DRAW up a chair folks! Ol
Doc Highball came in tht
other day with water on the brain
Drawing up a typewriter, he col
lapsed into a wastebasket with t'n(
dull thud of the proverbial flunl
and exploded. After we had swepl
up the eels and put them back ir
the jar under as associate editor's
desk all we could find that was left
of ol’ Highball was a bit of wel!
chewed English bond, with the fol
lowing inscription thereon:
“Oregon State has been keeping
its swimming team hidden undci
the bushes and is going to gel
- tor it when Saturday
rclls around. Oh, my chillun, it is
predicted that Oregon shall take
first in the oncoming N.YV. splash
ers' convention in every event ex
cept one, providing Mike Hoyman
doesn’t get tired of winning points.
“Oregon is doped by the stars
to hightail it with close to G2
points, Washington won’t be much
over 32, Washington State will be
lucky to hump 7, and it’ll be a
great day if OSC take more than
4, and to do that they’ll have to
take ’em away from the Cougars.
“A Washington breaststroke ace
may take a first «n that event, but
outside of that, my chillun, the
blue ribbons that leave the Uni
versity this year are limited by
Mike Hoyman’s generosity and the
absent Jack Medica. And now, my
chillun, I'm going down to the
sports depadtment and blow all
over the place. Farewell!!”
And that, friends, is the sad
story of ol’ Doc Highball, for
whose prognostications we refuse
to apologize.
Wright Obtains
Pictorial Map
Of Mexico City
A gay, colorful pictorial map of
Mexico City and the surrounding
country featuring all the vivid
lures and charms that a distant
land finds in a stimulated imagin
ation has been received by Dr.
Leavitt O, Wright, Spanish pro
fessor.
Margin close-ups give familiar
scenes of local customs and every
day life in romantic Mexico—an
Independence day celebration, In
dian dances, religious festivals, a
picture of market life, and many
others. A corner insert has por
traits of some of Mexico's national
figures and shows some of the pic
turesque coats of arms of her
families.
Mexico City, originally built on
an island, is portrayed with sur
rounding lakes lending beauty to
the landscape. To the northeast is
pictured huge Lago de Texcoco,
now dry.
Snow-capped mountain peaks,
quaint villages, gaudily - dressed
caballeros and dark-eyed Mexican
senoritas all add 4atmosphere and
seductive local color to the brilli
ant portrayal of Mexican life.
Dr. Wright said he hoped it
would be a stimulus for all Spanish
students who could do s6 to at
tend summer school at the Nation
al University of Mexico.
Professor Julio Jimenez Rueda,
former director of the popular
summer sessions at the National
University of Mexico, will share
with Prof. Wright a visiting pro
fessorship for the summer session
of the 1936 Pomona college school
of Spanish at Claremont, Cali
fornia.
The city of Dieppe, France, on
the Paris-London air route, will
construct a modern airport, with
the assistance of the French gov
ernment.
McFadden to Chuck for
H. Hobson's Nine on
Anonymous Field at
3 o’Clock
“Play ball!” The cry that has
rung out over a thousand fields ot
play ever since old Abner Double
day invented America’s national
pastime back in 1839 will sound
again in all its glory at Anony
mous field here this afternoon
when Oregon's varsity Webfoots
throw off the 1936 baseball lid
against Pacific university of For
est Grove.
The opening pitch of the season
is scheduled to whizz in the gen
era! vicinity of the plate at exactly
3 o’clock, and at that time the test
of Oregon’s question mark ball
club will begin.
Ducks Defending Champs
For two years in succession
Webfoot diamond aggregations
have gone out and procured the
northern division bunting for the
Eugene trophy case. This spring
with the best of the veterans gone
and unknown quantities filling key
positions, experts aren’t laying
anything on Oregon’s chances.
Pacific, usually a strong contender
in the small Northwest conference,
is a tough enough customer to
test the mettle of any coast con
ference club.
Stormy weather has handicap
ped Howard Hobson’s outfit since
the start of practice, but the new
Webfoot mentor, himself once a
brilliant college star, has chosen
his starting lineup, and students '
can get a line on the lads this j
afternoon.
