Inasmuch as two courts were avail able and rain threatened at any minute, the two single matches were played off at the same time. Adrienne Epping drew Mary Findley as her oppouent, and Marjorie Campbell* played Hortense Harrild. iVTIss Epping Loser. The match between Miss Epping and Miss Findley was short and fast, the Willamette girl winning over Miss Ep ping by two straight sets—0-4, 7-5.

AGGIE TRACK MEET IS DEFINITELY CANCELLED Freshmen Will Not Meet 0. A. C. on Cinder Path, Oregon to Have no Contest on Home Field. The freshmen track meet with O. A. C. has been definitely cancelled, an nounced Graduate Manager A. It. Tiff, any yesterday and the freshmen will not be given an opportunity to show their class on the cinder path this year. The meet, which was originally sched uled for May 11. has been postponed from time to time until Coach I'ipal in formed Tiffany that it would be impos sible for him to get a team together for the meet here next Saturday. May 18 was the date set after the postpone ment from the 11, but owing to the fact that Kincaid had been given over to the school children of Eugene for that date, it was suggested by Mr. Tiffany that the meet be held next Saturday, but lhpal reported that his squad had been so diminished by students withdraw ing to work on farms that he could not bring a team to Eugene at this late date. It was also suggested to the O. A. C. coach that the meet be held sometime during this week, but as many of the Rook track stars had already left school, this plan was rejected. This leaves the Freshmen track team without a meet after weeks of hard consistant training and it also leaves Oregon without a track meet on her campus this year.
