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

other college has ever attempted a meet

Besides the cross cotnurv event, there

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.

NINE MEN CHAMPION
CAUSE OE ORATORY
Oratory is not dead, at least not at
Oregon. 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. Ray, T2,
"Private vs. Public Liberty.” The oth
ers who tried out were E. A. Nott, '12;
E. O. Smith, '13, W. M. Huntington, '12.

Victor Voigt, the stunt man on last
year's Glee Club, has returned to college.
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.
