VOLUME XXII.
UNIVERSITY of OREGON,
EUGENE, OREGON,
THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921.
NO. 140.
Team Will be Weakened by
Absence of Steller
Outfielder
BOHLER IS SILENT, AS
USUAL, ABOUT TOSSERS
Art Berg- Is Most Likely Man
For Box; Has Pitched
Two Straight.
With “Homo llun” Knudsen on t)io
sick list and his appearance uncertain
in the varsity lineup which meets the
Oregon Agricultural College nine in n
two-game series Friday and Saturday of
this week, prospects do not seem overly
bright for the Lemon-Yellow hall tossers.
At present Knudsen has poison oak.
and unless his condition mends speedilv
he will probably not make the trip. His
loss will be 'keenly felt by the team, as
Carl is not only one of the best garden
ers in the conference, but he is also a
mighty son of “Swat” and leads the
Oregon sluggers in hitting. If Knudsen
doesn’t play either “Bill” Collins or
“Hube” Jacobberger will have a chance
to show their wares in right field.
Coach Bohler is noncommittal! in re
gard to the lineup he intends to send
against the Aggies but the positions
will probably be held down by the same
men with the possible exception of
Kmtdsen that performed against the
collegians on the Bight last Saturday.
Base, Beller, Bheinhart. and Svarverud
in the infield, and Gamble, Zimmerman,
Knudsen, Collins or Jacobberger in the
gardens.
Pitchers Not Announced.
Bohler wouldn’t pick his pitchers in
advance, but if the weather remains
fair Art Berg will, in all probability
mount the mound for the varsity in the
initial contest with either “Jake” Ja
cobson or Kollo Gray at the helm in
the final session while “Spike” Leslie
will’ handle the receiving end. There
is of course a possibility that Berg will
do the twirling in both games at Cor
vallis, Art pitched them both last year
on the enemy’s soil, winning his first
start and losing his second on errors.
In any event it will bo Berg’s last ap
pearance under the Lemon-\ allow ban
ner and judging from the way he mowed
the Aggies batsmen last week he should
pitch some mighty smooth ball. In
sixteen innings, last Saturday, the star
portwheeler retired seventeen batsmen
on strikes, allowed eight hits and issued
but two free trips to first.
O.A.C. Lineup same
“Slippery Jim” Richardson’s aggreage
tion is billed to line up about as they
did in Eugene, with “Spec” Keene, Hub
bard, McKenna and Taste cavorting
around the sacks and Moonan, Hartman
Summers and Parkinson working in the
field. Gill and Duffy will handle the
receiving, while “Bert” Babb, Lefty
Miller and Emmett Huges are slated for
the heaving. Babb seeing almost sure
to be in the box Friday as he has a
good record against the varsity last
week. Babb allowed but five hits and
struckout eight of the University swat
ters. He also is credited with a one
hit, eleven inning contest against the
slugging Cougars which the Aggies took
over 2-1.
It’s a tossup between Hughes and
Miller for Saturday’s game, both are
good men with lots of stuff on the ball
and both of them worked against the
locals Saturday.
Dope is Even.
The series on the home lot which the
teams split, the varsity taking o\er the
first 3-2 and the Aggies coming out on
top in the second 5-4, didn’t help the j
dope any and the most favorable pre
diction would be for an even break in
games at Corvallis. Both teams have
practically the same record against the
strong northern nines, each team having
succeeded in defeating 44 ashington
State and the University of 44 ashington
once in a four game series. 44 nile
Coach Bolder is not optimistic oyer the
outcome of the games, even with the
possibile absence of the hardhitting
Kuudsen, hopes to take at least one ot
the contests from the collegians.
PLEDGING IS ANNOUNCED.
Delta Zeta announces the pledging of
Gertrude Audrae, of Portland.
George Hug Refuses
To Accept Position
As Graduate Manager
George Hug will not be graduate
manager here next year. Definite in
formation to that effect was received
by Carlton Savage, student president,
ytsterday afternoon by phone from
Salem. Hug will return the contract
tendered him unsigned, and will re
main at Salem as superintendent of
public schools.
