With the close of th'> 1021
season close at hand it appears that Ore
gon will finish at the top of the North
west Conference percentage column and
well up in the first division of the Pa
cific Coast conference standings. Coach
George M. Bohler last night started that
with Oregon winning one more North
west conference game the title in the
conference will be assured the Lemon
Yellow quintet.
Washington State College tossers will
arrive here Monday and Tuesday for a
two game series and it appears almost
certain that Oregon will be able to take
these itwo games from the Cougars Fol
lowing these two games the season will
be officially closed on Friday and Satur
day of next week when Willamette Uni
versity will play here in their two game
return series with Oregon. The two
games with Washington State will have
an important bearing on the Northwest
Conference percentage as well as the Pa
cific Coast conference. The Willamette
games will be counted only in the North- |
west conference. !
One More Will Cinch Title.
The varsity basketeers have lost but
four games this year, and these were
hard fought contests proving easily that
the Lemon-Yellow quintet has been one
of the strongest teams on the Pacific
Coast this season. With no games so
fav lost in the Northwest conferenc?, the
team will be able to claim a Northwest
title after winning one more game in this
division. With a percentage standing of
1000, however, it now appears that Ore
gon will finish in the Northwest con
ference without having lost a game.
Washington Stale lost three games to
Idaho and two to the University of
Washington by large scores. The Cou
gars are playing tonight and tomorrow
night in Corvallis against (he Aggies, and

MAXINE ELLIOTT PLAYS
CHILD ROLE IN GUILD
Appears As Infant Daughter of Charles
Darney in Play Based on Dickens’
“Tale of Two Cities.’’
Maxine Elliott appeared in person in
(lie performance of Dickens’ “Tale of
Two Cities” given last night in Guild
theatre. No one suspected that it was
the star whom they saw.
the truth ii;, little, Maxine Elliott,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I). II. Elliott,
of Eugene, bears the same name as the
famous stage figure does. All the college
folk are familiar with her the little cully
headed girl seen playing so much around
the Campa Shoppe. She takes the part
of Lucile Darnay, infant child of Charles
Darnay, who is seen with the group of
Englishmen that flee from the French
capitol during the revolution.
\\ hether little Maxine will ever rival
her big sister of the stage is a question
that cannot be answered, but with her
appearance in last night’s and tonight’s
performance she is taking a step in that
direction.
Bohler Gives Battery Tips on
Getting Arms in Shape.
Initial varsity baseball practice is
called for Monday afternoon at four
o’clock by Coach Bohler. If the wea
ther holds good, the workouts next week
will be on Cemetery Ridge. In the event
of rain, however, or cold weather, the
workouts will be held in the outdoor
gym.
At four o’clock yesterday Coach Boh
ler met the battery candidates in his of
fice. The newly elected baseball mentor
gave the prospective hurlers and back
stops some tips on getting their arms
into shape. Balls were issued to most of
J:he men present in order that they might
take advantage of the splendid baseball
weather now available.
“Shy” Huntington who was baseball
coach last year, explained the equipment
situation, stating that shoes would only
be issued to those men who make the
squad, but that there are some old suits
available for those men who wish to
turn out, and have no uniforms of their
own. Candidates will have to -furnish
their own gloves, however.
PLAY CO ACHINGOFFERED
Summer School Will Include Dramatic
Directing Course Under Reddle.
• An interesting article on the work to
be done by Professor Fergus Iteddie,
head of the department of public speak
ing, in his classes during the coming
summer term was contained in the Uni
versity News Bulletin of February 21.
The special feature offered by the de
partment will lie a course in ithe coach
ing of plays, according to Earl Kilpatrick,
dean of the University summer school.
Every member of the class will be
given an opportunity to coach the other
members who for the time being will im
agine themselves in the place of high
school students working on a play, says
the Bulletin.
Training for Track and Field
W. L, (Bill) Hayward, veteran ath
letic trainer and track coach for the
University of Oregon, has prepared for
the Emerald a series of eleven articles
on training for the various track and
field events. The articles designed for
beginners in track work, are valuable
to all aspiring athletes who have not
yet had the opportunity to receive
first-hand coaching from Bill. They
contain not only instructions on how
to improve in the various events but
warnings of what not to do. The
Emerald today prints the introduction
to the series, in which Bill explains
his purpose. The series proper will
start with tomorrow’s issue and will be
continued daily until finished.—Editor.
BY WILLIAM L. HAYWARD.
These instructions are intended for
schools that have not the advantage of
a professional track coach, and the con
tents should be taken as such. All the
events have been carefully gone over and
every detail in forms of different events
explained as well as can be on paper.
