Sigma Chi. Alpha Tau Omega, and Phi

for Championship.
The football season closed, all in
terest has now turned to basketball.
The Varsity squad, however, will not
commence practice until after Christ
mas to give the inter-fraternity teams
a chance to get into condition.
A great pre-season interest has
been shown in these inter-fraternity
series this year and promises are for
a large attendance when Referee
Shockley calls the first game Friday
afternoon between the Sigma Nu fra
ternity and the Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity.

inter-fiaternity championship. Should
they win again, the trophy will be
come a permanent fixture of their
mantel. This season their team will
be playing without Roberts, Cobb and
McAllen, the first being chosen as all
fraternity forward last year. Still
and Boylen are the old men on the
team.
There are several fraternities who
are of the belief that the trophy should
be passed on from year to year.
Among these who appear to be the
most capable of bringing about the
desired succession and wresting the
honors from the Kappa Sigma fra
ternity are Sigma Chi, Alpha Tau
Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma
Nu fraternities.
Ihe Sigma Chi fraternity qualified
for the semi-finals last year and they
should make a bid for the first honors
again this year with such stars as
Briedwell, Vosper and Watson in their
midst.
The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity is
weakened by the absence of Viereck,
Huggins, and McDaniels, but with the
two Motschenbachers in the game and
a number of Freshmen with prep
school records to draw from, they
should be able to give a good account
of themselves.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity is
minus their star forward Tom Word.
However, with Gould. Fisher, and
Geoige, as a nucleus, they should be
able to develop a fast team.
The Sigma Nu team has been prac

PACIFIC TOUR PUT OFF
Inability to Secure Well Rounded
Tc m Reason (liven by Spaulding
for Postponement.
The tour of Australia and New Zea
land by the team representing the
Spaulding Athletic Company of New
York, which included Hawkins and
McClure, two Oregon men, has been
postponed until June.
The American athletes were to sail
in the middle of December, but be
cause of the impossibility of taking an
evenly balanced team the trip was de
layed. Chief difficulties lay with the
inability to find a hurdler who could
defeat the Australian stars. Hawkins
was slated to run these events for
the Americans, but his studies at the
Law School in Portland would not
permit his leaving.
Twenty-three special trains carried
18.000 spectators from New York to
Princeton for the recent Yale-Prince

PORTLAND THEATRES
TURN DOWN GLEE CLUB
Dates All Full. Says Manager Geary
—Lincoln High Auditorium Is
Considered.
Graduate Manager Arthur Geary
has encountered considerable difficulty
in arranging a date for the Univer
sity Glee Club in Portland. He is
unable to engage a date at the Heilig;
the management kept postponing an
agreement and finally told him that
ail dates available tor tne club were
filled. The management of the Bun
galow was reticent of allowing the
•lt:b a date on account of such ar
rangement breaking into their regular!
performance; and when the Orpheum
took over the Bungalow Theatre, after
the collapse of the Marquam build
ing, all prospects of an appearance
there faded.
Manager Geary said: “The place
of the performance now lies between
the Star Theatre and the Lincoln High
School Auditorium. The students here
from Lincoln High are good, loyal
boosters, who will be home during the
holidays. I think we could get a good
crowd. By reducing the prices to
seventy-five and fifty cents, the pro
ceeds would probably be as good as at
any of the theatres. The auditorium
of Lincoln has a capacity of two
’hou^and or more.”

It LEHR, RUSSIAN
PURIST BILLED FOR
CONCERT IN VILLARO
MU PHI EPSILON INTRODUCES
NOTED PERFORMER FREE TO
COLLECE FOLK
PRESS AGENTS ENTHUSE OVER FOREIGNER
Unusual Opportunity to Hear Pianist
of International Reputation
Tomorrow.
Miss Tina Lerner, Russian pianist,
appears in concert at Villard Hall
Wednesday evening, at 8:15„ The
Portland Musical Association has
made this concert a present to Mu Phi
Epsilon, and the sorority is making
it a complimentary concert to all the
students of the University and the
town people. The patronesses will be
Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Mrs. A. C. Dixon,
Mis. M. H. Douglass, and Miss G. W.
Lewis.
Through the University School of
Music, the students in Eugene have,
more or less frequently, had the op
portunity to hear musicians of na
tional reputation. But to be able to
hear Miss Lerner, without cost, is, in
deed, unusual. The press agents speak
well of this pianist, saying:
“Judging from the impression
which Miss Tina Lerner made where
ever she has appeared in this country,
there seems to be no question as to
the complete agreement with the ver
dict which Europe passed on the
merits of the young pianist. The
brilliant young musician has shown
herself quite the equal of any woman
artist before the public. Considera
tions of youth, sex and environment
aside, Miss Lerner’s record has shown
that she is amply able to hold her
own in competition with the giants of
the keyboard.’’
“It did not take long,” said the
Baltimore Sun, “for Miss Lerner to
make a striking impression by her in
nate grace, refinement and unaffected
simplicity of manner. She is an ar
tist in every sense of the word—full
of temperament, deeply imbued with
the keen sense of music so character
istically a feature of the people of
her Russian father land.”
FOOTBALL SEASON A
FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Geary Reports, Halance of to he
Turned Into Student Body
Treasury.
Although a final report has not yet
been made out, Graduate Manager
Arthur Geary reports a comfortable
balance to be turned over to the Stu
dent Body fund, as a result of the
football season just ended.
'ihe game with Oregon Agricultural
College netted $1,631 to the football
fund of the University; the game with
Multnomah Club brought in a balance
of $1,556.40; and Manager Geary
cleared $600 for the fund on the Uni
versity of Washington game. "This
will clear up all debts,” said Manager
Geary, “and will leave a balance of
approximately three hundred dollars.
As the bills are not all in yet, I can
not tell definitely, but that is my esti
mate.”

