Picking an all-star team is at best a most difficult task es pecially when each school {days but eight games during the season. The writer has attempted to award the places on the team to the men who have played the most consistent ball during the year with out any regard for previous reputa tion on the diamond. After careful con sideration this team looks to be the cream of the conference tossers. The catching job is the easiest one of the lot to pick. Shy Huntington, the varsity backstop, was the find of the I year, and stood head and shoulders over i rival backstops in all departments of the (Continued on Page 2) Poet-Mood Returns Another Verse Out Versfier Trills Again to Ease the Hard Heart of the Copy Editor.

Creditable Performance Is Prom ised by Critic Who Attended Rehearsals. ■it (By Martha Beer.) When the curtain Tises on the Senior play “Arizona,” Friday night, the audi ence will have the pleasure of seeing one of the most interesting plays that has ever been given by a University cast. The play is western through and through and much is added to the drama by the quaint coUoquialiems of Mr. and Mrst Canby. When picking out charac teristic speeches of the play( it will be found that over 50 per cent of them are uttered by these two people. “Pa” Can by’s bluff philosophising and Mrs. Can by’s dissatisfaction with ranch life, coupled with her overweening admiration for the soldiers, is heartwarming and laughable and certain to register a hit with the audience. They are both rich parts, and in the hands of Clark Burgard and Charlie Fenton, creditable character isations are expected. Tony Responsible for Local Color. Tony Mostano, the Mexican Romeo, is also responsible for a large share of local color and Arizona spirit. When he as serts that he will marry Lena Kellar (Edith Ochs) in spite of her past. Col onel characteristically exclaims, “That’s Arizona. We’re a little shy on water here, but there’s as much charity for a woman as you’ll find in the whole gospel of St. John.” The forceful Tony will undoubtedly be a bright spot on the play oai M*"dell Weiss* former successes >— dicate that he will play the part for all there is in it. Esther Chalmers, who plays the part of Estrella Bonaham, has a difficult role. She has several strongly emotional scenes which require finish and able acting. The applause of the other members of the cast at rehearsals of these scenes bears witness to her ability. Earl Bronaugh’s work must also be commented upon. He, with Miss Chalm ers, hold up some of the big scenes of the play in a thoroughly professional manner, and his soldierly air and mili tary bearing add materially to the spirit of the play. “Bat” Plays Juvenile Part. Merlin Batley, who plays the “juvenile lead,” Lieutenant Denton, has already starred so successfully in other Univer sity productions that he heeds no intro duction or praise. When he takes the center of the stage, the audience may expect a satisfactory and convincing per formance. Kita Fraley’s work, too, is above criticism. She is Bonita, the vivacious, from start to finish, and her dimples will -play a big part in making the per formance a succesa. On the whole, the play promises a lot of surprises and under the direction of James Mott, one may well expect an un (Continued on Page 2) FI WEATHER PROMISES ZIPPY TIME FOR BIO JUNIOR WEEK-END FESTIVITIES --— Water Fete Starts Festival Ceremonies tonight. Kincaid Oval in Good Shape and Fast Ti me May btf Made. Entries Are in For Oregon, 0. A. C., and the Stat^ High Schools. With a northwestern wind blowing away the clouds and the sun coming out with its tropical heat prospects are shaping them selves for one of the grandest Junior week-ends in the history of Ore gon. “Tonight the festivities start with the Water fete and from that moment on it will be zip and zazz to the lasjt dance of the Junior prom. Featuring as a major par*- of the week-end are the Oregon-O. A. C. and state interscholastic track meets. Tc,might the track was in fair shape and with a little attention tomorro\y the Kincaid oval will be in readiness for some fast time. Friday afternoon the dual meet with O. A. C. takes place and all day Saturday ,will be devoted to run ning off scholastic events. No predictions are being made on the outcome of the annual tangle with the Corvallisites, but hopes of the Oregon fans center in the Oregon spirit and £oach Hayward’s abil ity to always turn out winners no matter what material he has on hand. Some of the high school entries have arrived on the scene and show some “gobs” of speed. We’r^ off boys! ■ OREGON ENTRY LIST. The entry list is. Mile—Don Belding and Robert Lang ley.

