A. T. O’s WALLOPED BY PROFS.
IN 6 TO 3 STRUGGLE
MONDAY
DOUGHNUT FINALS ARE NEAT
Schedule Given Out for Semi-Finish.
Three Successful Teams Will
Play a Round Robin
By Harry Kuck.
The preliminary round in the
Doughnut baseball schedule was com
pleted yesterday afternoon, when the
faculty nine beat Alpha Tau Ome
ga, 6 to 3. Those surviving the elim
inations thus far are Kappa Sigma,
Sigma Chi, Dorm Club, Phi Gamma
Delta, Sigma Nu and the faculty.
The semi-finals will find Kappa Sig
ma pitted against Sigma Nu Monday
afternoon; Phi Gamma Delta against
the Dorm Tuesday; and the faculty
will try conclusions with the Sigma
Chi team Wednesday. The three sue. i
cessful aggregations will then play;
a round hobin to settle supremacy.
The committee in charge had planned
to finish the semi-finals this week,
but the game with Pacific this after
noon and the inter-class track meet
on Saturday prompted a postpone
ment, hence salary flippers will geti
a chance to recuperate and aspirants;
will be able to get a few errors out
of their systems and store up a few
more hits with which to welcome op
posing slab artists.
The faculty scored quite a surprise
when they took the measure of the
A. T. O’s yesterday. They started
the music in the first inning, when
Ed Shockley connected with one of
Cochow’s choicest for a single into
right field; Dr. Gutberlet followed
suit with a screamer just inside first
base, and Ed registered the first run
of the game. Dr. Bennett was not
to be outshone by his cohorts, and
he also connected safely and the sec
ond run was history.
j.ne leatures oi uie game wwe uie
pitching of Professor Ayer and the
fielding and heavy artillery work of
one Hugo Napoleon Bezdek, who ca
vorted around the keystone sack for
the Pedagogues. This worthy re
ceived a good deal of attention from
the male spectators throughout the
game. Professor Ayer struck out 14
men and was stingy with the bingles,
throughout.
Coshow pitched a creditable game
for the Youngsters, but errors by his
battery mate allowed most of the
runs to filter across. Hargreaves
took up the burden in the sixth in
ning.
The faculty fcft the impression
with fans that they have a team that
will compare favoroably with the av
erage Doughnut nine and their ne: t
effort will be watched with a great
deal of interest.

