Fiji Aquatic Aces Triumph In Donut Meet Winners Take 27 Points S.A.E. ami Phi Dells ; r Tie for Second _ Gillett, Sigma Nu Flash, Wins Two Firsts in I Free Style Events By CIIAL NOOK Tho donut ivatcr-wings go to the Fijis; they won the intramural swimming meet yesterday afternoon j in the men’s gymnasium pool with j 27 points. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta were their nearest competitors with 22 markers each. “A Fiji in every event” won the meet for Phi Gamma Delta. They took points in each race and in the dives, but did not take a single first place. Bill Gillett, Sigma Nu mer man, took the individual honors with a first in tho 40 yard free style ^ and first in the 100 yard free style. Gillett swam tho 40 in 21 seconds flat, bettering last year’s record of 22 4-5 seconds held by Vic Wet zel, Plii Dclt star. The 100 yard splint was completed in 1 minute 5 second 4 No previous intramurail record is recorded for this event. Record Lowered. Bob McMath, Delta Tau Delta, breasted 40 yards of water and won the breast stroke in 28.2 seconds, which also lowered the existing do nut record of 29 seconds established by Baker, Phi Delt. It may be some time before the intramural 40 yard back stroke rec ord of 25 4-5 seconds held by Bob McAlpin, Dclt, will be smashed. Ivon-j igshoffer, A. T. O. hoiie, made the j distance in 28.5 seconds and took first place. lie was second to Mc Alpin last year. Servers Repeats Bill Seivers, S. A. E. low-board artist, repeated. He won the div ing event last year and yesterday h afternoon took a closely contested ! match from McDonald, Fiji. After j each of the divers entered had had | their four dives, including their op tional, Coach Abercrombie, who was judging tlie event, discovered that1 Stivers and McDonald had the same | number of points and were heading j the list. An additional optional dive | was granted these two men to elim- [ inate the tie. Stivers chose a one and a half front and slid in the water nicely. A back jack-kife was ' McDonald’s choice. The previous wettings must have caused the jack knife to rust for, although he closed j up in good shape, he failed to open in the same excellent manner. Phi Delts Take Relay Vic Wetzel and his cohorts took j the relay, with Phi Gamma Delta pulling up in second place. It might have been a slightly different story if the anchor man of the Sigma Nu team had not lost track of his team mate and waited for another man to touch the cement before he plunged ! in. Sigma Nu was leading in their beat up to this time and, although I they might not have taken first, they would have been around the top. The races were run in heats, with a stop-watch on every swimmer. The mail with the.best time won.

Frosli Diamond Aspirants Called Leslie To Meet Men at 3:30 in Igloo The duckling pigskin artists have had their fling, the'duckling casaba experts have cut their swath, and scon the duckling liorsehide pum melers arc to have their inning. With spring approaching the base ball “tingle” lias begun to permeate the atmosphere. It won’t be long" now. Spike Leslie, freshman base ball mentor, is expecting a big sea son for his yearling diamond aspir ants. At present it is doubtful, accoscl ing to Leslie, whether he will call practice for the freshman nine be fore the opening of the spring term, but before anything definite is de cided on this matter the freshman coach wishes to get in touch* with all duckling baseballists—catchers, pitchers, infielders, outfielders, hits men, batsmen, waterboys, and what nets, so long as they are freshmen and have the “itch” to play ball. The best method that Coach Leslie has hit upon to bring this contact about is tq call a big freshman base ball pow-wow in McArthur court, Monday afternoon, at 3:30 o’clock. Some of the purposes of this frosli baseball get-together, is to learn the approximate size of the squad to bo expected out in the spring, that suf ficient equipment may be provided for, to get the names of the players, what they have played, the position they intend to try for, and possibly, the feasibility of holding practice before next term. A few duckling hinders have been using the Igloo in sporadic, work hut sessions during the past two weeks. It is time for all the frosli Cobbs, Ruths, Hornsbys, and such, to begin to condition themselves for the coming season, says Coach Les lie. He implied that it would lie to the advantage of all aspirants to be on hand at the scheduled “indoor” session Monday afternoon. Prospects Bright for Freshman Golf Team With twenty-seven signed up for freshman golf, prospects for a suc cessful first year team and for a supply of varsity material'next year are looking bright. Some outstand ing aspirants who have considerable prestige as amateur golfers are signed up. They are: (Se-orge Will, Don Moe, and Wilson Johnston, all of Portland. Present plans include the sched uling of tournaments with other schools. Those signed up are as follows: Harold Dolf, Norman Eastman, Bill Whitley, Billy Knox, Art Ireland, Ed Latourette, Jesse Douglas, Wood ward Archer, Clayton Ilojberg, Pete Hollowell, Ford Smith, Kit Miller, George Will, Chandler Brown, Ed ward Fisher, Bob Hammond, Wilson McCook, Don Moe, Francis Andrews, Frances Heitkempcr, Wilson John son, Dick Marshall, Charles Barker, Don Johnson, James Dezendorf, and