In Seattle
LINE-UP NOT GIVEN
BY COACH BOHLER
Batting’ Ability, of Men, Has
Much to do With Deciding
Those Selected.
Fourteen members of the varsity base
ball squad and Coach George M. Bolder
will leave Eugene this afternoon on the
") o’clock Southern Pacific train for Se
attle, where they will meet the Univer
sity of Washington nine in the opening
number of a two-game series, tomorrow
afternoon. The series with the Sup
dodgers will be followed by a two-game
series with the AVashington State College'
tossers at Pullman on Monday and Tues
day.
One Game Cancelled.
On AVednesday the squad will take a
jump down to AValla AValla, where they
will meet the Whitman College team
for one game. Thursday’s game which
was to have been played in Kennewick
with a semi-pro organization, has been
cancelled.
Friday and Saturday will see Hie Lem
on-Yellow nine back in Portland, where
they will meet the North Pacific Dental
College team in a return game Friday,
and the Multnomah Club aggregation on
Saturday. Seven games will be played
on the entire trip which will be the only
jaunt the varsity will take this season
with the exception of the games to be
played with the Oregon Aggies at. Cor
vallis the latter part of May.
Four pitchers included in the squad
which leaves this afternoon, are Art
Berg. “.Take” Jacobsen, Ttolla Gray and
Mare T.aihnin. Borg and Jacobsen are
both letter men, while Gray was a mem
ber of the frosh pitching staff last year,
and Latham worked on the mound for
the frosh in the spring of 1919.
Lineup Not Given.
Coach Bolder did not give out his line
up for the opening games, although it is
probable that the battery will be made
up of Borg and T,eslie, while the infield
positions will be filled by Smith- at first,
Beller or Base on second. H. Jacobber
ger at short, and Svaverud on third
base. The outer garden will be taken
rare of by Captain Reinhart, Knudsen
and Gamble or Zimmerman.
The task of selecting an infield has
been no easy one for Coach Bolder and
he has been working the squad hard in
the batting cage? for the past week in an
effort to get together a good aggrega
tion of hitters. Special stress has been
made on this particular point and it is
evident from the selections made for the
trip north that the men who are batting
at the top of the list are the ones wha
have been selected for the positions. Col
lins, Liebe, Glos and A^eatch have all
been working good in the infield posi
tions and it is evident that they were
left out of tiro lineup for the northern
trip on account of their not ranking
alongside the isfield chosen in batting
averages.
Stiff Competition Expected.
Berg, Gray*and Jacobsen have all dem
onstrated their ability in the box so far
and Latham is showing promise, although
he has only been out a short time. On
account of the seven hard games, it was
decided to stock up the pitching staff
well.
Both the University of AVasldngton
and AVasldngton State College are rated
to have a fast team this spring, and the
varsity will be up against stiff competi
tion in the north. The Sundodgers have
lost but one game in the 14 early prac
tice games they have played with the
semi-pro teams in the vicinity of Seattle.

Boon,
disappearance of
“CAESAR” IS MYSTERY
Many Solutions Offered to Explain Loss
of Mrs. Anna L. Becks
Chronometer.
Cleopatra by her wiles may have led
him astray, or Brutus, not because be
loved him less but because he loved
Kome more, may have made away with
him. However, no matter how it came
about. “Caesar,” the little alarm clock
that for so long has been the temporal
ruler of Mrs. Anna L. Beck’s classes in
the music building, is nowhere to be
found.
“Caesar was too ambitious, therefore
some Brutus nipped him,” was the only
explanation that Mrs. Beck could give
of the disappearance. It appears that
the clock ran a little too fast and Mrs.
Beck thinks that some member of the
class was so conscientious that he took
it. so that classes would not be lot out
early.
Rex Underwood has an entirely dif
ferent explanation of the mystery. He
says he thinks “Caesar is a-roaming.”
Mrs. Beck believes firmly, however,
that if Caesar could tell her his story, he
would not say, like his namesake, “Gal
lia est omnis divisa in partes tres.” His
words would be, “Gallia est omnis con
tenta in una persona.”
Varsity Is Handicapped By

