4 Tennis Should Have Major Sport Rating - * /Veer’s Record is Good aseda Hoop Team Enjoyed Coast Trip By RICHARD H. STRING Sports Editor Tf the University of Oregon ex pects to keep in stride athletically with the rest of the collesres and universities in the Pacific coast con ference, tennis must bo made a major sport. The University of Ore gon, along with her sister institu tion, Oregon State College, are tho only members of the coast confer ence tvlio have not elevated tennis to the major sport Henry Neer bn sis. Washington, Stanford, Cali * fornia, University of Southern Cali fornia and University of California, Los Angeles, award large insignia. Two weeks ago the University of Oregon tennis team returned from a trip into California where thely made a i creditable showing. Regardless of the fact that both matches were lost, one to Califor nia and Stanford, the performance of the Webfoots is regarded as re markable. Bad weather had kept the Lemon-yellow racquet wielders indoors until two days before leav ing for the south. Henry Heer, ranking number one player of the Webfoots, probably holds the distinction of having beat en Stanford more consecutively than any other Oregon athlete. Last year he defeated McElvenny, rank ing number eight player in the na tional intercollegiates and Stanford star. This year saw the diminutive Webfoot star take Alan Herring ton, Stanford captain and ranking player number five in the national * intercollegiates, down the line to a lose in two straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Several weeks before the Oregon match Herrington had beaten Ben Goreliakoff, Occidental star and ranking player number three in the national intercollegiates. Is it right that Oregon’s tennis players should bo discriminated against and awarded nothing better than a minor “0”? It cannot be said that interest in tennis is waning on the Oregon campus. The board of regents add ed impetus to this form of sport when they arranged, through an ad ditional assessment of one dollar fees, to open the courts free to all students. That Oregon students like to watch good, fast tennis was proven last May at the Pacific coast con ference championship tournament held on the local courts. Partici pants played before crowded gallery of Webfoot fans. The two large bleachers constructed along courts numbers one and five were filled to capacity. At a very near future the A. S. U. O. should make some provisions to reward Oregon tennis men as their competitors are recognized at their own schools in the coast con ference. The somewhat severe defeat giv en the Waseda University basket ball team here last winter was evi dently relished by the Japanese. At any rate, they hold no animos ity towards the University of Ore gon. Jack Benefiel, graduate man ager, received a letter several days ago from Soshima, director of the Waseda University’s coast basket ball tour. The letter, dated from Tokyo, Japan, goes on to say: “Our bas ketball team is very young in its (Continued on page two) Short Story Winner MISS FLORENCE HURLEY was unanimously judged the winner of the Edison-Marshall annual short story contest on her story, “The Log Line.” Twenty-eight manuscripts were entered for the award. Elect W. Norblad Intercollegiate Association Names Oregon Man Head Walter Norblad, secretary of the Oregon Knights, was elected presi dent. of the national Intercollegiate Association of KnightsNit the con vention held last Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Washington State College at Pullman. The organization at present is composed of more than 000 men, and made up 'of organizations of col legiate knights in eight colleges of Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. • Many petitions for membership in the national group have come to the association from colleges in all parts of the United States, but a policy of extensive ex pansion until the organization is strongly founded is not being pushed by the national. College groups in the East will probably be taken in within another year, however. The Intercollegiate Association of Knights was founded at the Univer sity of Washington in 1919, and-has ccme to be a strong and controlling organization of sophomore men on all campuses where it has been in stalled. About forty men compese the local group. Webfoot club to Elect New Officers Tonight Webfoot club, men’s independent organization, will hold election of officers for next yeae at a dinner to be held tonight at the College Side Inn. The club has sponsored several affairs this •year and has held bi-weekly dinners since the be ginning of the year. Plans for next year and topics of interest to the club Will be discussed at the dinner. Retiring officers, who have served this year, are: president, Mark Tay lor; vice-president, Roland Davis; secretary-treasurer, Warren Tinker; executive council, Melvin Cohn and Alson Bristol. Graduate Assistants In English Appointed Marjory Westcoit, of Ripon, Wis consin, and Dorothy Delzell, of the University of Oregon, have been ap pcinted graduate assistants in the