McFadden on Hillick
Don McFadden, ace of them all
in northern division twirling cir
cles, is Hobby’s nominee for start
ing duty on the chucking slab,
and receiving his slants will be
John Thomas, a reserve last year.
In the infield, composed of three
new faces and one old, it will be
Bill Courtney on first, Bob Wim
bush at second, Johnny Lewis (the
gentleman v/ho’s been seen before!
on short, and Bud Goodin at third
Outfielders in the opening lineup
will be Andy Hurney, left; Pitcher
Bob Millard, center; and Chief
McLean, right. Millard and Mc
Lean are new to the garden, Hur
ney was out there last year, as
was Ralph Amato, counted upon
lor heavy duty in the conference
race but out of the £wim right
now with measles.
Bucknum, Marshall Ready
Pitchers who may relieve Mc
Fadden are Earl Bucknum, letter
man, and Bill Marshall, transfer
from Monmouth. Hobson says that
Cece Inman, veteran, and Millard
of the outfield, aren't ready.
W hat Anse Cornell will bring
up the river from Washington
county isn’t known, but the Bad
gers made a good showing last
year and have more than one let
terman back Harvey Storey, for
mer Pacific third baseman, took
the eye of coast league scouts and
spent the training camp period
with the Portland Beavers this
spring, and more men of the same
mold may be in Badger uniform.

Sigma Nus Top
Fijis in Extra
| Inning Tilt, 11-8
Betas, Sigma Cliis, ATO,
Omega Hall Also Win;
Stroble Stars
The walloping Sigma Nus blast
ed three runs home in an overtime
inning to break an 8-to-8 deadlock
and defeat Phi Gamma Delta. 11
to 8, yesterday as the first round
of the intramural softball compe
tition was completed. Second round
games begin Monday. April 6.
A long double from the heavy7
stick of Bill Dick, Sigma Nu cen
ter fielder, won the game for his
teammates by scoring Anet, Faye,
and Battleson ahead of him in the
eighth inning. Highlights of the
contest were two triples by Dick
Kriesene, Fiji left gardener, and
a home run by Johnny Olsen, Sig
ma Nu twirler.
Betas Massacre Chi Psis
Beta Theta Pi slaughtered their
Chi Psi neighbors to the tune of
18 to 4 in the biggest slugfest of
the afternoon. A murderer's row
of such grid luminaries as Budd
Jones, Smoky Parke, and Hugh
McCredie lambasted H e u m e r .
chucker for the lodgemen, at will,
getting twelve tallies in the first
two innings.
Lanky Ed Wheelock, beanpole
barrister, pitched Sigma Chi to a
5-to-3 victory over Phi Kappa Psi
in a pitcher’s duel with Bernie
Matthews, opposing tosser. The
men from the castle bunched their
hits to shove three runs across in
the fourth, while the three Phi Psi
tallies came in the sixth. Tapdane
er Tommy Bradshaw cavorted be
hind the bat for Sigma Chi.
ATO’s Blank DU’s
Alpha Tau Omega displayed al
most perfect fielding in their 9 to
0 defeat of Delta Upsilon. Sparked
by A1 Stroble, one of the sweetest
shortstops to take the field in this
season’s play, the ATOs gave Pit
cher Anderson airtight support,
enabling him to pitch a one-hit
game. Stroble was also having a
big day at the plate, scoring two
runs, and slamming out a long
two-bagger in the third with the
bases loaded, shoving in three runs.
'Bill Jones, D.U. pitcher, was ef
fective in the pinches, but a bad
case of wildness during ordinary
going cost his teammates the
game. Bob Newlands was the class
of the losers, turning in a faultless
job at first base, and slamming
out a single for the D.U.’s only
bingle of the contest.
Omega hall’s Kidder outpitched
his rival, Mitchell, as the hallmen
downed the Sigma Phi Epsilon
team by a 7 to 4 count. This con
test was tightly played and was
the shortest game of the day. Soft
ball play will be resumed Monday,
April 6, when the teams play their
second round games.

New Libe Seems
Endless Maze
An endless maze of passage
ways, hallways, and stairways
leading up, down, north, east, west,
and south into rooms that are dark
and rooms well lighted by gaping
holes where windows will soon be
placed—this is the impression the
new libe makes on the casual ob
server who wanders into its in
terior.
