> Oregon Daily Emerald UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. {SATURDAY. MAY :?4. 1!>-D_ ~nFmBER~168 4 COAST COLLEGES TO ENTER MEET _ Twelve Institutions Send Entrant Lists for Teams in Olympic Tryouts Here TICKETS ON SALE TODAY Men From Six States Have Already Signified Desire to Compete May 30 to 31 S V Entries are coming in for the Olym- I pic track and field tryouts, to be held here next week, in numbers that promise to make this one of the best competitions ever seen on the western coast. Twelve colleges have signified their intentions of sending men, and unattached entries are coming into Mr. Earl’s office every day. Today #and Monday there will be a ticket sale staged both on the cam pus and down town. Ted Gillenwaters, who has general charge of the meet, has started in earnest his campaign to publish the news of the carnival. The expenses incurred by an event of this magnitude must be met by the | University, and it is only by the co operation of all the students in help ing to advertise that this will be a real meet; “that will enable Oregon j to put it across,” is the way Gillen waters expressed himself. Six States Listed It will be necessary to guarantee $2000 to members of the conference for expenses, besides numerous other incidentals which are incurred in handl ing a track meet that has entries from six states and officials who are known over the Pacific coast for their efficiency. It is' necessary and the custom that students purchase tickets to gain admittance to the conference meet, as well as outsiders. Doug Farrell has charge of the field and arranging so that every- ; thing will run off smoothly in the two days of the conference. He will pick his corps of assistants and get them trained in their duties before next Friday. Stanford* is the only California school which has entered a team, as yet; but word has not been received from either California or the Uni- 1 versity of Southern California. The University of Washington team will be here, as will the Washington State aggregation. Idaho and O. A. C. are also sending squads which will make a bid for conference honors, with a possible champion or two being un earthed. Montana has also sent her list of entries. Smaller Schools Entered Such smaller institutions as .the lTniversitv of Puget Sound, and Pa cific have signified their intention of sending men to compete in special events. 'Willamette, Gonzaga and Lin field college have each sent entries; besides numerous unattached afhletes have signified their intention of com peting with the college athletes for an opportunity to gain Olympic honors. The 220 yard straightway has been completed and will be ready for use by next Friday and Saturday. This should cut down the time some, for the conference runners in the middle sprint, and it will probably be used for the first half of the quarter. Tloing away with the first fight for the pole, which often causes a good man to be boxed and kept from plac ing. will make this a faster and more spectacular race. The rest of the field is in almost perfect shape. Tickets will be on sale at the gradu ate manager’s office, the Co-op..and Obak’s next week. SOPHOMORE GIRLS’ BALL TEAM CHOSEN The sophomore girls’ class base ball team was chosen at the try outs held Thursday afternoon. Their first practice will be held next Monday and the class sche dule will begin about the middle of next week. The team •members are: Alta Knips, pitcher; Ruth MacGregor, catcher; Irva Dale, first base; Mil dred Onslow, second base; Mari ette Beattie, third base; Regina DeVault, left short; Mildred Cole man, right short; Janet Wood, cen ter field; Eleanor Houk, left field; and Marion Wagini, right field.

Honorable Mention Won by Margaret Skavlan in Contest ‘‘Visions of Women,” a collec tion of poems by Margaret Skav lan, won honorable mention in an j undergraduate contest, open to all colleges in the United States, conducted by the Southern Methodist University of Dallas, Texas. Miss Skavlan’s collec tion included “Greek Goddess,” “Three Portraits,” “Lilith,” and “Botticelli’s Women.” The first prize in the contest was won by Ottys E. Sanders of Southern Methodist college. His poem was named “Birth of the Idol.” Judges for the contest were Sara Teasdale, John Hall Wheelock and Carl Sandburg. Thirty-three colleges were repre sented in the contributions. This is the second undergradu ate contest in which Miss Skav lan has won honorable mention. She tied for second place in the Ward-Belmont poetry contest with her contribution, “Inter ment.” The verse was printed in the October “Fugitive.” MUSICSGHOOLOFFERS VIOLIN SCHOLARSHIP All Grade School Pupils Eligible to Try The pupil in the public schools of Eugene making the best show ing in the finals of a competition on the violin will be given a free scholarship in the school of music of the University and a $5 prize donated by Rex Underwood, of the University of Oregon school of music faculty. The final round of this competition will be held Sat urday, May 31, when pupils from all of the grade schools of the city will meet for the final examina- ; tion. Each school will have one representative. At the beginning of the present year, the school of music started a new plan of giving violin instruc tion to the children of the grade schools in Eugene. About 100 are now enrolled for this instruction and are taking lessons from the advanced music students in the University. All pupils who are taking this instruction were eligible to com pete for the prize and scholarship.

