New Diamond in Shape for Practice Sessions INFIELD STRENGTHENED Lineup Presents Strong Bunch of Hitters The freshman baseball squad work ed out on the new diamond for the first time last night. They had a slight layoff in practice since Thurs day, but will now get in shape for the game with Salem high 'school Friday. The new field is not in shape yet for any regular games to be played on it. It is still pretty soft in places, but has been leveled off well and with some rolling and settling will be one of the best college diamonds on the coast next year. The frosh will cer tainly get more of a chance to prac tice there than on the make_shift on the drill grounds. Changes in Lineup Made Hank Foster, freshman coach, was working last night in an endeavor to strengthen his infield by shifting his lineup. He shifted Jones from the outfield and tried him out at third base. It is probable that Jones may hold down the hot corner in the game Friday and that Dallas will be shift ed to second, where he was working out last night. In that case the in field will lineup with Hex Adolph on first, Dallas on second, Kiminki at short, and Jones on third. However West may get a chance to work at second, where he has been showing up well. The outfield, if Jones is moved1 to the infield, will be composed of Bein hart, Brooks and Carl Johnson. All three can cover ground fast in the outer gardens and are also handy with the stick. The frosh team as a whole can hit in fair fashion and should present a mean murderers row to op posing twirlers. Varsity Practice Planned Mimnaugh is taking care of the re ceiving in excellent style and should have a good year with the willow. The pitchers have not had much of a chance to show their wares, but should stack up in fair shape with the rest of the team. Dave Adolph, DeLas sus, Lee,'Dutton, and Stovall are the right handers on the staff. Schmeer, a southpaw, is a new addition to the hurlers and should help out a great deal in the coming games. The babes will practice with the varsity today and probably the two teams will tangle daily for the next three days. This should help in put. ting the frosh on edge for the Salemites. STUDENTS FIND JUNIOR WEEK-END PLEASANT (Continued from page one) of the Women’s Athletic associa tion. Mary Clerin: “I am all for it. It is the greatest relief I have ex perienced. This is the first Junior Week-end when I have really en joyed myself.” “It should be one time when everyone in the University would forget his work and rbally play. They can’t do this with guests,” said Miss Morrison. “This year the students really enjoyed them selves for the first time. The at mosphere was light-hearted and the plan proved so successful that we can say it is better to leave the guests out.” “It is a shame there were no guests to appreciate it,” said Miss Skinner, “but it was much easier on the students. I think it was a huge success, and a really en joyable weekend—one time when the students felt that it was for themselves ...” Maude Shroeder was also of the opinion that it was very success ful. .“If guests had been here,” she said, “the whole campus would have worked to entertain them. The weekend is really a time when the juniors entertain the rest of the school, and that was what it : really was this year.” The opinions for and against this year’s plan are about even among the men. Ben Maxwell, a senior and mem ber of the Emerald staff, can see no good in the weekend of pleasure. He would abolish the whole busi ness and feels that the prohibiting of guests is the first step in this ! direction. Francis Cleaver, a track man, enjoyed it without the preppejs, as he was relieved of all responsibil ity. He thought that the high school students might be invited at some other time. Frank Carter, vice-president of the student body, thinks that the weekend went over big. He en joved the entertainments without guests and he noticed that there were very few students feeling “dead” yesterday morning, aa a result of intensive entertaining. * | “A huge success,” said Ed Tap-' Every house on the campus enter tained the mothers over the weekend, especially on Sunday. Mothers, Mother's Day and Junior Week-end made that time particularly enjoy, able. Two-thirty o’clock Saturday morn ing was an exciting time at the Delta Gamma house, when the engagement of Margaret Hyatt, 1927, to Harry Meyer, Bachelordon junior, was an nounced. At the end of the large table, there was a huge pastry rep resenting the pins of the two houses. Powder-puffs were at each place, at tached by ribbons to cards telling the news. The colors of Delta Gamma and Bachelordon were used in the candles placed about the table. Miss Hyatt is a member of the glee club, and Harry Meyer is a varsity tennis player, and a member of the Order of the O. A Mothers’ dinner was given by Alpha Omicron Pi Sunday, honoring the several mothers that visited the house over the weekend. Forty couples are to attend an in teresting informal spring dance