NUMB5R 122
FAST COUGAR NINE
WILL OPEN SEASON
HERE NEXT FRIDAY
Bohler’s Men, Overwhelmed on
Northern Trip, in Better
Trim for Battle
FINAL GAME ON TOUR WON
Coach Pleased with Showing
at Whitman; Latham to
Be Used on Mound
The varsity baseball team, back from
its long northern trip, will open the
local coast conference season Friday
and Saturday of this week with a two
game series -against the strong nine
from Washington State college, last
year’s conference champions. The
games promise to be fast and hard
fought, for the Staters administered
two stinging defeats to the varsity last
week in Pullman, 4-3 and 17-1.
Although the squad returned from
the northern trip Sunday with but one
win to their credit as against seven
defeats, Coach Bohler is well satisfied
with the team and expects them to im
prove greatly now that they can settle
down to work on the home diamond.
“The team lived up to my hopes,”
said the coach. “They were up against
a tough proposition on the trip. With
no practice they faced the strongest
teams of the conference, and all in all
they deserve a great deal of credit for
their showing.”
Left-overs to Have Chance
With the return of the team Bohler
intends giving a lot of the men who
are out for the varsity, and who did
not get a chance to show their wares
before the trip, full opportunity to
make good, as he believes that there
was insufficient time for them to show
up before the squad had to be picked.
The varsity left-overs during the ab
sence of the team have been practicing
against the freshmen under the tutelage
of Eddie Durno.
“Hunk” Latham, who played third
-on the trip, will be used in the box,
according to Coach Bohler, and a new
third baseman will be developed.
Bohler is well satisfied with liis heaving
staff but says that they lack experi
ence and with another year’s seasoning
will be able to break into the win
column regularly.
How the Games Went
The following games were played on
the trip: At Seattle, April 20, 22:
Oregon 6, 2, Washington 13, 13. At
Pullman, April 24, 25: Oregon 3, 1,
Washington State 4, 17. At Modfcow,
April 26, 27: Oregon 1, 3, Idaho 7, 11. j
At Walla Walla: Oregon 3, 5, Whit
man 4, 4.
It ingle, Wright, Baldwin and Gray
bore the burden of the hurling while
on the invasion, while Leslie and Ward
Johnson caught. Terry Johnson held
down the initial sack, with Bill Collins
and Jimmy Boss alternating at second.
Franz Beller played all the games at
short, with Hunk Latham holding down
the third pillow. In center field Boy
croft, Geary and Collins fought it out,
and Zimmerman and Sorsby held down
left and right fields respectively.
The varsity won the final game of
the trip against Whitman Saturday
afternoon, 5-4, with Baldwin and Gray
doing the hurling for the Lemon Yel
low. Bohler is well pleased with the
showing the squad made in the Whit
man series both in fielding and hitting,
and states that they showed a world of
Improvement over their opening games.

SUN DODGER IS SUSPENDED
TYPE OF HUMOR IN PUBLICATION
LACKS REGENTS’ APPROVAL
•Editors of Magazine of Fun Charged!
with Abuse of Good Taste; Staff
Previously Warned
University of Washington, May 1—
(P. I. N. S. Special)—The committee
on publications of the University with
drew its consent to the publication of
the Sun Dodger, giving as the reason
for its action that the Sun Dodger has
never published the type of humor that
the committee had hoped for when it
gave its consent to the founding of the
magazine in June, 1919.
In May, 1920, Sun Dodger published
a number which was in flagrant viola
tion of good taste, according to the
committee. Warning was given at that
time that “if another number trans
gresses the decency observed in good
society, the publication of the Sun
Dodger will have to cease at once.”
The letter of the committee to the
board of control giving its sanction to
the founding of the Sun Dodger, dated
June 8, 1919, was read in part as fol
lows: “The editing of a clean and
worth-while humorous magazine which
will reflect credit on the University and
its student body is a difficult thing.
In very few cases has it been success
fully done. There is always a tendency
to degenerate into that which is cheap
or low or just smart. Good wit and
humor in sufficient quantities to fill
the pages of a regular monthly maga
zine is rare.”
The letter to Lockerby states that
the committee has watched the devel
opment of the Sun Dodger with inter
est and that the fears of the committee
as to the ability of students to edit a
comic magazine that would reflect
credit to the University of Washington
were not ungrounded.
The letter, after referring to the
warning given in May, 1920, says:
“For a time after that some improve
ment was noted but it was not perma
nent. It has not been shown that the
Sun Dodger can creditably reflect the
life of the University or serve any good
purpose for its students. We are con
vinced that changing editorial boards
and the nature of the task they set
themselves make possible at any time
the publishing of matter which will
bring criticism upon the University and
misrepresent the character and aspira
tions of the student body. The April
number is a striking example of this.
“In view of these facts the commit
tee, after careful consideration, with
draws its consent to the publication of
the Sun Dodger, and requests the pub-t
lishers to close its affairs as soon as j

