VARSITY NINE ill
MEETW.S.C.TODAY
IN FIRST OF SERIES
local Opener This Afternoor
Expected to Be Close if
Weather Is Good
LINEUP IS NOT ANNOUNCED
l Sun Dodgers to Be Here Mon
day and Tuesday with
Strong Team
\
At 4 o ’clock today, with the weather
man willing, the first local collegiate
edition of the great national game will
make its appearance when the varsity
tossers face the hard hitting crew from
Washington State college. The Cougars
will arrive in Eugene on the 12:30
Oregon Electric from the north, Oregon
being the first point of attack on their
southern invasion.
Should it be warm enough this after
noon to make peanut crunching an en
joyable pastime, the Ridge bleachers
should be well filled, for the Cougar
athletic teams have always been good
drawing cards and this year, with one
of the best baseball teams in their
history, should be no exception.
Coach Bohler is uncertain as to who
will start the game today, either in the
box or in the field, and intends making
a last minute decision on all points.
The coach has clipped his squad for
the remainder of the season and all
of the men on the present sqnad will,
according to the coach, be very likely
to have a chance to show their re
spective abilities in the series with the
■Staters.
Sqnad Is Listed
The following men will make up
■Oregon’s baseball squad for the re
mainder of the season: Pitchers,
Wright, Baldwin, Ringle, Gray, Leon
ard; catchers, Leslie (captain), John
son, Watson; infield, Johnson, Ross,
Moore, Beller, Mooers, Latham; out
fielders, Zimmerman, Geary, Roycroft,
Sorsby, Collins. All of these men will
be ineligible for doughnut baseball, as
■will the freshmen who make the trip
to Portland this week-end.
Saturday afternoon Washington State
and Oregon will wind up the series, the
Saturday game starting at 2:30. On
Monday and Tuesday afternoons the
varsity will take on the University of
Washington Sun Dodgers in a two-game
series, both of which will commence at
4 o’clock. The Sun Dodgers have a
strong team this year and opened the
season successfully against the Oregon
ians a couple of weeks since, when they
took over the two games at Seattle
13-6 and 13-2.
Lineup Hot Announced
While Bohler is not giving out his
lineup, it is likely that he will start
Wright, Ringle or Baldwin in the box
with Captain Leslie or Ward Johnson
behind the bat. Johnny Watson, a
catcher, Dinty Moore and A1 Moores,
infielders, and Leonard, a pitcher, who
are now on the squad, are almost cer
tain to break into the lineup during the
series as the coach is anxious to get a
line on their abilities under fire.
For Washington State it is likely that
Triel or Skadan will do the heaving
with Bray or Sandberg donning the
mask. And with the varsdty’s im
provement since returning from the
trip it should be a good game.
Protuseness of
Politicians Is
Butt of Satire
Inspired by the profuseness of cer
tain politicians seeking preferment on
the campus, Muriel Meyers has writ
ten the following paraphrase on a
well-known gam of ancient litera
ture:
“The politician is my shepherl; I
shall not want for anything during
his campaign He leadsth me into
the Campa Shoppe for his vote's
sake. Tea though I tramp through
the mud and the rain to vote for him
and about myself hoarse whan he la
elected, straightway he forgetteth
me. He does not recognise mo even
In his own home. Surely the wool
has bean polled over mine agree all
the days of my Ufa and I shall dwell
in the house of a goof forever.”
THEY TELLS OF TESTS
EXPERIMENTS DEAL WITH WORE
IN FIELD OF HEREDITY
Discovery of Transmission to Progenj
of Induced Changes in Rabbits’
Eyes Furthers Science
“One of the most interesting and re
markable experiments in the field ol
heredity—that of changing the sub
stance in the eyes of animals—has beer
made by Professor Michael Guyer, 01
the University of Wisconsin,” said Dr
Harry Beal Torrey, head of the zoologj
department, Wednesday, while speaking
on the subject, “Recent Development)
in Biology” before a meeting of th«
Graduate club at the Anchorage.
