UNIVERSITY OF OREGON EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 30, 1910 VOLUME 11 No. 43 SIGMA NUS TAKE FIRST GAME IN FRAT LEAGUE WIN FROM BEAVERS BY SCORE OF FOURTEEN TO FOUR Game Full of Fun and Sensation Witnessed by Big Crowd and Attracts Much Attention. In a game filled with more or less sensational baseball, Tuesday afternoon, the Sigma Nu pennant chasers of the Doughnut League, smothered the Beav er colony by the score of 14 to 4. Bob Kellogg, the big Sigma Nu twirler, scat tered hits, and struck out eleven bats men. For the Beavers, Dolly Gray pitch ed a steady up hill game, and with more consistent support the result of the game would have been questionable. By timely hitting coupled with un fortunate “bungles” on the part of the opposing team, the Sigma Nu sluggers piled up six runs in the first inning and live in the eighth. Aside from these two innings the game was well played. The batting and base running of Huston was a feature. In the eighth inning Ersel Kay drove a long fly into center field, and complet ed the circuit of the liases for the only home run of the game. For the Beav ers Shattuck and Henkle played the best ball.

ALDERMAN STARTS NEW BOOST MOVEMENT A unique and far reaching movement, consisting of student committees to do personal work in every county in the Alderman, of the Education Department. Plans were outlined yesterday, and Pres ident Williams of the Associated Stu dents, has appointed committee chair men to meet for organization of their work tomorrow at four o'clock in Deady Hall. One committee chairman from each county will have charge of several stu dent workers—one or more from each high school—whose business it will be to keep in touch with the high school students and especially the graduating class. The aim is to keep the prepara tory schools interested in carrying on their education, in the State University, and if possible to induce them to enroll here next year. Professor Alderman has become wide ly acquainted with the work of the high schools and his experience has convinced him of the need and value of such a system, not only as an aid to the growth of the University but as a stimulating influence among high school students.

A brewery where real beer will be manufactured is to be installed on the agricultural farm at the University of Minnesota. STUDENTS ARE PLEASED WITH DR. HUGH BLACK GOOD ADVICE GIVEN IN AS SEMBLY ADDRESS THIS MORNING “What to Read and How to Read It” Explained by Noted East ern Lecturer. On the subject, “What to Read and How to Read It, ’ Ur. Hugh Black, the noted author and lecturer, this morning delivered one of the best and most ap preciated speeches presented at Assem bly this year. His talk was fill of pithy sayings, forceful summaries and good advice. "Reading." said the speaker, "is one of the neglected arts. Many a student who has learned the hard and difficult are of studying has not learned the easy art of reading.” He quoted Lamb's saying, "There are books and books that are not bokos,” and included among those which are "not books” dictionaries, text books and “block headed encyclo pedias.” "Proof,” be said, “Unu most students do not learn how to read is found in the fact that alumni as well as students have no time to read.” “The great problem,” continued the speaker, "is where to begin and where to end. And the first thing to learn in solving this problem is what not to read. The lirst principle of selection is the principle of rejection. You must learn to overcome the temptation to keep up with the latest novels. The art of omission is the great art of life. You must make up your mind that you are not required to read the six best sel lers.” In speaking of newspapers, Dr. Black said that they should be read to a cer tain extent. “History,” he asserted, "is making in our own time as well as in the past.” To read the papers through from beginning to end, however, is, in his opinion, no more real economy than to save the strings from our grocers. “Literature is only the application of life,” he said, “and it takes a great deal of life to make a little literature.” He took, as the nucleus of his advice, on the selection of books, the three rules of Emerson: (1) “Read only the old books,” (2) “Read only famous books,” (3) “Read what you like.” In explana tion of the first rule he said: “This world has a remarkable way of bury ing the dead—of disposing of its rub bish and sifting out its jewels. Where are last year’s six best sellers? If a book is old and still lives there is some thing in it. Still to pay no attention to present art is to kill art.” On the second rule, he said, we must have an attitude of passivxe reception to get the most from an author. “It is,” he says, “ a matter of absorbing the at mosphere of a book.” To reflect upon what we read, to practice the art of at tention, to look beneath the surface of a book, and to get in touch with the au thor and follow him to the end were some of the things strongly urged in this connection.

GAME SATURDAY WAS A PITCHER’S RATTLE Henkle Outclasses the Great Borleske In First Game of Year Saturday’s baseball game between Whitman and Oregon, which ended in a score of four to one in Oregon’s fa vor, was a pitcher's battle in which Hen kel, Oregon’s southpaw, had all the best of it. All through the game he had the northerners at his mercy, fanning six men and only allowing four scattered hits. Whitman’s one score, in the seventh, inning, was made possible by errors on the part of Oregon’s infielders, who for a few moments were up in the air. Or egon's four runs were made in the eighth as a result of four hits, a pass and a sacrifice. Ben Chandler and Van Marter both accepted hard chances which they handled in big league fash ion, Van Marter making a running catch of a long high fly over the first base line that brought the crowd to its feet.

ERRORLESS GAME WON FINE SUPPORT ENABLES HENKLE TO SHUT OUT MISSIONARIES Lucky Run in Seventh Inning Keeps Locals in Leaa and Whitman in Cellar. With llenkle again in the box, sup ported by outfielders, who vied with one another in robbing the Missionaries of well deserved hits, and by inftelders who played in perfect form, Oregon again outclassed Whitman by the slender score of 1-0 Monday afternoon. The game was full of sensational fea tures ; several times the visitors seemed on the verge of scoring , but always with the whole team forming a perfect [phalanx behind him. Oregon’s big south paw pulled himself together and pitched his way out of the hole. The Whit man stickers connected with Hinkle’s curves for nine hits but were unable to meet them when a hit meant a win. Not an error was recorded against the Oregon fielders and Clarke, and Jamie son gathered in several difficult chances. Story of the Game Belt for Whitman was the first man to bat. He drove a long fly to center field which Clarke caught. Borleske drove a grounder to pitcher and was out at first. Stuth struck out. Muir land batted first for Oregon and drove a high fly right into Cox’s hands. Mc Kenzie followed and was out on an infield fly which Dunbar gathered in. Dobie fanned. On the second inning, Johnson and Shubert both hit fast grounders to Hen kel and were out at first. Cox knocked a high foul against the right field fence which Jamieson caught out. Chandler reached first on first baseman’s error, stole second and was advanced by Van Marter’s grounder to third base. Van Marter was thrown out at first. Jamison fanned. The third inning opened with Felt ham at the bat who hit a grounder to Henkle and was out at first. Clarke caught Perring’s fly and Dunbar retired by the Hinkle to Jamieson route. For Oregon, Gabrielson fanned; Henkle and Newland both drove grounders to pit cher and were out at first. On the fourth inning Whitman’s bat ters began to find Hinkle’s curves. Belt and Borleske each hit safely but were left on bases when Stutt, Johnson, and Shubert went out on infield flies. Mc Kenzie drove a grounder to Belt which he fielded to first in plenty of time. Dobie struck out, C larke hit safely antf stole second. Chandler drew a pass, but Van Marter went out at first, end ing the chapter. In the fifth inning, Cox gave Henkle a chance at a hard grounder and was out at first. Felthouse drove a hot one to Newland, but failed to reach first. Perring hit safely and died on first when Dunbar was out by the Hinkle to Jamison route, bor Oregon, Jamison and Gabrielson fanned. Hinkle lined a drive which second base was unable to field, reached second on Stutt’s error which also allowed Newland to reach (Continued on last page.)
