AT EUGENE THEATRE
MONDAY
VACATION TOUR A SUCCESS
“The Professor's Love Story,”
After a Week’s Tryout to Be
Presented Before Eugene
Audience.
“The Professor’s Love Story” is
billed at the Eugene theatre for
Monday night, to be produced by a
cast chosen from Prof. A. P. Reddle’s
class In Dramatic Interpretation.
The cast has just returned from a
tour of southern Oregon and is in
shape for a star performance. At all
of the five towns visited on the
southern Oregon trip enthusiastic
crowds greeted the players, and the
clean comedy drew laughs from the
opening curtain to the last drop.
"The Professor’s Love Story” is a
comedy by Barrie, the author of
“Peter Pan.” It is the story of a
whimsical old professor, who falls in
love and does not know it. Before he
wins the girl many amusing things
happen. There is not a dull moment
in the play.
The Professor is played by Pro
fessor Reddle. The two women’s
leads, Lucy White and Agnes Good
wills, are played by Norma Dobie
and Janet Young. Effie Rhodes
plays the Dowager, the catty little
schemer for the hand of the pro
fessor, Ellice Shearer, the stolid
Scotch girl, and Beulah Stebno, Lady
Gilding.
Dr. Coslus will be played by Ralph
Ash instead of by Henry Howe, as
on the trip, and Howe will play Sir
George Gilding, Ash’s former part.
George Colton plays Dr. Yellow
leaves, a flagrant quack, and Earl
Bronaugh and Edison Marshall, the
two Scotchmen. Every member of
the cast has appeared in two other
plays this year, "Getting Married”
and "Strife.”
As this Is the sixth time "The Pro
fessor's Love Story” has been pro
duced by the Drama Class the audi
ence may expect a more finished per
formance than usual.
JOURNALISM STUDENTS
TAKE OVER CLASSES
Take Turns in Analyzing Head
lines Appearing in-Dif
ferent Papers
"Newspaper Headlines and the
Free Tolls Controversy" was the sub
ject of a lecture delivered before the
9 o’clock journalism class yesterday
by Henry Fowler, editor of the Em
erald. Fowler analyzed the head
lines of April 13. "The best news
story on the tolls controversy on that
day,” said Mr. Fowler, "seems to
have been the result of Senator
Gore's poll of the members of the
Baltimore convention, showing that
they backed the president and stood
for repeal by a majority of & to 1. It
seems to have been appreciated at its
news value in most of the states, but
scarcely appeared at all in the North
west.” A poll of the class showed a
general opinion that the Gore story
came nearer to being real news than
the Bryan story of the same day
which many papers substituted for
it.
The next lecture In the series on
Headlines will be given by Evelyn
Harding Monday on "The Electrocu
lion of the Four Gun-men." .Miss
Harding will offer a study of the
publicity given "Gyp the Blood,"
"Lefty Louie" and the others in the
leading papers of the baited States,
and will appraise the amount of
morbidity Indulged in by various
publications.
The first lecture was by l’rof
Alleu on the socialistic or individual
istic color givm the headlines over
the story of the examination of the
younger Rockefeller by a congres
sional committee.
Other members of the class will
treat In the same way various big
stories as they come up.
In the dual track meet held last
week between Stanford and the Lnl
versity of California, Stanford bested
her opponents by a score of 66 and
5-6 points to 55 and 1-6.
FIVE SENIORS
READY FOR WAR
PRES. CAMPBELL SAYS THAT
FOURTH YEAR MEN ENLIST
ING WILL BE GRADUATED
ALL CLASSES REPRESENTED
Precedent Established by Ore
gon During Spanish Ameri
can War, of Graduating Sen
iors Who Enlist, Is Followed.
Five seniors are wondering wheth
er they will stand up and receive
their diplomas in cap and gown next
June, or whether, clad In khaki, they
will be behind some trench shooting
at Mexicans.
These seniors are: Otto Heider,
Jessie Crenshaw, Charles Minturn,
Maurice Hyde, Erie Lane, Jessie Kel
lems and Sam Lyons, all of whom are
members of the second company,
Coast Artillery. One junior, Fred
Hardesty, is also a member of the
company, and Charles Minturn, Mau
rice Hyde and Tanjor Black will
represent the Sophomores and Fresh
man classes on the battle field.
It was announced yesterday that
the chances for these Oregon men
having to fight were good. The
coast artillery will have to be re-en
listed as marines before they can be
sent to Mexico, but according to
newspaper reports this will be done
before any call is made for volun
toerB.
At the outbreak of the Civil war
whole colleges were deserted and al
though Oregon University wasn’t
founded then, it did send men to the
Spanish-American war.
The seniors who are called away
to fight will probably receive their
degree according to President Camp
bell. “The seniors who left school
to fight In the Spanish-Ameircan war
were allowed to graduate,” he said.
Otto Heider has served ten months
in the second company, Kellems
eight months and Hardesty two
months. Crenshaw, Lane, Black,
Minturn and Lyons have served their
lull time and have recently re-enlist
lod. Several of them expressed' their
["willingness to go to war, but pre
ferred to wait till the end of the se
mester.
"1 don’t care either way,” said
Otto Heider. “I would just as soon
go right now.”
Of the nine men, two of them,
l.ane and Crenshaw, are corporals.

