EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 2, 1910
VOLUME 11
No. 35
10 BIG TEAMS PUT
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
DATE CHANGED SO PLAY
ERS AND STUDENTS CAN
SEE SHOW
Oregon Team, Strengthened by
Addition of Walker, Will Meet
One of Best Teams in West.
On account of the premier attraction
billed for tomorrow night at the Eu
gene theatre Manager Terry has changed
the time for the Oregon-Washington
basketball game to four o’clock in the
afternoon. I lie members of the Merry
Widow company have been invited and
will attend, and in the evening the teams
will occupy a box at the theatre.
Although Washington has a speedy
team, the hopes of the Oregon support
ers run high, the improvement shown
by the team ‘during the last few days
being remarkable. Dean Walker, the
clever guard who played last year with
the Eos Angeles Stars, will be in the
line up for the first time this year, tak
ing the place left vacant by Morgan
Watson.
I he Washington men come to Eu
gene exulted by a triumphal tour through
the Inland Empire in which they defeat
ed four out of the six teams they met,
among the former being the great Pull
man team that won from Idaho, O. A.
ianod Oregon earlier in the season,
i onight they play O. A. C. and on their
way home they play the Willamette
f Diversity team that defeated Oregon
two weeks ago.
In consideration of their high average
and general consistent showing, the
Washington team will claim the North
west championship for this year—a title
that can only be determined approxi
mately since no regular schedule lias
been followed and on one team has a
clear record. Captain Stine and his
men have been handicapped by lack of
organization and practice early in the
season and have just reached their true
playing form. In view of this fact, the
early defeats should not be considered
in determining their standing, and if
they succeed in winning from the north
ern champions, they will certainly have
a record to be proud of.
During the game drainer Hayward
expects to play the following men : Ruth,
center; Elliott, Walker, Cockerline and
■\eil, guards; Jamison, Stine and Moore,
forwards. I he preliminary will be play
ed as announced last Saturday between
tlie local high school and the second
team.

SENIOR PLAY CHANGED
FIRST TOO FRIVOLOOS
The senior play has been changed
from “'1 he Private Secretary” to "Capt.
Letterblair,” an Irish Military comedy
of three acts. This has been one of
America’s favorite dramas for many
years and was starred in several sea
sons by E. H. Southern.
" i he Private Secretary” was not a
play suited to the dignity of the senior
class, for besides being an old chestnut
played by every one-horse road com
pany, it possessed a plot hardly as deep
is an ordinary musical comedy. “Capt.
Letterblair,” however, is a play of great
.dramatic possibilities and with it seniors
will have ample opportunity to display
their dramatic ability.
I he cast includes the following sen
iors :
Joel Richardson, Roy K. Terry, Wm.
Kiltz, 1 Iarold Bates, Clinton Shangle,
Harold Rounds, Benj. Williams, Dudley
Clarke, Jennie Lilly, Ruth Dtmiway and
Frances Oberteuffer. Dudley Clarke
md Frances Oberteuffer have been se
lected for the leading parts.
The first rehearsal was held last even
ing, the play was read over and parts
assigned. It is not yet fully decided
when the play is to he staged.

Students of the University who are in
favor of the “Single Tax” ideas of Hen
ry George will meet next Tuesday even
ing at seven o’clock to form a Henry
George Club. Several well known men
from Portland and elsewhere have con
sented to addres sthe members during
the year.

tending the German universities, of
whom 298 are Americans.

man of the University of Washington
baseball team last year, left school last
Friday to join the Chicago White Sox
at San Francisco.
SPEAKER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO LIVINGSTON'S WORK
R. BUCHANAN ADDRESSES
ASSEMBLY ON WORK
OF EXPLORER
Compares His Life of Helpfulness
With That of Napoleon’s Life
of Destruction.
“As long as there is an Africa, the
name of David Livingston will be
known,” was the remarkable tribute paid
the memory of the great missionary by
Dr. Buchanan, the well known African
traveller, in his address, "In the hoot
steps of Livingston,” at Assembly this
morning.
The address was extremely interest
ing because he has gone over the same
territory travelled by Livingston and
lias known Stanley, the man who search
ed so long for the lost missionary.
He began his address by giving a
brief account of Livington’s life leading
up to his decision to go to Africa as a
missionary, mainly emphasizing the fact
that he was a man who was cut out for
doing things rather than preaching them.
He stated and interesting fact when lie
said that the ship bearing Livingston
to Africa and the one bearing the dead
body of Napoleon crossed the equator
in the same year, the one bearing a
man who was beginning a life of help
fulness, the other the body of a man
who had ended a life of destruction.
His arrival in Africa, his difficulties
in getting started, the opposition of the
orthodox church, his marriage, his jour
ney into t he interior and his experiences
with the natives are only a few of the
interesting things told of by the speak
er.
Perhaps the most vivid description
of all the scenes which he gave, was
that of the Victoria Falls. Only a man,
who has had the opportunity that Dr.
Buchanan has of seeing this sight,
could have told it in such a realistic
manner.
He then spoke of Livington’s return
to England, of the honor bestowed up
on him and his return again to Africa,
lie told how he became lost, of Stan
ley’s remarkable search for him, and
how he refused to return with Stanley.
In closing, he sold how, after Liv
ingston’s death, his faithful servants
carried his body a thousand miles to
the sea and of his final burial in West
minster Abbey.
In speaking of talking to Staidey a
bout the wonders of Africa, Dr. Bu
chanan said that he asked Stanley what
he considered the most wonderful thing
in Africa. The latter answered: “The
character of David Livingston.”
Alex Martin, ’12, favored the audi
ence with a solo entitled, “The Indif
ferent Mariner,” before tin- address.
THE KLOSHE TILLACUM
INVITATIONS REVOKED
The invitations that were out for the
Kloshe Tillacum leception next Friday

ser and Mrs. Wm. Kuykendall were to

account of the death of Mr. C. D. Drain,
a brother-in-law of Mrs. Kuykendall
and father of two of the club girls.
Y. W. C. A. ADDRESSED
BY MRS. L. MILLER
_
The Y. VV. C. A. held an interesting
meeting Monday afternoon. Mrs. Lis
elien Miller spoke very entertainingly
to the girls on Y. VV. C. A. work in
Paris.
"No one," she said in part, "can trav
el without soon recognizing the emin
ently practical work of the Y. VV. C. A.
Representatives of the Association meet
strangers who come to the city; they
take care of the girls and provide homes
for them; they maintain an employ
ment bureau; and »the importance of
their work is understood by the peo
ple of Paris. Mrs. Holf, an American
woman, is the mother of Y. W. C. A.
work in Paris, and, taking a great in
terest in the girls, keeps up a large
part of the expenses of the chateau.”
Mrs. Miller then answered questions
asked her by the girls who were pres
ent. Juliet Cross sang a very beauti
ful solo.
The gefneral Y. W. C. A. work for
the new year has been outlined and the
new committees have taken up their
