Miss Jackson is an expert on vocational guidance, and has been brought to the campus for a few days by Mortar Board.

Tuesday, from 10 to 1:30, a special election will be held in front of the library, to vote off the tie between Louise Inabnit and Dorothy Myers for vice president of the Women’s League. VARSITY SWIMMERS WILL MEET REAVERS Oregon Men End Training In Good Condition The final splash of the year will be staged in Corvallis this after noon when the varsity swimmers tangle with the Beavers. This promises to be one of the closest meets of the year as both teams have an all-state record holder on board. Bob Boggs for Oregon, hold er of the 220 yard dash state record and Peterson, for O. A. C. holder of the 00 yard dash title will vie for high point honors. Immediately following the lunch hour this afternoon the watermen will enter a special bus and expect to alight at the Aggie gymnasium1 in time for the meet at 3 o’clock. In the last meet between these two teams the Ags won by the small margin of four points. With the addition of Boggs in the dash and relay the varsity will try and reverse the last decision. “It can be done and the men are all hopped up over it,” says Coach Eahl. The men have been working out nightly and are in the best shape of this season he further stated. This meet holds all indications of clipping a few tenths of a sec ond if not more off two of the intercollegiate' state Tecords, as both of the present holders are primed for the occasion. If the records are not beaten they will be severely scorched, stated the coach. Julian Smith the latest addition to the assemblage of swimmers, will enter his first intercollegiate swim and is expected to make a creditable showing. He has, been going good in practice. Coach Fahl and nine men will make the trip this afternoon, leav ing here at 1 o’clock.

