Old-Golfers Out-Do New Heads Emerald Officials Write Own Reports By ART SCHOENI Due to wonderful golf played by Art Schoeni, the golf two some of Schoeni and Bill Ham mond defeated next year’s Em erald editor and and manager, Vinton Hall and Tony Peterson, Satur day by two strokes on '' Vt— the ninth hole. “Suresllce” Hammond Schoenl proved a wash out and only the consistent 12’s rung up by Schoeni on each hole saved the day. The $3.50 dinner the losers set up for the winners was swell. • * * By BILL HAMMOND Like, Art, The Great Shires, I am modest, but it was only my wonderful mashie shots that off set the terrible slices made by my part ner, Schoeni, and won the great Emerald golf match Satur day. I owe it v* •SJI/'T/ VP" all to Grantland “Hayseed” rtice’s talkies on Hammond how to play golf. Two years ago when I stepped up to the tee and swung at ball everyone behind me laugh ed. Saturday they all ducked. By VINTON HALL Smashing the ball right on the nose every shot, never dubbing. That is the way Vinton Hall plays golf, and if it hadn’t been for his chop p i n g partner, Tony Peterson, the new offi cers of the Em erald would ' have sailed “Hoopltup” away to victory Hall in grand style over their opponents, Art Schoeni and Bill Hammond. Take Hall’s three easy lessons in “How to Play Golf,” and be popular. Learn Hall’s grace and form. * * * By TONV PETERSON His great golf, his untiring ef forts were to no avail. Tony Pe terson’s beautiful drives and ap proach shots were ruined by Hall’s fool putts. Hall’s driv e s were foul, too. Ham mond kept score, which was reason "Pansy” enough that we Peterson lost. Peterson's and Hall’s motto: ‘‘Better golf af ter a year in office.” (Note: Hall will have to quit his slashing ways or Peterson won’t play any more.) Busy Co-eds Best Scholars, Survey Shows Most Active Women Carry Heaviest Schedule, Report Revealss OUTLET FOR ENERGY Most Students Waste 58 Hours Per Term, Says Taylor By IUTFUS KIMBALL Contrary to the convictions of many University officials and oth ers, it has been found in an ex tensive research, taking in the rec ords of 1225 women students at the University of Oregon, that participation in activities does not interfere with scholastic work. Co-eds who engage in extracur ricular work not only make better grades but carry, on an average, a heavier scholastic load, the re port shows. Though the correla tion is slight, it manifests itself consistently, even to the students’ high school records. Data for the survey were gath ered by the dean of women's of fice, in a questionnaire covering fall term of 1929, and compiled by Dr. Howard R. Taylor, head of the personnel bureau. Much Time Wasted "There is a slight tendecy, Dr. Taylor said yesterday, "for girls spending more than the average number of hours per term in ac tivities to make better than aver age grades. This finding suggests that if all activities were abol ished, as has been proposed at va rious times, no notable gain in scholarship would result. "The relationships brought out mean in general that women neither cut down on their term hours nor slight the quality of their scholastic work in order to take part in activities. No doubt certain individuals do, but these cases are offset by the large num ber of women who carry more than the average load in both scholastic work and activities.” Factor Explained One factor which might account for these results, Dr. Taylor ex plained, is the fact that only cer tain specified lines of endeavor were taken into consideration in the suileey. "The kind of activi ties surveyed,” he said, "are not very strong competitors for the students' time. Dating out, an ac tivity which we were unable to tabulate, probably has a more di rect relation to scholastic records.” Dr. Taylor expressed an opinion that if college women were not allowed to take part in activities, the extra time would not be spent on school work. Two Types of Students Campus affairs, Dr. Taylor be lieves, are carried on by men and women falling under two general types—bright and capable stu dents who need an extra outlet for their energy and talents; and people who, getting little or no satisfaction from their scholastic work, turn to activities as a re lief. “It is more a question of en ergy,” he said, "than one of intel lectual ability. Students who are ambitious enough to get into ac tivities, sacrificing certain other phases of college life, are those who carry full loads of school work. Through efficient budget ing of their time, they are able to keep up in both. "Many, on the other hand, are 'social-minded,' while others are merely lazy. Most students waste enough time each term to put in 58 hours on extracurricular accom plishments.” In the actual recording of the results of Dean Esterly’s question naire, Dr. Taylor paired two groups of 48 women each, keeping the average intelligence test score and the average high school rat ing, as well as the general run of classes and major subjects, the same in both groups. In one group the average amount of time spent on activities during fall term was 53 hours apiece; in the other, there were no activities. In the activity group, the grade average for the term was 2.75, as compared with an average of 3.02 for the 48 inactive co-eds. Group I carried an average of 15.69 term hours, as ugainst 15.44 for i group II. Steps Being Taken To Cinch Acceptance Of Hill’s New Mark i Hoeber Takes Over Ross on’s Class in Law nALPH C.

Oval Survey Undertaken By Engineer Watches Used in Timing Record Mile Found To Be Accurate Webfoot Miler Will Race Again Saturday Work on the survey of the Hay ward field oval which was started yesterday by William Clubb, city engineer of Eugene, will be re sumed today. This survey is a part of the procedure necessary to insure the acceptance by the A. A. U. of the new record in the mile set last Saturday by Ralph Hill. To secure official sanction for the record many steps have to be taken, one of which is already complete. This is the checking of the three watches used in timing the event. The watches were checked by a downtown jeweler and found to be accurate. This information with the affidavits of the timers, Jack Luckey, Gilbert Hermance, and Art Morris, to gether with a signed statement by the referee of the meet, Doc Spears, will be sent to Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chi cago, chairman of the records committee of the Amateur Ath letic Union. To Run Saturday The survey of the track which is being conducted is to insure that the track is of regulation dis tance. The holder of the new record will be seen in action again this Saturday when the Webfoots meet the Oregon State Beavers on the Corvallis oval. He will also race in the Northwest meet. In this meet the tilt for supremacy be tween Ralph Hill and Rufus Kiser, the Husky star, will be resumed. May Go East At the present time it is ex pected that due to the exceptional showing of the Lemon and Green men last week, a squad would be taken east to the meeting of the I. C. A. A. A. A. Prom the show ing made Saturday it is expected that the squad taken will include Ralph Hill who will run the mile and 880 events, and Clarence Hill, whose specialty is the two mile. In the excitement of the showing made by the younger brother of the Hill family it was almost overlooked that the older member ran a remarkable race. He is the fastest two-miler on the coast at the present moment and it looks as if he would reign su preme this season. Others who will in all probabil ity make the trip are Tom Moran who took first in the 880 last Sat urday, Tyrrel Lowry, Claire Mc Kinnon, and Ed Moeller. The T51g eastern meet will be run off June 6 and 7. Sunday Concerts Contain Interest Band Concert Next to Last Of Season A violin recital by Mabel Hol lander and the third of the popu lar University of Oregon outdoor band concerts made Sunday an in | teresting day musically.
