VOLUME 11 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON EUGENE, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1910. 45 INCREASED INTEREST POINTS TO SUCCESS time approaching for PRESENTATION OF SENIOR PLAY Good Talent and Splendid Fea tures Promised—Will Be Great Society Event. As the time draws near for the pre sentation of "Captain Letterblair,” the great comedy which the seniors have so carefully prepared, interest in the event is widening and there is every assurance that it will be a great financial as well as a splendid dramatic success. Orders for seats from out of town people, the elite of the town and University soci ety people are aranging for the boxes and a general eagerness is becoming manifest to see how the dignitaris of the upper class will behave before the footlights. Sundry hints about the incidents of the play are largely responsible for this interest. Aspiring freshn.en are anx ious to learn just how Dudley Clarke will make love, and incidentally wade through the dilemma of having kissed the wrong woman. Timid seniors are wondering if the sheriff will interfere when, right in the center of dry old Eugene, four of their classmates so far forget their dignied station as to wor ship at the shrine of Bacchus. And then, will it not be worth while to see Roy Heats Terry get real tipsy, throw a man off the stage and make it gen erally manifest that his blood is danc ing through his veins like wilier And furthermore, the play will not be lacking in interest to the critical among the audience. The cast is all of a high grade. All but two are members of the dramatic club and have appeared beiore local audiences in the past. They have practiced faithfully for the last month under the direction of Professor I. M. Glen, who has coached all the senior plays ever produced at the University, and has never had a lailure. Jennie Lilly, as Hyacinth, and Har old Bates, as the Dean, a saucy old maid and a crusty old bachelor, are said to form as delightful an old.couple as one would care to see. The fir '>1 love scene goes off with a snap and vigor which does credit to the long experience of the participants. Dress rehearsals will take place at the theatre on Thursday and Friday. The stage scenery ordered by Manager Terry which is said to be very beautiful, has arrived and will be in readiness. Owing to the excellence of the play and the untiring efforts of Manager Terry, the debts of the senior class can probably tt'i he paid with the proceeds from the play. As the indications point to a "standing room only” house, those who desire seats had best engage them early. 1 he law departments of the Universi ty of Oregon and the University of W ashington will meet in debate on May 13' die same date as the co-ed debate. 1 he University of California has found it impossible to send her rowing ■crew against the University of Wash ington this spring. JACKSON COUNTY MEN WILL BOOST AT HOME "Rah! Rah! Rah! Jackson County!” issuing from Villard Hall last Monday afternoon announced the formation of the Jackson County Club at the Univer sity. 1 he officers elected were Fred iStrang, a Medford sophomore, president; Miss Elizabeth Wagner and Everette Smith, of Ashland, vice president and secretary respectively. Although no constitution was drawn up at this meeting, definite plans were laid for the future. Metings will be held once every month at the University, and one or two will take place during the summer. The club will do everything it can toward boosting the interests of the University in the home county. The main purpose of the club, however, is to bring its members in closer association with each other. The plans are to make the oganization a basis for a fu ture Southern Oregon Alumni Associa tion. The members of the club are: Fred Strang, president, Glen Comvall, Miss McNeal. Miss Ruth Merrick, Earnest Smith, Everette Smith, secretary, Miss Elizabeth Wagner, vice president, Ar thur M. Geary, R. V. Thomas, Miss Mary DeBar, Miss Clara Wines, Miss Armour, and Vernon Vawter. OREGON NOW HAS PAN HELLENIC ASSOCIATION Three National Women’s Frater nities Form Local Pro tective Union The Pan-Hellenic Association, an or ganization of the national sororities and women’s fraternities for the purpose of regulating “rushing,” and other mat ters concerning sorority life, was or ganized hy the thre local chaptrs at the University of Oregon yesterday after noon. The members in the order of their installation are the Gamma Phi Beta sor ority, the Chi Omega fraternity, and the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity. A pres ident, secretary and treasurer were elect ed yesterday, one from each member of the association. They are respectively Ruth Hansen, Bertha Dorris, and Fran ces Oberteuffer. The Pan-Hellenic Association is an es tablished order in most of the large uni versities of the United States. It makes rules as to when and how pledges are to be secured, and enforces strict pen alties for their violation, at times com pelling all new members to be forfeited. Some time before college opens next fall, the local association will meet and formulate rules. It is probable that no “rushing” will be allowed until a certain specified date after college opens. Unless the University of Wisconsin cancels her crew race with the Univer sity of Washington this spring, the for mer institution will not be permitted to enter a crew in the regatta at Pough keepsie in June. It is believed that the stewards of the big regatta will refuse entrance to the Badger crew because they will meet a crew which is not a member of a college rowing associa tion.

