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.

Kappa Alpha Theta Canoe
Takes First Prize in Big Fete
When Anna Bronaugh, Marion Law
rence and Dorothy Manville as. ‘ ‘ Wink
um, Blinkum and Nod” in the Kappa
Alpha Theta entree drifted down the
millrace Thursday evening in a huge
fairyland shoe, they floated away with
the approval of the judges and the
terraces of spectators crowded in on
the banks, and at the close of the
event, received the loving cup offered
annually for the most graceful, origi
nal and well-balanced canoe in the
fete. .
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.

HUSKY COPS SUCCEED
IN GETTING REAL WORK
FROM LAZY LABORERS
O Say Girls, Didn’t
You Love Those Nice
Shiny, White Collars?
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.

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.
