MUSES VARSITY TEAM
TO LOOM OP STRONG
Wearers of Lemon-Yellow More
Than Fulfill Expectation
of Fans.
FEE AND MUIRHEAD ARE HOPES
Return of Half-Miler Nelson to
Fold Will Surely Add
More Points.
The showing made by the Varsity
track athletes in the Far Western meet
at Corvallis more than fulfilled the ex
pectations of the campus fans. One thing
is certain that the versatility of Fee
and Muirhead is the great hope for the
University colors in the track meets of
the coming season. By taking a total
of 30 points as against all comers it
demonstrates a strength in the team far
surpassing the pessimistic reports ema
nating from Conch Bill the last three
months. With Martin Nelson back in
I shape and form again more points will
be added, for when Nelson is going good
no one can beat him in the 880.
The meet of last Saturday proves be
yond a question of a doubt that the dual
contest between the Varsity and t). A.
C. this year will be excruciatingly close.
For where the strength of one lies there
is the weakness of the other, but that
Oregon can combat against this and
come out the better is shown by the
dope sheet.
Here is how matters went Saturday
at Corvallis:
Captain Fee was the best point win
ner for the green and yellow, taking
I first in the pole vault and javelin for
a total of ten points. Damon of O. A.
C. held first place in the latter event
until Fee’s last throw, which registered
164 feet, giving Fee a three-foot margin.
In the pole vault the crowd had quite
a thrill when it was announced that the
bar stood at 12 feet 8 inches, and a mo
ment later Fee cleared it cleanly. On
exact measurement, hower, it proved
to be seven inches short. Sutherlin of
O. A. C. pushed Fee to the limit in this
event, staying in till the last mentioned
| height.
Muirhead showed real class in the
high jump, winning from a strong field
at 6 feet 114 inches, exact measurement,
though the bar stood at 6 feet 5. This
was another hotly contested event. Mur
phey of M. A. A. C. cleared six feet and
Magone of the same club, 5 feet 11 in
ches with three other men tied for third
at 5 feet 10. In the 80-yard hurdles
“Moose” ran a close third to Kelley and
Thompson, both of whom have equalled
the world's record in the 120-yard event.
Lee Bostwick, for three years a
steady plugger in the distances was re
! warded by capturing first place in a fast
five-mile from Lucas of O. A. C. Bost
wick’s game finish brought the crowd to
its feet.
Belding, Montague, Staub, Wilson and
Atkinson materially helped Oregon’s
score by picking up points in the 400,
880 and mile. With more experience all
of these men should give a good account
of themselves.
One of the features of the meet was
the running of Bert Ford of Willam
ette, who took second in the 80-yard
dash. Ford was registered in the Uni
versity of Oregon until the Inst semes
ter and so is well known to Oregon stu
dents.
The score of the meet was: O. A. C.,
40; Oregon. 30; Los Angeles Athletic
club, 29; Multnomah. 21; U. S. C., 13;
I Willamette ,6; Idaho, 5; unattached, 5;
Olympic, 3; Columbia, 3.

Heilig Theatre.
DATE IS SHIFTED TO APRIL 15
Fred Heilig Wishes to Make
University Performance in
Portland Annual.
Shakespeare's “Taming of the
Shrew,” produced a month ngo at the
Guild hall under the auspices of the Uni
versity Drama Guild, will be played in
Portland at the Heilig theatre Satur
day, April 15. The caste includes 40
persons and will be accompanied by th:
University orchestra of 12 pieces.
The play will be repeatd again in Eu
gene, either - on the 21st or 24th of
April.
The production in Portland is the re
sult of the enthusiasm shown by Portland
alumni and University friends after the
performance here. Members of the fac

be talun to Portland.
Mr. Roswell Doseh wrote to Mr. Fred
Heilig, of Portland, and asked if there
was a chance to play the “Shrew” in
that city. Mr. Heilig replied favorably
and added the following suggestion:
“We are agreed that it would bo a
great thing if the University were to
establish a dramatic performance in
Portland as an annual thing, and we
would begin with that ideal in mind.”
