Runners Begin Hard Work on Cinder Track Return of Jerry Extra Strengthens Hopes In Sprints First Meet With Huskies On April 30 The prospects for a winning var sity track team raised yesterday when Jerry Extra, veteran sprinter, enrolled tor tne coming term. With Extra and Proc Flanagan, track captain, in | the sprints this should be one of :;i the stronger I! events of the team. H The addition to || the squad of |i: Ralph McCulloch H and Bill Craw ioru, luuceu Proc Flanagan high jumpers, will make that event above the average in strength. Bob Foster, who hur dled for last year’s frosli team, has donned a suit and will give the other candidates competition for a berth on the team. Vaulter Going Good Ed Crowley, letterman vaulter, has been working well this year, and has already equalled the height of 11 feet 6 inches at which he won first plare in the Oregon,-O. A. C. meet, and bettered the 11 feet 3 inch mark at which he won the Washington meet. The half mile affair has Coach Bill Hayward worried. He was de pending on McKitrick, of last year’s frosh team, to carry the colors in this event, but to date he has not reported. Bob Overstreet, who ran the four furlong last season for the varsity, did not return to school this term. Veterans in Weight Events In the weight events Vic Wetzel, Bob Stager, and Mark Sanderson, will probably represent the Oregon varsity. Last year it was through 1 the efforts of Vic Wetzel with the javelin that Oregon was able to win the dual moot with the Oregon Aggies. As it was, the lemon-yellow squad only won by a single point, the final score being 66 to 65. Schedule for the season follows: April 30—Washington Relay Car nival at Seattle. May 7—W. S. C.-Oregon dual meet at Eugene. May 14—Washington-Oregon dual meet at Seattle. May 21—O. A. C.-Oregon dual meet at Eugene. May 27-28—Northwest conference ! meet at Corvallis. June 3-4—Pacific Coast Intercol legiates.

Added Attraction “Uncle Izzy” Himself and his Country Store Water Polo Is Added to Roster Of Donut Sports Hayward to Give Silver Cups to Winners Of Carnival With the beginning of spring weather the donut sports miil comes out of hibernation with a big pro term. Inter - organi zation tennis doubles, baseball, water-polo, relay games and track meet and free lance golf teurna ments are chalked on the spring cal endar. Coach Ed Aber crombie, tennis and swimming coach, will be in The Great Unknown charge of the tennis meet and the water-polo games. The latter sport is an innovation in donut sports at Oregon and Abbie expects it to be one of the leaders as it affords lots of rough and tumble action without the damaging effects of football. A meeting of house Representatives is to be held in the men’s gym Thursday at 7 p. m. to get action started. Last year Theta Chi defeated Friendly hall’s tennis doubles team in the finals but the 1927 aspirants still repose under a cloud. Inas much as the varsity conference sea son starts soon, Abercrombie plans to start the matches off early and will announce dates and drawings in the near future. Donut baseball will be run on a similar scheme to the basketball tourney this year. Losing teams will enter a consolation tournament and fight it out among themselves for another chance at the title. Virgil Earl will have charge of baseball and promises two fields for play so that the fraternity nines can run off their games faster. Alpha Tau Omega defeated Phi Gamma Delta in a herculean strug gle for the title of the highlands last year and figure to repeat their coup when bats and balls start to fly in donut warfare. Golf, another new sport, was add ed to the spring ticket under di rection of Bob Giffen. It will be a free lance tournament and with the prospect of using the Eugene Country Club’s links, many adher ents of the clout-and-cliase-it game are expected to sign up when dates are announced. Intramural relay games and a track meet will also be run off spring term under Bill Hayward’s supervision.

HE TOOK UP OLD GOLD CIGARETTES . UNTIL Henry could not figure out why he was a social outcast. There was no trace of Halitosis in his family. And though he was no Collar Ad, he wasn’t hard to look at. Yet, whenever there was a Classy Affair in town, Henry was always on the outside, looking in. Even his best friends seemed to prefer his com pany over the telephone. One day he overheard some Nice People refer ring to him as “Hacking Henry.” At last, the truth struck home. They were giving him the “razzberry” because of his Constant Cough. That very day Henry switched to Old Gold Cigarettes . . . and a mir acle took place. Henry found a Smoke without a Choke; a cigarette that tickled his taste but not his throat. Today, Henry is as wel come, everywhere, as a Visiting Prince; and as popular as a Movie Star. Since he lost his cough, he never gets “raspberries,” excepting for breakfast.
