VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 NUMBER 13&v 4 VARSITY TO MEET O.A.C. TRACKMEN CONTEST TO BE AT 2:30 TODAY Close Score is Expected; Kelsey Is Back After Five Days in Infirmary FORTY AGGIES ENTERED By Web Jones Crack! The starter’s pistol shot ttiis af ternoon at 2:30 o’clock sends six lean distance runners treking with rhythmical strides around the first turn on Hayward field and opens the first event of the afternoon’s program in the biggest event of the track season in the annual O. A. C.-Oregon tussle for track hon ors. There’ll be a rejuvenation of that old Oregon fight as shown on the gridiron last fall. There will be races packed full of fight with nothing but nerve, for it’s in track that the man gets down to the last ounce and the last one puts him over the tape ahead. From the first sprint for the pole to the final spurt of the anchor man on the re lay team who fights it up to the tape with every ounce of energy expended with the baton swinging in his hand, the meet will be filled with tense moments. Close Contest Predicted Bill Hayward, the trainer of many teams for the annual dual meet, thinks it will be a close con test. “All we can do is to grit our teeth and fight right ahead. And we are not beaten till the last ditch.” That’s the spirit of the team. A team of oyer forty Aggies will arrive in Eugene this morning. For several years they have journeyed home with the laurels, but little be little Bill Hayward has built uc a track team—he has planned for the future and in the face of tre mendous handicaps has brought the team of 1925 to its highest effic iency and incidentally it appears stronger than any team for the past three years. Weak in certain events but with stellar showing in others the squad is fairly well rounded out. The Aggies are strong and they are filled with the determ ination to uphold their record of victories. Weather is Ideal Ideal weather conditions promise to prevail for the contest. The track has been worked over and presents a smooth surface which is unexcelled on the Pacific coast and equals the finest tracks in the United States.

Kevenge is sweet and the Aggies are out after it. In a previous meet the Corvallis lads went down to de feat 4 to 3, the Oregon frosh, also defeated the rooks, 5 to 2. The two meets today will be hard fought, with all the art of racquet wielding' exhibited by both teams. The Oregon varsity team will be the same as the one which previous ly defeated the Aggies. Harry Meyer, captain, will get his last crack at the Aggies and will prob ably keep them running all over the court. George Hayden, letterman, should work well against the visi tors.

Lau has just completed the plans of the building, which is located in the large area radiating from the civic art center. The building is of stone and mea sures over 450 feet in length. A tower rising from the back of the structure houses the scenery drops and is 150 feet high. A new idea has been conceived by the archi tect, which allows the scenery and back-drops to be raised from apart ments under the stage where they slide to the sides on three tray rails, and after they have been used for one scene, are raised to the high tower, where they are out of the way of the stage hands and actors. The ceiling of the stage beyond the back-drops is painted to resem ble the sky, and is arched in a bow instead of the usual square cornered ceiling. On either side of the stage are long wings extending out beyond the main structure, where the dres sing-rooms of the actors are locat ed, those of the actors are one side of the stage and those of the ac tresses on the other. There are al so rooms where the children and immediate family of the actors can wait until the show is over. In these same wings there is a green room where the great actors can entertain their admirers, and meet interviewers. Needless to say the dressing rooms are modern in their equipment and elaborately designed. The main auditorium is capable, CContinued on page three} ROOKS DEFEAT FRESHMEN, H Excellent Pitching By Winters Baffles Frosh; But Four Hits Allowed BAKER STARS FOR BABES By Dick Syring A small red-shirted man with the monicer of Winters had the Oregon frosh baseball nine eating out of his hand throughout the nine in nings played yesterday on the new varsity diamond. As a reward for his efforts he turned in a well earned 6 to 1 victory for the Ore gon Agricultural college rooks. Winters, pitching some of the best ball seen on the local diamond this year, struck out fourteen of the Oregon babes. His speed and curve ball had the yearlings fan ning the air most of the time. Only 30 men faced him and he allowed but four hits. Baker Pitches Well Baker, frosh pitcher, pitched a good game, allowing ten hits but keeping them scattered enough to win any ball game. He got off to a bad start in the first inning al lowing two runs but after that kept them well scattered. Baker re ceived credit for eleven strike-outs. Up to the eighth inning only one frosh player was able to reach first and that was because of getting hit. Mayfield, first Oregon hitter up in the eighth poled out the first hit. This ■vwts quickly followed by a double by Doty, knocking the ball into deep center field. At this juncture of the game, Coach Bill Sorsbv substituted Swengel for Manley, who hit a short Texas leaguer over second base scoring Mayfield with the frosh’s only run. Kuhn started a rally in the ninth hitting a nice one out into right field but this was short lived, for the next man struck out, followed by two more quick outs. Infield Iiacks Pep Mayfield and Edwards in the field played a good game. The in field worked fairly well but lacked the pep and punch to win ball games. Much credit for the babes showing can be given to Baker, pitcher. The big weakness of the frosh in yesterday’s game was with the willow. They not only failed to hit in the pinches, but through out the entire game.

