TRACK TEAM IS BADLY CRIPPLED Casualties Pile Up as Pen Wilbur, 440 Man, Goes to Infirmary With Bad Cold * KELSEY GAINING SLOWLY Loss of Hurdler and Relay Man Will Add Materially To Weakness of Squad The list of track cripples piles up. Pen Wilbur, varsity 440 man, by being confined in the infirmary with a severe cold will probably wreck the mile relay team. Wilbur in placing high in all the tryouts proved himself to be a strong run ner. It will be hard to find a man to take his place in the relay team if he is not able to enter the meet with O. A. C. this week end. Wil bur, with Jim Kinney, Joe Price, and Don Cash, promised to be a winning combination in the final thriller of the afternoons program. Who Bill Hayward will use in Wil bur’s place has not been decided. Wilbur had hard luck just before the Washington relays because he pulled a muscle and was unable to compete. Kelsey Improving The latest reports from the Uni versity infirmary are to the effect that Walt Kelsey> star hurdler, is ► improving slowly. It is probable that he will be out by Saturday but he will be in no condition to do his usual fine work in his events. The loss of Kelsey necessitates the juggling around of several mem. bers of the team. Ralph Staley is taking his place in the broad jump and the low hurdles. Francis Cleaver will substitute for Kelsey in the high jump. Cleaver was a consistent performer in the event [ on the frosh team. Weakness Found in Weight The tryouts in the weights held yesterday afternoon brought out the fact that the team will probably be weak in the discus and shot. Some hard competition will be met by the Oregon men in several point winners on the Aggie team. In the shot put will be Mautz,' Stockwell and Moore. Entered in the discus is Mautz, Ebv and Stockwell. The half mile will have some changing around since Ivan Hous ton reported yesterday with a lame leg. The two regulars in the event who have been fighting it out for first place all season, Guy Mauney and Fred Gerke, will enter, but the. third man to enter the event is doubtful. Bill Hayward will have two more days to pick his man for the event. Jeffries to Enter Mile Don Jeffries, who has been train ing all season for the half mile, will enter the mile next Saturday with Henry Tetz and Neidermeier. Jeffries ran with the mile relay team in the Washington relays and if he can put as much speed in pro portion, into the mile as he does for the quarter he should place high up. Neidermeier is a new man on the team who shows a great deal of promise. This is his first year of varsity competition. He is be ginning to develop this season. The squad eased off training with the workout last night. From now on the team will limber up everv day and keep in shape for the an. nual classic track struggle with the Aggies. Two more days remain be fore the big event for the veteran mentor to round out the squad and mill the kinks as much as he can. The men, with the exception of the cripples, are in good condition. SATURDAY ENDS WOMEN’S CANOEING PRELIMINARIES Saturday is announced as the last I day of official practice for mem. ; bers of the woman’s class canoe- i ing teams. Second teams will hold elimination races next week, fol-! lowed by first ream races the sue- : reeding week.

Packard Geologic evidence of the an tiquity of the Siskiyou moun tains, as seen In the rocks out cropping along the highway, was discussed by Dr. Earl L. Pack ard, professor of historical geol ogy, in an article in the feature section of the Sunday Oregonian. The oldest of these rocks may date back to the Protozoic era, perhaps 50,000(000 years ago. The rocks comprising the geo logic column for that region, and the geologic history they repre sent are interpreted. The rocks as seen by the tourist along the road are described according to their geologic history, so that “all who ‘ride’ may read.” DAILY STUFF TO HAVE BANQUET ON AAAY 29 Prizes Will Be Awarded to Emerald Workers About one hundred are expected to be present at the annual Emer ald banquet, to be held Friday evening, May 29.

Chairmen of the various committees will be there all Thurs day afternoon and evening to di rect the work. As there will be no classes all day Friday, work will begin at the Ar mory immediately after lunch to day, and will continue all Thurs day evening.

It was this way. The class has been reviewing the Lincoln-Douglas debates, giv ing the speeches in a summarized form. A member of the class presided, and all should have been calm,—as could well be im agined. But unfortunately, “there’s many a slip” and things do not always work out as planned. The representative of Stephen A. Douglas arrived early that day. He looked stealthily around. No one was in sight. When the class assembled it was startled to behold the white plaster bust of Lincoln, which usually reposes on a shelf in Villard, serenely above the stu dent life which surges about it, placed upon a pedestal on the front of the rostrum, wearing a freshman’s green cap perched rakishly over one ear. The con trast was startling. “Stephen Douglas has indeed set Lincoln upon a pedestal,” said the chairman. “History repeats itself! ” 0ENEFIEL RE-ELECTED AS GRADUATE MANAGER Councils Hear Duties of New Officers Explained The newly elected officers of the student and executive councils met with the old officers at the last meeting of the respective bodies last night.