Jack Wilson. AGAIN—Today and Saturday— It continues to hold Eugene with its powerful ap peal such as few pictures have ever done. JOHN GILBERT GR.ETA GARJSO IN HEILIG Track Teams Clash Todav Intramural Meet Will Be Fast Affair,. Says Bill Hayward The trial events of the first in tramural track meet will bo held j this afternoon at ;i:30 on Hayward ! field. The final heats will be run off tomorrow. Races scheduled for today are the 75 yard dash, 220, 440, SSO, ami the mile. Prospects are fair for a clear day and a dry track, and, considering the times made during Bill Hayward winter meets in McArthur court, some fast events are expected. More interest lias been shown in track at Oregon this year than has been the case for' many years. This is ifue to the foresight of Bill Hay ward, track coach, in arranging for the series of indoor meets in the pavilion. Keen competition has been dis played among the men’s living or ganizations, and consequently some piomising material has been brought to the front. From these meets, Hayward hopes to stimulate enough interest in track to strengthen the varsity team for the conference campaign. Heretofore the Wcbfoot track stars have been inactive during the I winter months, but with the con struction of the indoor track, prac tice has been continued ail year. With the regular season close at hand, however, practice will bo changed to Hayward field. Today’s meet will have the same touch of color and spirit as any intercollegiate clash. Four organi zations, the Independents, Sigma Al pha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Delta Theta, are favored to carry eff the trophy cup. Football (Continued from pane one) ward Archer and Leon Steen, both 160 pounds. All of these will need considerable seasoning before be ing ready for varsity competition. It will be the wing positions where MeEwan will probably do most of his experimenting next, term and early next fall. La Selles Coles, I member of the super-varsity as a j halfback, is also being groomed as an end. He has shown considerable promise in this position. There is ! also some talk of trying out Everett : MeCutehan at end. MeCutehan won his letter ' at tackle last fall but was not out for this "term’s practice. This _ experiment would be well worth trying as MeCutehan has plenty of speed. Couple this with his heighth and his light and ho would be plenty antagonistic to op posing backfieldmen. * * # There will be plenty of weight in the tackle position* it' any of the freshman candidates are successful in landing a varsity berth. Austin Colbert, 185-pound tackle and for mer Eugene high star, is showing much promise. If lie is successful, George Christenson, 225 - pound tackle, will have the honor of be ing the heaviest player on the Web foot team next fall. After a slow start with the yearlings last fall, Christenson found himself and proved to be Billy Ileinhart’s most consistent line performer. Marion Hall, 200 pounds, and Kalph Bates, 218 pounds, are a couple of other heavyweights. * # # Guard and center reinforcements will come from .Terry Lillie, 180 pound guard; Ted Bark, 170-pound; Norman Jesse, 195, and Kormit Itagain, 200 - pound guardsman. George Chappell, regular 1927 frog man center, shows more premise of being George Stadolmau’s under study at center than any other gridster. * * * John Kitzmiller and Jolm Dono hue, 175 pounders, are good pros pects for halfback berths. Both showed considerable line plunging ability with the freshmen last fall. Ed Moeller is a good prospect at fullback. Bill 1’arke is an aspirant for quarterback and Don Kelly and Cecil Gabriel are two move prospects for halfback. Students Bombarded By Coach Edmundson UNIVERSITY OF WASHING TON, March 1— P. I. P.—While G000 University students were bask ing in warm sunshine Tuesday morn ing at 11, one-sixth as many Wash ingtonians at the A. S. U. W. as sembly heard their leisurely brothers outside bombarded in fiery language for lack of devotion to Alma Mater. Coach “Hoc” Edmundson, the tra ditional stormy petrel of activity assemblies, was the first speaker to break loose in denunciations of 1ho' neglect and lack of true Wash ington spirit displayed by those who were sunning themselves outside the walls of Meany hall. Darwin Meisnest, graduate man ager, in a short talk, emphasized tiro need of students excelling in but one activity, rather than taking part in too large a variety, thus keeping ethers out of the same fields.

Art Beihl, University champion Jtinds Right Tobacco for the Tropics October 6, 1926 Larus & Bro. Co. •* Richmond, Va., U. S. A.' Gentlemen: Most all well-known tobaccos smoke well in a cold or temperate climate, but very few in a tropical climate. They are mostly too heavy, don’t seem to be blended right—at least that is my opinion gained from practical ex perience. However, Edgeworth is the same in any climate. Again that is my opinion gained by practical experience. I cannot get the same pleasure out of any brand of tobacco that I can out of Edgeworth, and I have tried many —and paid fancy prices, too. It costs real money to smoke imported tobaccos here; the import duty is very high. Anyway, we cannot have everything we would like in these countries, so we hold on to all the little pleasures possi ble. Now you know why I smoke Edgeworth. Yours respectfully, R. C.