Thirteen track men, accompanied by
Roach Bill Hayward and Assistant Grad

he trip to Seattle to enter the relay
carnival this week-end. Relay teams
tvill be sent in the half mile relay, the
nile relay and the two mile relay. Ar
rhur Tuck will enter the pentnthalon.
The men to make the trip, in the 220

way. “Scan” Collins, Tommy Wyatt,
Ray Lucas and Dick Sunderleaf will en
ter the 440 distance. The half milers
will be Glenn Walkley, “Speed” Paltier,
Wayne Akers and Bill Coleman
The track men have been handicapped
luring the past two weeks by bad weath
er and have not had much opportunity
to work out. Kincaid field has been
middy aud the Hayward field track has
rot had sufficient rolling to make it
lard. The tryouts were all run in slow
time, due to the spongy condition of the
field.
Little is known of the teams of the
other colleges, but with the exception of
3. A. C. they have not had to contend
igainst the rain.
The half mile team looks like Ore
gon's best bet in the carnival, with Walk
ey and Paltier running' about a dead
ieat, and Akers and Coleman not far
rebind.
Hie 220 team is a doubtful quantity
is the races this year have all been run
on poor fields, and the men have not
,iad a chance to show all that they have.
Rberteuffer looks better than last year,
md Knenhausen stepped a good pace in
the tryouts. Larsen has been laid up
with a bad leg until recently, but seems
to be in good shape now.
“Scan” Collins, in the quarter, is able
to step with any man in his distance on
the coast. Sunderleaf is a letter man
from last season, and is in good shape.
Lucas and Wyatt are both new men and
will have a chance to prove their metal
in the meet. •
The team will leave either tonight or
tomorrow morning

