Summary: Struck out—Cousins 10,
COLUMBIA TRYOUTS
SET FOR APRIL 9th
On April 9th, unless the as-yet-in
dehnite O. A. C. meet comes on that
date, a track tryout will be held for
the purpose of choosing fourteen men
to represent the University at the Co
lumbia Indoor meet on April 16th.
The date for the O. A. C. meet has
not been set, but it is thought that it
will be held during the latter part of
the month. In the case that it is held
on April 9th the tryout will be post
poned until the following week.
Y. W. C. A. Secretary Coming
The two Y. M. C. secretaries, Miss
Gage and Miss Hopkins, are planning to
lie here for a part of next week and
a parlor conference will he held at the
Gamma Phi House live o’clock on Sun
day afternoon.
An interesting meeting is to be held on
Monday at the regular time. The sub
jejct will be "Missions,” and Mr. Gor
rell is to give a talk on China.
Thanks to the successful gymnasium
exhibition given the other night, a good
ly amount was turned over to the Bun
galow Fund—the exact sum will lie re
ported later.
TRACK INTEREST
Students Should Encourage the
Men in Their Daily
Training
One of the chief causes to which
Trainer Hayward attributes Oregon’s
shortage of material and poor prospects
for a winning track team this year is
the general lack of interest among the
students. In former years it was the
custom for the held to be filled with
spectators, but lately they seem to pre
fer baseball and the mill race.
"Since training began,” Isays Hay*
ward, “there have been just two people
who took interest enough in the team
to warm seats in the grandstand for a
few moments one evening during train
ing hours. There are men and women
in college that don’t know who is doing
track work or what the track looks
like. There is nothing that so en
courages track men as to know that
their efforts are being observed by an
appreciative audience. Oregon’s chances
of winning never did look gloomier. If
we do win it must be through the con
certed action of every one in college,
and it is up to every loyal stiuknt to
get out and do his part.”

"We have starred at the top of the
league anflT it will take a pretty hard
jolt to bring us down," said manager
Jamieson yesterday in summing up the
baseball situation. "We have every
thing we need except student support,"
he continued. "We must sell one hun
dred more tickets on the campus. If
the students vvil sltand behind us we
will probably win all games played on
.la home grounds.”
Although the crowds at the games
were above the average, .vet less than
two hundred season tickets have been
disposed of, and in order to help along
the sale Manager Jamison has decided
to reduce the price to one dollar and
seventy-five cents, or about twenty-two
cents a game, and to make a thorough
canvass of the student body next week.
The original schedule of the trip dur
ing spring vacation called for two games
each with Whitman, Washington State
College, and Idaho. In addition to these
Manager Jamison has arranged for two
games with Washington in Seattle on
April 13th and 14th, a game with the
Spokane No^thwe^t League team in
Spokane on Friday .April 15th, and on
the remaining open date will probably
arrange tor a game with Coeur de
Alette or Lewiston in Idaho. This
makes nine games definitely arranged
for and one probably to he added. Man
ager Jamison thinks that the consent
of the Spokane team to take on a col
lege team just before the league season
opens is sufficient guarantee that Coach
Kelly has turned out a fast bunch.
The next games to be played here are
two with Idaho on the 11th and 12th of
this month. The Idaho team is a sort
of unknown quantity this year but it is
said by the Whitman men to be pretty
strong.
No changes have been made in the
squad since it was picked two weeks
ago. Coach Kelly is holding over all
pitchers for further tryouts. The sec
ond team will go to Pleasant Hill one
week from today to try their strength
on the team from that place.
Miss Gage, the Y. W. C. A. secre
tary, is a guest at the Gamma Phi Beta
house.
Mrs. Job, of Cottage Grove, is vis
iting her daughter at the Klosche Tilla
| cum house.
Ethel Clark has been on the invalid
| list for the past week.
DORMITORY RECEPTION
GIVEN LAST EVENING
I he many friends of the Dormitory
Cluh enjoyed a pleasant evening at then
open house last night. The Dormitory
parlors were tastefully decorated in
Oregon Grape and pennants. Music by
one of the city’s best orchestras was a
pleasing feature of the evening.
During the evening the guests were
taken on a tour of inspection of the
hoy's rooms, many of whom received
praise for their skillful adornment.
In the receiving line wer:e Mrs. Pres
cott, Mrs. Pencil, Mrs. Straub, Presi
dent Campbell, B. W. Prescott and W.
C. Nicholas. Raphael Geisler met the
guests at the door.
German Club Meets Tuesday
The Vereiu Germania will hold its
next regular meeting Tuesday night,
April 5, at the home of Dr. Schmidt.
An interesting program has been pre
pared for the occasion, among the fea
tures of which will be a talk on the
great masters, by Miss Morgan, a Ger
man spelling match, and a number of
the best German operatic selections
which will be played on the grapho
plione.
AERONAUTICS TAKEN
UP AFTER HOLIDAYS
Converse Yields to Demand and
Agrees to Give Regular
Course
The senior electrical and mechanical
engineers will be given a course in
aeronautics by C. W. Converse, immed
iately after the spring vacation, as a part
of the senior course in internal combus
tion engines.
First the high speed motors used
on air ships will be studied in detail.
Then the design of the various types
of dirigible baloons and aeroplanes will
he taken up, with especial attention to
the construction of wings, starring appm
atus, stearing gear, and balancing ar
rangements. No text bookts will be
used lmt the students will look up re
ferences in the library.
Next year Mr. Converse will teach a
course in aeronautics open to all en
gineering students. “Some time ago,” he
said, “it was .announced in the Emerald
that I would teach such a course. Since
then so many students have inquqired
about it, that I guess I will have io
do it. I told some of them that if they
would get fifteen or twenty together next
year, I would give them the course they
wanted.”
Mr. Converse has not yet decided
whether any credit will be given. It
may take the form of an aero club, be
fore which lie and the students theca
s'Ives will deliver lectures. However, it
may be, he has been studying deeply in
to the subjejct, himself, in prepartition.

