MEET BT 8 POINTS Victors Are Determined By Relay Race FOSTER GETS FOUR FIRSTS Splendid Conditions of Track and Good Weather Make for Good Time on Cinder Path Though the Oregon Agricultural Col lege won the dual track meet from Ore gon yesterday afternoon on Kincaid field by the score of 69 to 61 the win ner was not decided until after the re lay race. Oregon needed only five points of that race to give her the necessary points to add to the 61 and O. A. C. would be defeated in a meet which promised in the beginning to be a walkaway for the visitors. Only five points needed and Bill Hayward had not a single fresh man to enter in the relay race as he had used up all his available material in the other events. For the race he entered Stan Anderson, Leith Abbott, Hon Belding and Henry Foster, the latter having already made himself high point winner by taking four firsts. The relay race was one of the closest laces ever witnessed on the track but Foster, unable to make up all of the few yards lost by his team mates, fell in a faint across the tape, 18 inches be hind -his opponent Kirkenschalager of O. A. C. No records were broken during the meet though the track and field were ir. the best of condition. Good time was made however by Foster in the 100 yard dash and the 220 low hurdles and by Wilsqn in the high hurdles. in ext to -r osier wren ms zu points, Eikelman, of 0. A. C., registered on the score sheet with 12 points for his col lege, taking four second places, Wilson for Oregon came third with 10 points. Other high point men were Swan and Waite of O. A. C. each 8 points, and Runquist of Oregon 7 points. Considerable discussion was held among the judges concerning the dis qualification of McCormack, of O. A. C., who was the third man in the two mile race. He went badly lame in the fifth lap, but kept bravely at it for two more laps, winning the admiration of the crowd for his grit, but did not end.

Trials of Much-Married John Smith Theme of Senior Play COMEDY MOVES RAPIDLY Curtiss Peterson Is Morman-Like Star; Doris Slocum and Marion Coffey His Wives Laugh after laugh greeted the pre sentation of the senior play “Facing the Music,” given last night in the Eugene theatre. From the rise of the curtain until 'the last spoken word, the play went off with a rapidity that is almost unknown in amateur theatri cals. The waits between scenes were very short, as all of the three scenes were laid in the same room. The setting was very attractive and the color scheme well worked out for an apart ment house, where the scene was laid. The getting over of the comedy de pended entirely upon the quickness with which the scenes went off. All during the performance there was never visible from the audience’s standpoint one bit of confusion or of prompting. This smoothness is what probably made this year’s senior class play one of the best that has ever been given. Don T. Orput, as coach, deserves much credit for training the cast in such a short time as two weeks and in being able to present such a finished product as he did. The three-act farce comedy presented many trying situations to the actors concerned, all causing much merriment for the audience. it looKeci ror a wane as it Curtiss Peterson, as just plain John Smith, was going to have to face more than music, or in other words, three wives. But Smith was quick at making answers, almost too good for his own peace of mind, and when the water got too deep he could, always ask hi^ house guest, Herold Newton, as Dick Desmond, why Desmond had done it. Doris Coffey and Marian Coffey, as the two Mrs. Smiths, shared honors alike in taking the lead. Doris Slo cum was so bewitchingly sweet, so glad to do anything that would help her husband and at the same time so proud of what she thought was his bravery in a holdup robbery the night before that no one could help losing their heart to her, including Colonel Duncan Smith, uncle of John Smith’s. However, in the Colonel’s case, it was not a matter of acfmiring only his mistaken neice, but every pretty woman whom he hap pened to meet. Estes Brosius as the uncle added the gray hairs and love for the ladies necessary in such a comedy. Hester Hurd was up to her usual good character work in the part of Mrs. Ponting, the housekeeper, in a manner well befitting Mrs. Ponting’s age and beauty. Miss Pothoringay, of the Bijou the atre, would give one the idea that her manner and pronunciation were pure Bostonian, but then had it not been for Miss Pothorigav there would not have been a plot or as Dick Desmond says, “a fog.” Ruth Graham played this part with her usual ease. The truly Mrs. John Smith, or Nora, was there with the temper, the words and the upicion. Marion Coffey por trayed this character more than well and the eharteristic twist of the head was well placed. What looked at first as the town tough later turned out to be Harold Grey as Sergeant Duffel, the secret service man who had grand suspicions which never amounted to anything ex cept trouble for his employer, Mr. John Smith. But then, as Sergeant Duffel said, “I knew everything would be all right in the end.” The campus has seen James Sheehy as student body president and as base ball referee, but last night saw him take a new role, that of the parson, the Heverend John Smith. With his deep v oice, Sheehy took the part admirably well. Harold Newton acted as general manager of the play, assisted by Lay Carlisle. Glenn Stanton was stage manager. , The University Orchestra furnished the music.

