Varsity Mermen Do Good Work During Season Outlook Favorable For Next Year, in Spite Of Defeats The University of Oregon mermen opened their 1926 swimming season against the strong Multnomah club in the Winged M tank on Saturday night, January 30. The Webfooters opened the 1926 competitive season ■with only one letterman from last year’s squad on the team, Bob Boggs, holder of the 220-yard iash Tecord of the northern section of the Pacific Coast conference. This first meet with the Clubmen officially introduced Oregon’s new swimming coach, E. F. Aber crombie. Abercrombie, a new comer on the Oregon campus fhW last fall, has already made for him self a host of friends. He came to Oregon from Columbia university, of New York, where he had taken post graduate work. While in New York, Abercrombie made a name for himself as an expert diver and held several city titles. Swimming against the varsity in their first meet were three ex-var sity water splashers, Art Erickson. Ben Lombard, and George Horsfall. Art Erickson was a backstrokor of much ability, and Lombard was a sprint swimmer. Horsfall wa3 one of the first men in the University to receive a letter for swimming. He left the University in 1921 and now holds several Portland city titles. The Clubmen captured the llrst meet, 43 to 14. Jack Cody ’a swimmers placed first, with one ex ception. A1 Sinclair won in the 200-yard breast stroke, one of the most exciting races of the dual tourney. Bob McMath, Multnomah swimmer, got off to a good lead and lengthened it on the first turn. At the last turn McMath still led and was going strong, Bill McGre gor was second, and Sinclair third. With a remarkable spurt, Sinclair forged ahead in a burst of speed that gave him two feet to sparo. In the second meet with the Multnomah club mermen, the var sity made a somewhat more impres sive showing, holding the clubmen to a 44 to 23 score. Two close meets with the Oregon Agricultural college swimming team were recorded the past season. In the first meet, the varsity was de feated 36 to 32. Oregon was lcad ing, 32 to 31, as the relay started, but failed to score against the Aggie quartet. At no time during the meet did either team have a commanding lead, first one and then the other forging ahead. Bob Boggs, of Oregon, was high point scorer with 11, and Smith of the Aggies second, with 10 points. Bor the second time of the past soason, the Oregon varsity mermen lost 35 to 33. In this contest the1 relay determined the winner. Prospects for next year look very bright with a number of lettormen back. Boggs, Sinclair, Byorly, Mc Gregor, Fletcher, Herring, Finley, McCook, Riggs, and a number of super-varsity and freshman aspir ants should make a strong bid. Robert Dart, statistician in the registrar's office, will sail from Ban Francisco September lltli with John Siefert, bound for Boston, “MiMeuiehusetts, where thoy will .-study under Theodore Schroeder, -one of the leading voice teachers of America. Mr. Dart has been studying under Mr. ,-Siefert, head of the voice de partment of the school of music, for some time. He graduated from the University of California in 1922, and has been doing graduate work here. Mr. Dart expects to be in Boston for about three years. j Activities i (Continued from page one) wore: freshmen lectures, the Hello ■book, living organizations, instruc tor advisors, student advisors vurk ing in the Big-Sister work of the Women’s league, and departmental mentors and the freshman ? mimis sion of the Y.

Subscribe for the Kmc raid Dean H. Walker Meets Dr, A, B. Hall During Visit to Wisconsin Camp us By BARBARA BLYTHE Dean H. Walker, dean of men, visited with Arnold Bennett Hall, new president of the University of Oregon, last Sunday and is strong in his approval and praise of the new president, from the impressions gathered in a few hours’ visit. On his way home from Minne apolis, where he attended a meeting of the National Association of Deans of Men, he and Mrs. Walker, who accompanied him on the trip, stopped in Madison, Wisconsin, where they made an informal visit to Arnold Bennett Hall. “The meeting was very informal,” said the Dean, “we visited Dr. and Mrs. Hall at their home on Sunday and spent several hours with them. They wanted to know much about it out here and were especially anxious to know about the president’s house and asked us to hire a maid for them. “The new president is held in high regard by all who know him back there,” said Dean Walker, “and I was very much impressed with his personality.” Another thing that is very impressive, he said, is his breadth of interest and the vigor with which he works. “I think the Halls are people who will carry on the same attitude and the same higher level of cultured interest in the University that Presi dent and Mrs. Campbell held during the late president’s occupancy of the office,” the dean said. “Both Mr. and Mrs. Hall are anxi ous to get out here,” said Dean Walker. They had difficulty in making the decision to come here because the new president had at tractive prospects. “Some talk has been caused becauso he could not come out here before September, but the many engagements that he had made before accepting the presi dency, make this impossible. I be lieve that anyone who could see the great demand for him there and the number of things which he is carry ing on would not condemn him for not coming,” he said. Dr. Hall is a member of the Y. M. C. A. board at the University of Wisconsin and sits in on a number of student committees. He asked about the Y. M. C. A. situation here and shows a great interest in stu dent affairs. He has informed him self of the situation here and is ready to step in and take charge of the administration as soon as he ar rives. At the same time the NationaJ. Association of Deans of Men was holding its meetings in Minneapolis, a meeting of the National Associa tion of Personnel Bureaus was be ing held, said Dean Walker. There were men from practically all the universities in the United States at tending the meetings, some of which were held in conjunction with the deans of men meetings. “I had no more than arrived than man after man came up to me and congratulated me on Oregon secur ing Dr. Hall as president of the state University,” said Mr. Walker, “He is a valuable man, not only in what he has accomplished but also in the valuable personal con tacts he has made.” Dr. Hall will be detained in the east until September when he will come to Eugene. He will assume the duties of the president of the Uni versity this fall and will be inaug urated the first day of the Semi Centennial celebration, October 18, 1926.

HE1L1G CONCERT ORCHESTRA “ p CHARLES RUNYAN, Conductor, Playing Selection “Orange Blossoms,” by Victor Herbert Frosh Will Meet Rook Track Team Today at 3:00 Yearlings Doped to Win Last Set-to; O. A. C. Team Strong Today is the big day for the fresh man track squad as they wind up the season against the O. A. C. Rooks this afternoon on Hayward field. If comparative scores, times and distances count for anything the frosh should win, but many things happen in a track meet. The frosh are in the best of con dition and are in mid-season form. The showing that they made against the strong University of Washing ton Babes shows that the material is there. Coaches Bill Hayward and Spike Leslie have been pointing the team toward the Rooks all season, as it is the one that really counts. Oregon will enter -three men in all the events but the pole vault which has been the weak spot on the year lings team this season. The frosh with George Stager, Mark Sander son, Arthur Ord, Bill Crawford, and George Burnell, should carry off the honors in the field events. Except for the mile, half-mile, and quarter mile, the frosh are rather weak. Oglesby and Twitchell, the star Rook speed demons, will have to move in order to beat Creed Ches hire. The yearlings should win the high hurdles but the Rooks have a good low hurdler in Twitchell, who will make Loye McGee move right along. To attempt to dope out this meet would be fatal as they are so closely matched it looks like a toss up to pick the ' winner. The meet will start at 3:00 p. m. - Joint Piano-Organ Recital to be Given By Esther Church A pian« and organ recital, the first of its type to be presented here, is to be given next Thursday evening at 8 o’clock in the school of music auditorium by Esther Church, as Jier graduation recital. Miss Church, who is a senior in the school, is a student of John Stark Evans.

Miss Church has been chairman of the music committee of the stu dent body this year, and supervisor of public school music at Creswell, where she trained the high school glee club. In her sophomore year she was winner of the Mu Phi Ep silon scholarship. She has been prominent in musical work on the campus, and she is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon.
