BASEBALL TEAM
PROFESSOR ACCEPTS OFFER OF
ATHLETIC COUNCIL TO
GUIDE BALL
PLAYERS
GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER TEAM
Council Also Authorized Geary to
Send Out Invitations to Track
Meet.
Fred C. Ayer, head of the depart
ment of Education, this morning: ac
cepted the offer of the Athletic Coun
cil and has become the Oregon base
ball coach. He accepts the position
in modified form, however, feeling
that his time is too limited to accept
the full duties of coachship. He will
work with the team each afternoon
as “advisor,” will not undertake to
follow the men upon the trips, but
will have authority to select the
teams. Professor Ayer was not a
candidate, arid accepted the position
only after much urging on the part
of the committee.
Four Men Considered.
At a special called meeting of the
Athletic Council held yesterday after
noon, it was decided that Oregon shall
have a baseball coach, and four men
were named from whom the selection
will be made. Three were applicants;
the fourth thei man most desired.
This was F. C. Ayer, who has figured
in the middle west professional base
ball, but who, yesterday, in a letter
to the press, denied that he was a
candidate for the place.
The other three men considered
were Curtis Coleman, a former Ore
gon player, now living in Salem;
Homer Jamison, of Portland, first
baseman for four years on the Ore
gon team, being graduated last year;
and “Tom” Kelly, “father of base
ball.” at Oregon, who coached Oregon
for several years until two years ago.
He is now in San Francisco.
Committee Employs Ayer.
The committee appointed to make
actual selection was empowered to
employ Professor Ayer. The commit
tee consists of Ben. Chandler, captain
of the team, who coached Oregon last |
year; Dr. Heman Burr Leonard, and
Arthur Geary, graduate manager.
The Athletic Council yesterday
authorized the student manager to
send out invitations, and arrange 'de
tails for the third annual LTniversity
of Oregon inter-scholastic track meet
to be held in Eugene on May 9. The
meet will also include an aquatic
tournament, a feature introduced last
year. Two hundred athletes will be
entertained in Eugene at this time. '
STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TURNS
DOWN BOOSTER DANCE FOR APRIL 4
Alleged That Student Informals Are
Better Than Public Dances
at $1.50 Per.
Make no dates for the proposed
Inter-scholastic Track Meet Booster
Dance, scheduled by the Executive
Committee for April 4, for the affair
has taken its place among the might
have-beens as the result of the action
taken by the Student Affairs Commit
tee yesterday afternoon.
This dance, for which an admission
of $1.50 was to have been charged,
to go toward paying the expenses of
the Inter-scholastic Track Meet, was
frowned upon by the committee,
largely because it would have taken
the place of a Student Body informal.
“The Student Body dances are deemed
more desirable by the committee be
cause they foster a healthy democratic
spirit among the students and carry
with them none of the dangers of a
public student dance, where it is not
possible to regulate the attendance,”
said a member of the committee to
day.
GAMES IRE WELLED
AS OFFICIALS WRANGLE
REFEREE TANGLE YESTEDAY
NEARLY PREVENTS SERIES
Hayward Sends Ultimatum—C. S.
Mackav. of Portland, Officiates To
night—Bohler at Corvallis.
For two hours yesterday therre was
to be no 0. A. C.-Oregon basketball
games this season. The deadlock over
the referee situation became so tense
that the whole series was declared off
just as the O. A. C. team was about to
leave for Eugene. The order for a
rooter’s excursion from Corvallis was
cancelled, and a serious breach was
threatened until Oregon made conces
sions that satisfied the Corvallis ath
letic director.
Long distance wires became active;
perhaps hot. At this end of the line
in Manager Geary’s office were Hay
ward, the captain of the team, Geary,
and one or two newspapermen. At
the other end in Director Stewart’s
office, was the O. A. C. contingent. It
is said that “smoke” arose at each
end of the line.
Then Hayward sent his ultimatum:
“We’ll play you any way you wish;
bring any official; we’ll play you any
time, or anywhere.”
“Both Hayward and myself consid
ered it better to play the basketball
games,” explained Manager Geary to
day, “even if it were necessary to use
one of the men demanded by Dr.
Stewart, than to have the games can
celled by O. A. C. with the resulting
squabble, and G. A. C. making claims

