Sophs Next, Frosh third In
Motor Ability Test
UNIFORM WORK AIDED
System Used First Time;
Eight Rank Perfect
The final scores for the motor
ability tests, which were taken by
all freshman and sophomore women
and physical education majors have
been computed. The sophomores
rank slightly higher than the fresh
men, while the majors rank higher
than either. Out of a possible
score of three, the freshmen and
sophomores scored on the average
one p(oint, the underclass majors
two points, and the junior majors
three points.
A comparison was made with the
entrance physical examination test,
which divided students into A and
B groups, the A group being the
higher. Students who stored A in
this entrance examination, scored
higher in the motor ability test
than those in the B group.
Uniform Work Aided
The motor ability test was intro
duced on the Oregon campus by
Miss E. P. Waterman, assistant pro
fessor of physical education. Miss
Waterman spent last year at Welle
sley, where this system was used.
The test helps to divide girls into
squads in their gymnastic work, so
there will be uniform development
and progress. Students who score
highest out of each' class are ap
pointed squad leaders and help in
structors in apparatus work.
The test consists of four divi
sions, and it is possible to score
three points from each of these, 12
being a perfect score. The first
division is running for time, and it
is necessary to run at least 75 yards
to make three points. Three points
are scored in the broad jump, by
a jump of at least five feet eleven
inches.
The vaulting test consists of
four booms, all of which must be
cleared in order to score three. The

K. Kressman In ’Frisco
“The Athlete,” written by Kath
arine Kressman, who is now in San
Francisco doing literary criticism
and verse, is a tragedy. The scene
takes place in the durtainod tent
af Celertis, by the field where the
athletic games are going on. The
aharacters taking part are: Menes,
lurler of the discus; Pilus, thrower
)f the javelin; Celertis, an athlete;
and Xora, rubber for Celertis.
The plot of the play is woveu
around the athlete, and it is to the
athlete that wins the race that the
land of the daughter of the king
s to be given. Celertis wins the
•ace, and Xora is very jealous, with
;he jealousy of youth over age. He
alans to poison Celertis, and in the
and drinks the poison potion him

White-Footed Mice, Victims
Of Student Trappers
Effect of Climate on Rodent
Studied by Zoologists
s Long-tailed, white-footed, taupc
skinnCd field niice are being caught
in Eugene just across the mill race
near the University campus, by
students of the zoology department,
who are making a study of the re
lation of environment to physical
characteristics.
Mice from different parts of the
country have been collected in or
der to get a great many varieties
to compare. The local field mice
are plentiful, as many as 22 being
captured one night in 10 traps. The
traps used are baited usually with
rolled oats or wheat grains, and
hold the animals without killing
them. Ralph Edmisten, senior in
the department, who is making a
special problem study of mice, is
the chief trapper.
Ernest Thompson Seton, artist
naturalist, contends that a species
of animals coming from a larger
continent or territory to a smaller
will drive out the species occupying
the smaller. Dr. Huestis explains
that, inasmuch as house mice came
to America from Europe and still
prowl in dwellings instead of in
vading the fields and attempting
to extinguish the natives there, this
rule does not hold in all cases.
Every locality somewhat isolated
has a little different type of mice
from other neighboring localities.
Mice on one side of a driver may
have shorter tails than those pro
duced on the opposite side.
If the isolation is combined with
considerable differences in sur
roundings and weather conditions,
the variations in size and color are
more pronounced. Eastern Oregon
mice are light tan because of the
dry climate.
Several specimens have been ob
tained from the coast regions. Some
of these have tails that are six
inches long and bodies two inches
shorter. Others have Jong bodies
and short tails.

ja great game of football in the arm

making up for it by the reckless

Volume 4 SATURDAY A. M.
NUMBER 9
Great Scarcity of Muzzles
“Is the University all out of
muzzles?” Obak has taken this quo
tation from the Eugeno Daily
Guard. It appeared in one of the
SEVEN SNEERS FOR THE
SEVEN SEERS
It’s tough on II. L. Monch
ken, America’s bad boy, that
he doesn’t know the “sneers”
are functioning. He’d have
as much chance in comparison
with them as the traditional
snowball in hell.
Wo recommend that the
Seven Seers bo given the “Or
der of the Asses Jawbone.”
There’s a striking similarity.
The antique wit is the per
petual rehash. Aristophanes
would turn over in his marble
grave if he knew they wore
plagarizing from his stuff.
3000 years ago greasy greeks
were slapping backs to the
strain of the old wheezes.
* » •
It’s seldom that you see
such a large cluster. The
“Seers” write like the pro
verbial look of an intoxicated
individual.
They feel qualfied to med
dle, grandeloqucntly, in the
affairs of the campus like the
editor. His brainchild is
staggering along in his foot
steps—they could never roach,
however, the humor of the edi
torial column.
editorials published in that paper
with reference to the right Honor
able Glen E. Hoover, who took the
privilege of writing to a Portland
paper of their ignorance or indif
ference to the economic truths.
So far as Obak’s Crier is con
cerned no one can accuse the paper
of any such conduct as ho charged.
Nor have wo observed any such
“flaying” in any of the other papers
published in this vicinity.
There’s lots of muzzle,s about tho
University, the only trouble is,
arc they properly used ?
OBAKS MOURNS
Obaks extends its sineerest sym
pathies to the flunking 90 who
have lately been with us. They
were a dear old gang who meant np
harm to any one but since the se
vere faculty can not see fit to tol
erate their simple good natured and
blissful sedentary life we .must bid
them farewell. Obaks will always
remember them, however, and con
sider them as alumni just the same.
The spirit of Organization has
bitten them and these valiant souls
have organized under the name of
the “Limping Lions,” and have al
ready launched a movement which
if successful will enable them to re
turn next year.
