PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1913. Vol. XIV; No. 69 IMOHLTH DM SET FOR MV FBI WILL ALSO HOLD CONFERENCE TO PLAN FOR EXTENSION WORK IN MUNICIPAL RESEARCH Gin DELEGATES TO GOME University Will Gather Statistics to Present in Study of Civic Efficiency. Professor F. G. Young returned yesterday from Portland, where he conferred Saturday with William H. Allen, the famous municipal expert of New York, concerning the addition of a trained man in civic research and ef ficiency to the University Extension lecture force. Mr. Allen, with the aid of two expert assistants from New York City, will conduct a thor ough and systematic investigation of the municipal affairs of Portland, that they might intelligently classify them under the commission plan of government which it is expected will be adopted by Portland at the election on May S. On May 1, the University will hold a Commonwealth Conference in con junction with Commonwealth Day, to adopt further plans for the continu ance and growth of the Extension courses. Representatives from dif ferent municipalities of Oregon will be invited to the Conference, where an attempt will be made to demon strate to them scientific methods for city government and for the conduct of all the city’s affairs. The two ex perts who will conduct the research in Portland, will be present at the Con ference. Mr. Allen will probably be present himself. Working with these men, the University hopes to adopt soon a plan for instruction in these lines throughout the state. In the meantime the University will conduct an investigation into the affairs of Eugene and several neigh boring cities, and the statistics gath ered will be used at the Conference. With the help of the High School in structors and students, the depart ment of economics will gather statis tics on the conduct of the city’s schools, health, public utilities, finances, parks, etc.; and will make charts of the findings. These will be used as an aid in the study of better methods for municipal efficiency. The annual Marathon race between the classes of Stanford University will be held on March 28. There will be twenty-four men representing each class in this event and each runner will cover a mile of the distance. Medals will be given for the fastest quarter miler and the one making the fastest quarter-mile. MEN AT CO ED TRACK MEET WOULD DETRACT FROM DIGNITY Proposition to Permit Men Witness Athletic Event Not to Be Consid ered, Says Miss Thompson. The old question of whether the men should be admitted to the Wo men’s Indoor Track Meet has again arisen since the date for the meet has been announced. It is not to be con sidered at all,” said Miss Thompson, when she was consulted. “The meet is a new thing and the girls are not as proficient as the men. They would be judged as the men and the result would be very disappointing. Our purpose is not like that of the men; our aim in the meet is exercise, com bined with competition and pleasure. To allow men to witness the women’s track meet would detract from the dignity of the meet, and most decid edly is not to be considered this year.” Dr. Stuart’s opinion coincides with that of Miss Thompson, except that it is even stronger against the idea. UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA SCORES BIS SUCCESS SIX HUNDRED EUGENE MUSIC LOVERS HEAR RECITAL Florence Cleveland, Albert Gillette, and Charles South, Are Individual Stars. The culmination of the University’s musical season was attained last evening in Villard Hall, when the University orchestra appeared in con cert, before six hundred devotees of the art. The concert was highly suc cessful, every number being played with a perfection of tone and tech nique that gave to the organization a prestige that shall long endure. The Orchestra was assisted by Miss Florence Cleveland, Soprano; Mr. Al bert Gillette, Baritone; and Mr. Chas. South, Violinist. The singers were accompanied by Miss Nell Murphy, and Mr. South by Mr. David Campbell —both of whom are instructors in the University School of Music. Under the direction of Miss Wini fred Forbes, the full orchestra played composition of three masters—Beeth oven’s “Menuetto,” Frimi’s “Chanson sans Paroles,” and “La Danse des Demoiselles,” and several selections from Humperdinck’s opera “Hansel and Grethel.” The stringed orchestra rendered St. George’s celebrated Suite “l’Ancien Regime” and Beeth oven’s “Largetto from Ninth Sym phony.” While all the offerings car ried an irresistable appeal to the aud ience, both scholar and neophyte, the greatest impression, apparently, was made by the interpretation of “Hansel and Grethel.” (Continued on last page.)

C. “Tennis will be placed on a firmer footing this year, and with the early season interest displayed by the men, everything indicates that Oregon will have an unusually large squad of cap able players, from which to pick a strong team,” said Captain Irwin Brooks after the tennis meeting held in the gymnasium yesterday after noon.