ALBERTA POTTER WILL TEACH VIOLIN AT ALABAMA COLLEGE Alberta Potter, a graduate of the "University of Oregon in 1923 re ceiving a B. M. degree, and at present a member of the violin department in the school of music here, has been appointed head of the violin department in the Alabama State Women’s college at Montevallo, Alabama. This Southern school has one of the leading music schools in that section of the country, and the dean of the school of music is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music. Miss Potter has studied violin since she was a very small girl. Her most intensive studying was done on this campus with Bex Un derwood, professor of violin and head of the University orchestra. Last year she studied in New York with Franz Kneisal of the Dam orosch Institute of Musical Art. Miss Potter will leave in Septem ber for the South to take up her new duties. “I am looking for ward with the greatest anticipation to my work in the South, not only to my position as head of the vio lin department in the Alabama State Women’s college, but to _the people and surroundings, which I am told are very different from those of the East and West.” While on the campus Miss Pot i ter was among the most active , members of Mu Phi Epsilon, na tional women’s musical fraternity. She is also a member of Delta Gamma. GRIDSTERS WIEEI IN MIGHTY FIGHT Brawn and Energy Run Riot; Johnsonians Defeat Dix ons By 6 to 0 Score MORTALITY LIST HIGH Goal Posts Nearly Crack Under Impact; Coach Highly Pleased With Team By the G-ridd Kidd Two mighty grid teams,—two masses of bursting muscles, tough ened sinews and barely suppressed energy—met on Hayward field yes terday, and by the grace of Rob ert Vanderwaters Mautz, referee, the Johnsonians emerged victors af ter forty minutes of hectic fipht by the score of six to nothing. It was a battle that took every ounce of wind that the men and Referee Mautz had—but after it was all over, after the smoke and sawdust had cleared, the gallant of ficial mustered one last loud shout, “You have great teams, boys, and a greater referee! Long Live our Alma Mater! ” With these words R. V. Mautz, ’28, passed off the field, and incidentally, out of this story. Johnson, Dixon Captains The two teams lined up under the captains Carl Johnson and Dix on, centers of the opposing elevens. Several of the original line-ups were in the game at the end of the first quarter, but by the time the final whistle blew, Head linesman Oberteuffer was the only man who had lasted through the entire clash. The high mortality was not due to lack of playing ability, however, but because Coach Smith desired to give every man out a chance to participate in the struggle. The game was a see-saw, with neither team having the advantage, until just before the final whistle, when Johnson’s crew, by a series of rushes, carried the ball up and across for a touchdown. A try for goal nearly resulted in one of the uprights being displaced, so near did the sphere come to going over. Next Game Wednesday A similar contest will be staged next Wednesday between two teams, and a final clash will take place Friday. _ Friday evening the football men, all who have been out the entire spring season, will banquet as a fitting ending to the playing period. Coach Smith is highly pleased with the |howing the men have made so far, but he refuses to pick any favorites as yet. Every man is given an equal chance to play, and this policy will continue next fall until the official squads are picked. The starting line-ups yesterday were as follows: Dixons—Dixon (Captj, c; Del Monte, re; Warren, rt; Belshaw, rg; Kidwell, Ig; Kjelland, rt; Flangas, le; Stoddard, q; Hodgen, f; Cush man. rh; Wilkenson, lh. Johnsons—Johnson (Capt.), c; Reynolds, re; Kelly, rt; Haggerty, rg; Wilcox, Ig; Cookingham, rt; Reynolds, le; Anderson, q; Good ing, f; Langworthv, rh; Leavitt, lh. Officials: Robert Van Mautz, referee; Del Oberteuffer, head I linesman; H. C. Howe, field mar shall; Virgil Earl, scorekeeper; J. W. Benefiel, custodian of the foot ball. TWO R. O. T. C. LIEUTENANTS RECEIVE RANK OF CAPTAIN First Lieutenants W. Norman Larabee and Earl W. Smith, of the R. O. T. C. unit Of the University, have been promoted to eadet cap tains in the local organization, ac cording to the contents of Special Order No. 4, for 1925, recently re ceived by Captain Frank L. Culin, of the R. O. T. C. department. Lieutenant Larabee was promoted to fill the vacancy left open by Waldemar S. Seton, who has with drawn from school, while ,Lieuten ant Smith’s promotion to a cadet ] captain was to fill an original va 1 oancy. The promotions are effec | tive at the beginning of the current term. BENOIT McCROSKEY WINS STATE MEET Patrolman Macy Takes Stray Goats On Tour of Campus Who got officer Macy’s goat? —Nobody! That would have been a very difficult feat to per form this morning, for that of ficer had a whole flock of goats, about 15 in fact. Patrolman Macy found the goats wandering aimlessly about the University campus, and hav ing a few leisure moments and an inclination for good, he got the band of visitors together and personally conducted them about the grounds. The main points of interest for the visitors were Friendly hall, the shack and the art building. They became so interested in the doings of the journalists that their guide’s pre-arranged sched ule was quite broken up. The strangers seemed to feel right at home there, and they were very appreciative of the warm wel come which they received. ^Ir. Richard Godfrey, Harold Hunnicutt and Mr. J. B. Shaw, all of the school of journalism, assisted the officer on showing the guests around. After the tour the happy visitors were escorted to their quarters, a beau tiful little home by the millrace. VOCATIONAL EXPERT TO. BE HERE MONDAY Women to Hold Conferences With Miss Jackson An exceptional opportunity will be given to the women of Oregon April 13 and 14, when Miss Flor ence Jackson, an expert on voca tional guidance, will be on the cam pus for the purpose of giving talks and holding personal conferences. “The last time a vocational ex pert was on the Oregon campus was in 1917,” said Dean Esterly. “I want to urge the girls to take ad vantage of this visit, and especially of the personal conferences. Those wishing to talk with Miss Jackson confidentially must sign up at my office.” Having been a vocational instruc tor at Wellesly and also the di rector of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union of Massachu setts, Miss Jackson is considered one of the cleverest experts in the country on vocational guidance. She is coming under the auspices of Mortar Board, and that organi zation will direct her entertainment during her brief sojourn here. ' The program which has been ar ranged for Miss Jackson begins with a talk before a mass meeting of all campus women at 5 o ’clock Monday afternoon at Villard hall. One-half of the senior women on the campus will listen to a talk by Miss Jackson at Hendricks hall Monday evening. Tuesday evening the other half of the senior women •will have an opportunity to hear her at Susan Campbell hall. All day ,Tuesday private half-hour confer ences will be held at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. Mortar Board will entertain Miss Jackson at a lun cheon at the Anchorage Tuesday noon. Mrs. Sam B. Warner, who knows Miss *Tackson personally, will enter tain her during her stay in Eugene. Miss Lucy O’Meara, who is accom panying Miss Jackson as secretary, will stay at one of the halls. MORTAR BOARD TO GIVE JITNEY DANCE TODAY A jitney dance, sponsored by Mortar Board, honorary senior wo men’s society, will be held at the Campa Shoppe this afternoon be tween the hours of 2:30 and 5.