THIRD DOUGHNUT GAME WON BY BETA THETA PI in a weird exhibition of baseball Mon day evening, the Beta Theta Pi team defeated the Kappa Sigma cup defend ers of the Doughnut League by the score of 12 to 0. Aided by a series of wild pitches, walks, hits, and stolen bases, the Betas obtained a safe lead of live runs in the first inning. During the remainder oi the contest both teams settled down to a more consistent game, but the lead was maintained by Beta throughout. l he Kappa Sigma team showed a woe ful lack of practice and team work, while the Beta iheta Pi jugglers showed the better form throughout. I he game was well attended by enthu siastic admirers oi both teams. Dark ness again put an end to the exhibition in tlie seventh inning. Arbie E. Leech was the successful orator in the oratorical tryout at the University of Montana on March 30th, and will represent that institution in the Interstate contest to be held in Eugene. Mr. Leech has been very prominent in student activities, and has had consid erable experience in oratory. OREGON PLAYS IDAHO TEAM NEXT TUESDAY Good Chance to Leave Home With One Thousand Per Cent H4 * * * :i< * * * * * * * * Pictures of the baseball teams in * * action will be on the slides at the * '* Shell theater Friday and Saturday. * 1 1 liese pictures have been taken of * * the men on the field and will give a * * good idea to the, as yet, uninitiated * * wherein lies Oregon’s hopes for the * * Northwest championship. ********* Next Monday and Tuesday the Ore gon baseball tossers will play the Uni versity of Idaho nine at Midway Park. All the dope seems to be that Oregon should win both games, and if she does it will give her a grasp on the pennant that the other Northwestern conference colleges will find it hard to loosen. The importance of leaving town for the long trip through the Inland Empire with a percentage of 1000 to her credit can not be over-estimated, and every effort will be made to make this a reality. With the exception of McKenzie, who has left town, the team is in fine trim and every man on the squad is bubbling over with confidence. .Henkle, Rhinehart . i and Tom Word will compose the pitch ing staff for these two games, while Gabrielson and Chuck Taylor will be at the receiving end. Season tickets are now $1.75, and will | remain at that figure until after these two games. It is hardly possible that the Univer sity of Washington will participate in more than one regatta this spring. Stan ford and California have found it im possible to arrange for a date, thus leaving only the race with Wisconsin. WARNER OF CORNELL TO COACH FOOTBALL OREGON GETS MAN WITH SEVEN YEARS EXPERI ENCE FOR $1200 Has Coached Sherman Indians, University of North Carolina, And Colgate University. William J. Warner, graduate of Cor nell in 1902, who has been coaching con tinuously tor the past seven years without ever having turned out a losing team, is to coach Oregon next fall for a salary of $1200 and expenses. While in Cornell, Warner made the football team for four years straight, and was captain during his junior and senior years. He was three times cho sen for the All-American team by Wal ter Camp. After taking his B. A. and LL. U. 'degrees, Warner took up the practice of law in Buffalo, New York, wfth foot ball coaching as a side issue. He first coached his alma mater in 1903, and since then has coached the Sherman In dians, the University of North Caro lina, and Colgate University, turning out winning teams for all these schools. He had finally decided to quit coach ing. and had already turned down sev eral offers from Eastern schools which would have paid a larger salary than he will receive here, but a desire to lo cate in the West has caused him to change his mind. Warner is a brother of the great Glenn S. Warner, who has been for so many years the coach of the successful Carlisle Indians, and the two will work together next fail as they have done in the past; each keeping the other in formed of the latest plays in his sec tion of tlie country. The choice of Warner for next fall is regarded as a good omen for Oregon, for with the radical changes that are being adopted in football rules it will be practically every coach for himself next fall, and a man of such long and varied experience will have a tremen dous advantage. GERMAN CLUB MEETS WITH PROF. SCHMIDT The German Club spent a very en joyable evening at )lhe residence (of Professor F. G. Schmidt last night. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the music produced on the high class phonograph loaned the club by Mr. W. J. Hill, of Hill’s gun store. German songs were played and selections from the best German operas from records made by Madame Schu man-Heink and other famous singers. At the close of the impromptu concert, the club pased a resolution thanking Mr. Hill for his kindnes in loaning the instrument and records.. Orders for commencement announce ments must be in the hands of the sen ior committee on or before one week from today. Caroline Dunstan, Grace LaBrie and C. A. Steele will receive orders.
