SURPRISES POSSIBLE
I LIB EOR GAME
Sundodgers, Going Strong, to
Meet Oregon Today and
Saturday.
BERG, KNUDSEN, GREY
OR LATHAM MAY PITCH
Bohler May Spring Darkhorse
Players; Varsity Work
Hard All Week.
Coach G. M. Bohler adopts a sphinx
like silence when asked about his line-up
for the games this week-end with tho
Sundodgers’ nine. According to all Hi
available information around the train
ing quarters, the definite line-up will
not be given out until a few minutes be
fore the game this afternoon. Bolder is
evidently undecided, and his attitude of
watchfulness and waiting for the full
development of pop and fight among the
aspirants for the varsity berths in the
game this afternoon may promise a few
susprises or a slight shakeup, over what
might have been expected.
The team worked all afternoon yes
terday on the frosh diamond near Hay
ward field, and from this final workout
it may be expected that Coach Bohler
was gleaning ali the points possible about
the various candidates. The infield ■'
giving the most concern to the conch at
present, and it is with a view of getting
the best material available to handle the
infield that Bohler has been working for
"the past week. Bain, as usual, has in
terfered with the practice program, and
the proper workouts could not be given
the many aspirants for the positions.
Heavy Hitters Wanted.
According to the varsity mentor, the
heavy hitters will he relied upon to a
great extent in the selection for t he j
team to go against the Northerners. Con
siderable batting practice has been in
dulged in by the squad the past few days,
and both batting cages have been worked
overtime.
Just who' will start the game in the
box for the varsity is also a. matter of
speculation. Coach Bohler has five mem
bers of the pitchers’ staff from which to
make his selection this afternoon, and it
is possible thatJpur of these may get a
chance to do some hurling in the con
test. Grey, Berg. Jacobson. M. Latham
and Knudsen are the men who are being
primed to work on the mound. Coach
Roliler will spare no effort ot use the
best he has against the visitors.
Washington Hits Hard.
Washington has a hitting club this
season, and with two members of tliei
nine who are batting over .400 and about
five others in the .300 class, there prom
ises to be plenty of chance for changes
in the Lemon-Yellow pitching staff dur
ing the afternoon.
TV day’s game, the first of the two
game series which the Sundodgers will
play here, will be played at 3:30 o’clock
Tomorrow’s game is scheduled to start
at 2 o’clock.
Washington took the first of their
series from the Oregon Aggies at Cor
vallis Wednesday afternoon by a 4 to 3
score. The line-up which the Sundodgers
will -probably send against the varsity
consists of Torrance, second base; Bak
ke, shortstop; McMahon, center field:
Cardiner, left field; Merritt, third base;
Reran, right field; Barrett, first base:
Maloney, catcher, and mther Leonard or
Harper in the box.
Italian Went in Swimming;
Sees Jellyfish in Reverie;
Free Verse Is the Result
J
I>o\vii ou the shores of sunny Italy a
man named Marenetti went for a swim—
went swimming in the ocean. And now
you and I can pick up magazines—even
the literary ones—and road free verse.
It may seem a far cry from the ocean
to poetry (undulations excluded), but
the connection is there, for Marenetti
is one of the foremost of free verse ex
ponents of the present day and he be
came a "vers libre’’ convert while in
swimming.
Marenetti figured that back some mil
lions of years when jelly fish were the
sole occupants of the universe and used
to spend their centuries upon the shores
of a sandy sea. there was only one sense
—the sense of touch. From this primal
sense all others, hearing, feeling, taste
and sight have developed, until they over
shadow the original sense which still re
mains, subdued, but with infinite possi
bility.
On tliis theory the erstwhile swimmer
plans the development of a new art. llis
art of all kinds would appeal through
the most potent sense—that of touch, to
such a degree that all artistic enjoy
ment, art. music, painting, sculpture,
could be changed so as to appeal to the
sensitized ta>tile flinders
The exact means which this develop
ment is to take may not be quite clear,
but the type of “poetry ’ which is char
acteristic of ch.'s movement runs some
tl'iiig like ibis:
My shirt is a token avi a syn hoi,
more than a lover for suu and rain,
my'shirt is a signal,
a teller of souls.
I can take off my shirt and tear it,
and so make a ripping razzly noise
and the people will say.
“Look at him tear his shirt.”
I can keep my shirt on,
I can stick around and sing liko a lit
tle bird,
and look ’em all in the eye and never
be fazed.
I can keep my shirt on.
The Marenetti influence is not wholly
FREAK PAPER POSTED
IN JOURNALISM SHACK
Headlines Made By Publishing Class Fail
to Fit News Stories In
Shop Papers.
Extra! Just out! Latest edition of
the Springfield Sun! All the news (lint's
fit to print! And when one sees it. he
wonders if it were not gotten out by a
certain well-known institution in the city
of Salem.
“Vesuvius limits Fire. Eruption Is
Violent.” This big scare-head is follow
ed by a jejune extract from some fath
omless book on psychology.
“Lodge Champions Colombian Treaty
In Senate Battle.” Maybe it is inappro
priate; maybe not! It is the introduc
tion to a treatise on animal intelligence.
