The Senior Play There is no lack of excellent rea sons why tlie Senior Play, which is to lie given at the Eugene Theatre, Satur day night, should be greeted by the largest audience on record. In fact, there is every reason why the student body should make its attendance unan imous, or so nearly unanimous that only those who are consumed with the i desire to be lonesome on Saturday night would fail to be numbered among those j present. Why should every one be anxious to go? Because it is the biggest so cial event of the senior class during the year. Because it will be the big gest theatrical performance in the Uni versity of Oregon this year. Nay, more than that, Professor Glen, who has been directing the rehearsals, lias whispered that it is to he the best play that has ever been presented by any senior class in the University. Besides- that, the students are personally acquainted with the members of the cast, who rank among the most popular and represen tative members of the student body, and will feel a personal interest in their success. No, wliru tlic salt* of tickets opens :n tin 'ofclock on I'riday morning, the lobby of the theatre alaint the box oilier should by no means look vacant. Die only vacant look should he found on the face of the student who delayed until the eleventh hour, and made his decision to attend the senior play, only in time to hud that all of the seats were sold and standing room was at a premium. () yes, and there is another reason, especially for members of the senior class The class of 1 ‘>10 is still in debt for the Oregana, and will soon have a number of other obligations to meet. (.'lass Treasurer lerry, who is also managing the play, hopes to clear enough from Saturday night's receipts, so that all these hills may lie met without it becoming necessary for a class tax to be levied 1'or this reason,; aside from all the other reasons, it he-; hooves every member of the senior class to make it a matter of personal inter est to use every bit of influence he or she mav possess to make the attendance at the Senior Play this year the big-! gist ever. A Shame to the Varsity Idle whole student body owes an apol ogy. bo Hill Hayward, to CaptainWil liams, to Manager b.spy. How can they look these men in the face after the shameful way they patronized the track meet last night? Had they gone and jeered, it would not have been so bad. Ridicule is hard to bear, but silently to ignore cuts deeper. We speak of our trainer as the great est in the West. Last fall no man was more popular on the campus, and this i is probably still true. But what is pop ularity worth when his work is ig nored ? Xo one feels this slight to track ath letics more than Captain Williams. On him falls the responsibility of leading the first track team in five years to defeat. Yes, to defeat—there can be little doubt of it now. Lack of material might be overcome, but never lack of spirit. Our captain can not be blamed for this. He has done all in his power. Every day throughout the year he has 1 trained, beginning so early and work ing so hard that Hayward feared he might over train. He will be the best, pole vaulter in the Northwest again this year, but what are his five points worth when there are few more m sight and the students ignore them? All right, there is only one thing to add to this obituary. In the past Ore gon has concentrated her efforts on track during the spring. This year | other sports, not so truly collegiate, have been taken up. Track, how'ever, is the big varsity sport besides football, and it remains to be seen if Oregon can enter these other branches. If it means to sacrifice track, she can not. W. S. C. GETS GAME WITH WASHINGTON Schedule Will Stand and no Game Will Be Played With Oregon University of Washington, April A— After several weeks of difficulty in ar- | ranging a contract with Washington State College for the coming football season, a two-year agreement was deli- ! nitely closed this noon, when Dean Mil nor Roberts and Manager Zednick add- > ed their names to the signatures of W.
