Walker Sizes Up Prospects in Initial Game; Pitchers Lob Them Over and Everybody Hits. NO NEWS FROM U. OF W. Season Schedule Yet Up in the Air; Maison, Grebe and Comfort Out of Shape. In the baseball contest between the Varsity and freshman nine* this morn ing, the former had a little the best of the game, which lasted for about six innings. Every man who turned out was given a chance to show what he could do, and Coach Walker got a very good line on hi« material. In the first inning the freshman aggregation led off with two tallies. Gamble singled and had reached third when Young, who heid down the initial cushion, drove one to the top of Ceme tery Ridge, in the left garden, which was good for a homer. Art Berg, who worked first for the regulars, tightened up, and from that moment on did not allow' a man to reach third. Varsity Comes Back. The Varsity crew staged a come-back in their half the inning, by scoring three runs. Grebe led off with a walk, and Lind laid dowm a bunt which he beat out. Medley then sacrificed the two to third and second respectively. Bill Steers hit one to the outer portion of the field, scoring Medley, and placing Lind on third. Dutton came through with a two-sacker which scorel the pair. This ended the fireworks for the initial period. Little was done in the way of scoring until the fourth inning, when the fresh man came through with a couple of more tallies. However, as no score-keeping was done, not much account tvas kept of the run-making. The object of the session was to give the coach a line on his candidates for the various posi tions. Pitchers Lop Them In. “Curly” Dalgleish began the hurling for the first-year men. Orders were given ail the siabsters to throw them in stragiht and thus work on control. Besides Berg and Dalgleish, several other men took their turns on the mound. Wilson, Heywood and Hartley each worked a few' innings apiece, and all showed fairly well. •Brown replaced Morrison at second in the fifth, and Comfort took Runquist’s post in left field. He connected for two safeties in his two trips to the plate. These were the only substitutions that were made in the Varsity lineup, with the exception of the pitchers. Frosh Change Often. In the frosh lineup almost every man was taken out during the fray. There are at least two men out for each berth, (Continued on page two) OEM FOX STMT Telegram Setting Sailing for March 27 Changes Plans.

GIRLS7 ANNUAL FROLIC IS SET FOR APRIL 20 Must Be in Costume or Oft Floor Is Edict of Mildred Steinmetz, Head Manless Event. The annual April Frolic has been set for April 20, and plans are already well tinder way to make it the biggest success it has been in years, according to Mil dred Steinmetz, vice-president of the Women’s league and chairman of the so cial committee. Miss Steinmetz says that the April Frolic is an old tradition on the campus and is to be conducted as were former i ones, and the same rule of “everybody off the floor except those in costume.” will hold good. However, those girls who | wish to be spectators and not dance may do so, providing, of course, they pay them ten cents admission fee at the door. Prizes for the best individual costume and best stunt put on by an organized group will be given. Those who wish to put on stunts must call up Mildred Stein metz, any time during the first week in April is preferable. Festivities begin at 7 o’clock. Stunts come first, then a grand march, during which the judges appraise the costumes, then dancing for the rest of the evening. “l'es, there will be eats,” said Mil dred, “but the girls will have to buy them and the proceeds go along with the money collected at the door towards the fund for the Woman’s Building.” Shockley’s Athletic Ca reer Ends in Defeat. Bill Haseltine and Walter Grebe Victors In Handball Contest! Ed Shockley, wrestling coach who left yesterday to take up his work as ath letic director of ‘the sodiers at Fort Stevens, took “Slim” Crandall as a part ner in handball Friday morning and end ed his athletic experience here by being defeated 21 to 0 and 21 to 5 by a team composed of Bill Haseltine and Walt Grebe. That Ed knew little about the game is attested by Slim Crandsll, who points out the fact that Ed allowed himself to be drawn into the contest on Slim's side. The game, originally planned *to cost the loosers a specified, short, thick, malted milk at the Oregana, ended in a regular “tear” on the part of Bill and Walt, who figured that 'they could drink everything in sight because of their un expected but overwhelming victory. Coach Shockley has had considerable bad luck in Mexican athletics due to Crandall during the last days of his stay at the University. On’v Thursday he helped Sfim bet $2 on himself as a dis cus thrower, Ed going in on a 50-50 basis, and allowing the money to be cov ered by a $2 pot raised by doubters of Crandall’s prowess in weights. Crandall boasted at dinner table that he could throw the discus 95 feet, and was willing to bet that he could throw it 90 feet. He warmed up until late in the afternoon and got everybody but Ed uneasy. Then he threw it 87 feet. NEW COURSES NEXT TERM Recent American Poetry, Fiction and Philosophic Esays to Be Given.

