i Oregon Looms As Contender ForfrackTitle Victory Over Oregon State Last Saturday Raises Duck Standing Hayward’s Athletes Are To Enter N. W. Conference Meet at Seattle Oregon's surprising victory over Oregon State’s track and field stars last Saturday on Hayward 1 field by a 78 1-2 to 52 1-2 score, stamps Bill Hayward's 1931 aggre gation of athletes as a serious con tender for Northwest division con ference honors next Friday and Saturday at Seattle. The high light of the meet was Bobby Robinson’s attempt to break the world’s pole vault record of 14 feet 1 1-2 inches. After setting a new Northwest record of 13 feet1 4 1-2 inches Robinson made six at tempts to dear 14 feet 2 inches. His first try was so close that the large crowd stood in suspense as he skimmed the bar only to knock it off with his chest as he came down. His other five attempts were futile.

Art Holman, sopho more, lopped six-tenths of a sec ond off the 220-yard hurdles marl when he turned a mark of 24.4 t( start the record breaking. Hubert Allen put the seconc new mark on the books when he broad-jumped 23 feet 5 inches tc better the old mark set in 1927 ol 23 feet 3 1-2 inches. Perhaps the most thrilling event of the day was when the mile-relaj which the Oregon quartet of Roll wage, Dolloff, Marrs, and Holman won. In order to defeat the fine Orange team, which was favored to take the event, the Webfoots had to set a new meet record of 3:22, bettering the former record of 3:26, set by Oregon State in 1927. Holman Stars in Relay Here again Holman starred. Running anchor for the Webfoots, Holman was about three yards be hind Kirk, Beaver anchor man, as they started the final lap. In a beautiful sprint on the last straightaway Holman passed him to win by more than five yards. While Oregon was given a slight edge over their rivals, few expect ed such a decisive victory. Five events which the Staters were fa vored to win went to Oregon. Only one—the 440-yard dash—was un expectedly won by the Beavers. The Webfoots will leave Thurs day night for the conference meet at Seattle. The list of entrants has not yet been decided by Hay ward. Pob Near Takes All-Campus Golf Title 8-Up and 7 Bill Grigsby Eliminated in Thirty-Six Hole Duel At Country Club The Near brothers made a clean sweep of the all-campus golf tour neys, Bob Near stroking to a crushing victory over Bill Grigsby at the Eugene Country club Sun day while Dick Near, frosh links star, captured the fall tourney. Grigsby made a determined bid in the morning round, his card showing a total of 78 strokes, but Near came within two of par with his 74. He demonstrated even more j sensational golf in the afternoon eighteen and Grigsby conceded the match on the 29th green where he was eight down. The winner col lected seven birdies on the 29 holes and shot an even par in the after noon. Much of this interest in golf is due to the work of Art Ireland, golf instructor and finalist in the 1930 state southpaw tournament, who has supervised the playing and scheduling.

Ageut Phone 140 Portland PHONE 140 PHILOeRAMS ♦ - SPOT DOPE ON PORT NEWS By Phil Cogswell Why No Popularity?— Wonder if the reason that track meets in the Northwest are so poorly attended can be that they aren't given enough ballyhoo. Take for example the meet with Oregon j State here last Saturday. Why were there only about 500 people jout to watch it? When Stanford and Southern California compete against each other in track, the crowd is apt to total 20,000. These i southern schools have great track teams, to be sure, but we have a few stars ourselves. Enough to give any audience a thrill. * * A Speedy Meet— One thing that has been argued unfavorable to track meets is that they are too long. Well, we’re mighty glad to emphasize the fact that this last meet was run off, all 15 events, in a little less than two hours. This is much less time than the average baseball game takes, less than a football game, hardly more than a basketball game. If the meets in the future are handled as well, and they should be, perhaps a few more of our industrious students will be able to spare the time to watch their own athletes breaking world records and such things. You Missed Something— We cannot see any reason for the lack of interest in track ex cept that it isn’t advertised. Cer tainly the meets are interesting enough. Just to see Bob Robinson trying for that world record in the pole-vault last Saturday was won derful. Every person in Hayward field held his breath when Bobby went soaring into the air. Then after seeing Hubert Allen jump al most out of the broad jump pit, a spectacular leap that set a new record, and watching Holman, Hill, Siegmund, Moran, Starr, Steele, and all the rest of them, it makes us sorry that so many missed that last meet. * « « A Track Man— It is fitting to make an attempt to pay tribute to these Oregon track men. First, we might de scribe an example of one of them. Take an average athlete who tiains diligently, works hard, de velops a real fighting spirit, and a well-rounded conception of sports manship, multiply all these attri butes by three and you have—a good track man. * * * Real Heroism— Only a track man himself, one who has made that last hundred yards when he didn’t have the strength to take another step, but ran what was left on fight alone, can appreciate what a track man rcially goes through. The rest of us can admire them, though, for the honor they bring the school, and doubly respect them, realizing that they toil to perform feats that are not primarily offered for the benefit of the grandstand. This, we believe, is the real es sence of heroism. Laurin Wins First Prize in Public Speaking Contest Laurance, Kleinegger, and Frazier Given Other Three Awards Leo Laurin, freshman in business administration, won the first prize of $35 in the second of the W. F. Jewett public speaking contests held yesterday for members of the introductory speech course. The participants were allowed to speak for six minutes on any subject they desired. Mr. Laurin chose “Memorial Day,” speaking of the services rendered by our soldiers and the honor that is due them. The second prize of $25 was won by Frances Frazier, freshman in Eiglish, who spoke on “And Still the Wonder Grows.” Miss Frazier was the only girl to place, and talked concerning the wonders of modern science with all its new in ventions. Wallace Laurance, soph omore in pre-law, received third prize of $15, speaking on "The Why of Safety First.” He main tained that an assumed attitude of courage has led to modern day carelessness in driving. Charles Kleinegger, freshman in pre-law, speaking on “We Must Raze the Tariff,” won fourth prize of $10. A large range of topics was cov ered by the 11 contestants, includ ing discussions of thinking, literary subjects, political parties, science, and war. The judges were Dr. D. E. Clark, professor of history, Wal ter Durgan, third-year law, and Joe McKeown, second-year law. CLASS LEADERS WILL BE NAMED AT POLLS TODAY (Continued from Page One) ceedingly important factor in the outcome of the balloting. Another problem which calls for its share of consideration is that of holding the support in line for the straight ticket. This is usually rather a difficult task in class elections because of the lack of interest and the small amount of large-scale campaigning which is done. It is rather doubtful that every ticket will be elected intact, because while each ticket boasts strong candidates, no ticket seems to have such unanimous strength as to insure its election complete. Election Chairmen Named Election chairmen, chosen by the class presidents, are as follow: Juniors, Jack Stipe; sophomores, Larry Bay; freshmen, George Hib bard. Stipe has named the following election board to have charge of the voting today: 9-10, Helen Louise Martindale and Madolyn Snider; 10-11, Jessie Foley and Jim Landye; 11-12, Zora Beaman and Barney Miller; 12-1, Alladine Hol lister and Marian Camp; 1-2, Le nore Ely and Allan Bean; 2-3, Eliz abeth Fletcher and Ferd Fletcher.

Oregon Nine Is Back After Winning Trip — 1931 Season To Terminate This Week-End With Beaver Games Four Out of Six Grabbed On Annual Road Journey • \ By JI MYKRGEN The Oregon baseball team, pi loted by Bill Reinhart, cast anchor at the home port last week-end after six stormy battles at north ern harbors. In the first encoun ter on Puget Sound the Oregon ship was forced to strike colors under the torpedoes which zipped from the starboard of Mr. Arthur, the lean Husky gunner. Then the Webfoot broadside artillery caught the range and four victories in a row rewarded the prowess of the Lemon Yellow tossers. Number six resulted in a nar row win for that jovial pirate, Buck Bailey, and his light-footed Cougar crew. Four wins and two defeats is a good record for a club on the road, although the Web foots slipped too many times in their early home games to threat en the supremacy of the Washing ton Huskies in the conference race. Huskies To Cop Flag With nine games won against a couple of defeats, the Huskies need only one more victory to stow away the pennant in the fo-castle for another year. As they meet the storm-tossed Vandal nine in a two-game series Thursday and Friday, it will be close to a miracle if the Huskies don’t clinch the flag at the expense of Rich Fox’s lads who are firmly cooped in the coal pit. Oregon scuttled the Idaho schooner four times this season while the Webfoots split a four game series with Washington State. The local lads crashed a; hidden reef when they met the '■ University of Washington Huskies, directed by Tub Graves, but they washed off the rocks in time to reconnoiter with a surprise attack ] and pull down the Husky masts in the final game. Second Place Undecided Oregon State is next in line for the Webfoots. The Beavers sail to Eugene Friday to renew con PICK Your Graduation Gifts Here and Save Money.

On Saturday the Ducks wind up the season over at Corval lis. Ralph Coleman's team is two up on the l^ebfoots, but Oregon is fighting for those last two games to get an even break on the sea son’s play. Besides the state rivalry in question, second place in the con ference is still open to the team which wins both games. At pres ent Washington State Oregon State, and Oregon are tied for sec ond, each with seven games saved and seven gone to the dogs. As the„ Cougars' tackle the Huskies in their remaining tvPo skirmishes, the Pullman boys have the biggest onion to swallow. By trimming the' Beavers in both games, Oregon will practically be assured of the second niche in final conference stand ings. But Ralph Coleman will wish to interfere with the Webfoot plans when Oregon faces A1 Brown again at Reinhart field on Friday. Aviation Class To See Air Movies Thursday The school of business adminis tration has received word from K. A. Kennedy, extension manager of the Boeing school of aeronautics, that J. O. Becker, field representa tive of the same institution, will be at the University on Thursday of this week to show pictures on aeronautics to the class in com mercial aviation. The class will meet in Villard hall instead of room 107, Com merce, as ordinarily scheduled. It is open to anyone who cares to attend. Mr. Becker will show one reel on the history of aviation and two reels on the activities in the Boe ing school of aeronautics. These are the pictures which were origi nally scheduled for showing in April. On June 2, Lieut. U. G. Robbins will address the class on “Glider Activities in the United States.” i Slim Guys Defeat Fat Men in Close Baseball Contest The education department to gether with the University high school staff held a picnic at Swim mers’ Delight Sunday afternoon. Swimming and baseball were the principal sports enjoyed by about 60 people who atteended. Mrs. F. L. Stetson and Mrs. E. R. Means had charge of the food, which consisted of new potatoes and peas, minced ham loaf, numer ous varieties of sandwiches, ice cream, cake, and coffee. The f^lim Guys, whose rules of play were dictated by I. A. Mather, beat the Fat Men in a hotly con tested baseball game to the tune of 15 to 14. Dr. C. L. Huffaker was the outstanding grandstand player of the game. * The chemistry department, who were also enjoying themselves at a similar picnic, challenged the educators to a baseball game but were defeated by a score of 3 to 1. This may have been due to the fact that the umpire was from the education department. Stetson and H. S. Tuttle distinguished them selves in f.y home runs and magnificent form at the bat dur ing this contest. This affair is an annual event sponsored by the education de partment, and the staff of Univer sity high is usually included. Dr. Ella C.
