COLIEGIATE GAMES
Contests Scheduled for April 28
and 29, On Oregon Campus,
Transferred to Corvallis
CLUBMEN COME SATURDAY
Multnomah to be Received by a
Strong Batting and Field
ing Combination
The first two collegiate baseball
games of the season have been trans
ferred to O. A. C. at the request of
the Corvallis authorities in order that
the games between the two colleges
may be an attraction of the Aggies’
Junior Week-end. The games were
originally scheduled for April 28 and
29, on the Oregon campus. The first
game of the season will be played next
Saturday, when the varsity and Mult
nomah olub meet here. This game,
which is billed for 2:30, should be a
good chance for the local followers to
get a line on the ability of the Oregon
tossers and compare them with a team
that is aa strong as any the versity
will meet this year.
O. A. C., who are now on a tour of
the northwest, has been bumped twice
by the Washington State team. The
Aggies sent their two best pitching
bets against the Washington team but
were unable to put over a win. Miller,
the Aggies left hander, #ho humbled
the freshmen last year, was one of the
flingers who was beat. Washington
got six hits off of him and beat him 3
to 0. Three errors helped the good
work along.
Putting Hop on Ball
In practice the other night “ Chief”
Wilson and Eddie Durno looked good
and now that they are beginning to put
a hop on the ball they are getting along
nicely. There are two things that will
give Oregon victory in baseball this
season and they are good, steady field
ing and hitting. The fielding has been
pretty good so far and this department
looks as if it would be able to hold its
own. The batting is another question.
“Dot” Medley, Johnny Gamble, Bill
Rinehart and Hern Lind are the varsity
wecking crew and they are the ones
that are going to put over the runs this
season.
Neither Durno nor Wilson is going to
be able to depend upon speed to get
them by but lliey are going to have to
depend a lot upon the work of the men
behind them. Things look fairly steady
around the horn and if the team don’t
crack they should be able to back the
pitcher up in fine style. With either
Morrison or Campbell on the second
station and Rinehart on short that cor
ner looks safe. Houston is keeping up
his fielding and as far as that goes he
is getting along in big league style.
There is no use talking aoout i_iina on
the initial sack |ts he is as good as they
make them and can always be depended
upon.
Outfield Looks Good
The outfield is safe in the hands of
Gamble, Medley, Brack, Campbell or
Morrison and this department looks
safe. “Jiggs” Leslie behind the hat has
been showing better every day and by
the time the season starts should be
able to do his duty. If “Jiggs” can use
his bean behind the bat and et that peg
to second down a little better he should
have no trouble this season. His bat
ting is not anything wonderful but few
catchers are able to bat their weight.
With the first game of the series com
ing this week-end there should be a
record beaking crowd out to look the
team over and give the Multnomah
squad the east and west. The Oregon
team needs support and they deserve to
get it. Spring sports should receive
the same patronage that football re
ceives and the students have failed to
realize this as there have been very
few out to watch practice.
Co-Eds to Cavort
Down Fire Escape
at Call of Dean
Someday when you are out walking
and see the dean of women or the
Eugene fire chief drive up to a soror
ity house, you may hear bells ring and
see girls coming down rope ladders.
Don’t be alarmed for it is only a fire,
drill. “Nothing doing on the hero'
stuff.”
The University of Oregon co-eds are j
to have fire drills. Such was the an- j
nouncement made to the chaperones of
the sorority houses Monday when they
met with Dean Louise Ehrmann. The
order comes from President Campbell
who has long had under consideration
some means of fire drill for the
women. Each chaperon is to make out
some plan whereby the girls in her
house could reach the ground in safety
should a fire occur and hand the plans
into Dean Ehrmann by Thursday. The
Eugene fire chief will be called into
consultation where the problem is too
difficult for the chaperones to solve.
Rope ladders and fire-escapes will
have to be placed at all the houses
and pressure will be brought to bear
on the landlords who have here-to-fore
disregarded the plea of the girls for
fire escapes.
As a form of amusement the fire
will probably prove quite popular. One
co-ed said yesterday that she was al
ready making plans for a “fetching
costume” for drill. A faculty member
when asked why the men did not have
a drill, replied, that he supposed the
men could get out quicker than the
women.
