UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 NUMBER 8& INTRAMURAt TRACK TO BE CONDUCTED UNDER NEW RULES Plan Assures Proper Training and Larger Turnout for Coming Meet LETTER MEN MAY COMPETE Varsity Runners Have Chance to Get Into Action But Points Not Counted Intramural track is to be conducted under a much more elaborate schedule than usual this year as the result of a system of rules drawn up by the com mittee on track which met with Bill Hayward Thursday afternoon. This committee composed of Tommy Wyatt, chairman, Harold Dedman, Lot Beatie, Horace Byler, and Ivan McKinney came to the conclusion that men in former years had not trained enough for the doughnut meet. The first change they decided on was that any men wishing to compete in the doughnut meet this year will have to come out for track at least four times a week starting Monday. One of the chief mistakes of former years was that men entered the dough nut meet, and ran from the half mile to the mile without any training. Bill Hayward says that this is one of the worst things a person can do for his health. The new rule was made for the reason of keeping untrained men off the track, and to limit the number of entries. It will also serve to bring a great many more men out for track that would not come out under any other circumstances. Points are Decided There were 10 points decided on at this meeting, nine of which are as fol lows: 1. Letter men may compete, but places do not count. 2. Five places will count in the order 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 3. Each organization will be limited to two entries in an event. 4. All standard events will be scheduled ex cept the two mile, and the relay will be half mile only. 5. First nine men in ■ semi-finals qualify for finals. 6. The meet is to be conducted on a time sched ule. 7. Trials in all events will be held Friday, May 5. Finals will be on May 6, starting at 2:30 p. m. 8. Officials of the meet will be selected by the games committee from the order of the “O.” 9. A cup is to be given the winner of the meet. In all former meets only three places have counted, so if there were one or two sure point winners entered in an event it tended to keep the others out. Under the system of giving five places and with only nine entries, at the most, in the finals more men will be en couraged to enter an event that has several sure place men entered. Letter Men to Bun Letter men may enter but their points will not count. This is a new rule, for in former years letter men could take part in any event but that in which they had won their letter, and the places counted. Under the new plan the letter men may run in their own event so that a comparison can be made between the men out for dough nut sports and the Varsity members. Hayward has arranged as nearly a perfect schedule as possible this season, and has some sort of meet nearly every week-end. The schedule starts on March 18 with the interclass relay meet, followed on April 8 by the final tryouts for the state relay meet which is to be held here April 18. The teams are to be divided into classes at this meet, according to Bill’s present plans. Oregon and O. A. C. will be the only schools in class A. while Albany Col lege, Pacific University, Pacific Col lege, Monmouth Norma! School, Lin field, Mt. Angel and Reed College will be in Class B. The frosh-rook meet will be held the same date as the all state relay carnival, if present plans turn out right. Washington Meet in April The University of Washington relay meet is on April 21 and 22, at which an Oregon team will be entered, fol lowed by the University of Pennsyl vania Relay meet on April 28 and 29. An Oregon team may be entered in the latter event. A regular inter-class track meet is to be held on April 29 also. All events with the exception of the two mile will be included in this meet. On May 13 is th dual meet with O. A. C. Havward says it looks like another Aggie win with the present turnout of men. The University of Washington j dual meet comes off on April 20, fol j lowed by the climax of the track sea- | son. the All-Coast meet, at Seattle on > MVtn tinned on page four) SCHROFF EXPLAINS PAINTINGS AS INTERPRETATION IN MOODS Artist Pilots Group of Students Through Chamber of Commerce Where Canvases and Water Colors Are Being Displayed The exhibit of painting by Professor Alfred H. Schroff in the Chamber of Commerce rooms is to close tomorrow •evening. The following article by Florence Skinner, senior in journalism, points out some of the finer and more interesting characteristics of the dis play and of some of the individual pictures.—Editor’s Note. It is seldom that in viewing an art exhibit one has the very delightful and educational experience of being per sonally conducted through by the creator of the pictures. But such was the case this week when Professor Al fred H. Schroff accompanied a group of students on an inspection tour of his oil and water color paintings which are now on display in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Would that every one could have this experience for it is a lesson in art appreciation. It is surprising how what seemed a mass of color in the shape of trees, streams and sky changed under the ar tist’s interpretation into a tangible expression of a mood, and of something more of the spirit of things in nature rather than a description of nature. Especially interesting and also en lightening was his explanation of how the individual pictures were made, the changes from the real scene that his ar tistic sense demanded in order to bring about a true balance in line and color. The placing of a group of bushes here, the darkening of a mass of rocks, spots of color, changing the course of the clouds or a stream, even putting j trees in and making limbs droop lower than in nature, all are used by the artist in gaining a truer balance, and to express his true conception of a painting. This is shown in No. 27, a picture of the ravine at Neali Kali Nie, where the real scene was changed by letting a long limb fall over the stream to carry out the balance of the picture. In No. 49, The Golden Brook, Neali Kali Nie, the interest is made to center in the pool which radiates