rpHE sophomore team took the lead
over all other classes in the final
track meet for the girls’ first teams
yesterday afternoon. Their score
totaled 34 points, with the juniors
falling seven points behind. The
freshmen placed 21 scores, five of
which they earned through taking
the relay. The seniors were only
able to hook second and third places
for a total of 13 points.
The meet was held on the field
immediately south of the "Woman s
building, the officials being mem
bers of the staff of the department
of physical education for women
and majors in that department.
Nellie Johns Scores High
Nellie Johns, sophomore, hurled
in 15 points, the highest individual
score made. She scored first in
three events: the standing broad
jump, the running broad jump, and
the sixty-yaTd hurdles. Scoring was
on the basis of five points foT first
place, three for second, and one
for third.
Margaret Pepoon, junior, was run
ner-up as an individual scorer with
13 points garnered for her class.
She threw the baseball for a total
of 193 feet, 3 inches, unofficially
the longest heave an Oregon girl
"has ever made. This falls less than
30 feet short of the national wom
en’s record. The javelin throw was
a contest between Pepoon and Mel
ba Hatten, also a junior. Final
"honors went to Hatten with the
point holding the ground 80 feet, 2
inches away from the starting line.
Pepoon’s second was 79 feet, 7.8

Melba Hatten, Harriet Osborn,
■sophomores, and Mahala Kurtz,
freshman, each made 11 tallies for
their respective teams. Osborn
placed first in the basketball throw
at 76 feet, 2 inches.
The hurdles brought forth the
prettiest show of the afternoon, with
Johns, Kurtz, and Katherine Graef,
junior, all putting up a strong bid
for supremacy. Johns took the
event only a stride ahead of Kurtz,
with her time as 0:8.24.
Ruth Scott, running for the soph
omores, cut the string first in the
75-yard dash at a time of 0:9.24.
Seniors Make Points in Jumps
The seniors made all but three of
their points in the jumping events,
placing second in each and third
in the running broad, also. Janet
Wood, Alta Knips, and Elizabeth
Xiewis made all the points for the
class. Honors for the jumps were
secured from them by Johns, who
jumped 7 feet, 4 inches in the
standing broad and 14 feet, 11
Inches, in the running broad. Pep
<oon placed first in the hop, step,
•and jump with a distance of 26
feet, 6 1-2 inches.
The track meets have been con
ducted on a different basis this
year than usual. Heretofore, final
“teams were chosen after the general
-meet on Field Day. This year all
“teams were selected before the final
meet and then entered as teams,
rather than as individuals seeking
a team position. A second depar
ture from the previous method was
made when preliminary meets were

Comic Snaps Feature
Of Next Year’s Oregana
One of the distinctive features
,0f the 1927 Oregana will be the
comic snapshots of prominent cam
pus people, says Frances Bourhill,
editor. Marion Sten is in charge
of the collection of pictures, and
there will be a representative in
every house on the campus to get
pictures from each group.
Two or three pictures will be
used from each house, the only qual
ifications being that the pictures
be funny, and that there be few
people in the group pictures, as
they reproduce better. Only glos
sy finish pictures can be used.
The collection of pictures /will
begin this spring, in order to pro
.cure pictures taken at this time.
Prehistoric 6Mount Multnomah’
Described by Dr. Hodge in Book
Gigantic Formation Stood Where Three Sisters
Now Raise Their Towering Peaks
gEVERAL million years ago when
Oregon was still in the process
of formation, a gigantic mountain
larger and#higher by far than any
now in the state, stood where the
Three Sisters raise their peaks more
than 10,000 feet above the sea lev
el.
This, in brief, is the story out
lined by Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, pro
fessor of economic geology at the
University of Oregon, in his book,
“Mount Multnomah”, published by
the University last week.
This pre-historic mountain, Dr.
Hodge further declares, existed for
a million years or more only to be
destroyed when an explosion which
must have shaken the world blew
off its top. The explosion left a
crater—or caldera, as the geologists
call it—more than 8 miles in diam
ter, this caldera can still be
traced. Dr. Hodge “discovered”
the mountain while making a de
tailed study of the Three Sisters
region in the summer of 1924. He
named the peak “Mount Multnom
ah”, and it is the story of this
mountain of eons ago that Dr.
Hodge relates in his book, which
is replete with proofs, pictures,
maps and surveys. The book, writ
ten in language and form which can
be understood by the average in
terested reader als well as by the
trained scholar, will be placed on
sale by the University of Oregon
library.
In the Three Sisters region, says
the author, there is the largest ac
cessible recent lava flow in the Uni
ted States; there are 50 young vol
canic cones; there is one of1 the
largest crater lakes in the world,
and there are 17 glaciers covering
2257 acres, which is the largest
acreage of any ice field as far
south in the United States. The
area, he points out, is unsurpassed
for its scenic beauty and as a natu
ral playground.
The present North Sister, says