Last year the varsity de feated the club players in five straight' matches on the local court, but lost i.o them at Portland. While no definite action has been ;aken, there is a possibility of meet ing 0. A. C. and Willamette Univer sity in this line of sport if the schools can come to terms.

GIRLS’ CLEE REPORT SHOWS SMS SIUINCE Initial Concert Managed by Catharine Carson is Financial Success. Controlled and managed wholly by Co-eds, the initial concert of the Wo men’s Choral Club, held last Friday, was a financial success.

THREE HATS AND A DERBY ARE LOST BY ORATORICAL DELEGATES Freshman Gets Fussed and Leaves Coat on Train—Heider Must Have His Hat. Four hats—one derby and three other {rood lids, and a $20 overcoat be longing to a Freshman, was the loss sustained by several members of the Oratorical delegation from the Uni versity at Newberg last Friday even ing. The overcoat was left on the train that carried the delegation to the Quaker city, but a different tale is told by those who were forced to go home bareheaded. The loss occurred while the delega tion was listening to the oratorical ef forts in the auditorium above and was taken good naturedly by the vic timized quartette. Otto Heider, the previously proud owner of the $? “Stetson,” insisted upon remaining in the city until his headgear was re turned. He also invested, before re turning to Eugene. Efforts are now being made in that city to apprehend the purloiners. 60 DELEGATES WILL ATTEND CONFERENCE ANNUAL MEETING OF Y. W. C. A.

TRUCK COUCH RETURNS FROM LECTURE FOUR “BILL” HAYWARD WITH OLYMPIC PICTURES MAKES ROUND OF EASTERN OREGON SCHOOLS BI6 HOUSES GREET TRAINER Southern Oregon and Astoria Trip Also Contemplated in Near Future. “Bill” Hayward returned this morn ing from his Eastern Oregon lecture tour, during which he talked to the High School athletes of Hood River, The Dalles, Pendleton, Athena, and Baker. He spoke in Salem last night. Mr. Hayward received an enthusiastic welcome all along the route, not only the athletes, but their parents and friends turning out to hear the vet eran trainer, whose lectures were il lustrated by stereopticon views of scenes at the 1912 Olympic games at Stockholm and of the annual inter scholastic and inter-collegite meets held at the University. Pictures show ing the right and wrong methods used by track men in the different events were thrown upon the screen and ex plained. All the slides used on the trip were views which Hayward has ! taken himself. The necessity for clean living, observance of hygienic laws and the importance of letting tobacco alone were emphasized to the young track aspirants in all the talks. Wherever it was possible, Bill spent I the afternoon watching the “prep” athletes work out, and gave the boys pointers on training. On the trip, whenever pictures of local stars and former varsity men were shown, they \vere greeted by en thusiastic applause, showing that the audience was decidedly in sympathy with the University of Oregon. In re- * sponse to requests from the schools visited, “Bill” will try to make an other trip during Spring vacation for the purpose of seeing their track men in action and giving them advice. The itinerary of the Eastern Ore gon trip was: Hood River, March 10; The Dalles, March 11; Pendleton, March 12; Athena, March 13; Baker, March 14; and Salem, March 17. As soon as spring track training is well started here, Hayward intends to go on another lecture tour,—this time into Southern Oregon. The cities to be visited are Cottage Grove, Rose burg, Medford, and Ashland. He is also planning a trip to Astoria with his stereopticon lecture. Pacific University defeated the Portland Y. M. C. A. by a score of 41 to 36 in a dual indoor track meet. 'Phis is their second victory over the Y. M. C. A. Northwestern University adminis tered a decisive defeat to Wisconsin in a dual aquatic meet by a score of 36 to 22. STORY IS SURPRISE TO ME, SAYS HIM), MT RUMOR THAT WASHINGTON SEEKS HIM “I know absolutely nothing of it,” said Bill Hayward this morning, when *hown a press clipping from a Port and paper, wherein it is stated that Hayward will in all possibility be of fered the position of track coach at die University of Washington. "I have not had a bit of communi •ation with them, and I guess that it s only another of those rumors that ippear in the Springtime.” When asked concerning the report hat he would be the most acceptable man to aid Gilmore Dobie, the football coach, Bill smiled, but his only reply was, “When you are in Rome, you must be a Roman.” However, Hayward did not doubt that there would be the need of a track coach at that institution, for Dr. Hall,, the present coach, is over worked, he said. Besides being the resident physician, Hall makes fre quent trips about the state giving lec tures, and has his coaching work be sides.
