REV. MR, EDDY CRITICISES BRYAN'S VIEW DE DARWIN Pastor Says Statesman Does Not Understand Theory William Jennings Bryan Joes not know a great deal about theory of evo lution which he is now attacking, said Frank Fay Eddy minister of the Eu gene Uniterian church in an interview in regard to his sermon “The Dangerous College Professor” which he delivered last Sunday. Furthermore, Mr. Eddy does not be lieve that the legislators of the country will pass extensive laws preventing the teaching of evolution. Agitation for such official action is also embodied in the attack of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Eddy believes that there are two elements that will check the spread of such legislation. They are. first, the fact that the educated leaders of our society are ardent believers in the the ory of evolution and secondary, that the desire for freedom of speech, thought and worship is so deeply implanted in the American people that they will not allow such action. He feels that these ancient rights which have been prac ticed for so long and whimh are a part of our Declaration of Independence are too strong to allow Americans to accept laws which would dictate their modes of thinking. Mr. Eddy’s sermon was suggested by the recent attack Mr. Bryan made on the teaching of evolution in the schools. He pointed out that there had always been a conflict between the dogmatist and the questioner. As a usual thing the dogmatist has always had the power that comes from popular backing as he has always represented organized so ciety. When he was opposed by the ques tioner he used the power thus gained, becoming, in Rev. Eddy’s opinion, a bigot. He believes that Mr. Bryan’s attitude is another phase of dogmatism in that he thinks that he realizes that the belief of the average person is one of suspicion about the soundness of evolution. “It is possible for a democracy to be just as dogmatic as an individual. Mr.! Bryan would take advantage of this and use the power to forward his views. “Mr. Bryan makes the appeal that the teaching of evolution will under mine religion. In order to counteract this tendency he would have the legis lature prevent college professors, who he believes are ‘public servants,’ from teaching the doctrine. “It seems to me that Mr. Bryan does not know what the theory of evolution is. He is familiar with but the most mechanical kind of Darwinism. Science has made great strides since the first theories of Darwin and it is these doc trines with which Mr. Bryan is likely not familiar.” MERCHANT OF VENICE’ NEXT DEPARTMENT PLAY Reddie and Miss Banfield in Feature Roles The fifth play of the college year to be produced by the dramatic com panies on the campus will be Shake speares’ “Merchant of Venice.” The dates for this play, which may be the only Shakespearean play of the year have been set for March 15, 16, and 17. It is thought that another Shakespear ean play may be produced for the com mencement play in June, but that has not been definitely decided. Shakespeare has been produced on the campus before and has proved very successful, and as this is one of his. greatest comedies, it is expected by; those in charge that this will be no exception to the rule. Fergus Reddie and Charlotte Banfield, who played the title roles in “Disraeli,” which was produced on the campus a short time ago, will be seen again in the leading roles as Shvlock and Portia- The other members of the cast have all been seen _ on the Guild theatre stage this year and several of them, Claire Keeney. Hildegarde Repinen, and Edwin Keech have taken leading parts this year. Professor Reddie will direct the play, assisted by Charlotte Banfield. Ted Strong will be stage director. The work on the costumes is beirig done by the members of the company who are not in the cast. The entire cast is: Shvlock. Fergus Reddie; Portia, Miss Banfield; Bas sanio, Norvell Thompson: Lorenzo.

Hale, of the Eniversitv law school, explained the duties of the woman juror, under the jury law which recentlv went into effect in this state, in an address to about -10 Eugene women Saturday afternoon in the Wo man's building.