all the browns and greens of the deep forest around it. A liugli tree trunk of brilliant orange stands at one side to balance up with the dominant orange of the pool. The question of balance is a very dif- j fieult one for the artist, Mr. Schroff! explained, and the problem is a new one for each picture as there are no set laws or principles to follow, and the artist must rely upon his intuition and what he conceives will make the, proper balance for each theme. Any line which cuts a picture in two equal halves is bad, and this fault he pointed out in a picture of the ocean where the sea line meets the base of the moun tain near the center of the picture. A painting of Neah Kah Nie bay, No. 39, was a very interesting study. Here Professor Schroff obtained his bal ance by putting in some dark green rocks on the sandy shore, the green be ing the same as that of the mountains on the other side of the sea, and is also reflected in the water. The light grayish tan of the sand and the blue cloudy sky relieves this darker tone, and a rugged gray cliff with a few green bushes add a touch of wildness. A Blowy Day, Eugene, No. 38 was designated as “a round composition in color.” In this the green and purple tones are used, and give the effect of rustlv windiness. The eye follows the violet tones up the hill and around in the distance. In another picture, No. 44, showing the mood of a windy day in the sand dunes, a green fir tree that was not in the original scene was put in to keep tlie balance. This holds the attention ami draws the balance away from the center. A weird painting expressing violence and confusion is No. 95. In this a high rock is the center of interest, and the feeling of danger and death to the climber who would misstep is given. This painting displays a wide variety of color and brilliance. No. 84, is another scene of wildness, although of a dif ferent nature. Here the weird effect is given of a wind swept mountain lighted by a cold moon. Dark blue and gray tints with deep shadows are the color tones used to express the mood of the stormy night. One of the California sketches, No. 85, has a remarkable variety of colors. A grove of Eucalyptus trees is shown with the high tones of orange and blue. An effect of Indian summer is (Continued on page three) GIRLS APPROVE NEW RULES LIVING ORGANIZATIONS FAVOR PROPOSED CHANGES Regulations Must be Sanctioned by Social Affairs Committee Before Final Adoption Proposed changes in the present rules for women on the campus, drawn up in a meeting of heads of houses held two weeks ago, have been endorsed by every women’s living organization, ac cording to Ila Nichols, chairman of house representatives. The rules now await the aproval of Dean Fox, who, because of recent illness, has been un able as vet to give the matter con sideration. After being supervised by Dean Fox, the proposed rules will be taken before the Social Affairs committee, and, if accepted by the committee, will be adopted permanently. When interviewed yesterday after noon, Ila Nichols, chairman of house representatives, was of the opinion that the rules, as drawn up by the house representatives were needed on the cam pus. “Since the University is becom ing so large, I believe the college wo men should be given greater freedom,” she said. “If the rules governing so cial affairs are made more lenient, op position to the rules as so often ex pressed will be eliminated. It was the J general opinion of the heads of houses that the present rules are too strict, and that college women should be given more freedom.” handbaLI doubles begun Kappa Sigma and Oregon Club Start Series With One-sided Wins Kappa Sigma got away with a good start in the handball doubles yesterday by beating Beta Theta Pi to the scores of 21-9 and 21-4. Kappa Sigma was runner up in the singles of the series and will probably finish well up in the doubles. Phi Sigma Pi was eliminated when their representatives took the shprt end of a 21-6, 21-3 score from the Ore gon Club No. 2. Kappa Delta Phi was scheduled to play postponed game with Bachelordon yesterday afternoon but I was postponed again. Next weeks’i schedule will be printed Tuesday. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Phi Delta Theta announces the pledg- ] ing of Irving Huntington, of Portland. ! FACULTY FIDE DEFEATED AGGIE PROFESSORS WIN HARD HOOP GAME 39 TO 35 Overtime Necessary to Beat Local Men; Rutherford Tosses Ten Field Goals ~ The Aggie profs triumphed over the Oregon instructors Thursday, by virtue of Coach Rutherford’s basket shooting, in the game played Thursday night at Corvallis. The score at the end of the allotted playing time stood 31 to 31 but in five minutes overtime the O. A. C. team dropped in four more baskets, while the Lemon Yellow outfit only converted two, making the final count 39 to 35. Rutherford for the Aggies was the big point getter of the game, as he sue cessfully flipped the sphere through the hoop 10 different times during the game, besides converting the only foul at which lie had a chance. Durno played a good game for Oregon and left the floor with 9 points opposite his name. He made four baskets, and con verted one foul out of three attempts. The contest was close throughout, and just as the whistle blew for the end of the game with the score stand ing at 31 all, Durno released a long shot which slipped straight through the basket, but the referee ruled that the shot came too late. In the five minutes overtime played, Rutherford shot two baskets from near the center of the floor, and put the game on ice for the Corvallis quintet. Every man playing scored at least one basket, but the Oregon scores were evenly divided, while Rutherford gar nered most of the Aggie points. The Aggie rooters turned out for the game as if it were a Varsity con test, according to the returned mem bers of the Oregon team. The band was also out. The return game between the squads is to be played here next Wednesday bnder the auspices of the Order'of the “O.” An admission of 10 cents is to be charged. The lineup in Thursday’s game was: Oregon (35) ' O. A. C. (39) Durno, 9.F. Rutherford, 21 8cott, 6.F. Rathbun, 8 Bohler, 8..._.C. Hubbard, 2 Huntington, 2.G.. Hager, 4 Ringle, 2.G.

I GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB CONCERT TICKETS ARE SELLING FAST Production Will be One of Most Impressive Offered Stu dents This Year GOOD SETTINGS PROMISED Jazz and Cheap Vaudeville Not Featured but Light Numbers Included There still remain unsold a few tick ets for the concert to be given by the Women’s Glee Club at 8:30 tonight at the Women’s Building. This musical event is one of the best of the student productions offered during the college year and is the result of hard work and constant training under skilled leader ship. Although only a few members of the glee club will do solo work tonight, every member is a soloist in point of ability. Constant practice and their performance at other concerts have de veloped their ability to sing together in a pleasng and effective way. Tn a program that will be impressive and entertaining from start to fnish will be found songs that appeal to every lover of music. Director John Stark Evans has prom ised that it will be a high class produc tion in every way. Jazz has found no | place on the program and nothing of |the cheap, vaudeville type will be fea | tured. Plenty of light numbers have I been included, some of them even sug ! gestive of the old-fashioned rag-time | melodes. Heavy and dramatic selec tions will play an important part in the concert. Time and effort have not been spared in perfecting the costumes and stage set ; tings to be used. Most, of the cos tumes and feature effects are the re sult of the work and ingenuity of the I glee club members. They have all .been designed with a view to making the different parts of the program as beautiful and impressive as possible. .Members of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary I music fraternity, will act as ushers. The several remaining tickets are on sale at the University Co-op on the campus and at Kuykendall’s Drug Store down town at the uniform price of 75 cents, all seats reserved. SIXTY-SIX APPLY FOR TEACHING POSITIONS Majorty of Applicants Have Had No Previous Experience. Most Pre fer English and History Sixtv-six applications for teaching positions have been filed at the appoint -meat bureau of the department of edu "cation. Forty-two of the persons rep resented, seven ot whom are men, have not taught before and are students on the campus. Of the twenty-four who •have had experience, there are nine stu dents, five men and four women, who j are now attending the University. The applications, which are entirely for positions in high schools, show a majority of requests for English and history subjects, while there are some applications for positions as teachers of mathematics, languages, general sci ence, physical training, commerce ,and music. A number of the applicants are now teaching and have registered for positons as superintendents and prin cipals. Competition for positions in the pro fession will probably be keen, according to indications. The salaries will aver •age about the same as those paid last year. SECRETARIES ’ COURSE OUTLINED The School of Business Administra tion has sent to the commercial organ izations of the state an illustrated pamphlet of tjje Oregon leaflet series announcing the second annual spring short course for commercial club sec retaries, to be held at the University , March 27 to April 1, inclusive.

Sidewalk Sport Latest Fad in Girls* Circles Roller skating as an inter sorority sport? Why not? If dame rumor is speaking with any kind of authority it seems that Gamma Phi Beta will take first plane in the event. For it appears that members of the house, both upper and lower classmen, have been practicing with great diligence of late—-very late. The practicing is being done under cover of darkness, and from good authority, it is learned that they have obtained great proficiency in the . sport. The clatter of skates and the clinking of rollers over the blocks of I the sidewalk have been henrd at a time when less ambitious people have retired for the night. When ques tioned ns to the truth of the rumor yesterday it was at first denied, but with much coaxing, the truth came out, but not a name was to be used. Why not bring back those old days of real sport, when young and old alike did clamp on the skntes and spend a delightful evening? VARSITY LOSES 34 TO 20 OREGON HOOFERS LEAD AT END OF FIliST HALF BY 17-16 Bear Cats Stage Comeback In Final Frame; Last Game of Series to be P*ayed Tomorrow The Bear Cats delivered a K. O. to the Varsity’s winning streak last night when they took the Oregon hoopers into camp bv a score of ,14 to 28. Throughout the first half the game was safely located in no man’s land ami even Columbus would have hesi tated on betting on the final outcome. The initial frame ended with the Lemon Yellow players leading by a score of 17 to 16. After the beginning of the second canto the Willamette tossers began to locate the basket and ran up an addi tionnl 18 points while the Varsity added only 11. This is (lie first of a two game series being played at Salem. Oregon won both of the games played at Kugene last week. P. L.

