yfj Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF 0RE60N, EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921. 88. W. S, CT GAMES HAVE MUCH SIIIFHCE TO COUCH BONIER Varsity Will Meet Team of Mentor’s Alma Mater Monday, Tuesday. OREGON QUINTET IN FIRST CLASS SHAPE Idaho Line-up Will Be Used; Cougars Have Been In Bad Luck So Far. When the Washington State College basketball quintet meets Coach Boh ler’s proteges here on Monday and Tues day nights, the two games will have an especial significance for Bolder, for Washington State College is the popu lar basketball mentor’s Alma Mater. George M. Bolder, varsity basketball coach, received his early training at the Washington institution where he was a star player on the Cougar basketball and baseball teams. Varsity in Good Shape. The varsity quintet is in first class shape physically and should put up one of the greatest games of' the season against the Cougars in their two game series. The tearii has been going through some light workout practice shifts since the Idaho game Monday and the rest from the effect of the hard games last week has put the squad back into tip top condition. Coach Bohler will probably use the same line-up in th.e Cougar games as that which he sent against the Univer sity of Idaho quintet Monday night, namely, Captain Eddie Durno and Marc Latham in the forward positions, “Hunk” Latham at center and “Bill” Reinhart and Francis Beller at guards. Washington Losers. Hhe Washington State team has been playing in hard luck so far this season in spite of the fact that they have a team of veterans. They lost both games to the Lemon-Yejlow quintet at Pull man earlier in the season and also lost two straight games to the Stanford five last week. Monday and Tuesday nights of this week they lost to the Sun Dod gers quintet in Seattle, although they managed to break even with the Sun Dodgers in a two game series early in the season. They are playing two games with the Oregon Aggies in Cor vallis this week end, and will come here tomorrow to rest up for the games here on Monday and Tuesday nights. Game Starts at 8. The probable line-up of the Cougar quintet will be Hockey and Friel at for wards, Cisna at center, and Mclvor and Loomis at guard. Mclvor does the con verting of the free throws for the North erners and seldom misses a chance, while Friel and Cisna are reported to be the scoring combination of the Cou gars. \ The usual seating arrangement will 'be followed out at the Armory for the games Monday and Tuesday nights, and the contests will begin promptly at 8 o’clock. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ PIANIST IN GILLS’ GLEE « ♦ CLUB CONCERT TONIGHT ♦ Miss Imogene Letcher. GIRLS' GLEE MJLY LOSE SPRING VACATION TRIP Jaunt Said To Hang On Suc cess of Concert Tonight. “A lack of response on the part of ithe students in attending the concert of the Girls’ Glee club at the Eugene the atre Saturday evening will mean that the girls may be forced to give up their trip to eastern Oregon during the spring va cation,”’ said Laura Rand, manager of the organization yesterday afternoon. The girls, Miss Rand said, ,are depend ing upon the proceeds of the perform ance tonight to help finance their spring tour. The seat sale, while fairly good, has not been what it should be, con sidering the quality of the concert, said Miss Rand. A large amount of advertising for the University is done by the trips taken by the different organizations, Miss Rand explained, and this year especially the publicity would be excellent as the Glee Club has developed a program which surpassed that of last year. The pro gram is well-balanced, containing songs never used before in the west. Solo ists who have studied under some of the best artists of the west, have been given prominent places in the concert. Miss Imogene Letcher, who will play several selections tonight, has been a student under Abbie Whiteside, of Port land. and is now studying under John Stark Evans. Miss Letcher will also act as accompanist for the Glee Club. The feature “When the Clock Strikes Twelve,” was conceived by Miss Letcher. This number is artistic and out of the ordinary and will make a decided hit, ac cording to Miss Rand. Miss Alberta Potter will be assisting artist for the evening, and will give a violin solo. Miss Potter’s work is well known on the campus, as she appeared at an assembly several weeks ago. The ticket sale will be continued all day at the Eugene theater. Training for Track and Field By W. L. HAYWARD. No. I. Sprints. It would be difficult to plan out a set rule in this event owing to the difference in physique of the different athletes who try for the sprints. The following will cover in a general way all those who wish to become sprinters: The important part is the start. Prac lice and experience have proved that the squat start is a great advantage over all other forms. This is done by digging the hole for the front foot about six in ches-back of the starting line. The dis tance to the hole for th» back foot is obtained by placing the front foot in the hole that was dug six inches back of the starting line, then placing the opposite knee on the ground even with the instep of the front foot and mark the spot for the toe. This will be about the correct distance for the back foot. The start about holes are important and