Flanagan Hopes For New Record In Broad Jump Track Athletes Leave For Conference Meet At Palo Alto Upset of Scores Expected In Saturday Match BY HAROLD MANGTJM The Oregon track delegation pushed off for Palo Alto yesterday noon to attend the Pacific coast conference convention. A veritable card house of records is expected to come crumbling down about the par ticipating athletes’ ears. Coach Bill Hayward has his eyes on one record of Proctor Planagan, broad jumper, and is willing to bet a new suit, of clothes against a used theater ticket that Flanagan gives an exhibition of the proverbial cow jumping over the moon, or at the very least, betters his old record by a couple of inches. Athletic Heads Depart Jack Benefiel, Captain McEwan, and Virgil Earl headed south Mon day via the highway. Ken Stephen son and Webster Jones, sports edi tors of the Emerald accompanied the team. Palo Alto is the mecca this week that is attracting track followers from all over the coast. The present javelin record of Art Tuck, Oregon, which was hung up in 1921 alone appears safe from marauders as no one has shown ear marks of touching 192 feet, 4 inches, his best heave. There are at least two men on the coast capable of cutting the 100 yard dash record of :9.8 owned joint ly by Kirksey of Stanford and Hur ley of Washington. Sweet of Mon tana and Barber of California are the cinder burners with mercury spikes. Kirksey’s record of :21.6 in the 220 is also accessible to fast boys such as Barber and Sweet. Quarter-mile Mark in Danger Miller of Stanford has cracked | the 440 record of Hendrickson of California at :49.6 half a doze'n times in practice and minor meets. Three half-milcrs, Charteris of Washing ton, Boyden of California, and Rich ardson of Stanford, have ambitions of topping Ray Dodge’s 880 mark of 1:56.2 WilJe of Washington who j holds the mile record of 4:24.5 is again entered, but Schwobeda of: Southern California has been stop- j watched in 4:23.8 this spring. Do-j vine of Washington State has his eyes on the record of 9:37.5 held by Maginnis of Washington. De vine is rated the finest two mile i on the coast this year, but Magin nis’ time is considered fairly snug, owns the present low hurdle record of 15 flat. Dye of Southern Cali fornia has touched :14.6 this spring. Grumbles, a team mate of Dye, has a good chance of bettering the low hurdles mark of :24.4 set by Wells of Stanford in 1920. Barnes of Southern California is the native son hope in the polo vault. He has bettered the mark of .Tonne of Washington State at 13 feet, 5-8 inches several times. Proctor Flanagan is the lad whose job is cut out to beat his own coast record of 23 feet, 5.8 inches in the the broad jump. Work, of Stanford, high jumped 0 feet, 5 7-20 inches last year, and is on hand to better his leap. | jHouscr High in Weights Bud Houser, Southern California •captain, is the1 man picked to shat ter Hnrtranft’s marks in both the •discus and shot, while the Stanford .relay team is figured a cinch to bent its last year’s championship time. Ia the event that Proctor Plan-’ agan -equals or betters his present record in the broad jump, it is planned to enter him in the national intereollegiates in Chicago next month. His marks have been con sistently better both this year and Inst than the winning distances of the eastern performers. Professor U. C.

Zane Paints Panels for Elsinore New Salem Theater In the studio of Professor N. B. Zane, instructor in architecture, hang two immense decorative mural panels in the process of being paint ed. They are being made for the new Elsinore theatre in Salem, re cently designed and constructed by Lawrence and Holford, architects of Portland. One shows Borneo serenading Ju liet who, gowned in white, is listen ing from he balcony. Greens and grays are the predominating colors in the picture. A great amount of research was necessary before the painting was attempted to insure accuracy in every detail. The cos tumes for the models were procured from San Francisco. The other painting portrays the three witches from Macbeth grouped about the boiling caldron. The glow of the firelight reveals the hideous aspects of their faces and blue lights in the liquid itself suggests a poisonous quality. The atmosphere is filled with flitting bats. Poems By Aiislander, Essays by Machen Added to Rent Shelf “Cyclop’s Eye,” by Joseph Aus lander, author of “Sunrise Trum pets,” and “The London Adven ture,” an essay in wandering by Arthur Machen have been added to the rent shelf at the University library. “Cyclop’s Eye” is compared in the publisher’s notes with “Sun rise Trumpets,” the earlier book of Auslander, which was composed al most entirely of lyrics. The critic has added, “that there still remain ed the question whether this singer of lovely songs might not be limit ed in the scope of his ability, whe ther he was only a lyricist or could write poetry of rugged and sus tained power.” Y.M.

I Every scene with the exception of the modern war se Iquence was filmed on the actual location described by Zane Grey in his powerful story. Ten thousand Indians appear in the picture. Crews of Indians constructed roads across the desert where the wheels of wagons had never touched. Four thousand horses, 11,500 of them belonging to In dians, take an active part in the production. A town of thirty-six buildings including a large stone fort was erected near Yuba City, 80 miles from a rail road. Every sliver was taken there across the worst roads imaginable. Four months were spent in Arizona, 165 miles or more from tlu> nearest railroad. The highest temperature was 135 degrees. There was no low temperature. Richard Fix. Lois Wilson, Noah Beery, Malcolm Mc Gregor and all the other players lived the same rough, rugged outdoor life followed by the Indians and the camp crews. Two thousand men appeared in the modern battle scenes. Four batteries of French used. In the earliest Indian-Ameriean army Civil War field pieces were used. 4 A MOTHER vast spectacle of mar velous grandeur following the great Paramount tradition of epic pic 'tures such as The Covered Wagon and The Ten Commandments. People ev erywhere have been making up parties and planning days ahead to enjoy this vmforgetable show. Aglow with Romance — Ablaze with Adventure * Grey’s novel of stirring deeds and heroic action with a magnificence worthy its mighty theme screen s mighty tribute to the American Indian, first lord of the Western continent.