ARMORY PROM SCENE TONIGHT Decorations Carry Out Air Of Medieval France In Reign of King Louis XI LIST OF PATRONS GIVEN Orchestra to Have Costumes In Color and Style like Those of 15th Century The interior of the Armory re sembles a large hall such as would be found in French chauteaus dur ing the reign of Louis XI, so care fully has each detail been worked out in the planning of the Junior Prom, the closing event of Junior Week-end, which will be held in the Armory tonight. The stage, in front of which has been erected a triforium of Gothic arches, resembles a huge recess just off from the large hall, similar to the one of the Duke of Burgundy. Decorations are Described Completely surrounding the gal lery is a rich arcade which forms a decorative feature. On either end of the balcony, the night with a blue sky dotted with stars, will be seen, giving atmosphere to the dance. The spectators will witness the prom through the arches of the* arcade facing the stage on which the feature will be presented. The orchestra, attired in cos tumes authentic in color and style to those worn during the fifteenth century, will play on a two-leveel pavilion, especially constructed in order to make the music heard equally well from all parts of the hall. The pavilion has been mod elled after those which were used at the tourneys of the period. The punch booths were construc ted on similar lines; and girls, dressed in costumes like those worn by the wives of French peasants of the fifteenth century, will serve the punch which was made after a famous French recipe. It will have a taste similar to the best French wine obtainable during the reign (Continued on page four) MIHTAR BOARD ELECTS SEVEN TO MEMBERSHIP Mortar Board, national honorary organization for senior women, pledged seven members yesterday during the luncheon hour.

The squad of freshmen who had received numerals in football as sembled at the Co-op corner at 8:15 yesterday morning. According to tradition, no ties were to be worn and one trouser leg was rolled. Escorted by the members of the Order of the “O”, they marched to Skinner’s Butte where they painted the concrete “O” a bright yellew. The Order of the “O” men, armed with paddles, supervised the paint ing. Frosh Lose Tug-o-War Immediately following their re turn, the annual tug-o-war between the freshman and sophomore classes took place at the mill race by the railroad bridge, where Kincaid street intersects Franklin boule vard. The senior men and letter men were referees; and after both teams had been ordered to fall in line, the signal to “pull” was given. The freshmen were forced to cross the race and receive their tradition al ducking. The crowd then moved tp Kin caid field where the burning of the green caps of the freshmen was held. All of the first year men, wet from their ducking in the race, marched to Kincaid field where they were compelled to form a single line. The senior men and let termen formed a double row on either side of the bonfire, and the freshmen, holding both hands high in the air, were forced to run the gauntlet. As each freshman passed the fire, he tossed his cap into the blaze. One freshman, while he took his share smilingly with the rest of the members of his class, remarked that he did not know what he had done “to warrant whacks with such a vengeance.” Campus Luncheon Served From 11:30 until 1:30, the cam pus luncheon was served under neath the trees by Deady hall. The members of the faculty, as well as the student body, attended the luncheon. During the noon hour, the Pi-id Pipers orchestra played.

The game is scheduled for 4:30, immediately following the track meet on Hayward field. The Beta Theta Pi nine will tangle with the aggregation of Phi Gamma Delta players in this torrid contest. Both teams have unmer cifully clubbed their opposing pitchers until they remain the only undefeated nines in the intra-mural league. If past games count for anything this tilt will be one of the closest, hardest fought and superbly played baseball contests ever in dulged in by any two organizations on this or any other campus. The playing and pitching of these two teams in these past games has been scored victories which they gar nered from their victims stand alone in showing the hitting ability of the men behind the hurlers. Rumor has it that both teams will have at least seven men doing field and base duty and in case of emergency will do their utmost in trying to stop infield bunts and prospective home runs. In case of need the Beta’s state that they have one substitute who can take the place of any regular and do just as good as the first string player. The Fiji’s expect to play straight through with the first nine men. Bush league umpires and scorers will be furnished by the department of physical education and it is stated that the whole department will stand behind the ruling of the amps.