Probably the most important musical event of the festivities will be the concert given Friday noon while the 'weary work ers partake of the co-eds11 feed. This will be the first appearance of the band as a cabaret attraction and no doubt the sight of so much food displayed about them will hamper to some extent their ef forts.

Junior Week-ends may come and (Junior Week-ends) may go, but the band goes on for ever, so after this week the band will start training for com mencement when they expect to get in some more good work. New music is being rehearsed at every practice and by that time the repertoire will be great ly increased. IT BEET ELECTED Austriallian Ballot is Final Tri bute of Seethnig Pot of Politics.

Never before has such a large percentage of the voters turned out to the polls in “Old” Villard to take part in student body affairs. From the time the voting commenced at 10 o’clock in the morning till the polls : were closed at 2 p. hi., there was a con- ' stant stream of balloters marking the “yes” or “no” on their tickets. More than 075 votes were cast. The ballot tallyiug-was not completed I until six o’clock, due to the leaving out of about 100 votes in the first count which w;e finished at four o’clock. 1 Nevertheless the halls of Villard swarmed ‘ with nnxious wniters until the results 1 weTe announced. 1 The less contested positions und the 1 officers chosen to fill them arc: Man ager of the Emerald, George Colton.

Pittook From Penniless Printer to His Pres ent Position of <j)wner of the Portland Oregonian, i Enucleated by Edgar Piper, Editor of Oregonian. A man who has been on the same job for slity-three years—H.[L. Pittock, veteran publisher of the Oregonian—was present at a journalism assembly In Guild Hall Wednesday afternoon at which Edgar B. Piper, editor of the Oregonian, told of the means and methods used by Mr. Pittock in bringing the paper to its present prosperity and power. Mr. I’it tock did not speak, but brd>ke his rule of ‘leaving all remarks and statements about the Oregonian to its enemies’ suf ficiently to let Mr. Piper tell of his work. Mr. Piper has himself been a member of the Oregonian staff for nearly 30 years. Cams to Portland Ponullsss. .Mr. Pittock came to Portland about 1850, and as a penniless young printer secured his first job on the Oregonian working for his board. He slept on a 'bench In the Oregonian office. The paper wes then published weekly by a journal istic named Thomas J. Drysr. Portland, then a village of some 000 people, was competing for metropolitan honors with a number of other river towns, and had requested Diyer to start a newspaper. Dryer, a politician as much as an editor, was not financially success ful, but finally received a political ap pointment, and went as commissioner to the Sandwich islands. He gave young Pittock) an_ option on tha paper for arrears in wages, and Pittock took over the weekly Oregonian. Paper had a Tradition. The paper had a tradition of controv ersy and debt, the town was unestab lished, but Pittock had the idea of found- ! ing a daily paper. In spite of the fact that he had three competitors, he we»t to .San Francisco and bought a press. The 1 steamer on which he returned was driven from its course and given up for lost, but arrived in Portland about a month later. On Feb. 4' 1861, the Daily Oregonian was first printed. It is now the oldest ' paper published without interruption on ' the Pacific Coast. Mr. Pittock encountered several dif ficulties. The pony express and the Panama railway were the quickest moans of cross-continent communication. There was not even a coast telegraph line, al though the electric telegraph was known and used in the east. Mr, Pittock, how- j ever, said Mr. Piper, originated a scheme whereby he got the news quicker by steamer than his competitors and soon outdistanced them. The first editor of ' the daily Oregonian was Major Simeon Frwacis. 1 Scott Editor for 50 Years. In 1865 Harvey W. Scott, for nearly CQgn^uedkogu^ta.t^*]L