Chauncey Cunning, ’10, has left the

its to graduate. Mr. Cunning was a
member of the executive committee and
leaves a vacancy which will be filled
I next week.
SENIOR PUIY WILL BE
BI6 THEATRICAL EVENT
UNIVERSITY SOCIETY OUT
IN FORCE FOR CAPT.
LETTERBLAIR
Brilliant Rehearsals; Clever Com
edy Indicate Best Senior Play
Ever Presented.
"Captain Lettterbjair,” ttlte three-act
comedy that the senior class will pre
sent just one week from tonight, will be
the biggest social event of the senior
class and the one big theatrical per
formance in University circles during
the year.
('he boxes will be occupied with the
University society people, several of the
women's fraternities having already en
gaged seats for all their members. Many
out of town people are also expected.
I lie play is pronounced by those who
have seen the rehearsals that are going
on regularly in the Villard Hall to be
the best that any senior class has ever
presented. Interesting in plot and full
of fun and cleverness in eveiy scene, it
relates the fortunes of an Irish officer
in connection with a beautiful English
girl, with whom the former is in love.
Financial troubles, a misunderstanding,
a lovers’ quarrel, and the subsequent re
conciliation form the main story. Inter
woven into this are also the love af
fairs of two other couples who take
prominent parts.
Captain Lctterblair, Litton is the
character assigned to Dudley R. Clarke,
the well known captain of the univer
sity football and baseball teams for this
year. "YVe have all seen Dud play foot
ball and baseball but we now have an
opportunity to see him play soldier,” is
is one of the strong arguments Mana
ger 'Perry puts forth in favor of his
character. "He makes as handsome an
officer as one can find anywhere, and
makes love with an ardour that shows
long experience.
Miss S. Frances OherteufTer carries
the difficult role of the young English
lady who, by her desire to help, creates
so much trouble. Miss Oberteuffer has
had a great deal of dramatic experi
ence in High School and in the Uni
versity Dramatic Club. One of the
most striking features of the entire pro
duction will be the beautiful gowns worn
by Miss Oberteuffer.
Phis play has, as all good plays must
have, a villian. The part is taken by an
all northwest football star, who is also
President of the Iframatic Club, Wil
liam Charles Kilt/, who has the regu
lation black hair and dark eyes re
quired of the villian. He also has the
ability to play that difficult role with
success. Harold Edwards Bates appears
as the Dean, the uncle of Captain Let
terblair, 11 is is a character role present
ing much that is funny in a very droll
manner. The cast would be sadly lack
; ing without the Dean.
Benjamin H. William, President of
the Student Body, Track Captain for
1910 and last year’s Inter-State Orator,
makes a dash into the realm of drama
as Mr. Seaton, Fanny’s guardian. Mr.
Williams has made good in everything
lie has entered during his University