Present Assistant Made Acting
Graduate Manager; Final
Selection May 26
ATHLETIC COUNCIL TO
HUNT FOR CANDIDATES
Oregon Man Preferred But
i Not Essential; Applicants
Are Many
Jack Benefiel, a senior majoring in
commerce, who during the past year has
been serving as assistant graduate man
ager, was last night named as acting
manager of the associated students to
succeed Marion P. McClain, whose resig
nation as graduate manager was accept
ed. Election of a permanent manager
will not be made until May 26, the A. S.
C. O. constitution definitely stating that
the graduate manager not be named until
two weeks after regular student elections,
which occur on May 12 this year.
Benefield Makes Schedules.
Benefiel has, during the past year,
largely taken over the duties of graduate
manager, and is familiar with the details
of the work necessary. He attended to
the arranging of practically all schedules
except football during the past year.
In accepting the resignation of Mc
Clain, the athletic council, in its meeting
last night when action was taken, ex
pressed its appreciation to McClain for
his services to the associated students
during the years he has been graduate
manager. In the future McClain will
devote his entire attention to the Co-op,
of which he is manager.
The athletic council will make every
endeavor to seek the services of a fully
qualified man for the position as man
ager, and the committee named at the
last meeting of the council will continue
to act. Every possible candidate for
the position will receive ample considera
tion, it was stated, and the entire field
will be looked over.
Large Number Apply.
A large number of appli^knts have al
ready appeared, and are being taken
under consideration by the committee and
the council. A motion made during the
meeting was to the effect that Oregon
graduates were to be favored for the
position,, providing they were found to
possess the proper qualifications. A
previous motion to the effect that only
Oregon graduates be considered, was
withdrawn.
The meeting was held at 5 p. m. yes
terday afternoon and lasted until 6:30.
The executive council was also present.
All Planet To Be Shadow Cov
ered at 11:23, Says De Cou.
T'lie moon doth eclipse this night, and
all who are wakeful through the eerie
hours when the day is spent may view
the phenomenon—provided the god of
storms chases his clouds into the fold and
clears the sky.
“This will be a total eclipse, and if it
occurs according to astronomical predic
tions, it should begin to be visible to the
eyes of the ordinary observer at three
minutes past ten, at which time the
moon will enter the umbra, or shadow
proper, and will appear to have a small
bite taken out of the side,” says Pro
fessor E. H. McAlister, who teaches as
tronomy in the University. “The shadow
of the earth will continue to move across
the moon, darkening a bigger section,
until, at 11:23, totality will begin. The
disc will remain completely in the shadow
until 12:05, when the observer may see
its light appearing again on the side.
“At 1:25, the moon leaves the umbra,
and the eclipse is over as far as the
ordinary observer is concerned,” contin
ued Professor McAlister. “It will be in
the pneumbra, or outer shadow, until
2:32. but this shadow- is faint and per
haps the only unusual thing visible to
an untrained eye will be a coppery color
which is sometimes noticeable in the
moon at this stage of the eclipse.”
Total eclipses always occur at full
moon, explained Professor McAlister.
There will be a partial eclipse on Octo
ber 1G of this year.
“Of course,’ warned the professor, in
conclusion, “if the sky is overcast, the
phenonemon will be lost to us.”
Fenton Law Library, Gift of
Father of U. of 0. Graduate,
To Be Presented At Assembly
%Tho Fenton Memorial Library, given
to the University of Oregon by Mr. and
Mrs. William David Fenton, of Portland,
in memory of their son, Kenneth Lucas,
will be formally presented this morning
at the regular assembly meeting in Vil
lard hall.
The library itself, representing one of
the largest gifts ever made to the Uni
versity, consists of approximately 12,000
volumes, and will increase the size of the
present library to more than 20,000 vol
umes.
The gift is to bear the name of Ken
neth Lucas Fenton, who was graduated
from the Portland Law school in 1911,
after which he was admitted to the bar.
practicing with his father until the time
of his death on May 31, 1917. Before
attending the law school in Portland.
Lucas was graduated from Yale, with
the class of 1910. His pre-legal train
ing was obtained at Stanford, where he
was prominent in athletic as well as
academic work. lie starred at both
Rugby and baseball, coaching the fresh
man baseball team at Yale.
Lucas was^one of three sons of Dr.
W. D. Fenton, all of whom attended the
University of Oregon. Dr. Ralph Fen
ton was graduated with the class of
1903, and Dr. Horace Fenton took his
degree with the class of 1900.
The library represents the entire legal
collection made by W. D. Fenton during
a long period of practice. Its compila- :
tion was started in 1875, when he was |
admitted to the bar of the Oregon su- j
preme court after ten years of study j
while acting ns assistant librarian at
Salem. The library was steadily added
to until his retirement from active prac
tice at the beginning of the resent year.
The books include reports from every
state in the Union, complete reports of
ithe supremo court of the United Stales;
statutes at large of the United States,
together with numerous volumes of di
gests and lawyers’ reports. It includes
also a number of valuable books on im
portant cases, which are out. of print,
as well as a complete set of Oregon
session laws of the organization of the
territory.
The law library has been received here
and will be placed in the present law
reading room, which will be converted
into stacks as soon as the space can bo
made available. The intrinsic value of
the library is estimated at between
$45,000 and $47,000.
Personally representing the donors,
George II. Burnett, member of the Ore
gon supreme court and an intimate friend
of the family, will make the presentation
address, .fudge J. W. Hamilton, of ltose
burg, president of the board of regents, j
will formally accept the gift on behalf
of the board, and Dr. W. G. Hale, dean j
of the law school, will express the thanks j
and appreciation of the University to the j
donors.
Louis E. Bean, speaker of the state j
house of representatives and a prominent
member of the Lane County Bar Assoc
iation, will represent that body.
Men and women connected with the
legal profession and Oregon state editors
have received a special invitation to par
ticipate in today’s ceremony. An excel
lent musical program has been arranged
by the University orchestra to precede
the speaking.
The students have been especially
urged by President P. L. Campbell to at
tend the assembly this morning, not only
for the reason that the talks, by some
of the most prominent men in the state
will be worth while, but in order to
show the University’s appreciation of the
splendid gift.
WILLHH
“Bill” says “No”, But Supt.
Newell Is Optimistic
“It’s far from finished, and I doubt if
it’s in shape for the Pacific Coast Con
ference track meet,” said Bill Hayward,
track coach, in discussing the new oval
around Hayward field. W. K. Newell,
superintendent of the University grounds,
who has charge of supervising the work,
reports that the track is all but finished,
is in fairly good shape, and will surely
be ready before the date of the big meet.
“It’s all finished but the final touches,”
said the superintendent, when inter
viewed. “.fust as soon as it dries up
work will start again, and Hayward’s
gang can start work there.”
Before the recent trains a number of
tracksters tried the new track out and
were quite enthusiastic.about its possi
bilities.
Work was started last fall on the field
hut during the rainy months very little
cculd be done toward its completion.
Approximately $8000 has been spent to
date in its construction.
A cross section of the track, which
is a quarter of a mile long, would
show several feet of subsoil, graded to
a nicety, then six inches of coarse gravel
four inches of crushed rock and a sur
face of three inches of crushed cinders,
mixed with clay.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in obtaining cinders from the O.-W. It.
It. N. and their final cost was $5.50 a
yard
Little or nothing has been done on
the short track for broad jumping and
this is one of the features of the work
which caused Coach Hayward to despair
of having the work finished in time.
IRUCH’S STORY PRAISED

| Former Principal of University High
School Gains Recognition.
The February 21st issue of the “Bul
letin of tiie Bureau of Tests and Meas
urements of the University of Michigan”
reviews with appreeatiop G. M. Itueh’s
i “A Study of the Mental, Pedagogical and
i Physical Development of the Pupils of
j the Junior Division of the University

