Smith For Editor of the Emerald LYLE BRYSON UNOPPOSED Leith Abbott and George Hopkins are iri( Arena for Senior Man of Student Council. A spirit of “watchful waiting” seems to characterize the would-be candidates for student body offices at this time, for only six more have come into the open with several po sitions going begging at present. Donald Newbury still remains the only man in the field for president of the associated students, but ex perienced war horses predict that at least three candidates will be in the runing by the time of nomina tions Wednesday, May 5. The announcements of chief inter ests today are those of a new candi date for office of the editor of the Emerald, and a definite candidate for secretary of the student body. Ernest Crockatt is the new man in the race for Emerald editor to opposes Harry A. Smith, whose can didacy was announced last week. Crockatt is a junior, and a major in the school of journalism. He served with the Canadians for two years in France and was decorated by the British government with a military medal for bravery. He is a member of Sigma Upsilon, national writers’ ' fraternity. He has had newspaper | experience for two years in Eastern ; Oregon. secrexary unopposed. Lyle Bryson is defintely in the running for secretary of the student body, and so far is unopposed.

A third woman is now in the race for senior woman on the student council, Wanda Brown, who is run ning against Lois Macy and Flor ence Riddle.

Sunbeams, spring sweaters, and somno lence have at least made their 1920 debut. It may take more than one swallow to make a summer, but evidently the one recent romantic affair was enough to induce a made-to-or der spring to put in its appear ance. From the race comes the sound of splashing paddles and cooing voices as the “Old Town” athletes make their way up the sun-flecked stream. Down on the float echoes the tatoo of chattering teeth, even though their possessors stoutly main tain that, “R-r-r-e-al-ly, it is n’-t s-o-o b-a-d,” and occasion ally jump ankle deep into the water in an attempt to prove their point. In spite of. the fact that ev eryone complains of having the spring fever there are no signs of feverish effort to study on the part of anyone. Each class has its quota of nodding heads and window dreamers. But for the fact that the grades are now published it is doubtful if there would be any studying done at all. .For every canoe that goes up the race two unprepared lessons drift down. As for the sweaters, well, we thought that the spectrum had been exhauster last year but no such thing. A bed of variegated poppies has nothing on the li brary steps in this age of fem inine finery Sleepy? Everybody is. Ye ssribe gapes and yawns over his typewriter Inspirations? Only the chronic poets have am bition enough to get them. “Want to go up the race?” “You bet!” It’s the universal password. R.O.T.C.

Cinders will fly on Kincaid field Saturday afternoon in the first real track meet that Oregon has been able to stage this year. The occa sion is the annual inter-fraternity track meet and there will be ath letes of all descriptions taking a hand in the festivities.1 Even those who hie themselves over the mill race paths during the balmy after noons, will take a place in this line up, and competition will be keen. “Bill” Hayward, who has charge of all the arrangements, has selected a beautiful silver trophy cup to be presented to the winner of the meet this year and this cup will be the permanent property of the team which makes the greater number of points in the meet. “Art” Tucks Limited But there will be some restrictions and among them will be “Art" Tuck, the husky freshman, who will be lim ited to three events. Other restric tions will be on letter men of the Varsity team, these men will enter and run in their own events but their ponts will count for naught, “Bill” says it will be good training for them, and that is about all they will get out of it. The men who are trying for Varsity positions this sea son, may enter any events they wish, although each aspirant will be limited to three track events, that any o’ne athlete may enter.

Dr. Chester L. Carlisle, of the U. S. public health service, who is di rector of the state survey of mental defect, delinquency, and dependency now being conducted by the Univer sity of Oregon extension division at teh request of the state legislature, gave an address Saturday afternoon at at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow be fore the members of the Association of Collegiate Alumni. He gave an outline of the history of the treatment and care of men tal defectives and the growth of modern development of mental hy giene and social welfare. The im portance of recognizing mental de fects, as the cause of conduct inad equate to meet the social needs or moral conventions, was emphasized. “The obvious fact of antisocial conduct need not be left to the opin ion of experts, but should be part of the common education of every in telligent citizen”, said Dr. Carlisle. A Sticking Question; Who Gave the Annex Royal aChcw of Gum? Thej Journalism annex has the latest thing in typwriters. The Sunday editions have thrilling accounts of the blond typewrit er who chews gums, and the brunette typewriter who vamps the boss. But over in the Jour nalism annex is a real, honest to goodness, Royal typewriter that chews gum When pounced on early Mon day morning, instead of being in good fighting trim, or rather in good working trim, it was found to be entangled in the mucilage nous and. popular substance which is the joy of the young and the ban of their elders. As gum chewing is not allow ed in the literary atmosphere of the Journalists, the old Royal was^, shortly diveste d of its “wad.” and set to "chewing the rag,” instead.

OREGON TAKES FIRST GAME FROM PULLMAN TEAM BY 9-4'COUNT Berg Twirls Nine Frames Of Big League Ball; Four Hits Allowed W. S. C. USES TWO IN BOX Lewis ancT Graham Both Batted Hard; Lind Leads Sluggers With Homer and Three Bagger. (By Jacob Jacobson) WASHINGTON, STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Wash., April 26—(Special to the Emerald)—The University of Oregon baseball team won over W. s. C. here tills afternoon by the one sided count of 9 to 4. J. Arthur (“Ice”) Berg, Oregon's premier left hander, twirled an extra fine game for the lemon-yellow, allowing the Washington staters but four hits in the nine frames. He fanned nine and issued free transfortation but twice. Herm Lind, Oregon’s captain and guardian of the initial sack, busted one over the center fielder’s head in the first inhlng and gets the leather medal, having scored the first hom er for the varsity this season. Han ley, Washington state’s third sacker, connected with the sphere and lift ed one over Rhlnehart, playing the left bower, and romped home. No one was on, and but a single tally was rung up. i Oregon’* Game from Start. Oregon won the toss, and elected to try the mettle of the Cougars. The first inning started with a whoop when “Skeet” bingled a safe one, came to rest on the initial sack. Reinhart followed with a single, sending “Skeet” to second. Steers and Lind found the liorsehide, scor ing "Skeet” and Reinhart This inning was a forecast of the entire contest, and Oregon maintain ed the lead throughout the game. Two star hurlers were called from the reserves by the Cougars in a futile attempt to stem Oregon’s hit ting streak, but with no avail. The boys had with them their batting eyes, and pounded the offerings of , Lewis and Graham at will. A change in batteries will be ef fected in the second contest, Fran cis Jacobberger going into the box, with Spike Leslie at the receiving end. Used to scooping the ball out of the rand, Oregon was at a disadvan tage, for a heavy wind at times drove clouds of dust over the diamond, making fielding at times very diffi cult. The field on the whole was fast, and some good ball was exhib ited to the fans. Summary of the Game: Oregon W. S. C. R‘ H E -9 8 5 ...4 4 2 Time of game, two hours. 3 base lilts: Lind, Steers. 2 base hits: Rhinehart, Sters, Fox Home runs: Lin dand Hanley. Struck out by Berg 9, by Lewis 3, and Graham 1.
