SPECIAL FEATURES BEING COMPLETED FOR JUNIOR PROM Prizes For Week-End Events To Be Presented At Dance Saturday BOTH GLEE CLUBS TO SING > Grand March to Start at 8:15—Twelve Dances on Program—8-piece Orchestra Engaged In spite of the fact that the Junior Prom this year is to be flowerlesJs and taxiless, it is expected to be the very best Prom ever given here dur ing a Junior week-end, accodring to Wilbur Carl, head of the dance com mittee, who states that the elaborate decorations, extraordinary music and clever programs will make up for the taboo on taxis and corsage bouquets. The dance is to be formal in every sense and those underclassmen and preppers who will not appear in evening attire will be expected to wear stiff white collars at least, said Carl today, and must appear as formal as possible. The dance is scheduled to start promptly at 8:15 p.m. with no de lays. There will be twelve dances and no extras on the program. Im mediately following the sixth dance the two glee clubs will sing and the presentation of the various trophies, including the Gerlinger and Koyl cups, the Canoe Fete prizes, the costume parade prizes, and prizes for all the water sports events, will follow the inging. Juniors to Decorate Saturday morning every junior in college is expected to appear at the armory to do his share of the de corating, according to Nish Chap man, president of the class. Everett Pixley is head of the decorating com mittee. Tickets for the dance will be on sale by members of the junior class in each organization on the campus. All Oregon Club men may obtain their tickets from Roy Veatch at the Y. M. C. A., stated Capl, and they will be $1.25 including the war tax. Special guest tickets can be obtained free by presenting a list of the guests expected to Carl any time after Thursday. Cards will be given out, on the back of which each guest is to write his name, and these will :admit him to the dance free. Novel Programs Promised Other features of the dance in clude the 8-piece orchestra which will contribute all the latest pieces and add to the pep of the affair. “The programs are real ones this time,” declared Carl, “but will be kept for a surprise until time to dance.” Theo dora Stoppenbach is chairman of the program committee. Promotness is Urged As usual the armory is to be di vided into separate sections, one for each organization. This will elimin ate confusion and the men will know where to find their partners in this way. Signs will be posted to help the guests find their way back to their right places after eacl* dance. By special request of the heads of the dance committees the students are asked to go down the receiving line immediately upon entering the hall; this will do away with the rush and confusion and long waiting lines as are usually rim into at this time. The grand march will start sharply at 8:15, repeated Carl, and the com mittee urges that all Students be there by that time. The patrons and patronesses for the affair will be Governor and Mrs. Ben W. Olcott, President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Dean Elizabeth Fox, Dean and Mrs. D. Walter Morton. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Dixon and Mrs. W. F. Jewett. Two Promoted in R. O. T. C.

TO ENTER CONFERENCE MEET AT PALO ALTO Hayward Remains Behind With Frosh, and Foster Takes Charge of Varsity SOUTHERN TEAMS STRONG California Weather Conditions Give Too Great Advantage Over North, Says Trainer Seven members of Hayward’s track squad departed this afternoon on the 1:20 train for Palo Alto, California, where they will take part in the Pacific Coast Conference track and field meet which is being staged in the southern city under the auspices of Stanford university. Trainer Bill Hayward did not accompany his team but preferred to stay here and keep the Frosh team working in tip top shape for the dual meet with the O. A. C. rooks which will take place on Saturday. Captain "Hank” Foster will have charge of the team while in the south and with him on the trip are Leith Abbott, who will enter in the 8S0 yard dash, and Dick Sunderleaf for the 440. Glenn Walkley and Wayne Akers were taken as the dis tance men, Walkley to enter in both the two mile and one mile races, and Akers will enter in the mile. “Skin ny” Hargreaves will take care of the oread jump along with Hank Foster, and Hargreaves will also be entered in the high jump and javelin events. Ken Bartlett makes up the seventh man and will be entered in the dis cus and shot put. Foster will be entered in the 100 and 200 yard dash es in addition to the broad jump. Foster Faces Hard Test Foster took second in the 100 yard dash and first in the broad jump in the dual meet with the University of Washington at Seattle last Sat urday. His work in the south will be watched with a great deal of in terest. Hank’s time in the Washing ton meet for the century dash was leas than 10 2-6 seconds and he has been doing the time in 10 flat on the track here. It is expected that the California teams will spring some surprises, however, and the sprints promise bot competition. , Leith Abbott had little trouble in capturing first place in the Washing ton meet and it is expected that he will give a good account of himself at Palo Alto. He is regarded as one of the fastest half-mile men on the coast and is in his second year with the Varsity as a half-miler. Sophomores Promise Well Dick Sunderleaf, who is running the 440 yard dash, is working for his first year with the Varsity; he was a member of the frosh squad last season. Dick took second place in the Washington meet. Walkley is another sophomore who is winking good in the distance events this year. Glenn Won the mile at Seattle and finished second in the two mile race. “Skinny" Hargreaves is a letter man and captured second place in the javelin and the broad jump at the the Washington meet. He also plac ed third in the high jump and from ; the way he has been going so far i this season will in all probability place in the southern meet. Ken j Bartlett is the other letter man mak ! ing the squad. Ken is working for his last year on the track team this : season and captured second place at Washington meet last week in 1 both his events, the shot put and | discus. Akers is another sophomore who has been making good as a distance ! man. Trainer Hayward sent Akers along on the trip to work in the mile. Akers took third place in the Washington meet in this event. Trainer Hayward Pessimistic. “The chances are very poor for us to score many points in the Pacific Coast conference this season,” Bill Hayward said this morning when asked about the prospects for Ore* j gon in the south. "We are not in j shape to run up aginst those south ern teams.” "In fact the teams in the Northwest should not attempt to meet the southern teams in a Pacific Coast conference track, meet at all," said Hayward. "We are all right when it (Continued bn page 2.)