Geologists Return to Campus
With Minerals and Poison Oak
After spending the week-end investi
gating the mineral deposits and geolog
ical formations of the Roseburg quad
rangle, the 14 members of the geology
class and Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, instruc
tor, returned to the Oregon campus late
Sunday evening with numerous ac
counts of an enjoyable trip, some in
teresting specimens of rock, and a few
cases of poison oak. Dr. Hodge, leader
of the party, sailed into the University
environs Sunday night with students,
Tocks, and poison oak blisters in tow.
Nevertheless, Dr. Hodge’s enthusiasm
over the trip had not waned yesterday,
and he gave an interesting aecount of
the geology expedition into the Rose
burg country.
While on the Umpqua the student ge
ologists worked out the geological his
tory of the area and found formations
and rocks not previously known to
have been located in that quadrangle.
Over 20 varieties of rocks were found
in the region and many of them are new '
to the locality, said Dr. Hodge. In the
Myrtle creek formation an interesting
study of the prehistoric landscape was
made from the conglomerates. The
students found that this formation, Cre
taceons in age, was derived from gran
ite, anthracite, and chert rocks—prob
ably great pinnacles which had been
worn down by the battering of the ele
ments for thousands of centuries.
Pyroxenite, a mineral entirely new
to the Roseburg region, was found by
the party, and indications of lava
dikes, previously unmapped, were lo
cated. Lava flows were found in the
Myrtle creek formation and, according
to members of the party, this is an im
portant bit of information for the ge
ologist who seeks to solve the history
of that conntry.
The geologists left the University
early Friday morning and traveled to

STUDENT LOAN FUND
INCREASED BT GIFT
FROM DJ SELLING
Donation of $1000 Received
from Portland Merchant
on 70th Birthday
OTHER INSTITUTIONS AIDED
Philanthropist Noted in State
for Interest in Schools
of Higher Learning
A check for $1000 to increase the
student loan fund of the University was
received yesterday from Ben Selling, a
merchant of Portland. The gift is a
part of a distribution of $27,000 made
by Mr. Selling to institutions of higher
learning on the occasion of his seven
tieth birthday.
The Ben Selling loan fund was estab
lished about ten years ago by Mr.
Selling when he donated $100 to the
University to be used as a loan for
students who needed help to complete
their college work. The amount of this
loan has increased to nearly $160 with
the accumulated interest, and the gift
received yesterday will swell the fund
to a considerable size. The student
loan fund of the University is provided
to assist students to complete their
collegiate work and is available to any
student who is in need of funds during
the college year. Repayment can be
made after the student has graduated
and is in a position to return the
[amount borrowed.
Total Loans Now $12,000
The total of the student loan funds,
including the latest gift of $1000,
amounts to about $12,000, according to
Karl Onthank, executive secretary of
the University. Besides this amount
there is the student loan fund of the
class of ’93 which amounts to $2500.
The funds are replenished from time
to time by outside donations, gifts from
graduating classes in the University
and other unsolicited means.
Ben Selling is known throughout the
state for his generosity to public in
stitutions of education and for his
philanthropic donations. The recent
distribution of $27,000 is only a small
part of the many donations he has made
during his many years residence in
Portland. The present gift represents
in a large part the funds received from
the sale of the liberty bonds he pur
chased during the war. The purchase
and sale of these bonds was carried on
by Mr. Selling for patriotic reasons in
order that more people might be en
abled to purchase the bonds on easy
payment.
Three Nephews Attend University
During his active career in the state
Mr. Selling has been deeply interested
in the cause of higher education and
has always been a friend of the Uni
versity. Mr. Selling had three nephews
who attended the University at various
times, one of whom is now attending
the Oregon medical school in Portland.
“The student loan fund must con
tinue to grow with >the University if it
is to meet the increasing demands,”
said Mr. Onthank last night. At the
time the gift was received from Mr.
Selling there was only $200 left in the
fund, said Mr. Onthank.

