Officers “ Show "All Round99 Ability Needed Survey of Grades Goes Back Three Years; Many Were Members of Honoraries By MARION STEN Now that elections are over, and politicians are beginning to be their normal selves, one has time to turn his attention away from the glow ing records o.f this year’s candi dates to those tf>f the past, and to discover what the general require ments are to hold a student body position. The records cf the 15 persons who have held the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, editor of the Emerald and editor of the Ore gana during the past three years demonstrate the fact that the stu dents must, have “all ’round” abil ity. A glance over the grade rec ords in the registrar’s (Office is sufficient proof that in scholarship, all holders of these student body positions have either average or j above average grades. Three of the six women who held positions dur ing this period, were elected to Mortar Board, which necessitates a grade average of two point nine. Friars, elected all nine of the men. Claude Robinson, [president of 1924, had the best scholastic record of the three years, all of his grades being either ones or twos. Robin son -was a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, national commerce fraternity, and Tau Kappa Alpha, national for ensic fraternity. John MacGregor, president in ’23, was also a mem ber of Alpha Kappa Psi. His grades were well above average. Bandall Jones, 1925 president, was a mem ber of Phd Delta Phi, national law fraternity. All three vice-presidents, Owen Callaway, Frank Carter, and Victor Eisley, made good grade averages. Callaway was a member of Seta Gamma Sigma, commerce honorary scholarship fraternity, and Carter of Alpha Kappa Psi. The three secretaries were mem bers of Kwama. Margaret Jack son, ’23, belonged to Eutaxian lit erary society and Scroll and Script. Marcella Berry, ’24, was a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Euth Akers, ’25, was elected to Mortar Board and Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s mu sical fraternity. Kenneth Youel, Arthur Eudd, and Donald "Woodward, editors of the Emerald during the three years, were members of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national journalistic. Youel and Eudd are To-Ko-Los. ✓ The Oregana editors during this, time were Velma Farnham, Freda Goodrich, and Augusta DeWitt. Vel ma Farnham and Freda Goodrich were both members of Mortar Board, and Theta Sigma Phi, wom en’s national honorary journalistic fraternity. Velma Farnham was a Kwama, and Freda Goodrich a mem ber of Sigmla Delta Pi. Betas Vanquish Sigma Nu Players In Thrilling Play Lambert, Kretzer Pitch Good Game, But Errors Are Numerous In a game full of errors and thrilling rallies, the Betas defeated the Sigma Nus yesterday afternoon on the frosh field to the tune of 12 to 6, marking the second game to be played in the second round of intra-mural baseball. Lambert was the speedball artist for the Betas, whiffing five men while Scotty Kretzer held the mound for the Sigma Nus, and suc ceeded in retiring six of the oppo sition. Adams, of the Betamen, was the star apple-punisher, making four hits in four trips to the plate, and at one time scoring two men on a hot single between first and sec ond. Jerry Gunther proved that basketball was not his only forte, when he smacked out a hot three bagger, and turned the tide in the favor of the Betas. Carl (Kewpie) Dahl looked good in the field for the Sigma Nu men, while Kretzer and Hodgen were the chief opponents of the Beta moundsman. The psychological effect of root ing was shown when the Betas, after the Sigma Nus had amassed four runs in the first inning, were urged on by their rooters with cries of, “Haba! liaba!” “Get hot in there,” and “Let’s go!” and forg ed ahead. There were a great many errors on each side, which added to the amount of runs chalked up. Following is a summary of runs, hits and errors: E H E Betas ..12 8 7 Sigma Nus . 6 8 7 Bob Mautz acted as umpire.

Rooks Defeat OregonFrosh Baseball Nine Invaders Steal First Game Of Series by Score Of 19 to 7 Arthur Schoelii Pitches Game for Eight Innings Loss of Meet Due to Wild Throws of Hurlers By DICK STRING In what started out to be a south paw’s battle, the Oregon freshman baseball nine were defeated 19 to 7 by the invading Oregon Agricultural college Rook team yesterday after noon in the first game of the series. The local freshman team booted the ball frequently, making 12 errors during the nine cantos. “Lefty” Art Schoeni started on the hill for the freshman babes and pitched good ball save for his one bad inning in the sixth. Schoeni pitched good enough ball to win an ordinary ball game but his poor sup port caused his downfalls. He was relieved by Enke at the beginning of the ninth. Up to this time he had allowed 11 hits, struck out 7 men and issued only two free passes. Emmons Relieves Enke Enke got off to a bad start and before his departure from the box allowed five hits, and issued two bases on balls for a total of 7 runs. Emmons relieved Enke and had little trouble in returning the side. Lefty Hudson, rook flinger, was wilder than a March hare. During his one-inning stay in the box he al lowed two hits, hit two men and is sued two walks for a total of four runs. At this juncture Keene, rook coach, sent him to the showers in favor of Owens, right hander. From that time on Oregon’s chances to score were very slim as he only allowed 7 well-scattered blows. Frosh Score in Half of First The lemon-yellow yearling nine scored in their half of the first when Greene, first man up, got hit. Johnson came through with a hit and Ridings batting third got hit. With bases loaded Cotter Gould came to bat and came through with a nice bingle that dropped in short left field, scoring Greene and John son. Jamison, next up, sacrificed and brought in Ridings. Gould scored on a wild pitch. Oregon's next score came in the seventh inning. With two down Cotter Gould drove out a four-ply swat. A couple of hits and a walk scored twro more in the eighth. Rooks Score Four Runs The orange and black babes scor ed four runs in the second, five in the sixth, three in the seventh and seven in the . fatal ninth inning. The Aggie rooks have some very good looking ball players. They all seem to be strong with the willow driving out 16 hits. Bouton at short patch showed class in fielding and with his peg to first. Maple behind the mask is very fast for a big man and has a lightning-like throw to second. Hitting honors for the Rooks seem to be evenly divided between Cloni iger, second base man, and Pflauin, left fielder. Both men secured four safe blows out of six trips to the plate. Gould Makes Three Blows For the Oregon freshmen Gould scintillated with the stick, getting (Continued on page fow) R.O.T.C.

