SIX NAMES ARE ADDED
Ernest Crockett to Run Against
Harry A. 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

A third woman is now in the race
for senior woman on the student
council, Wanda Brown, who is run

bott is editor of the Emerald, a
member of student council, the Ore

Sigma Upsilon, Order of the O, and
a letterman on the varsity track

Some Offices Still Vacant.

Spall. One is to be chosen.
No men have been mentioned as yet
for members of the athletic council,
for executive council or for sopho
more man on the council. Carl

leader, but since he is out of town
on the baseball trip, no definite an
nouncement cafa be made at this
I time.
Ned Twining is the only candidate
: in the field so far for junior man on
jthe council. Two are to be elected.
Open Air And Race
CompeteW ith Books;
“Spring Has Came”
They’re here! 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.

Organizations To Compete In
First Real Oregon Track
Meet of Season
VARSITY MEN RESTRICTED
Permanent Silver Trophy Cup Will
Be Presented to Winner by
Bill Hayward.
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.
Frosh track candidates are eligi
ble for any and all events, and pro

good weather continues, and from
the present outlook there will be
some record smashing.
“Bill” is anxious to have all the
entries listed and handed in by Wed
nesday afternoon in order that ar
rangements can be made for the pre
liminary heats if this is found nec
essary. Points will be made up
with 5 for first place, 4 for seconds,

DR. CARLISLE TELLS
OF STATE SURVEY
Dealing With Anti.Social Force*
Should Not be Left Only to
Experts, He Say*.
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

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.