Captain Cuttle and Toots Fur nish Keen Comedy; All Do Good Character Work. The production of "Dombey and Son.-’ by Professor Reddie's classes in dra matic interpretation Thursday and Fri day nights, was of a quality of exoei lince which revived and vivified cher ished impressions of the charming old stcrj, bringing back all of its qauint j ness and sweetness. The odd and inter esding characters which Pickens created in his masterful way, walked and talked before the audience. They were the in finitely human old friends of our imag inations, with an added touch of reality. The costuming had been very care fully worked out to harmonize with the spirit of the play. Besides reflecting in each case the personality of the char acter a general effect was obtained which was very pleasing. The settings were simple, and in an unobtrusive way furnished a harmonious background for the action of the piece. Reddie Is Star. As Mr. Reddie said beforehand, it was an "all-star ' cast. Brightest among the stars was Mr. Reddie himself, as the rollicking old sea-dog, Captain Cuttle. In voice and make-up. the captain was reality itself. The clever use of the iron hook furnished some of the best (comedy for the play. Rosamund Shaw as Mrs. Skewton, had one of the most difficult parts in the piece. Her interpretation was extreme ly clever and showed first-rate ability. The swaggering Major Bagstock was well represented by Norman Phillips. Mr. Phillips got well into the spirit of the i Part- The servant part was well taken j by Vera Van Schoonhover, and the two I of them added not a little to the play. Toot’s Cravats Are Suoeess. Norvell Thompson as Toots, was one of the bright stars of the play. He represented the naive and charming character of Dickens to the queen’s taste. The colors of his cravats were a stroke of genius. Kobert Cosgriff appeared well ns Dombey, although probably a little too gentle in the first scene for the ener getic man of business. Florence was well played by Catherine Dobie. In voice and person she had all the charm of the Dickens character. Beatrice Thurston, Amy Carson, and Adelaide Lake did very intelligent work in their parts. The character parts were all very well done. David Stearns played the part of the aged Sol Gills very well. Helen Anderson deserves much credit for her representation of the pugnacious Mrs. MacStinger. The spirited Susan (Continued on page three) Former Oregon Instructor Says Camouflage and Drill Make Soldiers’ Day Busy. Sends Copy of Company Paper, “Mirage,” Filled With News of Camp. Louis C. Rosenberg, formerly instruc tor in water-color and design in (he school of architecture, tells what the camouflage regiment in which he is enlisted is really doing, in a letter re cently received by Karl Onthnnk. Accompanying the letter came a copy of “Mirage." the company magazine, which is filled with sidelights on camou flage and camoufleur8, portrayed both in print and crayon in clever style. Mr. Rosenberg's letter says: “Have read all the interesting news about my doing kitchen police for a couple of months, in the Emerald. To one who really knows what K. P. is, it looks as thought I have been not only out of luck, but in bad. But never theless, a good knowledge of how to clean up a kitchen may help out some day—who knows? “Since the weather has cleared up we have been in the field, and the com pany lias done some interesting work in camouflage. We have been building models as well as working out problems in the open. But our work is not all camouflage; wo get plenty of long hikes and drill every day. That does not satisfy all the boys, and so baseball and soccer help to make n. day of it. I be lieve the company has material for al most any kind of gnme. The camouflage company just had their grand ball, which was a big success, and one of the big things of*the season. “1 am sending a copy of the company paper, the ‘Mirage,’ which I think you will enjoy. It is rather small, but I think it speaks well for whnt 'there is. “Doan Lawrence keeps me pretty well posted as to the doing at Oregon, and Vom all reports, the colonel is cerbsinly making a training camp there. Am very glad to hear it, and hope many of the men will get good things out of it. Very sorry to hear about young Kings bury “Best of luck to you and the old school. I am. very sincerely, “LOUIS C. ROSENBERG.” Company B. 40th Engineers Camouflage, American University, Washington, D. 0. DR. GEORGE REBEC WILL SPEAK To Address Science Club on “A Rational Map of Europe." Dr. George Rebec will address the. Science Club Tuesday night, March 10 at 7:45 in Dr. Winger’s room, on “A Rational May of Europe.” Marian Coffey and Hope McKeneie are spending the week-end in Corvallis. Edison Marshall, Author, Handles Journalism Class The freshman class in journalistic English Thursday morning turned over by Dean Allen to Edison Marshall, ex 'IS, of Medford, who since leaving the University, has placed a number of short stories in the American, Saturday Eve ning Post, and several other eastern magazines. Marshall is here with the fourth ordnance class. Marshall, as professor, went through a whole routine program, from calling the rol^ to voting a deciding vote as chairman on the question of whether smoking was harmful, and telling of the "good old days when he took journalism over in McClure hall and saw Dean Allen, hanging his feet in a waste bas ket. talk to the class and read a paper at the same time.” , Air. Mar.siisll explained that he had / never taught a class beforp, but that he believed the “first thing v.-e pro fessor* do is call the roll.” After roll cal! a paper on the use of tobacco, writ- ' ten by one of the members of the class, was read, which caused considerable dis cussion pro and eon on the part of both the professor pro tem and the mem bers of the class. When Mr. Marshall called for a vote of the class as to whether the tobacco habit was an eril one. opinion was found to be pretty evenly divided. Several of the young ladies of the Hass, as well as the men, thought it was all right, while some of the mea were opposed, Mr. .Marshall cast his vote with the former. Mr. Marshall then asked those on the negative side if they objected to sending tobacco do the soldigrs in France. When one of the men said he did, he was ques tioned as to what he would send the boys over there. He suggested choco lates. “Smoking on the campus is a differ ent, thing,’’ said Mr. Marshall, “it is an old custom, and a good one. It gives us respect for the old buildings.” Mr. Marshall went on to remark of the call of the Oregon earnpug, and how he could not be away many months without feel ing the same longing to return again. Another short-story writer. Jamea W. Egan, who jkas written for Street and Smith, and Munseys. visited th« class. Mr. Egan I* also enlisted in the ord nance course, coming from Tacoma, where he was a sports writer on the Tacoma Tribune. PERSHING GRANTS SPACE TO SHIP SOLDIERS BOOKS American Library Association May Send 100.000 Volumes per Month. Ry ordering that shipping space in the amount of 50 tons per month be set aside by the army transport service for the shipment to France of American Library association books for soldiers, 'General Pershing has given recognition to the need of reading matter for the use of American soldiers in France. A bulletin received at the University library tells of the provision made hy General rershing to ship to France some of the books collected in the book drive, which is to begin Monday, “Shipping apace is extremely valu able,” states the bulletin, “and General Pershing would never have allotted so much of it to the American Library as sociation if he did not thoroughly be lieve in the value of books to fighting men. By setting aside 50 tons of ship ping space per month, he has made it possible for the association to send to France a monthly average of 100,000 volumes.” The communication can be found "n the war bulletin board in the library. It gives a resume of the handling and distribution of the books. “Mighty Oregon” Song Asked for by Japanese. Tokyo Man Requests Copies of University Marches From Mr. Perfeot. Yes, even the bands of Japan are be coming interested in the famous “Mighty Oregon.” A card was received yesterday by Mr. Alhprt Perfect, from Sonosuke Asano, living on 013 Chome Ilonkokucho. Nlp honibashiku, Tokyo. Japan, saying he wanted copies of “Mighty Oregon’’ in both band and orchestral numbers. He also wished copies of the “Colonel Lead er March," and any other good marches which are being used at Oregon. ') his was all that was written on the card, and the only solution that Mr Perfect knows for his receiving the card 'is that some Japanese student at Ore gon has written home tcJtfng of the popularity of these pieces. NEW CLOTHES “BAD FORM” AMONG ENGLISH WOMEN Recently Purchased Costumes Causa Apologies, Says Oxford Professor. For a woman in England to appear in a new costume today, is considered “had form,’’ and any woman so pre editing herself generally does so with 'apologies for the absolute necessity of the case. This statement was made by Professor Stoughton Holborn, of the University of Oxford, in a lecture de livered in a fine arts course in Wash ington. “Before I was 12 hours in America,” ! said Professor Holborn, “I noticed in a ■ hotel in Boston the waste in sugar. As ’an instance observed, a man and his child each put several spoonfuls of sugar rn their morning bananas. This surely is unnecessary waste of a scarce commod ity. In contrast to 'this I would tell you that only three-quarters of a pound of sugar has come into my British house hold within the past three months. 1 “My wife writes me,” continued the professor, “that cooking utensils are no longer cleaned in the old way. Every vessel in which food has been cooked has water poured into it. After a time that water is strained, and the food which originally adhered to the side of the vessel is waved and cooked again.” MUSICAL CONCERT APRIL 5 University Orchestra Will Give Varied Pregram in Villard.

IK ill DEBATE Armstrong and Holzman Take Affirmative for Varsity; Vote of Judges Is Unanimous. Canadians Win Prom Eugeni Negative Team at Seattle On Same Subject. Th* triangular debate held last nigh between Oregon. Washington, and Bn* i»h Columbia, ended in a three-cornerm tie. The affirmative team of eaeh uni versity received a unanimous ciwieioi from the judge*, which ia indicative oi the possibility that the afflrmatire aid* of the question was the atronger. In the loeal debate in Vfllard hall, Kenneth Armstrong and Ralph Halnaaa pointed out the need for a supreme eonri ' at the dose of the present war to aettls 1 international disputes, and showed how their plan would alleviate disaster in the future. They claimed that the time wai now ripe for some international body to pass upon international disputes, and 1 submitted their plan as the proper ma chinery fenr the court. Tine Nat Here. W. J. Couper and A. A. Webiter, tht British Columbia team, argned that th« nations would he ao filled with hatred and rancor after the wer that they would not be able to get along harmoniously in an international court. Thay said th« plan would net work because no ns-, tion would give up their advantages. England wonld ot give up her eontro] of the eeae nor the United States het Monroe doptrine. The Oregon team declared that inter-, national doctrine* wonld take the plac* of national ideas, and that at any rati the league would be a step forward and worthy of a trial. The whole discussion was extremely lively anf. each man proved adept at re buttal. Armstrong did especially well in his main speech, and Couper shone iq refuting the affirmative’s arguments. The chairman of the evening was Dr. .Tames H. Gilbert, and the jndges wera H. H. Herdman, Samuel White, an<l Frank Hilton, all of Portland. Ce-ads Ara Next.
