R.D.T.C. CADETS
TEST RIFLE SKILL
Sergeant Agule in Charge
Of Target Practice
RANGE WORK OMITTED
High Ratings Received By
Last Year’s Men
The area immediately south of
the B. O. T. C. barracks has re
cently become a scene of great ac
tivity, where thirty-two cadets of
the unit, preparing for work at
summer camp, are engaged in learn
ing the fundamentals of rifle
marksmanship, under the direction
of Sergeant Agule, of the B. O. T.
C. department. The men are turn
ing out in two sections, practice
being held from 1 to 3 o’clock, on
Tuesday and Wednesday after
noons.
* The course in marksmanship this
term will consist of lfihours of drill
on preliminary exercises fin rflfle
work, and takes the place in part,
of the regular drill. Preliminary
exercises will be taken up this term
in order that the men going to
camp will be more fully prepared
for actual target range work.
Rifle Practice Cut
Formerly the course at the sum
mer camp consisted of from 60 to
70 hours of rifle practice, over the
regular army course, but this year
the course has been cut to 38 hours,
necessitating the preliminary work
being done here.
There will probably be no regu
lar range practice in actual firing
this term, according to Captain
Frank L. Culin, of the R. O. T. C.
department. Range gfractlce was
held on a leased range several
miles south of Eugene last spring,
but due to the fact that practice
could only be held on Saturdays
and the difficulty of transporting
the men to and from the range,
such work was found impracticable.
There will probably be some auto
matic rifle work this term, however,
said Captain Culin.
At the summer camp, which will
be held at Camp Lewis, Washing
ton, this year from June 12 to
July 23, the course in marksman
ship consists of work with the reg
ular IT. S. army .30 calibre Spring
field rifle, firing over courses of
200, 300, 500, and 600 yards, both
slow and rapid fire. The maximum
score is 350 hits, and the cadets are
classified, according to their pro
ficiency, into three classes: Ex-pert
rifleman, 300 out of a possiblo 350
hits; sharpshooter, 285, and marks
man, 250.
4
Ratings to Be Given
During range practice at camp
the cadets from the various insti
tutions are rated according to their
respective scores. The institution
having the highest score at the end
of the period is then awarded the
trophy, “The Doughboy of the
West,” a minature replica of the
original sculpture, made by Pro
fessor Avaril Fairbanks, formerly
of the fine arts department of the
University of Oregon. In addition,!
about ten of the men having fired
the highest score are chosen to
represent the 3th Corps area, of the
R. O. T. ('., in the national marks
manship match, to be held at Camp
Perry, Ohio, early in September.
Last year many of the cadets
from the University of Oregon re
ceived high ratings, almost all of
them making marksmanship -medals
or better, according to Sergeant
Agule, who will have charge of the
rifle instruction this term.
DEVELOPMENT OF GREEK
SCULPTURE IS DISCUSSED
V The development ol' Greek sculpt
ure was traced in an illustrated
lecture, given by .1. K. Ainsworth
Johnstone, of the Latin department,
before a meeting of Collegium
Augustale, in the Oregon building,
Tuesday night. Slides, showing
te more celebrated pieces of Greek i
work were presented. The distinct \
difference between archaic and
Greek sculpture was pointed out.
Professor F. Dunn will give the
next lecture, also illustrated. The;
title will be the Roman archeology.

OREGON NOT TO
COMPETE IN TOURNEY
Oregon will not be represented
at the Pacific Northwest associa
tion boxing and wrestling tourna
ment which was held at the Mult
nomah club gymnasium Thursday
night , and again tonight. Frank
Jtiggs, Oregon student, present 160
pound P. N. A. champion, will de
fend his title under the Multnomah
club colors.
Over ninety boxers and wrestlers
have entered the tournament, and
the Oregon Agricultural college has
19 men entered. It appears that
something is lacking on the part of
athletic officials of Oregon not to
send a boxer or a wrestler to com
pete. Lack of finances is prob
ably the reason.
Tug Irving, who by sport writers
of Portland, is rated as one of the
best amateur 135 pounders who has
ever worked in a Portland ring, par
ticipated in several bouts in Port
land and won most of them by
knockouts. He and Riggs are the
logical men to represent Oregon in
the boxing championship, but both
will wear Multnomah club colors.
The reason that no wrestlers are
sent is that the men are out of con
dition, states Earl Widmer, wrest
ling mentor. This is a logical an
swer but Ford, varsity 125 pounder,
would, if he had been entered, make
a strong bid for the championship,
as he is fast and crafty.
If Oregon would have sent Irving,
Riggs and Ford to Portland for the
P. N. A. champions the University
.would probably have three cham
pions but it now appears that the
laurels will go elsewhere.—P. L.