should 1 e about four inches deep and dup in such shape that affords a good brace for a good shove-off. The position of the body while being set should be com fortable. The back should be parallel with the track; eyes fixed at a point twenty to thirty feet away; and the weight should be equally distributed on the hands and feet. Some sprinters vary in this. It depends greatly on the length of arms and legs. The performer must in a measure be able to tell for himself '.which of these forms or styles is best. The position of the body on the set should be a little forward: that is, on the word “set” from the starter, the sprint er rises up and forward in one motion. The arms work in opposite direction to the legs. Assuming that the sprinter starts with the left foot in the front hole, the first foot would take the first step forward, left arm swings forward and right arm back. A fault that is very common with beginners is that the body is- raised too straight out of the holes on the start. The proper form is to rise gradually, running into a wedge position when the runner should be in proper position at about the fifth or sixth stride. The arms should be swung in an oblique angle in front of the body and not across. The shoulder motion will help greatly in the lift at the end of each swing. Always try to run true to form. By all means never look back (Continued on Page 4.) I DEBATE WITH 0. (. C MARCH 1. SELECTED Strike Legislation Taken As Subject For Dual Contest. OREGON TEAM VICTOR IN CLASH LAST YEAR Girls Coached By Professor William Manford Michael. i - With the announcement of judges yes terday, all arrangements have been com pleted for the second women’s varsity debate to be held between the Univer sity of Oregon and O.

The frosh will wind up their basket ball season today with a game with Washington high of Portland. The game will be played at 3:15 in the men’s gym and every frosh is expected to be out to root for his team. A close game is expected as Washington is tied with Franklin for the city championship. Franklin played here for a two game se ries the first part of the season and brdke even with the frosh. It is expected that the regular fresh man line-up will be started. Alstock and Rockhny will play their forward po sitions. Either McMillan or Blackburn will be started at center. The guard positions will be held down by Chapman and Douglas.

GRIEG MUSIC TO BE HEARD Ilia Mrs. Thacher to Play Famous Composition March 1. A Grieg Concerto for piano played by Mrs. Jane Thacher, instructor of piano in the University school of music, ac companied by orchestra will be the cen tral number of the concert to be given by the University orchestra under the direction of Rex Underwood, in Villard hail on Tuesday, March 1, at 8:30 p. nju This will be the second one of the series of concerts given by the orchestra in which members of the faculty of the school of music are to appear as solo ists. Mrs. Thacher was a pupil of Desclieti zky, in Vienna. He is considered the greatest of all piano teachers, having taught more students who became fa mous than any other teacher. His most famous pupil was Paderewski. ■ The Concerto is typical of Edvard Greig’s compositions. It is exceedingly rhythmic and melodic and has plenty of harmonic changes. In it are found the rhythms of the folk songs that Greig has reproduced better than any other composer. Mrs. Thacher does not play it all ex actly as the music is printed. Some harts of it are changed and played as“ she heard Greig himself play it in Vien na The playing of the number requires about 25 or 30 minutes. Greig is the greatest of all Scandinav ian composers. He wrote typical Scan dinavian music reproducing the folk1 songs of the people the ballads and native melodies. The Concerto is made up of real music of the northland. The remainder of the program will be made up of selections by the orchestra. Two of the numbers will be “Pomp and Circumstance March” by Elgar and “Prelude” by Rachmaninoff. The or chestra has received much praise from those who heard the first one of the concerts, in which John Stark Evans was the soloist, and the concert in Cot tage Grove. The “Prelude” was played in the latter program and was received with great enthusiasm. The concert will begin after the Wash ington State basketball game. There is no admission charge. F. S. DUNN WILL LECTURE Pictures of Washington Will Accompany Talk on Monday Evening. A large number of little known por traits of Washington will be shown Mon day night by Professor F. S. Dunn un der the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Professor Dunn has about sixty dif ferent portraits, some well known and others not so familiar, which he has been collecting for several years. The entire group represents a twluable set of historical works as well as the basis of a very interesting lecture to any Amer ican student or student interested in the “Father” of this country. The lecture will commence promptly at 7:30 in Pro fessor Dunn’s room in Villard hall and probably continue for about one hour. The entire student body is invited. EVANS' FIRST RECITJIL TO BE 6IH SUM ,Mme. McGrew to Assist in Lenten Concerts. Music by Russian composers will made up the first of the Lenten organ recitals to be given at the Methodist church by John Stark Evans, professor of organ, beginning