CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY
TO TALK AT ASSEMBLY
Fred B. Smith to Talk on Place of Chris
tian Ethics In Present
Day Business.
J red B. Smith, vice president of the
H. W. Johns-Manville corporation and a
recognized leader among American in
dustrial executives, bearing the gospel
that a code of Christian ethics can and
must govern modern busines, will ad
dress the student body assembly Thurs
day morning on the subject, “The Uni
versity Man in Business.”
In his position as the vice president ol
a manufacturing concern that covers
North America with its factories and dis
tributes its numerous products through
out the world, Mr. Smith has formed the
opinion that has become a part of his
personal gospel, that Christianity and
business can amalgamate.
Propagating an ideal of full orbed
manhood, Mr. Smith for thirty years has
been persistently following a creed both
in business and private life for the mor
al, mental, physical and social up-lift of
his fellow man.
Believing that every family should own
their own home with the means to enjoy
comfort and play as well as the con
science to work, and insisting on the
truth that commerce can be Christianized
and the teachings of the Master
brought into industrial life. Thursday’s
speaker has a message that should hold
much of interest for every student on
the campus.
OREGON TRAINING HELPS
School of Education Produces Many Dis
trict Superintendents.
That two-thirds of the school superin
tendents of first-class districts of the
state have received all or part of their
professional training at the school of
education of the University of Oregon,
was learned from figures recently cora
piled. In addition to furnishing scien
tifically trained men for such a large
percentage of these executive positions,
the University school of education has
trained a large number of superintend
ents for the smaller cities and towns,
high school principals, high school and
junior high school teachers, specialists
for colleges and normal schools, experts
for defective and delinquent children,
and with the co-operation of other
schools of the University many teachers
of physical education and athletics, and
art, and supervisors of ,music.
Supporters of Both Sides To
!( Present Cases Today.
Four hundred men students on the
campus have signified their desire to do
away with the present graduate coach
system at the University, according to
the information given out last night by
circulators of a petition among the men.
This petition together with that which
was circulated by Carl Mautz among the
football men, in favor of the retention
of Huntington and that of the business
men of Eugene will be presented at the
meeting of the athletic council scheduled
to take place at 4 o’clock this afternoon
| in President Campbell’s office.
The petition signed by the students
follows: “We, the undersigned, believ
ing that the best interests of the Uni
versity demand whole hearted co-opera
tion between the athletic coaching staff
and the student body, and that this co
operation spirit is not being fostered un
der the present graduate system, wish
to go oi> record as opposed to the grad
uate coach system. Since the present
graduate system has not received the
support of the mef most interested in
athletics and since it has resulted in a
division of the student body, we earnest
ly petition that the athletic council of
the University of Oregon use every ef
fort to secure a coach who can bring
about a united Oregon.”
Professor H. C. Howe, chairman of the
athletic council, said last night that any
and all petitions which were presented
to the council would receive due consid
eration. It is the desire of the council,
according to Howe, to treat the matter
fairly and squarely and that student sen
timent is welcomed in the final decision
of the problem. It is understood that a
few members of the football team will
be called before the council to present
their views this afternoon.
COMPANY WILL Cl
'TALE OF 11 CITIES'
| Play Will be Heaviest to
Be Undertaken by
The Company
STORY ADAPTED TO
STAGE BY REDDIE
I Production Has Shown in
| New York, Washington,
Philadelphia
Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities,” dram
atized for presentation on the stage by
Fergu Reddie, will be given by members
of the Company in Guild theatre Feb
ruary 24 and 25, according to Mr. Red
die, who announced the cast last night.
The play as Mr. Reddie has written
it was given over the cast including New
York, Philadelphia, Washington and
Baltimore, having been played over a
hundred times in all. It has the power
and intensity of the popular war plays of
the past few seasons, such as “Three
Faces East” and others, and yet it gains
its strength from human emotions, from
moral issues of that bloody period in
France, from the almost unbelievable
horrors and cruelties of the day that
lend themselves to stronger feeling of
intensity than can be realized in the
ordinary play where the situations de
pend on plot alone.
It is without doubt the heaviest thing
that the Company has undertaken this
year. Mr. Reddie will take the part of
Sidney Carton, who as the hero is at
once one of the weakest and strongest
characters in the play. Few characters
in drama1 have more possibilities than
this figure created by Dickens, who has
made" the story strongly dramatic
through its entire length.
Dr! Manette, who goes crazy from con
finement, ..is another strong character
Who will be played by 5Torvell Thompson.
Mine. Defarge and La Vengeance, played
by Charlotte Banfield and Irene Ste
wart respectively, are other characters
of Dicken’s that that will play impor
tant part in the dramatization.
Members of the cast as they have been
announced are:
Peasant Girl, sister to Mine. De

Marquis St. Evremonde. .Claire Wallace
Mme. Defarge’s brother.

