rick of Connecticut, Berle of
Tufts Are on the List.
Tryouts for tli<> Far Western Track
Meet at Corvallis will be held Thurs
day afternoon providing the track is in
condition at that time and the weather
permits.
At present the track is under water
and it is almost impossible to run on it
and from indications there is not much
chance for the field to dry. This is a
handicap, however, that most of the
other school- die Northwest have to

Hayward docs not know yet just how
many men he will take to the meet on
the first of April. Several men who or
dinarily would make the trip have either
not yet I reported for practice or have
been unable to get into condition. Nelson
will be unable to go as he has been
troubled with his throat for sometime and
has not been able to get out until re
cently. This will leave Oregon short in
the 880. Langley has not yet reported
this year and McConnell, track captain
in 1014,'has not yet turned out although
he "has signified his intentions of doing

who will

be selected. Westerfield, Pea
cock, Eurgard and Dnvis are showing up
the best in this line. In the 440 Straub
Wilson and Brunkow are the most prom
ising at present, while the absence of
Nelson and Langley in the half mile
leaves only Straub and Montague to pick
from in |that event. Belding is the only
man signed up for the mile and the two
mile candidates are numbered to three,
Bostwick, Wagner and Moorehouse. Chet

In these days of prosperity and plenty,
Jewelry is no longer a luxury; it is a neces
sity.
It is necessary that map or woman “ap
pear” well in business or society.
This pleases those you meet; this will
please you and “pay” you. j
Do not let your necessary articles of or
nament be just anything you can pick up
anywhere cheaply. But let them come from
us and be artistic and luxurious.
We make “Quality” right; then the
price right. T

Fee and Moose Muirhead are the only
stand-bys on the squad. Fee will handle
the pole vault and high and low hurdles
and the javelin. Moose" will specialize
in the high jump and the high hurdles
but will probably enter the low hurdles
and the broad jump. Muirhead has also
been training for the pole vault but as
yet he has not showed up very well. Bart
lett and Fee will have the discus and the
shot putter \yill be selected from Cal
lison, Johns and Fee. Snyder was out
for the shot for a short time but the
spring fever struck him and he has fail
ed to show up lately. “There are men on
the campus who could piak'- the team if
they got out and trained,” says Bill Hay
ward.
| Bill thinks that the Far Western
Meet is a goo'd thing iia that it arouses
athletic interest, but it works a hardship
j on those teams that do not have early
! training facilities. Bill Hayward has made
no predictions as to the outcome of the
Indoor Meet at O. A „C.

“STUDENT” IMPOSTER
FIXES WATCH “FREE”
The University of Oregon has no
jewelry department.
Because there is none and he
gave his watch to a “student,” so
that it might be repaired free of
charge, a gray haired man has ap
pealed to the authorities asking
them to assist him in finding his
timepiece.
According to his story, he met
a nice looking chap on Willamette
street. The younger man asked
him to see his watch and told him
that he was studying to be a jew
eler at the University of Oregon.
Several defects in the watch were
discovered and the older man ad
mitted that it had not been run
ning just right. Finally, the “stu
dent” proposed that he take the
watch to the repair department at
the University, where, he said, it
would be fixed without expense to
the owner. The proposition look
ed attractive, and the watch was
unsnapped from the chain and
hnnded over to the youth.
Several days elapsed. The own
er of the watch called at the Uni
versity to get the watch, in pur
suance to his agreement. When
he got there, to his amazement, it
was announced that there was no
jewelry department.
OUI GOLF ENTHUSIASTS
Students and Faculty Members
Use Links; Further Improve
ments Are Planned.
With the return of clear, sunny weath
er golf enthusiasts are driving the gutta
percha around the lot with renewed zest.
Professor licit Prescott who soon will
battle "Kaiser” Wilhelm, brother of Ru
dolph, the state champioli, for the Lara
wuy cup in the near future, made the
course in 4!i yesterday.
At present the main setback to the
course, according to Professor E. E. De
Eon, is the roughness of the ground. To
alleviate the bumps the golf committee,
of which Professor Prescott is chair
man, will have the grass mowed and the
course run over by a steam roller. This
change will make it possible for those,
who can keep the pill in the straight and
narrow path to make the course in bet
tor time. The actual cost of this im
provement has not been estimated, but
it is thought by Professor DeCou and
Professor Prescott that private sub
scriptions will have to he made to meet
it. The money advanced by the regents
was mostly expended on the first work.
To fender the course! more conveni
ent, Joe Tominaga, who was recently
courtmartialed by the senior class and
who rumor says is working out his time
now, has painted a large gign in the
northwest corner of the grounds read
ing: "Pniversity of Oregon golf links
for use of students and faculty. No
playing on Sunday.” lie has numbered
the flag poles at each hole, has placed
direction arrows on the tees, giving the
distances to the next. With the distance
given the player and the direction mark
ed out for the ball, nothing now remains
to do but to “start her rolling.”

