SUBSCRIPTION RATES ne year__SI.00 Single copy - .r5 Wednesday, March 15, 1911 Baseball and Love In it he spring, baseball, like love, has j a powerful attraction for the normal young man's fancy. Also, for many of us, baseball like love is replete with dis appointment and disillusionments. From the large squad out for the nine, and from the number of college cases de veloping tin' two seem equally popu lar, bul judging from previous seasons, disappointments among the team candi dates will be much more numerous than in the other squad, as but a scant doz en can plan on the team while no one seems able to stale just where the re cent and darming popularity of “queen illg" will Stop. ft spe ks well for the everlasting faith, and the indomitable hope of the Varsity students, that so many are will ing to enter the lists, and take their chances m both lines of endeavor. 1 bough Ida Stuart anid icdSucation ^1 authorities may criticise the spring-time tendencies of a co educational college, it is hard to discover anything but hope ful augury in the large number of can did ales turning out daily for baseball. Naturally a considerable number of 'these lorty will be disappointed and probably but a few of the numerous freshmen e vorting and gambolling a bout t oaeb Lynch's efficient direction will in ke good Hut those who have the courage and persistency to stick, until they are sent in, will receive much benefit I hey w ill obtain regular out door exercise; they will make numer ous friends outside of their own par tieular bunch; and they will necessarily imbibe some of the real Oregon spirit. If, in spite of disappointments and tern | porary failure, thi^- turn out the follow '• ing years, they w ill help to build up an j experienced squad and some of them will, no doubt, eventually earn the cov eted “O”. Kvcryoiie of the forty deserves re spent and praise for what he is doing to in ke the team a success, and to keep live \ arxity enterprises Perhaps there may he some clumsy one on the squad "'bum “bather rum” would call “excess baggage and whom you may not think are Varsity ill iterial, but knocks and ‘lisp r,igi”g remarks from the sideline are om o' place Probably the knock cr could do no better, and manifesth be lacks tlie spirit and ginger to try. j I here are enough trials and disappoint I incuts in the career of the would be ball player make unnecessary ridicule from the bleachers With the large Mlu:id, eiueient coach and man igement everything indicates a successful sea son Let us till help it along. Is This the Way? I be following remark was mule in the presence of a number who had nev cr put on a track shoe, but for the hon or of their college were working like Trojans to have their Varsity win: “Pm not coining out for track any more, these tr ,ck shoes hurt my feet." Memories of the past 1 Heroes that represented is on the track in days that are gone by ' Shades of the Ore gon spirit that used to he? What do you think of that? Track hurts some one's dainty little Trilbies for dancing, therefore he will not turn out. Do you wonder that the Washington paper says that Bill lias a continual grouch on? Wouldn’t that remark put the grouch into a mummy? Is that the spirit that is to take the place of the Varsity spirit in the days to come? If it is, then woe to the Oregon spirit. Oregon has but one thing that she must do this year. It is no more beat O. A. C, it is beat Washington—and Washington has 97 men out for track, while Oregon men complain that their track shoes hurt their feet. Mr. Piper's speech this morning was a masterly exposition and vindication of journalism and journalists. Of course to the minority who can some times see good in journalism and jour nalists, no -apology is required, but the vast majority of people regard the av erage papers and newspaper men as abominations, and in some of these Mr. Piper may have aroused more broadness and charity of judgment. CO-EDS REGULATE RUSH ING OF FAIR FRESHMEN I lie Pan-Hellenic Association has de cided to become more of a real power, enlarging its scope by regulating inter sorority house rules, besides a recon struction of the former rushing rules. Although model rules have as yet not been adopted, a committee is work ing out regulations which it is hoped will not only be acceptable to the hous es themselves, but also -to the Univer sity faculty. The idea is to simplify the scope of Sunday entertaining, and make conditions as nearly as possible above the reproach of town people. At their regular meeting Tuesday, several important amendments to the constitution were made. Each sorority will in the future be represented by one alumna and two ac tive members. Previously only one active member was present. Pledge day has ben changed from the first Monday after matriculation, to the Saturday following registration. This will give each of the nationals one day of rushing proper. This amendment was the result of much discussion, since the idea of pledge day on matriculation d v—necessitating summer rushing—or second semester pledging was favored by some of the members. BASKETBALL SITUATION EXTREMELY INTENSE Do the Junior ti'iris lose the Senior Junior haskttball game by default? That is the question whieh is both ering the minds of the elass of '12, or at least the feminine portion of them. I he Senior team appeared on the Lym floor at 5:00 o’cloek, “but where, 1 oh where, had the Juniors gone?” Even the Junior captain was not there. There was trouble somewhere. Who was *o blame? The Juniors had taken the word of one Senior that there would be no game 1 bat Senior knew nothing about the matter, however. The Jun iors had the word, hence no further in vest igation. I his is the situation. The result— who knows? I he agreeable weather of the past three weeks has called a larger number ot golf devotees to the links west of town. One of the best scores recorded so far this season is fortyeight, made by Mis-, Mary Perkins, of the University I English department. This is considered a remarkable feat because of the unfa vorable condition of the course.

FRIDAY NIGHT “The Application of the Principles of the Bible to Present Social Conditions” is the subject of the address that will lit given Friday evening by Dr. Scha fer before the men’s meeting of the Y. M. C. A. The series on the Bible, which has been in progress for sev eral weeks, was interrupted last week to allow for the address of Dr. Hin son. but will be resumed this week, with Dr. Schafer’s address. This is perhaps one of the most prac tical and valuable discusions of the en tire series, because of its up to date ap plication. Dr. Schafer is an ever pop ular college lecturer, and has been se cured by the Y. M. C. A. because of his thorough familiarity with the sub ject. Vernon Motschenbacher will sing and it is promised that the meeting will dismiss promptly. The University of Wisconsin is to have a new woman’s dormitory. Pre vious to this time Wisconsin has been without a woman’s dormitory. The State Universities of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas have organized a pentagonal de bating league. “CALIFORNIA’S ORANGE COUN TRY” Beautifully illustrated in four colors, “The Spell,” and unusual romantic se rial, by C.
