Arthur Tuck Wins Seven First

—Jefferson High Is Second
in Meet
(BY ALEXANDER G. BROWN)
Arthur Tuck, the only representative
of the Redmond High School, entered
in the state championship track and
field meet here last Saturday won the
meet for his school. This is the first
time in the history of the state that
the meet has been captured by one
man. Tuck is one of the most excep
tional athletes who has come out of the
bushes in recent years and with a few
years training under such a coach as
“Bill” Hayward he can be expected
to be entered in the next Olympic
games. ~
Hayward considers Tuck one of the
best natural athletes he lias ever seen
in one of the state meets. The Red
mond athlete just naturally ran and
jumped here Saturday. There was no
form or sign of great training, but his
natural ability placed him above the
coached athletes who competed against
him.
Entered in the meet Saturday was a
notable array of high school talent.
There can be no question as to its be
ing a success and it was handled in a
very businesslike manner by ‘ ‘ Bill ’ ’
Hayward who has established a repu
tation for handling the state meets
without controversy. The coaches who
were interviewed after the meet all
' expressed themselves as very glad to
see the state meet reestablished and all
'marveled at the Redmond “Jack-rabbit
chaser,” as they called Arthur Tuck.
How Tuck Took Meet
Getting back to the subject of Tuck,
he captured just 38 points for his
school, which was just 4 points better
' than the entire Jefferson High School
team of Portland was able to do. Tuck
took first in seven events and second
!in one. He was competing against a
field of 120 entries and his work is
considered most exceptional. Tuck
placed first in the 100-yard dash, cov
' ering this in 10 seconds flat, which is
a new interscholastic record. Coulter
of Jefferson ran a good second in this
'race and covered the distance in 10:1-5.
In the shot-put he was first with a
heave of 45 feet 4 inches. In the high
hurdles he again led the field, doing
the distance in 16:3-5. In the high
'jump he defeated Gassoway, of Hood
River, who placed second, clearing the
bar at 5 feet 8 inches.
Tuck broke the state record for the
discus with a throw of 123 feet 10
inches and for the javelin, which he
hurled 174 feet 10 inches. This mark
smothers the old interscholastic record
of 144 feet, which was held by“DWbs”
Mulkey, established while he was at
tending the Monmouth High School.
The seventh first claimed by this east
ern Oregon phenomenon was in the
220-yard dash, which he covered in
23:3-5 seconds. The ope second that
he captured was in the broad jump
with a mark of a little better than 18
feet, which was made in the qualifying
round.
Mile Bun Great Cpntest
One of the best races of the after
noon was the milp run, which was won
by Peake of Franklin, although
Wright, of Jefferson, was first to cross
the line. Wright was disqualified for
crowding Peake out of his lane. Had
Jefferson been allowed the five points
for this event they would have taken
the meet.
The awards for the meet were pre
sented by Governor Ben Olcott at the
Junior Prom at the Armory Saturday
evening, Tuck left the platform look
ing like a Christmas tree, bent under
the weight of three cups and eight

Two Archerettes
Hit Target; Win
Accuracy Prizes
‘ ‘ Great rewards await those who aim
Tightly at the target; unto them shall
be given great things. ’ ’
The above quotation was taken from
Proverbs 23, 19, or at least, so Pat
O ’Rourke sayg, and he ought to 'know.
At any rate, it is true.
Monday afternoon, the 5 o ’clock
archery class was busy as usual, wing
ing away at the round shaped barn side
they use as a target. Arrow after
arrow flew on its true way, to land
somewhere near the circular shaped
pasteboard, which seemed to bear a
‘icharmed life.”
Just as the class was about to give
up in discouragement, an old gentleman
came up from behind, skipping briskly
,to avoid the falling arrows. What
drew him to the spot is unknown, but
it is supposed that it was natural cur
iosity. The white-haired spectator
stood watching, for a few moments. It
seemed perfectly safe. No one hit the
unark. He deliberated, and then made
an announcement. He offered a box
of candy to the girl who first hit the
target. It didn’t have to be a bull’s
eye. Merely hitting the target would
be enough.
Stimulated with the hope of the
candy, the arrows flew thick and fast.
Suddenly, the class gasped. True
enough, someone had hit the target.
Was not the arrow sticking into it,
bold as life? They stood and eyed it
in amazement for a second. Then they
gasped again. For another arrow cir
cled through the air, and landed on the
edge of the target.
The gentleman was game, and a few
minutes later the class was enjoying a
feast royal. For he had bought two
boxes of candy, one for each arrow.
The class is going out with renewed
hope these days, for some one may hit
the target again. Who knows?
’No Dope Available on Track Men
Oregon Must Meet Next
Saturday
Next Saturday Kincaid Field will
again be the scene of a dual track meet,
when the University of Washington
athletes come to meet “Bill” Hay
ward ’s proteges.
Very little is known concerning the
strength of the Washington team.
Coach Charles W. Vanderveer, of the
northern institution generally turns out
a strong team, however, and Hayward
is expecting a close contest.
No “casualties” have resulted so far
from last Saturday’s meet, and it is
probable that all the men who per
formed on the field then for the lemon
yellow, will be out in harness again
next Saturday. So little is known of
the strength of the Seattle men that
the men who make up the track team
are feaing that they may have an ex
ceptional team to buck up against,
and are putting a great deal of effort
into their work.
The weather has kept up its shiny
streak, and indications are that it will
continue bright. The variations in the
weather make a great deal of differ
ence in the work done on the track.
At the University of Washington,
interest in track is not very large, ac
cording to several former students.
There the crew is the big sport, with
baseball and other sports coming be
fore track. It is not thought that
Washington has been in any meets so
far this year, and even “Bill” Hay
ward has been unable to get any dope
on their progress.
Only twelve men will be allowed to
compete for each team.

