Oregon Emerald THETA SIGMA PHI EDITION VOLUME 21 EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1920 NUMBER 78 O.A.C.TRAMPLfS OREGON 14 TO 8 Heavy Hitting Runs Up Rival Score; Manerud, R. Reinhart and Steers Star AGGIES SHOW PEP AND TEAM WORK Lemon, Yellow Victories Total Eight This Season; Six Defeats On List (By Doris Sikes.) Heavy hitting on the part of O. A. C. in the first part of the game caused the lemon yellow to go down to a defeat of 14 to 8 before the Aggies yesterday in the second of a two-game series, the first of which was won by Oregon, 6 to 3. Oregon’s list of vic tories so far this season total 8, and her defeats 6. One of the clever plays yesterday was made by J. Fox, “the funny little pian,” who made a brilliant stop of a liard-hit grounder by Keene. By a perfect throw he caught the orange and black man a step off first. Man ■erud, too. caused a sensation with his three hits out of three times up. The end of the first two innings left 0. A. C. with 4 points and Oregon but 1. During the first half of the third Gill walked and Seibert singled, scor ing Keene. Palfrey doubled, scoring both Gill and Seibert. Odell walked and Seibert again singled, this time scoring Palfrey. Manerud walked to first and made home when Rheinhart doubled, annexing the only point made for Oregon in the third. O. A. C. added five points before the seventh as against the three stacked up by Oregon. Bil Rlheinhart on first stole third and when Lind went to first made home, scoring one of the two points made by Oregon in the seventh. Lind, on first, ran to third, and when Leslie sacrificed, went home. The eighth ended without a run or hit for the Aggies. Manerud singled, as did Lind, allowing the former to go home. Steers flew out to left field and added another point to Oregon’s score when V. Jacobberger went out on first on a ball from second. Neither side scored in the first half of' the ninth, doing away with the second half.

THETA SIGMA PHI ELECTS Annamay Bronaugh Mary Lou Burton Pauline Coad Mrs. Amy Larramore Wanna McKinney Velma Rupert Dorris Sikes Eleanor Spal^ Nell Worwick SMALL BOYS OFFER SUGGESTIONS AT FETE (Heard from the sidelines.) “Ain’t you cold? You’re sittin’ on the North Pole,” greeted “Pee Wee Edwards,” as he sat on the “Oregon Atop the World” float Thursday night. Pee Wee only grinned. _ When the Alpha Phi float passed the judges stand with the “Sleeping Beau ty” very much asleep, from the bushes came this announcement, “Pinch her, she’s only playin’ possum.” After much giggling in the dark along the bank “Elaine, the Lily Maid of Ascelot”- got her share of remarks. “Tickle her,” said one small boy. “Robinson Crusoe” and his man Friday came paddling down the race. Friday’s shirt hung from the flag pole on the rear of the barge? Said a fu ture Oregon student, “Ain’t you cold, Friday? Take down your signal and put it On.” “How Pins Are Lost” depicted a picnic party. “Page Dean Fox,” said the voice from the dark. The prohibition question seems to have weighed heavily on the younger generation, too, for one keen-minded youngster answered the announcer with the question, “What per cent?” when he announced the Delta Gamma canoe as “The Spirit of the Nile.” Lyle McCroskey And Alys Sutton Star In Senior Play Friday Night . ALL CHARACTERS ARE CLEVERLY PORTRAYED Large Crowd Attends; Si Simola as Count Karloff Very Well Done; Others Also Very Good With a kiss to begin, a kiss to end, and battles of wit, intrigue and love in between, the “Man on the Box” was played to a packed house in the Eugene theatre Friday night. The plot of the young society man who masquerades as a groom for the young lady who guesses his real identity, both being in love, the Russian diplo mat who plays square until the end when he decides to become a great rascal and ruin the young lady’s fath er for her sake, is well worked out, and the characters clever and inter esting. Alys Sutton, as Miss Betty Annes ley, the girl with a sense of humor enough to pay the fine and engage the services of the masquerading groom, played her part with naturalness and intensity. Her submission to her erst while groom in the last act was espe cially well done, and brought the audi ence as close to tears as they could be with