FROM FLUNKER TO REGENT
IS RECORD OF H. B J’KWNEY
As a Student, Newly Appointed Offi
cial Succumbed to Chemistry, but
Came Back Stronger
From flunker-out during his student
days to Regent of the University of
Oregon after his school days, is the
ladder up which Henry B. McKinney
climbed to fame whem he was appoint
ed Regent by Governor Withy combe,
along with Mrs. George Gerlinger and
C. C. Colt.
During the Freshman year of Mr.
McKinney’s apprenticeship to the fac
ulty, he had not cultivated the habit
of assiduously burning midnight oil.
As a result, the second semester
found him with only six hours on the
debit side of his record and five on the
credit. He was a victim of Chemis
try under Prof. 0. F. Stafford.
However, after this experience, Mr.
McKinney became proficient in his
studies, carrying as many as 36 hours
a year and passing with A and B
marks. During the remainder of his
sojourn here he became a campus ce
lebrity as debater, orator, editor of the
Oregon Weekly, and more generally as
a hard common senslcal student. He
was All-Northwest fullback in 1907
under the coaching of Hugo Bezdek,
and was a point winner in the weights
under Hayward.
TRACK MEET PLANKED
FOR NEXT SATURDAY
Inter-Class Contest Will be Held on
Kincaid Field; More Evenly
Matched This Year
An inter-class track meet will be
held next Saturday on Kincaid Field.
Negotiations failed for a meet be
tween the Freshmen of Oregon and
0. A. C., for Corvallis meets the Mult
nomah Club aggregation at Corvallis
next Saturday.
In this inter-class meet all track
men will be allowed to participate,
the Varsity men being eligible for a
limited number of events. Every
event on the track calendar will be
pulled, or jumped, or thrown, as the
case may be. This year the four
classes will be more evenly matched
than last year and some keen com
petition is looked for.
Yesterday, at the first meeting of
the track squad since the Columbia
meet, “Bill” gave the boys the cus
tomary after meet speech. “I want
to ocngratulate you boys on winning
that meet. You did better than I ex
pected you to; better, I think, than
you thought you would.
“We are going to beat 0. A. C. in
May, but not by the margin that we
did at Columbia. You fellows are
good; but you mustn’t get the idea
that everything is coming easy. We
have been playing all spring, and from
now on track work will be hard. I
want the fellows who are training
for specific events to come out togeth
er and work together.
“I am putting you on your honor to
live up to the training rules. We are
going to California and we are going
to win some points, but we won’t win
the meet, though some of you are go
ing to place.”
For the remainder of the year there
will be a meet on Kincaid Field nearly
every Saturday. Among these are the
Oregon-O. A. C. Freshmen meet; in
ter-class meet; inter-fraternity meet;
Oregon-Washington meet; and the in
terscholastic meet. The dual meet
with O. A. C. is May 22, at Corvallis.
Only 8 1-3 per cent of the girls
taking gymnasium at the University
of Illinois showed an inclination to
discontinue their work when asked to
sign a slip answering the question,
“Would you like to be excused from
gymnasium if you could get full cred.
t for the semester’s' work?”
ACTORS TOIL NIGHTLY
III "JIMT1E'S WAY
ORPUT GETS REAL WORK OUT OF
SENIORS WHO ASPIRE TO
FOOTLIGHT FAME
LOCAL HUS TO BE FEATURED
Peppery Production Promised—Good
win Rises From Bed of Pain to
Answer Call of Art
“We are going to demonstrate that
such a thing as a live amateur play
is possible,” said Don Orput, ’16, di
rector of the annual Senior dramatic
venture, which will be staged during
Junior Week-End, in speaking of the
production today.
“I am going to put the caste
through its paces every week night
from now until the eventful date,”
continued the local Beiasco. “Be
lieve me, these Seniors are working,
now that these new duties are added
to the stress and strain of gradua
tion. Their self-sacrifice is truly
touching. I believe some of them
would rather flunk at the end of their
courses than spare themselves in
their effort to give the University a
real uplifting dramatic production.”
Orput said he wished to correct an
impression that he himself is a can
didate for a diploma in June, which
arose from the fact that he is to be
a member of the Senior caste.
“I still owe allegiance to the Jun
ior standard,” explained the maroon
thatched director. “But the part I
am taking is that of a ,:nut.’ Now,
since there are none of that species
in the 1915 ranks, the Seniors being
sedate and usually sober, I was forced
to come to their relief.”
The play, “Jeanette’s Way,” was
written by an undergraduate of the
University of California, and acted
by the Berkeley Dramatic Club last
year with great success. The Oregon
Seniors have introduced a few lo
cal touches which are expected to ap
peal to their audience.
Some inconvenience in rehearsing
was found before spring vacation,
due to the fact that Marsh Goodwin,
one of the actors, was lying in a lo
cal hospital with a funny rubber tube
protruding out of an excavation in
his central portion through which his
appendix had previously been hoisted.
However, the tube has been removed,
the puncture sewed up, and Marsh
is now as good as new. He says his
recovery was due to his eagerness to
be of service to the University as an
interpreter of theb est in dramatic
art.
The Seniors originally scheduled
their play for Thursday evening of
Junior Week-End.
However, there is a demand that it
be moved up to Friday, so that more
of the Junior Week-End visitors will
have a chance to see it. It is rumored
that the Glee Club concert projected
for the latter date will be aban
doned, and, if so, the shift will be
made. However, the Seniors say
they are content with their present
date, and believe both entertainments
can be given successfully.
One thousand students failed last
semester in the University of Illinois
in at least one subject, and about
two-fifths of this number were un
satisfactory in two courses.