English department, according to Dr. C. Y. Boyer, head of the department. Several more appointments are yet to be made. National Dutton Is Veteran *Outfielder and Possible Candidate for Third Base By CHAN BROWN A sure bid for the center field position with the Webfoot varsity, Harry DuttQn is also a candidate for the post at third base in case Dave Mason does not return in time for the coining season. Harry made his letter in the horsehide game last year and is expected to be one of j the mainstays of this spring ’g ag- ; gregation. Dutton is a senior in the school . of journalism# and is one of the i prominent members of the sports staff of the Emerald. He was re cently pledged and initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, international jour nalistic fraternity. In high school Harry played four j vears with the baseball team as j shortstop and alternate pitcher. He j was a member of every athletic j team of the Grass Valley school, but Dutton claims that the small number of boys in the school was the largest factor in his athletic success. As a member of the track team, Harry and one other track man went to Portland in 1924 to compete in the Columbia Univer sity state high school meet. They were successful in taking a second in the pole-vault and a third in the high-jump at this meet. Harry has also had some summer experience in the local leagues, playing for the last two years with the Eugene town team as an out fielder. He is a senior and a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Harry is twenty-two years old, weighs about 155 pounds and stands fjve feet eight inches in height. Greek Towns Destroyed by Earthquake: _ Corinth Devastated by Shock; Seven Persons Meet Death Citizens Terrorized by the Prisoners Roaming Barren Streets (By United Press) WASHINGTON, April 23.—Total j destruction of the town of Kalamaki, partial destruction of the ancient town of Corinth, and the summer resort Loutraki, with a loss of seven lives and injury of six persons, was the damage caused by the earth quake which devastated the Isthmus of Corinth in Greece Sunday night, an official dispatch to the Greek le gation and the Hellenic information bureau said tonight. (By United Press) ATHENS, April 23. — Reports from the district that was damaged by an earthquake over the week-end today indicated that Corinth was in ruins. It was not believed loss of life would be heavy inasmuch as many residents had fled the city before the major earth disturbances oc curred. The bathing station at Loutraki, near the Corinth canal, was reported destroyed and many hotels and the Casino' have collapsed. The canal was not damaged, but passage of vessels has been pro hibited for the time being as a pre cautionary measure. Advices here said the Corinth prison had been. destroyed and that the prisoners roamed at will through the stricken city. The population was terrorized.

Several houses collapsed and there was considerable new damage.

Varsity Netmen Will Meet Seattle Club Hopes that the Oregon varsity tennis schedule during the next two weeks would include practice matches to help condition the team, were dismissed last night when Cc#eh Edward Abercrombie an ncunced that the only non-conference tilts remaining before the Washing ton matches on May 5 would bo with the Seattle Tennis club, May 4. A change from the same squad that represented Oregon against California and Stanford earlier in the season is very 'unlikely, accord ing to the coach. This will leave Henry Neer, C'laire Hartman, Dick Edge, and Howard Shaw as the Web foot entries against the Huskies. Abercrombie is attempting to ar range a two-man match between the freshman teams of the two schools, with Almquist and Lockwood as likely representatives of the Web foot babes. These men, declared the coach, should hold their own against any freshman competition on the coast. Candidates Warned to Declare by Tomorrow All political aspirants for the coming student body elections, May 2, should formally announce their candidacy at the Emerald office to day or tomorrow, according to Ray Nash, editor. It is the custom for political candidates to present this announcement in person at the Em erald office before the nominating assembly, the editor stated. A list of the aspirants’ qualifica tions for office should also be pre sented. These will appear in the paper before the elections. Friday’s Emerald to Disill Rumors Which Reporter Ambushes Slipping, sliding, steadily gliding, keeping to the shadows, came the mysterious stranger—Rumor. Tight in his hand he held the secret, paper. Little recked lie that behind the pillar lurked an Emerald reporter whose nose was already twitching uncontrollably, scenting hot news. Crash—a piercing scream—silence. “What’s this—-dope on the house averages for the winter term?” cried the reporter, prying back the cold fingers of his nocturnal adver sary. Lighting a match and peering at the crumpled sheet—what’s this? So they lost the lead. And look at those boys—they’ve made house his tory. Well, can you beat it? And the new tail-enders.

The fraternities were on a par through out most of the meet, but the Betas stepped ahead in the relay event. Adams, Beta, and Pearson, Kap pa Sig, were the exceptions on their teams. The Betas won most of their points in the sprint’s, but Ad ams took first place in the javelin.

Height 6 Developments Planned For Girls’ League Oregon Delegates Back From Conference In Seattle Big Sister Movement Here Declared Superior By Leaders About seventy-five delegates rep resenting colleges and universities of the Western Division of the In tercollegiate Association of Women Students attended the conference held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week at the Univer sity of_Washington in Seattle. The conference was held partly in .joint session with ^meeting of the deans of women of the western colleges. Diegon was represented by Dean Vir ginia Judy Esterly, Hazel Prutsman, her assistant, Esther Hardy, presi dent of the Women's League, and Edith Dodge, president-elect. The western conference includes all colleges west of tho Mississippi river, but the University of Kansas was the only institution east of the Rockies to send delegates. The meeting next year will be national and will be held at the University of Oklahoma. The western confer ence will meet again the following year at the University of Wyoming. Both Miss Hardy and Miss Dodge hove come back to the Oregon cam pus with many plans and ideas for carrying out the work of the league here moiT: efficiently, although both report flic work of the local league comparing favorably with that of other colleges. Tho Biff Sister move ment on the Oregon campus is espe cially well developed, they say. To Establish Office As a result of the conference, an office for the league will be estab lished in the Woman’s building in the room which is known as the woman’s lounge. It will provido a definite place for the business of the league and a place where girls interested in the work may come to get started. Scheduled hours in the office will doubtlessly be kept by successive presidents. A book scheduling meetings of all women's organizations on the cam pus is also an outcome of the con vention and will be arranged soon to alleviate present conditions of many conflicting sessions. It will piobably be placed under the charge of the chairman of the activities committee and be kept in the Wo men’s League offices. ' Variety of Activities Here A notable difference in Women’s League work on the Oregon campus and that done at other schools is the placement of emphasis on dif ferent league activities, says Miss Hardy. The work of many of the leagues is taken up with details of discipline, while the Oregon women stress more constructive organiza tion by vocational research pro grams, and the foreign scholarship, according to her report. Neurly all of the leagues represented are fi nanced by budget from, the asso ciated students. Resolutions rccomi/fending the en couragement of scholarship by of fering awards, the establishment of organizations for independent wo men such as Phi Theta Upsilon on this campus, and participation ip freshman orientation week were passed by the conference. The con stitution was also revised. Paper Organized Plans for the establishment of a paper for the western conference, to be issued once or twice a term, were also effected. It will be edited by a delegate to be appointed by the president of the next conference, and will contain articles from the var ious colleges of the conference. Hues of the organization were raised to finance the paper. A committee appointed at this meeting of the conference will con sider the junior college problem to decide whether a separate confer ence will be established for junior college delegates, associate members a* present, or whether they will be admitted to full membership. The former action will probably be taken. Huffaker Addresses Oregon City Meeting Hr. C. A. Iluffaker, professor af education, went to Oregon City last night to address the meeting of the taxpayers on the finances of the Oregon City school system.

Ex-Oregon Man In World Dash Araki trying to Lower the Present Record Taieliiro Araki, a former student cf the University of Oregon, is racing around the world. He is one of the two men selected by the news paper Jijo Sliimpo of Tokio, Japan, for the around-the-world dash. Tho other man is Tatsukichi Matsui, a graduate of Keio University. The Aquitania is carrying Araki across the Atlantic ocean at the present time. Ho left Tokio on April 6. arrived in San ^Tincisco April 17, and hopped out of a mail plane at Hadley field, New Brunswick, N. ,T., April 19, two hours ahead of his schedule. Matsui is headed in the opposite direction in an effort to reach Tokio before Araki and win the prize of $1500 offered. Tho loser will get $500. Both men were furnished with $2000 each as expense money. The utilization of all modern means of transportation with tho least possible expense and greatest speed is the main object of the race. Both men are striving to lower the existing around-the-world record made in 1913, 35 days 21 hours 3(i ■seconds. A. R. Sweetser Writes Wild Flower Articles Aii article on the wild flowers of Oregon by Professor A. R. Sweet ser, head of the botany department, is one of the features of the April issue of the “Oregon Motorist.” A plea for the preservation of wild flowers along the highways forms the basis of his discussion. Tho common flowers now in dan ger are described and three meth ods for preserving them are given. They arc: Conservation, education and legal protection. Professor Sweetser is also writ ing a floral calendar of Oregon which will appear in the Eugene Morning Register. Each Sunday a picture of some flower in bloom and a short description of it will be run in the paper. Last Sunday the ar ticle was on the common cone bear ing plants in Oregon. Students in Professor Sweetser’s classes will make the drawings for the illustra tions. Dream Follies Disagreement Is Boomerang Vodvil Price Squabble Settled in Favor Of Juniors Arbitration Courts View Squelches Contention Of Council By B. N. Only in a case where class activity would injure the entire student body loes the student council have a con stitutional right, to interfere. This was the decision handed down by the arbitration court yesterday after deliberating over the dispute be tween the student council and the Junior Week-end directorate. The occasion for this test case grew out of the price-boost to $1.50 for tickets to the Dream Follies. Student councilors thought it too much and legislated to force a cut last Wednesday. Since the plans were all laid and equipment con tracted, however, the juniors suc ceeded in having the measure with drawn. But the student council still smarted under the cockiness dis played in the face of student ad ministrative dignity, so it suggested a hearing to sanction or condemn its action in the light of the constitu tion. The board condemned it. An unqualified victory cannot bo claimed for either faction involved because tho committee of arbitration showed that, after all, the deter mining authority lies in tho coun cil, although in this particular case it overestimated tho degree of jeopardy in which the general stu dent interest was placed by tho juniors’ rising prices. But ordinar ily tho council can proceed with re strictive legislation whenever stu dent welfare, broadly interpreted, can be shown to bo at stake. “The criterion which should guide the student council as to where it should take jurisdiction and inter feio with class and other grou'p activities would seem, according to sound construction aj: the constitu tion, to be this: if the class or par ticular group may conceivably bo acting reasonably with respect to student welfare as a whole, then tho student council should not inter fere,” the report reads in part. “When reasonable men may differ as to whether the welfare of tho group is detrimentally affected, tho student council should not inter fere.4 btuilent council members, how ever, must shoulder the responsibil ity of judging whether an action is going to impair the rights of tho student? body. “If it comes to the attention of the student council that proposed activities on the part of a class or group are unquestionably in opposi tion to tho welfare of the student body, it is, in tho opinion of tho committee, the province of tho council to decree against it.” Incidental to the main purpose of the hearing, was the questioning of a student body provision which re quires each class to submit a bud get to the council for.approval be fore undertaking an activity. Tho arbitration court found this ruling unconstitutional. “Tho committee does not feel that the student council has any power to require a class to submit its bud get for a proposed class activity, for its approval or rejection. If it seems doubtful to the class officers or others in charge of such a pro gram whether or not the particular undertaking is so out of the ordi nary as to be possible of being in terpreted as unreasonable by the stu (Continucd on page two) fDream Follies9 Rehearsal Goes Over Big; Repertoire Bag Filled By ARDEN X. PANGBORN Tlio man who wrote that song . about being “crazy over horses” ! must have been thinking about the pony chorus. All the bald-headed men in Eugene—according to Billy “Ziegfield” O’Bryant, who is di recting the “Dream Follies” of which the ponies are an integral part—will be in the front rows at the lleilig when the show opens next Friday night. And not only that, either, for Billy says that a good j many of them will be glad of the chance to spend a second dollar- ' fifty on Saturday. A dollar and a half is a lot of money, as the junior class has found out in the last few days. It will ; buy a good necktie, a fair meal or three rides to the depot in a taxi. I When it comes right down to figur ing out just how much three halves will purchase,* probably not even Prof. DeCou could decide. How ever, it’s certain that somewhere near the top of the “buying poten tiality” column stands one of those little pasteboards marked “Dream Follies, Admit One.” Proof? Well, there was another rehearsal on Sunday. Last week an Emerald reporter by the use of means known only to those few who feel it en tirely unfitting and improper to pay for anything, squeezed into the Heilig at the first dress rehearsal. The rehearsal went over big; the resultant enthusiasm found its way into typo and the gate crashing was superceded by a much more digni (ConUnuccl on page four)
