We-- expect large crowds whenever the club appears and while the large number will detract from the main concert to a certain extent I figure that the advertising which will be done for the University will more than repay a loss in the sale of seats at the theatre.

VARSITY TO PLAY BAKER TRI-STATE LEAGUE TEAM TO APPEAB ON CAMPUS WEDNESDAY THE SEATTLE TRIP APRIL 17 Manager Walker Is Scheduling Games With Centralia and Chehalis. May Invade Other Washington Towns. (By Willard Shaver.) The cancellation of the games scheduled for this week-end by the Mt. Angel manager left Coach Bez dek’s proteges without outside com petition and a substitution of a same between the regulars and the second team men has given the baseball men the first real workout of the entire week. The games with Mt. Angel were cancelled because of the injury of Mt. Angel’s best pitcher, and as Manager Walker was not notified until Thursday no other games could be arranged at such a late hour. However, Oregon will have enough practice games to put her in mid season form before the conference season opens, April 17. Manager Walker is arranging a game with the Baker team of the Tri-State league, to be played on the local cam|>us on next Wednesday afternoon. The Baker team is now training in Sa lem, and as it returns to eastern Oregon next week-end a mid-week date is the only one that can be ar ranged. Bezdek will take the team to southern Oregon next week-end if games can be scheduled with Grant's Pass and Medford, and the Friday and Saturday before spring vacation will be filled by dates with Dallas and Chemawa. This la the first year that Oregon has had the advantage of so much outside competition, and the results of such a policy as Bezdek has inaugurated are bound to be seen when the conference season opens. As Oregon's first conference game is in Seattle, Manager Walker will endeavor to arrange games with some of the Washington towns before in vading Seattle. Centralia and Che halis have been tentatively chosen, and if a game can be scheduled with some Spokane team Oregon will play Pullman also. It is the opinion of those who are competent to judge that Coach Bez dek has the best material this season that Oregon coaches have ever had. The infield is practically airtight and the outfield is working exceptionally well. In fact, there 1b not a weak spot in the entire lineup.

HODGE MARES 20 LECTURES SPEAKS ON GAME PROTEC TION, ALCOHOL AND ELIM INATION OF FLY HE IS INTERESTED IN BIRDS Extension Professor Advocates Elementary Biology. Would Preserve Game Birds Until There Are Enough for All. ! Dr. C. F. Hodge, biologist and in structor in the Extension Depart ment, has just returned from a lec turing tour in the Northeastern part of Oregon, which started at Pendle ton, March '9, and closed at Heppner, March 27. His main subjects were the protection of the game, alcohol and the elimination of flies. During his visits at the twenty various towns he spoke to the high schools, grade schools, civil leagues and teachers’ association. “One thing that I am particularly interested in,” said Dr. Hodge, this morning, “is the protection of our birds. 1 am takin'g particular ef forts to impress upon the school children the necessity of taking care of our birds instead of killing them off by the hundreds. 1 have en deavored. and with considerable suc cess, upon my trip to interest the children in biology and gardening. It is my purpose to try and introduce elementary biology into the grade schools. I have gotten several boys and girls to build bird houses by their windows or upon barns so that they can observe their actions and mode of living. Then let them write compositions concerning the habits df the birds. When we get the chil dren and birds together there will be no need for us to worry about the killing of our game. I do not mean to prohibit shooting but first let the state become flooded with pheasants and. quails and then we all can enjoy a shoot without fear of killing too many.” Dr. Hodge said that the people wetre interested in the alcohol prob lem and wished a successful means for handling it. He stated that al cohol had taken on a new era, and that his conclusion why men drink was bo mitigate sorrow and depres sion. “I do not,” he continued, “look down upon a man who drinks but instead pity him. He Interests me for I do not see how a person could stand to get intoxicated time after time. It undoubtedly, in my esti mation, Is the result of the young man today having no place to go. There is no form of amusement for him, he takes no interest in his work and tries to drown his sorrows and lonesomeness by llqutor. One can’t conceive of a healthy young man busy all of the time and immensely interested in his work taking to drink. It Is itp to the people to pro vide physical i amusements for the young men, something that will keep them busy and that will take tht place of liquor.” RATES TO STUDENT AGENTS Michael anil Klee 1’ut Up Guarante* for 125 Easter Passengers.

