DRAMATIC CLUB GIVES BIG PLAY THURSDAY CAST FOR “PROFESSOR’S LOVE STORY” REHEARS ING DAILY New Scenery and Costumes in Readiness for Play at Eugene Theater—Vic Voight in Lead ing Role. Probably the most elaborate and pre tentious dramatic effort ever attempted by the students of the University will he “The Professor’s Love Story,” under the auspices of the Dramatic Club, in the Eugene Theatre next Thursday night as the opening event in this year’s Junior Week End program. The members of the cast, under the directorship of Professor Glen, are working industriously to make their most ambitious effort a success. Over a hundred dollars’ worth of new scen ery and properties have been ordered and the girls are to appear in new cos tumes prepared especially for this oc casion. Vic. Voight, in the title role, as the forgetful Professor, acquits him self creditably, being especially good at forgetting, .as bis teacher can doubt less testify. I he following is the cast of charac ters : Professor Goodwills, Victor Voight; Lucy White, his coy little sec retary, Ruth Duniway; Miss Goodwil ls, his sister, Maud Reals; Dr. Cousins, the Professor’s London physician, L. j. Canfield; Dr. Yellowleaves, who attends the Profesor in the country, Lair Greg ory; The Dowager, Juliet Cross; Lady Gilding, who wants to marry the Pro fessor, Bertha Cummings; Sir George Gilding, intimate friend of the Pro fessor, Edward Himes; Efifie, the ser vant of the Professor, Naomi William son. E. E. Dunton as Pete, and Ro land Kennedy as I lenders, are Scotch workmen, both of whom are in love with Elbe. The play begins in London, where the overworked Professor meets the Dow ager and falls in love with her. How ever, his breakdown compels him to move to his country home, Tullocmnins. Doctor Cousins does his part hy admin istering to the Professor the proper remedy for every catalogued disease, from the chilblains to lumbago. Each cure, though, fails to touch the scat of the disturbance, which is, in reality, only ihe Professor’s love-laden heart. As the Professor regains his strength, he finds himself in love with Lucy. He confides his infatuation for his secre tary to Dr. Cousins and the Dowager suddenly discovers that she has been turned down hard. The engagement of Lucy and the Professor is implied if not announced, and they live hap pily ever afterward. The Scotch servants manipulate a rich plaid broque, like headliners, and the perfidious Henders mixes them into a humorous by-plot. The play is particularly rich in fun and comical situations. It is too elab orate to be given in Villard Hall, as the club's former sketches have been, and will be played in the Eugene Thea ter. is Oregon dead in track.- Never! KILPATRICK’S URCHINS DEFEAT SECOND TEAM Fun, Mixed With Errors, Fur nish Sensation On Prac tice Diamond A comedy of errors was enacted on the practice diamond when Kilpatrick’s Pleasant Hill team took the long end of a 4 to 0 score fro mthe University second team last night. The second team furnished the errors, while Kil patrick’s urchins—some of them taller than the hats they weilded—furnished the comedy. Their pitcher had every thing and used his curves effectively, allowing hut one hit. He was given perfect support by his baity-giant field ers. 1 lie visitors earned one run, and the others just slipped in while their oppo nents were booting the ball around the lot. I he second team expect to do some hard practicing during the next two weeks, and hope to retrieve themselves in a return game. DEFEAT BREWING FOR 0. A. G.

C. supporters have built high hopes of at last defeating Oregon’s weakened tea.m and adopting the rhet torical slogan, “On to Oregon May 20,” they promise to be here about fifteen hundred strong to root for their team. Xot an Oregon man, however, will acknowledge that there is a possibility of (). A. C. winning. All the Oregon men, with the excep tion of Jim Johns, who was overtrained before the Seattle meet, tire in perfect condition. Fat Hailey tosses the hammer 137 feet, Hilly Will throws the javelin 140 feet, while McClure promises to clip a few seconds off the Northwest record in the mile before the year is over.

OREGON BREAKS EVEN IN SERIES WITH U. W. WELL BALANCED SEATTLE TEAM WINS SECOND GAME EASILY Both Games Full of Sensational Fielding Stunts—Two Home Runs Off Henkel’s Delivery lu the second game of the series played at Midway Park Thursday afternoon, the Cniversity of Washington baseball artists trimmed Torn Kelly’s Oregon club by the score of 100 to 1. Word was on the mound for Oregon, and though hit freely, the overwhelming score fails to do credit to his pitching, l lie ()rcgon inlield was decidedly off color. I'lieir booting the ball at crit ical times was mainly responsible for (Iregon’s defeat. Jamison at first, how ever, accepted difficult chances and wild throws without an error. In the out field Captain Clarke played his usual reliable game, accepting easy and diffi cult chances with equal certainty. For Washington, every man was a bright and particular star in some department id' the game, and without doubt made up the fastest and best balanced team seen on the local diamond this year. Wednesday’s game, however, tells a different tale, and the Oregon nine an nexed a hard earned victory by the score of 3 to 2. The result of the game was questionable, and the big crowd of students in attendance were kept "on their toes” until the last visitor was retired in the ninth chapter. Henkel, the big Oregon southpaw, was in good form and, aided by consistent support at critical times, managed to keep the Washington sluggers under control. 1 he game was tilled with sensational fielding and hard hitting, both the Wash ington scores being due to home run clouts by Baker and feats. Jamison on first starred for Oregon, accepting everything that came his way in big' league style. Dud. Clarke saved the game for Oregon in the eighth (Continued on last page.) WASHINGTON WINS TWO DEBATES FROM OREGON Both The Women’s Debating Team and Law School Lose Hard Fought Contest Washington won a double victory from Oregon last night when the Var sity co-eds and the Law Department’s debating teams went down before them in closely contested debates. I he former was a two to one decis ion, in which the honors were extreme ly even, .and many thought the losing team did the better work. Miss Birdie Wise, 12, was leader of the Oregon team. She was ably supported by Miss Fay Clark, '12, and Miss Corinne Deg I erntark, ’13.
