Marjorie Campbell Defeated; Contestants Evenly Matched and Play Is Wary. In a safe and sane game Friday night, Adrienne Epping won the women’s tennis championship from Marjorie Campbell, svith a score of 6-4, 11-9. The players ivere so evenly matched that until the last point was won, nobody could have predicted the outcome of the match. The game began at 6:30 with Miss Campbell serving. From the start it was evident that the players were wary of each other, and afraid to try any smash ing drives. The first set was 3-1 for Miss Campbell, but Miss Epping tighten ed up her defense, and slowly drew ahead. The games were easy and slow, and in some oases the ball was returned nine or ten times before one player or the other let it go into the net. Neither player showed any of the speed and sureness that had characterized her play big in practice games, and the fifty or nore people lined up on all sides had no thrills to make them remember the tame. The nest set began as the first one had, with 4-3 for Miss Campbell. The fames were deuce games, and usually Miss Campbell had a score of 40-15 jgainst her before she won any game. There was no attempt at placement on sither side, just a regular back-and-fortj :asy safe game. The set ended 11-9 although it could sot have been predicted one minute be fore. It was the longest drawn out game >f the series. The result of the doughnut tournament rives the cup to Miss Epping. hut docs sot decide the varsity team, as hitherto. The team this year will be in the hands .if the head of tennis. Miss Catharine (Vinslow, and entries for a doubles team ire urged. The University requires a (ingle player, and a double team to meet ;he various challenged teams. The choice irill be made on the basis of form, speed, regularity and 'ramwork. 0. A. C.

Faculty Committee Investigat ing- Probable Cost of Undertaking. The University faculty, through a com mittee comprising Professors W. D. Smith, 11. S. Hamilton, F. iJ. ihtnn. ami George Turnbull, is discussing the possi bility of sending an Oregon man to France, with headquarters in the Amer ican University Union in Paris, who shall be “over there” for the duration of the war acting as big brother and friend to all Oregon men in the service. The committee is at yresent investi gating the cost of keeping such an Ore gon representative in Paris and when it has all possible information, will start a state-wide campaign to raise the money. The faculty feels that it is necessary to have in France such a man, who will look up all Oregon men in the service, will provide for bringing them together when they are out of the Pouches, will arrange for entertainment or special medical service or whatever they need, and above all, who will take a personal interest in them. Washington Sends Representative The University of Washington has i sent as its representative Arthur R.

Leading Characters Carry Parts ! Adequately, Surmounding Many Difficulties. A surpassing daintiness and charm of setting, and unique, quaint costuming were outstanding characteristics of John Fletcher’s pastoral, ‘’The Faithful Shep herdess,” which was produced in Guild hall Thursday and Friday nights by the senior dramatic interpretation classes under the direction of Fergus Reddie, head of the public speaking department. The theme of the piece was simple in the extreme, dealing with the kindly ministrations of Clorin, the faithful shepherdess, to troubled lovers who crossed her path, while she herself re mained true to her dead love. In the end her fidelity and goodness prevailed ■and the final curtain fell on a group of reunited lovers, well satisfied. Perhaps it was because an idyl of the 17th century has not its former appeal in these days when the world is living so rapidly; perhaps because of things' nowdays. Whatever the cause may have been, the result was that box office sales were not so large as might •have been expected, and the audience were not overly enthusiastic. They showed however a very real apprecia tion of the more than creditable work of the combined classes in the depart ment, which under able supervision planned and executed the costumes and setting, provided the special music which accompanied the performance?, and transformed Guild hall and its stage into an exquisite bit of the .Spring | out-of-doors. Leading Parts Well Played. Of the Senior dramatic students who j played the various roles it is difficult j to pidk any bright and shining lights. Hester Hurd who played Clorin, took almost the first straight part which she has ever handled and did it well. Her pure white costume set her apart from the band of mortal shepherds, making (Continued on page three) DELIS BEIT BETIS IITHIBD OF SERIES Solve Cailison’s Slants After He Sends Them Back to Bench on Strikes in First. Final Score Is 8 to 5—Schade and Spangler, Rival Field ers, Shine. The Delta Tnu Delta baseball team took the third ga me of the doughnut series from the Beta Theta l’i represen tatives Thursday afternoon by the score of S to 5. The game was by far the best yet played in the doughnut league and was more evenly contested than the score indicates. The Betas opened the festivity bj scoring two runs in the initial inning on two hits and a couple of boots by the Delta infield. Collison, twirling for the Betas, struck out the three Dlt barters that need him in the first inning but was unable to keep up the pace. In the third the Deltas found him for five runs on three hits and several misplays. Weigel, first man up in the third, was banned but recovered quickly and after stealing second and going to third on Madden's sacrifice scored on an er ror that allowed Schade to reach first. From that time on the Delts had little trouble in solving Cailison’s delivery. Merily pitched a. good game for the Delts allowing only five hits. Paul Spangler spoiled a good chance for the Betas to tie the score in the fourth inning when he stuck on third after Schade had missed Boggs’ fly to right. Spangler and Schade playing right field for the two teams vied with each other (Continued on page three) Mu Phi to Buy Phonograph Music for Soldiers. Silver Tea and Musical Program to Furnish Necessary F unds. There is a saying and a theory that music will do more to keep troops on the cheerful path than any other one thing except food, and men returning from the front are emphatic on this point. In accordance with this. Mu Phi Epsilon, national women’s musical frat ernity, has taken upon its own shoulders part of the burden of supplying the Allied troops, particularly our own, with music in its most popular form. The Mu Phi national is purchasing phonographs to send to the front and has allotted to each of its chapters the task of funishing money with which to buy the necessary records for the ma chines. For this cause, members of the campus chapter will on Saturday May 4, be hostesses for a silver tea and musical which will be held at Hen dricks hall. A program has been arranged by the members in such a way that the enter tainment will he almost continuous dur ing the calling hours from three to five, the numbers being planned to come in groups of three or four.