Reasons for the refusal of the offer
are lacking, according to Savage, ex
cept that Hug said that the school
board at Salem refused to accept his
resignation which was to take effect
on June I, and requested that he fill
out his term until September, as his
original contract with the Salem au
thorities stipulated. Other reasons
were that Hug preferred his present
position to that of graduate manager
here, and that it was practically im
possible for him to make arrange
ments to move to Eugene.
According to present plans, another
graduate manager will be elected next
week by the old athletic council and
executive committees. A call wil.
probably be issued for next Tuesday
according to Savage. There are still
several candidates for the position
he declares.
BELTS PUSS OUT BIS
DEFEAT T! PHI SIGS
Base Running is Tiresome;
Score 26 to 9
Delta Tau Delta nearly duplicated the
feat of Friendly hall yesterday evening
by handing the Phi Sigma Pi aggregation
a drubbing to the tune of 26 to !). The
entire game was unmarred by any per
fect fielding, and was continued but
five innings due to the boys getting tired
running down passed balls. All attempts
by the Phi Sigs to tire out the Belts by
allowing them to exhaust themselves
running around the sacks were frustrat
ed by substitutions. The Phi Sigs might
have used substitutes, but he was out
of town.
The scores still resemble the latest
tax reports, and unless something is
done before the sand lot series end, or
a house turns out a real team, the games
must be started after lunch in order that
the schedule of seven innings may be
maintained. It has been suggested that
no inning be permitted to last over an
hour, thus helping to eliminate the
necessity of purchasing an adding ma
chine. The lineup follows:

INSTRUCTOR ADDED
TO MILITARY STAFF
Captain Lewis, of Army of Occupation,
Is Member; Experience
Is Wide.
Arrangements have been completed I
with the war department to detail C’ap- I
tain Francis C. Lewis as assistant in- j
struetor in military science and tactics !
at the University of Oregon. Captain
Lewis has recently returned from over
seas, where he has been with the Amer
ican Army of Occupation on the Rhine.
Captain Lewis has had a great deal
of military experience. lie began as a
private in the national guard of Califor
nia. and worked up through corporalship
to the officer of battalion sergeant-major.
Upon graduating from the first officers’
training camp at the Presidio of San
Francisco, he was commissioned as sec
ond lieutenant. He was attached to tiie
(53rd infantry for duty at once, was com
missioned as second lieutenant in the
regular army October 20, 1917. and pro
moted to the grade of first lieutenant
on the same date. After remaining on
duty with the 63rd infantry until August
23, 1919, he was then transferred to the
5th infantry, which regiment he accom
panied to Germany.
Captain Lewis was born in North Da
kota and is now 29 years old.
Graduate School Standards
Placed On High Plane
In Past Year.
69 NOW ENROLLED
IN SPECIAL COURSES
Summer Term to Emphasize
Advanced Work In
Eugene Division.
There is nn increasing demand for
graduate work in all lines because of the
fact that high schools are asking that
their teachers have some graduate train
ing. A college education is becoming so
common that it is losing its former pres
tige and now one must have some grad
uate work in ordfr to be considered dis
tinctive in the educational world.
To meet this demand, the University
of Oregon has done much during the past
year in the way of systematizing its
work, regulating graduate requirements
and making the graduate school an essen
tial part of the University. One notable
achievement has been that the depart
ments of psychology and physics have
been authorized to offer graduate work
leading to the degree of doctor of philos
ophy.
Must Meet Requirements.
Any department wishing to offer work
above the master’s degree must meet
certain very definite requirements, these
including a department staff large enough
to allow1 ample time to be devoted to
both graduate and undergraduate work
the training of the department staff as
well as a history of its scientific produc
tivity both as to books and articles. The
department must show that there is suf
ficient literature in the library to cover
the needs of graduate work in that de
partment and also, in cases of laboratory
work, that there is sufficient laboratory
equipment to carry on graduate work in
the department. In addition to this, the
department must present a comparison
of the facilities of the department and
the staff training with similar depart
ments in other institutions that have
been offering graduate work for ftame
time.
