Order of 40’ Favors Tennis As Major Sport Question To lie Decided On Today at Joint Meeting of Councils By RICHARD II. SYRING Sports Editor The Order of the “0” is’ the lat cst organization on the campus to fall in line with the rising tide of sentiment in favor of making tennis a major sport and recognizing golf as a minor. At a meeting held yes terday afternoon, lettermen from all forms of sports on t h e campus -i passed a resolu- - tion unanimously in favor of the ■above. The reso i I II jui/iuit abates, “Resolved, That the Order of the 'O’ | go on record as favoring tennis as a major sport at the University of Oregon, and that the section in the constitution dealing with awards bo amended to include the following: Any representative of the varsity tennis team who shall win his match, either in singles or doubles, against any Pacific Coast confer ence college in which tennis is an acknowledged major sport, shall re ceive a major ‘O’.” This in itself is a big boost to the cause of tennis, a * * It is understood that one of the important items of business to be transacted today at the joint meet ing of the student and executive councils, is in regard to tennis and golf. The retiring members of both councils will be called upon to de cide whether tennis shall be a major sport, that it should be, and to de termine the status of golf on the Oregon campus. The joint meeting of the student and executive councils will not be going against the wishes of the ma ^ jority of the students whom they represent if they vote in favor of tennis and golf. Oregon students have come to the stage where they desire Lemon-Yellow athletic teams to have equal footing with those of other conference schools. It is true that Oregon weather does not permit tennis to be played the year around as in some other states. Climatic conditions are not the only elements that have hin dered tennis in Oregon. Tennis has not been given the recognition that it deserves. It is the duty of the student and executive councils to see that tennis and golf receive their just dues. Tennis in the state has been held down because of discouragement. Oregon state championships in ten nis have been, held since 1899 ex cept 1917 when the war caused the postponement of the annual tourna ment. During those 27 years only six singles championships were won by Oregon players. California play ers won more than the lion’s share , of honors, with Washington and Vancouver, B. C., coming in for some championships. Not since 1920 has an Oregon player won the singles champion ships. Phil Neer of Portland, a brother of Henry Neer, number one player on this year’s Webfoot ten nis team, was declared winner then.

Frosh To Play Rooks Today First of Four Games May Prove Tough Battle The frosh baseball team plays its j»rst*game against the O. S. C. rooks this afternoon at 3:30 on the varsi ty diamond. The game is the first to bo played with the state college first year men within the next two weeks. The frosli-rook baseball games are the most important games on the yearling’s schedule and the ones to which Spike Leslie, frosh coach, has been pointing his men since practice began. Last year the frosh took four games straight from the rooks. They may not bo able to duplicate the performance this year but the frosh are all set to trim the rooks in this afternoon’s tilt. Bloom', who-throws a fast hook, will start in the litcher’s box today. He pitched the fi st game with Mon mouth last week end and held the normal school players to seven Hits. Sussman will start the game at catch. So far this season the frosh have won three out of four games played. They won from Ashland normal 12-4 in the initial game of the season. Salem high school wrent down to de feat, 16-7 in the next tilt. Last Fri day and Saturday at Monmouth the yearling team dropped the first game 5-3, due to numerous errors, but made up for it by drubbing the nor-, mal school 11-0 in Saturday’s con test. Lineup for the game today is as follows: Bloom, pitcher; Sussman, catcher; Smith, first basp; Hilgers, second base; Andrews, short stop; Blackburn, third base; Olinger, left field; Barnes, center field; and Hande, right field. West Point to be Sponsored by Local Chapter of Mortar Board No, it won’t be The Big Parade, but just an army of hopeful young freshmen marching merrily on their way to one of the few events of the soho-ol j-ear for which they are ex cused from the musty confines of the study room or the scrutinizing eyes of upperclassmen at the library. You see, the presidents Of most of the living organizations are grant ing their freshmen special permis sion tonight to attend the showing of William Haines in “West Toint” at the Heilig, which is being spon I sored, this evening only, by the cam pus chapter of Mortar Board, na tional senior women’s honorary so ciety. Special features have been ar ranged for the evening performances by the Mortar Board members to assure students their money’s worth, Gladys Calef, president, has an