Boxing Bouts, Cock Fighting Bring Thrills Multnomah Club Fencers Win at Smoker From Oregon Swordsmen Abramson—Malcolm Tilt Lacks in Gore The men’s smoker held Saturday night resulted in a wide variety of entertainment, ranging from fenc ing to a burlesque boxing match, and including cock fights, horse and rider contest, and some fast box ing exhibitions. In the curtain raiser, the Mult nomah fencing team earned a double victory over Oregon representatives by winning in bouts, 5 to 4, and in points, 36 to 32. Cuts, touches, par ries and thrusts came thick and fast on both sides, and the result wa*S) in doubt until the final encounter. The men in the iron masks for Oregon were Buchanan, Wilhelm and Oaley. The club line-up included L. Pcs znecker and Isherwood. Three Rounds Torrid Irving Pelz of Oregon drew with Ole Hanson of O. A. C. in the head line boxing event. These boys went at it hammer and tongs throughout three torrid rounds' and got a big hand from the crowd for their ef forts. Hanson out-boxed Pelz in the opening stanza, landing a hard right that staggered the Oregon man just before the whittle, but the lat ter came back strong in the two remaining chukkers and milled his way to a draw by a two handed at tack to his opponent’s body. The highly advertised Abramson Malcolm contest was somewhat of a dud as no gore was spilt and no stretchers were needed. One Round Sol, armed with a typewriter, en tered the arena and typed some scathing righst and lefts to Mal colm ’s vital spots, but desisted when a baseball bat found its way into the president’s corner. The round ended with tho boys in a fond embrace, after having dono their boxing with a hammer and nails. Quartet wins Applause Tex Nowby and Frank Buchter drew in the opening fistic contests, and were followed by A1 Smith, Paul Peek, Ted Larsen and Fred West, who dispensed harmony to the delight of all assembled. Mel Green and Beldon Babb slugged their way through a spirit ed bout foaturod by a knockdown apiece and Morrie Collings took a clean cut decision from Bill Bamber, having his opponent on queer street in the second canto. Charley Daw son, former Oregon boxing instruct or, refereed all the matches. Battle Royals O. K. The battle royals afforded the most action of the evening. In the first, Ray Jo0t and Merrill Hagan, Dolts, hammered their way to a slashing victory "over Mervyn Bolin ke and Art Hamilton, Sigma Nu’s. Behnke was the first to hit the floor, and when .Tost and Hagan combined to pummel Hamilton, ar biter Muntz mercifully called a halt. Roily Wilson and Ted Pope, A. T.O.took two out of three knock down and drag-outs from Street and Winters, a fighting duo of game cocks from Sigma Chi house in the second encounter. The heavyweight match between Trving Flegol and George Burnell, of the Betas, and Tony Greer and Carl Klippel, Kappa Sigs, furnished ■enough excitement and action to please the most exacting. The Kap pa Kigw took all three rounds, but the platform was extended to stop the big boys as they crushed to the canvas. McCulloch wins Cup Ttalpli McCulloch, A. T. 0„ took the cock fighting championship ami the accompanying silver cup by downing Clal DeMott, Sigma Nu, in u challenge match after he had sur vived the eliminations. The Beta team composed of Jack Jones and Jerry Gunther won the horse and jockey competition, successfully downing all opposition. The smoker was greeted by a large attendance, and those in charge p’in to make it an annual affair. Frank Riggs, promoting the box ing matches, lined up an excellent card on short notice.

