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

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
