1921.
NO. 134.
TO BE CLOSE, SOY
THICK OBPESTERS
Firsts Practically Decided;
Contest Probably For
Other Places.
U. S. C. NOT EXPECTED
TO ENTER TRACK TEAM
Bill Hayward to Direct Con
test; Officials Are
Named.
Anyone may win the Pacific Coast
Conference track meet next Saturday,
according to present dope. Four teams
are entered and 45 points should take
the meet, and as each squad is-believed
good for close to that number of points
the victorious team will probably have
but a slight margin.
The teams definitely entered in the
meet at the present time ere Oregon,
Washington State, University of Wash
ington and O. A. C. The University of
Southern California will probably not en
ter a team, according to latest informa
tion. No definite -word has been re
ceived from the southern school, but
with the announcement of the illness of
Paddock, Graduaate Manager Benefiel is
expecting cancellation.
Washington State College seems good
for two firsts, in the high jump, and the
pole vault, with Eldon .Tonne making the
trip to Eugene. They may be able to
take the two mile race away from O. A.
('. also, as they claim to have a dark
horse two-miler who is consistently beat
ing the old-time records of “Jitney”
Smith. Draper, of O. A. C.. may be able
to give them a run in the high jump
also.
Pope to Heave Discus.
"Washington and O. A. C. will probably
fight it out in the sprints. Washington
seems to have thp edge, but Snoolc, of
O. A. C., ran two good races here last
Saturday. Draper will probably take a
first for the Aggies in the high hurdles
with little competition. Sims ran a good
<SS0 here Saturday, and may take'it in
the coast meet.
G-us Pope, of Washington, will take the
discus with little trouble. Pope is heav
ing the plate over 150 feet this year,
which is 20 feet better than the other
men on the coast. He also looks good
to win the shot put for the Sun Dodgers,
but this will not be as easy as his other
event. Gap Powell, of 0. A. C., got a
heave of some 48 feet last week and
Pope cannot do much better. Strachan,
of Oregon, will not be far behind either
of these. Tuck should also be good for
a second place in the discus.
Oregon will win the javelin with Tuck
going in his present form. Bowles should
also be able to pick off the broad jump
for the home team. Although Collins
did not show to good advantage against
the Washington quarter-milers, the way
he ran last week makes him look good
to be among the first in his event.
Officials Chosen.
Four places will count in the meet
’and,with the first well split, the seconds
and thirds will probably decide the win
ner. All the teams are well balanced
and as each may enter only 12 men none
has the advantage.
The officials have been selected as
follows:
Wm, L. Hayward, director of meet;
T. Morris Dunne, referee, secretary P.
X. A.; Clyde Johnson, starter, Eugene.

Alpha Kappa Psi Initiates to Talk With
Brevity On Deep Subjects From
Library Steps.
A dramatic interpretation of the status
of foreign trade between the United
States and China; an attempt to sell
phonographs and sheet music; disserta
tions upon Greater Oregon—these are
some of the stunts in which the neophytes
of Alpha Kappa I’si. men’s professional
commerce fraternity, will entertain to
day.
1 lie pre-initiation performance will
take place from the library steps at
10:50, just before 11 o’clock classes. The
initiates are Robert F. Callahan, John
j\I. MacGregor, James Say, Carl New
burg, \\alter Cofoid and Spencer Col
lins. The Chinese foreign trade stunt
will be the collective effort of Newbury
and ( ofoid. Callahan will sell the music

The local chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi
was installed in 101(5, and since then has
elected some 50 members. The frater
nity was founded at New York Univer
sity in 1005. Chapters were recently
installed in the University of California
and Wisconsin. Oregon has one of the
three chapters on the Pacific coasr.
COL LHDER TO SPOK
ON IRISH CONDITIONS
Former Commandant Recently
Visited Country.
Colonel John Leader, commandant of
the campus cadets during the war train
ing period, will be a University guest
next week and will address the student
body on May 26 concerning his recent
trip to Ireland and the conditions of the
country as a result of the civil strife.
The Colonel needs no introduction to
the majority of the faculty and student
body, especially those who were on the
campus during the war days and had the
opportunity of a personal acquaintance
with the genial and distinguished soldier
who guided the training of the Univer
sity student-soldiers.
With a lengthy war record in the Brit
ish army that includes active service in
practically all of the British possessions,
and command of a British regiment in
France during part of the world war,
Colonel Leader's military achievements
and iiAeresting adventures coupled witji
a winning personality made him a popu
lar member of the University faculty
during the busy training days.
Forced by disability to relinquish his,
commadd in France, the Colonel came to
the United States and carried on his in
terrupted military service by instructing
the Oregon cadets and is credited with
a large share of the credit of their effi
< lent and thorough training.
The Colonel’s recent trip to Ireland
was in the interest of his estate which
had suffered during the internal warfare,
and what he saw and heard over there
will form the basis of his assembly ad
dress.
DO YOU NEED SOAP?
VISIT Y. M. OR Y. W.
Colgate .Company .Gives .Packages of
Toilet Accessories For
Advertisement.