BASEBALL RULES
ARE PUBLISHED
OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES
OF ROOTING AND COACH
ING ATTACKED
IS COMMITTEE REPORT
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation Works to Better
Game as Played by Univer
sities and Colleges of U. S.
A recent report made by a special
committee appointed by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association to
consider what measures the Associa
tion may take to rid baseball of Its
objectionable features, is being cir
culated extensively amongst the col
leges and universities of the United
States In the hope that many or all
of the institutions will adopt the
rules, or at least parts of them,
which govern the game.
The committee was appointed a
year ago and after an extensive in
vestigation of conditions surround
ing college baseball it is now tender
ing as a result, six rules which the
committee believes will do much to
better the collegiate and national
game, doing away with many of the
objectionable features.
It is hoped by the Association that
the colleges and universities will see
fit to give the rules publicity In an
effort to get the student bodies or
councils which have charge of base
ball to take some action on the rules
submitted. Following, included in a
speech given by President Briggs of
the Athletic Association, are found
the rules:
“Your committee has for the time
being nothing to do with the difficult
question of eligibility, nor wth sum
mer ball in its relaton to amateur
sport. It is concerned with what is
appropriate and desirable in the con
duct of the game itself, in order that
the manners of officials, players, and
spectators may be uniformly those of
gentlemen, where the highest ideals
of fairness and sportsmanship shall
be maintained, as is so admirably
done in intercollegiate tennis.
“We do not think that anything
should be recommended which would
diminish the virility of the game, or
lessen the scope of Individual skill,
or of clever team work, but we earn
estly contend that strategy must not
deteriorate into trickery, and that
the rules of the game must be ob
served, not only in letter but in
spirit as well.
“To this end your committee rec
ommends:
“First. The strict enforcement of
rule 58 of the official Rule Book,
which defines the coaching rules at
first and third bases, explicitly pro
viding that ‘the coacher shall be re
stricted to coaching the base runner
only, and shall not address remarks
except to the base runner, and then
only in words of assistance and direc
tion in running bases. He shall not
by words or signs incite or try to in
cite the spectators to demonstrations,
and shall not use language which will
in any manner refer to or reflect up
on a player of the opposite club, the
umpire, or the spectator.’
“Second. The strict enforcement of
rule 21, par. 1, which explicitly pro
vides that 'under no circumstances
shall the umpire permit any person
except the players and substitutes in
uniform and the manager of the
team entitled to its use to be seated
on a bench.’ This rule places the
professional coach or trainer among
the spectators, where he should be
during the actual progress of the
game, and places the responsibility
for the conduct of the play in the
hands of the amateur players them
selves.
“Third. cThe strict enforcement by
the umpire of the rules forbidding
'blocking a runner,' 'prying a runner
off the base,’ and the like, as unfair
practice, and we appeal to student
public opinion to condemn such trick
ery, making it impossible even should
It elude the vigilance of the umpire.
Such sharp practice is explicitly pro
hibited by the rules, and an at
tempt surreptitiously to transgress
them Is as unsportsmanlike as It
would be for a tennis player, hoping
to escape detection, to deliver his
service from an unlawful position.
“We recommend further that, in
pursuance of the spirit of the rules,
boards of athletic control and facul
ties of colleges and universities,
banded together to promote a healthy
growth and a wise control of student
athletics, adopt and enforce the fol
lowing specific regulations:
"First. The catcher shall not,
during actual play, speak at all to
the batsman, except where occasion
requires a bona fide word of caution,
and in speaking to the pitcher he
shall not use words reflecting, or
calculated to Reflect, upon the bats
man or any member of the opposing
team.
“Second1. No member of either
team shall call or shout during the
game to any member of the opposing
team, except to caution him against
some danger, nor behave in any inde
corous or unseemly manner.
"Third. There shall be no oral
coaching from the bench.
“Fourth. The so-called ‘encour
agement of the pitcher’ from the out
field shall be stopped, or at least
minimized, since we believe that the
shouting of remarks in endless itera
tion is not only disagreeable to the
spectators, but is disconcerting rath
er than helpful to the pitcher. In
general, it amounts merely to sense
less noise, and is quite' unworthy of
college-bred men. Whatever ‘en
couragement’ or ‘support’ the pitcher
may need can be quietly given from
the infield.
"Fifth. The umpire shall warn
any player violating any of these
rules, and on a second offense shall
exclude him from the game.
“Sixth. That in general .the atten
tion of students be called to the im
portance of courtesy on the part of
the home institution to the visiting

are designed at critical moments to

“A baseball game is a splendid con
test of skill between two opposing
nines, before an academic throng of
spectators; it is not a contest be
tween a visiting team and a local
team assisted by a disorderly rabble,
it is delightful when, aB often hap

is as heartily applauded as a similar
play by the home team.

if endorsed by this Association, be a
real force and not a mere brutum

form, and copies be sent by the sec
