Very Successful Concert
Season
I hereby hand the Executive Commit
tee of the University of Oregon my fi
nancial report for the University Glee
Club, season of 1910. The activity real
ly receives $463.50 from the Associated
Students, but on account of the student
treasury being forced to meet a deficit
the apportionment has been cut down
to $355.93. Thus the real balance turn
ed by the Glee Club is $115.44 but the
accredited balance is $223.01.
Below is shown the total receipts for
the season and the total gross expenses.
The total receipts of each opera house
are accompanied by theater statements
of each manager of the houses in which
the Glee Club showed. The total gross
expenses are accompanied by a voucher
book that should show in what way all
moneys were expended.

team were picked. The finals of the

either the 220 or the relay race.
The pole vault had not been pulled
off at press time but Fiser was gener
ally conceded the first place. The

BASKETBALL MEN MAY
RECEIVE “O” SWEATERS
The athletic council has been asked to
grant “O” sweaters to the Varsity s
Basketball squad. The recent amend
ment to the student body constitution
granting "O's” to the men, said noth
ing about sweaters and it has been nec
essary to ask the council for them in
order that the letter may be useful as
well as ornamental. It Is not thought
that the council will refuse this re
quest and that the jerseys will be pre
sented at the next Student Body meet
ing.
The men entitled to basketball “O's"
are Jamison, Fenton, Sims, Walker and
Eliot.
LIST TO CELESTIAL CHOIR
Ding and Lai Make Their Debut
in Eugene Vaudeville
William Lai and Harry Ding, the
Chinese students whose success on the
Glee Club last season brought them
several flattering offers from Portland
theatrical managers made their debut
in vaudeville when they filled a week
end engagement for Manager Walker
of the Aloha theatre. In spite of the
fact that the engagement was unexpect
ed and caught them unprepared they
were well received by the teater-goers
and received a good hand on each ap
pearance.
They opened their program with the
duet Madeline and later sang Tessie.
Ding rendered the solo “The Song of
the Anvil” and responded to the en
chore with “Over the Ocean Blue.” Lai
sang “Silver Threads” and wound up
the act with “Has Anybody Here seen
Kelly.” This was their first trip into
stageland except for the Glee club tour
.and the boys arc w’ell pleased with their
success. They have not yet decided
to accept any other offers and it is
cloubtful if they will book for a scries
of engagements this summer.
MISS PROSSER RESGINS
At her own request, Miss Lila Pros
ser has been relieved of the responsi
bility of playing the title role in the
Japanese opera, “Princess Chrysanthe-”
mum” shortly to be produced by the
“■Girls Choral Club” of the Uinversity.
While ML: Prosser’s action is re
grettable, it is prompted by the unex
pcted demands made upon her by re
cent and severe illness in her home, and
; the increasing attention that the prep
I aration of her commencement program
necessitates. Miss Prosser will be a
candidate' for her musical degree in
June.
Miss Florence Cleveland has consented
to accept the part thus made vacant,
and should make a very winsome prin

CRY FOR GREEN CAPS
O. A. C. press dispatch.
Corvallis, Ore., March 28.—Green caps
to be worn by the freshmen the rest of
the college year—this is what the fir ;t
rear students have voted for themselves
at O. A. C., and are only waiting the
sanction of the upperclassmen to don
the verdant badge. In most institutions
the upper classes have to force the caps
on the youngsters; at O. A. C. they take
care of themselves.
ZIMMERMAN AND RAY DEFEAT WASHINGTON 2T01
COLLIER MOTSGHENBAGHER BEAT STANFORD 3 TO 0
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON DEBATE TEAMS UNDER
LEDAERSHIP OF COACH BUCHEN SCORE GREAT
VICTORY OVER TEAMS FROM WASHING
TON AND STANFORD
OREGON TEAMS WIN ON BOTH SIDES OF QUESTION OF GRANTING SHIP SUBSIDIES
Coach Buchen Devises Method af Handling Affirmative Case that
Washington Talkers Cannot Cope With Effectively
By defeating the debate teams of both Washington and Stanfard last
night, Oregon won its second successive Tri-State debate championship.
The question was “Resolved: That that the United States should adopt
a system of ship subsidies.” Oregon’s affirmative team defeated Washington
2, while Oregon’s negative team won from Stanford 3 to 0, and at the same
time Washington also defeated Stanford 3 to 0 at Seattle.
Oregon’s affirmative team, consisting of Zimmerman and Ray, presented a
masterly case and it may fairly be said that Hoover and Clifford, the Washing
ton representatives, though excellent as peakers, hardly made a dent in the in
genious line of argument that Coach Ruchen had evolved. The feature of
this debate was the large amount of extempore talking that was done. By the
very nature of the affirmative argument, Washington was compelled to frame
its case on the spot and Hoover especially did some fine informal speaking.
L. L. Ray opened and outlined the affirmative case, lie was followed by
Raymond Clifford, for Washington, who endeavored to tie Oregon down to the
negative’s interpretation of the question, and called for a more detailed outline
of the proposed plan of subsidies. This was given in a clear exposition by
Howard Zimmerman, the Oregon leader, who closed the affirmative construc
tative discussion. Glen Hoover then spoke for the negative. He confessed
himself surprised by Oregon’s presentation of the case, and atempted to speak
against ship subsidies in general. Each speaker w'as then allowed a live-minute
rebuttal speech.
'flic judges, Principal J. R. Wilson, of Portland Academy, Principal It. H.
Herdman, of Portland High School, and Hon. R. W. Wilbur, of Portland,
rendered a 2 to 1 decision for the affirmative.
Oregon’s negative team won on the same question from Stanford at Palo
Alto, but this decision was unanimous. Press dispatches state that the work
of the Oregon team was remarkably good, and that special credit for the vic
tory is due to “Prexv” Collier for wonderful rebuttal argument. His conten
tion was, that foreign ships can carry our goods cheaper than can our own
ships, and that we should not divert our capital from the fields where it is
relatively more effective. He thus showed that ship subsidies, would have a
tendency toward economic loss and impaired industrial efficiency. E. F.. Tin
eher and P. N. Wood composed the Stanford team. The judges were Harris
Weilstock and Max Thielsen and Judge Stanley Hall, all of San Francisco.
From Pa1a Alto Coach Ruchen leaves directly for Salt Lake, where he
will be joined by Zimmerman and Ray before the debate with the University
of Utah on the same question.
The news «;f Oregon’s victory was the signal‘for considerable rejoicing
and jollification among the students.
During the past week J. Earl Jones
and Raymond Heider, two juniors in
the Civil Engineering Department, have
been engaged in surveying near Wood
burn. The men learned many things
about the practical side of their work.