tive council. The tentative selec
tion of speakers for next year will
be submitted, says Dr. Warren D.
Smith, head of the geology depart
ment, who is chairman of the In
tellectual activities committee.
Dr. Smith will recommend at this
meeting that the studens give fi
nancial support to the program in
case of loss. In case of gain the
proceeds would go to the student
body.
The following is the tentative

Strawberry Social
Proves Successful
The Strawberry Social held on
the tennis courts last night was a
success. The crowd, the profits,
and the weather all played up to the
cause. W. A. A. sponsored the uni
que dance to help pay the expenses
of Play Day to be held with O. A.
C. this Saturday. Music furnished
by the Aggravators did not go a
begging, although the three courts
that had been reserved were not
filled at all times. Nor did the
strawberry ice cream sundaes have
any difficulty in finding their way j
to students who had eaten a des
sertless evening meal.
Dr. Warren D. Smith
To Speak Friday Night
A lecture by Dr. Warren D. Smith
on the “Contribution to the Geo
logy and Economic Geography of
Southeastern Oregon” in 105 Deady
hall, Friday evening will follow the
regular business meeting of Sigma
Xi at 7:30 for the election of offi
cers. Dr. Smith is head of the de
partment of geology. His lecture,
which will be accompanied by lan
tern slides, is open to the public.
Columbia River
Expedition to Be
Assembly Topic
E. F. Flynn Will Describe
Pioneer Movements
And Explorers
E. P. Flynn, assistant to the
vice-president and general counsel
of the Great Northern railway, and
Director of Public Relation's for
that company, in his assembly ad
dress Thursday on the “The Colum
bia River Historical Expedition”
will not only tell of the proposed
expedition which will take place
sometime in June, but of the early
history, including the pioneer ex
plorers and their expeditions, and
of the Columbia river and the sur
rounding region.
Mr. Flynn, who has his head
quarters in St. Paul, was formerly
of the American Law League and
was a private lawyer, says Peter
B. Crockatt, of the economics de
partment, upon whose invitation Mr.
Flynn will visit the campus. “He
is a rapid-fire stimulating and in
spiring talker,” Mr. Crockatt says.
He feels confident that what the
speaker says will be of interest.
This will not be Mr. Flynn’s first
visit to the campus, as he was here
in the fall and addressed Mr. Crock
att’s transportation 'classes. On
this visit Mr. Flynn will make only
two addresses, one at assembly and
the other at the Chamber of Com
merce.
Great railway companies are do
ing a great deal toward arousing
interest in the history of the coun
try through advertising, expedi
tions, and by the erection of mem
orial monuments along pioneer
routes, according to Mr. Crockatt.
This June expedition of the Colum
bia river territory is to be spon
sored by the Great Northern, and
members of the party will be dele
gates selected from the historical
associations of the states of the Uni
ted States and Canada. F. G. Young,
of the sociology department, and
secretary of the Oregon Historical
association will probably be one of
the representatives. There will also
be a number of French high school
students and some students from
the eastern part of the country
taken on this expedition, as part
of the educative scheme.
Mr. Flynn is well known over the
country, as he is interested in all
community movements and is called
out to make addresses a great deal,
says Mr. Crockatt.
Lawyers and Athletes
To Clash in Baseball
The worthy followers of “San
dow,” “Tarzan,” and “Sons of
Venus” Scott, otherwise known as
physical education baseball players,
have challenged the law school fans
to what they promise to be a wildly
exciting game. The barristers have
accepted the call, and today at 3:30
o’clock last year’s champions of the
i diamond will clash with the physi
cal eds on “Bloomer Ridge,” other
wise known as Hayward field.

