CO-EDS VUIN IN TENNIS
FROM WILLAMETTE
Miss Campbell Takes Singles
6-2, 6-2; Miss Kay and
Miss Slotboorn Take
Doubles Match.
Salem PJuyers to Meet Oregon
on Home Courts
May 26.
Although hampered by strange courts,
the girls’ varsity tennis team took two
matches out of the three from I\illam_
ette University Saturday, May IS, at
Salem, winning the tournament. The
members of the Oregon team who made
the trip were Madeline Slotboorn, Mar
jorie Kay, Marjorie Campbell and Ad
rienne Epping. Since Caroline Alexan*
der was not able to accompany the team
because of illness, Madeline Slotboorn
held the position of manager pro-tem.
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. Al
though Miss Findley beat Miss Epping
last year, tennis enthusiasts thought
that Miss Epping would come back with
an easy victory this year but she failed
to penetrate Miss Findley’s steady play
ing. Miss Epping’s game was fast and
brilliant but Miss Findley played a beau
tiful game against her. using the “Law
ford” stroke constantly with telling re
sults. Miss Findley showed perfect form
in her return shots and time after time
she placed her steady drives just out of
Miss Epping’s reach. The final game
was played in a gust of rain.
Miss Campbell Winner.
The match between Miss Ilarrild and
Miss Campbell was played at the same
time. Due to a strong wind Miss Har
rihl was unable to get control of her
serve until Miss Campbell had won three
straight games. Then she rallied and
won the next two games but she was un
able to maintain her improvement and
Miss Campbell took the next three
games, winning the first set (1-2. (1-2. In
the next set each player won her serve
twice, making the score two all, but
Miss Campbell took the lead and won
the next four games straight, taking
the second set by the same score, 0-2.
Miss Ilarrild showed excellent control
of her return strokes, using the cut with
considerable accuracy and Miss Camp
bell's strong point was her serve which
she placed well, in one game winning
three straight points with three balls.
Girls Are Entertained.
The Fnivorsity girls were entertained
at lunch by Miss Findley and Miss Har
rild. In the afternoon the doubles
match was played off between the Will

WiLSOMYLOR GO
Student Body Loses President
and Vice-President.
Special Election to Be Called
First, Wednesday of
Next October.
With the thrill of a lively student
body election only two weeks in the
background, the University awakes to
the fact that it is without a president
or vice-president for next year, since
Dwight Wilson, president-elect for 1918
19, has been called in the draft to report
at Camp McDowell, California, and
George Taylor, vice-president elect, left
with other members of the University
battalion for Camp Lewis last week.
According tc James Sheehy, president,
no special election will be held this term
to refill these offices, but instead an elec
tion will be called the first Wednesday
of October by Ella Dews, secretary.
This is believed to be the best arrange
ment, since there is no way of telling
who will be taken in the draft between
now and next fall.
Until that time, even after the in
stallation of the remaining new offi_
cers in June, Sheehy offers his assist
ance in any way possible.

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.

returning to America to go to the Uni

PRESIDENT STILL SEEKING
KANZLER FOR R. 0. T. C.
If Unavailable, Officer Returned from
France Will Be Brought
to Oregon.
Word received from President P. L.
Campbell today said that he was pushing
Captain Jacob Kunzler’s appointment as
head of the R. O. T. C. as fast as possi
ble but that if it was impossible to ob
tain him he would get an officer who
had recently returned from France. Fur
ther details were lacking.
The president also wanted a list of
men who were drafted. He said that reg
istration in scientific subjects was all
that could be used to obtain exemption
for them, as the R. O. T. C. does not
help at all. Karl Onthunk will wire the
names of Bruce Flegal, Dwight Wilson
and Arthur Runquist in today. Flegal
and Wilson were (j«th majors in science
but Mr. Onthank was doubtful about
otbaining any exemption for them.
