The book is coming out on con tract -time in spite of' th‘e fact that it is usually ready by Junior Week-end. The reason for the later date this year is that the festivities usually come later in the month and from the standpoint of time consumed, the year book will be out on the traditional date for ts appearance, about the middle of May. Fifteen hundred copies have been printed and almost every one is already sold. According to present plans, distribution will be made from the Co-cyp. Those who signed up for books were required to pay a $2.50 deposit during the winter term. They will have to pay the remaining $2.00 on the total price of $4.50 before delivery. This year’s Oregana will contain 494 pages, 30 more than last year. Thirty persons, including the business staff, have been work ing on the book. This is the larg est staff ever organized in putting it out. The workers are planning to hold a celebration as soon as their labor is over. “We realize that the book is not perfect,” said Miss Goodrich, “but it represents a year of hard work on the part of the staff. We have done our best and we hope the Organa will measure up to the ex pectations of the students.” Naked Truth Brings Victory To Campus Political Genius By Leon Byrne When rescued by a reporter from a widely clamoring throng of admir ers last night in order that a state ment might be obtained from him for publication, Ed Muller, the “Fear less Statesman,” whose whirlwind campaign of “truth” overwhelmed the campus and carried him upon a triumphant wave of notoriety into the office of senior man on the student council, struck his characteristic cam paign pose—feet at right angles, right hand in the bosom of his vest —removed his campaign mouthful of cut plug, pushed his plug hat back on his head and said, “Truth did it.” Known to his friends as “Bashful Bddie,” Edward Miller does not im press the casual observer as a an of parts. He has more, as his friends have been heard to say, the appear anrs of being just a sweet simple lad. Youths have often startled the world, however. Miller not only startled it, he struck it dumb with amazement by stripping bare the great fundamentals of truth and hurling them in print at his adver saries in the recent political un pleasantness. The whole world knows the result. “How did I win the election?” Miller repeated the reporters’ ques tion. “I did it by giving the campus the pure and unadulterated truth.

EXTRA INNING GAMEJS LOST Vandal Baseball Artists Win in Twelfth Frame Stiver’s Run Breaks Tie SCORE IS SIX TO FIVE Hobson’s Homer Ties Count in Ninth; Ringle and Pil Do Good Work in Box Idaho and the varsity nines bat tled until the stars came out last, night, and darkness was about to put an end to a hard-fouglit game when “Skippy” Stivers, Vandal shortstop, drove a home-run dlive over King’s head in centerfield, which enabled Idaho to walk off the w'inner in the twelfth inning. Stiver’s clout broke up a 5-5 tie’ and made the final count 6-5 for the visitors. It was a disappointing finish for varsity supporters as the Lemon Yellow tossers had come from be hind in the ninth inning and were going groat guns when Stivers put an end to hopes of victory. Idaho Oats Lead With Oregon two runs behind and two out in the ninth frame, Howard Hobson turned the game into extra innings by smashing out a home-run which drove Ringle in ahead of him and tied the score. After that Reinhart’s tossers tried hard to shove over a win, but excellent fielding by the Vandals prevented them. Up to the ninth canto the contest was Idaho’s all the way. Ringle on the mound for the varsity pitched good ball, but, aided by .varsity errors, the Vandals man-1 aged to get to him for four runs during the first seven innings. Wick’s single, followed by Bitt ner ’s error, gave them the first counter of the game in the open ing inning. A base on balls to Kennison, followed by Lawson’s sacrifice, and Campbell’s single, gave them another in the second. They ran it up to four in the sixth on Cameron's triple, Kennison’s single and errors by Sorsby and Latham. Varsity Scores in Seventh Up to the seventh frame, the varsity were able to connect for only two hits and were held score less. But in the traditional “lucky” inning, the Lemon-Yellow stickers came to life and nearly tied the count. A single by Terril, Bittner's three-bagger, brought in the first varsity run, and Ringle drove out another single which scored Terril, and which Cameron, the Vandal gardener, kicked around long enough for Ringle to reach third. Ross then came to the fore with a single which scored Ringle and Oregon was one behind. Ringle presented the visitors with a run in the eighth when he made a wild throw to first and followed with a wild pitch which eventually enabled the runner to score. No further scoring until the ninth, when Hobson came through with his Babe Ruth blow, tying the score. PR’s Work Good Coach Reinhart took Ringle off the mound in the tenth after Fitzke had slummed him for a double. Pil, who relieved him, pitched (good ball and kjrpb the bases clean until Stiver’s blow in the twelfth. The game would never have gone into extra innings but for some loose work in fielding by both teams. Oregon earned four of her runs and the visitors but two. At t.hat, there was some nifty fielding in spots.
