FROSH TRUCK PROSPECTS
Lack of Training Handicaps
Prep Athletes
MEN PLACED FIRST YEAR
Virden Versatile Performer on
Cinder Path
Frosh track prospects this year are
not especially bright, according' to
Coach Foster, for although there are
a great many men out, most of them
have had no previous experience, and
will have to be developed.
The object of freshman athletics at
Oregon, Foster stated, was not so much
to win for the freshman class, as to
develop men for the Varsity for the
three years in college where their work
would count the most. The first year
therefore is devoted to a great extent
in placing the different men in dif
ferent events in order to find out in
which distance they are the most son
sistent and best performers, and in this
manner have them all ready to step
into a place on the Varsity squad in
their second year.
Try-out Results Given
About 50 men have been out so far
working under Foster, but none of them
has stood out very prominently. The
relay try-outs were held Saturday with
the following results: 220 yard dash,
Virden, first; Breakey, second; Elsen,
third; Poulson, fourth. The 440 re
sults were; Hardenberg, first; Curry,
second; Linton, third; McClellan,
fourth. The 880 winners were; Jordan,
first; Schultz, second; Peek, third;
Carlson, fourth. The winners in the
mile were; Thiering, first; Wintlier,
second; Ellis, third; Stanton, fourth.
The teams are to run in the class ser
ies only, for the coach states that there
are many other men out, some of
which are no doubt better than those
on the teams, and who will perform
later on in the season.
Preppers Favor Baseball
Coach Foster is enthusiastic over the
interest being shown by the men, but
bewails the fact that very few of them
have had previous track work. Most
of the prep schools of the state have
taken to baseball in the spring thus
leaving track out of the schedule, and
this tends to work a hardship on the
freshman teams, as most of the men
have to be developed after coming
here.
Some of those who have been show
ing up well are Virden, Breakev, Ilar
denberg, Peek and Thiering, says Coach
Foster. Virden especially is a versa
tile track man and can take part in
practically any race from the 100 to the
880, according to the coach, who says
that he may be used as a hurdler, since
the team lacks other good men in that
event. Breakev is doing very good
work in the sprints, and Hardenberg
in the half mile is showing up well.
Thiering has been winning the mile
steadily since the opening of the sea
son and looks good in that event.
The freshmen track team men will
have to learn to take better care of
themselves, and will have to train
more, if they are going to accomplish
anything, said Foster, and emphasized
the fact that even little things, such
as irregular habits, tend to throw a
man off his form at times.
Many of the freshmen are remaining
in Eugene over the spring vacation pe
riod, and according to Foster should get
in some good practice if the weather
is at all favorable.

UNITED RALLY OF CHURCH
BIBLE CLASSES TONIGHT
Increase in Attendance and Interest
Results from Campaign of Six
Weeks on Campus.
Everything is in readiness for the
united rally of Eugene church bible
classes which will take place in the
basement of the Methodist church at
7:45 Wednesday evening, according
to statements presented at a meeting
i of the executive council of the church
cooperation committees of the Y. W. C.
1 A. and Y. M. C. A. at the Bungalow
| yesterday afternoon.
Benefits resulting from the six weeks'
campaign culminating in this rally, be
! sides the increase in attendance, the
’threefold. Students have taken a
| greater interest and more active parti
cipation in the church work; the old
members have been aroused and are
| taking a larger part in the activities;
and more contacts with the Bible classes
have been established in the various
living organizations.
Results of the contest, in attendance,
are: Presbyterian women, started with
27, increased to SO members; Presby
terian men, 15 to 47; Methodist men, 12
to 34; Methodist women, 35 to 78;
Christian mixed class, 80 to 140; Bap
tist, 20 to 73. The Congregational
church had no student Bible class at
the start of the campaign, but soon or
ganized one, and now' has a membership
of 15. The Episcopal church has not
organized a class, but the number of
students attending morning services has
increased to 55.
PORTLAND BANKER WILL

Financial Methods of Government to

Held Good Speaker
A. L. Mills, president of the First
National Bank of Portland, and an
officer in the Federal Beserve System,
will be the speaker at the last assem
bly of the term next Thursday. His
topic, “The United States Government
in Banking” is expected to deal with
the development of federal interests in
banking, with particular bearing on
the development of the Federal Beserve
System and the part it has served in
our most actfte financial time of stress.
Mr. Mills comes here with a reputa
tion as a fluent and capable public
speaker. He has been much in demand
throughout the state, and his speeches
have met with success wherever de
1 i. < red. Two months ago he addressed
the students at O. A. 0. on some such
topic as he has selected for Thursday,
and reports indicate that he made a
very strong impression. He also de
livered an address at the inauguration
of the president of Beed College a year
ago.
After his graduation from Harvard
in the early eighties, Mr. Mills came
direct to Oregon, starting his financial
career in a small bank in Eastern Ore
gon. He then worked in a Walla Walla

came to Portland and became connected
with the First National Bank, the
presidency of which he has held for a
number of years. He has had a large
part, in building up this institution.
At 3:00 Thursday, Mr. Mills will
; meet some of the advanced classes in
finance, as well as any students who
may be interested, in room 105 of the
i Commerce building.