Las* Year’s Award Given
Benoit McCroskey
^^REGON’S hope of winning the
last intercollegiate forensic
event of the year’s schedule rests
with Ralph Bailey, senior in eco
nomics, who will represent the Uni
versity in the annual Tri-State ora
tory contest, to be held at Moscow,
Idaho, Saturday night, May 22.
This is the second time in three
years that Bailey, four-year debater
and orator, is to compete in what is
considered the highest-calibre ora
tory contest among northwest high
er educational institutions. In 1922,
he was defeated by the University
of Washington entrant and the Un
iversity of Idaho man placed third.
Blaine Prize $100
“Heroes in the Battle of Life”
is the topic which Bailey has been
preparing during the past few
months under the direction of J.
Stanley Gray, head of the depart
ment of public speaking and varsi
ty debate and oratory coach.
One prize of $100 is awaried the
winner of first place. It Is donated
by E. F. Blaine of Seattle, Wash
ington. It is in honor of this Se
attle lawyer that the even; is tech
nically termed the “E. F. Blaine
Northwest Oratorical Contest.”
In judging the contestants, the
three judges consider both content
and delivery. Bailey’s three copies
have already been placed in the
hands of Frank Wyman, debate
manager of the University of Ida
ho, which is host this year. He
has informed the Oregon public
speaking department that a copy
has been forwarded to each of the
judges, who will have read them
before hearing them presented-oral
ly.
Oi^gon 1927 Host
Oregon, represented by Benoit
McCroskey, sophomore in pre-law,
won the Tri-State contest held at
Seattle last year. Washington won
first in 1924, and Claude RobinSon,
representing Oregon, placed second.
Paul Patterson won the event in
1923.
The contest rotates each year to
a different school in the triangle.
Next year it will be held in Eu
gene with the University as host.
Women Will Contest
For Archery Honors
At Practice Meet
Thirty members of the archery
classes will hold a practice meet
today. Miss Harriest W. Thomp
son, professor of physical education
and staff member in charge of this
work, Miss Mildred Stephens, in
structor in archery, and Miss Do
rothy Gay, head of the sport, are
the members of the committee han
dling the meet. Five teams, deter
mine! by their shooting perentage,
are entered. This means of selec
tion places each person in compe
tition with others of approximately
her own ability.
Although the competition is held
each year, this is the first time the
National Round of the National
archery association has been so
nearly reached. The only modifica
t on is the distance from 60 to 50 and
from 50 to 40 yards. This change
was made because the classes have
not been able to practice the 60
yard course because of lack of space;
Students interested in doing
managerial work on the 1927
Oregana are asked to turn in
their applications to the gradu
ate manager’s office by Thurs*
day, May 20. The positions open
for application are advertising
manager, circulation manager,
four assistant advertising mana
gers and assistant circulation
manager.

Freshman Picnic at
Midway Friday to Be
Lively Class Event
Midway will be the scene of the
freshman picnic Friday from 1 p.
m. until 12 p. m.
Members of the committee in
charge met yesterday and formu
lated plans for the fun event. Ac
cording to the committee, it will be
“the biggest and best fun event of
the entire year for the class, even
rivaling the parade, library steps,
and the tug of war.”
Class members may take any of
the street cars that will run from
1 p. m. until 5 p. m. and stay until
12 m. if they please. The commit
tee promises a live time, lots of
eat, many amusements, and a “rip
roaring big dance.”
The hall at Midway has a good

Party to Be Given at
Art Museum May 20
'J^HURSDAY evening at 7:30
the Murray-Warner art muse
um will be the scene of an in
formal party of art and archi
tecture students who will be the
guests of Mrs. P. L. Campbell,
Mrs. W. E. Church, and Mrs.
Lucy Perkins.
The gathering will aim to get
the students better acquainted
with the East, its people, and
what they have to offer in the
line of art.
Mrs. Campbell has looked for
ward to such an opportunity as
this for a long time and is eager
for its success. Besides refresh
ments, there are other things
which promise to make the eve
ning very enjoyable, since Mrs.
Warner has brought with her
from her last trip abroad an
enormous quantity of new pieces
of art. Professor Walter E.
Church declares that he found
when last in California, that the
University of Oregon wrfs known
for this museum. The attic
above the museum is stacked
with crates, which are still un
packed because of lack of room
to display the art. Mrs. War
ner’s last trip abroad was devot
ed mostly to the collection of
Japanese art ,and now there is
one Japanese piece to every Chi
nese piece in the museum.

Concert Series
Occurs Tonight
Dr. Landsbury to Present
Piano Recital in Music
Auditorium
For the first time in three years,
Dean John Landsbury will appear
in concert before the University
this evening at eight o’clock in the
school of music auditorium, in an
explanatory piano recital. This is
the last of the series of six faculty
concerts sponsored by Mu Phi Ep
silon. Student admissiin is 35 cents,
and general admission 50 cents.
Dean Landsbury will give an in
terpretation of each piecf, The pro
gram, which is composed of classi
cal and romantic numbers, follows:
Gavotte in B Minor ..
Fuge in A Minor . Bach
Sonata Op. 27 No. 1.Beethoven
Allegro molto e vivace.
Adagio con expressione.