so much laughter. Hero and Villain Admired. Byl|l McCroskey, playing Lieutenant Robert Worburton, alias James Os borne, a groom, made a fascinating lover, and forgot himself in his plot throughout. His services as butler (Continued on page 8) CHI OMEGA WINS FIRST PRIZE IN CANOE FETE WITH BASKET FLOAT Girls Heads As The Centers Of The Flowers Sway In Breeze; Kappa Kappa Gamma Gets Second Honors; A. T. O. And Fiji Mentioned A huge May basket, orange color ed, an immense gauzy blue bow on the gracefully shaped handle, and from the body brilliant hued flowers rising on slender stems, floated down the stream, in the center of the j basket exquisite colored blossoms! swayed and nodded with each ripple] of the current, and in each blossom was the face of a girl. The rainbow toned reflection in the water danced and flickered. Such was the float of the Chi Omegas which won first prifce in the canoe fete Thursday night. “The Chinese Junk” was judged second best. This was the idea of the Kappa Kappa Gamma girls. It j represented a merchant ship of a ] century ago, filled with articles of trade, and a bird cage for luck which was always carried by Chinese sea men. Standing in the center was the goddess, the guiding spirit of th/e ship, singing a Chinese lullaby. Millage Bill Featured “The Vikings” won third place, put on by the Alpha Tau Omega lra ternity. A burning torch lighted the way. A forceful, triumphant figure stood in the prow of the boat, and the chields of the warriors were dis | played at the sides. Honorable mention was given to j i the Phi Gamma Delta canoe. ‘Not j ! Enough Room.” This showed the! i proverbial old lady who lived in a shoe. Children filled and overflowed ] from the immense footgear, and a 1 sign on the front of the boat read, ; ‘Th« University of Oregon if the Mil j lage Tax Doesn’t Pass.” ' © o °o Honorable mention was also given to the ship “Victory” by Sigma Nu. This was a huge green and yellow canoe with a correspondingly large figure of a man who appeared to be paddling. In the sides of the canoe were windows and in each posed an athletic hero, one each for football, baseball, track and basketball. “All of the displays were beauti ful,” said one of the judges; “it was almost impossible to decide on the best. But the three given first prizes, the May Basket, the Chinese Junk, and the Vikings, stood out so dis tinctly that we felt they deserved the places given.” “This is the most elaborate, orig inal, and beautiful display we ever had,” was the further comment, “and it seems to me we do not make enough of it. The displays are good enough to warrant our advertising the affair as a carnival and inviting the people from other cities to visit it, something as the Rose carnival In Portland is conducted.” Display Last Hour and a Half Hundreds of college and towns people and many guests from the out side watche dthe 24 graceful “fairy ships” from the banks as they slid silently down the race with the lights from the Anchorage and a huge spot light playing upon them. The dis play lasted from 9:00 until 10:30. The judges presiding were Mary Watson, professor of English; Helen Rhodes, professor of design; W. F. G. Thacher, professor of English; Dean Walter Morton, and Edgar E. DeCou, professor of mathematics. WELL-TIMED DIPS IN FOUNTAIN MAKE GOOD SNAPS AND WORKERS Hundred Loafers And Dudes Watered; Letter Men Show Yellow Streak; Work Goes Merrily Under Senior Police “Picture,” yelled Slim Crandall, labeled and acting “chief” of the senior cops, from where he presided over the formal ceremonies con ducted at the senior fountain. “Stan Anderson has been given special permission to show the visitors how to go in,” and then Stan went in, head first. Of course he did have a tie on. With a star on each shoulder, an other of the shining sky candles on his lapel, and a whistle tied around his neck (so he wouldn’t lose it), Slim gave the signal for the intro duction to Miss H2-G. “There must have been a hundred," sard one ‘of the senior cops on the introduction committee. He probably judged from the condition of the water in the fountain aftrwards. Fair Hearing Given The seniors were organized into squads, said Slim Crandall, and there was a judiciary committee of three. “We wore quite