WILLPRODUGE“ATYALE Dramatic Club Selects It For Its Most Important Production “At \ ale” will be the play presented by the Dramatic Club as its most pre tentious production this spring. I his decision wa sarrived at by the committee of selection, consisting of Maude Beals, Birdie Wise and Ralph Moores. The other plays considered were “Brown of Harvard,” “The Vir-I ginian,” and “Checkers.” “At Yale” was chosen because it, more than the others,1 was fairly independent of any one actor and because it had the rah. rah, atmos pherc, so important in college produc tions. • '*w ' - As the name indicates, At Yale is a story of the great New England col lege in the “80’s,” and the principal action centers around the rowing crew with the Eternal feminine figuring con siderably. The cast for the play has not yet been (decided upon, and it is just possible that because of the paurity of active mascuilen members in the Dramatic Club, another tryout may be held, be fore the cast is selected.

Ray and Zimmerman will be pitted against Glenn Hoover and Raymond Clifford, who are coming from the Uni versity of Washington with blood in their eyes and with the determination to avenge their overwhelming defeat of last year and to regain the cham pionship of the Northwest, which is now held by Oregon. Coach Buchen’s veterans promise to do more than hold their own with the HOWARD ZIMMERMAN, ’13 Who Will Head Debate Against Washington Friday Washington men, and the best, closest and most interesting debate ever held in Eugene may be expected. The teams are so closely matched that a fight to the finish will be begun when Mr. Ray Goodrich, who will referee the contest in the capacity of chairman of the ev ening. calls upon L. Leon Ray to open the case for the affirmative. Clifford, of Washington, will prob ably follow Ray, and then Zimmerman will take the floor for Oregon. Hoover the debater, wrestler, and orator, will close the constructive argument for the negative, and each speaker will then be given five minutes for rebuttal. The tight will be hottest here, but those who know Zimmerman feel confident that he will prove himself the equal of the re nowned Hoover. If such is the case, Oregon will get the decision.

GREATEST AMERICAN TO STOP AT DEPOT FOR TEN MINUTES S. P. CO. WILL NOT STOP SHASTA AT “U Assembly Will Be Dismissed to Allow Students to Make Depot I heodore Roosevelt, who has just com pleted a series of Earl lectures upon economic and political topics: at the University of California, will pass through Eugene next Wednesday morn ing, and will probably deliver a short address to the students and townspeo ple. Dr. Joseph Schafer, who has been corresponding with the ex-president, stating that he would be glad to speak on the campus, provided the Southern Pacific Company would stop the Shasta Limited. The matter was tiakcn up with Manager O’Brien, who declined to stop the train, on the ground that such action would establish a precedent for the trip, and if the schedule of the train was once broken was once broken, infinite delay would result from numer ous petitions for stops. Mr. O’Brien did state, however, that the train would regularly stop for about ten minutes at about 10:30 Wednesday morning, which would afford students and towns people a chance to see and hear the greatest living American. It is probable that no assembly will be held next Wednesday, to allow the students and faculty to make the de pot. Mr. Roosevelt is travelling very plain ly and unostentatiously, with only bis private secretary as companion. TTe has no private ear, and is touring the coun trv merelv as a tourist in the Pullman. Id is sn,etches on this trip have been characteristic,alb' live and interesting, and were remarkably well received in California. CANOPY ON THE RACE EMERALD PIGGER COUNTS Along in these spring days, when pig ging and infantile paralysis are so prev alent, the discreet pigger who “would a-wooing go," wonders how large is the supply of gondolas on our classic stream. Capitalist Bond has the olive wreath for number of canoes owned, with it count of seven, but all of the twenty-six other personages on the cam pus who own canoes are ready to take issue as to the respective merits of their special articles of furniture. Among the faculty, individually and collective ly, three of the submarines arc owned, and among the alumnae and towns people in general an even dozen can he counted. All told, when the canoe car nivd brings them all forth from their ' hiding places, and making no allowance for a surplus in anyone’s exchequer which will permit said person to own one, two score and eight canoes will be on hand. | c re of. will support a family, and is far superior as a money maker to a larger orchard,” is the opinion of Thom as Shaw, of St. Paul, who is in charge of the Great Northern Experiment sta tion. Nat Kimball, '14, spent the w'eck end in Portland.