KINCAID IANDMABK TO BE TORN AWAY; USED FOB 20 YEABS Grandstand Built by Members of Alumni Association at Cost of $1500 PAID FOR SELF IN 3 YEARS Lumber to be Used for Campus Building Work; Spring Clean-up Started Another enmpus landmark will soon disappear as the tearing down of the old grandstand on Kincaid field has commenced. After almost 20 years of service it must make way for progress. The Kincaid grandstand was built in the fall of 1901 by the Alumni As sociation. The construction was brought about largely through the efforts of Luke Goodrich, ’01, Dave Graham, ’05, of Eugene, and W. L. Whittlesey, ’01, who is, at present, working for a tele phone company in New York City. Prior to the erection of the grandstand there were only a few tiers of bleach ers on the field. The association borrowed $1500 to pay for the erection of the stand and in about three years, admission charges for games had paid off the debt. In spite of its years of usefulness, the grandstand is not yet condemned to the I scrap heap, for the lumber will be used for building sidewalks, fences or other construction work on the campus. Besides the cleaning up of Kincaid field, spring campus work includes the building of a macadam driveway, from University street to the east entrance of the Woman’s building, which will be completed in a short time. GIRLS’ CLUBS WILL ELECT University Neighborhood Oroup to Perfect Organization The University Neighborhood Oroup, Inn organzation founded last week by 'Eugene girl students of the University not connected with any campus living organizations, will elect presidents for the four divisions of the city that are 'still without heads at a meeting to be "held next Monday. There are 255 girls in the organiza tion, which has been divided into seven neighborhood groups, each one being represented by a president. Three presidents were elected at last week’s meeting. They are Eloise White, of the group living west of Willamette street; Marion Me Master, of the group living east of Willamette street and north of Tenth street; and Esther Pike, of the Fairmount group. The primary purpose of the organi zation is to organize the local girls and bring them in closer touch with campus activities. Pie, Paddle and Ford Struggle Simulate Keystone Comic Scene A “ Molly wooder” might have thought that a scene wuh being laid for a comedy plioto-pluy liad lie seen the following netting, a large stark of [lies piled on a table just outside the library; a man walking around with a large paddle clasped fondly in his hand; and a Ford driving slowly west on Thirteenth Avenut East, in which one could see three men fighting fiercely for possesson of the wheel. Suddenly, with a mighty heave, two of them picked the third up bodily and pushed him over the side of the careen ing machine which seemed to have lost all sense of any definite objective and was jibing drunkenly from one side of the street to the other. The ejected passenger hit the pave ment with a dull thud lighting on that part of his anatomy best fitted by na ture for that purpose and a bottle nearly full of an amber-colored liquid slipped from his hip pocket and rolled onto the pavement. The Ford was stopped by some of the excited spectators amid confusion. Two or three important mannered individ uals herded the two motorists over to the disgrunted personage reclining against the curb. The names of these offenders were taken, as well as sev eral students who had witnessed the af fair. Driver of the machine, William C. Ralston; companion, Harry K. 8kyr man; ejected passenger, William Cole man. It was here that the tense crowd was apprised of the real troth of the mat ter. It was only a frame-up staged by ♦ Ii*! department of law for the purpose of making a case to he tried in a “moot” court by the students next term. The pies were, of course, for the pie sale put on by the girls of the Y. VV. C. A., and the man with the stick was an order of the “O” member wait ing for the time to administer puuish meut to erring frosh on the library steps. These moot courts are conducted in exactly the same manner as a regular circuit trial, the procedure being fol lowed out in every detail. A practic ing attorney is usually procured to act as a judge and the jury is made up of students. Counsels are had for plain tiff and defense and witnesses are called. Karl P. Conrad, has been retained as attorney for the plaintiff. Counsels for the defense are Frederick L. How ard and Silvester H. Burley. The plain tiff, Coleman, states in his complaint that the defendents, Ralston and 8kyr man, invited him to ride with them and that as soon as he got into the machine they proceeded to assult him. Assult and battery is the technical charge. An answer filed by the defendents affirms that Coleman tried to gain con trol of the wheel and conducted himself in a manner unbecoming to a gentle man, due to an alleged irresponsible condition. Attorney Conrad points out that the bottle was practically full when discovered and that it was only filled with green tea, anyway, so that it is hardly possible that his condition could have been due to this influence.