nounced. The extra attractions will be Harriet Hawkins in a brand new original skit, excelling even “Margy” that was such an applause winner at the “Dream Follies.” The girls’ trio, with Marjorie Clark, Jo Balston and Louise Storla, will also appear with their melodious, har monious “Dream Follies” favorites. The University of Oregon chapter of Mortar Board is to be one of the hostesses at the national convention bf the organization to be held this summer at Yosemite National park. This will be an expense added to the usual one of sending a chapter delegate. “The way in which we perform our duties as joint hostesses with the other Pacific coast chapters will to a great extent affect the opinion of many college girls respecting our University,” Miss Calef stated. “It is Mortar Board’s purpose to repre sent the University of Oregon as well as it can possibly can, .both in its capacity as hostess and in the choice of its delegates to the con vention.” The junior woman who will be se-t to Yosemite will bo one of the new members who will be selected at the campus luncheon Junior Week-end. Kwama and T0-K0-I.0, sophomore honorary service groups, are sup porting Mortar Board in this pro ject, each member having tickets to sell in his or her respective houses and class rooms. The slogan they have adopted in selling the white tickets flanked with blue soldiers, is: “See a good show, with good features, for a good cause, at the Heilig Wednesday night.” Staff Named Bv Pangborn For Emerald Editor-elect Has Chosen Three Associates For Next Year Sclioeni Made Managing Editor; Pigney To Edit Sports Xinp members of the editorial board of tlie 1929 Emerald were ap pointed yesterday by Arden X. Pangborn, editor-elect. Tlio new officers, who will assume their du ties at the beginning of the fall term of school in September, are: Leonard Hagstrom, associate edi tor. Amos Burg, associate editor. Bill Haggerty, associate editor. Art Schoeni, managing editor. Carl Gregory, assistant managing editor. Joe Pigney, sporting editor. Mel Cohn, literary editor. Don Johnston, feature editor. Dorothy Baker, society editor. The appointment of three associ ate editors was decided upon after a great deal of consideration, ac cording to Pang born, and with the belief that it would stimulate the .Emerald edi torial columns through competi tion of the writ ers. The naming of three men for Pangbom mill; puaii/iuii is a, departure from Emerald policy of the past, only two associates having been chosen for last year, and only one for this year. Three Associates The three associates all have had a great deal of experience in various fields of editorial work, and each has had a slightly different back ground of experience outside the field of journalism. It was with the varied interests of the men in mind that Pangborn decided upon the three, he declared. Ilagstrom announced his candi dacy for the editorship of the Emer ald a couple of weeks ago, but -with drew from the race later. He has worked on Eugene papers as well as on the Emerald and is an enthusiastic student of economies in its relation to journalism. Haggerty has held practically every possible position on the Emerald staff, has a thorough working knowledge of the operation of the paper, and has made a special study of the editorial policies and the editorial writing of the big newspapers of the country, such as the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the Boston Transcript and the Kansas City Star. Burg is widely known on the coast for his travel articles, which have appeared in various magazines and in the Sunday supplement of the Oregon Daily Jaurnal. Ho has a -wide travel background and is considered the outstanding canoeist of the northwest, having made sev eral long can'oe trips, some -of which had not been attempted sinco the time of the Indians. He is consid ered, also, one of the leading stu dents of the trend of aviation on the campus. Schoeni Gets Position The appointment of Art Schoeni to the managing editorship was ex pected by many members of the Emehald staff. Schoeni gained a great deal of his experience on the staff of the Medford Daily News, where he has acted in several dif ferent capacities in the last few summer vacations. He, too, is fa miliar with the work of the Emer ald, having held numerous offiees on the staff. The only re-appointment made was that of the feature editor, Don Johnston, whose “Seven Seers” col umn has been one of the most read parts of the Emerald this year. Dorothy Baker, newly appointed so ciety editor, was day editor this year, and has been society editor on the Capital Journal and Oregon Statesman, Salem dailies. Carl Greg ory, assistant managing editor, worked this year as P. I. P. editor and recently was promoted to the telegraph editor’s chair. Joe Pigney, sporting editor, ac cording to Pangborn, is one of the outstanding prospective journalists of the “shack.” Mel Cohn, literary editor, though best known for his poetry, has a keen sense of appre ciation in other fields of literary work. Day of Plenteous Eats Is Friday> Says Head Of Campus Luncheon Take hoed all ye campus glut tos. Begin your annual fast for the campus day luncheon one day ear lier this year because Jo Ralston, chairman, has announced that the vast store of appetizing victuals will be served Friday from 11:30 to 1:30 instead of Saturday as has been the cm I in. The hungry sophomores returning from their final conquest of the I frosh and the hungrier first year men will complete their private feud ; just in time to partake of delicious repast spread before them by the juniors. Bub these are not the only ones. Everyone is cordially invited and Jo and her chief assistant, Edith Dodge, have promised to set up the eats for all, regardless of age or politics. And while ravenous appetites are being eliminated, there is going to be entertainment for all. Whether this is to be music, song or dance the reporter could .not ascertain yes terday but Jo promised to break down and tell everything tomorrow. Work Advances For Mothers’ Day Many Will Visit Oregon as Guests of Students With over one hundred reply cards, returned up to yesterday afternoon from mothers of Oregon students who plan to spend the coming week end on the University campus as guests of their sons and daughters and of the University, definite suc cess for the first Mother’s Day at the University can be counted on as far as the mothers are concerned. There is promise of many more re plies during the remainder of the week. Many committee workers under the direction of Luola Benge, general chairman of the affair, are also bringing their plans and work to a close, calculated to make the week end enjoyable. The reply cards ac companied letters sent from t(hc University to the mothers inviting them to the campus, and will be used in their registrat'on. Miss Benge st. ied the fact that although these letters were sent of ficially from the University and the committee in charge, every student should individually invite his moth er to the campus for the week-end, if he has not done so already. Stu dents will also be' responsible for sleeping rooms and all meals, except the campus luncheon on Saturday, during the stay of their mothers in Eugene, she said. A special section for the mothers at the canoe fete will not be arrang ed for, but the committee urges that students reserve seats immediately for their mothers in the regular re served seat section to insure them the best possible view of the fete. Students are asked by Dorothy Baker, chairman of registration, to see that their mothers are registered at the Administration building Fri day afternoon or Saturday morning. Juniors who will aid in the registra tion and the hours when they will work are: Friday, 1-2, Hermine Franz, Maryhelen Koupal; 2-3, Mir iam Shepherd, Muriel Bell; 3-4, Prudence Spight, Lueile Kellar; 4-5, Edith Fenwick, Ruth Ilansen; 5-6, Eunice Payne, Clara Green; Satur day, 9-10, Teresa Cooper, Virginia Iiunt; 10-11, Ruth Ray, Arncll Gil lett; 11-12, Maxine Paulsen, Ruby Russell.

Accountants To Meet In Corvallis Saturday Fifteen members of the local chap ter of Beta Alpha Psi, professional accounting fraternity, will go to Corvallis next Saturday for the an nual joint meeting with the Oregon Slate College chapter and the state society of certified public account ants. All arrangements for the 'banqut and the program are in charge of the Corvallis chapter. Last year the meeting was held in Portland with the society of accountants as hosts. Canoe Festival Is Christened Phantom Fete Mary Lou Dutton Keeps Decoration Motif Under Cover Awards To Be Presented To Floats Judged Winners Fantastic and ghostlike in the soft lighting effects and elaborate settings, the canoe fete has for the first time assumed a noinc dc plume. Henceforth, the members of tho committee wish to have this year’s event known as the “Phantom Fete,” a name which typifies and describes the entire motif of the decorations. Mary Lou Dutton, who with Ken ton Hamaker, is in charge of the decorations, is strictly secretive when any questions on how the mill race will be dressed Friday night are asked. Not only tho name but the whole affair has taken on a mysterious atmosphere which none but a select few have been able to penetrate. “Let it be sufficient for tho pres ent to say that the decorations will be something effective and unique,” was the statement <pf Miss Dutton yesterday. “The setting will be appropriate for any float no matter Ivow elaborate or fantastic it might be. The idea will in no way detract from tho floats but will enhance their beauty.” Awards Liberal Awards to tho 'winners will be more liberal this year than ever be fore, according to Agnes Chipping, who is in charge of this detail. The men’s house winning first will re ceive a twenty dollar receipt which will entitle it to any article at Wetherbec-Powcrs furniture store worth that amount. This award will be given in addition to tho cup for tho best float. Tho