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. If that northerly

AGGIE TENNIS TEAMS
TO PLAY HEBE TODAY
In a double header, the Univer
sity of Oregon varsity and fresh
man tennis teams will meet the two
respective Oregon Aggie teams, on
the local courts at 9:30 thia morn
ing.
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. The thTee other men who will
make the Aggies bite the dust are:

SENIOR IN ARCHITECTURE PLANS
OPERA HOUSE FOR DREAM CITY
Spaciong parks, wide promenades
and bright fountains surrounded
the opera house of the town of Bou
Onn, the dream city of Fook Tai
Lau, who is a senior in the depart
ment of architecture. 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,

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

“GUIDE OF THE TIDE”
WINS FETE HONORS
VARSITY PLAYS
ON CAMPUS DAY
Sophomores Win Tug-o-war
Freshmen Re-paint “0”
Seniors Active Police
FROSH BURN GREEN UDS
The painting of the “O” Friday
morning was the first event of
Campus day, the beginning of the
second prepperless Junior week-end.
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.”

SECOND AWARD
Alpha Gamma Delta and
Sigma Pi Tau Owners
Of Prize Winning Float
MANY ATTEND CARNIVAL
By Geneva Foss
“Guide of the Tide,” by Alpha
Gamma Delta and Sigma Pi Tau,
was unanimously awarded first
place in the canoe fete held last
evening.
“Iduna, the Valkyre,” by Kappa
Kappa Gamma and Beta Theta Pi,
received second place; and third
was given to “The Barque of the
Caliph Haroun” which was entered
by Sigma Beta Phi and Sigma Al
pha Epsilon.
Special mention was given to
two other floats. “Nyuki-Angalia,”
entered by Alpha Omieron Pi and
Phi Delta Theta and “A Fisher
man’s Dream” by the girls from
Oregon club and Theta Chi re
ceived special mention because of
their originality.
“ Guide of the Tide” was a glit
tering sea shell drawn by three sea
horses. Within the shell, which
formed a boat, were three women.
Decision Is Unanimous
The judges were unanimous in
the decision for first place. An
average of the points for each float
was made individually by each
judge as the float passed down the
race. Following the fete, an aver
age was taken of the points listed
in favor of each float, and from
these averages the winners were
letermined.
The points on which the decisions
were made were as follows: con
ception which included the idea and
ts originality, and the expression
n relation to the setting. The sec
>nd point was composition, made
ip of three elements: Balance,
•hythm and harmony. The third

he special quality of all of the
'loats,” was the statement made
>y Miss Maude I. Kerns, of the art
lepartment, who was ‘ one of the
udges of the fete.
All of tho floats, according to
he judges, received more of a
pageant treatment than ever be
’ore. The floats were all appropri

FIJI-BETA MIX TODAY ENDS
DOUGHNUT BASEBALL SERIES
Husky Flynn and little Eldon
Lambert will form the opposing
hurling staff for the seven inning
final doughnut baseball game to
day. 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.
