Polls will be open from 9 o’clock
until 3 today in the library entrance,
where the annual election of officers
for Women’s League will be held. As
formerly, balloting is being held on
the Tuesday following nominations at
mass meeting. New officers will be
anounced tomorrow.
Elections this year are teeming with
excitement, for both candidates for
president are very strong in campus
affairs, and competition will be keen.
Last year there was only one candi
date for president. A close run for
all other offices is expected, as all
candidates are especially’ fitted for
their respective offices. There are three
candidates for the position of sergeant
at-arms.
Elections Early This Year
It was decided to hold Women’s
League elections this year much earlier
than is usual, for in other years they
have always conflicted with the rush
of Junior Week-end, or with student
body elections. By holding elections
earlier, it was thought to allow more
time for consideration of candidates,
and also the new officers will have am
ple time to be instructed in their du
ties before the close of the term. In
this way the executive body for the
coming year will be in working order
at the beginning of the fall term.
Last yearf balloting for Women’s
League officers was very light, only
about one-half of the women students
voting. Every woman on the campus
is entitled to a vote, and, as much of
the success of the coming year depends
upon the officers elected, all women
are urged to take an interest in the
election. All officers of Women’s
League automatically become members
of executive council of the League,
which directs all Women’s League acti
vities, and many campus affairs.
No Nominations from Ploor
At a mass meeting Thursday Mar
garet Scott gave the report of the nom
inating committee, of which Florence
Jaggar was chairman. There were no
nominations from the floor, and when
the nominations were closed Friday
noon, no other candidates had been
announced.
Newly elected officers will be in

GUM ADDICTS NO
LONGER TROUBLE
Stray Articles Worry
Library Janitor
The gum chewing, paper-wad addict
is no longer a problem to the janitors
of the various buildings on the campus,
who say that the Students are unusual
ly careful this term about refraining
from throwing papers around the class
rooms. The number of unclaimed rub
bers, umbrellas, caps, and wraps in
their possession are somewhat of a
worry to them, though, and one ven
tured the opinion that a lot of students
must be proof against rain.
The hall in the basement of the lib
rary seems to be a favorite place for
some to sit around, the janitor says,
and study and chat and incidentally
tear up a page of discarded notes per
haps, which goes fluttering down to
the floor. “It isn’t intentional on
either part, though,” the caretaker re
marked.
A large pair of scissors around the
school of journalism is entirely res
ponsible for small bits of papers found
around those rooms, according to the
man in charge there. Although the un
der side of the seats in the Assembly
room in Yillard almost represent a for
tune in gum, Mr. Morthland, who takes
care of the building, is not inclined
to blame the active students for this
accumulation of years.
ALPHA CHI OMEGA GIVES
S1000 TO STUDENT UNION
Five Women’s Houses Made
Subscriptions to Fund
The number of women’s houses that
have subscribed to the proposed Student
Union building was raised to five last
night, when Alpha Chi Omega pledged
$1000 to the fund. This is the eighth
campus organization to make a subscrip
tion. The money will be raised by means
of a ten-year endowment policy which
will be turned over to the Union fund
upon maturity.

