COLONIAL TODAY STARTING SUNDAY— i&i A trio of sensational hits— "Devil’s Holiday,” "Laughter” —and NOW PHILLIPS HOLMES 5foien Heaven G Qaramount Qicture 25c p I i Oregon, OSC :j Vie Today in Dual Net Meet . Matches To Be Played Here On University Tennis i Courts Varsity Contests Scheduled For 2 P. M.; Frosh To Battle at 10 A. M. The Oregon varsity and fresh man tennis squads meet Oregon State teams in a dual meet here today. The matches will be played on the University tennis courts, with the frosh of both squads slat ed to start play at 10 a. m. and the varsity aggregations sched uled to begin their battles at 2 p. m. There will be five singles and two doubles matches each in the varsity and freshman meets. The Webfoot varsity netmen to play the singles tilts are Jack Rhine, Joe Kalisky, Tom Mountain, 1 Ray Adams, and Del Thom. The two doubles teams are the Rhine Kalisky and Mountain-Adams com binations. The Beaver varsity net squad will probably consist of five men. The Oregon yearlings who will ■ play the singles contests are Bob Johnson, Don Lewis, Dick Gold ; thwaite, Jim Edmiston, and Darrell Cornell. The doubles team’s to op pose the rook combinations are the Johnson-Lewis and Goldthwaite Edmiston pairings. The rook squad will probably be made up of five raquet wielders.

LaureluiooO Two World Beaters This is Bill Hayward, trainer of many champions, with his present, and probably greatest, protege of them all, Ralph Hill, world’s mile champion. This afternoon is the last time Ralph will carry the Webfoot colors on Hayward field. Ralph Hill Quietly Confident He May Break Mark Again “I can do it.” This was the assertion of Ralph Hill, holder of the world's inter collegiate mile record, when he was asked if he thought he could break the world's all-time record of four minutes, ten and two-thirds seconds, set several years ago by Paavo Nurmi, premier Finnish runner. Hill was not boasting. He is not the type that would, despite the fact that he has all the reason in the world to do so. Rather, he was just commenting—commenting on his pace and the fact that he has perfected that pace to exact tim ing—a thing not many distance runners can do. The great runner was talking to a group of interested men in the Ig loo, when someone asked him whether he would try to break his own record, a mark some two sec onds slower than Nurmi’s. Coupled with Hill’s belief that he has even a faster race ‘‘in him” than the one in which he set his record, was Hayward’s statement. “Hill has one good race in him each year,” Bill said. “And in that one race he is so good that he is apt(to break any record.” Whether Hill can best his old mark and break that of Nurmi's is a question which only the runner himself can decide. He thinks he can, and Hayward backs him up. Hayward seems to back Hill in anything—that is the way he timed his pace to perfection in the mile during his record run last year. The two always work together as though they were both running to gether. Unassuming perhaps, and just a little shy, Hill is lean, lanky, and still very much of a youth. Only the other day when a professor in one of Hill’s classes commented on his feat of holding the world’s rec ord and still maintaining a scho lastic average which admitted him to Phi Beta Kappa, the track star reddened. Hill does not go in for publicity. His quiet manner is in dicative of his real self—studious and conscientious. Honoraries Slate Big Get-Together Banquet Tuesday Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi Expect 125 Guests for Initiations The Phi Beta Kappa-Sigma Xi joint banquet to be held Tuesday night at the Osburn hotel will mark the annual pre-initiation get together of the two honoraries. Sigma Xi, national scientific hon orary, will this year be the guests of the scholastic honorary, as Phi Beta Kappa members will arrange the banquet and draw up the pro gram. Visiting members of Sigma Xi are coming from the Oregon State college chapter and from the Uni versity of Oregon medical school chapter at Portland. Advance res ervations indicate that over 125 guests will come from these two chapters to the meeting here. Initiations Precede Initiations for the two honor aries will take place Tuesday af ternoon preceding the banquet. Thirty-four pledges to Sigma Xi will receive membership at 5 o’clock in the men’s lounge at Ger linger building, while the 25 Phi Beta Kappa pledges will be init iated at 5:15 in alumni hall. Of the Sigma Xi new members, 11 will be active members and 23 asso ciate members. The program for the banquet calls for toast speeches from John Mueller, president of Phi Beta Kappa, and A. Pw Sweetser, presi dent of Sigma Xi, to be followed by short responses from eacn of the newly elected members. Dr. Carl Doney, president of Willamette university, will give the main ad dress of the evening. Address To Be Public The banquet, for which tickets are selling for $1, is open only to members of the honoraries, and is scheduled to begin at 6:30.

