LEMON YELLOW NINE
Captain Anse Cornell Shows Up
for Practice. Thirty Others
Are Warming Up.
FIRST GAME A MONTH OFF
Pre-Season Dope Favors Mc
Lean, Grebe, Cornell and
Maison on Infield Berths.
Baseball prospects are looming bright
er every evening as Coach Bezdek puts
■the boys through the paces. Now that
the class basketball series is over and
the frosh neophytes have survived the
recent fraternity initiation ordeals, sev
eral new faces have appeared on the dia
mond. About 30 men are turning out
nightly for the team.
Captain Anse Cornell put on his spikes
for the first time this season in Tues
day morning’s practice session. Anse
has been working in a downtown store,
but will be out regularly from now on.
He ought to have a great season provid
ing the old injury to his knee does not
bother him.
Walt Grebe arrived on the campus
Wednesday morning after a two weeks’
sojourn with his parents in Portland.
Walt is entirely recovered from his re
cent attack of erysipelas, and is anxious
to put on a baseball uniform. However,
it will be some time before he can exert
himself.
Pre-season dope favors McLean, Grebe,
Cornell and Maison to compose the var
sity infield. Cornell and Grebe, barring
injuries, are fixtures at short and sec
ond. Both McLean and Maison are
somewhat inexperienced but are learning
fast.
Coach Bezdek expects to have the
squad in good condition before many
days. Beal work will commence next
week. At this time last year the team
had not turned out for practice. The add
ed two weeks of practice and a continu
ance of the warm weather should get the
varsity in fine physical shape to meet the
conference teams.
The first games of the season are
more than a month off. Oregon plays
the Chemawa Indians in Eugene on
March 31 and April 1. The following
week-end will see the University of
Washington in a two game series with
the lemon-yellow. Owing to the lack of
money in the student body treasury there
will be no practice games prior to those
already schedule.

“ THE COMMITTEE
GOLHCIL IS DIVIDED ON
. SOPHOMORE MEMBER
“Would Be Figurehead,” Ob
jects One Side; “Means Con
tinuous Policy,” Says Other.
The student council lust night ap
pointed Harry Kuck and Marie Churchill
to draw up a constitutional amendment
providing for one sophomore member.
This will afford a definite basis for dis
cussion of whether this class shall or
shall not be represented in the council.
Genevieve Shaver suggested that, the
underclass member might thus get into
training, and serve on the council two or
three years. Max Sommer advocated
the plan.
“Need Continuity Policy.’’
. “We need a continuity of policy,” he
said. “We need not have made some of
the mistakes of the past if the council
had had some experienced members, and
some who knew what ln.d been done the
previous year.”
Fred Kiddle and Echo Zahl are oppos
ed to the admission of a sophomore to
the council. "The seniors do the real
business of the council. A sophomore
would be a mere figurehead,” asserted
Kiddle.
Lamar Tooze argued, however, that a
sophomore would at least voice the opin
ion of the underclasses. “And they con
stitute at least three-fifths of the stu
dent body,” he said. “They pay their
eight dollar tax just like the rest of us,
too.”
Committee Is Appointed.
A committee consisting of Max Som
mer, Claire Raley, Genevieve Shaver,
Fred Kiddle and Echo Zahl was appoint
ed to look into the problem of over
organization on the campus and report
later.
Max Sommer and Karl Recke are to
draw up an amendment to the constitu
tion providing for a yell leader's emblem
and an advisory council for the yell lead
er. This amendment also will be report
ed later.
The next meeting, on March 8, will be
devoted to discussion of junior week-end,
and to a report from the committee on
the co-operative gtore.
CLUB TO TOUR AGAIN
Men’s Glee Will Make Coos Bay Trip in
April, Says Tooze; 15 New
Men Pet “0.”
The men's glee club will probably
make a trip to the Coos Bay country
during April vacation, according to Les
lie Tooze, manager.