ETHICS CONTEST DROPPED
Code Prize Offered by Mrs. Gerlinger
Has Few Claimants
The contest for the Co-ed Code of
ethics, started by Mrs. George Gerling
er of Portland", member of the board of
regents, will probably be dropped until
another year because so few codes were
submitted and those submitted were not
entirely satisfactory. Of the five or
six that were turned in, the committee
chose the three best and sent them to
Mrs. Gerlinger, who has offered a ten
dollar prize for the best code.
“Some of the codes were of very good
sentiment, but were too long,” said
Dean John Straub, in charge of the
contest, “and others did not express
the right sentiment.”
Burning Green Caps Will End
Frosh Period of Servitude
i
Junior week-end is rapidly approach
ing, and this is a great event to the
lowly freshman. The track meet, the
ball games, the other festivities all in
terest him, but there is one event of far
greater import—the riddance of that ob
noxious green beany. •
That green bonnet—the badge of hum
ility and subjection—will be sacrificed
to the gods of tradition and fire, as a
part of junior week-end festivities. His
apprenticeship is at an end and it is with
a sigh of relief and contentment that
he trudges homeward in his wet clothes
after the annual ablution in the race and
the sacrificing orgy of the green derby.
Purged of all his neophytie sins he
emerges from the campus Jordon with a
new feeling—with a feeling that there
is something before him. He has been
tried by the University student body and
found good—the balance of the scales
have tipped in his favor and he takes his
place among his fellow students with
the feeling that it is rightfully his by
dint of seven months of subjection and
humiliation.
As he emerges from the dip in the
diminutive Styx, the first words to pass j
his lips probably are, “Wait’ll next;
year,” That is the proper spirit, for, i
after being put through the mill, there
is no one better qualified than he to
expound Oregon ideals and traditions to
the incoming class, and it is with eager
ness that he awaits that eventful day in
i the early fall when the new crop of green-1
cappers line up along old Kincaid, with
a foolish grin on their faces and one
i pants leg rolled atop the knee. They
will wonder what it is all .bout and the
present knights of the green skypiece
are well informed on how to put them
wise.
This year, as in other years, th? young
neophytes have mutilated their tonsorial

ALUMNI Of STATE
BACK AGITATION
TO KEEP BOHLER
\
Petition To Have Coach Stay
is Signed Already By
Over 1000 Students
ATHLETES ARE UNANIMOUS
Inspirational Work of Baseball
and Basketball Mentor
Praised by Men
Alumni from all parts of the state
are throwing their influence with the
students in the effort to retain George
Bohler as basketball and baseball
coach at the University, and latest de
velopments are that expressions of their
disfavor with Dean John Bovard’s ac
tion in dismissing Coach Bohler will
be printed not only in the Emerald, but
in other papers of the state, as one of
the Portland dailies had a special cor
respondent on the campus ovdr the
week-end investigating the affair.
Petition^ (requesting the retention
of the popular coach were circulated
among the students over the week-end,
and it is estimated that more than 1,000
have signed already and that before
they are turned in over 90 per cent, of
the students will have signified their
support of George Bohler in this way.
Copies of these petitions can be obtain
ed at the Co-op and the Emerald office
for those students who have not had
the privilege of signing so far.
Petitions will also be at the Y hut
and Y. W. C. A. Bungalow. Those in
dividuals who have been circulating
the petitions are asked to get as many
more signatures as possible, and then
turn in the petitions at the Emerald
office tonight.
Work Is Praised
The wording of the petition is to
the effect that Coach Bohler has not
only succeeded very well in coaching
of his teams, but that he also possesss
that rare quality of being an “inspir
ational coach” and of inspiring his
teams with that sort of spirit.
It continues that he has made a re
markable showing with the material
at hand, and has been instrumental in
developing a fine spirit in the intra
mural sports which he has had charge
of, and that his loss would jeopardize
the spirit of clean athletics and high
sportsmanship which is prevalent now.
The petition then goes on to request
that all efforts be made to retain
Coach Bohler, and that pressure be
brought to bear to settle the present
difficulties.
One thing noticeable about the sign
ing of the petition and the spirit among
the students is the representation of
the athletes with whom Coach Bohler
has worked, for they are 100 per cent
behind him, and this means a great
deal, for when the Varsity men <e-nd
subs and second string men forget their
own troubles and grievances against a
coach and unitedly back him in a time
like this it certainly proves beyond
a doubt that he has ability and person
ality.
Student Opinion Aroused
This petition ■v»ill bring out very
plainly just how the students stand on
the situation, but that is about as far
as it goes, for student opinion is evi
dently not of much consequence in the
government of this University. If the
petition had embodied the true feel
ings of the framers it would more prob
ably have been one for the release of
John Bovard from the faculty, for ever
since the Dean has assumed the office
of dean of the school of physical edu
cation there has been constant friction
in the department between the Dean
and the coaches.
The present situation is only an
example of several others which have
preceeded it and the sentiment of the
students seems to be that if Dean Bo
card continues in office there will
without a doubt be many more like
it. It appears therefore that the trou
ble has only begun, and with the Alum
ni lining up with the students it ap
pears as if there is much more trou
ble ahead than the Dean contemplated.
HIGH SCHOOL GAME SCHEDULED
The second game of the season for
the U. II. S. nine will be played Wed
nesday afternoon with the Hendricks
high school on the south Willamette
diamond. Dope seems to favor the
Hendricks team, since they defeated
the Albany team 14-9, while the cam
pus team was defeated by the Corvallis
team Friday in a close game which end
ed with a score of 9-8.
FACULTY MAY BUY TICKETS
The faculty are advised by Jack Bene
fiel that they may purchase season tic
kets for $1.50 to all baseball, track and
other games. Tickets may be. procured

