OREGON EMERALD "The Varsity Paper” WILL LECTURE ON ALPS Mountaineer's Address In Vlllard to Be Accompanied With Pictures. Club Will Hike. Picture* taken upon Mt. Grepon, thought by many mountaineers to be the most difficult ascent in the world, will be shown during the lecture of Mr. Ho mer Rogers, of Mt Hood Lodge, Friday evening at 8 in Villard Hall, under the auspices of the Mazama Walks dub of the university. The Aiguille de Grepon is one of the chief peaks on the Pennine Alps. It is 11,489 feet high and was one of the last peaks in the Alps to be scaled. The feat was accomplished in 1881. Mr. Rogers’ subject will be “Mountain eering in European Alps.’’ He is a grad uate of Yale university and a mountain eer of ability and many years’ experience. Mr. Rogers has put in many years in the Alps, especially those of France and Switzerland, and his lecture will be illus trated with 125 slides from these coun tries. ' The Mazama Walks club has extended a cordial invitation to everyone to be present at this lecture. Members of the club will hike Saturday to Coburg. The party will leave Langs livery at 9:30 Saturday morning and go to Coburg Bridge, spend the day on Co burg Hill, and be brought back from Co burg Bridge by truck in the evening. The trip is being planned by W. C. Yoran and A. C. Shelton. ^ “All wishing to go this trip should no tify Mr. Yoran ot myself before Friday night or early Saturday morning,” said Mr. Shelton, in discussing the proposed hike. “If 15 or 20 go, the expense will not be over 25 or 30 cents each. Indi viduals should 'bring lunches; the club will furnish coffee and other necessi ties.” ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ NOTICE. 4 ♦ g Student Tickets n ♦ ♦ will admit to ♦ ♦ 1/e 4 ♦ Municipal Band 4 ♦ Concert ♦ ♦ Friday night. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦4444444 4 COMMENCEMENT. 4 4 Oregon club party, Friendly hall, 4 4 Friday evening, 8 p. m.

Tonight the “Comus Players,” Eu gene’s direct contribution to the person nel of the Ellison White Chautauqua troupe, will leave for El Paso, Texas, where they will make their first appear ance May 1. The “Comus Flayers” are composed of Professor A. F. Reddie, Miss Janet Young ’14, Ralph Ash, ex-’17, Earl Fleishman '17. The party will be on the road 15 weeks in all, and will cover 10 of the Pacific Coast states. The chnutauqua is scheduled to appear in Eugene July 8th. According to Mr. Reddie the players will carry a small set of scenery. This will be used in theiT two productions, which will be a short selection from "As You Like It,” ns it was supposed to have been played in Shakespeare’s time; and a modern three-act drama, “Carson of the North Woods.” The latter play is a scene depicting the Freneh-Canadian woods near Quebec. The two produc tions will attempt to demonstrate the difference between modern and Shakes pearean forms of drama. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ SENIORS! ♦ ♦ Order your commencement an- ♦ ♦ nouncements nyw.

All arrangements are about completed for the benefit dance which is to be held in the armory May 5, to aid in the cam paign. A number of tickets have already been sold and a record crowd is expected. Lamar Tooze, Jimmy Sheehy and Mer lin Batley are the student representa tives on the committee for the dance. The students are beginning to take an •active interest in the campaign as is shown by the number of votes that have been dropped in the ballot boxes placed in the library and the Y. M. C. A. Doughnut League Under (Continued from page 1) to get the “climax” worked up before the game starts. Because they did this Tuesday afternoon they defeated the Friendly Hall team by a score of 12 to 10. The fraternity boys got their first bats and to prove that they believed in getting off on the right foot, ten Sigma Chi men batted in the first inning and seven runs were scored to their credit. Sandy Leonard, who held down the re ceiving end of the Sigma Chi battery and led the batting order, made a three-bag ger off Kuck, in his first time up. In his four times at bat he made three hits. Kuck did not show up to his usual form Tuesday night, and Alexander, pitching for the winners, was also a trifle wild, but the jump gained in the first inning was too much for the dormitory men to overcome. The Sigma Chi team was made up of the following men: Leonard, catcher; McCready, 2nd; Bullock, s. s.; Alexander, р. ; Farley, 1st; Tregilgas, r. f.; Clubb, 3rd; Neil, c. [.; Sims, 1. f. Friendly Hall: McLain, 2nd; Bey wood, s. s.; llurd, r. f.; Knighton, c.; Nelson, 3rd; A. Cossinan, 1. f.; Campbell, in.; J. Coseman, 1st; Kuck, p. The pangs of hunger overcame the teams representing the A. T. O's and the Fijis Monday afternoon when the end of the fifth inning—the closing frame for the preliminary Doughnut games—found each side with two runs to their credit. A hasty consultation of the captains re sulted in a mutual agreement to postpone the deciding innings until a more con venient time. Skinny Hargreaves, for the A, T. O’s, proved a veritable Ty Cobb when it came to base running, and was responsible for a trip to third on a medium-sized single. Dwight Wilson and Blackaby split about “60-50” on the pitching, although the A. T. O's found the former for seven hits to the Fijis’ two. The results of Monday’s game: K. H. E. A.
