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.
The cast is as follows:

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.

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.
