UNIVERSITY JANITOR SHOULD BE
HIRED BY LONDON POLICE FORCE
j One Man Successful in Locking
Whole Woman Suffrage
Club.
Co-ed political meetings proved toe
much for the janitor of the Library
building, Thursday evening, who, tir
ing of listening to their harranging
from the outside, locked up the build
| ing, turned out the lights and left
i The women, their meeting broken up
by the darkness, crawled out through
a window, tumbled over a wire fence
and dispersed.
The meeting was long. Josepl:
Schafer, professor in history, spoke or
municipal government. The women
listened with eagerness.
But not so with the janitor. He
paced the hall. He murmured words
of impatience. He glanced at his
watch. It was too much. Carefully
fastening all windows, he closed and
locked the doors from the outside,
pocketed the keys, and left. The
lights were also turned out.
The girls sat patiently, waiting for
the “juice” to return. It came not.
They became nervous. Suddenly, with
almost panic, they realized themselves
prisoners. Not a door could they open.
Tt was the Dean of Women, Miss Ruth
Guppy, who discovered a window not
far from the ground.

SUCCESS IN FIRST APPEARANCE
CONCERT GIVEN FRIDAY EVENING IN LOCAL THEATRE IS PRO
NOUNCED HIT OF SEASON AND PUTS WOMEN’S GLEE
ON LIST OF STUDENT
ACTIV ITIES
(By Alfred Davies.)
Friday, March 14, marks the cul
minating- step into established exist
ence of a new Student Body activity,
for the initial concert of the Women’s
1 Choral Club proved eminently suc
cessful. From the first clear notes of
the opening selection to the last ring
j ing bars of the operatic finale the pro
| gram was marked by enthusiastic and
I spontaneous applause, every number
meeting hearty approval, with gener
j ous encores.
The production was notable for sev
; eral features which established an
entirely new standard for University
activities among the women. The af
fair was not simply a concert; the of
! ferings varied from formal ensembles
j to the veriest vaudeville. The man
agement was entirely in the hands of
a woman, and the executive staff was
i composed entirely of students.
Club Selections Well Received.
The program opened with two
choral selections by the Club—Chad
wick’s “The Spring Beauties,” and
“An Irish Folk Song,”—both of which,
light, melodious compositions, were
I excellently rendered and drew hearty
| salves of applause.
Miss Florence Avery’s rendition of
two soprano solos, “At Parting,” and
“An Open Secret,” displayed her per
I feet control and charming voice in a
high degree. She responded to en
cores with a humoresque, “Three Lit
tle Chestnuts.”
The “Mammy and Pickaninny”
stunt of the Misses Gladys and Con
stance Cartwright was a decisive hit.
Their clever dialogue of local color
was interlarded with darky buck-and
wing dancing and two songs, “Way
Down South,” and “We’ll Dance All
Over That Town.”
Miss Florence Cleveland was ac
corded a flattering reception, both for
her solo, “Nymphs and Fauns,” and
for her obligato part in the adaptation
of “Winken, Blinken and Nod.”
Fantasia Was a Novelty.
Much amusement was provided by
| Misses Leola Ball and Catherine Car
son in their entrancing Fantasia in
Chinese costume. The act bore a
refreshing air of novelty and abandon.
The Clubs ensemble numbers in
cluded a “Fairy Lullaby” by Mrs. A.
A. Beach, the Southern classic, “Din
ah,” and Wilson’s vocal waltz “Car
mena”—the latter a swinging melody,
perfectly rendered, that drew perhaps

FOOTBALL COACH IS
SELECTED FOR 1913
Committe Picks Coach in Secret
Meeting, but Refuses to Divulge
Name.
The University of Oregon Athletic
Council coach committee meeting sec
retly yesterday afternoon, virtually
selected a football coach for the com
ing season, but refuses to make its
selection public until ratified by the
Athletic Council at a meeting to be
held early next week. The Athletic
Council Committee has worked for
several months, maintaining a close
secrecy over its actions. It has had
applications from coaches from all
parts of the country.
“The committee has narrowed the
selection down to one or two men,”
declared President Campbell yester
day afternoon, “but I do not think
that the actual decision will be made
until next week when the Athletic
Council meets.”
Among the candidates under consid
eration are Virgil Earl, of Portland,
Frank Vandoren, of the University of
Pennsylvania, Leonard Frank, of the
University of Kansas, and among
others another Oregon man whom the
committee refuses to name for publi
cation.
A change in the economics faculty
of Wisconsin has been made by sub- '
stituting Professor Ludwig Senzhei
mer, the noted economist of the Uni-!
versity of Munich, for Professor Rich
ard T. Ely, who will deliver a series
of lectures in London. Professor
Senzheimer has done much research
work on the development of the tech

Two Contests Earn $101.70 Above Ex

by Referee Difficulty.
A net balance of $101.70 was earned
by the four O. A. C. vs. Oregon bas
ketball games, which has been turned
in to the Student Body treasury by
Manager Arthur M. Geary. Tv'o of
the big ite:".s of expense were for the
referees, both of whom came from
Portland.
In spite of these items these games
were the most profitable of the sea
son. The money was earned from the
two games in Eugene. The arrange
ment was that each college pay all
of its own expenses and take the gate
receipts at home. Geary’s report is

Brilliant Array of Inter-Frat Baseball

The cause of the kalaidescopic ar

of the opening of the doughnut
league to occur next Saturday with a
game between Alpha Tau Omega and

Many former High School stars, and
others that even the “prep” schools
failed to find, were out in flannels of
brilliant hue, limbering up their arms,
and their baseball “lingo,” each seek
ng a focus on the spheroid and hoping
to lose it in the mill race, or by some
hook or crook reach first base.
Judging' from the class shown, and
from the many different, colors in

brilliant affairs.

DOW, SAYS AYER
COOP MATERIAL IN EVIDENCE
BUT PRACTICE NEEDED
Four Places on Team Open and Race
Between Pitchers and Catchers
to be of Interest
With the squad cut down to two
bare teams, baseball practice of the
most serious sort begins Monday, and
with it some real races between some
of the best material Oregon has had
to work with, for two or three places.
There are but four places on the team
open, perhaps five. These are pitch
er, catcher, first base, second base,
and possibly right field. The others
are virtually filled: Chandler, in left
field, Mount at center, Anunsen at
third, Cornell, the first Freshman to
have a near cinch on his place, at
short stop.
If Fenton comes in from right field
to first, it will shift the scene of
struggle to the outfield. But for the
two infield places there are four good
men fighting. These are Billings,
Bigbee, Wilhelm, and Kirk. The
place, with Fenton in the outfield, vir
tually lies between them.
The catcher’s race has been nar
rowed down to Motschenbacher, Reed,
and Miller. Between these men and
between the pitchers lies an interest
ing fight. This is especially true be
