Page 4 VOLUME XXXV Joe Cinders — By — BILL BOWERMAN Writer Bum Prophet Hayward Used Head To W in $500 Wager To the students of the Univer sity of Oregon, the citizens of Eu gene, and the populace of the Wil lamette valley I owe an apology. A little over a week and a half ago I stood on Hayward field, look ing over the blue skies which shone over head, and the sun which ca ressed the backs of so many coeds on the roof tops, and made a pre diction it wasn’t going to rain any more. In fact I was so em phatic in my prediction, that T backed it up in a substantial way with a wager with Marshall Wright, who hails from Honolulu or Punahua, which is not just around the corner. The sum and substance of the conjecture was that the sun would continue to bless us with its presence and spring would continue, and fur ther there would be no precipita tion for a week. Within ten minutes after that open defiance of Jupiter Pluvius a great black cloud swept over the hills from the south, and before the Kappas could gather in their washing there was such a down pour, accompanied by bursts of thunder, as has not been seen in Eugene since the Johnstown flood. For two days and two nights the thunder and lightning terror ized the campus and rain drops fell that were so large you could not catch them in a five-gallon pail. I saw pedestrians on Willam ette street actually dodging the darn things. That was not so bad. It has rained every day since that time and unless some action is taken it bids fair to keep up throughout the spring quarter. Therefore, with the interests of liie baotibail bcctm, tiiti truck, and the social activities of the stu dents at large, and in a public spirited manner I offer a predic tion that should nullify any pre vious faulty prognostications that I have made. “It is going to rain throughout the remainder of the spring quar ter, not continually, mind you, but when there is something doing that is of interest it will be rained out.” Just one more reason why Col onel Kill Hayward is one of the most Interesting personages on the campus, yea in the whole country, and Is the object of the Order of O gestures. In the olden days it was quite a custom, in fact it was a pastime for those who excelled in athletic sports, to compete against one an other for just a little more than the pleasure. In fact the consider ation sometimes mounted up to as high as $1500 or $2000. 1 am wast ing my time in telling those who know Colonel Kill in repeating that he is pretty hard to beat in any competition. There was a certain fellow named Jimmy McCall, who was quite a hot-shot in those clays, yes, quite a number, but he had a great re spect for Bill Hayward that had been aided and abetted by certain monetary losses in events such as foot races, hand car races, and boat races. It finally got to such a state of affairs that Hayward could not get competition without gviing a handicap of either distance or physical advantage. One day Hayward approached Mr. McCall and said .“Well, Jim my, we’ll have a boat race. I'll bet you $500 I can beat you any dis tance you want to name, and I'll take the seat out of my boat." Anyone who has looked over one of these racing skulls with the slid ing seats can imagine the alacrity with which Mr. McCall took the cocky colonel up. There was quite a pause while old Bill chuckled reminiscently to himself. Finally the impatient writer queried if Hayward won the race. "Won the race!' 'snorted Bill. "Sure 1 won the race. I got an old pair of overalls, sewed a piece of saddle leather across the seat, slapped on a pound of axle grease and it worked better than a sliding seat." Retreat at Newport to Be Held This Weekend Thirty members of the Wesley Foundation will attend a retreat at Newport, Oregon, this weekend. The theme for the retreat will be the .."Relation of the Student to the Church." Discussion will be led by Rev. Cecil Rfstow of« the First Methodist church. Betas and Yeomen Fighting for Points In Donut Contest Independents May Pass Beta Squad in Final Events; Questions of Status Arise According to last term's figures the Betas were leading the intra mural sports world, having chalked up a grand total of 539 points. Not much below them and stealthily creeping up on the donut leaders was the Yeomen tribe with 517 points, while the S.P.E.'s trailed third with a total of 463. Close examination will show that the Betas* margin of victory was a very narrow one only 22 points. And now, with three donut sports in progress, the race between these two athletically inclined organizations has become much closer The Beta men received a discouraging set-back in donut tennis com petition. Their racqueteers were eliminated in (he first, matches be fore they had hardly a chance to swing their racquets. However, they added 35 more points to their original 539 as an entrance premium. The Yeomen faired much better than their rivals in the cement court play. Their team has reached the quarter-finals and i;., therefore. enuueci 10 bi pomis. macn time* they advance a step farther in the tennis brackets, they gain 13 ad- 1 ditional points. Beta Golfers Win While the tennis results left the Betas losers, they certainly have no cause for sorrow in the donut golf competition. To date they have advanced to the semi-finals, which means a sure 83 points, and 100 if they should defeat the ob stinate Chi Psi foursome, which they have twice tied. In golf, the Yeomen find themselves in the same position as the Betas in ten nis, for the independents lost their initial golf match and so scored only 35 points for entry. Both the Yeomen and Beta teams gained an appreciable num ber of points through softball play. The Bela nine’s glory ended in the , first round robin after they had assimilated 74 points, but the Yeo- ■ men club forced its way through i the eliminations to win the triple tied League II championship and 100 points. And every game they win in the league winners’ round robin will bring them 13 tallies. If they should win the softball • championship, it would net them a ( cool 150 points, while champion ships in golf or tennis bring only 100 points. The following figures show how the Beta and Yeomen teams now stand. Figures which would be increased by further wins arc starred. Softball . 74 100* Present total 73 L 713 Not only have the Yeomen cut four points from the Betas' 22 point lead, but they also have the chance to win additional points in two events, tennis and softball, while the Betas can only advance in golf. If the Yeomen should win both the tennis and softball cham pionships they could add 39 points to their present total. If the Betas should win the golf championship they could add 17 points to their present total. If I 'all three things should happen the( i Yeomen would win the grand in I tramural championship by a mar gin of 54 points. In fact, the Yeo men would only have to win the I softball championship alone in or | der to take the final lead from j the Betas, no matter what the lat ter might win. Yeomen Gain Beta Yeomen Tennis Golf Previous total Iasi Hissing Another “it"’ to add to the cal endar is the recent controversy over the Yeomen list of 40. Ac cording to the decision of the in tramural board, at the first of the season, the Yeomen were to pre pare a list of 40 Independents These men would be allowed to compete in intramural sports under the Yeomen banner. This list was to be submitted to the intramural department at the first of each term, but no changes were to be made in the list without the con sent of the intramural board by petition.