to be given by Delta Gamma next Saturday evening. * « • Covers were laid for 25 persons at a formal dinner given by Delta Omega Saturday evening in honor of Bishop Walter T. Sumner, from Portland, who is making his tenth consecutive visit to this campus. A charming informal dance will be held at the Campbell Church home on Fairmount heights next Friday night for 30 Alpha Phi girls and their guests. The house will be decorated with spring flowers. Patrons and patronesses will be Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Church, Mrs.'Jessie Stearns and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nichol. A wonderful time is promised to the 60 couples that will attend the Delta Zeta annual picnic to be given next weekend at Coburg. A dance, bonfire, hike, and the usual activi ties of such an occasion will be en joyed. The party, will leave in the early afternoon, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Boland Miller. The flowers and decorations for the Kappa Alpha Theta formal dance which is to be held Saturday night are to be simply arranged, in keeping with the season, feome alumni are visiting the local chapter, so about 50 couples will be present at the dance. Patrons and patronesses are Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Campbell Church, Mrs. Mary Jewett, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Graham, Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, Mrs. F. N. Bover and Mrs. Clara Fitch. Eugene mothers of the Kappa Gamma girls were entertained at dinner by that house Sunday. Seavey’s ferry drew 25 Sigma Beta Phi members and their guests last Sunday for a picnic supper. They left during the early part of the afternoon, Mrs. J. W. Hays and Mrs. J. B. Bell chaperoned the party. Sixty couples will attend a delight ful picnic dinner-dance -which Pi Beta Phi will give next Friday even ing at Seavey’s ferry. The affair will begin shortly before the dinner hour and will continue throughout the evening. An informal dance is to be given May 16 at the Woman's building bf the Order of the O and everyone not going to some private dance or pie nic is expected by the committee to Attend. The funds, from this dance are to help athletes of Oregon who through sickness or injury have had difficulty in getting through school. The Mid-nite Sons are to play, and as the money is to go to a particu larly worthy cause, everyone on the campus is urged to be present. Alpha Chi Omega will offer an.ex tremely pleasant weekend to 14 guests who will visit them. ' An informal dance will be given Friday night at the house, which will be decorated with spring flowers. Miss Sue Bad ollet, and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Crockatt will be patron and patronesses. Sat urday afternoon they' will go up the McKenzie river for a picnic dinner. Phi Sigma Pi will give an annual picnic at Seavey’s ferry next Satur day afternoon. After supper, danc ing will be the order of the evening. fer, chairman of the weekend af fairs. “It was enjoyed more, be cause it was a day for the entire campus, and when the preppers are here, it is for them, not for the stu dents. It should be continued in this manner, for the students need one time when they can really get together.” Randall Jones, president-elect of the A. S. U. O., feels that guests should be invited if the present Junior Week-end program is con tinued. He said, in padt, “The students, I believe, other than the juniors- perhaps, have had a freer and more enjoyable time without the customary cut-throat rushing.” Walter Malcolm, varsity de bater, believed thai everyone en joyed the entertainments to a much greater extent without guests. He was of the opinion, however, that it would be better to have the guests at Junior Week-end, rather than to string them out over the entire spring, the present tfendency among houses. Hugh Latham, varsity athlete, said: “I think without a doubt j that this year’s Junior Week-end was a success considering the sheer pleasure derived by the vstu dents. I am in favor of continu ing the plan as carried out this year.” LESTER TURNBAUOH HAS POSITION AS TEACHER Lester Turnbaugh, senior in the j school of Journalism, has accepted i a position as superintendent off schools at Merrill, Oregon, a't a sal- : ary of $222 a month. He will have j charge of both the grade and high schools. He has had ' four years j of experience at the Carson Long ' private school for Iboys in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania. While there, he was an instructor in mili tary tactics and history. He has spent two veprs and; two terms here; this with his correspondence work and credit for work done overseas will entitle him to his degree at the end of this term. FORMER STUDENTS ARRIVE ON WAY TO NORTH DAKOTA Maynard and Arthur Root and Ralph Curren, ex- ’26, who have spent this year at the University of California, arrived in Eugene Sun lav by auto on their way back to heir home in Valley City, North Dakota.