Education Is studied.
\ Another notable achievement of the
graduate school has been the careful study
of higher education in Oregon and tTle
northwest, and familiarizing students in
the school with the graduate and under
graduate work being done in other col
leges and universities.
Beginning this summer, a change will
be noted in the summer school work
There will be no graduate work offered
in Portland and emphasis will be placed
on graduate work in the Eugene division
T'he University now offers between 20
and 25 graduate assistantsbips and many
applications have already been received
for these from students in other col
leges. Several students of the University
this year will remain for graduate work
next year.
During the present year a total of Of!
students have been doing graduate work
under the direction of fthe University
and a marked increase in the number is
expected for next year.
I
AIRPLANE FILLS GAP
IN TRAIN SCHEDULE
W. D. Whitcomb Would Not Be Late
to Installation Banquet of
Beta Alpha Psi.
Impossible train schedules mean noth
ing to W. I>. Whitcomb, of Portland
when it comes to getting to a banquet
in time. Business in his home town de
tained him until 4 o’clock, three hours
before lie was to aid in the installation
of Beta Alpha I’si, accounting fraternity
in Eugene.
Bather than cause his hosts any in
convenience by delaying the banquet, Mr
Whitcomb proceeded to charter an air
plane. and dropped in on his friends in
time for the dinner.
Mi*. Whitcomb is a member of the Ore
gon state board of accountants, and of
Beta Alpha Psi. Arthur Berridge, an
other practicing accountant who partici
pated iu the installation last night, drove
down from Portland during the day.
A special luncheon will be served at
a joint meeting of all the commerce fra •
ternities will be held this noon, with
members of Phi Theta Kappa, women’s
commerce fraternity, as hostesses.
Colonel Leader Strong for
Oregon; Likes Girls Best
and Treats Reporters Fine
It isn’t often that an ex-doughboy re
ceives a friendly slap on the back from
the hand of a colonel or is allowed the
somewhat unusual privilege of quizzing
the O. concerning his opinions, but
it can happen— not with many of these
regimental chiefs hut a rare exception
appears now and then, such as Colonel
•Tolln header, popular and genial campus
! commandant during the war days, who
yesterday was stalked and eorraled in
the “Ad” building by a campus news1
gatherer.
Knowing the ex-British colonel of in
fantry only by verbal description and
printed war record, and expecting to see
an O. D. color-scheme and Sam Browne
belt and perhaps r. monocle, the reporter
nearly lost his quarry when he failed
to connect the laughing and debonair
gentleman issuing from the President’s
office with the fighting colonel of the
Royal Irich Rifles and the strict, disci
plinarian of the Oregon cadet battalion.
“The Oregon Daily Emerald? Sure,
I’ve heard of the bally sheet,” was t'.ie
colonel’s stentorian reply to the inter
viewer’s statement of his mission, and
the answer was accompanied by an iron
hand grasp, the previously mentioned
slap on the back and the winning smile
that needs no description to those of the
faculty or students who were on the
campus during the training period.
The former soldier who, as a British
attache, has served in the armies of six
nations and lifts seen active service in
many of England’s wars in various parts
of the world, and today is forced to walk
with the aid of a cane as a result of his
work on the battlefields of France, mod-1

EMERALD GANG PLAN
BIG FEAST FOR ELECT
New Editor and Manager Have Charge
of Affair; Special Paper to
Be Published.
Ho! All ye journalists, attached to ye
Oregon Daily Emerald, the scene is laid
and the table will soon be set for the
glad feast of the elect.
Tn other words, the plans for the an
nual Emerald banquet, scheduled for the
evening of dune 4. at the Hotel Osborn,
are well under way and a prince of good
times is assured. A special Emerald will
be issued, and will serve as place cards
for the guests. John Dierdorff is pub
lisher of the “extra.”
The dinner will be a lottery affair,
and is declared to be (hat rare and cur
ious thing, a “square mix.”