women’s organization coming in for high honors will get, in addi tion to a cup, a four-piece sjlvcr tea set with tray from Laraway’s jewelry store. The- house crest may bo engraved free of charge on each of the four pieces after the fete. Second prize winners among the men’s bouses will receive credit at McMorran and Wasliburne store for $12.50 worth of merchandise. The woman’s group taking second will receive a bronze candelabra from the Aladdin Gift Shop or any other article in the store for the same price. The two organizations lucky enough to- be awarded first prize will win back more than was origi nally invested in tho float. The rules specify that only thirty dollars may be invested in any one entry and the prizes total more than this with out the cup. Judges Announced Selections of the winners will be made by a judging committee com posed of Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, Mrs. A. II. Scliroff, Mary Jo Shelley, Doan E. L. Shirrell, Dr. C. V. Boyer, Prof. N. B. Zane and Mr. Earl M. Pallett. Tho directorate for tho Phantom Fete is made up of Roy Herndon, general chairman; Burt McElroy, as sistant; Elsie Goddard, secretary; Ronald McCreight, business man ager; Fred Meeds, lighting; Mary Lou Dutton, decorations; Tom Mont gomery, features; Sally Ilughson, lottery; Mae Tobin, programs; George Akers, grounds; Agnes Chip ping, judges and awards; Ernest Jachetta, advertising, and Vawter Parker, traffic. Scabbard and Blade Pledges To Entertain Martial law will reign over the University Friday when active mem heis of the local chapter of Scab bard and Blade, national honorary military organization, , are put through their initiation ceremonies. Pedestrians walking between the Ad ministration building and University street, between the library and the Oregon building and the library and Viliard are warned to acquaint them selves with the selected password or they are liable to be put in the guard house. Trim soldiers with guns on their shoulders will patrol these dis tricts. However, William C. Rutherford, captain of the organization, an nounces that the guns of those pat rolling will be only wooden ones and no one will be hurt by any stray bullets. Tsinan Evacuated by Nationalist Troops; Japanese in Control PEKIN, May 8—The Japanese wireless reports that tlie Nationalist army has evacuated the occupied zone in the Tsinan district, of China lut desultory fighting between the Nationalist and Jnpaneso troops con 1 in nodi The bravest, move in recent Chin ese history was made today when Japan formally announced the seiz ure of the Tsingtao; Tsinan rail read in Shangtung where National ist troops are driving toward Pe king.

Simultaneously with the announce ment. came news that fighting had recommenced at Tsinan between Na tionalists and the 3,000 Japanese troops defending the foreign quar ter. LONDON, May 8—The Tsingtao correspondent of the Manchester Guardian today advised tlint the latest clash between Japanese and Chinese troops at Tsinanfu ended r.t. 11 o’clock Monday night with the Japanese well in control of the situation. Sale of Tickets To Prom Begins More Assistance Wanted With Decorations Tickets to the Junior Prom Sat urday night will ho placed on sale today at the various living organiza tions and at the Co-op. Representa tives have been appointed in the men’s houses to handle the sales and purchases may be made right up until the time the dance begins. Tho price has been set at last year’s figure of $1.50. Few have answered tho call sent out by Bob Hynd, assistant chair man, to help put up the decorations for the dance. So far, most of tho response from the junior class has como from tho women while the men have made themselves exceedingly scarce around the igljo. If the proper cooperation is given, tho work will all be done before tho festivities of Junior Week-end begin, thereby pre venting tho usual eleventh hour finish. Tho oriental motif planned for tho dance will be further accented by a gigantic. Buddali gazing sullenly down on the crowd from tho south side of the court. Goorgo Mason, who constructed most of tho scenery for tho Dream Follies, is building this Chinese idol. It will stand over' twenty feet high and will bo about twenty feet thick at the base. - Odd colored lights playing on this imago will add a strango weirdness. Representatives in charge of tho ticket sales in tho houses include: Wendell Gray, Alpha Beta Chi; ^onard Hagstrom, Alpha Upsilon; Ronald McCreight, Alpha Tau Ome ga; Melvin Goodin, Beta Theta Pi; Bill Eddy, Chi Tsi; Francis Mc Kenna, Phi Kappa Psi; Bill Win ters, Sigma Chi; Louis Harthrong, Sigma Nu; Allen Boyden, Kappa Sigma; Art Schoeni, Sigma Pi Tau; Larry Ogle, Phi Sigma Kappa; Burr Abner, Theta Chi; Ralph Fisher, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Phil Holmes, Phi Delta Theta; Stuart MacDonald, Psi Kappa; Larry Thiolen, Bacli clordon; Robort Sargent, Phi Gamma Delta; Clark Price, Delta Tau Delta; Irving Pclz, Delta EpBilon; Fred Meeds, Sigma Phi.
