practice games must be played before a
girl is eligible for either house or clasd
teams. Miss Howells emphasizes the

practices next week.
“I want the heads of the different
houses to urge their girls to come out
and organize their tennis,” she said yes

Thus far, more sophomore girls have
turned out than from any other one
class, Miss Howells says, and since that
class won the championship cup last
year they are going to fight hard to hold
it for another year. A trophy will also
be secured which will be awarded to the
house winning the highest percentage of
games in the coming contests.
TRAFFIC MANAGING
COURSE IS OFFERED
Professor Denfield Has 40 Studants In
Portland,; Work Praised by Db
Railroad Man. -*
A new course which is creating much
favorable comment throughout the traf
fic world in Portland is the one ou traf
fic management given by Professor - G.
A. Denfeld of the University to a class
of forty students in Portland.
The course corresponds very closely
to the one which Mr. Denfeld gives at
the University under the head of traffic
problems.
Commenting on the course as offered
by Professor Denfeld W. S. Swinner,
traffic manager of the Southern Pacific
says, “This course offered by the Uni
versity to Portlanders will fill one of the
long felt needs of the railroads of this
district; the demand for traffic experts
such as this course should turn out.”
The course is given under six general
heads; traffic geography, rate zones and
construction points, principles and ap
plications of traffics, special freight
services, railway departments, and traf
fic departments.

' FARCE ‘NIGHTIE NIGHT*
ROLLING IN COMED'S
[ Play Coming to Eugene Theatre Tonighl
Hailed Favorably by
Critics.
Perhaps nothing, other, of course
than a personal audience, could give ti
more intimate ifisight into the true wortli
and bright possibilities of “Nightif
Night,” the finical farce which is sche'
doled to make its bow to Eugene theatei
patrons tonight, than the following criti
cism which appeared in the New York
Globe from the pen of Dr. Frank Crane,
whose numerous articles are highly
sought for by leading periodicals the na
tion-over.
Ffr. Crane says of it:
“After all, the big job for each of us
is to make the world a bit pleasanter.
“Somebody said there are two great
heaps; if he could take a little from the
heap of misery and add a little to the
heap of happiness, on his one-way trip
from the cradle to the grave, he would
not have passed this way in vain.
“A good laugh is its own excuse, as
good wine needs no bush, and youth and
love^ do not need either to he advertised
or explained.
“I went to a show the other evening.
The play was called ‘Nightie Night.’ I
never found out why, but that is no mat
ter. It was funny. I laughed. I felt
good when it was over. I did not quarrel
with my wife on my way home, and when
I got home I did not kick the dog, nor
wake up the children to spank them.
Hence I consider that the authors of the
play and the actors have helped along
toward making the world a decenter
place to live in.
“We are supposed to need a lot of
things in this vale of tears; as, for in
stance, money and love, meat and beer,
freedom, religion, single tax, taking
down a peg, haircuts and new hats for
man is an omnivorous wanter.
“But the thing we perhaps need as
much as anything else is a good laugh.
“For it sure doeth good like' a medi
cine. It dissipates the heady vapors of
despair. It promotes the deoppilation.of
the spleen. It jiggles up the liver, stim
ulates digestion, promotes the circulation
and obviates the necessity of murder in
the difficult task of getting along with
some people we know.
“So if you know a ‘good one,’ for
goodness’ sake tell it to me.
“And all you fun-makers; you, too,
have contributed to life,; you Charlie
Chaplins and Raymond Hitchcocks and
Jim Bartons and Billy Yans and A1
Jolsons.
“For what would happen if we had
none but such as the Maxim Gor
kys, the Henrick Ibsens, the Snyder
manns, Dreisers, Leonard Merricks and
Upton Sinclairs? Why, we should all go
out into the back yard and gnash teeth
and glower and spit and eat worms until
no boy Would ever again go fishing.
“Oh, yes, of course there are serious
problems, and all too many cues to weep
and pray, but somehow when we think
of A. Lincoln putting his feet upon his
desk and telling a funny story, or when
the bishop whispers to us his latest and
chortles, well, the whole universe seems
more human, and the burden of existence
eased.

and industrial concerns in the east.
Several well known railroad men have
announced their unqualified support for
the course. Some of them are:
H. E. Lounsberry, general freight agent
of the Union Pacific in Portland; J. P.
O’Brien, vice president and manager of
the same railroad; H. A. Henshaw, gen
eral freight agent of the Southern Paci
fic, as well as many others who have ex
pressed themselves as favoring the
movement to develop more traffic ex
perts.

The old saying that you go where your friends do
applies in many phases of life. That is Mkely the rea

conform to certain college traditions.
Likewise it is one of the reasons you go to the
