FOUR LETTER MEN
TO BE NUCLEUS OF
NEXT YEAR'S FIVE
Ed. Dumo and Nish Chapman
Ineligible for Another
Season’s Work
ALL STAR TEAM MAY
INCLUDE OREGON MAN
Second Stringers and Frosh
Supply Good Material
For New Squad
(By Floyd Maxwell.)
Four letter men will form the nucleus
around which George M. Bolder, Univer
sity of Oregon basketball mentor, will
have to build his team for next season
from all the present indications, for
two of the six men who made their let
ters during the season just ended will not
be eligible for another varsity basketball
year. These two men are Captain “Ed
die” Durno, and “Nish” Chapman, who
have won their third letter for their
work with the Lemon-Yellow quintets,
during the past three years.
The remaining four, Francis Beller,
Marc Latham, “Hunk” Latham and
“Bill” Reinhart, will battle it out with
this year’s freshman squad and the
scrubs for the varsity berths, and this
will not prove an easy battle by any
means. Oregon’s frosh quintet, although
playing in hard luck in winning very
many of their contests this season,
nevertheless was made up of men who
will make strong bids for varsity berths
in another season.
Durno Will Be Missed.
For the forward position another sea
son will be Marc Latham, letter man of
two seasons, Yeatch and Base who play
ed with the second string squad this sea
son, and Rockliey, Alstock and Wilsey
of the babe quintet. Durno’s absence
will be felt very keenly. His place will
be one of the hardest to fill on the var
sity another season, but there will be
no dearth of good men out for the po
sitions if these men return to school
next fall.
Battling it out with “Hunk” Latham
for his pivot position, will be both
Blackman and McMillan of the frosh
• five and Zimmerman who played with
the second stringers this winter.
“Hunk’s” work at center during the
past season, which was his first with
the varsity regulars, will make it a
hard row to hoe for any of the other as
pirants. but both McMillan and Black
man played consistent games for tlie
first year men this season and Zimmer
man showed clever work in all his play
ing against Latham.

LEMON PUNCH WANTS
DEFINITION OF A GOOF
Cash Prizes and Punch Copies Offered
To Wise Heads Who Can Im
prove on Webster.
Its easy enough to draw a picture
about a goof or to tell a joke about one
but when it comes to telling' just what
a goof is ah, that’s another question.
I his question has been stumping and
stunning the Lemon Punch for the past
few weeks—what is a goof? The L. P.
has given it up, and in final desperation
has decided to make this offer.
AVithout any intention of running in
opposition to the Y. M. C. A. employ
ment bureau the Lemon Punch has de
cided to offer two prizes—in cash to the
two wise heads who offer the best
definition of a goof. First prize will bo
$12.50, second prize $1.00. In addition
there will be four honorable mentions to
the “almost as wise” who submit the
next four best definitions in addition to
free'copies of the “Punch” for the rest
of the year. All definitions must be in
not later than March 18, and special
space will be given to the six best
definitions in the next issue. All con
tributions should be dropped in the Punch
boxes or given to some staff member.
So go to it studes, rattle the brains
and see what you can do at shaming
AA’ebster! The English language is the
limit.

Characters In “Arizona” Are
Wiell Portrayed
Soldiers, an army fort, pretty girls,
and even a love-siek Mexican with a
guitar figured prominently in the stu
dent body play, “Arizona,” which was
produced in the JSugene theater, Satur
day night
The plot of the melodrama centers
about a misunderstanding which finally
results in trouble for a youDg army of
ficer, and very nearly results in „his dis
grace and the loss of the girl he loves
The part of the hero was very success
fully executed by Lyle Bartholomew. He
made interesting love to the girl, Bonita,
which part was taken by Star Norton.
Much of the time in the first two scenes
was taken up with love scenes between
these two central figures in the plot.
The emotional work of Ruth Griffin,
as Estrella, wife of the Colonel, was
excellent. This part was a difficult one
to portray, and in her interpretation of
it Miss Griffin earned a high place in
campus dramatic circles.
John Houston, who was manager of
the production, took the part of Mr.
Canby, father of Bonita and Estrella,