GIRL IS CHEMISTRY GRAD
Rieta Hough,, ’19, Will Attend Port
land Medical School
Rieta Hough, ’19, is the first girl
in the history of the University to
graduate from the chemistry depart
ment, who has taken all of her chem
istry work here. Other girls who have
majored in the subject have come from
other colleges and have taken only
a part of their work here.
Miss Hough entered in 1914 from
Carlton College, Missouri. During the
year 1917-1918 she was in Portland
as laboratory assistant to a child spec
ialist, and in the summer she worked
in Dr. Matson’s tuberculosis labora
tory.
At present she is instructor in fresh
man laboratory periods and also in
the organic laboratories. At the com
pletion of her work here, Miss Hough
will go to the University of Oregon
Medical school in Portland, where she i
will remain for two years. Later she
expects to attend an eastern college.
Oil CtMPIIS SITE;
Statue Put Up Under Direction
of Mr. Proctor, Unveiling
Set for May 22
The “Pioneer,” the first statue to
claim a place on the University campus,
svas erected yesterday afternoon at 2
a ’clock under the direction of A. Phim
ister Proctor, the sculptor. The statue
faces south, which, according to Mr.
Proctor, is the ideal way, since the face
must have the most light. He express
ed himself as being very much pleased
with the site chosen for the figure.
Plans for the formal dedication of
the “Pioneers” on Thursday, May 22,
at 2:30, are well under way. B. A.
Booth, pioneer of Oregon, will give a
short address in behalf of the pioneers
who were the inspiration for the dedi
cation. Mr. Proctor and .T. N. Teal of
Portland will also give short speeches.
No arrangements have been made for
the response, but it will be given by
one of the regents of the University,
according to Karl Onthank, secretary
to the President. Some one will be
chosen later to unveil the statue, he
said. The University orchestra will
play several selections during the cere
mony.
Wife Great Inspiration
Mrs. Proctor is visiting in Eugene
with her husband during the erection
and dedication of the “Pioneer.” She
is the mother of seven children, and
her husband declares that she has been
a great inspiration and help to him dur
ing his career as a sculptor. He takes
the whole family out in the wilds with
him in the summer where they have
had some really thrilling adventures
together.
At one time while motoring through
eastern Oregon the machine became un
managible and the family was carried
down the mountain side, with no
thought of ever living through the ad
venture, but they landed safely, Mr.
Proctor said.
“The one great joy of my husband’s
work,” declared Mrs. Proctor,” is that
he does his small models out of doors
in the summer and then takes the large
models from them in the winter at
home. In this way the family gets a
great deal of outdoor camp life, which
we all love. ’ ’
Carried Statue on Mule
In speaking of her husband’s work
on the “Pioneer,” Mrs. Proctor told
how they had to carry the small statue
from the camp on the back of a mule
since the roads were impassable for
the machine. The model, J. C. Cravens,
also accompanied them to California
at this tine to pose for the large statue,
and while he was in the south he was
married in the Procter home to a
charming southern girl. The man had a
fine personality, as well as physical

VOTE TOMORROW
The campus is in a whirl of politics and we must keep it
clean and carry on the election tomorrow in a manner which
will be a credit to the University.
Oregon has never countenanced, and will never stand for
dirty politics. Trading of votes and promises of solid voting
are considered disgraceful. Furthermore the would-be sup
porters of a candidate who try that method are doing so
without the sanction or consent of a single one of the candi
dates whose names appear on the ballot and they are very
seriously injuring the chance of electing their candidate
It has been rumored by unscrupulous campus gossips that
there is an impending shakeup in the personnel of the athletic
department depending on the outcome of the student elec
tions. THE EMERALD WISHES TO STATE THAT THIS
IS ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT FOUNDATION AND THAT
INTERVIEWS WITH THE MEN CONCERNED ARE ALL
DEFINITE IN STATING THAT THEY ARE ENTIRELY
OUTSIDE THE REALM OF STUDENT POLITICS.
Every Oregon student should vote tomorrow and he should
cast his ballot for the candidates who in his opinion are most
deserving and most capable of service. He should be unbiased
by fraternal affiliation and personal prejudice.
All the candidates up are capable and strong and the best
interests of the University will be upheld no matter what may
be the outcome of tomorrow’s election.
Sorority Garbless;
Fraternity Eatless;
Mystery Has Key
A sorority without clothes, and a
fraternity without breakfast, are the
sad results of the last night of Junior
Week-end. The sorority went without
clothes because of necessity, and the
fraternity did without its morning
meal for tlys same reason, and the
jenson is directly traced to the Kappa j
Key. It is not insinuated that the guests !
of the two houses departed with the
clothes and the breakfast, for such is
not the case.
Late Sunday night when the mem
bers of a certain sorority wended theii
weary ways homeward after kissing
the last guest or the last caller good
bye, they found to their consternation
that some of the freshmen had locked
the doors to all the closets and had
thrown the keys away. Third degree
methods failing, one of the sisters sent
out an S. O. S. appeal to the usual
place, and before long a skeleton key
from one of the fraternities was de
livered at the door.
The key did not unlock the closet
as quickly as was desired so a hammer
and chisel were employed to spoed it
up. The hammer and chisel stood the
strain, but the key did not. Half of
it said good bye to the lock suddenly, |
while the other half courageously stay
ed in the lock. The result was con
sternation, and the efforts were given
up. The next morning the sisters drew
lots as to who should use the available
clothes and go to classes, and who
should stay in bed.
The saddest part, though is yet to
come. The skeleton key borrowed
from the fraternity house, was the
key to the provisional closet.