Present plans include six concerts, at
Florence, Gardiner, Marshfield, Myrtle
Point, Coquille and Bandon. The Will
amette Pacific is completed to within
five miles of Florence and trains will
probably be running there by April.
Fifteen Win “0’s.”
Fifteen new members of the glee club
won their “O” this year by fulfilling the
requirements of the club and by making
the eastern Oregon trip. They are: Wal
ter Grebe, Harold Hamstreet, Harold
Humbert, Carl Nelson, William Morrison,
Iver Ross, John Black, Roy Stephens,
John I)olph, Earl Fleischman, I>owis
Bond, Everett George, Ilo-Sheng Huang,
Raymond Burns and C. B. Corbitt.
Manager Tooze will receive a sweater
instead of an “O” due 'to the new ruling
that managers of student activities will
be awarded plain sweaters instead of let
ters.
There is some dissatisfaction among
the men with the size of the glee club
“O” and a smaller pin is being consider
ed for next year. Professor R. II. Ly
man distributed the little gold emblems
last week.
The glee club was this year composed
of nearly all new men. Only five of the
I lettered singers remaining from last year.
FASHIONS OF 50 YEARS
ARE SEEN IN ONE HOUR
Y. W .C. A. Presents Pageant in
Villard Wednesday as Part
of Jubilee Celebration.
I
Fashions of 50 years ago were in
vogue for an hour yesterday morning,
faring the production of the Y. AY. C. |V.
pageant in A'illnrd. It seemed like a pro
fession of crinolines, hoop-skirts, bo
leroes, ruffles, and pretty girls moving
in slow succession from a vague some
where in 1 Stitt to the place and time of
the present. j
Many of the gowns, truly striking in
their color and texture, were lent for this
occasion by F.ugcnc women, who saw
themselves as in a mirror, from their
places in the crowded hall. One of the
foreign costumes, warn by Ethel \Vail:e,
came from the Philippines and is the
property of Mrs. Warren 1). Smith. The
Y. AA\ C. A. lias no organization iu ti^ie
Philippines as yet.
Pageant Not all External Boauty.
Put the pageant was not all external
beauty. There was a story running
through the procession from the work
ing giirls in the early history of the asso
ciation—the girls who made this society
possible—to the group of sorority wom
en, who completed the lino. In 1806 some
women met to organize a club for the
protection and help of self-supporting
mill and factory women. Year by year
this organization grew, broadened, and
undertook new phases of Christian ser
vice.
The body of the pageant (represented
the groups of people touched by the
association work—the athletic, foreign,
working, and college girls. There was a
group of very little girls, too, who came
to hear stories and to take advantage of
the many helpful and instructive amuse
ments provided in every association
building for the children.
Last Portion Devoted to Present ,
The last portion of the pageant was
lovoted to the present and showed the
place of A’. AV. in the college, social,
iternry, and working life of the Tweu
rieth century girl. It was an altogether
pleasing ending and brought the audience
mck to the present without the feeling
if a sudden drop from an almost fin
known period to the real “now.”
Much of the success of the whole af
fair is due to the work of Juanita AA^il
kins, ns the Girl of 1866, and to Emma
Wootten, the Girl of 1916.
Rex Campaign Nets $300;
Clytie Hall Wins First Prize;
Townsfolk Respond.
Approximately 2,000 tickets—
worth—were Hold in the Hex theatre
campaign, which had been conducted !
since Saturday noon and which cloned
last night. This means $150 toward the
woman's building fund. Without offib'al
counts having been made, indications are
that Clytie Hall has won first prize. The
second prize will go to either Louise
Bdiley or Bernice Lucas. j
Townspeople Are Generous.
Townsfolk as well as TTniversity peo
ple have been most generous and eager
to make the project, first suggested1 to
Regent Irene II. Gerlinger, by Manager
McDonald, of the Hex, a success. Many,
unable to go, bought tickets just to “hlelp
the cause.” Mrs. Charlotte Zieber, un
able to leave her chair, is wearing one
of the legends “I Am Helping to Build
the Women’s Building, Are You?”
