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

McCroskey and McGuire
Win Oratorical Honors

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.

BETAS UNDEFEATED
IN HOUSE BASEBALL
Doughnut Tennis Finals to
Se Played. 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.

English Head Speaks
The Oregon Alpha chapter of Phi J
Beta Kappa was installed on the
campus, April 14, 1923. In 1920 a
group of faculty members and stu
dents organized the University
Honor society, which was instru
mental in bringing the national or
ganization to the University. This
will be the fodrth group to be in
itiated since installation. Forty
four faculty members are in the
organization.
John F. P. Tatlock, head of the
English department at Stanford
university, will be the speaker at
the initiation ceremonies. This is
Mr. Tatlock’s first appearance on
the Oregon campus. He is an inter
esting speaker, according, to Pro

histoTv department. Mr. Tatlock
has accepted a position at Harvard
university, for next year.
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.

EXCELLENT CHARACTERIZATION
MARKS ‘SO THIS IS LONDON’
By Paul Krausse
A year in London, a year in New
j York—tliis is the previous run of
| “So This Ts London” which played
to a receptive Eugene audience last
night at the TTeilig. 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. ,