FACULTY FOE MIKES
NEW ATTACK ON
Failnre of Previous Assault
Said to Have Been Due |
to Dissension. |
A second offensive campaign is being
planned by the faculty general staff
against fortress P. After a sound drub
bing in the Johnson hall sector of the
front on March 2, the invincible arimy
under the command of Field Marshal
John Straub, General Colin Dyment and
Colonel Boynton is sweating day and
night in the attempt to formulate a plan
whereby it can successfully assault the
fortress. ,
From the reports that were received
last, it seems that on March 2 the
army tried to end the war by a deter
mined assault on P. The plan of attack
was intended to culminate in the Ore
gon soldiers being made to pay an in
demnity of one-third of all the P’s that
they received in the course of their
years of toil. The defenders were taken
totally unawares.
The assaulting army came on irre
sistibly toward their goal. All hope ,of
the defenders was lost when suddenly a
cog slipped in the well oiled wheels ^f
the invader. \
No Reporters Are Taken.
No reporters have been taken with
the army and all news is rigidly cep
sored by the army’s owl eyed censor,
Herr General Count von Grimes. One
reporter was almost captured, but by ftn
unexplained ruse, made his escape. As
near as it can be ascertained, the fail
ure of the last attack was due to inter
nal disagreement in the invading aripy.
The probabilities are that the trouble
arose over the contemplated division
of the spoils. ,
At present there is a terrible artillery
duel on in the effort to ruin the morale
of the defenders, who are holding their
position without flinching at the mo
ment of writing.
An infantry attack is expected on the
first or second day of April when the
faculty army has become thoroughly ac
quainted with the country in which it is
prosecuting the war. According from the
advice received by the Emerald from its
reporter, who is somewhere in the
north of campusia, the termination of
thq, war, should the offenders win' will
result in heavy demands on the re
sources of the conquered soldiers. How
ever, the likelihood of the stubborn en
croachers winning is very faint, the in
formant wrires.
All Lyrics But Two Will Have to Be Re
Written; Time Too Short to
Write New Music.
-_ _ |
Despite the fact that the original
music which the committee had planned
upon will not be obtainable, the pageant
will be held as scheduled on the Fridtjy
evening of commencement week.
Mrs. Thomas O. Burke, president pf
the McDowell musical club of Portland,
who volunteered to procure the music to
fit the lyrics already written, has found
that she will be unable to do so, and
with the exception of two lyrics by Graqe
Edgington, one written to fit music com
posed by Cadman and the other to be
set to music by David Campbell, in
structor of piano at Whitmnn college, «
complete change will have to be made. |
The plan now is to use “ready made”
music and write the words to fit. This
will necessitate rewriting the lyrics al
ready written and probably will shortep
the program. i
Dr. E. S. Bates, producer of the par
geant. said: “The music we hoped to
get was to be entirely original and coin
posed to suit the words which have al
ready been written. Mrs. Burke very
kindly offered her assistance in procur
ing’ it, and expected to secure the eopoi
eration of Thomas Dobson. Mary Bower,,
and Frances Richter. Oregon musicians
studying in New York, and Dent Mow|
rey of Portland. However, the limited
time made it impossible to carry out the
plan and we will have to resort to musif
we can get. and then rearrange our ly
rics.”
The story of the film is drawn fronji
Pierre De I>a Motte Foquet’s French
classic of the same title—one of the most
j beautiful and abiding fairy tales of all
] time. Half in water and half on shore,
the many and varied scenes of the screen
1 play present opportunities for spectacu
lar and impelling pictures of pretty fancy
; which have been fully realised in the art
and invention of the photoplay producer,