MADAM MC GREW’S VOICE
(Continued from page one)
all German townspeople are familiar
with opera and follow with discrimina
tion and authoritive criticism the per
formances of their opera houses.
While in Germany, Madame Me
Grew was married to a civil engineer.
Three children were born to them, but
later she separated from her husband.
When her youngest child was still in
arms, a mnch desired opportunity to
sing in Convent Garden, London, came
to her, but to her great disappointment
her doctor advised her not to accept,
as it would mean leaving her daughter
too soon.
Before the war broke out, the vocalist
came on a trip to America to visit her
parents. The world conflict had begun
when she would have returned. Ocean
travel was not safe. Her relatives
persuaded her against trying to return
to her children. For a whole year she
i heard no word from her little girls,
the suspence and anxiety that Madame
MoGrew suffered forced her to seek
distraction in work. She studied short
story writing, dress making, and
French.
One day when visiting her father in
Denver, a friend who had a brother
in Portland, Oregon, advised her to
come to Portland and sing. Later
Madame McGrew took his advice and
when asked to come to Eugene two
year ago for the Music Festival, ac
cepted the offer, and came tm the
northwest. This winter she sang with
great success the leading feminine role
in the Portland Opera Association’s
production of Verdi’s “Masked Ball.’’
Of her work at the school of music,
Madame McGrew says, “I love to teach
and T am trying to do as much good as
possible. My pupils believe in me. I
advise them and help them with their
problems. T must have children to
love. My daughters are German girls
and T long to have them with me. but
I fear that they would not be happy
here. The oldest one may possibly
come to me this spring. I would like
to have her enter the T’niversitv here.”
STUDENT COUNCIL OF Y. M.
Foreign Conditions Will be
Observed by Party
A tour of European countries, to in
elude England, France, Holland Bel
gium, Germany, Poland. Ozecho-Slovakia,
Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland, is a
program scheduled for American uni
versity students this summer, under the
sponsorship of the National Student
Council of Y. M. C. A. 's, according to L.
P. Putnam, local “Y” secretary who is
in charge of the arrangements on the
Oregon campus.
“The motif of the plan,” says Mr.
Putnam, “is the old adage—that travel
broadens the mind, and it is the belief
of the organizers of the tour that the
students who make the trip will return
to their homes better equipped as citi
zens to take up the fight for a better
America.”
The group as a whole will adopt the
conference method of studying European
conditions, meeting groups of students
and leaders in each country as well as
visiting places of historical interest.
There will be enough leeway in the plan
so that each individual will have freedom
in visiting places of particular attraction
for him. The study schedule calls for
preparation on the way over by way of
study of the political and economic con
ditions in Europe, the back-grounds of
the various countries and such problems
as Reparations and the Treaty of Ver
sailles.
Party to Meet Many People
One of the leaders is quoted as saying:
“We have planned to have the students
brought in contact with people of note
in each country and in the main the
study will be of present human relation
ships and conditions.”
The details of the plan call for one
man from each state. He should be at
least a junior in some university and 21
years of age. He should also be of such
maturity that he can both absorb and
interpret the experiences of the summer.
He is expected to be something of a
leader in his school and a man who will
be available for contact with the men of
his school the following year in order
that his influence and experience may bo
of use to his companions. Each man is
to bear his own expenses which will be
from $500 to $700 from New York City.
The passage each way will be approxi
mately $135 for second class and $90
for third class.
Bulletin Gives Advice
It is suggested in a bulletin issued by
the National Student Councli of the
“Y” which is sponsoring the tour, that
those who want to try third class do so,
going over in preference to the return,
when there will be such a large number
of foreign steerage passengers, although
one can make the steerage both ways if
he so desires.
Any of the students on the campus
who are interested should see Secretary
Putnam at the campus “Y” hut. It is
necessary to know who is chosen from
each state by the middle of April in
order to be sure of the sailings. A de

FRANK S. BAYLEY SPEAKS
ON BENEFITS OF COLLEGE
Prominent Seattle Attorney Tells of
Advantages of Education; Bible
is Subject for Tonight
Frank S. Bavley, who is to address
the United Rally of University Bible
classes in the Methodist church audi
torium at 7:4o this evening arrived on
the campus last night and spoke to a
small group of students who are intend
ing to go to the Y. M. 0. A. Students'
conference at Seabeck, Washington,
next summer.
Mr. Baylev, who is a prominent at
torney in Seattle, being connected with
the firm of Herr, Baylev, nnd Croson,
told of the many benefits one derives
from the personal contact with men
from the various colleges and hearing
different points of view on the many
problems that confront one.
“In looking back over my life I can
see that the milestones are the men I
have brushed against and not the things
that I have accomplished,” said Mr.
Bavley. “The biggest thing that
anyone can get in college is not book
education but the ability to see your
self ns you are nnd get a vision of
what you ought to do for your life
work. ”
Mr. Bay-ley’s subject tonight will
be “Why should the College Man Study
the Bible?” He will also address the
students of the law school this morn
ing at 9 o’clock.