There is no excuse for any students at
the University not being all slicked up
for Junior Week-end, when free of
charge they may walk into either the
V. M. C. A. or the Y. W. C. A.and get a
mat little package tied with Oregon rib
bons. containing all the attributes of a
thorough cleanup.
Soap, tooth paste, cold cream and tal
cum powder for the ladies, and shaving
cream, more tooth paste, cold cream, and
soap for the men. It’s hard to believe
they are free, that is why the girls start
in cautiously, but you should see the way
the little boxes leave the bungalow after
the girls are assured it is all free. Hands
full, pockets bulging, and then a few
stuck around promiscuously, just for
;ood measure.
The reason for this is an advertising
scheme of Colgate company, but it re
nains to be seen what kind of an influ
ence it has on the students when the
L800 little packages reach their destina
ion. The Y. W. C. A. bungalow has been
i busy place and over 500 girls have re
ceived the samples so far.

MEN'S LEAGUE WILL
SIT BILL SERIES
TODIY ITS O'CLOCK
One Defeat to Eliminate; No
Consolation Round to
Be Staged.
Weather permitting, the race for the
doughnut baseball championship of the
men’s organizations of the University of
Oregon starts this afternoon at. 5, when
Bachelordon meets Delta Theta .Phi. A
game is also scheduled Thursday at the
same hour between Chi Psi and Friendly
Hall. Tlie rest, of the games in the pre
liminary round will be played off. if pos
sible, in the next two weeks. Until the
close of the varsity season all of the con
tests wlil be pulled after regular varsity
practice.
There will be no consolation round,
due to insufficient time in which to play
off the scekdule, and a team once de
feated is definitely out. of the running
for the cup. Varsity equipment will be
used for the games, i.e., bats, catchers’
equipment, etc., while the balls will be
furnished, probably two to a game while
they last, by the physical education de
partment.
Umpires will be taken from the Order
of the “O” and from the school of phy
sical education, and Coach Bolder urges
that there be no arguments with, or rag
ging of, the umpires, but whether this
caution was given for the safety of the
players or the well being of the umpires,
the writer is not able to state.
House Schedule Given.
The way in which the teairis will line
up follows: Bachelordon vs. Delta Theta
Phi; Chi Psi vs. Friendly; Delta Tan
Delta vs. Phi Sigma Pi; Kappa Theta
Chi vs. Sigma Nu; Sigma Alpha Epsilon
vs. Kappa Sigma; Fiji vs. Beta Theta
Pi; Oregon Club vs. Alpha Tau Omega,!
and Sigma Chi vs. Phi Delts. The games j
will he limited to seven innings as it is I
deemed impractical to play full nine
inning contests after 5 o’clock. The
dares for the playing of the games not
scheduled for the current week will be
announced at the beginning of the week
in which they are to be played.
Incligibles Are Listed.
The following named varsity men are
declared ineligible for the doughnut ser
ies by Coach Oeorge M. Bolder: Itein
hart, Leslie, Knudsen, Gamble, Jacob
son, Jacobberger, Berg, Gray, M. Lath
am, Boiler, Base, Collins, Svarverud and ^
Zimmerman. Freshmen me'n on the
yearling squad and unavailable for the
series are: Sorsb.v, Goodrich. Baldwin,
Dinty Moore, Knight, Ward Johnson,
Terry Johnson, Ringle, Wright, DeAr
mond, \>otiglas, Alstock.
Coach Bohler’s parting advice to the
men participating in the doughnut games,
before the big show starts, is. '‘Play ball!
Bun them out! Don’t argue! and when
one comes over, hit it!”
DEAN ON ANNUAL TOUR
Dr. Straub Says Money Conditions May
Affect Attendance Next Year.
“For the first time in 15 years I can’t
make any estimate of how many stu
dents will bei n attendance here next
fall,” said Dean Straub Monday, on his
return from St. Helens, where he ad
dressed the high school. “Money condi
tions are so uncertain that very few stu
dents are now able to tel^whether or not
they can go to school next fall.”
Dean Straub last week started on his
annual round of high school graduation
addresses by talking to the senior class
of St. Helens high school on May 11.
From now until well along in June his
time will bp largely taken up by travel
ing back and forth across the state from '
town to town. The first week of June
finds the Dean scheduled for practically
every night of the week in widely sepa
rated towns, involving some speedy |
transportation from place to place.
PLEDGE ANNOUNCED.
Delta Theta Phi announces the pledg-j

Oregon. I
Acceptance Not Definitely Made, But Action
Will Likely Get Favorable Reception;
Committee Appointed to Settle
Question of Salary.
George Hug, a graduate of the University of Oregon in l!t07, who has since
tiiat. time been active in University affairs, was last, night, elected graduate man
ager to succeed Marion McClain, who resigned from that office last month.
Hug had not definitely accepted the position last night, but it was thought likely
that, he would. The salary was not determined at. the joint meeting of the ath
letic council and the executive committee, where the election was held, but, will
be determined later, a special committee consisting of President Campbell, lto
\ni(l, 1 iff any and ( artyon Savage, having been appointed for that, purpose.
