out of ten times at bat. 0. A. C. Losos Heart. <>. A. C. lost heart when they saw how the battle was going and failed to fight us well as they had the day before. Berg had them eating out of his hand and let them down with four hits. Both teams fell down in fielding. Cap tain Jimmy Nlieehy was the only man on the team to go without a hit during the series. lie hit several on the nose, but they all went straight at some field er. The fact that Oregon was aide to trounce the orange and black men for a 3 to 3 and a 15 to 1 victory is tby no means a signification that the var sity has the series won, according to Captain Sheehy. Oregon won Satur day's tangle chiefly through the inex perienced pellet heaving of the two Ag gie moundsmen, Gurley nnd Ncsbit, and the good pitching of Berg. The Aggies true form showed on Friday, says Cap tain Sheehy, when with Coiomun on. the (Continued on page two) FIJIS BEIT KAPPA SIGS First Doughnut Series Game Won 12 to 4. Heywood Holds Opposing Hit ters in Check, While Hunt and Maritz Are Mauled. The Fiji willow wielders took the first game of the doughnut series from the Kappa Sigs last night by a one-sided score of 12 to 4. Herb Heywood and Johnny Houston formed the battery for the Fijis while Hunt, Mautz and Van Waters worked for the Kappa Sigs. The Kappa Sig tribe opened the game like a group of big leaguers getting one run on a combination of hits and misplays. The Fijis, however, were not to be outdone and they came hack strong in their half of the inning gather ing five runs in the same manner that the Kappa Sigs had obtained their lon ely tally, only more so. Held in Check by Heywood. From this point on they were never headed. With Heywood working like a million dollars there was nothing to tlie rest of the encounter. The Fijis added one in the second just to keep in practice and in the third they held a celebration getting six more counters. In this inning they held the last sad rites over Johnny Hunt driving him from the mound. Mautz then took up the burden where Hunt had left off but he was treated little better than his predecessor, although he held the Fiji* down in the third without a run. Bill Haseltinc missed a couple of grounders in center field that went for (Continued on page two).