willing to listen to all the excuses anyone had to offer,” he continued, “and put the question of Guilty or Not Guilty ug to the judiciary committee. Of course every one voted,” he added, “and I can’t re call any excuses which were good enough to let any off. But we were absolutely fair and squard with our decisions, and gave everybody a fair trial.” Ties were taboo, and white collars such a grievous offense to the peeled eyes of the cops that their wearers were not even given a chance to take them off before lifted gently in the air, and as gently lowered again. (Let it be known that the latter ac tion gave the white collared one a view of the aquatic forms residing in the white cement square with the lily in the middle of it.) Photo Man Ducked “When do we eat?” asked a hard working stude. “Look for those who have ties on their necks,” said Slim. Harris. Ells' worth, standing behind Chief Cran dall, hastily slipped his choker off, but it was too late, and in he went. Even the objections of Sprague Car ter and Lyle Bain were overruled, much to the benefit of their future dampness. “Isn’t is about time to eat?" came in pleading tones from somewhere. “Picture,” yelled Slim again. Un suspecting A. C. Reed^ campus photo grapher, rushed up to catch the new est heroic feat of the cops. But sad was his fate. Divested of his coat and hat, also his watch, he too was introduced to Miss H2-0. And a senior obligingly used Mr. Reed’s camera and took his picture during the ceremony. Reverse Salute Admired Just then a tall, distinguished look ing man, carrying a cane, who is otherwise known as Cres Maddock. came up and announced with all the pride of a major domo, or a corporal, that “the boys are learning to salute fine.” Along came the 12 boys, the frosh “letter men,” who had all won their letters (on the seat of their pants). “Oh, Salute!” commanded Cres when he had carefully formed them into line by the library steps. With perfect unison 12 lemon-colored “O’s” were presented to the view of the admiring public. “That’s enough," whimpered a first year Babe who was being generously treated to a new coat (of paint) on his Roman olfactory appendage. “He doesn’t know that’s enough." cried Cres, "how could he know whether it was, enough.” And the brush was vigorously applied again. Every boy on the campus worked, or pretended to. The unusual spirit of activity even penetrated to a stack of lumber back of the Women's building, which shimmied undustri ously in the sun. But it must be admitted that the lawn of the new football field was too Inviting to be resisted, and sundry beauty mips were taken there. Band Enjoys Activity A blue haze drifted back and forth over the trenches, of course from the atmosphere. The boys were very busily engaged in filling up the trenches they so industriously dug last year. The mill race was pre pared for the afternoon races, the “Q” got its new spring dress, and several of the thriving weeds around the track field were deprived of their lusty lives. The workers were re galed from time to time by the band, who watched ,the IaTwring efforts of the others with fiendish delight. Paddles were carried instead of canes, during the morning, and sev eral seniors were seen to exercise their biceps by directing them in a “spanking” motion. No casualties were announced. Girl’s Politics Start to Buzz; Names Suggested For Offices; Dark Horses Expected. Women’s league elections, which oc cur in a week or ten clays, right on I the heels of student body elections, j has absorbed the interest of the wo | men of the campus to the extent that \ a long list of prospective officers has ! been suggested even at this early date ! Dark horses are expected to spring up at every turn as each day bringe the elections closer. The names of Jennie Maguire and Nancy Fields have been suggested for president of Women’s League, and Pauline Coad and Madge Calkins foi vice president. For secretary the names of Velma Rupert and Helen Carson have beer mentioned, while for treasurer, Mar garet Russell and P’rances Haber : sham are said to be considered. The race will be a close one, ac ! cording to members of the women’s ' league who have had charge of look | ing into the matter of prospective candidates and the