The committee reconvened a high tuition for out-state undergrad uate students. The committee adopted a number of resolutions expressing its appreci ation of being permitted such close contact with the University’s im mediate problems, of the assistance and co-operation of the faculty, and the entertainment accorded it, and the co-operation of the University in setting the coming Semi-Centen nial celebration in conjunction with Homecoming at the wish of the al umni. Visit Held Valuable “The visit of this committee really starts something interesting and worth while, for it brings into close contact a disinterested body of peo ple who are yet greatly interested in the welfare of the University,” declared Jeanette Calkins, secretary of the alumni and of the visiting committee. F. Harold Young, presi dent of the association, also ex presses himself as greatly pleased with the venture and its success. Committee Members Listed Members of this year’s commit tee were: Mrs Charles W. Robison, of Astoria, representing the alum ni from western Oregon; Henry N. Fowler, Bend, as the member from eastern Oregon; Dean Alfred Pow ers of the Portland Extension di vision as a faculty representative; Vernon Vawter, who was away on business had been appointed from Multnomah county, but Fred Fisk, member of the board of regents, served in his place and F. Harold Young, ex-officio member by virtue of his presidency of the alumni asso ciation. While on the campus the commit tee held conferences with some of the most prominent students, was host to the deans of schools at Ho tel Osborn, dined with a number of the faculty members at Hendricks hall and attended assembly. Frolic (Continued from page one) Two composing that 'old race horse, Spark Plug, gave the cops under An nette Heckman a merry chase down into the dressing rooms of the gym nasium. Another pair tried with silver to wheedle Mildred Onslow, who wore the balge of the chief of police of Eugene, into letting them stay for the performance. The judges, Mrs. Tsterly, Mrs. George Gerlinger, Miss Gertrude Talbot and Miss Maude Kerns, were the kids of the party with their knee socks and riohjns in their hai.\ Although all the mon»y from the door receipts and sale of Dixies has not been turned in, Annette Heck man, treasurer of Women’s League, estimated the amount realized from the affair at $275. This money will be applied to the foreign scholar ship fund of the League. Government (Continued from page one) ty of private investments, while ex pressing honeyed words on the sanc tity of Haitian independence and our moral obligations to the Hai tian people is a piece of sheer hypo crisy unworthy of the American nation and calculated to lower still farther American prestige among the Lntin-American states. That such conditions exist is generally unknown to the American people, due to the press censorship in Hai ti, the unwillingness of the Senate to listen to appeals, such as a paper from a prominent Haitian citizen presented by Senator King a few weeks ago, and the official attitude of the government, which, in answer to criticisms, (mints to the official reports of General Russell, who is of course a government, official and concerned with the justification of acts during his reginre. Thus are the blessings of Ameri can democracy distributed among our unwilling neighbors.

KYNE’S “THE ENCHANTED HILL” Latest Novel of West ern Action, Adventure and Romance. With JACK HOLT FLORENCE VIDOR NOAH BEERY MARY BRIAN COMEDY “Raisin’ Cain” IT’S GOOD AND FUNNY Regular Prices Me Donald I Freshmen Commence Practice for Baseball First call for freshman baseball practice was_ issued yesterday by Harry Ellinger, frosh baseball coach. The first practice is to be held on the new freshman field which is located just behind the varsity field. It has just been completed and should be in good condition as soon as the ground settles. Practice will be held there every afternoon at 3:30. Coach Ellinger and Don Park, major in the school of physical edu cation, will direct the practice. Until yesterday about thirty men had registered for frosh baseball ond others are expected to turn out for the practice today. There is plenty of room for competition for the positions on the team. The schedule of games to be played is being arranged. Games are to be played with the varsity, the Rooks and probably some other outside teams. Classes to Nominate May 10, Elect May 13 At a meeting of the various class presidents and some of the class ad visors held in Dean H. Walker’s of fice recently, it was decided to hold the class nominations 'of officers of the freshman, sophomore and junior classes on the same day, and hold the election on 'one day. This 'will avoid the confusion of three sep erate elections. The class nominations will be taken verbal on Tuesday, May 11; and the election will be by ballot on Thursday, May 13. The polls will be open from 10 to 2 'on * Thurs day in Villard hall. Secretaries Asked To Send Officer List Secretaries of clubs are asked to send in promptly a list of the new officers of their respective organiza tions, to facilitate the keeping of up-to-date records in the Dean of Women’s office, by Miss Georgia Benson, secretary to Dean Esterly. The constant change of officers of the various clubs, said Miss Benson, makes it very difficult to keep ac curate records in her office. HOW about 'a creamy waffle served with gtold en butter syrup, and a cup of piping-hot coffee? — Sure good. Electric Toastwich Shoppe (Colonial Theatre Bldg.)
