Willard Shaver, Harold Warner, Clarence Ash, Janet Young Former Stars. The Dickens story, “Dombey and Son,” which is being played tonight and tomorrow night at Guild hall, by Pro fessor Reddie’s classes in dramatic in/ terpretation, already has one success to its credit in Eugene. On December 6, 1912, the dramatic club of the Uni versity played “Dombey and So5!” at the Eugene theatre. According /to Mr. Reddie, many of the people y/ho saw that performance are responsible, in Prominent in the cast di that day were many students who have since taken active parts in the/affairs of the time. Willard Shaver, who is now with the 18th railway engineers in France, Jlayed the “Native.”/ Harold Warner, now a second lieute/ant in aviation, ap peared in the rol/ of “Walter Gay.” “.Tack Bunsby” w/is played by Clarence Ash, who is no/ a journalist.

Janet / Young, who has since spent several sea sons on the chautauqua stage, and now I in 'sew York city studying dramatics and7 dancing, played “Susan Nipper.” I “(Captain Cuttle” was Mr. Reddie, who /lays the same part in the performance /which is being give*- this week-end.

When the base ball men came in from practice last evening, whom should they see idling about the sacred precincts of the Var sity room but “Oklahoma Bill” Lyle. The letter men were aghast at the sacrilege, but fiendish joy soon took the place of their dismay. “Get the paddle,” said Sheehy. “Wait a minute,” said Bill. “I just came in here to-” “Xo excuses,” replied “Fod” Maisou. “You should have asked.” Whereupon Sheehy officially gave the bouncer its first tost. A gleeful crowd of underclassmen hailed the perform ance with joy, and attested both to the efficiency of the bouncer and to Sheehy as a master of ceremonies. MISS FOX'S SAILING DATE IS SET AHEAD TO APRIL 3 Telegram Announces Change in Time; Dean May Leave Eugene Tues day Night. A telegram received this morning by Dean Elizabeth Fox from the Y. W. C. A. war work headquarters in New York, states that the date of Miss Fox’s sailing will be April 3, instead of April 10, as had been anticipated.

Miss Fox’s work is to be social work among the nurses at a base hospital, somewhere in France, and is not to be in Paris, as she at first believed. She will have charge of a rest hut for the nurses, and will organize recreation and entertainment for them. Miss Fox leaves tomorrow morning for Portland, where she will attend a meet ing of the D. A. R., and confer witty Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, regent of t/e University, on matters relative to the filling of the vacancy left by Miss Fox's departure for France n xt week. / On Dean Fox's return to Eugene be fore leaving the University, /the wo man’s league and residents of/Hendrick** hall will hold an informal /“at home’’ for Dean Fox, at Hendricks hall, Tues day afternoon from 3 until 5 o’clock.

Coach Dean Walker and five mem bers of the freshman basketball team will leave Friday noon for a two-game series with high school teams of Coss county. The squad will meet the Marsh field quintet Friday evening, and Satur day they will hook up with the Bandon aggregation. The two teams which will meet the Oregon “frosh” have not had a very successful season this year, blit art? credited with being fast and scrappy, and always ready to put up a good fight. Both of these teams have been beaten by Coquille and Myrtle Point, who are tied for the championship of Coos county. Bandon has taken only one game in the county conference, hav ing returned victor over the Myrtle Point team at the time of their first meeting. The Marshfield team has won from Bandon and ha* taken one game from the Coquille squad. The freshmen have not been playing for almost two weeks and are therefore somewhat out of condition, but expect, ! with a few days of good hard work, to get into shape. A stiff work-out was held last night, and the men showed up well. The members of the regular team which met O. A. C. will make the trip, including Starr at center, Durno and Jacobberger, forwards, and Brandon and Chapman, guards. 'bores to Assist.

Paper of Hectic Hue Is sued by Fiji Victims. Abbott Left Shorthanded by Gray’s Recovery; Reporter Wanted. A newspaper, complete even to edito rials and personal columns, has been delighting members of the Fiji house for the past three days. Leith Abbott, re porter on the Emerald, has been con fined to his room with that reigning campus favorite, the mensles. Abbott and Harold Grey, who has also been afflicted with the Teutonic disease, have between them published a “Scarlet Sheet,” known as the “Red Spot." One copy of each issue was printed and this tacked on the door. Everyone who visited the room was good for a story, and warnings and ad vice helped fill the columns. Abbott’s typewriter was the press, and when ever the occasion warranted it, which was frequent, extras were published. Grey’s recovery has left Abbott short handed, and any new rneasle sufferer is asked to apply for a position on the reportorial staff.

C. meet, Claude Hill, who wrestled in the 125-pound class, has gained 20 pounds up to Wednesday night.

UNIFORM SPORTS T HUEDRTpiLY Matter Referred to Student Council; Plan Used by All Pacific Coast Universities. Amendment to Give Emerald Workers Emblem Award Passes Unanimously. Argument# for and against the pas sage of an amendment to the by-law* of the constitution of the University, read by Walter Grebe, providing that all let ters for the major sports be the same sire, resulted in a decision by the stu dents that, the matiter be referred to the student council, at a meeting of the student body Wednesday morning. In introducing the amendment, which gives the siae of ithe uniform letter a* the same as that now awarded for track, Grebe declared that all universities on the Pacific coast give a uniform letter, and do not give precedence to any of the five major sports: football, truck, baseball, basketball, and wrestling. Nelson Favors Football. Carl Nelson. Varsity football man, said in the discussion which followed, that he had played both footBall and basketball, but. that no sportt could equal the former. “Football,” he said, “should receive a larger emblem than the other sports. The hard knocks and strenuous training in football are not found in other athletic activities. This Amendment has come up before and has always been defeated.” The “Oregon spirit” and democracy were named by Ray Couch, another foot ball letter man, ns arguments for the uniform letter. "If a man goes in for football,” he said, "his spirit is no greater than that of the mum who enters other sports. Men work for the Uni versity, not for the ‘O’.” Cause of Difference Traditional. Harry Crain, editor of the Emerald, was in favor of the amendment, and said that it was simply by reason of tradl* ition that the football man gets a biggetfr* letter than the men in other athletic*,^ Walter Myers, winner of the forenal^ shield, said that if all the sports artf ' majors, all should get the same recog -— ----——t (Continued on page three) HAYWARD SERIN ILL. SAYS DR. JUS X-Ray Shows Oregon Trainer May Have Tumor; Can cer Cure to Be Tried. Operation May Be Necessary “Bill” Peels Happy, Resting Weil. News of Bill Hayward, which reached the campus yesterday afternoon through a telephone message received by A. R Tiffany, from Dr. Wiley B. Jones, head of the Jones sanitarium in Portland, where the Oregon veteran has gone to recuperate, indicates his condition as serious. At the time the message was received, the examining physicians had just com pleted an X-ray examination which showed the existence of a tumor in the stomach. This is net the final method of analysis, however, and in order to probe the case definitely, Dr. Jones will try a so-called ulcer cure. Under this treatment the patient is kept in bed for a period of three or four days, while the cure is put to a test, and at the end of that time a second X-ray is taken. If in Hayward’s case the second X-ray reveals 'the growth again, an operation will be resorted to, which will lengthen the period of his hospital stay to at least three weeks or more, depending on the progress of his recovery. Dr. Jones pronounces the Oregon trainer’s condition as not necessarily gruve, even In the event of an opera tion, since under the conditions of mod ern surgery it is comparatively safe, ail other things being equal. At present Bill is happy and resting fins, the physician stated.
