VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1925 NUMBER 125 injqn O JO A Adolph Leads Last Canto Rally and Swat By Bliss Brings in Final Score HIDDEN BALL TRICK USED “Skipper” Brooks Replaced By Harrison; Hit and Run Play Used Successfully With two down and the' Wash ington State nine leading in the last half of the ninth inning, by a two run margin, it appeared as if the curtain was ready to be rung down on another Oregon defeat. A final rally in the ninth inning turned the tide and Oregon emerged victorious 8 to 7. It started when Rex Adolph singled over second, "Wright batting for West flied out to Berg. Harri son fanned, Reinhart walked, Mim naugh hit a single to left, scoring Adolph, Hobson walked, filling the bases. Bliss, the next man up, hit a single to left that carried Rein hart and Mimnaugh home with the tying and winning runs. The tilt yesterday afternoon on the new diamond, was a real thril ler from start to finish, with the lead continually shifting. Skipper Brooks, twirling for Oregon, held the visitors well in hand till toward the end of the battle. At the first of the eighth inning, Brooks weakened and Fred Harri son, finished the contest. Trick Plays Used Nearly every trick play in the category of baseball was used in the battle yesterday. One of the high spots of the contest was a per fectly executed hit-and-run play by Mimnaugh and Hobson, Mimnaugh advancing from first to third on a sparkling single from Hobson’s stick. In an attempt to steal home, Mimnaugh collided with the catch er, and in a rough-and-tumble at tempt to reach the home plate, Mimnaugh crawled over the burlev catcher’s back, and touched the platter. In the seventh inning, Fred West successfully carried out the old time-worn hidden ball trick, catching Nolan off first, who was calmly watching Brooks get ready to pitch. In addition to these plays, a perfect catch by Frank Reinhart in the sixth inning with the bases loaded, saved Oregon considerable difficulty. One of the outstanding plays made by the Cougars, was a one-handed stab made by Shelby, in- robbing Mim naugh of a sure single, when the ball went scorching down the third base line. The big canto for the northern ers was the eighth inning, when three runs were scored on the same number of hits. This put the op position in possession of a one-run lead.

Local Authorities Forbid Students’ Smoking on 13th The administration has been notified by the city police of Eu gene that Thirteenth avenue must be cleared of smoking pedestri ans. If this is not done at once, measures will be taken promptly, the officers assert. It is pos sible that a traffic policeman would be installed. Now that the Student Council has accepted the report of the Traditions committee in regard to smoking, students may smoke on the sidewalks. It is no long er necessary for the nicotine ad dicts to congregate on’ Thirteenth avenue and obstruct the whole street. Students are requested to heed the warning of the city of ficials, and to save unnecessary interference with traffic.

I I sup. - WALTER MALCOLM UP FOR PRESIDENT Average of Groups 41.393; Estimates Do Not Include Work Done by Graduates THETAS FIRST WITH 51.6 Women’s organizations lead the rating for the winter term with 45.109. The men’s houses have a rating of 37.187, and the average of all organizations is 41.383. This does not include graduate students, because of the large number who are assistants, carrying only part time scholastic work. System Kevised To arrive at the rating, the grad ing system is reversed so that an hour of I counts 5 points; an hour of IT, 4 points; an hour of III, 3 points; an hour of IV, 2 points; and an hour of V, 1 point. In other words, the number of points given to a credit-hour is always equal to six minus the grade. Hence, rating equals the average number of hours passed per mem ber, multiplied by six minus the average grade. Standings Given House ratings for the winter term are as follows: Name Eating 1.

(Yale ’22, school of music) will give a program consisting entirely of work by Bach, at the next meeting of Weimar-Bund, May 12. The pro gram will begin at seven o’clock, •immediately after the business meeting. All those interested are invited. The program will be held at the College Side Inn. “Fugue in A Minor,” and "18 Small Preludes” are the selections made by Mr. Sloane. They were chosen because “they are more or less unknown in comparison with their more pretentious companions in the Well Tempered Clavichord,” the chairman of the program com mittee said. The life of Bach will be briefly summarized. The business meeting, will be carried on at the time of the din ner, which is to begin at 6 o’clock. Sport Writres And Lawyers Hold Ball Game Today Campus writers and the law school members will settle their feud this afternoon on Kincaid field when they will cross blud geons in a baseball struggle. The game is scheduled to go the full route of nine innings as the law school has announced that they will have at least a dozen twirl ers ready for relief duty when the sports writers unlimber their bats. The sports team has been weakened by the loss of Fred Harrison, former Daily Astorian writer, who has decided that he was not fast enough for the scribes and has condescended to pitch for the varsity. However, George Howard Godfrey, veteran skipper of the ink slingers, has promised to fill the vacancy with another capable mound perform er, even if lie has to secure one from the circus. While little is known of the actual strength of the lawyers, it is expected that the law school will send over a l*ig enough crowd of supporters to go out and fight for the game, if things look bad for their team. However, up to a late hour last night, Manager King had not decided whether he would use a portsider or a right hander. Indefinite Stand Taken by Faculty On Saturday Classes The matter of Saturday classes remains unsettled due to the failure of the members of the faculty to take any definite ac tion on the measure at their meeting yesterday. The proposi tion was referred to the com mittee for further consideration. The faculty turned down the extension of the examination per iod from two hours to three. The final vote on the Satur day classes will be taken at the next faculty meeting on the first ; Wednesday in June. HALLS FAVOR CHANGE IN WOMEN’S SPORTS Susan Campbell and Hendricks j halls are backing the “game-for-its own-sake” attitude in sports t.o the | limit. At the conference held Tues ! day night to adjust the inequality iin teams existing between halls and 1 houses, the two big halls of resi j dence voted a handicap upon them selves in the event that inter-house j sports are retained at the mass 'meeting Monday. The agreement as adopted pro vides that each hall will enter only as many candidates in a sport as are considered proportionate to the whole turn-out for the sport. The exact number allowed a hall will be determined in each qase the coach, house manager, and head of the sport. It was further agreed that every hall team will be entered upon an individual competitive basis. Con trary to past custom, hall teams may now play other teams from the same hall. This is one of the most positive indications of the change in attitude on the Oregon campus toward sports. In the past, the halls, fearing a split in house spirit, have refused to allow their teams to meet in com | petition. The privilege was reserved by the | halls of withdrawing this agreement at the end of next year if it does i not prove successful, or extending lit for another year for further trial, or adopting it as a permanent rul ing. JUNIOR MIL TICKETSON SALE Numbers to Be Exchanged For Reserved Seats; Limit is Forty Tickets OFFICE WILL OPEN AT 10 Seats go on sale for the Junior Vo'd-vil this morning at 10 o’clock, it is announced, and the mad scram ble of former years is expected to be avoided by the “number scheme,” worked out by Jimmy Leake, who is in charge of the ticket sale. The idea failed to save the customary all night vigils, how ever, for Tuesday night, as early as eight o’clock, the candidates for best seats began to line up for their “numbers” which were sched uled to be given out the next af ternoon. Those who got the num bers will be given seats in order this morning, but a limit of 40 seats is placed on a number. Matinee May Be Given, In spite of the fact that all re hearsals are supposed to be private, enough students have seen parts of them to spread the news of the high quality of the junior class’s great est event, to all others on the cam pus, and a record demand for tick ets is anticipated. The Bhow will be given two nights, however, and it is hoped that all students can be accomodated. If the demand is heavy enough, a popular price mat inee will be given Saturday. Paul Krausse, in charge of the stage, has completed his final check-up on all nets, and reports that every one is ready to put their stuff across the footlights in grand theatrical style. “Its a show that would turn a Broadway revue man ager green with envy,” declares TCrausse. “Every act is Orplieum quality, no less, and darn good Orphcum stuff at that.” High Quality Promised Originality and humor will vie : with high quality in the produc | tion. “Who Killed the Dead IPig?” written by A1 Clark, teems 'with laughs, while plenty of laughs ! are interspersed throughout the ! other numbers. The highest in or chestration is reached by the Pi-id : Pipers, whose offering will be as startling ns it will be original and musical. The Alpha Xi Delta’s act, which is crammed full of well-liked musi cal selections, is declared by the few that have crept in to see and hear it, to be a revelation in this art. Jane Scriptures in jazz spec ialties, and the barber shop quar tet in close harmony now have a I bet ur> of supper after both shows ! on the amount of applause forth ! coming. Delbert Faust now has 1 his dancing act worked up to per j faction, and he and his partner, Edna Dipple, are expected to prove one of the features for the show. Seats will sell at $1.00 and 75 cents, with every seat reserved, it ; is announced. 1 _ HERMIAN CLUB HEARS CAMP FIRE SECRETARY “Health and Recreation Projects [ in the Harvest Fields of Oregon,” | was the subject of the address giv j en by Miss Oorin Hegcmarck, exe ■ cutive secretary of the Camp Fire 1 girls in Oregon, at the meeting of j the Hermian club, Tuesday even ing. “This work.” Miss Hegemarck ; says, "is yet in the pioneer stage ! in our state. There are stations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Hele ware and Maryland. The work was initiated by a committee represent ing the National Women’s Mis sion boards, funcAming through the Council for Home Missions.” Bob McCabe Announces for Vice-President Delores Pearson is Candidate for Secretary; Elizabeth Cady Out for Editorship of Annual; Case and Johnson Make Race For Head of Emerald Four-cornered By D. W. After the first two days of relative quiet among the pol itical camps, yesterday proved stimulating and more exciting. The big question, “Who will run for president?”, was answered just five minutes before closing time for accepting candidacies, when Walter Malcolm’s name was turned in for the chief exe cutive position in the student body. But one running mate has announced himself. Bob McCabe aspires to the vice-presidency. DeLoris Pearson placed her name on the ballot for the position of keeping the student body minutes next year, as secretary. The duel between Kirk and Mil ler developed into a four-some when Jim Case and Jalmar Johnson typed out their names and entered the lists to contest for tho editor’s chair of the Emerald. Only one student appears to wish the respon sibility of getting out the annual next year. This is Elizabeth Cady, who signified her desire yesterday morning to head the Oregana staff. Besides these already men tioned a considerable number en tered the ring for the executive and student council openings. Of these the student council vacancies of the senior and junior years ap pear to be the most desirable from the number of students announcing themselves. No one has placed his name for sophomore man on the Student Council, yell leader or jun ior woman on the student council, but it is probable candidates will be proposed for these places from the floor of assembly today. Candidates are Active Malcolm, a member of Phi Delta Theta, has been particularly active in dramatics and debate work, hav ing engaged in each since his fresh man year. He has represented the University in a number of varsity debates, one, the first radio debate, held between California and Ore gon and another, the Oxford-Oregon debate, being particularly note worthy. Each was won by the Ore gon team. Malcolm is chairman of the forensic committee, a member of the student council, and was in ; CANDIDATES ANNOUNCED i FOR A. S. U. O.