2000 Portlanders Liked Glee
Club Concert; Stunt Made Hit;
Men May Go to Los Angeles
More than 12000 persons heard the
Men’s Glee Club concert in the Portland
Municipal Auditorium last Friday night,
January 28. “It was the best glee club
performance I have ever heard,” de
clared ,T. Erwin Mutch, New York con
cert baritone and head musical instructor
at the Ellison-White musical conserva
tory in Portland. The concert was given
under the auspices of the Ellison-White
Concert Bureau, and the directors say
the seat sale was the heaviest in this
year’s concert season.
The audience was appreciative, to the
extent that the glee club had used all its
encores before the program was half
finished. Most of the numbers were
without accompaniment, which made it
the more remarkable that the harmony
was distinct throughout, said John Stark
Evans, director of the glee club. The
good enunciation also won prase. “The
boys sang better than they have at any
time this year,” Mr. Evans, declared.
Madame Rose McGrew accompanied
the glee club and sang several numbers
on the program. At the noon luncheon
at the University Club the boys sang a
number of songs between courses,
One of the most successful numbers
on the program was the “specialty,” a
stunt entitled “From Opera to Jazz.” It
consisted of piano work by George Hop
kins and George Stearns, several songs,
among them a tenor solo by Arthur
Johnson, and jazz produced by three
saxophones and a banjo.
“We consider that the glee club was
very successful in this concert” said
Joe Ingram, president of the club, “and
we are beginning to make big plans.
Tentative plana arc under consideration
now for a trip to Los Angeles under the
direction of the Ellison-White Concert
Itureau, or the Beheimer Circuit Theater
management, during spring vacation.
The program for the Portland concert

A
Mentor Is “Comer,” Declares
Harry Kingman, Student
Volunteer Worker.
IS SAID TO BE ABLE TO
HANDLE FOOTBALL MSN
“Clean Athlete” Says Vis
itor; “Most Popular Maar
on Berkeley Campus.” '
“ ‘Nibs’ Price is a 'comer,’ and I have
no doubt that he will in three years be
one of the biggest coaches in the coun*
try,” are the terms which are used by
hiprry Kingman, last year a member of
the coaching staff of the University of
California, to describe the ability of the
man who is being seriously considered by,
the athletic council for the position of
head coach at the University of Oregptj,
Kingman is visiting the colleges at the
country in the interests of the studont
volunteer movement, and he leaves fib*
gene today after a brief stop here.
Kingman spent a part of his tiihe here
discussing Trice with Professor H, J©.‘
Howe, chairman of the athletic <councH.
and graduate manager Marion McGiaitt.
He gives Price a great deal of credit for
the performance of the CalifbrnhL
eleven this season, and credits him With
producing a freshman team last year that
was the equal of the varsity. , .V
Trice, according to Kingman, waa
baekfield coach of the California varsity
this season, and with Andy Smith, do*
vised the plays used by that tegm
throughout the year. Price’s ability .{a
handling players and students is re
markable in Kingman’s estimation. He
says that because of this quality on^ths
part of Price, it generally fell to hisvlot
to instruct the California player in plays
which Smith and he together c<*peoct£<l,
as tka players seemed more willing to do
things for Price than they1 were for thf .
head coach. Kingman also described to
glowing terms, Price’s ability to imbibe
the players with the punch necessary jto -
win games. 4f‘
“Whenever any disagreements arise
among the players or students in re
gard to football, the situation is gener
ally turned over to Price,” said Kingman.
“The results are always satisfactory, and
I liave yet to hear a single Word spoken,
against him. He hasn’t a single enetqy
to my knowledge, and is without doubt
the most popular man ou the California
campus.” .«• r
“Price is also one of the cleanest •
coaches I know,” added Kingman, "He
lias a wonderful character, and the play
ers whom he has developed arc like him,
cleanout, straight - forward athlete*.”
Kingman has traveled over the counter
to quite an extent in the interests of
the student volunteer movement, (fnjl
being an athlete, has come to know'a
great many coaches in various part® of'
the country.
Kingman was at Cornell while Dobif
was in charge of the football team, and
while he admits the qualifications of tl\e
former Washington mentor, does not
hesitate to give Price preference over
him. “I do not know your coach Hunt
ingtob,” he said, “and so I would be h#
no position to judge as to the relative,
merits of your present coach and Price.
I do believe, however, that it would be
wiser for Oregon to take Price than
Dobie.” • ';
Kingman, in addition to having been a
member of the coaching staff of Call’*
fornia last year, has achieved some repu
tation as a baseball player. He played
professional ball in the east last year.
He prepared a signed statement for the
! Emerald regarding Price, which follows:
