PHONE 343 DRAMA LEAGUE TOUR SUCCESS LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC CROWDS GREET VAR SITY SHOW TROUPE FIVE TOWNS ARE VISITED Junction City, Central Point, Grants Pass, Gold Hill and Medford Well Pleased With “Professor’s Love Story.’’ Ralph Hubbarid, son of Elbert Hubbard, and W. R. Conrad, a Ger man Baron were assistant property men; J. Frederick Thorne, a writer of short stories was manager; his wife, who has played every Shakes peare heroine, was chaperone, and Prof. Archibald Ferguson Reddie had the leading role in the tour of the Drama Class through Southern Oregon during vacation week. “The Professor’s Love Story” was the play produced, three-act comedy by Barrie, and It “got-over” in every one of the five towns visited. The people want another visit next year. Professor Reddie believes that here aftr a trip of the class will be an an nual occurrence. The play was produced before large enthusiastic .crowds in every town. The comedy of the play was so clean, the action so lively, and the characters so delightful that it made a big hit, and was ranked above pro fessional plays by many, dramatic critics in the press notices. Although the regular property man was Professor Reddle's son Mac Ivor, Ralph Hubbard and Baron Con rad of Heidelberg assisted in this work throughout the trip. Both called themselves excess baggage, as Conrad went along for the fun of it and Hubbard because he had been visiting Professor Reddie in Eugene and was on his way to Gold Hill where he is spending the spring. The play was tried out first in Junction City, Monday night. It drew big laughs and the Junction City peo ple swore that it was the best play that over hit the city. Wednesday night Grants Pass was visited, Thurs day night, Gold Hill, Friday night, Central Point, and a whirl-wind fin ish was made at Medford Saturday night. - The troupe stayed at private hous es at many of the towns. Every where the people were friendly to th University and opened their hous es to the students. At Junction City and Gold Hill th actors were guests at dances given In the opera house after the play. The crowd was slimmest at Ce tral Point, a town live miles north of Medford, as Margaret lllington was in Medford as a rival attraction that night. According to the Central 'Point people, the plays that drop off at Central Point are usually “pretty fierce," and the “Professor’s Love Story” was declared to be the best play ever given In the town. “It was the best play, 1 ever saw on tin' stage,” said a town spokesman afterwards. A citizen presented Mr. Thorne with an unsolicited letter praising the play. The top of the stage was so low in this town that the scenery brought along for the play could not be used.

COLLIER ITEM ABOUT THE EMERALD WHITTLESEY’S Continued from page one) aut in (sic) 1901-5. During my four coliege years I worked on the Oregon Monthly (now extinct) and also wrote for the Oregon Weekly (later oranded ‘Emerald’). We ran our own papers. BUT we read proof and supervised the copy and did the work. W nat 1 cannot stand about the bunch there now is their slovenly laziness. Having written to them (re errors) as an alumnus for some yeare without getting any response or acknowl edgement, it seemed well to try the publicity method. It may seem harsh but the rotten bad work of the ‘Em erald’ is the reason. The last thing in my mind was to hint at any faculty editing. Let the students do their own work and make ’em do it. Pol ish the ‘Em.’ i. e., knock off the cor ners. None of the Collier’s editors (I am not one) feels superior as far as I knew but they do their best— at some pains. 1 hope to be in Ore gon in 1915 and will (sic) be very glad to see you then.” EASTERN COLLEGES FORM NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Yearly Medals to Be Offered for the Best News Articles New York, April 21—Delegates representing the daily, weekly an'd' semi-monthly newspapers Issued by students of eastern colleges met re cently at the Pullitzer School of Journalism of Columbia University and completed the organization of the Association of Eastern College Newspapers. To carry forward their purpose of improving college journalism it was arranged that two medals will be of fered yearly by the association. Each newspaper is entitled to two entries for each medal. One is for the best news story and the other for the best editorial. James Bruce, Princeton, presided over the meeting and one or more editors or delegates were present from tne Amherst Student, Brown Herald, Columbia Spectator, Cornell Sun, Hamilton Life, Harvard Crim son, Haverford News, Hobart Herald, Yale News, Williams Record, Union Concordiensis, Daily Princetonian, the Pennsylvanian and the Lafayette. The Michigan Daily, the Syracuse Daily Orange, the Dartmouth, the Colgate Madisoniensis, Rhode Island State Beacon, Vermont Cynic, and' the Wesleyan Argus applied for and were admitted into membership. The question of i dmitting papers pub lished in the women's colleges was brought up and on this the delegates were divided. The argument was on questions of expendiency, however, and not of prejudice. With the ad mission of women members the edi tors held that there would arise many social matters having no relation to the avowed