PREMIER ATHLETES

IK SEATTLE TODAY
Oregon Stands Fair Chance to
Win Track Gonfalon in
Coast Meet
RELAY RACES TO BE GOOD
Spearow May Be Hard Pressed
by 0. A. C. Vaulter Who
Ascends 13 Feet
TDoday in Seattle track fapis will
■view the culminating event of the year,
in the Pacific-Northwest Conference
meet. Approximately 60 athletes, rep
resenting six of the biggest schools of
the coast, will take part in the numer
ous track and field contests.
The 12 Oregon men who left here
Thursday are on deck to wrest points
from the top notchers, and with an
oven break they stand a fighting
chance of coming out near the top if
not in the lead. Dope points toward
close competition in every event
scheduled. In past meets the results
in the major portions of contests have
been so close that each coach feels
that his particular protege has a chance
■of winning.
Teams Have Developed
Perhaps Washington has accom
plished more than any of the others
-earlier in the season, but late season
development in other colleges is likely
to prove fatal to her thus-far unbeat
able scoring machine. Both Oregon
and O. A. C. have presented a changed
front since the trio last tangled, and
Edmundson’s men are going to be put
hard to it to sustain their records.
No doubt there will be less compe
tition in the field events than in the
races, and also there is less likely to
be general upsetting of the dope. The
racers have their off and on days and
with the chances for victory pretty
wall balanced, any of the dashes or
longer runs may result in a surprise
ending.
Spearow Looks Good
Ralph Spearow of Oregon stands
first in the season’s output of pole
vaulters that compete today. He has
•won first in all Oregon’s meets this
year, his highest record being 12 feet
3 inches, and that against the Aggies
at Corvallis. However, he has gone
nearly a foot higher and he will prob
ably need all of this against the O. A.
C. champion who won from the Cou
gars at 13 feet. Spearow’s broad jump
ing ability makes him the potential
winner in that event. His best record
this year was made against the Ags in
the dual meet when he went 22 feet 6
inches. These two records, together
with his high jumping ability, gives
him a strong bid for high point man
of the day.
The relay should be one of the best
races of the meet. All entrants have
strong teams against which Oregon has
a good chance, if things break right,
Vic Risley, who will run in this event,
looks better in every 440 yard he runs.
In the dual meset with Washington
here last week he was the last man to
run, and while the Husky runner had
a 15-yard lead on him at the outset,
Risley cut the distance in half before
the round finished. Sundeleaf, Wyatt
and Rosebraugh, who go to make up
the rest of the team, should be able to
give a good account of themselves, as
they are in good shape and capable of
running with the best.
On the whole Oregon has a fighting

PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEY
OF OREGON IS PRINTED
Report on Mental Defects, Delinquency
and Dependency Made by Carlisle
Published by Government
The preliminary statistical report, in
the form of public health bulletin No.
112, of the Oregon state survey of
mental defect, delinquency and de
pendency, made in 1920 by Dr. Chester
L. Carlisle of the U. S. Public Health
Service, through the extension division
of the University, has been received
from the government printing office at
Washington, D. C.
The survey was requested by the
state legislature and was initiated by
the interest of the people of Oregon
in promoting public health. The Uni
versity, through its extension division,
asked the Public Health Service to
act as director of the survey, and Dr.
Carlisle was sent to take charge of
the work. Aid was solicited from pub
lic-spirited citizens all over the state,
and a state-wide campaign in mental,
physical, and social hygiene was car
ried on. .
In addition to the statistics of child
delinquency, the mentally defective
child in industry, and dependents, the
bulletin contains a letter written by
Dr. Carlisle telling of the origin, ob
ject, scope and methods of the survey,
and a letter of appreciation to the U.
S. Health Service and to Dr. Carlisle
from P. L. Campbell, president of the
University.
NEW COLLECTION COMING
UNIVERSITY MUSEUM ADDITION
CONTAINS INDIAN RELICS
Mrs. Adah B. Millican, ex-Student,
to Loan Art Objects for
Indefinite Period
A new addition to the University
museum will be the collection of In
dian baskets and other Indian relics,
which Mrs. Ada B. Millican of Prine
ville plans to loan indefinitely to thie
University, according to Karl Onthank,
secretary to the president.
This collection, which consists cnief
ly of baskets woven by the Indians, is
said to be one of the most interesting
and valuable in the w<est, Mr. Onthank
says. It will be loaned to the Univer
sity because the owner feels that in this
way it will be of the greatest use to
many persons. It will be of particular
interest to art students, says Mr. On
thank, and is also of great value to
the student of anthropology, although
the University has as yet done little
work in this field.
Mrs. Millican is a former student of
the University, and has taken work
here within a few years. She has al
ways been very much interested in
University affairs. Mrs. Millican is a
native of Oregon, where her family
came in pioneer days, and she has
lived much of the time in the eastern
part of the state.
RUCH, ’15, GOES TO IOWA
Accepts Assistant Professorship at
University
G. M. Ruch, who receives his doctor
of philosophy degree this year from
Leland Stanford university, has ac
cepted a position as assistant professor
of education at the University of Iowa.
Ruch was graduated from the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1915 and spent
two years as instructor of science in
the University high school, serving in
the capacity of principal in 1918-19.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M.
Ruch, 1353 Agate street.
R. O. TTAT.T. RE-ELECTED
R. C. Hall, superintendent of the
University Press and member of the
journalism faculty, was re-elected sec
retary-treasurer of the Eugene typo
graphical union No. 496, at a meeting
held Wednesday.
“Americanization Great Need
Today,”Says Mrs. Richardson
“We need you western people in the
east to help further the great work of
Americanization. We need western
men in congress and we need for you
women to realize that yon are needed
as municipal housekeepers.” This was
the message of Anna Steese Bichardson
to the students of the University of
Oregon.
Mrs. Bichardson, who is nationally
known for her work on the editorial
staff of the Woman’s Home Compan
ion, was the guest of Miss Louise
Fitch yesterday. She is touring the
United States in order to stndy condi
tions in universities and colleges, with
a view of publishing the results of
her work in the Woman’s Home Com
panion.
Mrs. Bichardson spoke informally to
students at different times throughout
the day and opportunity was given to
meet her personally during the after
noon. One of the many inspiring
thoughts that she brought to the cam
pus was that the present anxiety about
the American girl is only a phase of
growth that like everything else will
pass away. Mrs. Richardson has un
bounded faith in the American girl
and in her ability and willingness to
face life squarely and do the right
thing. “You can’t get c, rise out of
me about the flapper,” she said.
In questioning students Mrs. Rich
ardson was particularly interested in
finding out their favorite fiction writ
ers and also whether or not the young
people of today are getting their ro
mance and advenutre through books or
through the movies.
Mrs. Richardson was greatly pleased
at finding such a majority of Ameri
cans in the west, people with American

SPRING GRID WORK
10 START MONDAY
SAYS HUNTINGTON
Linemen Needed to Fill Gaps
Made by Graduation of
Last Year’s Stars
GOOD TURNOUT NECESSARY
Chapman Expected to Rank
with Latourette and
Anse Cornell
Spring football, which was aban
doned during the first of the terra be
cause of the fact that Football Coach
Shy Huntington also was coach of the
freshman baseball team, is to begin in
earnest Monday, and Shy wants every
Varsity letterman, every freshman
football man, and anybody else out who
think they can play football.
Although most students on the cam
pus think that Oregon is going to have
a wonderful team next year, they will
be badly surprised, Shy says, unless
the men will respond to his plea and
turn out in force for spring practice.
The ordinary student, Shy claims, is
inclined to think of the seven or eight
letter men who will be back next year
and pass snap judgment that we should
produce a wonderful team, without con
sidering the other three or four places
on the team.
Graduation Takes Stars
Several of the best men on the squad
are lost by graduation, and some of
the others are not planning to return,
and Shy thinks that there will be
plenty of room on the team next year
for men who will come out and work
hard if they have only mediocre abil
ity. Some of th^ men whose places
will have to be filled next year are
“Spike” Leslie, who, Shy has said, is
to be ranked as one of the two or three
really great tackles that Oregon has
ever had. Both of the ends, Neil Mor
fitt and Mart Howard, will be lost via
the sheepskin route, and Scotty
Strachan, the big boy who has played
for the last two years at tackle and
guard, will leave a hard place to fill.
The men who turn out for spring
practice will be given a big advantage
in training for next year’s work, Shy
says, for if there are enough men out
to scrimmage, he intends to try out
several sets of new plays and forma
tions of which he has heard and
thought out. The men will also be
given quite a bit of kicking and pass
ing practice besides the signal work.
Results Expected of Frosn
Shy mentioned several of the fresh
men on this year’s team whom he
thought ought to make good in Var
sity circles. Among these were Dwight
French, Tprgeson, Spear, Bliss, Rein
hart, Wilson, Guldager, and Bracher.
Guldager is especially well built for
the game, Shy thinks, and may de
velop into a good backfield man; Sut
ton, French, and Terjeson have already
proved their worth in the backfield
and ought to show up wrell next year.
Haak, who had a great deal of prom
ise as a quarterback, has left school
and will be missed from the candidates
for the backfield next season.
Bill Spear, Bliss, and Beinhart will
make some of the veterans work for
their places on the Varsity next year
if they live up to their freshman form.
Spear is a fast, aggressive lineman and
should tear up things. Bliss is rather
small, but is one of the most aggres
sive men seen in that position here
for several years. He uses his head
consistently and is always in the right
place.
Chapman Promising Quarter
Hal Chapman and Dutch Gram have
been out quite a bit this spring prac
ticing kicking and passing, and now
that baseball is over Hunk Latham will
appear with them. Between these
three men Bhy thinks the kicking end
of the game will be well taken care of
next fall. Chapman, who had his first
year at Varsity quarterback this sea
son, gathered in quite a bit of experi
ence as a result of some of the games,
and Shy predicts that he will rank
with Latourette and Cornell by the
time he graduates.
These men have it in them to turn
out one of the most successful teams
that Oregon has ever had, Shy says,
but to do it they will have to practice
together consistently, not only next
fall, but also this spring, and for that
reason he made a special plea that all
the men who could possibly come out,
do so as only about an hour and a half
will be taken up in the practice each
night.