Near the bottom of the paper is a cut
of a distinguished looking military offi
cer. Rumor says it is IV. H. C'. Bowen,
formerly commandant of the University
cadet corps. But a line of type beneath
the picture denies this and declares him
to be the Portland Symphony orchestra.
The reason for this conglomeration of
type—you ask. Oh. just a little labora
tory work by the publishing class. They
set up the heads—the body of the news
was already set up—and this is the re
sult. The freak is on display on the bul
letin board in the shack.
Scores Are High! Snooker ? We
Do It Every Time, Say Players
"I'iftj-four to eight”—”30 to 20”—
sound like scores of a rattling good game
of snooker to men, hut to women it
means merely baseball.
Imagine the varsity baseball team
walking-raway to a 54 to fi victory. < )r
t>VPn a 30 to 20 defeat. Baseball? Yes,
honest.
Nothing unusual to eo-eds. it seems,
Mn°e they run up such scores everv day
in their own doughnut league. And they
probably wonder why the varsity w only
aide to hit ’er up for a 4 to 2 score.
It’s not. the fault of the pitchers. ;t
"ould seem, since each organization en
tered in the women’s league boasts of a
star twirler. Strikeouts eome about once
every seven games, and home runs only
about once during the entire series. But
one-base clouts—gosh! The way the
bloomer and middy exponents of slugging
manage to get to first base safely cer
tainly does get the goats of the humble
varsity candidates, who only manage to
land tight side up on the initial sack
alwut twice each game. The Tri Delts,
for instance, staged a Batting rally in one
swatfest, and managed to cross the plate
some 16 (count ’em) times. It wasn’t
the lucky seventh, either, it was the sec
ond inning.
One ambitious youth, upon hearing of
the enormous scores being amalgamated,
by the co-ed willow-whackers, suggested
that Coach Bohler incorporate a few
^‘iuinine pinch-hitters into his outfit
With such additions, intimated the youth
the varsity might well be safe in chal
j longing some major league champs. .\
54 to 8 victory! One can’t do anythin*
but sympathize with the struggling \ar
sity.
responsible, but it is greatly effective in
the new field. Despite the seeming
strangeness of the new style verse, it is
not so terrible as it seems on the surface.
Explaining the significance of this new
type of verse, IV. F. G. Thacher, pro
fessor of rhetoric, explaining that it is a
reaction agaiust the conventional struc
tural rules of poetry.
“Personally,” says Professor Thacher.
“I was trained under the old school of
bpoetry, and my mind responds to the
musical rather than this liewer type. I
am sympathetic to any new movement,
but somehow I can’t get on the same
train.”
Professor Thacher explains that im
pressionism is the outcome of the at
tempt of the writer to present an idea,
without any other embellishment—un
hampered by any rule* such as confine
poetry or verse of the conventional type.
The idea is merely grasped, and present
ed in the most direct unstinted form pos
sible. It takes with it tile feeling that
any idea is potentially worth being shared
with others.
The shirt tale, in verse, by Carl Sand
burg. is. according to Professor Thacher,
about, characteristic of the type of free
verse that is current today. It appeals
j only, he says, to those who are capable
of atuning their minds to this impres
sionistic style. This type of writing,
thinks Professor Thacher, will pass over
soon, but it will leave an effect on poetry
and prose which will probably result in
more freedom, making writing more
spontaneous and a more native voice of
the author.
The “libre” idea is being felt not only
in the field of literature, but also in the
world of art and music.
The new impressionistic style, in sculp
ture and painting isnnuch the same. Fool
ish virgins with broken noses, nude' fig-'
ures with misshapen forms, children with
spindle necks and spade-like feet—these
are some of the results of the artistic
application of the “vers libre” idea.

ILL UNIVERSITY MEN
J
Hayward Field to Be Condi
tioned For Pacific Meet.
Everything is all set for the big Track
Day, according to “Spike’’ Leslie, presi
dent of the “Order of the O” and marshal
of the day for the labor gang which will
j get. the Hayward field oval into shape
■ for the Pacific Coast Conference Track
and Field Meet. “Hank” Foster has
been appointed first assistant to the rnar
' slial of the day and the entire personnel
! of the “Order of the O” will form the
I able corps of deputies which will super
intend the work tomorrow.
According to the plans for the work,
the aspirants for managers of the vari
pus athletic teams will take charge of the
actual performance of the duties under
the letter men. This work will consist
of rolling the track, repairing the bleach
ers and grandstand, and building fences
around the trafk. It will require a large
number of men and every able bodied stu
dent is urged to make his appearance in
overalls or the customary work uniform
I on Saturday morning at .8 o'clock. For
those who do not appear, the “Order of
the O” promises a little persuasion, gent
ly but rather firmly.
The start of the parade will be made
under the direction of Field Marshal
“Spike” Leslie, at the A. T. O. house at
8 o’clock sharp, and from there, little
time will be wasted in gathering in the
recruits as the procession wends its way
c&mpusward. Promptly at nfoon, the
! gang will fall in line for oats, which will
j be served out in liberal portions at the
1 campus luncheon headquarters.
