Looking toward the securing of
an alumni athletic board that
would shape a permanent athletic
policy for Willamette university,
the associated body at the chapel
exercises Friday morning passed a
motion directing Warren Day,
student body president, to appoint
a committee to look further into
the question and to draw up
plans for the creation of such a
board. The committee will be an
nounced later.
Arguments in favor of the ath
letic board brought out that the
stu lents have been looking for a
solution .to their problem for a
long time and that there has been
considerable criticism voiced on
the campus at 'the apparently
dormant state of school spirit. It
was pointed out that the students
have not given the support to
teams that they should give. It
was also argued that the present
students alone shape the policy of
athletics at the institution and as
a result the policy is of necessity
changed each college generation.
The proposed board would con
sist of alumni residents of Salem
and would confer with the execu
tive committee of the student body
in order that a definite plan for
the upbuilding of campus athletics
might be worked out and carried
on with a continuity instead of be
ing changed every four years.
The chapel exercises were
handled by the students for the
first time this year. The program
consisted in musical enfertainment
at a short student body meeting.
Lloyd Thompson, basso with the
Willamette glee club, sang two
solos, accompanied on the piano
by Helen Seilig. Aldeen Smith, a
sophomore atthe university, again
S made her appearance before the
(Willamette students. Louise Find
ey accompanied her. Helen Seilig

violin, accompanied by Louise
Findley. The entire program was
received . with considerable ap
plause, and in the student meeting
that followed, a motion was passed
that the president, Warren Day,
be instructed to appoint a com
mittee for the purpose of ascer
taining whether or not the fac
ulty of 'the institution would be
willing to allow the students to
arrange the ehapel program oc
caslonally. Mr. Day appointed
Laura Pemberton, Myrtle Jensen,
Paul Trueblood and Charles Swan
as the committee to investigate the
matter.

The official Greek .announce

correspondent of . the Associated
Press, who writing from Petrich,
says that as he was leaving the
power magnate, was in a critical
condition tonight in the modest
uptown apartment in which she
has earned her own living as a
vocal teacher. Two hemorrhages
suffered yesterday have so weak
ened her that little hope for her
recovery was -held out.
Miss Lucille Pugb, attorney for
Mrs. Duke, admitted that her
client's funds have been dwindl
ing, although she said Mrs. Duke's
condition was not due to malnutri
tion, as reported earlier. In his
Unless those promoting the
pony express race scheduled to
be held between Portland and Sa
lem today are able to find a dirt
track the entire length of the
course, the race will be called oft
at the instigation of Colonel E.
Hofer, president of the Oregon
Humane society and a resident of
Salem. Col. Hofer sent instruc
tions to that ef feet to the Portland
office of the humane society, aft
er having called upon the gover
nor to ask that the race be called
off, but hot finding him in.
It is the contention of Col Hofer
that if the race is he. -a as planned
on the pavement, not only the
horses but the traffic would be In
danger. He branded such a race
as being "the essence of bar
barity." He said that Captain
Cross in Portland would warn the
picture people that are instigat
ing the race, and if declared that
"if the race is not called off, ar
rests will be made if necessary."
Col. Hofer said that it was the
intention ot the promoters of the
race to put rubber shoes on trie
horses, but he declared that this
would be of no help. He said that
in the days of the pony express the
horses were conditioned to be able
to "stand the strain" but that the
horses who would run today are
not in condition, nad if they were
forced to run on pavement, "it
means that they will be put under
outrageously brutal conditions."
G. Howitt, owner of the horses
scheduled to make the run today,
declared that it is not the inten
tion of himself or Paul Noble,
manager of the theater, who is
backing the race, to run the hors
es on pavement more than neces
sary. He said that once the hors
es are outside of Portland they
will be run on the gravel along
side the pavement, and that side
roads will be used when feasible
Mr. Howitt also declared that the
horses will not be run brutally
fast. There is to be no competi
tion, he said, but the nature of the
race will be merely an exhibition
to show how the old pony express
es were run. .He asserted that the
horses would not be put to speed
tests. As an added precaution
against brutal wear on the horses
