t vnnsiTnciinES VICTIM MEET Oregon Wins First Track Contest in Six Years From Corvallis School SPRINTERS SHOW SPEED Chick Rosenburg High Point Man With Eleven; Walt Kelsey Stars in Hurdles It was the first time in six years that Oregon scored a victory in track against their ancient rivals, the Aggies when last Saturday af ternoon the varsity scored a clean win by 69% to 61% points. It was a meet crammed full of fine run ning, and close thrilling finishes. The score wavered from team to team. And until the final relay the meet was undecided. The Oregon team showed up ex ceptionally strong in the short dis tances. The trio of sprinters, Jerry Extra, Proc Flannigan and I. Wes terinan ran true to dope in last Saturday’s meet by taking three places in the century and two in the furlong. In the conference meet next Saturday at Seattle they prom ise to show up well. Extra, stepped { out in front of - his team mates in ; the 100 and won in the fast time! of ten seconds. Price Wins 440 The 440, the feature race of the afternoon, was hotly contested. Earnhart, the Aggie runner, took the lead at the first but was passed by Jim Kinney. Joe Price came up with his strong final sprint and won by the fast time of 51 seconds. Walt Kelsey, varsity hurdler, ran under a great handicap Saturday when he won the low hurdles and placed second in the high hurdles. After four days in the infirmary with an attack of influenza he took one light workout and then entered theh meet. His showing was truly remarkable. Chick Rosenburg, captain of the team, was 1 high point man of the meet with eleven points. Ifosen burg won the pole vault and took second in the broad ;iump and nave-: lin. Rosenburg was nosed out of a first in the spear throw by Eilert son of O. A. C. who made a throw of 188 feet, 3 inches, the farthest he ever threw it in his life. The Aggies showed unexpected strength in the javelin. Aggies Win Distance Runs Somp excellent distance races were run by the Aggie star dis tance men. The mile was won by Clayton in the fast time of 4 min utes and 6 seconds. The two-mile was won by Keech in 9 minutes and 46 and .6 seconds. They placed all three men in the half mile, mile and two-mile. Bill Hayward was pleased with meet—highly pleased. He wore the first smile that he has felt like wearing for some time this season. He met with handicaps and set backs on every side and his squad was almost wrecked at the begin (Continneft on pnqe fmr) McCroskey and McGuire Win Oratorical Honors f * 1 Oregon Man To Enter National Meet In Los Angeles Two freshmen, Benoit McCroskey and Jack P. McGuire, have termin ated the debate season by bringing Oregon honors in two oratorical contests. McCroskey won the ■Northwestern Tri-State Oratorical contest at Seattle, Friday evening, with the unanimous vote of the three judges and McGuire placed in the finals of the National Oratori cal Constitutional contest in a meet against eight other states of the Pacific region in Palo »Alto the same night. Jack McGuire will represent the Pacific region in the finals of this nation wide contest for colleges and universities which will be held Juhe "o. Six other sections of the coun try will be represented at this time in Los Angeles. Seven prizes are given to the contestants so each will receive some reward. The plan id sponsored by the Better Ameri ca Federation of California and the prizes are given by them. They are: first, $2,000; second, $1,000; third, $500; fourth', $450; fifth, $400; sixth, $350; seventh, $300. The speeches for this contest were limited to some phase of the national constitution and Mc Guire’s, “The Constitution,” was selected in Washington, I>. C., as one of the seven best submitted by the Pacific region. The • other chosen manuscripts from which he won the coast championship last Friday were the University of Washington, the University of Ida ho, California, Southern California, Loyola college and Redlands col lege. Mr. Oscar Brown, x>f the debate staff, says that McGuire has re sumed training on his oration and he is confident that he will bring back to Oregon the highest honor that can be brought in the Scollegi ate speaking world. ■McCroskey won the Tri-state Oratorical contest in Seattle, Fri day, against the Universities of Washington and Idaho with his ora tion “The Last Mile Stone” with which he previously won the state peace contest, and which he broad casted from the Oregonian last week. The'speecli dealt with a con structive plan for the possible at tainment of peace. It is unusual for a freshman to win this contest, said Mr. Brown, especially with the score that the decision gave this time. The three judges of thought and composition, and those of the mode of delivery all gave first place to Oregon’s speaker. The prize which last year was won by Washington is $100. * The winning of these two con tests and placing in the national constitutional contest is a fitting conclusion to the debate,year. Ore gon has this year, besides, won the state title in the peace orations, the Northwestern debate, the radio debate with Stanford, the Oxford debate, and tied in the debate with O. A. C.