They have been so arranged that any
boy or young man who makes a careful
study of the event in which he wishes to
excel can master it without the aid of a
coach. * M
No two boys are alike, and so my read
ers must use common sense in applying
these instructions as far as the amount
of work is concerned. The average boy
likes to be athletic. He wants to have
a strong, well developed body, and to
excel in some particular sport, whether
it be football, baseball ,or track. But on
account of the great interest in athletics
throughout this country and the publicity
which is given to all kinds of athletic
performances, there is always the dan
ger that young boys especially will have
a tendency to overdo things, to overtask
their strength.
Athletic training should be looked up
on as play and should be a pleasure to
.the performer. Generally the boy be
tween the ages of 14 and Ifi years is apt
to overdo himself and should be watched
very carefully. I have often seen boys
who had natural athletic ability stay on
the track all day and challenge everyone
who came out just for the sake of show
ing off. It is needless to say that such
a boy does not last long as an athlete.
His nervous system is torn down faster
than nature can build it up. My advice
is to make haste very slowly. Train up
gradually and you will accomplish what
athletics are intended for, namely, good
health.
PROBLEMS OF SOCIIL
WORK DISCUSSED IN
ISSEMDLY BY DEVINE
Standards of Living Should
Be Balanced, Says
Sociologist.
RIGHT TO LIVE BELONGS
TO ALL, STATES SPEAKER
Thinking People Obliged to
Help Those Handicapped,
He Says.
Social work, as [f, is interpreted in the
United States, in the role of a con
structive element in future conditions,
and not merely as a means of imme
diate relief, was discussed by Dr. Ed
ward T. Devine, associate editor of the
Survey, in his address at the regular stu
dent assembly in Villard hall, Thursday
morning.
“In this country social work deals
with all the different aspects of what we
call the standard of living,” said Dr.
Devine. “The standard of living is the
most dynamic force in the world, and all
social workers should have a clear con
ception of'it. It is raised from time to
itime because the people of the world
desire that it shall be raised. This work
of the protection and improvement of the
standard of living is left to the social
| worker,” he stated.
Dr. Devine then went on to outline
what he considered an ideal plan to
raise the standard of living. This was
to include a representative group of peo
ple in every community who would un
dertake to say what the minimum and
maximum standards of living in that com
munity should he. and then make condi
tions such that this standard could be
observed. This plan, however, was to
include spiritual as well .as material
things, and should he made reasonable,
neither too high nor too low.
“Everyone should have the right to
life, to its full.” he declared. “In order
to make this possible the social demands
should be determined, and then consid
eration given to whether or not the eco
•nomie situation is such as to meet it.
We must be past the point of asking
‘what will we do.’ but rather ‘how will
we do it.’ Social work should fulfill this
demand.”
He further asked that social work be
based upon education and enlightenment,
and should do away with individual prej
udices. In this connection he compared
•the type of social work in America with
that of European countries. In England
there is the old “poor law.” In France,
the only sort of social work carried on
is church charity, and this is considered
only as a religious obligation. The giver
likes to feel a glow of satisfaction over
his generosity. In Germany nil social
work is left to the authority of the state,
there is no individual initiative in that
direction. However, in America there
is the ever present question of whethc
the social worker is really strengthening
or weakening the one *to whom he is giv
ing assistance. It looks at the matter
from the viewpoint of the one who is to
receive the benefit, and not from that of
the one who gives it. Thu* American
social service work is characterized by a
looking into the future to see what the
result of present acts may be.
“.Social work in the true sense of the
term has come to be looked upon as an
obligation on the part of all thinking peo
ple to help those who are handicapped in
life’s struggle for existence,” he con
cluded.
LANDSBURY WILL TALK
Dean to Attend Music Supervisors’ Na
tional Convention.
Dean John J. Landsbury, of the Uni
versity school of music will make an ad
dress before the Music Supervisors’ Na
tional Convention which meets in St.
Joseph, Missouri, between April 4 and
8. He will start east sometime during
the spring vacation.
While away, a tour of inspection of
the schools of music in the fiddlewest
will be made, he said, with a view to in
corporating their good points in the new
the spools of music in the middlewest
into which they have fallen. The Uni
versities of Kansas. Missouri, Iowa. Illi
nois. and others will be visited.
Dr. Landsbury was recently appointed
chairman of the advisory committee of
the Music Supervisors’ National Conven
tion which is said to be the largest and
livest national musical organization in
existence.
CARLISLE TO LEAVE
OREGON 10 DO ARMY
WOIJ RESEARCH
Record Made Here With Sur
vey of State’s Mental
Delinquents.
ORDER IS RECEIVED
TO JOIN 8TH DIVISION
Spirit of Co-operation Deeply
Appreciated, Says
Doctor.
