The executive committee of the stu dent body at a meting yesterday in A. R. Tiffany’s office decided to borrow $12000 to pay outstanding bills of the Co-op store. “The Co-op.” Mr. Tiffany said, “start ed two years ago without any capital. A year ago it was forced to borrow $2000 to buy necessary stock. The store has now merchandise on hand amounting to $5600. If the Co-op now borrows $12000. the value of the stock on hand will still much more than cover the $4000 indebt edness.” A recent invoice of the store shows a profit of over $11200 for the past two years. “Mr. McClain,” said Mr. Tiffany, "deserves a great deal of credit for con tinuing the business of the store, as he has under such adverse conditions.” When President Campbell returns, the advisability of continuing the Co-op as a student body store next year will be riscussed. “It is very doubtful,” said Emma Wotton Hall, member of the com mittee, “that the student body will be able to finance the Co-op store next year.” BASEBALL SEASON NETS $90 TO U. OF 0. COFFERS Unheard and Unthought-of Innovation Makes Graduate Manager Tiffany Smile. With only two new balls and two new bats purchased this season, not a game postponed and only one interrupted on account uf Tain, and a record of six wins in an eight-game series with O. A. C., Oregon has ninety dollars in her coffers as the result of an unusually successful season, and Manager Tiffany wears a smile on his face. The Junior AVeek-end games brouglft in $71.75, which is the high water mark for baseball returns at that season for the past two or three ^ears, according to Mr. Tiffany. Total expenses for the season were probably $150 and about $00 was taken during the entire time. Baseball is never counted on to do anything'” but run the University into debt and has never been known, to be a money making sport in spite of the fact that it is the great American game. It is on this account that Graduate Manager Tiffany smiles—90 dollars taken in is an innovation. The finances of the O. A. C. games were simplified by the fact that each team paid its own expenses over and back.

Grebe, Lind, and Steers Shine for University; Ten to Receive Letters. Oregon made it six out of eight from O. A. C. when she grabbed a fast, hotly contested game Saturday by a thrilling ninth inning rally and a story book fin ish. The final count was 5 to 4 in fa vor of the lewon-yellow after the count' bad see-sawed back and forth through out the contest. When the ninth inning opened Oregon was one run behind and the Aggies were going strong. “Rabbit” Grebe opened the frame by getting a single and was followed by Lind, who got his second hit of the day, a safe bunt along the third base line. Medley advanced the runners to second and third and then with one down Bill Steers strode to the plate with a mighty stride and placed one of Mr. Krueger’s carefully delivered balls into the outer garden, between Preston and Baldwin. The hit would have been good for a homer, if a homer were needed, but since Bill had just drawn up at second when Lind crossed the platter with the winning run he only gets credit for a two-base wallop. Nevertheless, it was some blow. Aggie Team Improves. The Corvallis team showed an im provement of about a million per cent since they first thrust their spikes into Cemetery Ridge, and in both of the last two games they appeared to have the ear marks of real ball players. The im provement of Rickson, the Aggie sec ond saeker, was most pronounced. Two weeks ago he was good for about four boots in each contest and was hitting about nil. On Saturday he gathered two hits out of five trips to the plate and while he made one error he handled (Continued on page three) TOSIAGE WAR PLAYS Mask and Buskin Will Give Home Guard Benefit.

Carnival is Best Ever. Looking back on the carnival one could say that it was the best ever pull ed off. The lightness of the evening made it necessary to put the fete off for an hour in order to show the light ing effects of the canoes. Promptly at 10 o’clock the call came for the floats to fall in order nnd drift past the boat house. The canoes were to cost no more iIlian $10 dollars, nnd prices for the evening’s beautiful effects are said to linve cost all the way from 55c to $10. As far as beauty and originality were concerned, the canoes were as pretty or prettier than they have been for sev eral years. After the canoe fete ninny of the (Continued on Page Four.)