Though not appearing large
from the outside, the inside is rap
idly being partitioned into an un
suspected number of rooms rang
ing in size from a janitor’s closet
to the big reading rooms. Next
week the top will be put on the
six story stack room where books
are to be stored.
Masons are now at work brick
ing the outside of the west wing
and laying the last coat of cement
on the basement floor. The first
of the big tin pipes to be used for
heating and ventilation have been
installed this week. In the winter
they will carry hot air for warm
ing the large rooms and in sum
mer they will keep the interior of
the building cool.
Dr. Hall in Portland
Dr. Calvin S. Hall, professor of
psychology, went to Portland yes
terday to teach his human learning
class.
Dr. Hall will be back today to
meet his classes.
If Big Bill Thompson, making a
political comeback, wants to get
back into shape for socking kings,
he might start out in a small way
with Levinsky.

A new sport has been introduced
to the campus. It is strenuous, ex
citing, and may be taken up by
members of either sex. It is
variously known as ‘‘Wet the
Whistle,” "Dunk the Schnozz," or
"Calisthentic Gargling."
That rustic old fountain in front
of the library, the last sanctuary
of those who liked to drink in the
good old fashioned way has gone
modern on us. That graceful,
pleasing old monument is now
equipped with those swan-like eye
sores of gleaming metal designed
to make it as difficult as possible
to obtain a drink.
This new sport is rough and
tumble, catch as catch can. Con
testants may work in pairs or
singly. First team, or individual,
to obtain a satisfactory drink is
declared winner. Though competi
tion is fierce and players capable
no one has yet conquered the foe.
An intensive period of training
is required for every contestant,
and a course in plumbing (a. pipe
course) is suggested.
Following is a description of the
technique employed by the most
successful contenders to date.
First a rope was tied around the
feet of Contestant Entwhistle
and this rope was tossed over the
overhanging fir branch above the
fountain. His partner, Contestant
h izzier, then hoisted him up feet
first and swung him over the
fountain. In this position. Ent
whistle turned on the water and
began to drink. He was disqual
ified, however, when his toupe fell
in the water.
Intramural Tennis
To Start Monday
The intramural tennis tourna
ment, in the various men’s organi
zations, gets under way Monday,
April 6. when the Phi Kappa Alpha
team meets Chi Psi lodge at 4
o'clock. At 5 o'clock the same eve
ning Kappa Sigmas raqueteers
match skill with Alpha hall.

Meet Qualifying
Heats Tonight at 8
Gerlinger Will Be Scene
Of Aquatic Tourney;
Washington, WSC,
OSC, Oregon Entered
The late entry of six men, repre
senting Oregon State college in
the Northwest intercollegiate
swimming championships brings
the total entered to nearly 35
swimmers. Competition in all
events except diving and relays
will start at 8 o'clock tonight at
Gerlinger pool in order to reduce
the field to a number that can
compete in one heat in the finals.
The diving and relay teams will
get their first competition Satur
day at 2 p. m. when the finals will
be held.
The list of men entering from
Oregon State college includes
Howard Cameron, George Ben
nett, Stewart Mayo, Henry Burns,
James Edwards and Max Parrot.
Cameron, Bennett, and Mayo are
to compete in the breast stroke,
Burns in the back stroke, and Ed
wards In the diving. The medley
relay team includes Parrot, Ben
nett, and Burns.
Oregon Favored
Since Oregon defeated Washing
ton in dual competition, Washing
ton defeated Washington State,
and Washington State defeated
Oregon State, the Ducks are a top
heavy favorite to cop this meet.
The loss of Jack Medica's services
is a blow to Washington’s chances,
but the Huskies should be a sure
second, since they did defeat
Washington State without him.
Mike Hoyman, Jim Hurd, and
Jim Reed returned to the campus
Thursday from the east and the
latter two will have a day’s rest
from travel before engaging in
this meet. Since both are in top
shape, spectators can look forward
to some record breaking perform
ances. Jim Reed broke his own
Pacific coast intercollegiate record
in the 150 yard back stroke by
more than six seconds when com
peting at Yale. Jim Hurd already
holds the Pacific coast intercollegi
ate record for the 100 yard dash,
arid it is within his power to break
: only 2weeks off!
