Beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning, the board will examine qualified candidates all day in room 205 in the physi cal education building. Requirements for applicants are that students be male Ameri can citizens, between the ages of 20 and 27 years, unmarried, in good physical condition, and with at least two years of college edu cation or its equivalent.

After six months of basic train ing here the cadet is transferred to the air corps training center at Randolph and Kelly fields, San Antonio, Texas. At this “West Point of the Air,” the student will receive six months of in struction in flying and the theory of the modern high-powered army airplanes.

Yesterday, Johns sent the team through a baton-pass ing practice, ordered the distance men to taper off with a few jog laps, and called it a day. Truax Comes With Jesse Truax, state prep 100-yard dash champ of last year, anchoring the sprint relays, the Orange outfit is evidently booming its short-distance quar tets. The better OSC distance men are running on the three mile team, possibly leaving Ore gon an opening in the distance medley. Although having had no track until the last three weeks, and although they probably have no one capable of trimming Truax, Oregon’s freshmen can’t be said to be particularly in the under dog role. The frosh have a number of speedy sprinters—Ross Gearhart, Dick Ralston, Bob Rudolph to name a few—and are not too bad off in the quarter. Question mark on the squad is the caliber of the distance men who naturally were most hampered by lack of early season conditioning. Several of the prospective Cun ninghams are out of shape as yet; Half-Milers Bob McKinney, Stan Watt and Ken Maher, and Miler Tony Nickachos, are rounding into the best form at present. Coach Johns is lining up an other meet for his charges (prob ably next Wednesday! against the University and Eugene high cindermen.