“The aim of the Women’s Athletic
association this year has been to in
terest a larger number of girls in
sports, especially those who are not
majoring in the physical education de
partment,” said Margaret Russell,
president of the association. She also
expressed herself as being well pleased
with the results, for 71 letters will be
awarded this afternoon and a cup will
go to each class providing the fresh
men take the baseball game this
morning.
A number of girls have succeeded in
capturing more than one letter and
from the standpoint of letters won,
Charlotte Howells and Helen King
might be considered the best all-round
athletes. Both girls will receive four
letters. Mary Hathaway, Mildred
Crain and Grace Sullivan will each re
ceive three letters.
NEW TINTING FOR VILLARD
Assembly Room to Be Redecorated for
First Time In Several Tears
The assembly room in Villard hall
will be tinted and redecorated during
the summer, according to a statement
issued yesterday by W. K. Newell, the
superintendent of properties. Mr.
Newell was not able to say what colors
would be used in retinting but an
nounced that it would be a more at
tractive shade than that covering the
walls and ceilings at present.
No one could be found on the cam
pus yesterday who was able to recall
the last time the assembly room was
tinted. H. M. Fisher, who has been
on the campus about 14 years, believes
a coat of kalsomine was applied to the
assembly room seven or eight years
ago.

Seniors at Sigma Nu Bust Hold
Forth in Gay Revel Last Night
Myriads of stars—silent sentinels of
the vastness of space—which coursed
across the unclouded skies of Eugene
last night, have for many years twin
kled above the tent of the desert no
mad, the vessel of the pilfering pirate,
the sheltering hut of the Bed Cross
nurse, the limousine of the man dreesed
in “fish and soup,” the home of the
country maid, but not very often have
these scintillating fires of the firma
ment cast their radiance over such a
caravanserai as was the Bigma Nu
house last night. Variety, ’tis said, is
the spice of life, and the seniors in
their annual bust were immersed in
spicy incense.
Fearfully, an Emerald news extractor
stole into the Sigma Nu house late yes
terday evening in quest of the Sheik of
the seniors, Leith Abbott. Leaning
over the balustrade of the sairway, a
painted pirate, with his head encircled
with a bandana, skull and crossbones,
boldly outlined on his chest, mustache
curled toward the dimmed lights, harsh
ly called out orders to his crew. This
fierce replica of Jolly Boger was
asked if thie senior president was
aboard. “I’m Leith Abbott,” was the
informative reply as a petite dairy
maid enticed him into the swirl of the
advocates of the light fantastic.
Last night was the final opportunity
given the sedate seniors to slip out of
their cloak of formality and enjoy
again for a single eve the care-free
spirit of frosh frivolity. Wildness was
predominant.
Many strange costumes were in evi
dence last night, and this strangeness
was characteristic of both man and
maid. Wide-rimmed Mexican som
breros ducked and gyrated with silk