object of the association, that of lmproveing college journal ism, while the annual dinner provid ed for in the constitution would be come unwieldy. After debate It was decided to require a three-quarters affirmation vote for admission to membership. SPRING OUTDOOR SPORTS TAKEN UP BY CO-EDS Dr. Stuart Makes Plans for Dif ferent Branches of Athletics Dr. Bertha Stuart, of the Depart ment of Physical Training for Wo men. has devised a plan whereby a practical demonstration in addition to a written examination will be re quroi at the end of the course in each of the outdoor sports. "The girls will still be expected to play 3 hours a week, but thie will do away with our having to keep a rec ord of the number of hours they spend at their sport,” said Dr. Btuart. "Outdoor work commences today. This includes tennis, golf, field hock ey, archery, canoeing and play-ground baseball. "A list of the things which will be required in the demonstration will be posted iu t me to be learned, and if any of the women fall to do them, they will be required to take the work over. "In this way when they successful ly pass the requirements they will be made to feel as if they have really learned to play the game and play it well. It is the results that count,” concluded Dr. Stuart. WIDGEDTBAS .FOUR OLYMPIADS MEET SATURDAY PROMISES MANY INTERESTING FEATURES HAWKINS AND M’CLURE RUN Outcome of Dual Contest Here Saturday Appears Doubtful. Multnomah Will Be Strong in Sprints, Hurdles and Field Four Olympic stars will appear among the members of the track team from the Multnomah club that will engage in a dual meet with the Oregon squad next Saturday after noon. They are Martin Hawkins, ex Oregon and Olympic hurdler, now director of track athletics at Mult nomah, Sam Bellah, pole vaulter, Walter McClure ex-Oregor» distance man, and Philbrook, the great shot heaver frofti Notre Dame. The Multnomah squad will include only twelve men but they will be of sufficient ability to make the dual meet highly Interesting and the out come will be extremely doubtful. Among the club athletes may be found, beside those already men tinned’, men of such calibre as Hold man who holds the Columbia Indoor record in the pole vault. Multnomah’s strength will lie in the sprints, hurdles and field events and with Hummell and Brace in the short distances repenting past per formances, Oregon’s chances look rather doubtful. Bill will train his new men hard all week and Saturday will enter three men In each event in order to get his best possible material for succeed ing meets. NOTABLES WILL APPEAR Eutaxians to Be Entertained! by Se lections From Artists Studied Caruso, Mme. Schumann-Heinck and other well known vocalists will sing for the Eutaxians Tuesday ev ening. They will choose their selec tions from Tanhaeuser, Mme. But terfly and Cavalleria Rusticana, all which the society has studied at the last few meetings. ENGINEERS ENJOY TRIP Upperclassmen Visit Plants of P. R. L. and P. Company Juniors and Seniors in the Depart ment of Electrical Engineering, ac companied by Prof. R. H. Dearborn, made an inspection trip to Portland during the first three days of vaca tion week, visiting the plants of the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company and of the Northwestern Electric Company. "We were well entertained' by the two companies," said Professor Dear born today,” and we had a fine time every day. It was just an inspection tour and we were in Portland all the time except when visiting the out lying plants of the two companies, that of the Northwestern Electric Company at White Salmon and those of the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company at Bull Run and at Estacade.” PHILLIPS’ RECORD TO BE CREDITED BY A. A. U. Idaho Man Who Threw Javelin 186 Feet Last Year Will Be Recognized University of Idaho, April 20— That ‘‘Buck” Phillips’ record of 186 feet in the javelin throw made in the meet with Whitman college in May, last year, will be credited by the American Amateur Athletic associa tion is the assurance recently re ceived by Graduate Manager Gus Larson. The association asked that affidavits be made and sworn to by officials of the meet. Phillips began his practice last night for the first time this year with the javelin, tossing it out 160 feet at the start. Besides holding the American record in the javelin, he has the Idaho record with the ham mer, 136 feet, with the discus at 114 feet, and is now putting the shot over 41 feet, which is better than the rec ord held by Gus Larson for Idaho. ‘‘His javelin record will not only be recognized by the American as sociation,” declared Track Coach “Heck” Edmundson today, “but he will throw it farther this year.” Another strong man on the Idaho team this year will be Lockhart, who is running the 60 in a little less than 5 3-5 seconds. The first track meet of the sea son will be held with the University of Montana May 2, when Idaho will have a chance to determine the real strength of her team. The second meet will be held with Washington State College, May 9. All around, Idaho has probably the best team this year that it has ever had in its ihstory and a great deal of interest is being centered upon the outcome of the first meet. 104 Hast Ninth St. Phene PIERCE BROS.
