Weather Delays Track Training For Coming Meet - ! Standard Animates 440; Hurdles and Weights Regarded Wreak Flanagan Out for Sprints As Well as Jumps With rain once more preventing intensive training, Oregon’s track an<1 field stars are showing a small itacreaso for the last few weeks’ vyork. The most intensive work was the intra- j tBural relay in which all of the candidates except lottormen took part. No new stars were discov- j ercd in this, but ! several fine show- \ wigs wore made, Probably t. li o ■lost surprising Flanagan race was tlie one run by Joe Stan dard who ran the last quarter of the mile relay and overcame a lead of twenty yards to win. This race | assures Oregon of.two good quarter milers in Standard and .Toe Price, a Iettorman. Pearson and Jeffries also ran good quarters which briglit Uns things in the mile rela v Weather too Cold In the mile event several sopho mores have been improving rapidly, and in the meet two weeks ago beat ffeidomeir, the favorite, by several yards, although the time for the event was slow. The distance men have suffered very much from the cold weather, as muscles are tight ened and the stride broken. Oehler *md Rutherford have been battling for the best time in the half with neither turning in any startling times. Dope on the two mile is not available, as no trials have been ran yet. The sprints will bo taken care of by Extra, Flanagan and Kirehor, with Hermance and Iloblitt in re serve. Extra has been laid up with a bad shoulder but will bo back in training this week. Jerry has al ways managed to make points in imy meet that he has run in, and for the last two years has taken tyjo firsts against O. A. C. Flan agan is also a fast hundred man and will probably be at his best this year. Kirehor is an unknown quan tity, but ho has been pressing Extra *H season and is developing rapid ly. The hurdles still remain tho weak race, but a big improvement ■Is looked for with the coming of warm weather. Flanagan Working Out Tho best, outlook for any event is Captain Proctor “Irish” Flanagan in tho broad jump. Proc has always consistently jumped over 20 feet, and with the intensive training that ho has been doing this year, be will probably break the coast conference record again. Two years ago ho jumped 20 foot 8 inches for the record, but it was broken by two California men last year. Mc Gee, a sophomore, has been doing about 21 feet, but will undoubted ly do better under competition. Things have not been looking fa vorable in the weights, but so far there has not been any competition to bring out what the men can do when pressed. Wetzel is the best i«lin ill the shot, and is the only -onr that has been getting over 40 feet. In the discus, Wetzel and fStager will probably do about equal a on it. This shirr has the long point collar. It is made of a genu ine imported English Broadcloth — the best in collars and in shirts that you can buy. Ask Your Dealer ivith Eberhardt and Gunther close behind. Wetzel and Gunther are 30th getting fair distance in the javelin and should improve rapidly. Preparing for Eelay The high jump also looks like a >oint winning event with McCulloch md Crawford doing around 6 feet, fhey both have gone over this mark uid should do it again, but reversals n form sometimes occur. The pole vault is being cared for by Ed Crowley and A1 Bracher. Little is known of what they have been do ing this year, but they should get iround 12 feet. All in all things do not look as good as they might, but if warm tvoatlier ever arrives there will, or should be, a big improvement. At this time of the year no predic tions can be made of what will hap pen in actual competition as there :tre possibilities that may develop. iV much better line-up can be ob tained after the try-outs next Sat jrday for the Washington relays. These try-outs will be at eleven 3’clock so as not to interfere with the Belay Carnival that afternoon. Tennis Aspirants Must Play Three Matches Each Week Owing to the unsettled conditions )f the weather, girls who are taking oart in the ladder tennis tourna ments are advised to take advan tage of every opportunity to play off their quota of three matches i week or a total of eight before May 2, when tho class teams are to he picked. “Tho girls should try is hard as possible to get to the top of the ladder,” said Genera Zimmer, head of the sport, “for the first teams will be composed of those nearest the top.” The ladder has been posted on the bulletin board by the scales in the Woman’s building and is work ed by a system of challenging. Any girl on the ladder challenges any other girl one, two or three places above her and if she wins she is to notify her class manager, who will change the names. If she loses she may play the game over. The class managers who have been appointed are: Mahalah Kurtz, freshman; Jane Cochran, sopho more; Ruth Scott, junior; and Mar garet Popoon, senior. If any girl reaches the top of tho ladder and has no more games to play before the time is up she may practico an hour with anyone and turn this in. Every time the girls play they must check the health sheet. Varsity Hitting Horsehide at .327 Average McCormick Is High Hitter; Team Has Practice Tilt With Frosli It was a fast and scrappy team that the varsity baseball nine faced during last night’s practice period — Coach Earl (Spike) Leslie's hard hitting year ling squad form i n g opposition. The contest wasn’t a regular schedule tilt and was interrupted by frequent in structions from, each coach. Coach Billy Reinhart, in addi tion to the prac Reinhart tice with the freshmen, put the infield through a snappy workout. The cold weather has made it impossible for the pit chers to bear down very hard. The sore arm which bothered Bill Bak er lias improved to the extent that he will probably receive the pitch ing assignment against the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis next Friday. Reinhart’s latest experiment with the varsity nine was to put Red Slauson in the box. Slausoh has iiad little or no previous hurling experience, but has some of the earmarks of a chucker. Lefty Mc Donald faced the freshman batters yesterday. The recently figured batting aver ages show that the AVebfooters are hitting the ball at a .327 clip. This is a good average, but the big of 1 fensive guns of the lemon-yellow horsehide performers are operated by only a few members of the team. The hitting is not evenly divided and at critical times the needed punch is absent. Don McCormick, the scintillating third sacker who is playing his first year on the varsity, leads his team mates in batting with the fat aver age of .553. McCormick played in three of the four contests of last week. Arnie ^iminki, the eccentric performing shortpateher, seconds McCormick for heavy stick work with .455. Lynn Jones is third in the list with .389. Varsity Squad Batting Average Per Player bat hit cent I.

And of course we ail know, what has been achieved in projecting pictures from a distance. “This great and growing Held of communica tion. far from completed, is opening up constantly greater opportunity,not only for technically trained men but also for men in various commercial and professional activities—the men who in increasing numbers will always be needed to sell and adminis trate the services which the engineers create.” ■ Western Electric Company Makers of the Nation’s Telephones S'umktr 69 of a Srrirs his numeral in freshman basketball, and is now out for freshman base ball.

'■We would thus offer an excel lent opportunity for honest co-op eration and a thorough understand ing of varying views on problems in which both the editor and groups represented by the publications com mittee are vitally interested. “No University official, elected or Check on Others appointed, should deliberately sliun advice and counsel of others inter ested in, and striving for, some ob jective. All other student body of ficials are subject at all times to check of a supervisory group.” In conclusion Biggs asserted that, “The proposed amendment would do no more than place the editor on the same plane of responsibility as that of other elected student of ficials.” TODAY, THURSDAY Matinee 2 P.
