PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A Wf*EK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1915 Volume XVII, No. 58
OREGON AGAIN HOLDS
MULTNOMAH TO TIE
SCORE IS 1 TO 1; VARSITY PLAYS
BETTER SOCCER THAN
VISITORS
“WATCH TUERCK” OF NO AVAIL
Time-Keeper Bezdek Becomes Ab
sorbed in Game and Allows Two
Minutes Too Much
By Floyd Westerfield.
What was in the University of Or
egon soccer team came out on Satur
day afternoon, when, for a sec
ond time, the Multnomah Club failed
to win. The score was 1 to 1, and
on the'day’s play Oregon was slightly
superior, although perhaps not enough
so to deserve a victory.
The possibilities of soccer, from a
spectator’s standpoint, was a distinct
feature Saturday. The game Was as
filled with thrills as a close interfer
ence struggle of the intercollegiate
type. So exciting was it, in fact,
that Hugo Bezdek, time keeper, let
the minutes overrun, and as the Port
landers closed with a dangerous rally
lasting ten minutes, the two minutes
extra that was played all but cost
the University the game. “It got so
interesting I never thought of the
time,” said Bezdek apologetically af
terward.
un tne science siae tnere was uwc
to choose. The passing of the Ore
gon forwards was slightly better than
that of the Multnomah sharks; at any
^ rate it was a type of passing better
adapted to the greasy ground.
Tuerck’s swings to the outside wing
men were beautiful, but so slippery
Was the hall that frequently it skid
ded over the side lines—sometimes,
it must be said, when )t should have
been kept in. Crockatt’s passing was
lees showy, but just as effective. It
was the physical strength of Tuerck,
however, thdt .demoralized half of the
Multnomah team. The clubmen’s in
structions were to, watch “Tuerck,”
and faithfuly they obeyed, but time
after time Tuerck broke past two or
three opponents and passed success
fully to his wings.
The Oregon half line was much
better than in Portland. Of the three,
Ralston probably checked his men
best, and Ralston’s wing was the
^ harder one at that. The Oregon backs
were also good, with Spellman play
ing his best game of the year and
Campbell perhaps a trifle too aggres
sive for safety.
Multnomah’s goal was scored in the
first half. Goreczky tried to fist out
the wet and heavy ball and succeeded
only in putting it to a Multnomah for
ward, who promptly shot it through.
Oregon scored early in the second
half, when a pass swung across the
goal mouth from the right wing to
Sheehy, who poked it through.
The game was rough in the second
half. The field was like a trench
along the Ypres.
The soccer team disbanded after
the game. The 1915-16 captain will
not be elected until fall. As the
game is now a Student Body activity,
a lively season is expected in the au
tumn. The game ends normally
about March 1. Corvallis expects to
put out a team next year.
Father Moran was referee on Sat
urday.

RADIATORSJO TARADE
“Brown of Harvard” Seat Sale Opens
Tomorrow at 9:00; Production
is Thursday and Friday
By Mandell Weiss.
Attired in their uniforms, the Ra
diators, headed by the University
Band, will parade the streets on
Thursday afternoon and herald the
performance of “Brown of Harvard,”
which is to be given at the Eugene
Theatre on Thursday and Friday
nights of this week. The seat sale
will open tomorrow at 9:00 o’clock.
The cast for “Brown of Harvard”
contains the most notable array of
University talent ever seen on tin
local stage at one time.
Tonight and tomorrow night the
finishing touches will be put on by
J. Mott, the director, in the dress re
hearsals. Every Indication points to
ward equalling the success which the
play attained in New York a few
years ago. There it ran for two solid
seasons at one theatre and smashed
he box office records in every big
city in the country.
“Brown of Harvard” is a comedy,
an uproariously funny comedy, with
a tremendously exciting plot. That is
a combination which may be rather
hard to imagine, but that’s what
“Brown of Harvard” is. It is a
scream, a riot, a deafening crescendo
of laughter and succession of thrills.

THIRTY MEN TRY FOR
PLACES ON TRACK TEAM
“OUT EVERY NIGHT FROM NOW
ON,” SAYS BILL HAY
WARD
DISTANCE MEN ARE SCARCE
Payne is Only Letter Man to Report;
So Far No Freshman Material
Has Developed
By Harry Kuck.
Swish of cleats on soft earth, dull
thumping sound of descending shot,
whirring of the javelin and discus,
gliding hither and yon of lithe, sup
ple bodies in the starts, jumps, dash
es, distances and the authoritative in
structing voice of Coach “Bill’ Hay-,
ward, makes Kincaid Field a busy'
placethese days and augurs well for
another track championship for Ore
gon.
“I’ll have a good team; it will neces
sitate lots of work for the young
sters, but they have it in them, and
I can make track men out of several,”
says “Bill” in discussing his squad of
thirty odd aspirants.
“Out every night from now on,”
is “Bill’s” ultimatum, and it prom
ises bad for the loafers. He says:
“A track man will never get any
where by spasmodic training—some
of these felolws think they can come
out when they feel like it and get by,
but they have a lot to learn.”
"Grasshopper Loucks promises to
be utility man. “Bill” can use Loucks
anywhere from the Century to the
half, and it all depends upon how the
other men develop in which race he
will specialize. “Doc” Stewart thinks
he has a find in Kadderly, and this
pair may furnish some thrills before
the spikes are laid away this spring.
Martin Nelson, the half miler, is
a litle lighter than last year, and
ought to clip a little off his time.
“Cotton-top” is the only 880 man of
note on the roster.
Distance men are pretty scarce this
year, especially when one looks back
to former seasons and recalls such
stars as Windnagle, McClure, Hug
gins and Payne. In previous years
the Lemon and Yellow have had a lot
of dependable long distance men, but
this year Payne is the only letter man
out. He has been sick this winter
and may not run up to par. Bost
wick and Langley are good pluggers.
No Freshman star has separated him
self enough from his fellows to bright
en the coach’s eye.
“Bill’ has prescribed a new jump
ing form for Muirhead and “Moose”
is coming along well in this depart
ment. Clark, the Coos county ath
lete, has a good prep record in the
high jump, but is. very slow to get
going in the new style.
Sam Cook is heaving the shot and
will probably throw the discus and
javelin also, as weight men of ability
are scarce. Except Heidenreich in
the discus, the other weight aspirants
are Frosh; Callison, Philbin, Monteith
and Snyder being out for the shot.
Over a dozen candidates are out
for the sprints. Goreczky probably
has an edge on the field at present.
Boylen, last year’s mainstay in the
short runs, will probably be missing
this season. Kent Wilson, Clarridge,
Westerfield, Peacock, Sheahan, Ham
street, Barnett and Gilbert are lining
up for starting practice.
Staub, Washington High’s 440
crack, fails to improve to suit Coach
Hayward, but if his form can be
remodeled slightly “Bill” expects him
to make some fast quarters.
The first meet is the Columbia In
door Meet at Portland the middle of
April, and “Bill” don’t propose to let
O. A. C. cop the honors if good, hard,
early training will help any.
Ground was broken last week for
the erection of a $16,000 thirty-room
dormitory at Purdue University.

in the Women’s Gymnasium. Her
topic will be “Unfinished Faces.” The
Girls’ Quartet will give several songs

dress, “The Way and the Will,” will
be given Sunday at 4:00 o’clock. There
will be musical programs and every
thing that will insure a successful
meeting at each lecture. Notices
printed on postal cards will be sent
to every girl in the University, con
taining a schedule of the lectures. All
other dates have been postponed this
week-end to allow every woman in col
lege to attend these meetings, and
members of the faculty are co-operat
ing with the students to insure their
attendance.

WEATHERFORD ILL
SPEMAT BANQUET
_
PRESIDENT CAMPBELL TO PRE
SIDE. ALL OREGON MEN
ARE INVITED
OFFICERS TO BE INSTALLED
Koyl Pronounces Speaker’s Ability to
be Unparalleled—Circular Let
ters Sent to Every Student
Dr. W. D. Weatherford will attend
the banquet Thursday evening in the
City Y. M. C. A. and will give a
short address. The main series of lec
tures will open Friday evening at
7:00 in Villard Hall.
President Campbell will preside at
the banquet Gale Seaman will in
stall the newly elected Y. M. C. A.
officers, who. are: Cloyd Dawson,
President; Martin Nelson, Vice Pres
ident^ Charles Collier, Treasurer; and
Kent Wilson, Secretary. The Glee
Club will sing several selections and
Paul Sprague will give a vocal solo.
The members of the Greater Oregon
Committee are endeavoring to get ev
ery man in the Student Body to at
tend the Weatherford banquet, and as
a final reminder the executive com
mittee of the Greater Oregon group
has sent the following circular letter
to every man in the Student Body:
“The first Greater Oregon meeting
will be held in Villard Hall Friday
evening it 7:00 o’clock, March 19. As
a final gun in the campaign to get
‘every man at every meeting,’ a ‘feed’
will be given at the City Y. M. Q. A.
Thursday evening at 6:00 o’clock.
“The principals speakers at the feed
will be Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of
Nashville, Tennessee; Mr. Ivan B.
Rhodes, State Y. M. C. A. Secretary;
and Mr. Gale Seaman, Pacific Coast
Secretary and member of the Inter
national Association Committee. At
this time will also occur the instal
lation of the newly elected officers of
Greater Oregon.
“Signed, Leland G. Hendricks, Tom
Boylen, Bert Lombard, Peter Crock
att.
Charles Koyl, Cloyd Dawson, James
Corbett and Douglas Corpron attend
ed the Y. M. C. A. state convention
last Saturday and Sunday at New
berg, Oregon. All of these men
heard Dr. Weatherford speak and
have heartily approved his ability.
Charles Koyl said:
“Weatherford is a bigger man than
we thought he was. There is abso
lutely no limit to his forcefulness. If
any man at Oregon does not hear
Weatherford’s lectures, he is going
to lose the greatest opportunity of
his student life. Weatherford is not
an emotional speaker, but he just
uses plain, cold reasoning, and plenty
of that. He is so convincing and rea
sonable that he reminds me of a bat
tering ram. Weatherford gives the
best series of lectures I have ever
heard. Let’s have every man out for
every meeting.”
“The Evergreen," a weekly paper
published by the students of the
Washington State College, at Pullman,
Washington, prints the following in
a 1,000-word article on the success of
the Weatherford meetings at that col
lege:
“The visit of Dr. W. D. Weather
ford is over, but the force of his mes
sage is still with the 500 students, fac
ulty and townspeople who heard him
on ‘Christian Leadership’ in the four
days while he was here. He chose for
his addresses such subjects of the big
theme as in his experience he has
found to be the crucial questions in
the life of the college man, and he
treated them in a way that stimulat
! ed his audiences.”
W. M. Smith. Secretary to the Pres
ident, announces that the Student Af
fairs Committee has refused any dates
this week-end, on account of the
Weatherford meetings.
