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. Winners in these i
preliminary races will compete on 1
Field Day for the trophy to be j
awarded at that time.

Rocks of Siskiyou
Mountains Topic
Of E. L. 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.”

HELPERS NEEDED
FOR PROM WORK
All Men Urged to Report
At Armory During Spare
Time Today and Friday
HALL TO BE DECORATED
Men Advised to Purchase
Tickets to Dance At Once
Says Sherman, Chairman
Additional help is needed to as
sist in the decoration work for the
Junior Prom, according to Fred
Martin, general chairman of the
construction work.
Every .iunior man, who is not ac
tively engaged in work on another
committee for Junior Week-end, is
expected to appear at the Armory
today. 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. If members of the
junior class wish to see all of the
events scheduled for Fridajy and
Saturday, it is imperative that they
assist with the construction work
today. There is sufficient work to
keep between twenty and thirty
men busy all day and evening; so
each house is expected to keep rep
resentatives at the Armory all of
the time.
The designing and making of the
hangings for the orchestra pavilion
and the punch booth have been com
pleted. Anna DeWitt has charge
of this work.
All of the girls who have been
asked to assist Constance Cleaver
$re urged to co-operate with her
in the preparing of the tapestries
for the walls.
The various units of the work
assigned to the different women’s
organizations by Jane BoDine is
well under way; according to a re
port made yesterday.
All members of the decorations
committee are asked to be at the
Armory at every hour possible this
afternoon and evening to assist in
the directing of the workers.
“Babe” Sherman, chairman of
the tickets sale, announced that
the tickets have been distributed
to the various men’s organizations
and at the Co-op. All of the men
who have not purchased their Prom
tickets yet are urged to do so im
mediately. The sale of tickets, it
was said, has been progressing rap
idly; and judging by the total sale
of tickets so far, the attendance at
the Prom this year will be unusu
ally large.
MU PM SCHOLARSHIPS
OPEN TP COMPETITION
May 27 is the date set by Mu
Phi Epsilon, national musical fra
ternity for women, as the last day
it will accept written applications
for the two scholarships to be
granted this year by the fraternity.
All applications should be addressed
to Lora Teshner, chairman of the
scholarship committee, at the school
of music building. These applica
tions, if accepted, will admit the
women students to the try-outs
which will be held the latter part
of the month.
Following is the information
which should be covered in the ap
plication: year in college, present
address and phone number, previous
musical training, whom studying
with at present time, intentions af
ter finishing school, financial help,
needed, etc.
The scholarships will be granted

and the award will be in the form
of a loan covering a year’s study,
of one lesson a week, while the fac
ulty will cooperate with Mu Phi
Epsilon by giving the scholarship
holders a second lesson weekly,
gratis.
In this manner it is hoped by the
fraternity to assist two worthy
students in continuing their study
(Continued on yage four)
History Repeats
Itself in Reviews
Of Famous Debates
The advanced public speaking
class was jarred from its usually
decorous and staid procedure yes
terday by a rather funny inci
dent. 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! ”

Setting, Marvel of Beauty
No effort is being sparred by the
art and physical education depart
ment to make the setting for this
act, a marvel of sheer beauty. There
is a ruined Grecian temple in the
background. A statue can be seen
between the lofty Doric columns.
Five water nymphs, in a soft film
of delicate colors rouse themselves
from the broad steps of the temple
as the curtain rises, and dance at
the edge of a tranquil lake in the
foreground.
A fountain in the like catches
and reflects all the colors of the
rainbow as its waters flash and fall
in the sunlight. The fountain is a
spectacle of glancing colors. Three
swans float in the lake.