Training for Track and Field
By W. L. HAYWARD.
No. 6: The Running Broad Jump.
The qualifications for this event are
speed and elevtftion. I have seen small
men jump just as well as large ones de
spite (lie fact that most of our chain
pious are large men. Frank Irons of
Chicago is a small men weighing 140
pounds, yet he is credited with 24 ft.
6 in. A. B. Gatterson stands six feet,
weighs 180 pounds, has a record of 24
ft. 1114 in. The main thing is to be
able to get the take-off with the amount
of speed that will give the greatest
elevation. If one runs too fast, eleva
tion is sacrificed, or if too slow distance
is sacrificed.
After one has the right distance from
the start to the take-off he should
practice jumping in the air. Do not try
for distance; this will come just as soon
as the form is mastered. One of the
first things to be learned is to get the
take-off properly. The easiest way is
to start at the take-off with the foot
from which you jump and ruff ten
strides, place a mark there and another
at fifteen strides and mark it. Then try
a jump by placing the opposite foot from
the one you jump off on the fifteen foor
stride mark and hitting the ten foot
stride mark fairly should bring the jump
er squarely on the take-off. Should you
miss it, move the mark backward or for
ward the distance it was missed. The
probabalities are that you will not hit
it the first time, but it will help greatly
toward giving a working basis.
The jumper will find as he is getting
in condition that his stride will vary and
the marks will have to be changed ac
cordingly. Confidence in hitting the
take-off will greatly help in the final
result. To obtain the necessary height
a groat many jumpers use a low hurdle
a short distance from the take-off and
practice jumping over it so as to get
elevation.
The jumper should not run with all
speed to the take-off. A point within
two or three strides from the take-off
should bo the distance of the greatest
speed. Coast to the block and prepare
for the spring. By running too fast to
the take-off the jumper will not have
sufficient time or too much speed to get
the height. The result will be that he
will skim along the ground. A jump up
ward and forward with help from arms
and just as the jumper is about to light
the feet should be thrown forward. This
will add greatly to the distance. "When
one has mastered the form it will not be
necessary to jump more than three or
four times a day, but work with
sprinters for speed.

Defeating the Willamette University
Bearcats by a score of 26 to 25 in a
drilling game in which the winning bas
iet came in the last six seconds of play,
the Lemon-Yellow quintet finished the
1921 basketball season with a clean slate
and an average of 1000 per cent in the
Northwest conference. *
“We have only one regret,” Captain
Eddie Durno said last night, “and that
is that we were not able to take one
game from Ithe California teairt, for
with that we could have topped the Pa
cific coast conference percentage col
umn.” But with all that Oregon’s rec
ord in the Pacific coast conference
schedule was mighty good the varsity
dropping two games to Washington at
Seattle after a hard trip, through the
north and losing the other two games to
the California Bears by close scores in
two of the hardest fought games of the
season.
Bohler Well Pleased.
Coach Bohler was well satisfied with
the work of the team during the past
season, and is optimistic over the out
look for another year. Durno, as well
as all the other members of the team,
each paid a tribute to their coach and
swear by his work with them. Beyond a
doubt the mentor has coached the team
through a successful season.
The Saturday night’s game with Will
amette was the only one in which the
varsity has really been in serious dan
ger of losing on the home floor in the
Northwest conference and it was only
by a scratch that the Oregon quintet
snatched the game from their opponents
in the last few seconds. The Bearcats
forged into the lead during the middle
of the last period and succeeded in in
creasing the lead to some five points,
which they maintained until well along
toward the finish.
Couch Breaks Up Passes.
Dumb and “Hunk” Latham each
succeeded in garnering a field basket
which ran Oregon up to within one point
of the Willamette total, when Durno shot
two fouls which placed Oregon ahead by
one point. Wapato, the big Indian for
ward for the invaders, slipped in the
final basket for the Willamette five
which showed the score to be 25 to 24
w’ith the visitors ahead on the one point
margin. Then, with one minute to play.