PORTLAND’S CHANCES
DOUBTFUL
The 1925 baseball season in the
Pacific Coast league opened in
southern points Tuesday. Portland
by chance won the opener from Los
Angeles by a score of 7 to 3. By
the victory the fans in the state
have a little more confidence in the
home team. However, as the season
is yet young, the outcome of the re
vamped Beavers is yet an unknown
quantity. t
The fans have been crying for
a championship team for some time
and it appears that the Beavers
need considerable strengthening to
Stay in the first division.
If by any chance Poole, the star
first baseman, or Johnny Jones,
guardian of the short patch, should
give in to the terms offered by the
Portland officials, the fans would
bo satisfied that Portland would
be in the race.
The results remain to bo seen.
There is a rumor that Poole wired
President Turner of the Beavers
that ho would join the club in Salt
Lake next week to talk over terms.
Lets hope that he signs the con
tract.—P. L.
COACH QUIGLEY
RESIGNS
As a surprise to many track
followers and sport critics was the
resignation of Harold W. Quigley,
as director of athletics of the Jef
ferson high school of Portland.
Quigley, who is a graduate and post
graduate of the University of Ore
gon has been in charge of athletics
at Jefferson for the past seven
years.
Quigley has accepted a position
ns head athletic director of Ellins
burg normal school at Ellensburg,
Washington.
During his reign as coach at Jef
ferson his track teams have won
seven successive city champion
ships and two city football and
basketball championships have been
annexed.
Westerman, present varsity
sprinter, was formerly a pupil of
Quigley. Wetzel, Prondergrnst, of
the frosh track squad, and others,
received their early training from
the former Oregon student.—P. L.
CREW RACE TO
BE CLOSE
“This years race between the
Huskies and the Bears will be a
matter, not of length nor yards,
but of feet, and possibly even of
inches,” was the opinion of Rusty
Callow, coach of the Washington
sweepsters.
Whatever edge either squad may
have is beginning to melt away now
in the final five days before the
big regatta.
Injuries sustained by Captain
Max Luft and A1 Ulbrickson,
stroke of the northern squad, are,
now almost a matter of history, and
the Huskies are again displaying
the form and power that was a fea
ture of their first workout on the
estuary a week ago.
Similar fortune has awaited the
Bruin squad. All the first boat
men have resumed places at their
slides, and the shell is gliding
through the water at a pace never
before attained this season.
Ky Ebright has good reason to be
proud of his water Bears this sea
son, and he willingly admits that,
win or lose, they will be a credit
to their Alma Mater. Ky has good
hopes for clipping his time for the
three mile course down to 15 riiin
utes and 30 seconds before the race,
and may accomplish /even better
records if weather conditions prove
favorable.
Coach Callow can boast of 15:43
in a heavy gale and rain, which
is fine power considering the battle
with the elements. “Anyw-ay the
finish at the Park street bridge
will be worth watchingj” //said
Callow.—C. S.
GOLFERS SIGN
CONTRACTS
If.you can’t do anything but play
golf don’t be discouraged. If the
golf bug has made it impossible for
you to study, take heart, as the art
of playing golf is becoming more
and more profitable every day.
Several days ago Leo Diegel and
Gene Sarazen, the latter American
open golf champion in 1922, signed
contracts with the Golf Park Coun
try club of Miami, Florida, to
represent them on the greens., These
new positions are to begin the first
of December of this year and run
until the first of April of next
year. Their annual salaries are to
be $5,000 each. This is said to be
the largest sum over paid profes
sional golfers for a similar length
of duty. These contracts run for
a period of two years. Diegel will
be at the Glen Oak club, Great
Neck, Long Island, through the
coming summer.
In addition to the salary named,
either Diegel or Sarazen will get
$1,000 additional if he wins the
American or British open champion
ship.—D. S.
Oregon Enters Oratory
Meet; Benoit McCroskey
To Speak at Forest Grove
(Continued from pace one)
judges will determine the win
ners.
Elam Amstutz, forensic manager
of the University, will also attend
the contest tonight. He left for
Portland yesterday and will attend
the business meetings of the Oregon
Intercollegiate oratorical associa
tion Friday morning and afternoon
at Pacific university.
McCroskey has had unusual suc
cess in oratorical work while in the
University as well as in high school
at Salem. He debated on the var
sity team which met Oregon Agri
cultural college and University of
Idaho. Last year, speaking on the
subject of the federal constitution,
he won the state high school ora
torical championship and repre
sented Oregon in the district fin
als of a national contest at Los An
geles. McCroskey was also active
in debate work in high school.

The announcement was made last
night by Professor Beddie of the
drama department, that the annual
commencement play which is to be
presented in June at the end of the
spring term, will be “The First