keen Interest man ifested is an indication of everyone’s hearty ceoperatiop in getting the best officers in the field for next year, they said. W ill DEBATES WITH 0. A. C. THURSDAY Both Teams Victorious; Negative Gets 2-1 Decision; Affimative Is Given Unanimous Vote. Oregon women, last night if never j before, showed what Oregon women I ean do when they ambled off/with the decision in both ends of the dual against the O. A. C. women in the first girls’ debate ever held with the ! Aggie school. Three to nothing was the joyful news which Wanda Daggett and Ethel Wakefield brought ba^ck from Corvallis, and a victory of two to one was added by Elaine Cooper and Edna Sperling in the debate here. The question was “Resolved, That American Labor Should Organize and Support a Party of Its Own.” These girls are members of the fa mous Hendricks Hall team which has carried off the honors in the inter sorority debates on the campus for the past two years. On Tuesday, May 18, Jennie Maguire and Ethel Wake field will go to Seattle to meet the Washington team on the question “Resolved, That American Labor Should Support a Party of Its Own.” Elaine Cooper and Edna Sperling will debate against the Washington team on the same question here. These are Brown And Smith Tennis ! Victors of Week-End; Madeline Slotboom Lost GIRL’S GAME WELL MATCHED TO-DAY Mixed Doubles And Women's Singles Games Taken By Salem Racquet Wielders The University of Oregon tennis teams defented' the Willamette Uni versity teams In the tournament staged here yesterlay and today. Ore gon won both the men’s singles and the men’s doubles, but lost the wom en’s singles and mixed doubles Mor timer Brown, northwest singles cham pion, won his singles match over Mdo ney of Willamette by dever headwerk and smashing drives. The game between Brown of Ore gon and Noble Moody of Willamette, on Thursday, was evenly matched, Brown playing "all over’' Moody, and winning with a score of 6-3 and 7-6. The time for the game was a little over one hour. Sam Bass Warner, of the law department, refereed this match. Kenneth Smith won from Hugh Do ney with a score of 6-4, 6-2. Smith, who played a better game than Doney, was not up to his best, but neverthe less, had no trouble in winning the game Frank Jue, of Oregon, acted as referee. Players Evenly Matched. In the match between Madelin Slot boom and Mary Findley, the plays were more evenly matched. Miss Findlety won two games out of’a set of three, the score being 6‘-4, 6-8 and 10-8, the first* and last being tljose of Miss Findley. The time for this match was one and one-half hours. COSTUME PARADE IS SMALL BUT SELECT "Evening Clothes" Feature; Satan, Clowns, and CHorua Girls De* light Youngsters. Satan was present in body as well as spirit, shaking a wicked hoof and delighting the small boys who lined the sidewalks and kept pace with the costume parade Thursday night. Not content to wait for the Junior Prom may of the men insisted on making it a formal affair and “evening clothes’' were conspicuous. True, some of the wearers had been very liberal in their it terpretatlon of the term, and white pajamas were seen combined with formal black coats. A fat clown in purple and yellow ; was Quite frivolously Inclined, and a I bevy of chorus girls added piquancy, i not to ssy spice, to the occasion. I “Slim” Crandall, painfully conscious ^ of the shortness of his stature, wore a I white duck costume with an extreme ; !y tall green and yellow cap. The j band was “also present” grinding out I peppy music and everybody had a grand time and “went home a tired but happy set of children” as they | say about Sunday school picnics. | the first women’s varsity debates which have been held for three years. Speaking of the Washington debate, | Professor R. W. Prescott, debate coach, said, "If our student body | doesn’t literally fill Vlllar dhall Tues day night after all the girls have al ready done for Oregon against a tra ditional opponent and after the ex haustive work they have gone through for the last three months, then my faith in the loyalty and sportsmanship of the Oregon students will be severe ly shaken These girls need and de serve a full house and the girls who : go to Washington should be escorted | to the train.”