FAMOUS MOHS
TO BE FEATURE OF
JUNIOR VAUDEVILLE
Magical Mulkey to Present
“Memoirs of the Magi”
in Specialty Act
JOE CLARK IN DANCE SKIT
Claire Keeney, Si Valentyne in
Production at Eugene
Theater May 6
“Memoirs of the Magi,” an act in
cluding spiritualistic illusions, feats of
magic, and card tricks as presented by
the world’s most famous magicians,
will be a feature of the Junior Vaude
ville which is to be given at the Eugene
theater Saturday night, May 6. Virgil
Mulkey, or “Magical” Mulkey as he is
known in local circles, will be assisted
in this act by Katherine Sartain, Del
bert Faust, and George McMurphey.
Mulkey, who has had a great deal of
professional experience in this line, will
feature, for the first time here, “The
Spirit Painting,” the favorite illusion
of the great Alexander. This act has
always proved to bo very puzzling and
intensely interesting to all who have
seen it in professional performances.
Other attractions in this number will
be the “Hydrosphoric Foulard,” the
feature trick of the great Chinese ne
cromancer, Wing Fu, several card tricks
of Howard Thurston, the world's great
est card manipulator, and black magic
ns practiced by the ancient Magi.
Dancing Act Is Feature
Another feature of the bill will be
the dancing act, “In a Watteau Gar
den,” by Joe Clark, who will be assisted
by Ada Harkness and Dorothy Hall.
All three are very well known for their
dancing and dramatic ability, and will
present an act that will be entirely new
in every way. Special costumes and
stage effects have been designed, and
a unique and effective arrangement of
lights will be used.
A dialogue and dancing number by
Si Valentyne and Fred Woods is being
well worked out. The Kappas will re
peat the stunt which won first prize
for them at the April Frolic. This is
a light musical skit entitled “Pierre
Patissier.” Another feature number
Claire Keeney, Irene Stewart and
Darrell Larsen are to entertain with an
act called “Beau of Bath.” This is
promised to be especially clever. A
quartet from the glee club will enter
tain with a number entitled ^Four Bad
Boys in Song Fest."
A musical comedy act, under the di
rection of Alice Tompkins, entitled
“The Girl in Gray,” is one of the fea
tures of the show. The music for this
number was especially written by Imo
gene Letcher.
Eight Acts on Program
The program incftdes eight acts, and
for these the best talent obtainable on
the campus has been secured. Seat sale
will start today, and tickets will be
handled through members of the junior
class in the various living organiza
tions. The lower floor and balcony will
be reserved, and seats are to be sold at
75c and 35c.
A great effort has been made by the
juniors to make this vaudeville the best
possible. All returns will go toward
defraying expenses of Junior Week
end.
OREGANA TO BE OUT SOON
Exact Date Unknown; Ail Will Be
Distributed at Same Time
Although a few copies of the 1922
Oregnna have already come from the
hands of the binders completely fin
ished, not a single copy of the year
book is to appear on the campus until
all of the 1200 are ready for distribu
tion, aays Inez King, editor.
Only about 100 copies can be com
pleted each day, so that it will be
nearly two weeks before all the work
of binding is done. The exact date
when the Oregana will appear on the
campus has not been set by the editor
and manager, but it will be before
Junior Week-end.
"—and it will be no use pleading to
see one until they’re all out!” was the
firm declaration of the editor.

FIJIS, OREGON CLUB WIN
LAST INNING RALLY BY TTAT.T.
MEN FAILS TO WIN GAME
Four Circuit Clouts Enable Club Men to
Defeat Sigma Nu in Fifth Frame;
Two Games Today
The doughnut league baseball sched
ule opened with a “baug” yesterday
afternoon when the Fijis trimmed
Friendly hall, last year’s champs, by a
13 to 8 score. The Phi Gamma Delta
squad was never in a very bad way
during the game, but a last inning rnllv
by the dorm men in which they scored ■
throe runs after two men were out. j
made things look rather bad for the
Fijis.
Saltzor did the chucking for the los
ers, and although he received poor sup
port, got by very well until the fifth
canto, when the Fiji long range guns
got into action and nicked him for six
runs. In this inning Drown, Fiji first
sacker, tripled for the second time with
one man on and later in the same frnmo
Hawkins drove one over tho right field
er’s head for a trip around tho bags,
scoring two men ahead of him. Judge
relieved Saltzor in the sixth and held
the Fijis scoreless the rest of the game.
Altstock, who did mound duty for
the Fijis, was touched frequently for
safe hits but worked well in tight
places and received good support. The
Phi Gamma Delta infield looked good
in yesterday’s performance, completing
two double plays, tho first, Staley to
Phillips to Drown, nnd the second was
made by Drown unassisted.
Decause the varsity is putting in
some hard licks this week, the Cemetery
Didge field will not bo available for j
the (1 o’clock games as per schedule, and
they will be played on the D. O. T. C.
field. Today’s games are Kappa Sigma i
vs. Sigma Alpha Kpsilon at 4:00, Chi
Psi vs. Sigma Chi at 6:00.
In the second game ot the series tho

