Beware ! Green Goose will bare all red-hot scandal to be found on campus. What have you to hide? - _ ■ ■ i < s } i UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1935 NUMBER 122 Resume of the Day’s News By the Associated Press ■-MAY 23 — Lake of Gas Discovered LOS ANGELES — A huge un derground lake of pure gasoline was discovered in the harbor dis trict near Wilmington today, caus ing hundreds of persons to stam pede to the scene. Shallow wells, most of them dug to a depth of only two feet, were producing from four to six gallons of gasoline an hour. The scene, a low area about two blocks square, was dotted with hundreds of gasoline “prospectors,” some of whom brought hand pumps to speed up production. Gasoline service stations in the vicinity were deserted as the usual customers backed up their trucks and family automobiles to get their tanks filled. Fire Chief Ralph Scott, admit tedly at a loss to account for the gasoline reservoir beneath the earth’s surface, said however, it was likely it came from a leak many years ago in one of the larg er oil company’s pipe lines leading from a refinery to a harbor term inal.

Committee Picks Figures, Phrases For New Library Shakespeare and Aristotle Heads in Fresco Names of seven fields of learn ing, investigation, or study will be written in Latin above the seven windows of the new library, accord ing to the final report of the com mittee chosen to select inscriptions.

The inscriptions will read: Ars, Literae, Natura, Philosophia, Soci etas, Historia, Religio. Above the two entrances in the front of the library will be placed the Bible quotation, “Ye shall known the truth” and “The truth shall make you free.” The committee chose these to portary the function of the library.

Ducks Annex First Place With 11 to 9 Victory Over Idaho Bonus Backer Speaker Joseph VV. Bjrns seemed to pet genuine enjoyment out of signing the soldier bonus bill, as pictured above. Today the senate votes on whether or not to override President Roosevelt’s veto. Yesterday the house gave a re sounding vote in favor of the hill despite a personal message by the president listing the reasons for having his veto sustained. Senators to Vote On Roosevelt’s Bonus Bill Veto Representatives Re pass Measure Over FDR WASHINGTON, May 22.—(AP) —An irrepressible house majority yesterday swiftly re-passed the Patman bonus bill over President Roosevelt’s veto warnings of “uis astrous consequences,” only to send the new money plan to an almost certain death in the senate. Scarcely had Mr. Roosevelt’s voice ceased echoing in the crowded house chamber where he hammered objection after objection into the $2,200,000,000 bill than the representatives voted 322 to 98 to override his veto—the first per sonally delivered in hisory. It was many more than the two-thirds majority needed. More deliberately, the senate decided to wait until today to con sider the presidential message which, with the house, it heard flay ‘‘printing press money” as an invitation of “an ultimate reckon ing in uncontrollable prices and in the destruction of the value of sav ings.” Mrs. Snyder Dies Early Wednesday Mrs. J.

Oregon . 8 5 .615 OSC . 7 5 .583 WSC . 8 6 .571 Washington . 5 5 .500 Idaho . 3 10 .231 The University of Oregon base ball team defeated the Idaho Van dals 11-9 on the Vandal diamond yesterday and gained undisputed possession of first place in the Northern Division baseball race. All other teams were idle as the Webfoots counted their triumph and as a result the Reinhartmen advanced a notch in the standings and are now a half game ahead of Washington State and Oregon State. The Beavers will play the Uni versity of Washington in the first of a two-game series at Seattle this afternoon, while the Cougars rest until May 31 when they meet their deadly rivals, the Huskies. McFadden Stars Oregon’s sensational “iron man” pitcher Don McFadden, who has been the only consistent winner for the Reinhart - coached baseball team this season, came through with another superb hurling ex hibition yesterday. McFadden, who has been respon sible for three wins and one loss in the first five games of the Ducks’ current half-dozen contet road trip, again saved the ball game and Oregon’s pennant aspira tions for his team when he struck out two men in a row and held the third to an infied out in the last of the ninth inning after Idaho had loaded the bases. Pitches Two Tilts The first of McFadden's brilliant performances came on the first day of the tour—last Saturday af ternoon at Seattle when the ex Southern Oregon Normal star pitched in both games of a double header and split the pair of con tests. He started the first tilt, but lost a heartbreaker, 2 to 1. In the nightcap, he relieved Cece Inman and won the ball game. Tuesday afternoon, McFadden took the mound again, this time against the WSC Cougars on their home diamond, and allowed his op ponents only two hits in chalking up a 5-2 victory. Today saw his third win. Nasund Hurls Again Oregon opened the scoring in yesterday’s ball game in the first and pounded Shepard for four run3 before Naslund replaced him in the third. Naslund, who tossed brilliant ball against Oregon State Tuesday, kept Oregon’s batters guessing un til the eighth when his arm gave out. Each team used four pitchers in an effort to stem the free-hitting sprees of their opponents. The teams will play the last of their four-game series today. Ft. H. E. Oregon . 11 16 1 Idaho . 9 14 2 Inman, Gemmel, Foulk, McFad den, and Vail; Shepard, Naslund, Newland, Black, and Anderson.
