UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1923
NUMBER 169
TRACK STARS OF
COAST COLLEGES
COMPETE TODAY
Seven Leading Institutions
Enter Teams in Conference
Meet at Pullman
BEARS OUTSTANDING ENTRY
Coast Records May be Broken;
Spearow Banked to Set
New Vault Height
Track followers of the Northwest
and the Pacific coast will have their
eyes centered on Pullman, Washington
today. With seven of the leading col
leges on the coast entering teams, the
annua] conference meet scheduled to
take place on the Washington State
field this afternoon promises to witness
the greatest gathering of field and
track stars in the Northwest since pre
war days. Indications are that more
than one long established record will
be smashed into oblivion before the
competition is over.
What places this year’s meet above
those in former years is the fact that
the famous University of California
squad, three times winner of the na
tional championship, will be entered
for the first ‘time in several years. The
redoubtable Bears just returned from
another sucessful invasion of the East
are the outstanding entries in today’s
tourney and there is little question but
that they will walk off with the honors.
However, the southern athletes will
have hot competition from the six other
schools: University of Oregon, O. A. C.,
University of Washington, W. S. C..
University of Idaho and University of
Montana
Lemen-Yellow Holds Records
Bill Hayward’s Lemon-Yellow squad
of 11 men will bear the distinction of
representing the institution that holds
more coast and Northwest track rec
ords than any other entrant in the meet.
Oregon athletes in past years have hung
up northwest conference marks in the
120-yard high hurdles, the shot put,
javelin, high jump, broad jump, and
the 100-yard dash and Pacific coast
record in the javelin and the mile run.
Today’s meet is a combined northwest
and Pacific coast conference tilt so
records in both organizations are likely
to be broken.
While it seems likely that the var
sity will return minus several of the
marks, the chances are good for Ore
gon to hang up a new mark in another
event, the pole vault. Ralph Spearow,
ace of the Webfooter’s field men, has
been topping the bar at 13 feet or more
consistently this spring and if he is
right today the blonde boy may set a
new reeord in this event. The present
mark is 13 feet 1 inch made by Eldon
Jenne of W. S. C. in 1920. Spearow has
gone higher than this a number of
times in practice. Whether he breaks
a record or not, the opportunity looks
good for him to cop a first at least in
this event. His closest competitor will
likely be Red Norris of California, who
vaulted 12 feet 6 inches in the Chicago
met last Saturday.
Spearow Leading Man
Spearow also will be in the high
jump and the broad jump and may take
places in both of these, although the
chances of taking firsts are slim with
Brick Muller, the Bear star entered
against him.
Oregon’s chances of breaking records
in the other events are not very likely
unless Ole Larson, the sprint mainstay,
springs the unexpected in the 100-yard

HUMAN VANITY
TOLD IN CARTOON
Stock Room Yields Up
Davenpcjrt Picture
An original cartoon by Homer Daven
port, 32 by 24 inches, mounted and fram
ed but unnamed was discovered by Er
nest Haycox in the stock room of the
University Press yesterday. It now hangs
in the main corridor of the Journalism
building where every passerby may see.
The work is a powerful picturization
of humanity’s chief vanity—excessive ex
ercise of the aquisitive instinct. “Mam
mon” can well be the picture’s name.
The expression of reality on the faces
of the characters and the symbolism are
perhaps the chief qualities in the pic
mounted at the head of a cold, steep stair
tnre. Money, a bright but false glimmer
way of stone, is the objective of a strug
gling mass at the base. Every Judas
in this scheme of things is there at the
base, offering to the money god what
ever of his possession. A man offers
his vote; a woman her virtue. Some sac
rifice children, society and love ... It's
the old story told by a picture.
Homen Davenport is undoubtedly one
of Oregon’s greatest contributions to
America. He lived at Silverton, where
he started his pen sketches, but later left
for the East. There he received more
encouragement in his work and was soon
recognized as one of the country’s fore
most cartoonists. Today, 13 years after
his pen ceased to interpret the ups and
downs of humanity, his work of supposed
ly so temporary at nature, still lives.
Soon after the Titanic went down in
1912 he was asked to draw its disap
pearance. He was in ill health at the
time and conception of the catastrophe
was too much for his sensitive nature.
This last effort shows a huge hand,
reaching up from the sea, clutching and
crashing the leviathan on her maiden
voyage and dragging it below the surface.
All the predestined fate that surrounded
the shipwreck is in the picture, and,
leaving this monumental cartoon a per
petual riddle symbolic of the disaster, hq
died.
STUDENTS SHOULD HAND
IN VACATION ADDRESSES
Mail for Halls of Residence Dis
tributed by Campus Office
All students living in any of the
three halls of residence on the campus
should give the addresses at which they
will reside this summer, to the manager
of the halls, in order that any mail
which might come to the University
can be forwarded to them, according to
W. F. Landrum, University Postmas
ter. Students living in fraternity houses
should give their new addresses to the
Eugene post office.