Instruction in the use and | firing of the pistol will be given first and will be followed by rifle work. The freshmen will be in structed on the rifle range east of Eugene.

Magazine Accepts Story Of Journalism Student A 600-word story of a 13 year old dog team racer of McCall, Idaho, written by Paul Tracy, junior in journalism, for class work in the Specialized Press ha's been sold to the “American Bov,” which is printed in Detroit, Michigan. The story is about Warren Brown, the young racer, who came out second in the Ashton race, the big event of the year, in which all the lending dog team racers enter their teams. It is second only to the Alaskan Sweep Stakes, the race between Nome and Candle. Previous to this the young driver had placed first in a McCall race, winning $300. He received $600 in the Ashton race. The lad has unusual talent in training dogs and for a boy of his age, has accomplished a remarkably feat to win against older and ex perienced drivers. One picture was sent with the story and the magazine has sent for another.

Juniors to Serve Fruit Salad; Ham, Buns, Ice Cream Committee Promises Royal Campus Luncheon The menu for this year’s campus luncheon and the committees for serving have been worked out com pletely, according to committees in charge of the affair. The menu will be fruit salad, baked ham, escal loped potatoes, buns, coffee, relishes, and Dixie ice cream cups. Accord ing to Doris Bropliy, chairman, tho luncheon will bo exceptionally good this year because of the fact that there is considerable more money to be expended than before. Edgar (Doc) Wriglitman is as sistant chairman, Frances Bourhill has charge of all the servers, and Edith Shell, Alice Doreman, Harriet Boss, Delia Sherwood, and Audry Lundy are in charge of the five tables. This is the first time that five tables have been used for a campus luncheon, formerly four were sufficient. The committee ex pects to servo about 2,500 people. If the weather permits the lunch eon will be hold under tho trees be hind Deady hall, but if it rains, it will be held at the men’s gymnas ium. Music will be provided by the Oregon Aggravators.

Dwight Kir cher and A1 Hunter, star freshman sprinters and Clark Price in the quarter mile were declared inelig ible yesterday by the registrar. A slight technicality is all that ia keeping Kircher on the ineligible list and there is a possibility that it will be removed by next week. Kircher and Hunter were counted on to take several points in the sprints. Mark Sanderson, star weight man, who was reported aa being ineligible has rechecked his record with the business office and was found to bo all right. Sander son is entered in the shot put and discus. Speed Burnell will replace Kir cher in the 100-yard dash and Ord will replace Hunter in the 100 and 220-yard and relay. Coach Spike Leslie has not decided just who his fourth man in the relay will be. Scott, Ord and Burnell are entered so far. Scott should lead the field in the hundred and 220, althongh Cameron of Corvallis and Duffield of Jefferson are unusually good high school runners. Joe Standard, Jack Jones and Coates should make their share of points in the quarter mile. McKitrick will have a tough job on bis hands to beat Bradshaw of Corvallis, who has the reputation of being one of the best half milers in the valley. Little, Jensen and Hill should all take places in the mile. None of the high school run ners entered have ever been able to equal Little’s time so far. Crawford, Boyden, and McCulloeb should be able to take care of the high jump in good shape. In the broad jump Ord, McGee and Foster will have to do their best as all of the high schools entering are bring ing along some good broad jumpers. Sanderson, Stager and Byington will easily take care of the shot put and the discus, that is, providing some “dark horse” does not come along and upset the dope. Foster, Jackson and Crawford are entered, in the high hurdles and Foster and McGee are entered in the lows. Speed Burnell is the only Frosh en try in the javelin, but this should be plenty as Speed has been fling ing it far and wide in practice this week. The coach will probably not enter anyone in the pole vault as Kircher was his only entry. So far he lias not been able to un cover any pole vaulters among the rest of the babes, who have been turning out for track regularly. Due to the fact that there will l be so many entries in some of the events the time has been changed to 1:30. All officials are asked to bo out on the track early so as there will be no delay in getting the meet | started. Heats will be run in the 100, 220 and in the hurdles. The I list of officials for the meet today (Continued on page four) L. F. Henderson9 Curator of Botany Museum, Brings Choice Plants After spending two months in southern Oregon and the boundary if California collecting specimens >f every typo of wild plant life both familiar and those not seen before, Dr. L. F. Henderson, cura tor of the botanical museum at the University, has returned to the cam pus with quantities of spoils which :ie will identify and prepare for ex libtition in the display cases in j Deady hall. Active and enthusiastic about his , favorite work, Dr. Henderson is i ikeptical about the interest of Ore- | ion students in the wild plants of j the state. In view of this he ex pressed th eopinion that it wouldn’t be necessary to go into detail about my of the specimens he secured. With careful, almost tender, pre jiseness, the botanist proceeded to place his pressed flowers between heavy sheets of paper in a pile in. preparation for pressing while he talked aI?out his trip. Log Cabin hotel at Selina on the Redwood highway was Dr. Hender son’s headquarters for a month and a half. “*In many respects it is one of the most beautiful hotels in the country. It is well kept, up-to-date and well patronized,” he said in praising the place. From here he went out on stages in both direc tions, towards Grants Pass or Cali fornia. Leaving the highway at in tervals the scientist hiked through the mountains and woods collecting material as he went. Across the Illinois' river in Curry county Dr. Henderson visited Mr. and Mrs. J.