Polonaise C minor .Chopin
Valse in E minor Posthumous.

Etudes Op. 10 .Chopin
Number 3 in E major.
Number 7 in C major.
Number 12 in C major.
Concert work early claimed Dean
Landsbury, but later his interests
branched out and he took up the
study of the problem of the adjust
ment of music to the University
curriculum. He came here in 1914
to create the department of compo
sition and to head the department
of piano. In 1917 he was named
dean of the school.
His first public recital was at
the age of nine, although he began
studying when he was four. He
had no though of music as a pro
fession until about two years after
graduating from high school.
After taking his first degree from
Simpson college, in Iowa, he taught.
He took his graduate studies at the
University of Berlin, and music
work under Max Bruch, Oscar Fleis
cher, Eisenbergor, and* others. After
returning to Simpson, he went to
Baker university at Baldwin, Kan
sas, to teach piano. From there he
came to Oregon.
On the boat to Germany, Mr.
Landsbury met one of the best
known concert singers in Germany,
Frau Munchoff, an American who
spent her life in her adopted coun
try. She gave him a letter to the
pension in Berlin where he stayed
at first. There he met an interest
ing German student, Fraulein Kuy
per, who wished to know if he
would like to meet Max Bruch, who
lived at Friedenau, near Berlin.
Mr. Landsbury was not acquaint
ed with the high standing of this
man, who was considered the great
est German authority on composi
tion. Consequently, when Herr
Bruch asked if he would like to
have him take charge of his study
in Berlin, he acquiesced rather re
servedly. Later, he found that he
was one of six to receive the
highest honor paid to a music stu
dent.
Herr Bruch gave him cards for

Varsity Wins
From Huskies
in 10 to 9 Tilt
Eighth Inning Rally Turns
Defeat into Victory
For Webfooters
Washington Southpaw
Knocked from Mound
Hobson Has Good Day
With Seven Tries
By DICK STRING
/VVER a hundred years ago, when
Napoleon was sixteen years old,
he was spanked for making faces
at his grandmother. Yesterday af
ternoon, Lefty Jones, University of
Washington southpaw,; ,received a
spanking of hits in the eighth in
ning for no apparent reason at all,
and lost the final ball game, 10 to
9, to the University of Oregon var
sity nine.
Southpaw Jones pitched fairly
good ball, wobbling along until the
eighth inning with an apparent 6
to 5 victory. The last half of the
eighth he received the surprise of
his young life when the Webfooters
began knocking his slants far off
into the offing. At this juncture
Coach “Tubby” Graves signaled
him to the showers in favor of Gard
ner, right-hander. Gardner had a
hard time retiring the side and be
fore the third man was called out
the varsity had scored six runs.
Inning Eventful
The eventful eighth inning began
with Hobson at bat. He got on
base through an error of Johnson,
Huskie shortstop. Reinhart and Ed
wards both singled. Jack Bliss
knocked a nice easy Toller to the
third baseman who was playing in
towards the plate. Beckett held
the ball for a second, deciding what
to do and allowed Bliss to get to
first. Hobson had previously scor
ed on Edwards’ bungle. With bases
loaded, Adolph came to bat and
came through with a nice long
single. Mimnaugh, jKiminki and
Baker all drove out singles, with
Arnie Kinrinki the last man to
score.
Bill Baker, pitching for the var
sity, seemed to be working in hard
luck. On all occasions, with two
men out, the Huskies forced in runs.
Grave’s men scored first in the sec
ond inning when a walk, hit and
error gave them two runs. A couple
of hits gave them two more in the
fifth. With one man on in the
sixth, Walby, Huskie catcher, knock
ed out a homer for two more.
Huskies Stage Rally
With the score 10 to 6 in his
favor, Baker faced the Huskies at
the beginning of the ninth with a
determination to set them down in
short order. Coach Graves began to
pour in the pinch hitters only to
have the ninth inning rally nipped
after three men had crossed the
platter.
The Oregon varsity nine looked
much better than in the first con
test Monday. They made 11 hits
count for 10 runs and made only
two errors. Jones, with two doub
les, lead the locals in hitting, with
Adolph second with two singles.
“Hobby” Hobson at second had a
great day in the field, handling
seven chances without a bobble. Ar*
nie Kiminki at short looked much
better than he has all season, hand
ling four assists, making five put
outs and garnering two safe hits.
Double Plays Successful
The Webfoot infield succeeded in
staging two double plays. In the
first of the third with one down, a
