The letter was in the form of a petition, gotten up by the boys of the school, and was signed by thirty or forty of them. Although Mr. Hayward will not be able to make such a long trip at this time of the track season, it is evident he is getting results. Mr. Hayward has his moving pic ture camera prepared for work this spring and intends to take a number of reels of track meets and baseball games and other spring sports. These films will be used next year in lec tures and will in addition be shown in many of the moving picture thea ters of the state. The first use of the camera will probably be made at the women’s gymnasium exhibition April 9, when some of the drills will be taken by the “movie” operator.

But Kuck’s ability to kill the slow ones and Casebeer’s skill in placing his serve in the back cor ners gave the Oregon Club the long end of the 21, to 11 and 21 to 9 scores. Both Casebeer and Kuck are opti mistic as to the outcome of their match with the Faculty, which will be played soon. “We’ll play them blindfolded,” declared Kuck, when discussing the coming contest. “Yes,” commented CaBebeer, “I don’t think it will be much of an entertainment.” 300 ATHLETES EXPECTED FOR PREP SCHOOL MEET Other Visitors Will Swell Num ber. Walker Working on Plans for Week-End Three hundred preparatory school athletes are expected this year at Junior week-end, to participate in the interscholastic meet held In May, according to graduate manager Walker. This shows considerable In crease over the number present last year when about 250 boys from the secondary schools of the state com peted for interscholastic athletic su premacy. Besides this there will be a large number of boys and girls visiting at the University, so that the number of visitors present will probably ag | gregate close to five hundred. Man ager Walker Is at present working in conjunction with the committee appointed by the Student Council to perfect week-end plans. The program of events which will take place Fri day and Saturday is to be arranged, and accommodations for the visitors provided. 1920 IS SET AS MILLENIUM PROP YOUNG WOULD FIND ANiJ MEND STATE DE FECTS IN SIX YEARS START COMMONWEALTH DAY University Should Be a Council to Aid in State Betterment, Says Young.

G. Young yesterday after noon. “Just as Boston has its 1915 movement, just as Reed College has started a 1916 movement for the city of Portland, so the University will Inaugurate a 1920 movement for the the State of Oregon,” he said. Professor Young, in explanation of the meaning of the slogan, said that the end In view Is to discover the de fects in the state and to find a way to remedy them. It is proposed to accomplish this task by 1920. The program at the commonwealth con ference will be made up of discus sions that have in view the different interests; to bring out clearly what should be done, and how it should be done; and thus hasten the slow ness of development. .mo new idea. "The University for some time bps been considering the adoption of th}s motto for the commonwealth confer ence. My Senior thesis class has for the past year been working on sub jects that center around an “Oregon 1920’’ movement. The general sug gestion has been made that the Uni versity in all of its activities marshal its forces into a well concerted effort to promote an "Oregon 1920” move ment. "The state needs to round out its system of social legislation, public health laws, social center movement; get Its fiscal system so systematized that the people will get better results with a smaller tax; and we need to -harmonize all the voluntary move ments toward the securing of a good roads system and a good educational system. And we need to awaken our sense of beauty In making plans for our communities.” University to Help. Professor Young stated that the University should'be a sort of coun cil, not proposing to usurp leader ship, but simply to be of service to all who are espousing any Interest along these lines, and that the time Is ripe for Oregon to make systematic plans toward securing much higher efficiency. The University should always be ready to lend a helping hand. "The commonwealth conference Is more and more given to the purpose of better organizing such concerted betterment movements. Oregon is still a young and plastic state. It should profit by the mistakes of the other states; it Is In a position to develops rapidly towards a high ideal. The University by these com monwealth conferences Is endeavor ing to get Into a proper relation with the state, so as to re-enforce every aim, effort and ideal to make them effective. The University should be a clearing house,” he said. This afternoon at four o’clock the program committee meets. In order to select specific subjects along the above lines. The speakers to handle these subjects will also be named. Those in charge declare that only the best men In each line will be selected to handle these subjects.

POINTS SHOWN BY LECTURES WET WEATHER DRIVES BALL PLATERS INSIDE GAME TOMORROW UNCERTAIN Manager Walker Has Until To night to Oall off Contest Scheduled With Baker Team for Wednesday Afternoon. . ,r The baseball game which Grad uate Manager Dean Walkter had Scheduled (for tomorrow afternoon with the Baker team will undoubted ly be called off tonight on account of the continued wet weather which has prevailed here. Manager Walker has the privilege of waiting until tonight to cancel the game, but he had practically con cluded to cancel it this afternoon, as the diamond Is completely soaked up and would hardly be In condition to play on tomorrow in case the weather should dear up. These wet days, when it is im possible for the team to take the field, are occupied with lectures in the gymnasium by Coach Bezdek. The first was held last Friday. The finer points of the game were taken up, including the playing of the individual positions, signals, base running and other details that mean much to a team’s playing. Every phase possible of every play possible is being taken up by the coach with the men and their solutions are heard and corrected when wrong. On the defensive every man on the team is supposed to play every ball that is hit as if it comes to him, every time. The coach holds that on every ball that is hit, every man on the team as something to do and it is up to him to do it.

All 8ehools and Meier A Frank Store Visited. Heilig Concert a Success. •Singing before approximately 8,000 people on Monday, the Oregon Qlee Club 1b experiencing a very success* ful trip to Portland, Albany and Cor* vallls. The Club left here Sunday morning, sang in Portland Sunday and Monday, and will sing In Albany today and Corvallis tomorrow. Monday morning the Club sang be fore about 6,000 high school stu dents assembled at the three high schools in the city, Washington, Lin coln and Jefferson. Special exercises were held at the schools, in which the Cllee Club took part. At noon the Club went to Meier and Frank’s large department store ^ and there,-seated at one large table, the twenty-six men sang and ate for two hours in the large lunch room, which is one of the attractions at this store. It is claimed that one of the largest crowds that ever was In* Bide the lunch room was present there Monday. After lunch the Club went to the main floor below and sang again. No sooner had the first song been started than the people came pouring In from all sides until the boys were almost compelled to stop. It is estimated that 1,000 peo ple were present there. In the afternoon the Club visited the Portland Academy and rendered several selections before the assem bled students. Monday night the concert was given in the Helltg Theater. “The boys are having a successful trip,’’ said Manager Walker. “While the crowd at the theatre was not as large as we expected nor as large as It should have been, we made ex penses. Fine crowds turned out ev ery place and the welcome we re ceived was good. The continuous run of the “Bluebird” for the past week kept the sale of our seats down somewhat. Also the grand opera Is there this week. This means that Portland people have been subjected to a number of good attractions re cently. “This trip of the Olee Club Is a sort of an experiment this year. It Is really the first time that the men have been kept busy while on the trip. While I know that the continu ous traveling has been hard on the men, especially where the changes In altitude are frequent, yet the Club has not appeared as often as It has been possible. This trip to Port land, Albany and Corvallis has been filled as full of concerts and ap pearances as possible. This Is being done In the Interests of the Univer lty and I believe that the advertising that is received by the University as a result will more than compensate for the accompanying loss from the sale of seats for the main concert. “It is true that many people will take advantage of the free appear ances rather than go to the oamcert. but the benefits will more than com pensate for the expenses. Hereafter we are going to make it the regular thing that the Olee Club shall make as many appearances wherever they are, as possible, thereby advertising the University to a greater extent. I believe that this will be a much bet ter plan than has been pursued in the past. It will mean that the mem bers of the Club will have to work harder, but that is what they are on the Club for.” The alee Club appears today be fore Albany College students, and at the theatre there In concert tonight. The return will be made Thursday.
