HANK FOSTER BILL HAYWARD If Oregon Spirit, that intangible something that grips one and keens his very nerves, was ever expressed it was voiced last Friday afternoon on Kincaid Field in the personages of Hank Poster and Hill Hayward. Hank Foster sacrificed his future health, oven endangered his life, in that heart-rending last ipinrtormilo of the relay race. Tired, worn almost to exhaustion under the strain of winning first in four events, he entered the re lav to win for Oregon. lie received the baton from the proceeding lemon yellow runner some ten yards behind his Aggie competitor, (lathering all his energy, and calling on his already over taxed reserve powers, lie sped over the track gaining inch by inch until it seemed as if ho might win. Hut the demand was too much for his strength, he fell over the tape a scant yard be hind Kirkcnslager. He had given his best, he fell in complete exhaustion and faint. lie epitomized Oregon in that race, never did a man diplasy more genuine grit and gameness than Hank Foster. He was an expression of Oregon Spirit. And Hill Hayward he who has eu deared himself to all Oregon men and women; his expression was none the less potent although voiced by word of mouth of the inner being of the man. Bill had set his heart on winning the meet. The second O. A. (’. runner in the relay was clearly seen by all to run past the ten yard mark receiving the baton from his preceding team-mate. Technically the race could have been protested, the judges had seen the foul. Bill Hayward was appealed to—if rightfully allowed it would have won the meet for Oregon. “No, let it go,” was Bill’s reply. In those few words was the inner, the “Oregon” expression of Bill Hay ward. His sportsmanship arose domi nant over his desire to win, and have it be said afterwards that Oregon won by protesting, which she had a legiti mate right to do. All credit to O. A. C.—they won the meet. But still great er glory to Bill Hayward—he will ever remain in our hearts. He was Oregon —big and triumphant in an emergency. WELL DONE Junior Week-end is over, our guests have departed, dance, ball games, and track meets are history, the freshmen have passed tn ;r first collegiate mile ston- —Oregon put its heart into the game and came through the fray with flying colors.

Praise must go to every Oregon man and woman who leaded a hand to make the week-end a winner. In another month the cap and gown of graduation will be upon i.s. But four more weeks of school remain. Let Oregon students move with determina tion and enthusiasm—let scholastic duties take our major time from now. Make the next month memo'able in your collegiate life. LEWIS A. BOND WRITES Oregon Man Tells of Life In Genorich, Germany In a letter received yesterday by Warren 1). Smith, professor of geology in t ho University, Lewis A. Bond, former University student and first lieutenant in the 13th field artillery with the army of occupation, now in Genorich, Germany, says, “We’re up here in a little town on the hills above the Moselle. The regiment lias very recently been changed over from horse drawn to motorized, and we are having a great time with our tractors, trucks, motorcycles and observation cars. “We’ve had a long siege of winter. March was the coldest and nastiest month of all. We drill mornings, do' guard duty, have athletics in the after noon and go to school four nights a week. Tomorrow several of us go to Khrenbreitstein for a look at a model layout for a motorized regiment of heavies. •» “I dropped into a wonderful bit of luck and got to go down to Cannes | (in tlu> ltivera) for the A. K. F. of-1 ficers’ tennis tournament. Went on the Sth division team. It was a high class affair just like the national j championship in the states. Williams won the finals from Washbtirne. It was a great change to get down there i where it was warm and sunny after a shot of ‘der deutsche winter,’ Do, y on ever get out on the old cement court anymore? 1 am certainly long ing to see the University again.’’ | DEADY COLLECTION OPEN Bird and Mammal Display To Bo In creased By Malheur Specimens The University expects to receive some new specimens for the Prill col lection of birds and mammals, now on exhibition on the top floor of Dead,' hull, according to Dr. J.