ELEANOR BURTCHALL STRUCK BY GOLF BALL Eleanor Burtehall received a cut ‘on her right eyelid Thursday after noon during the 4 o ’clock golf class, when she was accidentally struck by Philippa Sherman, who was making a drive on the Univer sity golf links. Mis3 Burtehall, who is a fresh man in normal arts, was standing directly in back of Miss Sherman, who was “driving off.” She was struck just over the right eye, and received a cut about an inch and a half long. Her glasses were broken. George Bronaugh, who is golf in structor, took Miss Burtehall to the Eugene hospital, where several stitches were taken in the cut. She will be able to attend classes again within the next day or two. WALKLEY, TRACK STAR, TO WED 0. A. C. GIRL The engagement of Miss Elvira Van Hollebeke, of Walla Walla, Washington, and Glenn Walkley, of Oregon, ’22, was announced Wed nesday at the Gamma Iota house, at O. A. C. Miss Hollebeke, who is a member of Zeta Kappa Psi and Beta Alpha Psi, honor fraternities, graduated from O. A. C. with the class of 1922. Glenn Walkley was one of the best known track men at Oregon in recent years. He wTas a three stripe letterman, and was captain of the track team his last year. He majored in geology and was a departmental assistant last year. Both Mr. Walkley and Miss Hollebeke are teaching in the high school at Pilot Rock. Big Thermometer at Guard Office to Register Gains Made by Local Divisions AUTOMOBILES WANTED Peak of Drive Is Scheduled for Tuesday With Rally at Osburn for Workers A thermometer is to be installed Monday on the downtown head quarters of the Alumni Gift Cam paign organization in the Guard building, which will register the re ports of the division captains at work in Eugene, as they are sent in. This thermometer will remain to show the public every hour, or as frequently as possible, what progress is being nfade by the j solicitors, and the total donations I received. Monday noon, the team workers . and captains of the divisions are to meet at the Hotel Osburn to arouse added enhtusiasm for the task before them. Tuesday, the in- j tensive phase of the campaign be- j gins in earnest. That noon, another rally will be staged by the workers in the Osburn, and it is hoped that the day will be a cleanup of all the prospective donors. The ther mometer at the Guard will indicate what the results have been up to that time. Teams Will Compete The field teams are to be put | in competition with each other, to stimulate the workers, in an en deavor to have them throw their best efforts into the campaign. It is thought that this will stimulate their interest to the greatest pos sible exen't. The results lof tthe drive, team by team, will also be posted, to show how the divisions are progressing in relation to each other. Many of the alumni who are to b(i visited, live in the outskirts of the city, so that the solicitors who are afoot, find it difficult to cover as much territory as could be desired. In order to make this part of the work easier for the solicitors, and speed up the cam paign, automobiles are in great demand, and the organization heads are trying to enlist as many as possible. T'en of the alumni in the outskirts have been reached so far, and this will add greatly to the success of the drive. .Results to oe i'osteu Some of the alunmi of the Uni versity are not listed in the files of the campaign headquarters, so that thej cannot be individually visited. To take care of these, sev eral prominent alumni are to be stationed in the Guard building to accept the pledges, on Monday afternoon and Tuesday. This of fice force will also keep in touch with the various division heads, and post the results as they come in. It is expected that the middle of next week will find the majority of the pledges on file, and this part of the campaign practically completed as far as .the local ter ritory is concerned. WATER LIME TO NORTH CAMPUS TO BE DUG UP The main city water line to the north campus will be dug out and replaced by a two-inch pipe within the next few days, according to II. M. Fisher, superintendent of the campus buildings and grounds. The old line, which is only a one and one-quarter inch pipe, does not give enough force to some of the build ings. The old pipe will have to be dug up before the new sidewalk from Thirteenth avenue to the Sociology building is put in, be cause it will be under the walk. The driveway leading from Uni versity street past the University depot will be paved back to the alley this summer, Mr. Fisher said. GRACE EDGINGTON RETURNS FROM VISIT IN PORTLAND Miss Grace Edgington, alumni secretary and editor of “Old Ore gon,” returned to the campus Thursday night from a short visit in Portland, where she had th<e pleasure of hearing Galii-Curci in concert Wednesday evening. University Dean Invited to Serve California Girls Mrs. Virginia Esterly to Aid Alma Mater yean Virginia Judy Esterly lms received a request from the University of California to act as dean of women during the summer session at Berkeley, which extends from June 26 to August 3. As the Berkeley sum mer session is the largest in the country, this is no small honor which has been conferred upon Bean Esterly. In addition, Mrs. Esterly’s home is in California and the University of -California is her alma mater. “The interesting part about the summer session at Berkeley is the fact that it attracts stu dents and instructors from all over the world,” remarked Mrs. Esterly, in discussing the session at which she will be dean. Many of the most brilliant minds in the country are present at. this session, which numbers about six thousand. Dean Esterly is anticipating the experience with a great deal of pleasure, for she has many friends on the Califor nia campus and is familiar with the university at Berkeley. FROSH LOSE SLUCFEST AT CORVALLIS, 12-10 Five Home Runs by Rooks Feature Loose Game The freshmen lost a hitting fest to the rooks at Corvallis yester day afternoon by the close score of 12 to 10. The game was fast and was featured by some heavy slugging on both Bides, with the rooks having ’the edge in that de partment. The Baby Beavers knocked out a total pf five home runs off of the offerings of Dave Adolph and Lee, freshman pitchers. The most disastrous of thest four base wallops came in the last of the eighth, when the frosh were one run ahead, and with two other rooks already resting on the bases. This cinched a hard-fought game for the rooks, as the frosh were unable to score in the ninth. Brooks was the leading Oregon slugger, with two bingles out of three times at bat. Both the offer ings of Adolph for the frosh and of Savoy for the rooks seemed to the liking of their opponents, who smacked the ball hard at times. jliiu liesiiiuaii jint*u u»> wiui D. -Adolph and Mimnaugli, battery; Rex Adolph, first; Dallas, second; West, shortstop; Jones, third; Lee left field; Brooks, center; and Johnson, right field. Lee went into the box in the last inning for the freshmen. The yearlings played good ball, considering the shape they were in, and should give the rooks a hard tussle when they meet here today at 10 o’clock. Prob ably the same lineup •will start the game, with Vitus the most likely candidate to do the honors in the box. HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET AT 2:30 TODAY This afternoon at 2:30, on Hay ward field, the interscholastic track and field stars from the Willamette valley conference and from LaGrande, of Eastern Oregon, will compete for the championship of the state, outside of the Port land league. LaGrande won the independent championship from the schools of Eastern Oregon two weeks ago and will be forced to uphold Eastern Oregon honors by itself. Salem, Eugene, and the high schools from Southern Oregon, will enter teams in this meet. The tryouts will be held at 10 o’clock this morning. Y. M. C. A. HUT TO BE OPEN THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER The University Y. M. C. A. hut will be open throughout the sum mer, according to Mrs. Charlotte Donnelly, employment secretary, although neither the “Y” office or the employment bureau will be open from July 1 to August 15. There will be some one in atten dance, however, to take care of the hut. Outcome of Meet in Doubt Until Last Events: Final Score Stands 67 to 55 FLANAGAN IS HIGH MAN First Places Taken by Holt. Johnston. Flanagan, Hall, Canterbury, Extra, Staley By Bill Akers Bill Hayward’s crew of fighting I freshmen stepped out and by everyone doing all he could and one or two doing more than they ever did before, won the best track meet seen on Hayward field for a long time, by a score of 67 to 55. Captain Holt started the applause when he romped over the century dash in 10 seconds; good time in any meet and the best time made in conference competition in the Northwest this year. Then, in the polevanlt, Canterbury, who has been out breaking the standards at about nine feet, went a foot and a half over his usual stride and tied for first with a jump of 10 feet and 6 inches. Flanagan Takes Two Points In the broad jump, Flanagan, whose