It is probable that an exact date will
be set on the Heilig schedule arranging
for just such a yearly performance. Mr.
Archibald Reddie, head of the dramatlo
department, will select one of the next
years’ plays and work on it with the
idea of producing it on some date to be
decided later.
Mr. Heilig expressed himself as co
operating “heartily and industriously”
with the plans for the performance on
the 15th.
The members of the cast will guaran
tee their own fares, to be returned to
them aftor the performance. Personal
entertainment has been provided and
provisions have been mnde to care for
those of the cast who are unacquainted
in Portland.

Chaotic Grade Values Found in Report
The registrar’s office has compiled a
tnble of all the grades given last semes
ter. This is of interest to the atndent
because it clearly sets forth, with statis
tical detail, the varying severity in
standard of scholarship found among
the members of the faculty. 1
Thus, in regard to the H grhde, it
appears that twenty-two .instructors,
who reported a total of 1001 grades,
gave no II grades at nil, although the
grading rules indicate a permissible
maximum of one H grade in each twenty
or fifty-three out of a total of 1001.
These instructors, who set a standard
for the II grade too high for their stud
ents to attain, are Barnett, C|nswell.
Bezdek, Broeeker, Dunn, Dyment, Ed
munson, Fariss, Gilbert, Hope, Leach,
Miller, Merritt, Perkins, Powell, Reeder,
Rosenberg, Lawrence, Schmidt, Stetson,
Sweetser, and Wheeler. To these must
be added the names of Schafer,I Clark
and O’Hara, to make the total, i^s they
gave no II grade in the course they
gave jointly. ;
Secondly, there are nineteen other in
structors who give fewer H grades than
the maximum permitted by the grading
rules, averaging less than half th|e per
mitted maximum, in fact. These are,
Allen, Bovard, R. G. Clark, Clornn,
Conklin and Wheeler (in grades given by
them jointly), Cummings, De Cou,
Dosch, Howe, O’Hara, O'Donnell, Rob
bins, Smith, Sowers, Thacher, Watson
and Winger. This group gave 43 II
grades out of a total of 2081.
In a third class must he segregated
seventeen instructors, who observed the
exact letter of the rules, averaging al
most exactly the maximum permitted.
These nre Adams, Ayer, Boynton, Bur
gess, Conklin, Grimes, Hawkins,' Ilay
wurd, Lyman, McAlister, Parsons,j Pres
cott, Schafer, Straub, Thomson, Tur
ney and Young. As the rule makes
! the II grade an exceptional affair, not
necessarily to he granted at nil, and
only to he conferred when some indi
vidual far excels the usual standard of
high excellence, this group must he ad
mitted to show a generosity of heart,
tempered, however, by respect for the
bounds set to that tendency by faculty
legislation. This group gave 40 II
grades out of a total of 936.
There remains a fourth group, whose
kind-heartedness refuses to be eribh’d,
cabin’d and confined by mere conven
tional proprieties. This group, which
gave a total of only 700 grades, handed
out much more than half of the H
grades conferred, namely 114, ns against
02 for all other classes put together.
These seventeen instructors, whose
names will remain embalmed in the grat
itude of all poor students, are Bates
(both in English and in Ethics), II. A.
Clark, President Campbell, DeLay, Ea
ton, Forbes, Goldsmith, Lnndsbury,
Mitchell, Morton, Pennell, Reddle, Shel
don, Shinn and Thorstcnberg. Some of
'these are a good deal less generous,
though, for Lnndsbury, Sheldon and
Thorstcnberg gave one II to every four
teen students, Shinn, Morton, II. A.
Clark and Bates (in English) gave one
II out of every ten: Mitchell, Dr.
Bates (in Ethics) and Miss Goldsmith
one out of every six grades; Dr. Rebec
one out of every four, Miss Forbes one
out of every three, while President
Campbell set the whole faculty an ex
ample by giving half of his students II,
and S to most of the rest. In fact,
where thirty-nine instructors in the first
two groups, who together reported
3142 grndes, gave only 43 II grades,
President Campbell, reporting a total of
only 77 grndes, gave II to 38.