ACTION OF FRATERNITIES PROVES DEATH
OF ANNUAL Y. W. C. A. COUNTY FAIR
As a result of the boycotting ac
tion of the men the day before, when
the meeting of the representatives
from the varous fraternities and clubs
at the Sigma Chi house sang the Y.
W. C. A. County Fair swan song, the
annual Bungalow boosting affair was
abolished yesterday afternoon by the
Y. W. C. A.
Originated three years ago, inf order
to raise money to pay the heavy debt
hanging over the Women’s Associa
tion, the County Fair became an out
let for the hibernating mirth and wit
of the black face artists of the Uni- ;
versify, during its three years exist- ■
ence. The proceeds of the last two !
years have been applied upon the pro- !
posed Bungalow for the women, and
have amounted to approximately
$250.
The money raised by this attrac- !
tion has been put out on county bonds,
which together with the interest, will
fall due shortly.
That the action taken Tuesday was
the cause of the death of the fair was
admitted this afternoon by Eva Brock,
chairman of the Y. W. C. A. social
committee. As the Y. M. C. A. also
had taken action similar to that of the (
fraternities, the women wrere not will
ing to assume all the work of putting
on the necessary stunts in order to in
sure its success.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment that the County Fair was a j
thing of the past, comes a tentative
10. JL C. QUINTET TAKES FIRST
OF SERIES FROM VARSITY FIVE
STEWARTS FIVE SPRINGS A SURPRISE AND TAKES INITIAL
GAME BY SCORE OF 20 TO 9—NUMEROUS FOULS
AND RAGGED PLAYING MAKES POOR
GAME
Contrary to “dope,*' the 0. A. C.
basketball team defeated the Varsity
five, 20 to 9, last night, in a game
characteristic of fouls and rough
playing. Both teams played raggedly
and at no time showed the class of
basketball that has been exhibited in
the previous games of the year.
Oregon lacked the fight displayed
in the W. S. C. games and played
more on the defensive during the first
half. The work livened pp in the sec
ond period and at times the teams
showed flashes of clever work. The
basket shooting of both teams was
poor; O. A. C. scoring five field goals
and Oregon but two.
Cooper, the speedy 0. A. C. guard,
was the star, making all but six of
the 20 points scored by O. A. C., and
his work of throwing fouls was the
feature of the game. Out of thirteen
attempts, Cooper scored 10 baskets.
Oregon’s Shooting 1’oor.
None ef the Oregon players seemed
able to connect with the basket and
there were no particular stars, al
though the dribbling of Rice was in a
i class by itself.
j Some complaint was in evidence
I over the refereeing, due to the fact
that so many fouls were called. There
Was, however, no apparent partial
ity.
Although the close decisions made
j more or less bitterness among the
players in a difficult game, the spirit
shown by the rooters from each col
lege was splendid. Each college re
turned the yell of the other before
the opening of the game, and between
halves Yell Leader Dunton and Rlack
man, representing their respective
bands of rooters, grasped each others
hands, and held a short conference in
the center of the floor, typifying the
friendly relations which now exist.
Mackay to Referee O. A. C.
Tonight’s game will be refereed by
C. S. Mackay, of Portland. For the
remaining two games in Corvallis,
Coach Bohler. of Washington State
College, will referee. Arrangements
were made over the wire today, and
he leaves Pullman tonight.
There were several mix-ups among
the players during the second half,
but on the whole the feeling was
friendly between the two teams. A
crowd of about twenty-five O. A. C.
“rooters” were present at last night’s
game.
The summary of last night’s game
follows:

FOUR CO EDS QUALIFY
FOR FINALS IN DEBATE
| Last Try-out to Select Team to
Debate U. of W. to be Held
Saturday.
Four University women will enter
the final Co-ed debate try-outs to be
held in Villard Hall, Saturday morn
ing at 9 o’clock, for the team to rep
resent the University women against
the University of Washington. They
are Aldais Oberholtzer, Cecil Sawyer,
May Smith, and Beatrice Littlefield.
The judges will be Miss Mary Per
kins, Miss Julia Burgess, and Profes
sor James H. Gilbert. The subject
for the try-out will be the same as
that for the debate itself, “Resolved,
That all unskilled laborers of the new
immigration, as classified by the im
migration commission, should be ex
cluded from the United States.’’ fn
the debate, which occurs early in
April, Oregon will uphold the neg
ative of the question.
This is the second and final try-out.
The speeches will be twelve minutes
in length, with five minutes for re
buttal.
The effort to abolish the military
drill for Freshmen and Sophomores at
the University of Washington, has
failed. The legislature refused to
sanction the change.
Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian who vas
recently proven to be a professional,
made his debut in professional circles
by breaking three indoor records. He
barely missed equalling the world’s
announcement this morning by the of
ficers of the Y. W. C. A. that another
plan is being considered, whereby the
necessary funds can be raised for the
continuance of the Association’s work
this year, and also to aid the Bunga
low Fund. An early date in April is
being considered
SENIORS MAY REPEAT
LOTTERY DANCE SOON
First Exclusive Class Dance of Year
Meets Approval of the
Participants.
The class of 1913 will long recall
| the memory of their Lottery dance of
i March 4. From the entrance of the
i “pall-bear6rs” with the “caskets” of
j efreshments to the last strains of the
final waltz, the fifty couples forgot
| formalities and enjoyed themselves.
| Good old fashioned waltzes and two
i steps, interspersed with Germanias,
Paul Jones and tax-waltzes, were in
j order.
At the end of the.sixth dance Presi
dent Campbell commended the Sen
iors for their enterprise in introduc
ing such a pleasureable feature by
which all members of the outgoing
class could become acquainted with
one another, and not only praised j
them on the success of their first af- j
fair, but urged to hold more meetings
with the same view in end and offered
to co-operate with the class at any
time. While the photographer was
preparing to take flash light pictures,
the Seniors of the Glee Club sang
Oregon songs.
The floor was in the best of con
dition and the punch, which was made
by the girls and is as yet unnamed,
was of that variety of which one
glass called for another.
In addition to the list of patronesses
and patrons mentioned Tuesday, were
Mrs. E. A. Stearns and Professor
F. E. Dunn.
Professor John R. Allen, of the en
gineering department of the Univer-1
sity of Michigan, has been smuggling,
dynamite and gunpowder into Turkey
in order to aid in the construction of
th( engineering building of Roberts
Col ege at Constantinople, in the
building of which serious difficulties
have been encountered.
UNIVERSITY JANITOR ASPIRES TO
BE CITY DAD FROM FOURTH WARD
B. F. Andrews Nol Lacking Ex per
ience as Officeseeker, Huns Again
on Socialist Ticket.
It persistence can win anything. R.
F. Andrews, janitor of the Electrical,
building, may be elected to a city of
fice. At any rate, he keeps on run
ning. ,
This time Andrews is candidate for
city alderman from the Fourth Ward,
on the Socialist ticket, of which he is
a strong supporter. Although not an
cfficeseeker by reputation or profes
sion, Andrews admits having been on
the ballot last fall at the general
election as candidate for County As
sessor, flying under the same colons.
However, the fact remains that An
drews is not relying upon the number
of votes that he polled last time for
his success at the coming city elec
tion, as he was among the “also
rans.”