BAND TO PUT FOR
EDITORS AT BANQUET
Their Wives Will be Guests at
Concert in Armory
Afterward
The University band will play during
the banquet given for the delegates of
the First Annual Newspaper Confer
ence of Oregon by the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce in the club rooms Friday
evening. Following the dinner while
the Willamette Valley association is in
a business session, the members of the
Oregon State association and their
wives will be the guests of the band at
the concert in the armory. Due to this
fact the hour of the banquet has been
changed to 6:15.
A great amount of interest has been
shown in the conference by the editors
of the state and it promises to be a big
success.
The newspaper editors will arrive at
the Journalism headquarters between
one and two o’clock Friday afternoon.
The sessions will be held in the annex
dining room at Friendly hall.
After the meeting in the afternoon
the delegates will attend the banquet
at the Chamber of Commerce. About
200 Eugene people and 60 or 70 from
other parts of the state will be seated
at the banquet.
SIGMA DELTA CHI ELECTS
Harris Ellsworth and Harry Smith
Decorated With Lead Medals
Two tall sophomore men are roam
ing around the campus these days
weighted down with pieces of lead
around their necks.
No. The men are not to be dropped
into the mill race and left there. They
are the neophytes of Sigma Delta Chi
ami they are wearing the improvised
pledge pin of the local chapter—a slug
from the linotype of the University
Press, bearing the inscription ‘1 Sigma
Delta Chi. ’ ’
The election meeting had an attend
ance of 50 per cent more than that of
last year—for there were three present,
Jimmie Sheehy, president; Alexander
G. Brown and Leith Abbott. Harold
Newton was absent fussing with his
senior play, which is more or less on
his mind these days.
The two neophytes are Harris Ells
worth, business manager and Harry A.
Smith, reporter, on the staff of the
Emerald.
Harry Kuck, of Dalles, a member of
the class of 1916, who has spent four
teen months in the service in France,
was present at the meeting.
JUNIOR WEEK-END
PLANS, TOPIC FOR
Baseball Games, Canoe Fete,
Track Meet, Senior Play,
Prom On Schedule
Junior week-end plans were the main
topics for discussion at last night’s Stu
dent Council meeting held at 7:15 in
Room 37 of the library. Beginning
with the baseball game at 3:45 P. M.
on Wednesday with the University of
Washington baseball team, the week
end was gone over quite carefully and
plans were discussed for each event. So
far the Juniors seem to have appointed
committees to take care of everything.
The schedule as it is planned begins
with two baseball games on Wednes
day and Thursday afternoon with the
University of Washington. Thursday
night is the canoe fete and Friday
morning is campus day, followed by the
Woman’s League luncheon on the cam
pus at noon. After that, there will be
a parade down town of all the Uni
versity students, with the band and
the winner of the canoe fete leading.
Friday evening will be the Senior play,
“Facing the Music.”
Saturday is given over mostly to the
interscholastic track meet. The pre
liminaries will be run off Saturday
morning, the burning of the green caps
will come at 1 o’clock that afternoon
and will be followed immediately by
the final track meet. The Senior Prom
will take the attention of everyone on
Saturday evening and most of the soror
ity houses will hold open house on Sat
urday afternoon.
Lyle McCroskey was unanimously
elected to the executive council to fill
the place made vacant by Jack Dun
dore. McCroskey was a member of
the executive council for a while last
fall, having been elected by the Asso
ciated Students last spring, but Mc
Croskey lost the office when he was
sent'to Camp Taylor.
Tracy Byers was appointed to work
with Karl Onthank and Dean Walker
in making the new amendments to the
constitution of the associated stu
dents and to have them printed as
soon as possible.
Nish Chapman, chairman of the stu
dent dance committee, reported that he
had signed for a student body dance
for May 17, but because there were so
many house dances on that night, he
hoped to have it changed.
As Junior Week-end is only two
weeks away, President White an
nounced that the council would meet
every Wednesday night before that
time in order to keep in touch with
all of the plans.
Morris Morgan, chairman of the com
mittee working on the caupe fete, said
that lots of interest was being shown
in this part of the program.
“There is a shortage of canoes,” ho
said, “but this will be made up by
other floats. It will be a big event,
and better than last year. ’ ’
Each organization on the campus and
each class will be represented by a
canoe or a float, and the entries will
be given out next week.
