p Oregon Emerald VOLUME t\ EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1920 MAY 20, 1920 go MUD MAT SPRIG SMIL WISES II DUAL MEETTOMORROW Tweir^*Sov«n Men to Enter In Contest With Aggies at Corvallis NEW ENTRY FOR NILE Darkhprae Billed For Distanpf Event; Hemenwsy To Compete; Abbott May Run 440. Bill Hayward hes several surprises tq hand the Aggies in the dual meet at Cpryallis tomorrow, hut the Cprvallis men consider that they will have no trouble blanking the Oregon protogees. The changes that are being made in the team are deep se crets, known only to those on the In side. Done has leafed out, however, that the entrees In the mile will be one of the biggest surprises of the sea son. Bill has some unknown athlete up his sleeve that he intends to use to good advantage against Mike But ler’s man. Oregon will have 27 men entered In the meet, and the reason that these men have not been assigned to events is because Hayward intends to wait until the meet and see which events the Aggies are weakest in, which events Oregon can win the most points in, and assign the men accord i ingly. In this way Oregon may be / able to pick up a good many extra points. Leith Abbott will run the quarter mile, it was thought today by - ath letic authorities. It is a question whether or not he will run the 880, but it seems likely that he will do so. Wayne Akers has also been changed for he will perform in the half mile instead of the mile. Ak ers has been working- on this event for some time in preparation for the first meet. Of course nothing is certain in a jtrack meet, but It seems likely that Oregon will take firsts in the jave lin, 100 yd. dash, pole vault, quarter or 880, discuss, relay, and perhaps the 220. Tii|p prediction does npt take in account the seconds and thirds, which if all things break right may win the meet for the lemon-yel low. Roscoe Hemenway will be one of the new actors in the contest. He has been out working consistently in the speed events for some time. Sev eral times in the past he has outrun Snook, the famed Q-A.C. speed mer chant, and it is probable that he will repeat. • Many Oregon students are planning on going to Corvallis this week end for the track meet and baseball games. The interest in Corvallis in the track contest is unusually keen because the O.A.C. men yriah to re peat the defeat they handed Hay ward’s men last spring. Twenty seven husky Oregon men leave to morrow for Corvallis to make the best of the “fighting chance" Oregon is said to have with O.AC. FROSH TRACK TEAM TO MEET JEFFERSON Saturday at 2:30 on Kincaid Field Is Time 8et; Participants Not Chosen Yet The Freshman track team will be seen in action again on Kincaid held next Saturday at 2:30 against the Jefferson high school of Portland. Jefferson high has one of the best teams in the Portland intercholastic league. From the drubbing the Frosh gave the Washington high boys a week ago there seems to be no doubt but that the Frosh will add another vic tory to their list. Nothing definite has been given opt by “Bill” Hayward as to wbp aQd how many men will participate |n the meet, because there has been no word received from Jefferson as to how many men they are going to bring. A plan is afoot to schedule a meet between the state “all-stars” and the Frosh. If thl^ cannot be done Sat urday’s meet will wind up the season for the Frosh. 5 FACULTY MEMBERS BID TO HONOR 6RQUP UNIVERSITY HONOR SOCIETY INCREASES NUMBER OF MEMBERSHIP Five members of the University of Oregon faculty, who are graduates of this university, have just been elect ed to membership in the University Honor Society, an organization form ed by faculty members belonging to Pri Beta Kappa, national honorary scholarship fraternity.

Mr. Jackson gave a brief sketch of how the forestry service works and outlined briefly the organization with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Camp Fires Dangerous “The national forests are for the people of the state, and all we ask is that you are careful with your camp fires. You may use all the fuel you need, breathe as much of the air as you can, take in as much of the scenery as possible, and all we ask in return is that you obey a few rules-yhich are for the safety of our forests and the wild life in them.” Seventy-five per cent of all forest fires are caused by human careless ness, said Mr. Jackson, which we could avoid if we would ohly be careful with our fire and cigarettes. The other 25 per cent is attributive to lightning, he stated. (governor Ben Olcott was at the as sembly for a few minutes, having stopped over en route home from Grants Pass for a conference in con nection with establishing an airplane fire patrol for Oregon.

ANXIOUS JUNIOR RELIEVED Senior Girls Really Know What Car They Are Taking What all-important freshman, new ly arrived at his alma mater and thinking the whole world lay at his feet merely for the taking, has not stepped onto a College* Crest car and, after riding for several odd miles, come to the conclusion that he had a little bit to learn after all! A well known junior walked down Willamette street. Also two equally well known senior girls did the same. The girls stepped out from the curb as a street car stopped, and prepared to get on. The junior man glanced up at the car, gave a gasp of horror, and rushed up to the girls. "Hey," he cried, ‘that’s the College Crest car.” “We know it,” came the sweet re-j sr.onse from the senior girls, “that’s where we are going.” Nurse Committee Meets The nurse committee of the Lanei County Public Health Service, of which Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the Extension Division, is chair man held a meeting Wednesday even ing.