At the same ime, new men have been playing inder the Yeomen auspices. These' nen's names, it is said, did not ippear on the original list or hrough petition. Many of the ttars of the Yeomen softball team ire claimed to be such men. On the other Hand, no sufficient jroof has been forwarded to show hat these men wore not originally isted or were not listed through egal petition, for the list, or a luplicate, is not available. If th ' Betas should contest the Yeomen's iction, and their list of names, and dc able to prove the independents rad violated part of the intramural rules, the Yeomen would be forced to forfeit enough games to place .hem nearer the bottom of the in tramural competition than the top. !5 MORE !

The weary players were sent through scrimmages and more scrimmages, and the birdies were asleep before practice was called on account of darkness. Only one set of players, the green squad, took the offense. The backfield combination of this group was Ralph Terjeson, Pepper Pepelnjack, Bill Nye, and Frank Michek. These players occasion ally went to the other side for de fensive practice. Pepelnjak Hot Sparked by Pepelnjak’s sweep ing runs and Michek’s slanting line drives, the Greens showed a powerful, if sporadic, attack. Ter jescn also came into his own as a line plunger, and reeled off some excellent gains. Elmore Borden and Rex Hamakcr also showed up well. The forward wall was strength ened considerably when Budd Jones, substitute end last year, reported. Jones, who weighs around 180 pounds, shows the same fire that he displayed on the maple court, and may beat out Simpson for the end post left va cant by the departure of Bud Pozzo and Chuck Wishard, Stars Gather Interest in the game next Fri day between Miltulak’s All-stars and next year’s team is mounting rapidlv. and a. slam-bang battle should be on hand. Mikulak is rounding up such players as Dutch Clark, Biff Nilsson, “Bouncing Bree” Cuppoletti, Ted Giaseke, Jot Renner, and Mark Tenrple. Others are expected to join the Mikulak camp and join in their unholy war upon the “yannigans.” Raymond “Butch” Morse, Ore gon’s candidate for national hon ors next fall, will head the 1934 team, and will take care of the end post. The backfield will prob ably be chosen from Terjeson Nye, Pepelnjak, Mlchek, Reisch nuvnn, and Bishop. The outstand ing linemen to date are Roy Gag non, Del Bjork, Pat Fury, Dwight Nielson, and Neel Simpson. «effe?s1' Where Ycra Will Always Find the “NEW THINGS” First SEE THOSE NEW LINEN Priced $8.00 and those m A new shipment has just arrived. jacket cnly $13.50 Suits $18.50 Get F itted f oda y INC.

Diamond 3—Sigma Alpha Ep silon vs. Sigma Chi. Mrs. Noble One of Thirty Attending Summer Session Seminar on Par Eastern Studies Offers a Selected Group Interesting' Course Mrs. Harold J. Noble, assistant curator of the Murray Warner ori ental art museum, has been ap pointed one of the 30 educators in vited to attend a summer seminar on Far Eastern studies at the Uni versity of California at Berkeley, according to a letter received from Allen C. Blaisdell, director of In ternational house on the U. of C. campus, one of the organizations that is sponsoring the six weeks of study. Classes will be held from June 25 to August 3, and will “offer to a small selected group of scholars the opportunity to supplement their knowledge of Far Eastern matters, to discover the ways in which that knowledge can be sub sequently increased, to become ac quainted with a number of the act ive scholars in the field and to dis cuss the particular problems which they have to face in offering in struction,’’ as the pamphlet an nouncing the program reads. Mrs. Noble was born in India and has spent a large .part of her life there, although she received her bachelor of arts degree in ori ental literature and art from the Webfoot Netmen To Flay Bearcats Friday Afternoon Strong Willamette Team Boasts Victories Over Many Racqueteers Tennis fans will have an oppor tunity to see the best team in this section in action Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock on the University ten nis courts when Willamette uni versity brings their crack racquet eers to Eugene to meet the Web foot tennis team. Willamette has won the reputa tion of having the best university team by its wins over O.S.C., Pa cific, Columbia, and Albany, and the decisive manner in which they have defeated these teams. This is one of the few chances that fans will have to see the Ore gon team in action because many of the matches are scheduled for other campuses. Coach Paul Waslike is pessimis tic about a win over the strong Willamette team, and expressed a great deal of respect for Harley Bennett, number one man for the Willamette team. Wesleyan university in 1922, and subsequently studied at the Uni versity of California and Ohio State college. She was assistant editor and later editor of the Treasure Chest magazine in India from 1924-23.