Practically all student mail handled
by the University post office goes to
the halls of residence, said Mr. Lan
drum. Mail for the fraternity houses
is not handled by the University depot
but is distributed directly from the
down town office.
There is no uncalled for mail at the
post office now, due to the new system
of handling and forwarding the mail.
Formerly the mail was left to accumu
late, but now all mail that is not called
for is forwarded to the home address
of the owner. This is made possible by
the list of names of all Btudents and
their home addresses, which is obtained
from the Registrar’s office.
DOROTHY COLLIER TAKES TRIP
Miss Dorothy Collier, secretary of the
campus Y. W. C. A., left yesterday for
Portland on a business trip. She will
not return until Monday or Tuesday.
Lois Easterbrooks is in charge at the
Bungalow during Miss Collier’s ab
sence.
Summer Siesta of News Sheet
Means Rest for Tired Writers
Next Friday will see the last Emerald
edition for the year run off the press.
There are some who will miss the daily
publication, whieh prints the ins and
outs of the college year as well as the
pledging announcements and engage
ments, not to say the least about poetry
and dry wit which manages the seep
into its columns.
The Emerald gang will be glad to
see the paper put to bed for the sum
mer siesta. To them it will mean no
more wildgoose chases after news
sources, who are out of town or not dis
posed to give a story. There will be
no more waiting outside the office
door of some hard professor who is as
difficult to get a story out of as the
Sphinx.
It means that there will be no more
hurry-up lunehes or dinners in order
to rush out and corner a news source.
The swift feet of the reporter will
cease to beat a tattoo on the paths to
the shack where a last minute spurt
produces a yard of copy for the daily
edition.
Exasperated professors and heads of'
departments can settle back, knowing
that they won’t be pestered by, “I'm
from the Emerald. Can I get a story
on the Whiehness of What,” After
tearing his hair oat oyer the glaring
blunders of some of the stupid repor
ters, the weary, nerve raeked professor
can buy a bottle of hair restorer and
begin a tonsorial comeback and be pre
pared for the campaign next fall when
a timid reporter will stutter something
about getting an interview on the lat
est book he wrote, or whether he ap
proves ef bobbed hair and piffling.
The daily news editors will have a
few days to recuperate in before the
final spasms. Night after night, storm
ing the halls of the shack, berating the
tardy reporters and threatening to run
a series of ads on the ront page, has

DONUT BASEBALL
SEMI-FINALS WILL
COME NEXT WEEK
Weeding out Process Begun
for Choice of Teams
in Final Plays
EIGHT GAMES THIS WEEK
Phi Gamma Delta, Friendly Hall
and Sigma Alpha Ep
silon Win
With four rounds already completed
the do-nut baseball tournament is rap
idly coming up to the semi-finals. The
first round, first replay round, second
round and second replay round have all
been completed and the sifting process
has begun, separating the weaker and
the stronger teams.
According to the do-nut baseball
rules a team losing a game in the first
round goes into the first replay round,
where it gets another chance to come
back into the running if it wins the
game. In case they lose the game they
go farther down on the scale until
finally eliminated in the third game. All
games above the third round are
straight elimination and a team losing
a game there is out of the tournament.
The teams standing at the top of the
list in the tournament have in most
cases won their place by hard playing.
Particularly the teams are strong on
pitchers and rather weak in field work.
Several of the best teams have develop
ed a happy combination of these two.
Dark Horse Possible
As far as the dope goes now, the
teams most likely to be in the semi
finals and even the finals are Sigma
Chi, Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Phi,
Kappa Sigma, Friendly hall, A. T. O.
and Phi Kappa Psi But with the meth
ods of replay rounds a so-called dark
horse may spring from the ranks and
capture the baseball cup from the most
favorable team. Seventeen teams were
in the tournament but the weeding out
of the weaker ones will have been
completed by the end of next week and
the semi-finals will be begun.
Barney Cota, who has had charge of
do-nut baseball in Coach Bohler’s ab
sence, has been running the games off.
eight games having been played this
week.
The first game in the third round of
the tournament was played Friday af
ternoon on the R. O. T. C. diamond when
the Fiji team defeated the Kappa Sig
nine in an excellent game by a score of
of 5-3.
Heavy Hitting Feature
The game was featured by tight
infield and outfield playing. Taking
the lead in the first inning the Fiji
team . succeeded in running in two
scores through the hitting of Phillips
and Shaefer. However the Kappa Sigs
when they came to the bat in the first
inning clouted the ball for three hits
in a row and brought in three runs.