DUBIOUS; DANCE SET
PLAN TO RUN SPECIAL TRAIN
OIVEN UP
Student Body Dance Will Occur as
First Planned, Hut Many Will do
to Root for Oregon.
Uncertainty on the part of many
who pledged themselves to the excur
sion to Corvallis tomorrow, has made
impossible the special train, and the
$1.65 excursion rate has been with
drawn. As a substitute has been pro
vided a blanket rate of $2.25. Many
of those intending to go will still do
so, and the Oregon team will not be
without rooters at the remaining
games of the series.
However, realizing that many will
remain in Eugene this week-end, the
student affairs committee has ordered
that the Student Body dance, which
gave way to the excursion, be held.
The O. A. C. rooters excursion to
Eugene, expected today, did not oc
cur, because of the diffcultfy over re
ferees yesterday and the temporary
calling off of the games. During the
two hours yesterday morning, when
the deadlock was complete, the 0. A.
C. contingent notified the railroad
company that the excursion had been
called off. Later, when they sought
to re-arrange it, it was too late.
“Because we are unable to get 125
rooters to go to Corvallis Friday, the
regular excursion has been called off,”
said Yell Leader Abe Blackman to
day. “Hence the excursion rate of
$1.65 cannot be secured, but those who
go, may get a blanket ticket at a round
trip rate of $2.25, and leave on the
regular train at 4:43 Friday after
noon.”

held Saturday night, as previously I

ERNMENT FOR
OREGON
JUNIOR COMMITTEES NAMED
Jones, and Dorris Elected Captains of
Junior and Sophomore Baseball
Teams.
Assembly Hour yesterday morning
was given over to class meetings.
The business taken up by the Senior
class in Dr. Schmidt’s room, was
mostly reports and appointment of
committees. President Edward Bai
ley appointed as committee on Caps
and Gowns, Chester Kronen berg,
chairman, Pat Cecil, Marjorie Cowan,
and Lueile Davis. Instruction to the
president to appoint immediately a
committee to investigate student self
government concluded the business of
the meeting. The Senior committee
will determine the desirability of
some form of self-government for
Oregon. The plan was that of Presi
dent Campbell’s.
Juniors Plan Prom.
Del Stannard’s cohorts of the Jun
ior class assembled in Deady Hall,
and engaged mainly in primary ar
rangements for Junior Week-End. As
heads of the various committees, Alva
Grout was appointed chairman for the
committee on decorations; Wallace
Benson, for patronesses; Earl Fqrt
miller, for music; Willard Shaver on
painting the “O”; and Paul Briedwell
as chairman on refreshments. Joe
Jones was placed in charge of the
Junior baseball team for the coming
class series. President Stannard an
nounced a meeting of the Executive
Committee with the chairmen of the
Junior Week-End committees for next
Tuesday evening in Villard Hall. The
chairmen of the Junior committees
will appoint their own associates.
Sophs Elect Baseball Captain.
The Sophomore meeting in McClure
Hall was well attended. After a few
preliminary remarks from President
Hardesty, captain-manager for the
Sophomore baseball team was elected.
From six nominees, Ben Dorris was
given the preference and will guide
the second-year team in the coming
series. A motion to appoint three
more and let them fight it out for
the distinction was not introduced.
James Donald, chairman of the debate
committee, reported that to date the
three members of the committee had
signified their intentions of trying
out for the coming Frexhman-Sopho
more debate. He deplored the fact
that lack of opposition would deter
iorate the quality of the team.