A statewide campaign of the Sjort
waged here will probably be conducted
by some moving picture house in every
city within a short time. Many managers
have written to Mr. McDonald, express
ing approval and requesting information.
Twelve Seek
“Key” Charter
Local Phi Beta Kappas Send’
Petition to National: 12
Members at Oregon.
A petition will go in this week from
the University of Oregon to the Semite
and council of the united chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa asking them to con
aider establishing a chapter at Kugene
The senate meets March 10 and at
this meeting the petition will be con
sidered. Should tin- senate pass favor
ably on the application, the council will
give it final consideration in September.
"Oregon has never petitioned for a
chapter of l’hi Beta Kappa before,” said
Dr. K. (Mark, professor of history.
"Most schools have to make several ap
plications before they are granted a
charter but I think we have a van
strong case.”
There are 85 chapters of I’hi Beta
Kappa, (tne of the youngest is the chap
ter at the University of Washington.
The application for this chapter wis
first sent in 1007 and the chapter was
not established until 1013,
If the general custom is followed, the
only qualification for election to the so
defy will be high grades. It is probable
that all students receiving the highest
two honors will be eligible and all those
who have received these honors since
the establishing of the new grading sys
tem at the University may be elected.
Members of I’hi Beta Kappa in the
faculty are:
Dr. ltobert Carlton Clark, Dr. Her
man A. Clark, Dr. Timothy (Moran, M.
II. Douglass, Mrs. Mable Holmes Par
sons. Dr. Joseph Schafer, Dr. Warren
D. Smith, Dr. Hoy M. Winger, Professor
F. L. Stetson, Professor O. F. Stafford,

CREW SQUAD REPORTS AT YALE.
The first call for Yale crew candidates
resulted in the attendance of about 100
university crew men and 70 freshman.
REAL, LIVE MONKEY
WILL ALSO ENTERTAIN
Special Dancing to Be Featured
in '“Taming of the
. Shrew.”
PLAY STAGED IN GUILD HALL
Shakespeax-ian Production Will
Have Special Scenery With
Colored Lighting Effects.
Tho Tanyng of the Shrew to he given
in (iuihl hall on the evenings of Frida v
and Saturday of this week bids fair to
he the most distinctive and spectacular
performance of the year. All sorts of
surprises have been promised in the pro
duction. A live monkey and special
dancing directed h.v Miss Goldsmith and
Miss Under will play no mean part in
securing tlile general effect desired.
The play will he costumed somewhat
earlier than the Kliznbethnn period in.I
beautiful eplor and lighting effects will
he fenturei} throughout.
Stage Settings Featured.
Stage settings will also he featured.
The scenery for the “Shrew” is being
worked opt by William Rurgnrd and
John Beekett. They plan to make the
settings suggestive rather than realistic.
Curtains with vnri-colored lights arc to
lie used almost exclusively.
It is unnecessary to introduce the
"Taming of the Shrew” to a University
audience. Petruchio’s “will you, nil you,
I will marry you” method of wooing
Katherine, and her consequent subjuga
tion is as well known ns Lady Macbeth’s
sleep-walking scene or Portia’s plea for
mercy.
And for the caste of the play, both
time and space prevent even the mention
of all the more important parts.
Petruehio is a favorite role of Mr.
Ileddie's, and he plays the part with
satisfying vim and vigor. Much may he
expected, too, of Rosalind Hates’ work
as Katharine, for she has played minor
roles with! Xothern and Marlowe and
can he collided upon for some finished
work.
Critic^’ Comments Favorable.
Trustworthy critics have also com
mented vefy favorably upon Marion Tut
tle’s work. She plays the part of the
younger daughter, Rianea, with a feel
ing and fervor which is unusual in an
amateur interpretation.

Shrew” is.as follows:
