OSTERH0LM .T2 Saturday, Feb. 19, 1910 No Time to Lose Word comes from the University of Washington that the women of that in stitution are working up a high state of enthusiasm over this, the coming de bate with Oregon, and will make, every effort to win the lirsl contest. For sev eral years the northern co-eds have been looking forward to this opportunity. Naturally, they will not let it pass light ly. I lie Oregon women showed great in terest in debating last fall when the com mg contest was under discussion. It is now for them to show how much of this was genuine and how much sham; wherein it was permanent and not trans itory. It was objected at the time that they had no real interest in debating, that all they wanted was to start an agi tation, and that few of them would try when the time came. It present indications of the number intending to enter the tryout are correct, there may have been more truth in these charges than we thought. I here must be more than sentiment in favor of these de bates. If the co-eds want to debate, they must work not talk about it. 1 hey must try for the team, and enough of them to show that there is some real spirit in favor of debating. I here is yet time to prepare, for tiny one that wants to go into the tryout. Work is light now and much can be done in tin.- remaining three weeks. But these are precious moments. 1 'here must be no further delay. Get busy and work even day from now on. I hat is the only In>pc. Something New Thv Inst intercollegiate cross country run in the Northwest will he held in hugene next l uesdav. this is an event worth seeing anil everume should he there. I here are mam activities that lire Hon students do not support as well as other colleges, hut in track athletics - t they are pre eminent. Kitgene has a record as the best town in the North west for track meets. I'.ven Seattle has never hcen aide to finance them. No other college has ever attempted a meet like this one. Besides the cross cotnurv event, there will he an intcrelass meet that should interest every true lover of sport. I hi re will he a new event this year, the javelin throw "Bill” Hayward knows more about throwing the javelin than any olhei trainer in the North west Ihi' should he Oregon’s event Come out and see his men perform on Tuesday.

By C. IV. H alls Next week Eugene will be privileged to hear the greatest woman singe;r in the world. Mine. Schumann-1 leink, is making a tour of the West and Mr. Ralph Bacon, ex-'U6, of Portland, has made arrangements to have her give a concert in the local opera house on Fri day evening, February 25th. Never before has anything of this magnitude been attempted in Eugene, and the city’s future in stellar musical attractions depends upon t*e way . citizens and faculty and stuuems of tT/e( University take up this "gilt edge” prop osition." Eugene has a record as a "play town” for she always gises a generous house to seventy-live cent attractions. Now we have an "A-l” attraction with the, prices very little higher here than in Portland—and very reasonable, when one takes into consideration the large guarantee required and the limited seat ing capacity of the local theatre—and it is simply "up to us”. Are we) satis fied with comic opera and melodrama or do we appreciate and are we ready to pay for the grandest thing of the musical world of our time? • We read of the wonderful career of that beautiful song bird Jennie Lind, and regret that it was not for us to hear her, yet now we are to have an opportunity to hear a woman who is as great today as was Jennie land in her time. Will we lie, there? Mine. Schumann-Uink is a woman or the people” and her mission in life is to mig to "the people.” xothing pleases her so much as to sing the simple folk songs of her native hand to large audi ences of “her people.” R is at present impossible to anounce definitely the program for the local concert, but it is sufficient to say that there will be vari ety enough so that ‘tin- soul of each and every person present w ill be filled to overflowing with real music. Schumann I link is without exception the most charming character before the footlights of the world. She is first of all a mother—not one who is scarcely acquainted with her children, but one who spends a large portion of her leis ure time in the nursen—one who home life might be used quite advantageously as a model by millions of Americans. She has also a wonderful smile which has breadth and depth and is at once, inspiring, entrancing and captivating. It is worth a thousand tonics and three weeks of prayer meetings. ii i • w mus rm v to u < >f o 1/.

So it was proclaimed by the presence of nine lusty orators at the preliminary tryout for choosing Ore gon’s interstate orator, held yesterday afternoon in Villard Hall. I he orations were all well written and delivered, and at the end of the con test there was much doubt in the minds of those who heard it as to who would he among the successful live. those chosen were: 11. J. Rounds, 10, "The Spirit of Patriotism;” B. 11. Wil liams, '10, “The Query of Life;” W. C. Nicholas, TO, "Landmarks of Liberty;” A. M. Geary, TO, "Commercialized Press and Public Opinion;” L. L.

Voigt is a premier discus man and will till a big gap in Hayward’s bunch. FENCING IS LATEST SPORT TO INTEREST Fencing is a new sport that is inter esting several of the University ath letes. They have already broken many foils, and are becoming quite expert in the, art of holding the left hand poised over the shoulder—-or hanging onto their ear. Fred Xewbauer, a senior from Ger many, is helping the men master the dif ficult points in the art. He, has had considerable experience in Europe where fencing is an important attainment. He and one of his pupils will probably give an exhibition match at the indoor track meet next spring. I he Daily California. 1, tin student paper of the Universee o!