Lyle McCroskey, chairman of the
committee on programs, has been work
ing on the booklet which will contain
ten or twelve pages. It will include
score cards for the different events so
that each person will be able to keep
track of the scores of the events.
PLAY CAST IS CHANGED
Martin Chuzzlewit May be Staged in
Portland Under Drama Guild
Three changes in parts for Martin
Chuzzlewit, which is to be staged on
the campus Friday and Saturday, May
2 and 3, have been announced. Charles
Miller will do the part of John West
lock, formerly assigned to Julian Leslie;
Roy Veatch is to have the part of Old
Martin instead of Wilbur Hulin, and
Frances Stiles will impersonate Marcy
in the place of Thelma Stanton.
The play will appear in Guild hall
under the auspices of the Dramatic In-,
terpretation department.
It is probable that the play will go
to Portland under the Drama league,
in the near future.
Camels, Arabian Priests, Dance,
Side Shows, “O” Initiation, Eats,
to be K. K. K. Features Saturday
Two days more remain before the
big show, the greatest of its kind that
has ever been staged in the vicinity of
Eugene. The Kollege Kids’ Karnival
is all s t for the performance on Satur
day night, and by Friday evening the
actors will bo in town ready to meet
all reporters.
Remember the last time the circus
was in town? We were all there, and
quite a number of the freshmen crawled
in under the tent. Well, that is the
only feature that will be missing on
Saturday. The tents are going to bo
crawl-proof.
“The Streets of Cairo’’ is to be the
setting in the outdoor men’s gym, and
everything from camols to the Arabian
priests are to be present. Although
Sahara will be represented, thfvt is
but a small part of what is to bo seen.
Close by the desert tent there is to be
a collection of the most wonderful tal
ent that this country can produce in an
original offering. Those who have
seen the rehearsal claim that nothing is
overlooked in making it the most up
to-date, true-to-form satire that has
ever been staged in Eugene. You’ll
recognize it when you get into the
men’s outdoor gym on Saturday night.
The order of the “O” realized that
A dozen shows were not going to satis
fy the populace of this campus and
have made provisions for the after
show entertainment in the form of a
monstrous “jitney” dance in the in
door gymnasium.
But still there is more, an abundance
of food brought direct from the circus
environment, including the pink lemon
ade and pop-corn crisps and all the
other things that go towards making a
carnival a success.
You’re not going to be robbed, but
on the other hand, you are going to be
treated to one of the choicest programs
that the University has had in many a
day.
Then—THE FEATURE. There are
several well known athletes that have
never been inducted into the Order up
to this time. They are especially eager
to be with the merry throng that night
and as an admittance fee are to be ini
tiated. Now if you have never seen an
Order of the “O” initiation, you
should not miss this one. It will be a
wonder. Such men as Ed Durno, Nish
Chapman, Francis Jacobberger and a
whole mob of others are to show you
their accomplishments along other lines
than athleticSL Did) you eveT hear
Brandenburg singt
It’s all to be Saturday night. Again,
it is absolutely informal. The stiff
collars shall be made soft, so the moral
is, be in style.
BASEBALL HIS
Hendricks Hall Seoond in Line;
D. G’s Win From Kappas
By Score of 8-7
In a very close gamo played in the
women’s outdoor gym, Tuesday after
noon, at 5 o’clock, the Delta Gamma
indoor baseball team won from the
Kappa team by a score of 8 to 7.
This game closes the series of indoor
baseball contests. The season’s cham
pion is the Oregon club team which
holds first place by winning every
game it played. Hendricks Hall comes
second, this team having won two
games, Delta Gammas, third, with one
game, and the Kappas, fourth, losing
every game.
From some interesting statistics com
piled by Miss Gladys Gorman, the
coach, in which she kept track of the
number of times that the team as a
whole appeared for practice, the rea
son for defeats can easily bo attributed
to lack of combined practice. The
Oregon club, which held first place,
had girls out for practice to the
amount of 109 times, Hendricks Hall,
second, 91 times, Delta Gammas, third,
56 times, and Kappas, fourth, 48 times.