Dean Hale addressed the “Fortnightly Club” an organization of Eugene women, on the subject of “Citizenship” a few days ago. COACH DIFFICULTY IS OVER (Continued from page one) coach, it will be necessary for Bohler to lay his reasons for inability to work harmoniously with Dr. Bovard, at the regular meeting of the executive coun cil Thursday night. The rule was passed with the idea of promoting co operation and harmony between the de partment proper and the various coaches, and reads as follows: Resolution is Given “The members of the executive coun cil desire to take cognizance of the prevailing rumors of certain inliar monies and lack of co-operation in the school of physical education, and will instruct those persons whom it elects to positions in coaching that they are members of the department of athletics in the school of physical education, and that they shall give their best co operation to the general program of the school of physical education. The coun cil regards the department of athletics as an essential part of the educational program of the school, and will impress those members of the department of athletics over whom it has any juris diction that they must either work smoothly and effectively with the rest of the school or lay before the coun cil reasons why they cannot do so.” This resolution directly effects the strained relations recently existent be tween Coach Bohler and Dean Bovard. Referring to his present status in relation to the position he now holds for the coming year, Coach Bohler said yesterday, “I am an applicant for the position I now occupy for the ensuing year. At present, after the airing and adjustment of differences, which were not concerned with the policy of the i department, with which policy I have always agreed, I feel that I can work in harmony with the department and with Dean Bovard. Now it will be a case of whether or not I will be re-elected by the executive council.” Bovard Satisfied Dean Bovard is anxious that Bolder be retained as coach and stated Monday night that he was highly pleased with Bolder’s work as coach, and that should Bohler see fit to reconsider his action not to be an applicant for his present position for the ensuing year that he should be pleased to have him on his staff. President P. L. Campbell in speaking for the administration Monday night outlined the development of the pres ent physical education department un der its present main heads; the gym nasium class work proper, the health service and the athletic department. “Two things,” said the president, “loom up as the big features of our prospective development in the school of physical education; the first, we are beginning to draw and we will draw in the future a large number of capital men who will become interested in the great and well paid field of coaching; the second, that we must keep our ath letics clean. We have elean athletics at Oregon, we do not pay our athletes. There are rumors that we are subjected to unfair competition, that other in stitutions resort to underhand means in securing athleteB for competition in intercollegiate games. The only way that we can hope to meet such competi tion is through the development of the men at Oregon and using the intra mural sports and the gymnasium classes as a laboratory for the development of Varsity material. This is only possible in the highest sense by co-operation on the part of all members of the depart ment of physical education. The ad ministration is absolutely committed to the present program of the physical education department.” Under the system of organization, the school of physical education in cludes the athletic department. The coaches of the various sports are re sponsible to Dean Bovard, who is their immediate head. UNIVERSITY HIGH WINS GAME The University high school basket ball team defeated Corvallis high school Saturday night by a 21-19 score. The game was played in the men’s gym nasium.

MANY TRACK STARS BACK (Continued from page one) ever, in the Northwest Conference meet at Pullman. Floyd Bowles ought to repeat in the broad jump. Last year he jumped in excellent style. Bill Blackaby, broad jumper, will be missed from the ranks, due to graduation. Kuhnhausen, how ever. can be relied upon also for points in the broad jump. “Shrimp” Phillips is out early get ting limbered up for the pole-vault. He vaults about 12 feet and should go good this year. In the weights, “Scot tv” Straehan is the only veteran out for a position on the varsity. Last Year’s Frosh Good The lettermen will have to work to retain their laurels, however, as there are several good men out for places on the varsity who have just come up from the freshman ranks. Ralph Spearow should have tilings all his way in the pole vault, as he does 13 feet most any day and with Jenne, of W. S. C. out of the competition, he should have no difficulty in annexing five points in every meet he enters. He also clears six feet in the high jump and is good in the broad jump. He heaves the javelin and discus to good advantage. If necessary ho can do the sprints and run the hurdles. Lee Web er is another all-around hurdler and a high jumper. Lot Beattie will give the milers a run for honors this year. Last year was his first on the cinders. He has developed a great deal this year and should go good later in the season. The loss of Albert Grilley, sprinter on the frosh team last year, leaves a big hole in the varsity. “Bell” Oberteuffer is out for a place among the sprinters. Competition is Expected Dave Bidwell will no doubt give Blackburn some exciting competition in the two-mile this year. Bidwell is a hard worker and can be counted on to run a good race. “Tubby” Ingle will try for honors in the pole vault and javelin. Troy McCraw will be a valu able man in the weights this year. He will probably be a heavy point winner before he leaves college. Guk Koepp is working out daily for the distance races. Last year he was bothered with bad ankles, which ham pered his work, but this season he ought to give a good account of himself. at the THEATRE WEDNESDAY MARCH 1st I'LL HAVE TOOT A , monkey-I vrencm TO POT ME IN ?>HAPE. acain; MLEAOj A OCXi*^ I l LIFE.! r-' “Bringing Up Father in Wall Street” George McManus Most Popular Musical Comedy JIGGS-MAGGIE-GIRLS PRICES: Floor, $1.50 or $1.00; Balcony, $1.50, $1.00, 75c (plus tax) Seats Now on Sale at Box Office A A A#.
