HOW ABOUT BASEBALL?
Is the athletic council hibernating after completing their
recent deliberations over the football coaching situation? Or
hive they failed to realize that snob weather as We are now
enjoying will not last forever and that soon Oregon must be
starting baseball practice!
0, A. C. announced last week that the first call for dia
mond aspirants was to have been sounded yesterday, rain or
shim?. Washington, in the midst of basketball and crew prac
tice* has had a few diamond aspirants out warming up. Oal
ilbmia and Stanford have had baseball men out for some time.
At Oregon the baseballs are still hidden away.
The athletic council held up the completion, of Oregon’s
football schedule for next fall. Now it seems that the same
body will bold up plans for the coming baseball season. With
other schools starting already, there is no one at tlve helm to
even plan ahead for the coming season. So far as is known,
the athletic council lias not yet named a baseball coach.
Although it is possible that the man who would be named
by the council to take charge of the diamond aspirants would
he unable to take over that job now, he could at least name
sorneon^ to have charge of the preliminary work. He could
be looking ahead and laying out his practice program. He
should not. be compelled to take over his duties on short
notice.,fo i(
It seems the athletic council discussed a baseball coach
at its first meeting and then promptly forgot the subject. Lot’s
see some action!
We’ve one of the best basketball teams in history. We’vo
a veal Oregon spirit behind that team. We have a good
chance at the coast championship. By defeating California
this week-end in both games, wc can threaten the present
leader’s hold on the top rung. Let’s win both games

ALAS, TERPSICHORE!
To the Editor:
Shades of dear, dizzy, departed Ter
psichore ! 1 mean that fellow who, at
ais earlier date, nicked his shins and
stWbbed his toes ’mong the verdant
"ifcair* of tall grass, in the bosky dells of
1'hilopoppolls mount, overlooking the
Hellespont, while trying to execute the
latest Diana dip or Minerva shuffle, lfe
tauat have been a funny goof with an
artistic sole and good arch supports, for
he seems to have put in most of Ids time
at the occupation of knee flinging and
body Undulation. Somehow that fellow
has always been a puzzle to me. One
thing certain, if he is in any wuy re
lated to the modern flyweight, outch-as
chtch-can, male Motional Expressionist
tfho lisps, wears spats, and bus fuzzy
hair if so, then old Terp is a nut for
certain.
Dancing out there on the cold slabs of
mountain rock, with a forty-mile zephyr
cooling his torrid brow and whistling
some sort of two four time through the
weeds, with a few sloo-footed and be
wbiukered gouts stamping time. Man!
he simply must have had one heck of a
wild time! Evidently there were no wo
men to share his wildness, which makes
me think he was either simple minded,
dlzxy, or plain nuts. Take your choice
of expressions, according to your mild
ness of nature. But can you imagine any
sane man flinging a wicked wishbone for
the fun of it—by himself?
Shades —I repeat — shades of dea$,
dfctty, departed Terpsichore! Gone to
rest now; but bis spirit still auimates a
round and motley number of prize pecans
who possess the ‘urge’ to express ar
tistic emotions in the plastic way. And
occasionally we pay good money to see
them do it—and the most we get for
One doubloons is several plain examples
bow to look very foolish.
"However we persous who occasionally
do the conventional dance, in which two
people, one floor, and some noise are
the only requisites, believe in one feature
of V eruou Castle Terpsichore's art —
and that is to allow the ball and socket
joints free play. Why, the day the
Father of the Struggle failed to kick
his knee against liis jaw in the famous
feature, the “Galloping Goat’s Balllvnnt"
be simply laid down and expired. Life
held nothing more for him. Kancing is
to express emotion isn't it ? Well, if you
put padlocks on all your joints—'West
Point Style’—how are you going to ex
press? With your soles'? .My goodness,
how foolish.’ Who ever heard of ex
pressing emotions with the soles-—out
side of the vigorous kick, which really
isn’t art anyway.
No! A thousand times no! Spare not
the joints. We must he true to art —
and express freely. &
And did I hear someone say couples
should be ten inches apart? Oi ge look!
The Co-op had better start ordering a
carload of grappling irons if we adopt
this, for, people standing ten inches
from each other will certainly need some
such eoupling. If people are going to
danes they must make motions, ami to
make motions they must, co-operate, as
similate, so to speak, not stand off and
give each other the ‘West Point’ stare.
When you eat vermicelli soup or
chipped beef with country gravy do you
set ten inches from the table? You bet
your sweet life you don’t- not if you
want to get something to eat. You
crowd close, very close. Well—same
idea in dancing.

SOCCER TEAM TO PLAY
EUGENE AGGREGATION
Neal Ford, Former Oregon Star, to
Coach City Team for Exhibi
tion Game in March.
Nenl Ford, who was at one time cap
tain of the University of Oregon soccer
team, and subsequently outside left wing
on both the Stanford and O. A. C. soc
cer teams, has agreed to organize and
captain a city of Eugene team which will
play against the University in an exhibi
tion game about the middle of March. Al
though no definite time for the game has
ns yet been decided upon, Dean'Dyment,
coach of tiie Oregon team, says that it
will probably take place on Hayward
field on a Saturday afternoon sometime
! before baseball gets well under way.
The object in playing this exhibition
game is to further educate the students
in the advantages and possibilities of
soccer as a sport, says Dean Dyment.
The University team which will meet the
city aggregation will be approximately
the same as the one which played against
O. A. 0. in two tie games last fall. It
has not been decided who will take the
places filled by Patterson and Koerber.
fullbacks, who are not in school this
term. In the absence of Koerber .cap
tain-manager of the tenm, Morgan Staton
has been elected to net as captain.
Ford’s team will be made up of for
mer Oregon and O. A. C. soccer players,
and Oregon men who were not on soccer
because of their participation in inter
collegiate football. Ford’s brother, Hugh
Ford, who also played on the Stanford
| and O. A. 0. teams, will be one of the
players.

AUTHOR SELLS POEM
TO TWO MAGAZINES
Publications Seek “Season Sketches;’’
Maple Dell Moofe Now
In Quandary.’
All the people in the short story
classes know about Myra Kelly, who
wrote up the children in her Yiddish
| school, and sent the tale to two maga
zines at once. Both accepted, and Miss
Kelly was in great straits. Her lawyer
advised her to sit doWn and explain to
! one of them how she got into such a box
and offer to write another story for
their magazine.
But we’re our own little, Myra Kelley
on the campus.
Maple Dell Moore wrote “Season
Sketches’’ and submitted the poem simul
I taneously to two magazines? Oh not
two. She sent it to four.
The enormity of her offense became
clelfr when an early mail brought per
sonal word from Number 1 that they
published no poetry, but otherwise were
much in favor of her poem, and more
personal word from Number 2 in the
form of an offer for the poem and in
quiries about the author. A long month
passed and Miss Moore gradually got
relief. The other two magazines had
evidently not cared for her poem. But
I'o, Thursday’s mail brought a terse
message from Number 8. It was very
terse, consisting of a check only.
And if you now see a girl with a
worried look haunting the post office in
Johnson hall, you will know it is Maple
Dell Moore praying that Number 4 has
definitely refused.
