9 AtCorvallis
La Grande High school has re-;
celved an Invitation to enter Its
track team in the fifth annual in
terse holastlc track and field moet
to be held at Oregon State college
in Corvallls May 9. This is the big
gest track event of the year, and
Coach Ira Woodte Is planning to
take a number of his best men to
the meet.
The cinder track at the state col
lege is considered one of the finest
In the country, and the entire ath
letic field has been put in first class
condition this spring. Transporta
tion to and from the meet must be
provided by the individual high
schools, but the college will arrange
for the housing of entrants and
tncir coaencs during their stay in
Corvallls.
Each school nay register four
men for each event, but only two
will be allowed to start or take part
in each event. Both' Individual and
team championships will bo deter
mined, and trophies will be award
ed to both the team winning col
lective honors, and the individual
athlete who places in the finals.
Gold medals will be awarded to
winners of first placo in each event:
silver medals will be given second
place winners; and bronze medals
go to winners of third places. In
dividual members of the relay teams
wui De awaraea accordingly, five
places in each event shall count
for scoring, first, second, third,
fourth and fifth places counting 5,
4, 3, 3, and 1 points respectively.
14 Kvents
Following is the list of events,
with tho necessary qualifications
for entering : 100-yard dash ( 1 1
seconds); pole vault (10 feet): high
jump (5 feet 4 inches); discus (100
feet); shot put (38 feet); mile run
(6 minutes); 220-yard dash (35 sec
onds); 120-yard high hurdles (20
seconds); 440-yard run (56 seconds):
Javelin (140 feet); broad jump (10
feet); 220-yard low hurdles (30 sec
onds); 880-yard run (2:10); half
mile relay.
All standard high schools are eli
gible for competition under the
rules of the Oregon High School
Athletic association. Each school
must certify as to the eligibility of
Its men under the rules of tho asso
ciation. The local track team has beon
handicapped by bad weather, and
the consequent poor condition of
tho track, and has been forced to
limit practice to indoor work so far.
It Is hoped that real spring weather
will soon permit outdoor practice.
Some leading antl-prohlbltlonlsts
in the capital privately expressed
the view that Raskob had erred in
stressing prohibition.
Opinion as to tho outcome of the
difficulties wns divided. Some, how
ever, held it was unlikely any group
would decide definitely to bolt the
party until they were convinced
Baskob's plan would be made a
plank at the national convention.
Even then, it was said, party regu
larity might be encouraged by the
hope that a unffled campaign would,
mean victory and restore democrats
to power, and patronage, for the
first time In ten years.
CHICAGO VOTING
ON BIG BILL AND
CERMAK CONTEST
(Continued form rage One)
ae Chicago's "cowboy mayor," and
regarded as a master showman of
American politics, said it was . his
last campaign, regardless of whether
he is elected as the World's Fair
mayor.
Carrying their fight right up to
the last minute, the supporters of
both candidates gave downtown
Chicago the atmosphere of a politi
cal holiday. Some of the final
thrifts were delivered by Cermak
and Thompson speaking in down
town theaters within a half a block
of each other, voice -amplify in g de
vices helping to fill tho air with
charge couilter charges, .ridicule,
and election promises.
' While this was going on a truck
carrying1 "canned" , muujc . awl
speeches for Thompson moved Into
. tho crowd in front of Ccrmak's
meeting place. Within a few mo-
j men to Cermak partisans ripped
Thompson banners from, the side of
tho vehicle and pushed it Into an
other street. This Incident was
taken goodnaturedly by both sides,
however, and there was no disorder.
If Thompson Is elected It will be
his fourth term as mayor. He rode
through a tornado of political fire
works in the Feb. 24 primary with a
plurality of 67,841 over Judge John
H. Lyle, the self styled "gangster
nemesis" and Alderman A. F. Al
bert.
Albert drew apprcftlmately 100,
000 votes. Opponents of Thompson
argued that Albert's strength made
Thompson! nomination possible.
Cermak had no organized oppo
sition In the primary.
In addition to picking a mavor
Chlcagoans were selecting aldermen
in 21 wards.