JUNIOR WEEK END
WILL BE BIG MB.
DECLARES CHAIRMAN
Track, Baseball, and Other
Sports to vie with Dance
and Canoe Fete
PUBLICITY HEAD PLANS
SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN
Keynote Wanted for Junior
Prom; Several Ideas
Already Received
“We’re planning on making Junior
Week-End, May ‘JO and 21, a big affair
this year,” said Ogden Johnson, general
chairman of the class committee. “With
the Pacific coast conference track meet
on Saturday, besides the dance, canoe
fete, and features, we can guarantee the
week-end will be good. We may get the
Pacific coast tennis tournament in ad
dition to the track meet,” he continued.
“Committees are meeting every two
weeks, and plans are being worked out
for events which promise to make the
think a success.”
“The publicity committee of which
Arthur Kuhnhausen is chairman, is at
work now' developing plans whereby we
hope to reach every high school in the
state,” said Johnson. Systematic use
will be made of letters and small town
papers. The Pacific coast conference
track meet will be a big drawing card for
high school people, in the opinion of
Johnson.
Committees arc working in co-opera
toin with Graduate Manager McClain so
that attention will be focused on the big
events rather than on small things of
little interest.
Novelty Planned for Thursday.
A novelty is being planned for Thurs -
day evening, May 19, which may take
the place of the regular pajama parade
or may be a supplement to it. The com
mittee has not yet definitely decided up ■
on the exact nature of this feature, but
it will likely be a masque dance in the
open, probably on Alder street.
The canoe fete will be Friday night,
May 20. “Wayne Akers is chairman of
the main committee for the fete, and
plans which promise unusual features,
are rapidly developing,” said Johnsqji.
The dance Saturday night will be at the
Armory, an eight or ten piece orchestra
furnishing the music.
Elston Ireland and Floyd Bowles,
heads of the dance committee, are con
sidering several suggestions for the key
note of the affair. Among those sug
gested are the ideas of a Mandarin ball,
a Dixie Ball, and a Hula ball. The com
mittee expects to make a decision on the
nature of the function this week. Deco
rations are to betaken care of by Charles
Huggins with a group of assistants.
Many Athletic Events Planned.
“There will be something doing every
minute in athletics,” said Graduate Man
ager McClain. “Friday and Saturday,
baseball games with O. A. C. will be
played. If we get the coast tennis tour
nament, it will be Thursday and Friday,”
he continued. Word has already been
received from Washington and W. S. C.
to the effect that they will send teams
if the tournament date is fixed for
Junion Week-End. Other colleges rep
resented in the tennis tournament ^ould
be O. A. C., California and Stanford.
“The California teams have an ad
vantage over all the rest of us in ten
nis,” said Manager McClain. “Having
only three courts, we are handicapped for
the tournament in this sport, but we are
going to bring the other schools here this
year if we can.” The coast conference
tournament was established last year,
being held at Stanford.
library receives new editions
The library has received from the New’
York importers, a shipment of English,
French. Spanish and German publica
tions, among which is included 26 volu
mes of the general catalogue of the
French library, giving lists of books pub
lished in France, together with their

STUDENTS TO STAGE
FRENCH PLAY TODAY
Club Members Make Up Cast; Everyone
Who Understands Language,
Invited.
A play in French will be given Tues
day evening at the meeting of the French
club in the Y. W. C. A. bungalow, at
7:30. Everyone who understands French
is invited to come. No admission wiil
be charged.
The story begins with Scanarelle,
played by .Toe Ingram, beating his wife
Martine, who is portrayed by Marion
Gilstrap. Martine is very angry and
although she is later supposedly recon
ciled to her husband, she plans re
venge. She meets twro peasants who are
desperately searching for a doctor to
attend their master’s daughter, Lu
einde. Lucinde is played by Helen
Enoch. Martine tells the peasants that
her husband. Scanarelle, is a doctor but
is very peculiar and must be beaten be
fore he will admit that he is a doctor and
practice his profession. This is her re
venge.
The peasants beat Scanarelle unmer
cifully and he is forced to admit he is a
doctor. He is taken to see Lucinde,
who is supposed to be ill, and finds
himself in a considerable predicament
since he of course is not a doctor. He
discovers that Lucinde is in love with
Leandre, played by Wilbur Bolton,
whom lrer father has forbidden her to
mary. The unravelling of the love story
and its final solution is interesting and
entertaining.
Other characters are Robert, played
by Raymond Burns; Geronte, by Verne
Blue; Valere, by Verne Fudge; Lucas
by Don Zimmerman.
FACULTY ARE GUESTS

