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- |

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

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.”

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:

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.

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.

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.
