SWING-JUMP RECORD SET Caroline Cannon Clears Standard at Seven Feet in Gym The highest record made by any woman at the University of Oregon in the swing jump was made by Caroline Cannon, a sophomore from Portland, when she jumped the height of 84 inches or seven feet last Thurs day in a contest held during the reg ular gymnasium class period qf phy sical education majors. Era God frey, a senior from Lebanon, made second with a jump of 78 inches. Miss Cannon, who is only five feet, one-half inch high, wore a bathing suit when she accomplished this feat. The swing jump is similar to a pole vault, the difference being that two ropes suspended from the ceil ing are used as aids in making the jump over the standard instead of the pole. DR.

DURNO TO PILOT 1921 BASKETEERS Season Ends With Good Prospects For Next Year TOTAL OF 431 POINTS IN 17 GAMES MADE BY U. 0. All of Squad But Two to Return Next Season; Six Official Letters Awarded Eddie Durno, midget forward on the Varsity basketball quintet and one of the smallest players in the conferences, was elected captain of the Oregon basketball team for the 1921 season at a meeting in Hay ward’s office Thursday afternoon. Durno was one qf the mainstays on the Varsity five this year and is rated as one of the fastest .forwards in the conference by sport authorities. He was selected as a member of the all Pacific Coast team last year. Durno scored 196 points of the total number of 431 made by the lemon-yellow five this season. Oregon scored a total of 431 points against her opponents’ 472 in the sea son just completed, winning nine out of the 17 games played. Sickness and the flu epidemic have played an important part in the basketball sche dules of the Varsity five this year and the team has played in hard luck from these sources since the first few opening games. Lind and McCready Go Lind, captain of the team this year, and McCready, sub forward, are the only two men who will be iost by the graduation process, which will leave a substantial foundation of letter men upon which to build a fast quintet for next year. Bellar, sub guard for the five, made his letter thip year, while Manerud, who was used as spare forward, lacked, but half a game to get his. Letters were award ed to Durno, Lind, Latham, Chapman, Jacobberger and Beller. Latham and Beller both Ijroke into Varsity this year for their first time. They were members of the frosh quintet last year and have two more years to play with the Varsity five. Manerud also played his first year with the Varsity squad this season. EDWIN R. DURNO Jacobberger, Chapman and Durno finished their second year with the Varsity quintet, as did McCready, who was a letter man of the team of 1917. Lind played his third year with the team this season. Lind Second High Point Man Of the total points made by the team in their 17 games, Durno, for ward, made 196; Lind, forward, 68; Latham, center, 42; Chapman, guard, 24; Jacobberger, guard, 18; Manerud, sub forward, 23; Beller, sub guard, and McCready, sub guajd, 6 each. Durno played in all or a part of 15 games played by the Varsity. Lind played in all the games, Latham in 16, Chapman in 14, Jacobberger in all 17, Manerud in 6, Beller in 6 and Mc Cready in 2 games. Had the two games with the Aggies scheduled for this week been played and won by the Varsity quintet, this would have placed Oregon In third place in the Pacific Coast conference with a percentage of 600. With the cancelling of these games by the Aggies, however, Oregon’s chances of pulling themselves out of the cellar went glimmering. HTIOML SPEAKERS III open maw INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT TO BE TOPIC OF THREE DAYS DISCUSSION The series of meetings to be held by the team of the Interchurch World Movement next week will begin with a stereopticol lecture on social and religion conditions in the United States and South America by Dr. H.

SENIOR CLASS FAVORS EARLY EUWIONS PLAN TO HOLD COMMENCEMENT BEFORE END OF YEAR ENDORSED Unanimous indorsement of the plan under consideration by the student committee to ask the faculty to hold commencement exercises before the regular close of the University’s ses sion, was given by the senior class at a meeting held in Professor Howe’s room on Thursday afternoon. The plan as explained by members of the student council, includes the holding of final examinations for seniors sev eral days before the regular term finals, and commencement exercises at the beginning of the final week of the term. Members of the class declared that in former years commencement has been more or less of a farce for only the graduates themselves remain over for the exercises, and commence ment visitors see only a deserted campus. The new plan, ti was declar ed, will insure well attended cere monies and a worth while visit to the University for the friends of the graduates. All who expressed an opinion on the matter declared that it is not a case of shortening their University work by one week, but rather a step toward lending the oc casion its true dignity. Acting upon the recommendation of the committee previously appointed to select a senior play, the class au thorized Norman Philips to Becure Continued on page 4.