Have grades any standard value? The
famed Missouri grading system, it ap
pears, does not result in any uniformity
of practice.
BASEBALL TEAM, PRESENTS BRITTLE
DEFENSE IN OPENING ENGAGEMENTS
With Chemawa Games off the Boards Coach Bezdek Turns
His Attention to Bolstering up Weaknesses Shown in Re
cent Practice Games, Concentration Will Be Made on
the Development of Offensive Playing.
With the Chemawa gamps off tho
■boards Coach Hugo Bezdek has turned
his attention toward bolstering uii some
of the weaknesses that showed them
selves in the recent practice games.
The team ns a whole presented a some
what brittle defence in last Friday’s and
Saturday’s engagements. At times the
infield displayed a tendency to go up in
the air when there were runners on
tho bases. Maison and McLean were also
careless in making their throws to the
bags.
Outfielders Risley, Medley and Sheehy
had dittle to do, but their fielding was
far from being polished. Sheehy besides
mussing an easy fly ball, threw fair over
third baseman Maison's head in an ef
fort to catch one of the speedy Indians.
Nelson and Rathbun working their first
varsity games made good from the out
set. Dick has plenty of stuff on the ball.
His reul test will come this afternoon
when Bez pits him against the burly
Colored Giant's sluggers. Rathbun, al
though inexperienced, showed enough to
warrant a good trial in the conference
games.
Coach Bezdek’s concentration on de
veloping the offensive side of the var
sity’s play has brought forth the re
quired results. Every man on the team
got two or more hits in the two practice
contests besides showing class on the
paths. Huntington, Captain Cornell and
Medley were the heavy swatsmiths of
the series. Huntington, besides catching
fine hall, collected five hits, one of them
being a home run to deep left center.
Cornell’s speed and Medley's vicious
slide into the bases ought to keep op
posing backstops and basemen in con
stant fear.
“The boys played good hall, although
their work was crude in spots,” said
Bezdek, in reviewing the games. "We
will play a game every night this week,
in an effort to remove the rough edges.
By the end of the week I hope to have
them ready to meet any of the confer
ence teams. However, we hnve lots of
work ahead of us.”
Today the varsity meets the famous
Chicago Colored Giants team. Wednes
day and Thursday they will play nine
inning practice games with the fresh
men as opposition. On Friday and Sat
urday Willamette University will be tak
en on in a series of two games. The
team will leave Eugene Monday, April
10, for Salem, whore they will play the
first game of the spring barnstorming
tour on their way to Seattle.

“Horne-Run” Grant Lives up
to His Reputation by Hitting
Far Over Medley’s Head.
NELSON DERRICKED IN FOURTH
Rathbun Takes Mound and Al
lows but Four Hits, But Oets
Credit for No Stirke Outs
When the smoke of battle cleared this
afternoon the dusky colored giants who
come from the Smoky City of Chicago—
hence 'their complexion—the tally board
showed them victorious 11 to 0.
The gnme was slow and the only relief
from the monotony was the minstrelsy
of “Home-Run” Grant who lived up to
his rep by bingliug far over Medley’s
head.
Grant was the Goliath of the match.
Resides his master-stroke in the seventh
frame 1 he gave a demonstration of a
fight between the proverbial possum and
himself.
The game was not a pitcher’s battle:
After striking out three men in the first
four innings, Nelson got a wee bit wob
bly udder the consistent kerplunks of
the Neapolitan's; "Scoop” Rathbun took
the minimi, allowing four hits but get
ting no strike-outs in the remainder of
the gnme. The Giants rapped Nelson’s
deliveries for 10 hits.
Woods, chief gunner for the duskies,
retired1 nine of the pale faced Oregon
ites to the bench and only in the seventh
inning 'did he show any signs of going
up in 'smoke and then settled down
strong.
