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

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’

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.

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

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.

| 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

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.

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.
