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.”
