Class Officers
To Be Elected
At Polls Today
Juniors To Vote in Villartl:
Frosh To Cast Ballots
In 202 Coinlon
SOPHS NOT ELECTING
Class Nominates But One
Candidate for Each
Position
Class politics will take the cen
ter of the stage today when polls
open at 9 o’clock for balloting on
next year’s senior and sophomore
class officers. Senior class elec
tions will be held in Villard hall,
and sophomore elections will be
held in room 202, Condon hall.
Polls will close promptly at 3
p. m.
^ No elections will be held by the
sophomore class, since Art Pot
win, Carolyn Haberlach, Alice
Wingate, and Joe Hughes were
the sole nominees for the four
junior class offices. This was def
initely determined at midnight of
Saturday, May 10, when the time
limit specified for the entering of
candidates in the race by petition
elapsed.
This is something unique in
campus elections, according to
Tom Stoddard, who declared that
inasmuch as there were no candi
dates opposing the four nominated
at the assembly held last Thurs
day and because the class had
made and passed a motion to de
clare the nominated candidates
unanimously elected if no further
candidates were nominated by pe
tition, the formality of an election
would be dispensed with.
The new junior class officers
are: Art Potwin, Salem, president;
^ Carolyn Haberlach, Tillamook,
’ vice-president; Alice Wingate,
Portland, secretary, and Joe
Hughes, Astoria, treasurer.
Candidates for senior offices
are: president, Joe Freck and Bill
Pittman; vice-president, Dorothy
Eberhard and Orpha Ager; secre
tary, Kathryn Langenberg; treas
urer, Gordon Gardner and Ken
Moore.
Freshmen will vote on the fol
lowing candidates for sophomore
officers for 1930-31: president,
Fred Hellberg and Jim Travis;
vice-president, Lucille Kraus and
Mary Lou Muncy; secretary, Mar
ian McIntyre and Ardis Ulrich;
treasurer, Bob Goodrich and Spec
Stevenson.
A. S. U. O. Cards Necessary
All freshmen who wish to vote
must present student body cards
at the door of the polls, or else
must be identified by someone
known to the judges, it was an
nounced last night by Bill Morgan,
'f chairman of the freshman election
committee.
This precaution has been taken
to prevent fraudulent voting, Mor
gan explained, and to minimize
the possibility of students voting
more than once. No electioneering
will be permitted inside the build
ing, he warned.
Clerks and judges for the soph
omore elections were named yes
terday by Morgan. Four clerks
and two judges will be on duty

Oregon Fencing Men Win Way to Top
In Northwest by Personal Initiative
Waggoner, Winetrout, and
Killion Coach Selves,
Pay Expenses, Defeat
For six months three Oregon
students fenced diligently in the
wrestling room of the men’s gym.
For a time they received instruc
tion from Warren Powell, a stu
dent himself and Northwest cham
pion last year, but as his studies
intervened the men were forced to
do their own coaching. They be
came the Oregon team without op
position.
At Corvallis Saturday this same
trio, Dick Waggoner, Lee Wine
I trout, and Dave Killion, met and
i defeated the best college swords
| men of the Northwest in a trian
gular meet between O. S. C., Ore
gon, and W. S. C. Dick Wag

fore this year, is now the individ

Oregon Leads List
Opposing Oregon in the tourney
were two schools having begin
ning and advanced classes in fenc

make the squad at Oregon State
and all ably coached by the vet

However, when the matches were
over Oregon was found at the head
of the list after winning 11 out
of 18 duels, O. S. C. breaking even
with nine victories and as many
defeats, while the Cougar swords
men accounted for only seven tri
umphs against 11 losses.