IN DO-NUT SERIES
Many Errors Feature Initial
Contest in Tournament;
Score is 15 to 2
CUP IS WON BY FRIENDLY
Phi Sigma Pi and Kappa Sigma
Nines To Play Wednesday
On R. 0. T. C. Field
By Webster Jones
The first game of the do-nut tourna
ment was played Monday afternoon when
the Baehelordon team defeated the Al
pha Beta Chi’s by a lopsided score of 15
to 2. Intermittent showers and wind
prevented any good playing. Day, pitch
ing for the Baehelordon team, did some
good work for the winners. The game
was played in the usual do-nut style
with many errors. Baehelordon took the
lead early in the game and practically
had the contest cinched in the first
three innings. Lack of practice was in
evidence because the two teams were the
first to play in the schedule for this
spring and they have not had sufficient
time to whip their teams into shape. As
the season progresses more real ball play
ing ability will be shown by the house
teams.
Last year the do-nut baseball tourna
ment was won by Friendly hall. At the
close of the season Oregon club, Friend
ly hall and Kappa Sigma were tied in
league A while Phi Delta Theta, Bach
lordon and Alpha Tau Omega were tied
for first place in league B. Bach group
of (threte played the tournament and
came out with Friendly hall and Bach
lordon winners in each league. Friend
ly succeeded in winning the final game
and the baseball cup. This makes two
years that Friendly hall has won the
cup and this season with only a few of
their old men back their chances will not
be so good.
Two Games This Week
Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Psi and Kappa
Sigma promise to put out good teams.
Being so near the top of the list there
will be some keen competition between
the three. With baseball one of the three
remaining do-nut sports, a hard fight for
the cup is assured.
Only two games will be played this
week-end. Phi Sigma Pi will meet Kap
pa Sigma at four o’clock on the R. O.
T. C. Tuesday afternoon. On Wednes
day afternoon at four o’clock Phi Gam
ma Delta is matched against Kappa Del
ta Phi on the R. O. T. C. field. On ac
count of the varsity games on Thursday
and Friday no games can be played on
those days.
When the weather permits games will
be played at six o’clock in the morning
and evening and in the afternoon at
four o’clock. The early morning and
evening games will be played on the
Varsity' diamond, according to George
Bohler who has charge of the tournament.
Interest Is High
The tournament last year was sur
prisingly successful under the manage
ment of George Bohler and, with the in
terest shown so far, this year promises to
be the best season of do-nut baseball.
Last year 16 teams competed. This year
with the addition of one new house there
are 17 teams in the schedule. It is only
in the last two years that do-nut base
ball has come into its own as one of the

OREGON MEETS PACIFIC
Varsity Greatly Weakened By
Injuries To Players
Thursday and Friday will find the
formidable Pacific University baseball
team forming the opposition for the
varsity on the Ridge. Injuries have
played havoc with the personnel of the
Oregon outfield and infield, four men
being out with injuries. Ward John
son, who had first call on the initial
bag was forced out by a broken bone
in his foot and Saturday three men
were put on the shelf with bad ankles,
while practicing.
Doug Wright, hard hitting fielder,
is probably out for the balance of the
season with a fractured leg. Thi^
weakens the outfield considerably for
Wright’s clouting was a big asset to
the scoring machine. Zimmerman who
was being groomed for an infield berth
will probably be switched back to the
left garden. This is his regular posi
tion and his presence will add strength
there. Sullivan may be given a chance
to show his wares in the field, although
he may be used in the infield.
Jimmy Ross and Earl Shafer are both
out for a time with wrenched ankles
and will not be in condition for the
week-end games. Moore will no doubt
be used at the short patch with either
Trautman or Sullivan cavorting at sec
ond, Hunk JCatham and Svarverud
will occupy first and third respectively.
Cook seems to have first call behind
the plate with Watson and Orr ready
for relief duty.
It is hard to predict whom the pitch
ing burden will fall on. Either Shields
or Baldwin may be called upon and
it is also possible that Coach Bohler
may throw some of his reserves into
the breach. Ringle, Skinner, Stoddard
and Brooks are ready to go if neces
sary. Ringle and Brooks have played
in the outfield and may be used there
if Zimmerman is retained in the inner
gardens.
Pacific comes here with a good non
conference record. Two weeks ago her
representatives played two close score
games with the Aggies. Two former

SOUGHT AFTER Bl
Adah Harkness Will Run For
Secretary; Myers Is Out
For Yell Leader
The political reporter of the Em
erald was a busy man last night, just
before nine o’clock. When the clock
sounded the deadline it was found that
eight candidates, most of them for im
portant offices, had left credentials
and intentions. There were aspirants
for almost every position. From all in
dications the height of the annual
campaign is here.
There are now candidates for all of
the student offices with the exception
of that of senior woman on the execu
tive council. As yet no opponents for
Don Zimmerman, candidate for the pres
idency of the A. 8. U. O. have come
out.
Candidates which came out yester
day were: editor of the Emerald, Art
Rudd; vice-president, Paul Sayre; sec
retary Adah Harkness; senior man stu
dent council, Art Rosebraugh; senior
woman student council, Lurline Coul
ter; junior man student council, Her
bert Brooks; sophomore man student
council, Bob Mautz; yell leader, Jack
Myers.
Rudd Out for Editor
Of chief interest were the announce
ments of Adah Harknss for the secre
taryship and Paul Sayre for the vice
presidency. There are now three in
the race for each position and interest
is beginning to be noticeable. The an
nouncement of Art Rudd for the edi
torship of the Emerald also makbs
three in that race. There are four
in the race for senior man on the stu
dent council with the publication of the
intentions of Art Rosebraugh.
Art Rudd, candidate for editorship
is associate managing editor of the
Emerald, member of Sigma Delta Chi,
national professional journalism fra
ternity, and of the University Ad Club.
In addition to his jfturnalism work on
the campus, he has been advertising
manager for the Pendleton Round-up
for the past two summers. He has been
general and sports correspondent for
the Portland Journal during the past
tliroo years and worked in the Jour
nal in Portland before coming to the
University. Rudd is a member of To
Ko-Lo, honorary sophomore fraternity,
and has served two years on the execu
tive council of the campus Y. M. C. A.
At present he is working as publicity
chairman of the Junior week-end di
rectorate, and has twice been a member
of the Homecoming publicity commit
tee. He has been the Pendleton rep
resentative on the Greater Oregon com

RUNNERS TAKE SECOND
PLACE IN SEATTLE MEET
Ole Larson Stars, Taking First Place
In 100 yard Dash; Other Men Make
Good Record in Events
The seven man track team which
represented Oregon at the Seattle relaj
meet Saturday entered only three
events, but by taking two firsts and
one second, they rolled up 14 points
and thus captured second place in the
meet.
Captain Ole Larson was the individ
ual star for he walked off with first
place in the 100 yard dash, and ran the
last lap in the half mile relay, which
Oregon won handily. The other men
on the half mile team were Lucas, Har
denburg and Oberteuffer.
The mile relay team composed of
Hardenburg, Risley, Rosebraugh, and
Covalt took second place, being nosed
out of first by about three yards by
the fast Washington quartet.