STUDENTS TO HEIR
NEW CONSTITUTION
THY M0RNIN6
New Code Has Budget System
For All Branches of
Activity
CAMPUS APPROVAL TO
BE SOUGHT LATER
Proposed Changes In Student
Laws Directly Affect All,
says Savage
The newly proposed constitution for
the A. S. U. O. will be presented to the
students at the regular student body as*
sembly next Thursday morning. The
details of the proposed constitution will
be explained, preparatory to the Toting
on the question which will take place
by ballot next week. v
“This proposed constitution directly
affects every student on the campus” was
the declaration of Carlton Savage, presir
dent of the A. S. IT. O. in appealing for
a record attendance at Thursday’s gath
ering “and it will have a strong bearing
on future campus activities if success
ful.”
Student Election to Change.
A committee has been busy for some
time consulting with present student
body administrative councils, arranging
and rearranging provisions of the tenta
tive constitution, taking the best from
the student body laws of other institu
tions and working impartially toward the
goal of a constitution as near perfect
as time and hard work can iqake it, and
the proposition to be placed before the
students at the assembly for their'later
approval or rejection will represent an *
efficient and practical body of student
laws.”
Changes involving an entire new fi
nancial system and new methods of elect
ing student body officers are contained
in the draft of the proposed code. These
features are of vital importance to the
entire student body, according to presi
dent Savage, and will have a far-reach
ing effect on the student government' of
future classes of the University.
A budget system for all branches 6f
student activity in included in the new
code. The executive committee, foren
sic council, and athletic council will be
superceeded by an executive council
composed of three members of the fac
ulty, six students and one alumnus.
The new features will place the con
trol of student activities in more cen
; tralized hands, compatible with the
larger institutions at the present time.
Naturalness and Spontaneity
Mark Production of “King of"
The Castle”, says Thacher
(By Prof. W. F. G. Thaoher.)
It is a pleasant undertaking to write
of the production of “The King of the
Castles," given by the students of the
University high school on Friday night,
for the performance was a capital suc
cess, and was received with enthusiasm
by an audience that filled the Eugeuc
Theatre to overflowing.
It must be admitted that, as a rule,
productions of this kind arc appreciated
chiefly by, the parents and friends of the
young people in the cast, who compose
the largest part of the audience. Not
so “The King of the Castles." No al
lowances have to be made for it. It
wins complete approval on its own
merits.
The plot of the piece (and it has a
plot—two of them, to be- more exact) is
a consistently developed story that car
ries a sustained interest from the open
ing lines to the climax. The music is
melodious and well within the vocal pos
sibilities of thq young singers. The
comedy is rollicking and really funny.
The costumes, pretty and appropriate.
And how those youngsters did put it
over! They played and sang and danced
just as if they had been doing nothing
else for the last ten years. And yet
they were perfectly natural, spontaneous,
unaffected. That, to me, was the chief
charm of the performance; the absence
of the artificial, of the straining after
the effects that arc the accepted stock
in trade of the present-day musical
comedy. The whole performance was
fresh, unspoiled, adolescent.
In another sence, the production was a
significant achievement; it was entirely
home-made. Aside from the music,
which was adapted from the songs that
appear in the music readers used in the
University high school, the entire thing
was the product of the genius (nothing
short of that!) of Mrs. Anna L. Beck,
of the department of public school music
of the University. Mrs. Beck wrote the
libretto and the lyrics, and trained the
principals and the choruses. With the
assistance of the department of norma]
arts, of the school of architecture aoid
fine arts, she designed the scenery and
costumes (and herself made roost of ,
the latter,) and directed the produc
tion. That she had competent assistants
detracts not at all from her achievement,
and to her belongs the greatest measure
of praise for an accomplishment that sett
a new standard for high school operet
tas.