Sunday, February 27. Madame Rose McGrew, head of the voice department in the school of music, will be the soloist. The opening number on the program will be the “Largo” from Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony. This symphony was written by the Russian composer while in America and is made up of American themes .coming largely from the south. The symphony is supposed to be Dvor ak’s expression of his impressions of America. While many may not know Dvorak as a composer, his “Humor esque” is known and loved by almost everyone. , “Russian Romance” by Friml, Ihc second number, is light but real Rus- i sian music. Friml has become famous | as the composer of lighter music. The light opera “Firefly” and the musical farce “High Jinks” are two of his most i popular compositions. The third number, “Chant Hindu” by Rimsky-Korsakov, is a song from the opera “Sadko” and was arranged for organ by Mr. Evans. i Mr. Evans’ final selection is the Finale from Tchaikowsky’s “Pathetique” Sym phony. This symphony is played oftener and is more popular than any other written by the composer. “The Cross” by Ware, Madame Mc Grew’s solo, is an appropriate Lenten song. The recital, which will begin promptly at 5 and last 45 minutes is the first of a series of five such concerts. BILL STEERS CHOSEN . TO COUCH FRESHEN BISEBILL THIS TERR Former Varsity Star Accepts Offer To Handle 1924 Line. MENTORS FOR COMING SEASON ALL SELECTED New Field Being Constructed Near Hayward For Frosh Tossers. “Bill” Steers, of football fame, and a three-year letter man on the varsity baseball nine was selected as freshman baseball coach for this season at a meet ing of the committee from the Athletic Council last night. No contract has yet been drawn up with Steers, but a tele gram from him stated that he would ac cept the offer made by the council and would come as soon as they were ready for him. Steers played center field on the var sity baseball nine and was one of the heaviest hitters on the team in addi tion to playing stellar ball in the field. He understands the game thoroughly and should prove a valuable addition to the coaching staff. As soon as a diamond is completed for the frosh to practice on, the spring call will be made although this will probably be a week yet. The frosh will practice near Hayward field where their new diamond is now in the course of construction. steers Replaces Nelson. With this addition to the coaching; staff, members for Oregon athletics for the coming season are all selected. Steers will replace Dick Nelson, who coached the frosh nine last year. George M. Bolder, who is coaching the varsity basketball squad through one of its most successful seasons in sonic rears .will handle varsity baseball as soon as the basketball season ends. Bob* er has already started preliminary base mil practice and has called the first workout for next Monday. “Shy” Huntington, Oregon’s football nentor, who last year presided over the liainond, was unable to consider the po rtion this year due to the fact that lewly inaugurated plans for spring foot mil practice made such heavy demands jpon his time that he was forced to con centrate his energies upon the latter iport. Track Work Starts. Preliminary work for the track season icas been underway for some time. Ore gon this year draws the Pacific Coast conference meet, and the team which she will enter in this contest will be coached oy one of the best track men in the country—Bill Hayward. Bill has trained Drcgon track men for seventeen years #iul is prepared this season to turn out ? fighting squad. The new cinders track surrounding Hayward field is well under Way, and with the promising weather, be com pleted in ample time for the coming meet. Freshmen Mast Labor on Athletic Field, says “0” Edict Following the complaints that the freshmen on the wfhipus were a little reluctant about taking hold of the pick and shovel idea in getting Kincaid field into shape for the track < athletes and shooting off the bumps on the baseball diamond, a draft system was drawn up at the Order of the “O” meeting Thurs day afternoon to assure enough fresh men every day to do the allotted work. Hereafter, all first year men will read the Emerald for their names, which will appear at some date, when they will re port along with fourteen other male members of their class to the track and baseball managers, for one afternoon of labor. According to “Spike” Leslie, a com plete roster of the men has been secured from the registrar and they will be taken in alphabetical order from this list. Fif teen names will be published each day in the Emerald, and the men will report at the time specified in the notice. This plan will divide the work equally among the freshmen and will not work a hard chip on a few members of the class who would perform the duty faithfully. “Punishment will be meted out to all those who do not appear on the day specified,” said “Spike” Leslie, president of the Order of the “O”, last night. An»^ it is estimated that the “O” persuader may be used in a few cases where necessary. The freshman vigilance com mittee will work with the Order of the “O”, and will be responsible to the var sity letter men for getting the men out on time and keeping them on the job. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ THESE MEN REPORT MONDAY ♦. ♦ AT 4 P.
