Interest in Ilia relay meet sponsored bv the University of Ore gon. has grown so r a ji i d 1 v in the three years that now practically every prep school r in the state sends Virgil Earl teams to compete. Lost year the entry list amounted to nearly X00 athletes, ami this year's number probably will eclipse the 192N mark. Virgil 1). Earl, director of athletics at, Oregon, who has general charge of the event, has-received, at. this early date, the applications of Id high schools. For several years Hie interest in track among high school athletes was on the decline. To revive the waning interest, and to establish team work in the usually highly individual sport, the Oregon inter scholastic relay carnival {was or ga nized. The plan was a tremendous suc cess even in its first year, and last season it reached a higher peak in development than was expected for several years. With the relay meet as their ultimate goal, the track men in the state high schools are now turning out in large numbers. The benefits of the carnival are not limited to track alone. In checking through the freshman reg istration list, many men, undoubted ly influenced hv their trip to the ^ relay meet, have entered the uni versity. The comparison between the Ore gon relay meet and meets held by other colleges also lias impressed visiting coaches and athletes with the advantages of the university. The manner of housing the athletes and conducting tlTem through the school has been as efficient as the track meet itself. The confusion of earing for MOO athletes which has been prevalent at other carnivals has been eliminated by the Oregon officials until now the meet is han dled in perfect order. The University of Oregon has done everything to make the relay carnival a success. All the officials are furnished, a cup is given to each winning relay team and to the winner of each special individual event. Members of the teams which place in the meet are presented with medals. Practically the only thing which the university does not guarantee is transportation to Eugene. There will be no admission charge made ^ at the gate for the meet as it is the desire of the officials to have the largest crowd possible. The high school athletes will have 12 events in which to compete. Seven of these events are for team races and the other five are for in (Continued on Pape Two} Drama Tourney For High Schools To Be Held Here Ten Prep Institutions Will Semi Aetors to Campus On April 4 to 6 The tliinl annual state high school drama tournament will he held at the University of Oregon April 4 to 0, Dr. Dan E.

Earl, director of ath letics at Hie uni versity, the south ern Oregon men tor, contrary to rumors, has not yet been offered the position as frosh football ami basketball coach, according to Joe Prink Callison McKeown, presi dent #of tho stu dont. body. Until tlio mooting of the athletic board at the Anchorage this noon, no definite arrangements will be made. Since the promotion of Bill "Rein hart to head varsity backfield coach, the job of directing the fresh man teams has been loft open. Cal lison, who is a former Oregon star, lias been considered by the athletic officials and perhaps is the most prominent of the‘applicants. Callison lias had an unusually successful record with his football, basketball, and baseball teams at Medford high school, lie competed for Oregon in ’IS, ’10, ’21, and ’22. In 1020 lie was a member of the Olympic club football team of San Francisco. Under Callison’s coaching Med ford high has lost only one football game since 1022, Callison’s first year, and has won the state title twice. His basketball team has twice won the state championship, was runner up once, and finished in third place two other years. Since 1022 Medford has captured all the southwestern Oregon major titles. Miss Collohan Spends ‘Measley9 Vacation After successfully weathering the wave, of epidemics which has en gulfed- thf* campus during the past year, and with which she came into close contact, Miss Margaret Collo han, head nurse of the infirmary, motored to Klamath Falls spring vacation, eagerly looking forward to a cjuiet rest from the ever im pending menace of the insidious microbes and the malicious germ. No sooner had she reached her destination, however, than the demon measles laid his hand upon her and she was forced to spend her vacation amid her usual sur roundings, the sick bed, the . hot water bottle, and the medicine bottle. She expects to return to the uni versity within a few days.

Worst Books Go ’144' Shop - keeper Genial A sign of unassuming appearance hanging over the sidewalk on West Seventh street, announces to the world that the dingy room behind it, lined with boohs, is the Oregon Book Exchange. Inside n genial book-seller allows his clientele to brouso among the rows of volumes, and encourages them to sit and read awhile, prof fering suggestions only when they arc solicited. He understands the value of books, both for reading matter and fine printing. Many students buy books there when they cannot find them else where in town. “The best sillers 1 have are the books that are worth the least,” he declared. “ The western thrillers, the cheap romances, any book with a love interest and filled with dare devil escapades sells like wild fire.” The shopkeeper has these books on band, he says, because it affords him the means of buying rare and beautiful works. His face lights up when he encounters another book lover, and lie draws carefully from his desk the editions which he prizes the most, to share the delight ex perienced in studying their pages. Tayiie, Voltaire, Huxley, and in gcrsoll find popularity among the students who frequent, his shop, al though some of the cheaper fiction appeals to scholarly taste, lie do ein rod. Booksellers would go hank nipt if it weren’t for Shakespeare and Zano Grey. Oregon Debaters Going to Nevada, Southwestern II.
