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.

Frosh Track Team
To Meet Aggie Rooks
In Relays Saturday
As a result of the tryouts hold
yesterday for the frosh relay team,
which meets the Aggie rooks in the
annual relay carnival at Corvallis
next Saturday, Coach Spike Leslie
has selected 16 men to represent
the local green-cappers. The events
to be held next Saturday afternoon
are the 440-yard relay, the half
mile, mile, 3 mile and medley relays.
The sprinters who will run in the
410-yard and half-mile relays are:
Creed Cheshire, Arthur Ord, Loye
McGee, Joe Stannard, George Burn
ell and Alex Scott.
four of the five following men
will compose the mile relay team:
Joe Stannard, Jack Jones, Bill Hag
gerty, Bill Cruiekshank and Jack
Nelson.
The three-mile relay team will
be taken care of by two half-milers

Runar Rasmus, or David Bauman,
while the milers will be picked from
Harold Little, Edwin Jensen and
Robert Hill.
Those who do not compete in the
other races will run in the medley,
which should be the thrilling event

their predecessors, are out to win
as the freshmen won last year on
Hayward field.

Noyes B. 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.”

“The VANISHING
AMERICAN”
I It was throe years in preparation.
| It was six months in production.
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.