best leap so far this year [was 22 feet and 2 inches, put on a burst of* speed and threw him self 22 feet and 8^4 inches for a I win. Then lie moved over to the high jump and won that. Simouton also threw the javelin a few feet farther than he usually does and grabbed off a second place there. | Flanagan was high-point man for the freshmen with two firsts, while Dixon gathered in the most ■ counts for the CoEsallis contingent. ! Tins man Dixon got up out of the i hospital to come over and fight j for his team, but his condition was j far from right; at that, however, I he managed to gather in a first in j the discus by hurling it 129 feet and 10 inches without a whirl in | his takeoff. This in itself is a re [ markable feat, but he also took a second in the shot put. Keen Competition Shown Barnes and Conley ran a hard race in the mile, but they were I against two good men from Corval | lis in'Martin and Kuni. By a hard sprint in the lasJ^dO yards, Barnes ; managed to beat out Kuni j&d was j creeping up on Martin when they * crossed the line. The' 440 was another punishing race, which was won by Earnheart, of O. A. C., in j 51 7-10. Cash led most of the way, j but Earnheart managed to pass him j by a magnificent sprint and j crossed winner. Cash was unable | to hold the terrific pace he had I set and dropped behind leaving \ Wilbur come in second and Clay ton of O. A. C. come in third. “Tiny” Johnston in the shot, Ex tra in the 220, and Hall and Staley 'in the two hurdle races, all contri buted their best, that is, performed as well as they have e'ver done be fore’ in any competition. Ability to | do one’s best under pressure is ab solutely necessary in successful ! track competition, and this is the ripe fruit of Bill’s coaching sys tem which had these men compet (Continued on page three) Lady Nicotine Smiles Upon Bench Donated by Freshmen The shrine of Lady Nicotine, re lentless goddess and tree sprite to whom a thousand camels are sacri ficed as burnt offerings daily, has been more than popular of late. This is thought by a number of the least known philosophers to be due not to the increasing devotion of her de votees, but to the masculine love of ease. Karlier in the year at one of the bacchanal revels of the class of ’27 a marble (almost) bench appeared, bearing a strange resemblance to that left in front of the library as a memorial to the grave and studious seniors of MO whose wont it was to study so violently (even in (the spring) that a nearby refuge in the open air was needed. As they de parted one by one they dedicated it to future grave seniors who should find a similar need, and barred the foolish rabble which still has fond ness for golf sox and Saturday nights. The bench of ’27, suitably 'dis guised under a coat of green paint, was placed in sight of the famous original, and, it seems, much to the surprise of the least known of the philosophers, is running keen compe tition. (For, as anyone may see, the sombreroed heads are in predomin ance !) ' !So, for the future edification of al freshmen who must sooner or latei come to the shrine and for the '>rn nervation of the dignity of all li brary-frequenting seniors, the Lady Nicotine is said to bo contemplating a sign on the bench of ’27—“Foi freshmen only.” Library Is Sending Books to Help Out Colleges in Japan A shipment of books is being mode up by the library to help replace losses brought about in Japanese universities by the fire and earthquake of last summer, as many of Hie most important libraries were destroyed by the disaster. The books are being sent in compliance with a request for helping improve the situ ation made by Nicholas Murray Butler, director of the Carnegie endowment for international peace. A similar request has been made to most of the uni versities and colleges in the United States. Quite a goad-sized box of books and publications of learned societies has already been made up to send. The shipment is to be made the early part of next week and it is urged that anyone having books and publications that they may wish to give for the benefit, turn them in to the library by Tuesday moruiiig. Any books of permanent interest and value and in any field are de sired. BEULAH CLARK TO GIVE RECITAL WEDNESDAY Program Will Include Flute and Piano Selections Beulah Clark, a senior in the school of music, will give a flute and piano recital, in Alumni hall, May ‘J8, at 8:15. She has had much experience in public performances, as sip: has been '.connected with chmitauqua circuits all over tlio