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.

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:

WELLINGTON SLOANE
TO PLAY BEFORE CLUB
Wellington Sloane, Mus. B. (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.

“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

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
