No. 35
II. 0. MUSIC SCHOOL
GIVES SUCCESSFUL
RECITAL IN VILUUtD
EIGHTEEN STUDENTS OF VOICE
AND PIANO PERFORM TO
LARGE AUDIENCE
INTEREST IS KEPT KEEN THROUGHOUT
Lois Powell, Bessie Hendershott, Har
old Humbolt, and Albert Gillette
Were Favorites.
The public recital given by the
students of the University School of
Music Thursday evening in Villard
Hall proved to be one of the most en
joyable recitals ever given by that
school, as attested by the enthusiasm
of the large crowd in attendance. In
all eighteen people performed, but the
program had been so cleverly ar
ranged that the interest was kept con
dant throughout it all; the introduc
tion of men vocalists at psychological
moments saved whatever tiresome sit
uations might have arisen.
Undoubtedly the favorites of the
evening were Mr. Albert Gillette, Mr.
Harold Humbert, Mdss Bessie Hender
shott, and Miss Lois Powell—all vocal
ists. Mesrs. Gillette and Humbert
possess rich baritone voices and sang
their songs in a pleasing manner.
Miss Hendershott sang in high so
prano voice that seemed to be as flex
ible as she wished it to be. Miss Pow
ell’s number was probably enjoyed
most. Her voice of high soprana tim
bre possessed an unusually pleasing
quality and her interpretation of
Bemberg’s waltz was most finished.
The others deserve special mention
also. Ruth Dickey promises to de
velope into a piaonist of worth;
Maud Beals’ contralto voice showed up
well in Burleigh’s “Jean”; Emo Hen
dershott interpreted a Liszt number
with credit; Leona Bish displayed en
two German songs by Franz. Lucile
Yoran sang “My Ain Folk”; Lloyd
Casebeer played two piano numbers;
Florence Avery sang a flower song
cycle of three numbers in good so
prano voice; Lena Newton played a
Schubert number with creditable in
terpretation; Alma Noon sang well
two german songs by Franz; Laale
Abrams surprised the audience with
her rendention of a Grieg number on
the piano. Miss Abrams has hereto
fore appeared in violin solos. Jesse
Fariss played two piano solos in her
usual painstaking manner; Edna Mil
ler sang Chamenade’s “Summer”
with good voice; Alma Payton’s sweet
voice showed to advantage in a boat
song; and Ruth Davis showed ability
in her rendition of “Humoresque,”
by Rachmaninoff.
Miss Nell Murphy and Miss Ruth
Davis acted in the capacity of accom
panists.
CANOE ENTHUSIASTS WILL
MEET MONDAY IN DEADY
With the arrival of Spring there
has been much activity among the
canoe enthusiasts and haunters of the
mill-race, and to materialize it all, a
meeting of the Canoe Club will be held
Monday, at 4 o’clock, in Dr. Schmidt’s
room, to decide upon a membership
limit, and discuss plans for the erec
tion of a boathouse on the banks of
the mill-race, adjacent to the Univer
sity campus.
Although not as yet definitely de
cided, it is planned to limit the mem
bership to thirty enthusiastic pad
dlers, who are owners of canoes. The
present officers of the club are Ralph
D. Moore, president, Flora Dunham,
secretary, Harold Young, treasurer.
PROF YOUNG’S BULLETIN
PRAISED MOST HIGHLY
Prof. F. G. Young’s bulletin on “The
Economics of Oregon’s Good Roads
Problem,” published by the University
some time ago, is attracting wide
spread and favorable attention.
Prof. Earnest F. Ayers, Highway
Engineer at Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, in a letter to Prof. Young, says
that he wishes every voter could be
given a copy of the bulletin, as it
would throw much light on the numer
ous initiative measures coming up
for consideration soon.
C. E. Spencer, master granger and
chairman of the committee on legisla
tive measures, writes in highest praise
of the article and is arranging to have
a copy of it sent to every granger in
the state. The Portland Cement Con
tracting Company of Portland, has
asked for a copy, as have various
other institutions, companies, and in
dividuals in this state and abroad, who
are recognizing its value as a treatise
on the good roads situation.
GIRLS PLAY BASKETBALL
Juniors Take Seniors Into Camp In
Hard Fought Game Full of
Errors.
The Women’s Basketball League
got into action for a game Wednes
day afternoon, in which the Juniors
defeated the Seniors by a score of 16
to 10. The game might well have
been styled a “comedy of errors,”
since neither class had a full team
and but one Junior played her reg
ular position and neither team had
practiced together.
Numerous line fouls were called,
and the spectators along the sidelines
were at all times in danger.
The next game between the Juniors
and Sophomores will determine the
championship and winners of the Hay
ward cup.
The Senior lineup was, center, Em
ma Waterman (captain), forwards,
Ruth Gibson, Neta Bartlett, guards,
Mellissa Martin, Frieda Goldsmith.
The Juniors were, center, Grace,
Hartley, forwards, Maude Nail (cap
tain), Carin Degermark, guards, Eva
Roche, Edna Messenger.
Dr. Stuart and Miss Thompson offi
ciated.
Y. M. C. A. BOOK
EXCHANGE MAKES MONEY
February was a banner business
month for Charlie Koyl’s candy store,
for the hungry campus folk consumed
enough Hershey’s chocolate in various
forms, as to leave a net profit of near
ly ten dollars.
Although the Y. M. C. A. general
secretary is not contemplating any en
largement of his retail trade, along
other mercantile lines, he does prom
ise the same courteous treatment, and
even better service than has been dis
pensed before.
Y. W. C. A. SPEAKER TO
BOOST EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Miss Elizabeth Fox will talk on Wo
man’s Suffrage Monday evening,
March 4, from 8 to 9, in Dr. Shafer’s
room. Miss Fox is an excellent
speaker and those who wish to gain
information concerning the suffrage
question, will find this a good oppor
tunity to do so. Everyone is invited.
Notice—Senior Girls!
There will be an important meet
ing of the senior girls at 4 o’clock
Tuesday, afternoon in Prof. Schmidt’s
room. The purpose of the meeting is
not announced, but several important
questions will come up for discussion
and it is important that all should at
tend.
OREGON WILL PLAY W.
S. G. ON MONDAY AND
TUESDAY NEXT WEEK
PULLMAN GAME MAY BE HARD
EST OF YEAR, IS OPINION
OF FANS
NORTHERN TEAM HAS IMPROVED GREATLY
Lowry, Sampson, and Keinholtz Fast
Rounding Into Shape—Will Star
For Visitors.
Monday and Tuesday night the Var
sity meets W. S. C. on the local floor
and will attempt to repeat the dose
administered to the Pullman team two
weeks ago. The game played with the
Washington State men was one of the
hardest games of the trip and the Var
sity succeeded in winning 18 to 13.
The reports from Pullman indicate
that W. S. C. is a much different team
than the one met by Oregon two
weeks ago, and is out for both Ore
gon games.
Lowry and Sampson, the W. S. C.
forwards, have been slow in getting
into shape and have not hit their
stride in shooting baskets, but if re
ports are true, may upset the Oregon
dope for two more victories. Kein
holtz is one of the best stick-tight
guards in the conference and with him
to ride Jamison around the floor and
their forwards in any kind of shape,
the Varsity will have a hard time dis
posing of the Washington farmers.
The hopes of Oregon for a top rung
on the basketball ladder hinges on
these two games. Coach Hayward has
little to say on the prospects other
than the Varsity will have to show a
burst of speed over their form in the
Idaho games last week.
The second team took the place of
the Varsity last night and played the
return game with the Harrisburg
“Colts,” and from reports brought
back by numbers of the scrubs, en
countered lots of small town stuff in
the form of an irate crowd and a
quick getaway to the railroad station,
the scrubs won 31 to 23, twenty points
going to “Butch” Moore, who was the
star of the evening.
As a preliminary to the game Mon
day night, the Longs captained by Bob
Kellogg, and the Shorts under the
leadership of Woo Sun, will battle for
supremacy. Capt. Sun has a number
of good men on his string, among
them being Buford Jones, Claude
Washburn, “Rough” Ryder, Harry Ly
tle and Knickerbocker Bond, while
Capt. Kellogg is pinning his hopes on
“Socrates” Meyers, Lawrence Whit
man, Hugh Currin, and Fen Waite.
Both sides are confident of victory.