FIVE MORE HUMES
ADDED TO LIST OF
OFFICE SEEKERS
Lawrence Out for Emerald
Editor; Callaway Seeks
Vice-presidency
GIRLS SEEK COUNCIL JOBS
Henryetta Lawrence and Betty
Pride Announce Selves
for Junior Places
With tho announcement of George
King that ho would become a candidate
for the presidency of the A. 8. U. O.
late yesterday, the declaration of Owen
Callaway for tho position of vice-presi
dent, and the decision of Curly Law
rence to run for tho editorship of the
Emerald, predictions of extended activ
ity in campus politics over the week
end were fulfilled. There has also been
some activity in the aspirations for po
sitions on the student council.
The presidency is now being sought
by Georgo King, Chuck Lamb, and John
MacGregor and there are rmors that
there will bo a four-cornered race for
the executive position. It is even con
sidered that it is apt to develop into a
five-cornered nffnir in enso tho campus
politicians Bee fit to launch more aspir
ing candidates into the fray.
Co-eds Are Active
Tho co-eds scored again by their an
nouncement of two candidates for tho
Council last night, and more activity is
expected among tho men students as
a result of these announcements, which
now present a co-ed for overy position
open to them and in somo instances
some competition. The position of rep
resentative on tho Executive Council,
a two-year office and the only two-year
office provided for in the constitution,
is still without any aspirants and this
is considered unusual when tho im
portance of tho job is considered. It
is not thought that this situation will
continue longer than today, however.
Goorgo King, the third man to cast
his hat into the ring for the position of
president of the student body, has boen
a member of the football team for two
years and played on the freshman squad
during his first year here. He has
been prominent in class activities and
is at present a member of tho Junior
Week-eni committee. During tho war
he served overseas ns nn officer with
a machine gun company. Ho has been
active in the Order of the O and is a
member of Phi Delta Theta.
Callaway Is Out
Owen Callaway is another candi
date to toss his hat in tho ring. Calla
way announced his candidacy for tho
vice-presidency last night. He has been
active in student body and class affairs
nnd just recently completed a one-year

Hampden’s Genius Flames High
In Portrayal of the Moor of Venice
Surely some uiagie does it take to
breathe into those three-century-old
lines of Shakespeare fresh life and a
glowing spirit. Hut no, not magic, for
in them lie and doubtless will forever
lie a truth and an identification with
humankind that need something, cer
tainly nothing less than genius to bring
into being, to make to pulsate again as
on the Elizabethan stage.
Walter Hampden has that genius,
one akin to that of Booth and Irving
and not less if very valued critics and
one’s own eyes and ears are to be be
lieved. In last night’s performance in
the Eugene theatre of the Moor of
Venice in Shakespeare’s tragedy of
jealous passion, “Othello,” that genius
flamed very high.
Ilampden played the tragic role in
magnificent fashion. The entire per
formance was very competent even to
the point of brilliancy. And, too, it
was a complete performance of the
tragedy of the fierce but finely tem
pered warrior whose nature warped and
crumbled under the insidious poison of
the “honest" Iago. Beenes which are
usually omitted, that before Othello’b
lodging in Venice, the full scene at the
meeting of the seignory before the
duke, Othello’s catalepsy, Desdemona’s
colloquy with Emilia even to her sing
ing of the plaintive “Willow, Willow,”
and all of Emelia’s curdling denunci
ation of Othello following the murder
of Desdemona, were included in last
night’s performance and done magnifi
cently. And in the settings were em
bodied a satisfying completeness, a
richness, and a perfect artistry.
The Othello of Hampden is a glowing
thing. It knows a fire, a dignity, and
an eloquence that leave not oven a sug
gestion of improvement or ehange.
Hampden’s Moor is not terrible in
physical aspect; he is terrible in hie
passion. His rapid decadence from no
ble lover to a creature ridden by jeal
ousy and suspicion carries a tragic bit
terness equal to any conception of the
role. His portrayal of the murder
might have been revolting. It was not,
and for that and because it «u never