Dr. Chester L. Carlisle, of the United
States Public Health Service, who lias
been associated with the University for
the past year ns director of the Oregon
State Survey, has received orders to re
port March 1 for duty as neuro-psychia
trist, 8th Division, with headquarters in
Chicago. Dr. Carlisle is now arranging
the final details of the survey and is
sending out a letter, extracts from which
follow: “To 5000 citizens in Oregon,
who by their voluntary aid, enabled Ore
gon to initiate the first co-operative
citizen movement in mental hygiene in
the history of the world.
Extracts from the letter follow: “The
Oregon state survey of mental defect, de
linquency and dependency, conducted at
the request of the legislature and
through the extension division of the
University of Oregon under the direction
of the United States Public Health Ser
vice, has been successfully completed
with the voluntary assistance of hun
dreds of loyal Oregonians, without the
expenditure of any special state appro
priations. Oregon has blazed a new trail
for co-operative community betterment
in the fields of mental, physical and so
cial hygiene .
65,000 Are Listed.
‘‘The survey lias revived over Gy.OOO
socially inadequate individuals in Ore
gon. Of these, 29,555 were completely
or partially dependents, and 30,141 were
delinquents. Excluding two-thirds of
each type as minor cases, there remain
about 20,000 of whom approximately 10
per cent are mental defectives. Total
known insane and mental defectives
number 7,680.
The welfare of the child of today is
the welfare of the race of tomorrow.
Handicaps to child health, growth, edu
cation and chance for adequate develop
ment are handicaps to national health,
growth and development.
“The report of the survey, soon to be
published by the University, demon
strates the fundamental causes of fail
ure, unhappiness, delinquency and de
pendency in our citizen life.”
In speaking of his residence on the
Oregon campus Dr. Carlisle said: “It
is with a feeling of deep regret that I
am severing my connection with the. Uni
versity.”
“The citizens of Oregon, the faculty
of the University and the students have
been wonderfully kind. I would like to
be able to say just how much I and ray
family appreciate their hospitality and
particularly their co-operation with the
plans which the University and the
United States Public Health Service were
trying to work out," continued Dr. Carl
isle.
Survey Attracts Interest.
“Just the other day a friend sent mo
a two' column clipping relating to the
Oregon state survey, which had appear
ed in a Connecticut paper, that illus
trated the nation wide attention the Ore
gon survey is receiving. The work takes
in the whole domain of social work,
community betterment and the relief of
the handicapped individuals in Oregon."
“The state survey now accomplished,
through the social interests of forward
looking Oregonians, may seem a rather
commonplace incident in university life;
but it really marks a new era in social
work and social investigation,” said Dr.
Carlisle. *
“I am not really going to say good
bye to Oregon,” concluded Dr. Carlisle,
“for I hope to come back for a visit and
see this wonderful country again, but in
going away just now I do want to say
how much I thank you all for your hos
pitality and friendship. If at any time,”
he continued, “I can be of service to any
of you, or to the University, you may
feel very sure that I will be only too
glad to help.”

♦ SOLOIST IN GIRLS GLEE ♦
♦ CLUB CONCERT SATURDAY ♦
Miss Genevieve Clancy.
One Day Left Students To
Support Activity.
Lnura Rand, business manager of the
Girls’ Glee Club, reports that the ticket
sale on the campus for Saturday’s con
cert has been far from satisfactory so
far. The people of Eugene have dome
forward in a commendable fashion and
are buying their share of tickets. The
students still have a day in which to re
deem. themselves and stand behind this
activity of theirs.
This concert will be far different from
any given in previous years, especially!
the stunt, which it is hinted, will be both
beautiful and entertaining.
Genevieve Clancy and Laura Rand,
soloists for the concert, are both espe
cially trained singers who have had
training from some of the best teachers
on»the coast.
In the hope of bringing the seat sale
up to par another five rows of re
served seats may be added to those al
ready on %nle. .Seat prices are $1.00,
75s and 50c.
OLD “HAUNTED HOUSE”
IS BEING DEMOLISHED
Framework of Gloomy Structure Near
Cemetery Will Be Used
for Bleachers.
Not every university can claim a
haunted house” among its campus
curiosities, but Oregon had such an
abode of spectfes until recently. At
present only the skeleton of the storied
mausipui stands ghost-like east of Hen
dricks hall a few feet distant from the
cemetery, and soon this phantom-like
skeleton will go the way of things
earthly.
For Oregon’s haunted house is being
demolished to make room for the ex
panding University. The walls behind
which ghosts are supposed to have held
many a spiritual mix are being torn
apart and will be used in the construction
of new bleachers on Hayward field. The
windows, out of which at times shone
special lights near the eerie hour of
twelve, are now merely gaping holes in
the skeleton pattern. The phantoms of
the haunted house will soon be forced to
find a new playground among the tomb
stones on cemetery ridge.