In the game played Tuesday evening,
there was no spectacular playing, al
tho there was some excitement in the
fourth inning when the score was a
tie. The batting of both teams was
not particularly good.
The line-up for the game follows:
Kappas: Mary Irving, catcher; Jean
nette Moss, pitcher; Alice Evans, first
base; Lois Barnett, second base; Emma
Garbade, third base; Phebe Gage, right
short; Mildred Apperson, left short;
Frances Tate, right field; Mary Evans,
left field. Delta Gamma: Era God
fre3r, catcher; Vivian Chandler, pitch
er; Dorothy Lowry, first base; Mil
dred Huntley, second base; Clem Cam
eron, third base; Helen Loughary,
right short; Marian Taylor, left short;
Pauline Coad, right field; Edna Gray,
left field.
SCHOOL TESTS NEARLY ENDED
The educational research work car
ried on under the direction of C. A.
Gregory, professor of education, is al
most completed. Results are coining in
rapidly. Both Jackson and Umatilla
counties have completed the work, all
schools in this county being tested. As
toria was the largest of the city schools
to be tested. John C. Almack, director
of the University extension division,
will conduct the educational tests at
Myrtle Point and North Bend next
week.

91SIINAHG0HNE
VICTORS 01 GRIT,
SAYS C. V. DYMENT
Western Men Credited With
Important Part In
Ending War
“TRAINING IS NO FAILURE”
91st And Huns Both Whipped,
But Huns Only Ones
Who Knew It
“Brave, true leaders and fighters
of the utmost sportmanship—these
were the products of the colleges of
the northwest who as a part of the
91st division helped turn the tide of
the war,’’ said Colin V. Dyrnent,
former lieutenant in the Red Cross, in
his talk on “Western Men in the
Argonne” to the students at the as
sembly Wednesday morning.
“It is these men of the colleges of
the Northwest who have proved that
college training is not a failure.
They fought with the utmost sports
manship. I never saw an officer do an
unsportsmanlike thing. And through it
all this college officer class has retained
its civilization.”
This was only a small part of the
tribute paid the men of the 91st divi
sion with which Lieutenant Dyrnent
was attached as a Red Cro^s searcher.
Intimate stories of the Argonne forest
battle and of the splendid work of
the men at that time, brought into
play his wonderful ability of remem
bering names, ranks and home ad
dresses of the men. He knew the story
of each man he was connected with
in any way.
Dorris Introduces Speaker
Lieutenant Ben Dorris, of the 01st
division who introduced the speaker
said of him; “If any man can tell it
authentically it is Colin Dyrnent.”
Dyrnent began his talk by saying,
“The man who should have made this
talk is tho man who introduced me. I
never feel that I have had experiences
to tell of. But I do feel this morning
that I have just gotten home and
audiences like these make me feel that
I have collected more trophies than I
feel able to handle.”
Ho corrected in the beginning of
his talk the wrong impression of the
people that the 91st went into action
in Belgium and that they trained in
England. They did neither one.
It was on tho morning of the 26th
of September that the memorable time
came to tho 91st, he said. The Ar
gonne country with its ravines, its
plateaus, and its woods reminded the
western men of the country they had
come from and made a strong appeal
to them. They do now and always
will hark back to the Argonne in their
memories, he added.
Describes Spirit of Men
He described an attack on ‘ ‘ Miller
Hill,” at 4 p. in., September 28, by the
third battalion of the 361st infantry
under the command of Oscar F. Miller,
of Los Angeles.
“He went ahead of those men right
through the machine gun fire and all
his story is typical of the 91st spirit
and particularly the officers’ spirit.
He went ahead swinging his cane as
he walked and calling out, ‘Up and at
them.’ Finally he was hit in the arm,
he stopped, rolled up his sleeve and saw
the blood running down his arm, but
kept up his talking to the men. By
that time he was over the second ridge
and the men were following him. .How
could they help it with such a man
leading? He was shot in the leg,
went down a minute and then was up
and staggering on. They got him a
third time and he couldn’t get up.
Some of the boys went back and
‘Lucky Jim’ Fortune, also of Los
Angeles, took command.
Huns Realized Defeat
“The 91st fell back that night and
the neyt night" but the funny thing
was that the 91st never knew when
they were whipped but kept on going.
It is my opinion that the 91st and