RESULT OF 2 TEARS
WORK IS DESTROYED
THESIS OF ERIE LANE FOR FEL
LOWSHIP IN EASTERN SCHOOL
CONSUMED BY FLAMES
2,000 CHARRED PAGES SAVED
Fire Started by Wood Stove Being
Stuffed too Full of Shingles
Totally Destroys House
E. Erie Lane, a graduate student
in the Department of Education, lost
result of two years’ work Tuesday
night, when 6,000 pages of the thesis
he was about to submit for a Master’s
degree were destroyed in the flames
that consumed his home at 766 Fif
teenth Avenue East. He saved 2,000
charred pages, the typewriting on
which he believes he will be able to
decipher.
This thesis had played its part in
the romance of the Lanes. Upon it
they built their hopes for the future
when they surprised their friends by
their marriage last year. It was to
have gained for Lane this spring the
fellowship in an Eastern institution
which would have enabled him to con
tinue in university work. Meanwhile
Mrs. Lane, who had been Miss Belle
Prater, continued her work as sten
ographer in the University business
office, and Lane taught some classes
in the Eugene Bible University.
Practically nothing was saved from
the fire except the clothes Lane and
Mrs. Lane had on. Mrs. Lane was
away from home when the fire start
ed about 8:00 o’clock. Lane was work
ing in a different room from the wood
stove, which he had stuffed full of
shingles. When he discovered the
blaze, the room was all aflame.
The Lanes caried $1,000 insurance
on their household effects. Until fur
ther arrangements are effected, Mrs.
Lane says they are living “just any
where.”
U-MAN IS APPOINTED
Allen, Delegate to Frisco Press Con
gress, Unable to Go; Dyment
May Take His Place
Eric W. Allen, Professor of Jour
nalism, was appointed delegate from
the Oregon State Editorial Associa
tion to the International Press Con
gress, which meets at San Francisco
July 5-10. However, Professor Al
len will be unable to go, and has re
quested E. E. Brodie, President of the
State Editorial Association, to ap
point Colin V. Dyment in his place.
Mr. Dyment will in all probability
go
The congress will consider profes
sional questions of importance to
world journalism. It will serve no
partisan or sectional interest, but will
seek to promote by public address,
conference and discussion, the high
est interests of journalism, and,
through journalism, the public wel
fare. In organization and aims it will
be similar to the World’s Press Par
liament, held at St. Louis in 1904,
which was opened by Secretary of
State John Hay.
Some of the other delegates from
the State Association are: Elbert
Bede, of the Cottage Grove Sentinel;
A. E. Voorheis, of the Grants Pass
Courier; and George Palmer Putnam,
of the Bend Bulletin.
MOE, FORMER U. STUDENT,

The Journalism Department has re
vived copies of the Mosier Bulletin,
vhich was bought by Roger W. Moe,
i former University student, the first

****•♦•#■***
That’s what the members of the
Senior committee have to say about
it, anyway.
The first annual All-University lot
tery dance is a sure-enough go, accor
ding to its promoters. The students
have entered into the spirit of the oc
casion with an enthusiasm seldom dis
played except in an Oregon-O. A. C.
game or an epidemic of mumps.
Informality will be of the sponta
neous kind. It will not be a hard
times party, and no forced attempt
will be made to roughen the entertain
ment, but the committee expects that
it will just naturally resolve itself
into a free-and-easy, hilarious time.
The incongruity of the couples, it is
believed, will serve to contribute to
this spirit.
The ancient and almost obsolete
pastime of waltzing will not be fea
tured, say the Senior disciples of Cas
tle and Gross. Instead, a program
bristling with one-steps, and with a
couple of fox trots peppered in, has
been scheduled.
There will also be two ladies’ choic
es, and they will be plainly labeled on
the program, so that no confusion will
be possible. Not only will this fea
ture help to mix the crowd, but it will
give the co-eds some preliminary taste
of the privileges they will enjoy dur
ing the leap-year close at hand.
Then there will be a novel Paul
Jones, which the committee believes
is practicable even with the large
crowd which will be in attendance.
Concerning the exhibition dance
which has been advertised, the com
mittee says that it will positively ma
terialize, unless the couple which has
been engaged dies on the way. How
ever, they have other features which
they will introduce in case of failure
of these dancers to appear.

FOUR FOR KOYL’S JOB
Two Eastern and Two U. of C. Men
Considered by Advisory
Board
Four possible candidates for the po
sition of Student Y. M. C. A. Secre
tary at the University are under con
sideration by the Advisory Board.
Nothing definite has been done. The
board wants to proceed slowly.
The first man is H. G. Watson, a
graduate of Pennsylvania State Col
lege. He spent three years as secre
tary in the Colorado School of Mines,
and recently returned because of the
ill Health of his wife, from a three
years’ stay as missionary in South
America.
“Watson is a good man for the job,”
said Charles Koyl, the present in
cumbent. “I met him at the student
secretary school at Lake Forest, Il
linois, in 1911. He impressed me then
as a good, clean, forceful young fel
low, with a very strong personality.
He was a well known athlete in his
school days. He is a good mixer
and would be a power in pulling men
into the Association.”
The only objection to Watson, who
is highly recofmended by Gale Sea
man, is that his salary may be high
er than the local Association can af
ford to pay.
Another candidate, who will grad
uate from Wabash College, Indiana,
in June, has had little active expe
rience.
Two University of California sen
iors, George Collins and J. D. Foster,
a student pastor, are being consid
ered. Foster is an Acacia. The oth
er men are also fraternity members.