country, playing both instruments ■is a soloist and accompanist. . Her program will include two flute groups, a group of selections from Schumann, Mendolssohn, Liszt, Chopin and Brahm, and a group of modern compositions in cluding a Hungarian Rhapsody, by Dohnyni, one of the contemporary Hungarian composers. Miss Clark is a student of Mrs. Jano Thaeher, instructor of piano in the school of music. Her recital is not for graduation, as she intends to return to the campus next year to finish her music work. CRAFTSMEN TO LAY CORNER STONE TODAY The ceremony for the laying of the corner stone of the new Crafts man club building will be held this afternoon at 1 o’clock. John Mac Gregor, president of the club, asks that all campus Masons meet at the Eugene temple, on Eighth street, between Willamette and Olive, at 12:45 p. m., to convene with the grand lodge. The lodge will then adjourn to the site of the club house on Four teenth street, between Alder and Kincaid, and proceed with the ceremonies. President MacGregor asks that those possessing automo biles have them available for the transporting of the members of the Grand Lodge to tho scene of the ceremony. All members of tho faculty and students are invited to attend the ceremony at the Craftsman club building. The ceremonies are sche duled to commence at 1 p. m. WITT DOWNS | WHITMAN NINE Brooks Holds Missionaries to Seven Hits in Close Contest Which Ends 6-4 HOBSON MAKES HOMER I Oregon Gets Twelve Hits; Northern Team Cuts Off Runs by Clever Fielding The University of Oregon ball squad garnered their second win out of five games while on the road by defeating the Whitman tossers, 6-4, in a slug-fest yester day. This is Skipper Brooks’ second win for the trip, he having officiated at the defeat of the Washington State sluggers last Tuesday. The Oregon team seems to have retrieved their batting eye and | pounded Beck, the Whitman twirl j er, for 12 safe cdouts. Fast work | on the part of the Whitman fielders held the hit column 'and the score as low as it was. Hall and Leroux cutting off three runs at home plate by wonderful throws from the deep outfield. Oregon Scores First Oregon drew blood in the first frame, when they bunched hits enough to drive in one run. The score stood 1-0 then until the third, which was Brooks’ one bad inning. In this canto, the Missionaries started slapping the ball for safe clouts, and these intersperced by an occasional walk, enabled them to make all their four scores. Brooks managed to weather the storm, however, and hold the Walla Walla athletes safely from then on. In their half of the fourth, the Lemon-Yellow aggregation got to Beck for a couple of drives and chased in two runs by the help of a Whitman orror. This ended the scoring until the eighth. In this frame, Terrill started tho offensive by a safo bingle, and Bittner ad vanced him by another; then, after two were out, Skipper Brooks stepped up and banged one far enough to enable both to score. This gave Oregon a lead, with the score k a Second Game Today In the ninth, Hobson gathered his fourtli homer for the trip by smashing out a clean four-base smack, giving Oregon a two-run lead, which the Whitman athletes were unable to surmount in their half of the frame. Oregon plays Whitman again to day and should they win this con test they will have an average of .500 for their trip on the road; which is considered good work in any league. R. H. E.

LIFE-SAVING EXAMS PASSED BY SIX WOMEN Six women out of 30 who took lessons passed the life-saving tests I that were given last weekend and I the first part of this week. The majority failed because they did not fulfill the qualifications to 1 become eligible; eight were dis qualified during the tests. Miss Emma Waterman, instruc tor in the department of physical education, was the only olio who qualified as an examiner. The others who passed are Margaret Mylne and Pearl Pyritz, seniors in the department of physical edu cation; Margaret MeVey, fresh man; Katherine Reade, sophomore in sociology; and Charlotte Win uard, sophomore in sociology. Pass ing the test entitles them to be come members of the National American Red Cross life-saving corps. “The test was much harder than usual, but the work was excep tionally fine,” said Barbara Page, swimming instructor. Next year the course will be given during the fall quarter. The test consisted of disrobing in deep water and swimming 100 yards, a surface dive, four carry holds, four standard breaks, minor tests, and written and oral tests on life-saving.
