OREGANA TO BE READY
BY MAY 16 IS REPORT
Book Result of Hard Work,
Says Freda Goodrich
Copies of the Oregana, student
'ear book, will be ready for dis
tributor! about May 16, says Freda
Goodrieh, editor.
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. I

tournament at Salem on Saturday.

and one set of doubles, with the
possibilities of a tie score in the

poor start, but these initial con
tests have strengthened the squad
considerably in experience.
From advance reports, the Wil

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. Terril staved off a cer