Winner of State Peace Contest (Benoit McCroskey HOUSE BHSEBALL SCHEDUEE IS OUT First Game of Tournament Is Set for Wednesday Afternoon, 4 O’clock GAMES TO BE SHORTENED Doughnut baseball takes the lead for intramural activity with the first game of the tournament slated for next Wednesday. According to Virgil Eai'l, athletic director, this first contest will open what prom ises to be a fast season. Games will be played Thursday and Sat urday also, and the first round will be completed by the first of the following week. At that time a new schedule will be drawn up for the semi-finals. For the benefit of organizations in doubt as to the rules of the tournament, the following were ac cepted at the meeting held, last Monday. They are: All teams were willing to play their games at any time that could be arranged by the department of athletics. Evening games were much preferred to early morning games. Games to Be Short All games up to the semi-final round are to be five innings in duration but the semi-finals and final are to be seven innings each. There will be a placard placed in the office of the department of athletics upon which the various teams may list their claims to prac tice periods, each team respecting the other’s pre-arranged hour. Each organization agreed to fur nish two baseballs and all equip ment with the exception of score book, catcher’s mitt and pad, and bats if possible. All games will be arranged from the office of the de partment of athletics and official# for the games will be chosen by the department. The umpire will hold full power of the contests and will call the game over after the time period of one and a half hours have terminated providing the five inning period is unfinshed. This rule was made so that the game fol lowing can start on time. Failure of a team to showup at the sched uled time will result in a forfeit ure to opponents. This rule is un derstood to be void in case of a tie game or in case of a seven inning semi-final or final contest. Game Schedule Listed Following is the schedule as drawn up by the department of ! athletics: Wednesday»Psi Kappa vs. Kap | pa Rigma, 4 p. m. Friendly hall vs. i Beta Theta Pi, 5:30.

(Special to the Emerald)—Benoit MeCroskey, a freshman from the University of Oregon, tonight was awarded the first prize in the State Peace Oratorical contest held here this evening. MeCroskey, whose oration was entitled “The Last Milestone,” was unanimously ac claimed the winner of the $75 award. Second prize of $50 went to Joseph M. Applegate, of the Eu gene Bible university, while third place was awarded to the speaker from Linfield college. The winning manuscript will be sent to the national headquarters of the Intercollegiate Peace associ ation, for competition for the na tional prizes. Speech Is Brilliant MeCroskey presented a clear, con cise picture of the developments toward world peace, and the “last mile-stone” was declared to be a form of international league, with a court to enforce its legislation. The speech was brilliantly de livered, and the young man had an unusually excellent stage appear ance. The decision carries with it the right to claim the championship of the state in oratory, since nine leading institutions were repre sented. Institutions which were repre sented are: Oregon Agricultural college, Eugene Bible university, Willamette university of Salem, Pacific college of Newberg, Lin field college of McMinnville, Al bany college, Oregon State Normal school of Monmouth, Pacific uni versity of Forest Grove, and Uni versity of Oregon. • Winner is Active The winner of the contest has been unusually active in forensics. He debated on the varsity teams which met the Oregon Agricultural college and the University of Ida ho, and last year he won the state high school championship in ora tory. The contest tonight was marked by a number of brilliant addresses which showed careful analysis of the subject. DR. H. TORREY WRITES ARTICLE FOR JOURNAL A current number of the “Jour nal of General Physiology,” con tains a paper from the department of experimental biology on the de pressant effect of thyroxin on the division rate of paramecium. Thyroxin is a crystalline body which is extracted from the thy roid gland, and is its chief hor mone. The purpose of the investi gation made by the . ..department was to determine the effect of this hormone on the individual cells of living bodies. Paramecium is a one-celled organism, which is con venient to use for this purpose. Dr. Harry B. Torrey, in collabor ation with two members of the de partment, prepared the article.

Haich Ghee Wanted—someone to teaeh the law students of the University something about Law! The allegation that the sports writers are guilty of a serious vio lation of the laws of contract (more commonly spoken of as “the law of contracts”) is entirely false and misleading, and the statement as spoh is grounds for a libel suit. In the “first place, no contract was entered into, hence the alleged vio lation is impossible. I The law students boldly, without basis of any kind, announced to the campus that a team formed, presumably, in the law school, was the championship baseball team of the University. Now to any one familiar with sporting ethics, the right of challenge lies entirely with the party other than the champion. The law students merely stated that they had a baseball team, a fact that is open to doubt in it self. When the sports writers chal lenged, they did so on a purely amateur basis, and the conditions named were in accordance with what is recognized as strictly ama teur for University teams. The law students had two choices,— first, to accept the challenge as giv en, or to politely enter into nego tiations for a game under mutually agreeable conditions. So the sports writers, still gentle men, in a gentlemanly way, again challenge the law school to a game of baseball, under conditions to be drawn up by a joint committee of five; two representatives from each team, and Bill Reinhart. Said game is to take place at a time and lo cation designated within three weeks from the date of this official and perfectly legal challenge.