was published as number 7 of the Uni
versity of Oregon publications. Mr. Ituch
was last year principal of the University
high school. He now has a fellowship
at Stanford.
John Stark Evans Picks Up
Features While Studying
A number of new ideas gained while
he was studying in the east last year
are said to be incorporated by John
Stark Evans in the Men’s Glee club con
cert which is being presented under his
direction next Saturday evening. Many
new features were picked up from east
ern glee clubs which Mr. Evans heard
while in that part of the country.
Exceptional ability at directing a men’s
glee club is possessed by Mr. Evans, ac
cording to those in close touch with the
local organization. He has good quali
ties of leadership and the men have re
sponded for him in an admirable way,
it is said. The members have been
prompt at rehearsals and have steadily
coloperated with him in his efforts.
In addtion to the glee club rehearsals,
Mr. Evans has been training a quartette,
which will offer several numbers at the
Saturday night concert, lliis quartette
is composed of George Hopkins, John
Stark Evans, Glen Morrow and Maurice
Eben. In the Portland concert last
January tHis quartette received a great
deal of praise and a critic of that city
stated that it was one of the best he
hud ever heard.
A varied program with a well balanced
assortment of offerings is promised by
those in charge of the concert. A new
stunt with a good bit of local color mixed
in is said to form a pleasing part of the
evening’s entertainment.
Tickets for the concert are now on sale
at the Poop and at Kuykendall’s drug
store down ttown. All seats may be re
served after 0 o’clock Saturday morning
at the box office of the Eugene Theatre.
Prices are fifty cents, seventy-five, and
one dollar.
O. A. C. PLANS WEEK-END.
Elaborate preparations for junior Week

Sunday. May 20-20, at O. A. C., are an
nounced by the committees in charge.
A baseball game between the University
of Oregon and O. A. C„. the big athletic
event, is scheduled for Friday, May 27.
All classes will compete at. the junior
vaudeville show, nt which a silver loving
cup will be presented for the most orig
inal skit. Saturday the freshmen and
sophomores will stretch a rope across
the mill race for the annual tug-of-war
to see which class is pulled into the
water.
50 SCIENCE FACULTY;
MEMBERS OF 0, A. C,
UNIVERSITY GUESTS
Sigma XI Fraternity Attends
Banquet Held By Local
Organization
SIX STUDENTS GIVEN
INITIATION INTO CLUB
Dr. H.B. Torrey Elected Head:
Interesting Lectures
Are Heard '
The University Science club enter
tained as its guests nt its regular April
meeting on Tuesday, about 50 members
of the science faculty at the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, members of Sigma XI,
national science organization.
Most of the visitors arrived from Cor
vallis during the afternoon, and were es
corted about the campus by graduate as
sistants, and under-graduate scholars of
the various science departments.
A dinner was served at the Anchorage
nt. (5:,‘!0 to the visiting members from
O. A. C. President P. L. Campbell and
Dean Colin V. D.vment were the invited
guests. About 80 people were present.
Club Makes Special Recognition.
Following the dinner, a short business
meeting, with the initiation of the six
students from the various science depart
ments who had been elected to honor
membership in the club, was held. It
has been the custom of the science club
for n number of years, suys Dr. R. H.
.Wheeler, to bestow special recognition
on students in the science departments,
who show serious interest in science and
research. It is one of the highest honors
which the science faculty can give to
students who have a genuine scientific
scholarship standard. One of the requi
sites for this honor is that the individual
must have flip ability to think independ
ently, and another that he must be act
ively engaged in some particular re
search.
The ceremony of initiation was in
charge of Professor E. L. Packard, who
gave a short account of this system of
inviting honor members, and then.called
upon the heads of the various, depart
ments to formally present to the club
those members whom their department
had elected. Alice Thurston, Marie Rid
ings, Mary Chambers, Ben Horning, Wil
bur Hulin and Arthur Bramley were the
students honored.
Elections Are Held.
In the business meeting following the
initiation, Dr. PI. B. Torrey was elected
president, and Dr. It. J. Williams, secre
tary of the club.
The rest of the evening was taken
up by two lectures given by members
of the O. A. C. delegation. The first of
these was by Professor Henry Hartmond,
of the horticulture department, on "Lo
calized Variations in Plant Individuals.”
This lecture was illustrated'with actual
samples and pictures of plant leaves and
fruits; showing types of variations which
he discussed.
“The Physical Properties of Metals as
Revealed by Their Mierostructurc,” was
the subject of au illustrated lecture by
Professor Samuel II. Graf, of the experi
mental engineering department. He ex
plained the different types of steels used
in safe building, and told why some steels
were dangerous for construction pur
poses, due to the influence of heat and
strain.
Invitation Is Extended.
The O. A. C. science men have extend
ed an invitation to the Oregon science
men to go to Corvallis next October and
present a program there, and although
there has been no opportunity to express
a formal acceptance on the part of the
local scientists, it is believed that the
invitation will be accepted.
The people on the campus who are
interested in science feel that this ex
change between the two schools will
prove helpful to both institutions. The
stimulation in ideas which must result
will lead to better work.
