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.

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. Bill has donated five
silver cups to be given away to win

HE WAS NEVER INVITED TO ANY PARTIES . .
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.

Once again the Old Oregon campus is filled with chat
tering students, happy and light hearted—looking for
.1 wonderful spring term. Everything is beautiful be
yond compare, but without the co-eds and their
brightly colored spring clothes that dance in the
breeze and make Joe College bat his eyes, the scenes
might be more doleful.

You can read about China in newspaper's but what