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
GLEE CLUB WORK
DIRECTOR BOWMAN HAS LED
STALE CAREER FOR MORE
THAN TEN YEARS
SANG IN GRAND OPERA FOUR YEARS
Club Will Be in Best of Form
on Appearance Here,
December 19.
For the first time in the sixteen
years that University of Oregon Glee
Clubs have toured the state, a direc
tor with grand opera experience is in
charge. M. L. Bowman, who has been
dividing his time between Portland
and Eugene while training the Glee
Club this fall, was, for a number of
years, the leading bass of the Henry
W. Savage Opera Co. A young man
in appearance, he has seen eight and
a half years of stage life.
“The boys are doing fine,” says Mr.
Bowman, “and will have their pro
gram in tip top shape December Iff,
when they make their bow to the Eu
gene audience. The boys are hard
workers, and when one or two recruits
from the football team have learned
the music, we will have a well bal
anced club. This is my first exper
ience in training an amateur club. All
my work here-to-fore has been with
professionals.”
Mr. Bowman’s stage experience has
led him into every important town
in the United States. He began his
professional career as an actor nearly
ten years ago, and led in supporting
the castes of such famous artists as
Blanch Walsh in “Salambo,” Viola
Allen in the “Eternal City,” and Ed
.vard Morgan in the “Gentleman
from Indiana.” In the spring of 190H
he appeared as soloist at the Scottish
Gaelic Concert in New York City.
Henry Savage Immediately tendered
him an engagement with the Grand
Opera Company. In four years fol
lowing he sang in Tannhauser, Lohen
grin, Walkyrie, Faust, Aida, an Kigo
lette.
Mr. Bowman will sing as one of the
numbers on the program of the Glee
Club concert this year,

Council, and a selection made between
tho two options offered by the club.
One option is for allowance of 25 per
cent of the gate receipts to Multno

mum of $1,000; and the other will al
low the same per cent to Multnomah
Club for the field, with the stipula

probably fuvor the first arrangement.

OBESOVS BABY TACKLE LISTED
AS EASILY BEST IN
CONFERENCE
COOK AND CORNELL SECOND CHOICE
1!U2 Dope Can Badly Dented—Race
for Captaincy Between Bradshaw
and Kenton.
The placing of two men on Var
nell’s official all-North west team, the
tying with Washington State College
for third place in the conference, and
u fiscal balance of between two and
three hundred dollars are the results
of Oregon’s 1912 football season just
closed.
Johnny Parsons and Ed. Bailey
were giver, half back and tackle posi
tions on the Spaulding team because
the former "put up the most brilliant
offensive game yet seen in the North
west, not excepting Borleske’s great
■ami k of years ago, “and the later, for
the reason that "with two hundred
and twenty-five pounds of solid bone
and muscle, unusual speed, and abil
ity to think quickly, made him the
best tackle in the conference.” Both
the Oregonian and the Journal gave
Kenton a guard position, as he “was
far and away the best forward passer
in the conference and a great punter.”
Cook is heralded as a second to Niles
of Whitman in fullback position, be
cause of his bulk and speed as a line
plunger. Right behind Quarterback
't oung of Washington is Anson Cor
nell, for "he excells any runner we
have had in the Northwest recently.”
'three men will be lost by graduation,
Kariss from guard, Bailey from
tackle, and Captain Walker from the
backfield, but several good men have
already spoken for their places.
Dope Can Marred.
Kor years the Northwest “dope can”
has not been so battered as it has
this year. Idaho walloped W. S. C.
!W. S. C. defeated Oregon 7-0,
yet Oregon won from Idaho 3-0.
Again, Whitman smothered Oregon
2-0, the Oregon Aggies beat Whitman
20-3, but Oregon turned the tables on
O. A. (’. by a score of 3-0. The Whit
man-Idaho game, won by the later
13-0, was the last dent in the
"can.” Through all the season,
Washington calmly pursued it’s even
tenor and brought home the fifth con
secutive championship.
Hall and Caufield Leave Race.
Kor the captaincy of the 1913 team
four men are eligible, but Caufield
and Hall leave the race to Kenton and
Bradshaw, believing them better fitted
for the position. The election will
take place sometime in the near fu
ture.