Hug will probably not take charge of bis new duties until next, fall, as his
present position as superintendent of the Salem public schools does not. release
him until September. In the interim, it is probable that .Tack Hcnefiel, who
has been acting graduate manager since the resignation of McClain was accepted
will fill the position, although this will also be determined by the committee.
Hug was unanimously elected to the position at the joint meeting of the two
councils last night, which lasted four hours. He was not an active candidate
for the position, but. those on the council who had charge of securing candidates
for that office selected him as the best prospect, for the position, and his name
was most discussed of the several brought up at the meeting.
“Come Early/' Is Advice of
Ticket Committee.
“You’ll have to come early if you want
good seats at “Nothing I5ut the Truth.”
This is the prophecy of the committee in
charge of the ticket sale, who report
that a number of houses are planning to
have men in line the night before the
ticket office opens, in order to get their
choice of seats.
Absolutely no tickets will he sold be
fore 10 o’clock Friday morning, the day
of the play, says the committee. The
limit for one person is 30 tickets, so
houses wishing to purchase more than
that number will have to have two or
more men in line. The prices are 50
cents and $1.00.
John Houston, director of the produc
tion. reports that “Nothing But the
Truth” is going to he one of the biggest
events of the year in college dramatics
and that practices indicate that things
are going to move along with semi-pro
fessional quality.
Critics of the play, who have seen re
hearsals, report that, it is full of de
lightful humor and laughable comedy sit
uations. The way Neil Morfitt flirts
with the chorus girls and the troubles of
some of the other characters are sure
laugh-makers, according to the director.
“LEMMY” WILL BE OUT
FOR JUNIOR WEEK-END
Eisman Says Campus Comic Will Make
Its Appearance Next Friday; Called
Piggers’ Number.
If present, plans carry, the last issue
of “Lemmy” for the year will make its
appearance next Friday, according to
Stan Eisman, editor. The magazine is
now on the press and the binding is ex
pected to be completed next Thursday
night at the latest. It. will he called the
‘Tiggers’ Number” and will contain 28
pages.
Special effort and extra expense were
put into the last issue, according to Eis
man. It will contain 22 cuts, including
two full page cartoons, one drawn by
Wilbur Hulin and the other by Owen Cal
laway. This will be the first issue of
Lemon Punch put out under Hammer and
Coffin sand dashes were received from
Seattle in time to run this issue. Several
feature surprises are promised, one of
them by E. J. II., as well as a number of
snappy jokes which promise to make this
the best number of the year.
The cover was drawn by Frank Short,
and is finished in black and yellow and
is said to be one of the best yet drawn.
It was printed in Portland. Extra copies
are being printed, according to Harris
Ellsworth, and will be on sale during
Junior Week-end. He asks that organi
zations turn in the number of extra cop
ies desired immediately so that plans can
be made.
The Junior Week-end issue marks the
last of four issues put out by the Lemon
Punch Publishing Society during the
year. “Lemmy” was established on the
campus in November and since that time
has become an important factor in Uni
versity life.
The newly-elected graduate manager
was active while a student in the Univer
sity, having been for three yenrs a mem
ber of the varsity football team, and is
still remembered ns one of the best cen
ters ever produced here, lie was for
four years a member of the track team
and for two years its captain, holding at
one time northwest, records in the shot
and hammer, lie was also president of
the associated students during his senior
year, and at. one time associate editor of
the Emerald.
After his graduation ids interest in
University activities continued, and he
served for ten years as a member of the
athletic council, and was one of those
who helped to organize the present north
west conference, of which he was for
two years secretary. He also acted as
assistant coach of football here for one
year.
At present he is superintendent of tthe
Salem public schools. For five years be
fore that time lie was superintendent of
the McMinnville public schools, and eight
years before that principal of the Eugcnr
high school. He established brilliant re
cords at each place,. succeeding in making
friends among his associates and stu
dents not only by his personality but be
cause of his ability to readjust financia1
conditions which were unsatisfactory be
fore lie accepted the positions.
At the joint meeting of the councils
last night, George Holder was unani
mously re-elected coach of basketbul'
and baseball for the coming year.
KILPATRICK GOES TO
PORTLAND IN PLANE
Earl Kilpatrick Uses Aerial Route to Go
to Portland Meeting; Good
Time Made.
Earl Kilpatrick, director of tlio ex
tension division, Inis long claimed that
members of his department have occasion
to regularly use practically every means
of transportation known in the state. It
remained for Mr. Kilpatrick himself to
call an airplane into service for a bus
iness trip, however.
Yesterday noon Air. Kilpatrick left the
Eugene aviation field in a commercial
plane bound for a meeting in Portland
of the debate league executive commit
tee. President Campbell and John C.
Almaek were supposed to go but they
were unable to get. away, and Mr. Kil
patrick volunteered to make the trip. To
save time and gain a thrill first hand, he
took advantage of an invitation to go
by air.
A stop was made at Salem for gas
and the machine was delayed here for
about an hour. The flight to Portland
was otherwise uneventful and Mr. Kilpat
rick reached his destination about 4
o’clock in the afternoon. He at once put
through a long distance call to Mrs. Kil
patrick telling her of his arrival in the
Itose City. lie returned to Eugene on
a late train last night.
