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.

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

FROSH WIND UP SEASON
Babe Quintet Plays Washington This
> Afternoon.
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. With the team showing
excellent teamwork in their practice,
they should have the edge over the prep
schoolers. The Washington team comes
here with a- good record, however, and
will mnke the babes work for every
point they get.

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.