These were the last hits or runs for the
losers. In the third two well placed hits
by Shafer and King brought in two
more runs, while the last one was
scored in the sixth when Altstock
knocked a two base hit and brought in
another one.
The game was also featured by heavy
hitting on both sides. Altstock was
hit seven times and Ashby, the Kappa
Sig pitcher, was hit eight times during
the game. Shafer, the Fiji third base
man, got three hits at four times to the
bat one of which was a three bagger.
Mautz almost knockd a home run when
he hit the ball for three bases but was
put out on third.
Ashby and Bliss for the Kappa Sigs
kept up the show by scoring two clean
hits each. A clever double play was
made by the Fiji’s. Sundeleaf knock
ed a grounder which was picked up by
Altstock, who threw it to third in time
for Shaefer to put out Bliss. Shafer
snapped the ball back to second where
King put out Ashby. The game was
hard fought by both teams.
Batteries: Kappa Sigma. Ashby and
Bliss. Fiji: Altstock and Brown.
Friendly Wins Game
Friendly hall won ^n easy game from
Delta Theta Phi Thursday afternoon on
the varsity field by a score of 5 to 0.
The field was muddy and prevented
any good ball playing and as a result
the game was full of errors by both
teams.
The Friendly hall teams took the lead
early in the game and gave their oppo
nents no ekanee to score. The game
was alow. 8ausser, the Friendly hall
pitcher, knocked a three base hit and
got home on account of a fielder’s er
ror.
flatteries: Friendly hall, Sausser and
Oleson; Delta Theta Phi, Nelson and
Whitcomb.
The 8. A. E team won a close game
with Oregon club on the varsity field
Friday afternoon by a soore of 8 to 2.

0. A. C. ACCEPTS
MEMORIAL MADE
Bronze Tablet Seven Feet Higli
To Commemorate World
War Dead
GOV. PIERCE GIVEN REPLICA
State Executive Commends
Avard Fairbanks’ Work
in Talk at Meeting
Interest in the acceptance of the ser
vice memorial in sculpture created by
Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculp
ture at the University of Oregon and
presented to O. A. C. yesterday, was
heightened by the presentation to Gov
ernor Walter M Pierce, of a small re
plica by the committee at the same
time. The memorial is a bronze tablet
seven feet high, symbolizing the spirit
of sacrifice upholding the service men,
and is made to commemorate the men
from the Oregon Agricultural College
who died for their country. The ac
ceptance took place in the sculpture
building on the campus at 2:00 yester
day following an informal studio lunch.
“The establishment of this memorial
is a symbol of the union of two great
Oregon schools, which are no longer
rivals, but partners in the great prob
lem of higher education,” said Governor
Pierce. t
The event was observed by the pre
sence of W. A. Merriman, president of
the End of the Lewis and Clark Trail
Memorial Association, and of L. L.
Paget, a member of the committee in
terested in a national memorial for the
end of the trail at Seaside.
George A. Studer, chairman of the
committee from O. A. C.. accepted the
panel in behalf of the class of 1923.
It is a gift to that college and will be
hung in the lobby of the library.
President Campbell Speaks
President P. L. Campbell, as master
of ceremonies, spoke of the need for
expression common to all humanity,
and of the effort to foster the arts on
the campus
“A great deal of unrest is the result
of a failure to gratify the aesthetic
side,” said President Campbell. “So,
in our institutions of higher learning
we are trying to give training, not only
in the industrial side, but for the crea
tion of beauty.” He declared this to
bo the service of every great democracy
to its citizens.
“Our sister institution has had the
inspiration to commemorate through
art the heroic sacrifices of her men.”
said the president
Panel Unveiled
i'roiessor rairDanns made no com
ment except to introduce the O. A. C.
committee, letting his work speak for
itself. The panel was unveiled by Edith
Pierce, daughter of the governor. It
is the first memorial in sculpture to be
unveiled in the state of Oregon. The
formal unveiling will take place at the
senior convocation in Corvallis.
In accepting the small replica, a gift
from the committee as a sign of their
pride in the panel, Governor Pierce
said:
“I accept it on behalf of the state
of Oregon, to hang in the governor’s
office. Such memorials here and there
mark the great events—men fight and
die and these remain. So it is that art
marks the wave of civilization.
“The state of Oregon appreciates
you, Mr. Fairbanks,” Governor Pierce
said turning to where Professor Fair
banks was sitting “I was surprised
to see that you are just a boy—I con
gratulate you on the original work that
you are doing in this state and I con
gratulate you on your youth . The
Doughboy has already brought the
state notice in the world of art,” he
said, referring to the statue Professor
Fairbanks made last year for the state
of Idaho.
“Work like this touches the finer side
of life,” the governor continued. “The
leaders of civilization are those who
do something to appeal to the higher
instincts of living.”
National Monument Needed
The need of a national monument to
the blazing of the Lewis and Clark
Trail was expressed by both Mr. Merr
iman and Mr. Paget.
“There never has been a national
monument in the west,” said Mr. Merr
iman. “People have always turned to
the East. Now we want to erect some
thing that the East will turn west to
see—something that will bring the
states about Oregon into historical sym
pathy with us.” Mr. Merriman is in
terested in the securing of cooperation
of the American Legion and of as many
as 15 colleges in the erection of a mem
orial in the American spirit such as
Professor Fairbanks has created for
O. A. C.
The great theme of Americanism is

TWO YOUNGEST
SENIORS FOUND
Helen Bromberg Most
Youthful Graduate
How old will you l>c when you grad
uate?
Will you hobble up to the platform
on crutches and receive your sheepskin
with trembling hands or will you be
the child wonder who receives his di
ploma at the tender age of sixteen?
Such is the serious question which
should confront the sober-minded stu
dent at this time of year when obtaining
a degree is the big problem to be con
sidered.
Two members of the June graduating
class have achieved distinction along
this line. Helen Bromberg of Portland,
who is 20 years old, is the youngest
woman, and Hubert Smith of Pendleton
21 years old, the youngest man in the
class.
Both graduated from high school in
the class of *19, Miss Bromberg being
a member of the Portland High School
of Commerce and Smith a product of
Pendleton high school.
We say that these two are the young
est, inasmuch as, in looking over the
records at the registrar’s office, the
reporter found a few modest souls, who
failed to record their ages on the books.
Records show that the ages of this
years graduates range from, 20 to 50,
the average of the class being 24 for
the girls and 25 for the boys.
Fines Must Be Paid Beginning
Tomorrow Say Officials
With but one more day on which fines
for overdue books will be suspended, the
Thespians and librarians are urging
every person who has a book out on
"which a fine is pending to return it to
-the library tod|iy. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week were set aside
I by the library as the days on which no
fines would be collected from those people
who had overdue books which had not
been returned, provided the books were
returned on these days. Barrels placed
at the foot of the library steps, intended
to serve as a reminder to people who
have books which should comq back to
the library as well as to receive books,
have not filled very rapidly, according to
those in charge. There are many books
checked out from the library, which have
long been due, says the librarian, who is
urging that all people who have such
books will return them today.
During the summer library staff mem
bers have an opportunity to check over
the books on the shelveo and to get the
library work in shape for the heavier
work of the regular school year. If all
books are returned before vacation be
gins much work is saved the librarians,
and incidentally money is saved the bor
rower who is charged fines for books re
turned late. Remember then, say the
librarians and Thespians, that today is
your last chance to bring back books
and escape a fine.
SPEAKING CLASSES TO CONTEST
Monday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock,
the extemporary speaking classes will
conduct an extemporary speaking con
test in Yillard hall. The general public
is invited to attend the event. Each
speaker is allowed to talk only eight
minutes. The subjects of the speeches
must be on some topic relating to state,
national, international, scientific or
ethical interests. The prize to bo given
for the best speech will amount to $10.
Faculty members who will be chosen
later will act as judges.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED
Pi Beta Phi announces the pledging
of Ruth Holms of Medford, Oregon.

Student Body Powers That Be
Will Disport Selves June 5
On June 5 the officers of the student
body, new and old, will congregate
down at the Alpha Chi Omega domicile
to partake of a dainty repast, the hos
tess of which is Margaret Jackson,
present secretary of the student body.
This gathering of the powers that be
is an annual affair and it is one of the
official duties of the secretary to see
that it goes over big so Margaret has
thrown the portals of the Alpha Chi
house open to the high overalls and
it can be said that they will have some
jambouree or dinner party or whatever
you wish to call it.
The feast will be a lottery, somebody
dragging somebody else down to spear
a bean and splash a little tea. First
on the list comes the venerable John
MacGregor, who will limp over to the
Theta manor and allow Marcella Berry
to guide his tottering footsteps to the
scene of the banquet. Claude Robinson
will have to amble down to the scene
of the party alone and Margaret will
be there to see that he gets in all right.
Owen Calloway will scamper over
to the Pi Phi’s and whistle for Ber
nice Altstoek and Art Rudd will bang
soundly on the door of Hendricks hall
and ask if Inez King has forgotten that
he is the new editor. Milton Brown
and Lurline Coulter will argue abont
Lemon Punch and varsity debating for
women on the way to the salad bee.
How lucky are these gentlemen. They
have a woman all to their lonesome.
The rest of the males of the upper
ten will have to battle hard to see who
walks next to the lady of their allot
ment on the evening of the party. Bob
Mautz and Rus Gowans will athlete
it down to the Chi Omega mansion and
see at which one she smiles sweetest—
lucky lady, having two athuletes. Hal