TIiis is the final get-together of the
Emerald staff, and will partake of the
nature of a farewell for seniors and oth
ers who do not expect to return to the
campus next year. The banquet is in
charge of the newly elected editor and
manager of the Emerald, and attendance
is limited to those who are on the staff
or who have been of service to the paper
1 during the year.
t'xtly declined to discuss tiis own exploits,
lint, insisted upon speaking in glowing
and enthusiasti<“ terms of his last com
mand, the Oregon cadet, bntallion of 15)18,
“There were just dOO male students
at this University when I arrived here,”
declared the colonel, “and every last one
of them was in training; we had 100
per cent turn-out and this original group
was directly responsible for the thorough
training of over -1000 men in the state
of Oregon.”
TIiis was the longest connected state
ment of the colonel's half-hour talk, ns
he frequently interrupted his running
comment upon campus war days to leap
up and greet some member of the admin
istration staff, and this meeting generally
took the form of the one received by the
reporter. This friendly satlutation was
somewhat modified in the case or a fem
inine member of the staff who approach
ed but it was none the less enthusiastic
and as she left the former commandant
declared himself as an ardent admirer of
the Oregon eo-ed.
“Do you know what those girl stu
dents did for us here on the campus
while we were getting into war condi
tion?” he questioned. “Our battalion

unusual merit has been announced for
the first part of the assembly period. A
string trio consisting of Gertrude Hoe

At the last meeting of the year, anil
tht' first meeting of the Woman’s League
in their new club rooms in the Woman’s
building, nominations for officers for
next year were made. The nominating
committee submitted the names of the
candidates chosen, uo one was nominated
from the floor. The polls will be open
on (his afternoon from 2 to 5 in Villard
hall.
\ ivian Chandlery retiring president,
called the meeting to order and thanked
the girfs for their splendid co-operation
in making the opening of the Woman’s
building such a success.
President Campbell Speaker.
President Campbell attended this “his
tory-making event,” ns Dean Fox termed
it, and spoke to the girls. “This first
meeting in your new club rooms is a sort
of dedication of future service by the
Woman’s League. I am glad to see that
the gathering is so informal. This habit
of drinking tea at meetings is either
making us English, Russian of Bolshe
vik!,” he said.
The Mary Spiller scholarship main
tained by the alumni of the University
was the thing that the president wished
to present to the girls. Mrs. Spiller
was formerly preceptress at Oregon and
this memorial was founded by graduates
who remembered her. First ns a memor
ial, and secondly to offer an opportunity
for worthy young women to make their
way through college. Each senior girl is
urged to join the alumni association bv
paying a fee of $1 and thus do her share
to help the fund along. Miss Chandler
appointed a committee to attend to this.
They are Edna Hyde, Helen Casey, Irene
Whitfield, Alice Lighter.
Building May Be Used.
Doan Fox than outlined some stigges
tioriH that she had to make in regard to
the use of the Woman’s building. The
women's elub rooms may be used infor
mally at any time by notifying Mrs
Wilson, hostess of the building, she said
The alumni rooms are to be open from
0 a. m. to 10 p. m., but are to be used
only for formal things. Any organiza
tion wishing to obtain the sun parlor and
small dancing room to entertain in may
do so. They may use the alumni rooms
to receive in, but other people will not
be kept out.
The two rhonis on the ground floor
are for the use of the faculty men and
women, however the students may feel
free to use them all. On Sundays the
building will be open from 2 to 5 and will
be in charge of a student hostess. Ar
rangements have been made for girls to
relieve Mrs. Wilson for a portion of
every day. These girls will be hostess
for the time she is there and will be re
sponsible for the conduct of people vis
iting.
Dean Fox read parts of a letter from
Miss Louise Ehrmann, former acting dean
of women, congratulating the students
and faculty upon the completion of the
Woman’s building.
PLAY SCHEDULE IS OFF
One-act Guild Productions Discontinued
For Season.
—
The sorieR of one-act plays scheduled
for Friday night in Guild theatre will
not be given at that time, according to
an announcement from the department,
and due to the lateness of the season it
is hardly possible that a schedule will
be found for their production this spring.