JIM TRAVIS ASKS FOR STUDENT COOPERATION (Continued from Page One) New York City. He has been suc cessfully associated with Boy Scout camp work of this sort for the last few years. The position of finance officer, Travis believes, is one of impor tance to the University. The junior finance man is the only student of ficer outside of members of the Co op board who holds office for two years. In the first year, he points out, he will be able to get enough background to help administer A. S. U. O. finances intelligently and efficiently. A closer cooperation between student officers and the personnel of the graduate mana ger's office would, he believes, go a long way towards clarifying the financial situation of the student body. Travis has held many commit tee and class offices in his two years at the University. In addi tion to junior finance officer, he was chairman of the frosh bonfire in his freshman year, and was pres ident of the . ophomore class this year. Cosmopolites of Three Campuses To Frolic Today University, O.S.C., Albany Chibs Hold Eighth Annual Picnic A joint picnic and get-together will be held by the University Cos mopolitan club, and the Cosmopoli I tan clubs from Oregon State col lege and Albany college at Idle wood park this afternoon, accord ing to Edna Spenker, president of the Oregon group. This picnic, which is an annual affair, has been held by the clubs ; of the two state institutions for I the past eight years. This is the first year in which the Albany club has participated. Only those who have signed up may come, Clare Maertens, secre : tary, announced last night, due to the lack of adequate transporta tion. Thirty members of the local group have made arrangements to go. Those going will leave the International house at 1:30 this afternoon. The afternoon will be spent in contests and stunts. Each club presents a stunt, and a baseball game between the groups is the feature of the day. A picnic sup per will be served at 5 o’clock. The members of the committee from the Oregon club are Mildred McGee, stunts; Max Pidido, base ball game; Dorothy Foote, food; and Lois Greenwood, transporta tion. The local Cosmopolitan club held a picnic last Tuesday evening at the home of J. A. Cressy on Col lege Crest. At this meeting Dr. Warren D. Smith showed the club his pictures on South America, and 1 served them with Paraguay tea. Roger Pfaff, member of the club, told of his trip around the Pacific basin, which he will take as a member of the debate squad. An innovation at this meeting was the singing of songs under the leadership of Francis Jones, newly appointed song chairman. It was announced that Mildred Whar ton has been put in charge of a committee to compose songs for the club. At the last executive council meeting of the club the nominat ing committee for next year’s of ficers was chosen. This consists of Dorothy Davidson, chairman; Jose Pimental, Mildred McGee, Bobby Robinson, and Dr. L. O. Wright, faculty adviser. The next meeting of the club, June 2, will have a Hawaiian motif. Seven Women Chosen Seven new members have been initiated into Samara, women’s b6tany honorary. They are Eliz abeth Hall, Anna Evans, Miriam Stafford, Virginia Stanton, La verne Stone, Helen Smith, and Florence Woughter. a j I i ' PHILOGRAMS ♦ ♦ SPOT DOPE ON PORT NEWS By Phil Cogswell Miss It at Your Risk— When you think of all the years, and all the track men that have been competing throughout them since they have been keeping rec ords, it makes you sit up and take notice to think that right'out here on Hayward field this afternoon there is a possibility of some Web foot or Beaver man surpassing an all-time mark. We remember how many people were disappointed last year because they didn’t turn out to see the meet in which Ralph Hill crashed the world’s intercol legiate record in the mile. There is a possibility that it may be bad weather this afternoon, but any one who wants to be certain of not missing a great performance had better be in the grandstand, j # # * Last Appearances— Another thing we have to no tice, and with regret, is that today will be the last local appearance on Hayward field of three of the greatest track men Oregon has ever had. Unless you go to the Northwest championship meet next week at Seattle, it will be your last chance to see Ed Moeller put his strength behind the discus throw, the last time to see Bobby Robinson flash down the runway and leap high into the air and over the pole-vault bar, and your last opportunity to see the slim Ralph Hill set that torrid pace of his around the four laps of the mile. * * * We’re Betting on Hayward Today’s meet seems to be all ] even as far as dope is concerned, but we have a feeling that unless the breaks go haywire, or to the Staters completely, foxy old Bill Hayward will manage somehow to win. What is going to make the meet thrilling will possibly not be the feats of the great stars, but instead, the several races in which the two teams are very closely matched. And then there’s the chance always of a surprise, soma man stepping out to do far better than he has ever done before. * • * Ball Club Returns— We're glad to welcome back the Webfoat baseball team which has redeemed itself by playing some bang-up ball, or at least victorious ball, which is what counts at this time of the year. Oregon lost the first and last games on their road trip, but won the four in between. Let’s see, that puts them at .500. There are still two games left, both are with the Oregon Staters, and will be played next week, one here and one at Corvallis. From all accounts the players socked the ball all over the country up north. Shaneman, Londahl, and Stevens did extra heavy slugging. Psych Finals To Be Given Beck, Seashore Final r-.~ degree examina tions in psychology will be given to Lester Beck and Sig Seashore, graduate students, on June 1 and 3, respectively. Both examinations will be given in Room 324 Condon from 3 to 5 o’clock, and are open to anyone interested. Preliminary examinations were given yesterday afternoon to Don ald Swanson and Ivan McCollom. Ralph Wickersham and Mabel Cross took theirs yesterday. 1 Dr. Ella C.