COUNCIL SAYS STUDENTS SHOULD SUPPORT BAND Committee Appointed to Pro pose Amendment at Next Meeting Steps toward finding out whether or not the band should be Incorpor ated by the Student Body as a regu lar student body activity are being taken by Thomas Boylen and Maurice Hyde, a committee, who were recent ly appointed by the Student Council for that purpose. The matter will be referred to the next regular meeting of the Student Body, and will take the form of submitting an amend ment to the constitution by theae men, providing that the band should be maintained by the students’ treas ury. In addition to this, some form of remuneration for the players will also be included, Buch as an official sweater or making them exempt from | paying any Student Body tax, since their services are continually re quired at all games. Maurice Hyde, who is at the head of the present self-supporting band, hopes that favorable action will be taken by the Student Body In this matter. “There Is no reason why Oregon should not support a band, as similar Institutions do, and In fact,” added Hyde, “some high school bands of the state are backed by the Stu dent Body. No matter what the oc casion is, there is always a demand for some sort of music, and it is ex tremely difficult to Interest anybody unless there is some compensation for their trouble.” JAPS MUST CUT VISIT Four of Keio University Nine Hin dered by Faculty. _i New York.—The proposed Ameri can tour of the Keio University baseball team of Tokio Japan, will 1 ho greatly curtailed as a result of s , faculty ruling announced Friday.

U. ORCHESTRA DRAWS WELL OOMPOSERS REPRESENTED OK PROGRAM ARE Or VARIOUS TYPES MUSICIANS SHOW ABILITY Flexibility and Sympathetic Re. spouse of Orchestra Evidenc es Excellence of Training, Vocalists Aid Mias Forbes. (By Alberta Campbell) The University orchestra gave the second concert of Its two years’ his* tory In Vlllaid Hall Friday nighi be fore a large audience of students and friends of the University. Owing to the untiring seal and de votion of the founder and director, Miss Winifred Forbes, the occasion was one of Immense pr>. fit and pleas ure to Its hearers. The composers represented in the program were of Interesting range and variety, including Jensen, of the German school; Dvorak, of the mod ern Bohemian; Rossini, not quite modern Italian; Greig. the modern Norwegian; Wlenlawski, Russian; Puccini, the delightful modern Ital ian, and Elgar, most famous living English composer. And these num bers were played with a style and consistently excellent tone quality that Is remarkable In an amateur or chestra. Also Miss Forbes has In stilled Into all the work a vigor and decision of rhythm that is most ad mirable, whether It shows more deli cately In the sustained background of the New World Symphony Largo and the opening of the illlam Tell, or in the vigorous broad swseps of the Festival Procession and the Pomp and Circumstance, or yet In the pi quant and vivacious first Norwegian dance, or the humorous and rollick ing movement of the second. Mias Forbes' highly artistic rhythmic sense met every interpretive demand of the program, and the orchestra showed its Intelligent and painstak ing training In the flexible and sym pathetic way in which It responded to her direction. The pianissimo agitato of the Wil liam Tell was charmingly sustained, and of the tame sweet quality as other pianissimo work during the program, making a delightful con trast with climaxes worked up with great power and movement, and still great control. Themes were dearly and definitely handled, and nuances sensitively and beautifully develop ed. The orchestra waa assisted by Mr. Ralph H. Lyman, tenor, and Mr. Al bert Gillette, baritone, and Mrs. May MacDonald Hope. Mr. Gillette held hla audience spell bound, by his wonderfully beautiful and sympathetic voice quality, and his temperamental Interpretations. Mrs. Hope, who appeared this time in the role of accompanist, has been a great treat .and privilege to musle lovers of Eugene, since her arrival tn December. With her highly per fected technique and beautiful tong she awakened undreamed of possibil ities in the old Vlllard piano and wsa a perfect supplement to each num ber. |CONCERT RATE SECURED .