This Week Beta Theta Pi holds the honor of having the only undefeated or ganized baseball team on the cam pus. This distinction came to them last Saturday afternoon when an aggregation of ball players and hitters, with the Atellar pitching of Eldon Lambert, snowed under the nine from Phi Gamma Delta by a 9 to 3 count. The Fijiers held a one run lead until the third inning and a close score game .looked promising. But immediately following the retiring of the Fiji’s in the fourth, the Beta hit collectors started slamming the ! ball out of the lot and began count ing runs. Tlie Beta’s held a three run lead when Beldon Babb put the game on ice by poling out a single with the ba^e^ loaded, this little hit which counted so m^fc, giving the cham pions a commanding lead which they held until the final round. Lambert and Reynold^ worked on the batters for the Beta’s, and Flynn and Talbot tried to retalli ate for the Fiji’s. This week will see the finals of the^doughnut tennis schedule pro viding the various teams will clash on schedule time. Phi Delta Theta and’ Sigma Pi Tau are billed for the first semi-final round to be played this afternoon. Chi Psi and Phi Gamma Delta are scheduled to tangle Wednesday in the second semi-final clash. The winners of these matches will unite Friday af ternoon and when the last serve has covered the required distance the winner will be declared the unpar alled champions of the intra-mura*! doughnut tennis tournament. ETCHING PRESS GIVEN BY JOHN HENRY NASH, An etching press presented by John Henry Nash, of San Fran cisco, was received by the arts de partment this week. The press, ac cording to Richard Carruthers, of the art school, is for the purpose of taking proofs of etching work. It has been set up, he said, but no samples of work have been done on it. When attending the state "editor ial conference on the camjtus last March, Mr. Nash was impressed with the etching work done by Carruthers, who had fashioned a press from second hand materials, and was producing etchings. O— i Doughnut tennis schedule for ! this week, final round: Today—Phi Delta Theta vs. Sigma Pi Tau, 5 o’clock. Wednesday—CHi Psi vs. Phi | Gamma Delta, 5 o’clock.

RESERVE BOOKS MOVED TO SCIENCE BIDING Department Now Located on Second Floor of Hall From four to five thousand books in the reserve section of the Uni versity library were moved from the library building to the second floor of Condon hall, the now sci ence building, between ten and four last Saturday. The books were car ried in trays on large carts by the staff of the library and some of the University gardeners. There are 210 individual desks in the new situation and the stu dents are much mss crowded than they have been. The room is also very light and well ventilated. The staff appreciates the change and the students see.m to enjoy it, says Mr. Douglas, librarian. The reserve section has moved so completely that it has even taken its old clock with it to be used until a new one shall be provided. T*”* old reserve section of the regular library will be opened in a very few days a* a study room for those who wish to study but do not use reserve books. Tt is hoped that this plan will receive the usual overcrowding of the library before examinations.

And during that time, the play has probably done much in enlightening the di verse opinions of steadfast Ameri cans and stocky-minded Britishers as to the respective character and !.disposition of those two peoples. If one went to the play to find | the true English atmosphere in ! speech and ibanner, no disappoint ment was forthcoming for there were sufficient “Ah you tbeahs,” “Eightos” and “Old deahs” to keep the production moving steadily to an interesting and amusing climax. It was a decided privilege to wit j ness the acting of Mr. Lawrence , D’Orsay as Sir Percy Beauchamp I the manufacturer of the best known English boots, f whose prejudice I against the Americans in general j humorous situations in the play, i His daughter, Eleanor, played by formed the nucleus.of most of the ; Miss Eunice Hunt, a bright young I ingenue, unfortunately falls in love with an American youth, Hiram Draper, Jr., whose father is the manufacturer of one of the best known American boots. Hiram, 8r., has his own ideas about the English and expresses them fluently. Mr. Hlal Davis handles tho role of the “typical” American rather well but a trifle exaggerated. However the exaggeration is not offensive when most of his lines are characterized by such remarks as “These fellows don't speak our language.” Mr. D’Orsay’s portrayal of the knighted Englishman is excellent. His characterization is by far the most attractive thing in the show and few, who saw the play, will forget his walk, by itself an ac complishment which provokes a flattering amount of mirth. Al though Mr. D’Orsay has not lived in England for nearly twenty years, he retains the vivid role of the Englishman as the 'American be lieves him to be, and he accomp lishes his purpose so well that it is not difficult to believe all the stronger what we have already been taught to believe. So this waa London. ,