The news comes from Portland that

I

INTEREST TRACK MEN
BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR
COMING MONTHS
CUPS AND MEDALS WILL GO TO VICTORS
Cups and Medals Will Go to Victors—
Prizes Intended to Stimulate Zeal
of Sluggish athletes.
As the track season approaches and
no new recruits for the cinder path
appear, Bill Hayward’s customary
smile is fading and a world-weary
look is taking its place. According
to Mr. Hayward, out of some forty
men, who signed up recently for
track, only ten have reported for
work.
In order to stimulate lagging inter
est, Mr. Hayward is planning a big
inter-class meet, to take place about
the 18th of May. Medals will be given
for first place and in case there are
enough entries, for second and third
also, while the winning class will re
ceive a cup presented by Mr. Hay
ward. The only condition imposed on
contestants is that men who have al
ready won their letters, shall not be
allowed to appear in their varsity
events.
The inter-class indoor meet will
come off on April 3rd and it is ex
pected that considerable track mater
ial will be brought out at this time.
The schedule for the clashes includes
30 yard, 100 yard, and 300 yard runs,
while the longer races will be repre
sented by 1,000 yard and 2,500 yard
distances. Concluding the track
events, an interval of comedy will be
furnished by a sixty yard obstacle
race.
The second part of the meet will
consist of high jump from the spring
board, broad jump, pole vault, shot
put and high diving.
As the final event of the evening, a
wrestling tournament is planned,
which will include 125, 140, 160 and
175 pound classes.
Points will be given for those plac
ing in the various events, and the
class winning the majority of points
will receive the Hayward inter-class
indoor cup.
DEFINITE DATE NOT ARRANGED
FOR SENIOR SMOKER
No definite date has been arranged
for the Senior Smoker by the commit
tee having the affair in charge.
Although the exact night has not
been set, it is the intention to stage
the get-together banquet at the Os
burn within a fortnight at least, ac
cording to Ben Chandler, who is at the
head of the committee on arrange
ments. Speeches and plenty of good
feeding will be mixed with all the
epicurean delicacies of the season.
The feature of the evening promises
to be a class history, given by some
member of the class, which will serve
to keep the record of ’12 fresh in its
member’s minds.