Oregon’s blade wielders paid

By BOB ALLEN
I met Senator Hall after church
Sunday and walked down to the
hotel with him. We talked about
various things, his wind-up cam
paign, his record in the senate,
but it wasn’t very interesting.
After we got in the lobby, we
found none of the davenports and
chairs vacant—and it was a good
thing, too, because Charles Hall,
candidate for Republican nomina
tion for governor, is at his best
seated in front of a desk. And
I a lobby writing desk was the only
place that was left.
After he had struck what ap
peared to be his typical business
pose, with a desk in front of him,
he seemed to open up, and it was
then that he became throughly
himself.
“Of course, as far as the Uni
versity is concerned,” he said, “my
record in the Oregon state senate
shows that I have been very favor
able—and there is another good
indication of my support of the
j University.” He pointed to Keith

Errors Give j
Webfoots Win
From Huskies
Came Goes Eleven Innings
Before Ducks Gain
7 to 6 Victory
TEAMS BATTLE TODAY
Oregon Leading Northern
Conference With
Five Wins
By PHIL COGSWELL
Oregon finally beat the Huskies
yesterday in eleven wild innings
of baseball, 7-6. The Webfoots
scored the winning run on three
Washington errors what a game!
By the victory, however, the Web
foots slipped into the undisputed
lead of the northern conference
with five wins against one defeat.
Washington grabbed the lead in
the first canto and held onto it
until the eighth. Three of the first
four men up banged singles off
MacDonald’s offerings and both
Wilson and Tollefson crossed the
plate.
Tollefson added another run to
the Purple's count in the third.
After doubling he tallied on Ste
ven’s boot. Oregon scored their
first one in the third, too. Kermit
Stevens drew a bye and Robie was
hit by the pitcher. Gabriel forced
Robie at second, but Stevens went
to third and scored on a passed
ball.
Londahl Scores
Gau's circuit blow in the first
half of the fifth with one on base
gave Washington two more runs.
Oregon came back in the last
half, however, with a pair of mark
ers. Londahl and MacDonald
singled, and Stevens walked to
crowd the bases. Robie Beat out
an infield hit to short, Londahl
scoring. Gabriel knocked out a
long fly which enabled MacDon
ald to tally after the catch.
The Webfoots kept after the
Huskies, making their total four
and coming up within one run of
Washington’s lead in the sixth.
Franny Andrews tripled to open
the Ducks’ half of this frame.
From here he trotted home on
Mimnaugh’s smash. Londahl hit
without doing any damage except
to send the Husky pitcher to the
showers. McLean, a left-hander
took Gau’s place in the box. Mac
Donald hit into a double play to
wipe out the side.
Seventh Canto Sloppy
The seventh was a slack inning,
but things livened up in the eighth,
when in the excitement Oregon
scored two runs and went into the
lead for the first time. With one
away, Andrews walked and Hoag
singled. Londahl fouled out, but
the Husky defense shattered,—a
couple of errors, and two runs
were in.
This should have made it the
Webfoots’ game. However, Wash
1 ington couldn’t give up, and in the
ninth W. Gau, who was the star
slugger for the northern crew,
i singled to score Nelson who was
camping on second at the time.
Tension High
The tension became high in the
eleventh, when MacDonald pur
posely walked Gau and then could
n’t keep from walking Hutchinson
to fill the bags. The "Big Train’’
had some stuff left, however, and
fanned Brown for the third out.
Washington went to pieces in the
Webfoot half. Barberis had a
tough time at second. Stevens was
safe on his error, and after Ro
bie’s sacrifice, Gabriel hit another
one to Barberis who scooped the
ball up—then dropped it. Stevens,
who was on second rounded third,
and raced for the plate. Barberis
picked the ball up and threw per
fectly to home in plenty of time,
but Kermit took a big slide and
when the dust had cleared away
there was the ball lying out on the
diamond. The catcher had dropped
it, and Oregon won.
The Huskies rested up for an
other game this afternoon on Rein
hart field by being guests at the
McDonald theater. Nevins, Wash
! ington's star, will probably hurl
for them today, while Ken Scales
without doubt will pitch for the
Webfoots.