Warkingmen now engaged in razing
the old structure are skeptical about
denizens of the unseen world having
once resided in the house. One of the
men said that weird noises and spectral
lights in the house were usuully accom
panied by a smell of burning feathers,
and told how the nocturnal visitors, very
unghostlike, frequently broke the lock.
Evidence of a fire in an old heater show
ed that the visitors were unused to the
damp, dark night air of cemetery ridge,
insinuated the carpenter.
But it is not for a man to understand
the ways of ghosts.
FRATERNITY MEMBERS FEW.
About 27 per Pont of the students of
the University of Texas have fraternity
affiliation. This percentage is some
what smaller than in most of the eastern
universities.

(DICES RIF ID If
Teams Selected by Houses for
Contests In Spring
Term.
DIFFICULTY IS FOUND
IN OBTAINING COACHES
Faculty Members and! Last
Year’s Varsity Speakers
Are Assisting.
Work on the inter-sorority debates,
which will be held on the campus next
term, is progressing rapidly in spite of
the fact that difficulties are encountered
by those interested. One of the great
est of these is the fact that it has been
very hard to find coaches for the teams.
However, a number of the houses have
their coaches and teams selected.
Miss Julia Burgess of the English de
partment is the Chi Omega coach. Helen
Strauser, Mario* Hay, Beatrice Snell
and Mildred Lnuderdale have been se
lected as the Chi Omega team; Helen
Strauser and Marion Bay on the negative
and Beatrice Snell and Mildred Lauder
dale on the affirmative.
The Delta Delta Delta team will be
composed of Lacy Leonard, Gertrude
Golding, Iantlie Smith and Betty Pride.
The sides to be taken by these girls have
not yet been decided. Remey Cox will
be the Tri Dolt coach.
Roselia Keber and Vera Houston on
the negative, and Marie Ridings and
Josephine Croxall on the affirmative*
will constitute the Alpha Delta Pi team.
This team will be coached by Professor
Walter C. Barnes of the history depart
ment.
Vivian Kellems, member of Zeta Kap
pa Pal, will coach the Alpha Phi team
composed of Helen Carson, Marion Gil
lis. May Stockton and Glyde Schubel.
The Gamma Phi team will consist of
Frances McGill, Le Laine West, Franck
MacMillan and Georgia Shipley, and will
be oonehed by Elmer Pendell.
Delta Gamma, Zeta Rho, Kappa Kap
pa Gamma and Sigma Delta Phi have not
yet been able to find coaches, but have
their teams selected: Mabel Green,
Helen Hooper, Ina McCoy and Thelma
Lyons have been selected to represent
the Delta Gammas; the Zeta Rho team
will consist of Edna Largcnt, Elsie Hil
debrand, Beatrice Helbrook and Ruby
Baugh; Nancy Wilson, Elizabeth Trow
bridge, Marjorie Alexander and Gail Ac
ton will constitute the Kappa team; and
the Sigma Delta Phi team will be com
posed of Beatrice Hensley, Hilda Hens
ley. Alice Curtis and Alice Hamm.
Hendricks hall, Oregon club and Pi
Beta Phi report that neither their teams
nor coaches have yet been selected. The
Oregon club reports that ten girls are
out for the debating team.
Delta Zeta has been added to the list
of organizations which are to compete in
the inter-sorority debates.
Ruth Griffin has been appointed chair
man of the committee to select judges for
these debates.
The question is that previously an
nounced, but has been restated by Dr.
-Gilbert. It now reads: “Resolved; That
the exemption from Panama Canal tolls
originally extended to American coast
wise vessels should be restored.”
AMHERST MAN TO SPEAK
Professor Roy Gettell Will Give Ad*
dress Here on Political Subject.
Dr. Roy Gettell, professor of political
science at Amherst College and a well
known author on that subject, will lec
ture in the Y. M. C. A. hut at 8 o’clock
next Monday evening under the auspices
of the Forum. Professor Gettell’s sub
ject will be “America as a World Pow
er.”
This address will be the second de
livered here under the direction of the
Society of International Education; the
first was that given last month by Dr.
Victor Andres Belaunde of the Univer
sity of Ran Marcos at Lima, Peru. Dr.
R. C. Clark, professor of history, knew
Dr. Gettell while he was in the national
capital, during the war, doing historical
research work for the government. Dr.
Gettell was at that time historian for the
United States shipping board. Dr. Clark
speaks highly of the visitor’s ability. The
address here is to be made during a na
tionwide tour. Dr. Gettell is now in
California.