Friendly hall won second prize of five dollars for “The Pioneer,” a statuesque figure standing on a plat form built up on two canoees and il luminated with a continuous blaze of red fire. Chi Omega Third Louise Sheahan, as a huge moth with vari-colored wings reclining on a bed of flowers, won for Chi Omega the third prize of two dollars and a half. ‘ ‘ The Moth ’ ’ sparkled and glistened as the rays from the searchlight on the bank played about the canoe. Chi Omega won the loving cup for the past two consecutive years and had that organization received it again this year it would have been theirs to keep. Bill Bolger in the Phi Gamma Delta barge, depicting a condensed view of a stock yard scene at the O. A. C., di verged from the spirit of the occasion. There was nothing aesthetic about Bill and his live stock, But when he yelled ‘‘Let’s give an osjtv, let’s give an oslcey, ” and by a sleight of hand performance caused a youthful pig which he held in his lap to squeal for dear life, the audience came down with a roar. This barge was given first honorable mention by the judges. Hendricks Hall received second lion \ orable mention for tlieir fairy princess sitting in a golden yellow poppy and driving a delicate butterfly down the race. Wanna McKinney was the prin cess. Canoe Catches Fire Alpha Phi's huge green dragon, sup posed to spout fire, becamo more than cantankerous, for in passing the reviewing stand it caught fire. The canoe, containing no one, was in tow; and with the help of Harry Jamieson, junior president, Gretclien Colton and Dorothy Reed, they were able to ex tinguish the blaze before much injury had been done. The entries of Sigma Delta Phi, the new local sorority, ’ came last in the line of floats, with a canoe carrying Dorothea Boynton rocking an infant’s cradle. Other entries were: Kappa Kappa Gamma, with an industrious spider on a sparkling cobweb, working in a bower of greenery; Gamma Phi Beta, a butterfly; Kappa Sigma, a Hawaiian banjo scene; Pi Beta Phi, a bower of flowers and butterflies; Sigma Nn, a canoe of flowers; Dolta Delta Delta, a huge dove of peace; Delta Gamma, Luceil Marrow as a fetching dancing girl driving a canoe of flowers; Phi Delta Theta, canoe decorated in Scotch broom; Beta Theta Pi, an airplane ad vertising the Victory loan; Alpha Tau Omega, a flower bedecked yacht; junior class, canoe carrying out color scheme of purple and gold; and fresh man entree, a canoe carrying a large green cap. Miss Helen Rhodes, Dean Morton and Miss Harriet Thomson acted as judges for the event. Both glee clubs and the University band furnished entertainment for the crowd before the fete began. STATE HAS UNIVERSITY DAY ALUMNI AND FORMER STUDENTS WORK FOR COLLEGE Missionary Service in High Schools and Women’s Building Campaign Are Features Yesterday, May 9, was University day all over the state. It was the occasion for the coming together of all the alumni, former students and friends of the University at luncheons, banquets, picnics and other meetings in the in terests of their alma mater. Three large features were up for consideration at these meetings this year. One of these was the $5,000,000 reconstruction bonding bill which will come up at a special election on June '3. The alumni are trying to interest the people throughout the state, since the passage of the bill means $500,000 to be used for much needed new build ings for the University. The state-wide campaign for $40,000 from the alumni and former students of the T/niversity toward the new woman’s building was another of the problems for the alum ni. And, in addition to these, was the message carried over the state to the high school students. Former Univer sity students on that day spoke to high school students on the advantages of the University and what it could offer the high school student who wants to make the most of his education. ************ * FRIARS ELECT * * Stan Anderson * * Henry Foster * * Herman Lind * FOUR MORE CANDIDATES ENTER RUNNING «»*##»«#*#*» * * ’* Nominations for Offices * ■ * # President—Stan Anderson,.

Campus day is supposed to bo the one day of the year when even tho most fastidious shall put asido his good looking clothes for the accepted hobo garb of that day—it’s done you know, but not so in the case of Henry English, the esteemed senior who ap peared at tho campus luncheon with a newly pressed suit, a collar so white that it fairly dazzled the eye, and cuffs of snowy linen that showed two inches below the sleeves. Henry was nice to behold and pleas ing to the feminine eye, but not so the masculine. Although a few A. T. O.’s refused to allow themselves to bo mussed up, every body else was there in the traditional attire. , The senior police looked and did their worst. They were noble in the zeal they showed in hounding down and bringing to justice the culprits of the day regardless of any previous friendship or love they might have felt for them. Early in the morning these men went from house to house calling the roll in loud tones and bringing forth every inmate. They enforced tho law and by the persuasive power of the knob bed billy clubs were able to got the maximum amount of work out of everybody without doing a particle of it themselves. HUNGRY STUDES HIT THE EATS « CAMPUS LUNCHEON FRIDAY WAS ONE GRAND OCCASION Solemn Friars and Dignified Scroll and Script Members Hold Pledge Ceremonies The luncheon Friday in the men’s gymnasium was another of those jun ior week-end affairs that one doesn’t forgot for a long time to come. Every body was there except the frosli who didn’t get up to work in the morning and they had the good grace to stay away, and the variety of clothes worn rivaled the senior party, sweaters and sombreros, peg tops of 1912, gingham dresses and satin skirts were in strik ing evidence. Girls in groups, according to classes, served from behind booths over hung with scotch broom, lilacs and wisteria. The floor was covered with sawdust. Policemen with stalwart canes and glaring stars walked restlessly to and fro among the crowd to keep the frosli in order and to prevent them from eating too much. Mr. Perfect led liis band in playing which added much to the general pep. The girls who served the food say that everybody seemed to bo extra hun gry and nobody seemed at all bashful about it. Anyway box after box of sandwiches disappeared, to say noth ing of the freezers of ice cream or the 20 pounds of coffee donated by the Table Supply Company. .lust about the time people were be ginning on their second sandwich the Friars, solem in their caps and gowns marched around the hall with three neophytes, Herman Lind, llenry Fos ter and Stan Anderson. i new came me ocrou ami ocripi with Luceil Marrow, Dorothy Duniway, 1 Grace Kriopp, Grace Hammerstrom, Ruth Young, and Irva Smith wearing tiic pledge roues. These girls had been serving at the junior booth, and in the midst of the bean dishing process, had been stopped by the black garbed mem bers to join the procession. There was no pie, but an ice cream eating race was hotly, or rather; coldly, contested and Sidey Hayslip (Continued on Page Eight) Large Footed Upper Classmen Sentence Hapless Frosh and Dressy Idlers to Icy Swim 70 SHINY NEW HURDLES MADE FOR TRACK MEET Two Energetic Squads Make Gravel Walks; Chain Gang Paints “0” Even tho wrath of the gods mani fested itself in the dark clouds which threatened the doom of any man who failed to do his part in the campus clean-up yesterday morning. Husky policemen (a committee of upperclass men with big feet and blood in their eyes) were out at 8 o’clock with spiked billy clubs to enforce the law, which was really no law at all, autocracy in its most despotic form being rampant nil morning. “Can’t you tell time?’’ yelled Brick Mitchell, chief of police, to a couple of freshmen who had overslept. “No," responded Quayle and Parton, as they meekly submerged themselves in the icy waters of the fountain. The other unfortunates were John Brock, Quincy Davis, George Anderson, Bill Bolger, Sam Lehman, George La Roche, Bud Burgess, Pinky Boylen, Lee Barthol omew, Walcott Buren and Bill Pat terson. Late to work, laziness, a clean collar or most anything was used as reason enough for punishment. It was only right that Alex Brown of the en tertainment committee should “enter tain” they said—so he was immersed up-side down. The prettiest sight was the work done on the track. Seventy shining white hurdles with U. of O. in green letters painted on the front were made by the committee for use in the inter seholasitc meet in tho afternoon. Bill Hayward introduced a novel kind of judges’ stand which tho boys made. The stand is a white threo seated plat form, the seats being raised one above the other, and placed directly in front of the goal post. Bill got tho idea from the Olympic games in Sweden, he said. • “The truck is in bettor shape than it has ever been before,” stated Ned Fowler, who superintended the work of the big track committee. He and his assistants, Bib Carl and Wayne Laird, carried on tho biggest improvement campaign of the day. Gordon Fletcher had a fine squad of men working back of the Administra tion building, removing dirt and put ting on gravel to make a parking place for machines. Not a lazy one in .the bunch, said ho, (and they were hand some lads too). Tn no time at all a gravel wulk was built from the journalism annex by another crew of good workers under Norris Jones and Johnny Houston, who claim to have done tho most con structive work of the morning. “What is that chain gang doing with all the yellow paint?” asked one preppor. The “O” painters they were of course, and it would bo idle to ques tion the work of such an efficient group of artists. Each man won his a big yellow one right on the seat of his trousers. With their faces adorned with lemon yellow, they were a proud and hungry lot as they march ed in for the campus luncheon. And then the gods drove the clouds away, the sun shone forth and all was serene—for the most successful University day on record had ended. * SCROLL AND SCRIPT * * Elects * Dorothy Duniway * * Grace Haramarstrom * * Grace Knopp * * Lureil Morrow * * Irva Smith * * Ruth Young *
