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

DEAN HALE ADDRESSES WOMEN
Dean W. G. 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. The address was given
under the auspices of the American As
sociation of College Women. 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. Coach Bohler acted as rpferee.
The line-up for the campus team was:
Forwards, Powers, Ruch; center, Me
Knight; guards, Bradley, Coleman,
spares, Ridings, Hayden, Young.
0. A. C. WOMEN DEFEAT NEVADA

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.