This experiment was made, said Dr
Torrey, with rabbits which were imrau
nized by vaccination against the sub
stance with which the eye lenses arc
made. The result of this in future gen
erat.ions of the rabbits was that the
eyes of the young rabbits were changed
and sometimes destroyed.
“The interesting thing to medical
science,” said Dr. Torrey, “is that these
malformations are inherited. We have
here a production of a specific modifi
cation in a heritable form, which is oi
large consequence in furthering med
ical work. It bears especially upon the
question of the inheritance of ‘acquired
characters’.”
Another important discovery in the
field of medical science was cited by
Dr. Torrey as that made by Alexis
Carrel, a member of the staff of medi
cal research of the Rockefeller Insti
tute, who has found that cells taken
from the heart of the embryo of a
young chicken in its early stages before
hatching can be made to live indefi
nitely in an incubator. In this process
the blood plasma, which the cells live
upon, is changed and as the cell tissues
increase in size they are divided in
order that they will not become too
large.
“ Carrel is now experimenting with
the cells which he took from the em
bryo of an egg ten years ago,” said Dr.
Torrey. “and he says that he can keep
on growing them.”
OREGON METHODS NOTED
A request has been received by Al
fred Powers, of the extension division,
from the University of Idaho for in
formation on the methods of distribu
tion and kinds of service given by the
visual instruction department of the
University of Oregon extension divi
sion. The extension division of the
University of Idaho is planning to
establish a visual instruction depart
ment similar to Oregon’s.
Journalists Warned Against
Entering Field Unprepared
“Journalism furnishes a very inviting
field for the young person who has thor
oughly prepared himself for it, but it
ia a dangerous one to enter without
adequate preparation,” said Eric W.
Allen, dean of the school of journalism,
yesterday.
“The man unfitted for the work is
altogether too unlikely to attain the
more profitable and enjoyable positions
in the profession, and to be forced into
a routine position.
“One of the things that makes jour
nalism very attractive as a field for
■work,” Dean Allen went on to say, “is
the very wide influence wielded by the
professional journalist.
“More than any other man he has
the chance to leave the mark of his per
sonality on the community in which he
lives. The influence he wields not only
affects thousands of people but may
endure over many years.
"Oregon of today would not be the
name place had it not been for some of
the early newspaper men, Harvey Scott,
for instance, who ia still a living in
fluence in Oregon today.”
Dean Allen thought that there is
hardly any profession in which success
depends to such a great extent uporf the
fundamental education of the man.
“On the other hand,” the dean added,
“there is hardly a profession in which
a man, whose education is broad and
sound, will find more pleasing and
varied opportunities for exercise of the
abilities his education has developed.”
Because such a broad knowledge of
things is needed, the school of journal
ism refers its students to many other
departments of the University for a
great deal of their training.
Opportunities in the field of journal
ism are very inviting to the young man
or woman just starting out on a profes
sional career. Taken all in all, it also
ranks as one of the best paid of the
professions.
At the present time there are some
30 fields from whieh the trained jour
nalist may choose profitably. They em
brace jobs of the free lanee type, edi
torial positions, foreign posts, manager
ial and advertising places, trade and
class journalism and the teaching of
journalism.
AMENDMENT ASKS
NEW DISTRIBUTION
OF EMERALD FUNDS
Plan Limits Pay of Editor
and Manager; Student
Treasury to Share
COUNCIL CONTROLS MONEY
Growth of University and of
Daily Makes Change
Necessary
' Through the joint action of the pub
| lications committee and the finance
committee of the Executive Council,
the amendment proposed at the student
assembly yesterday morning by Floyd
Maxwell, editor of the Emerald, has
been definitely decided upon as the
• best solution of the proper distribution
of the earnings of the student publica
tion. The rapid growth of the student
body during the past year has made it
imperative that an improved financial
! plan be proposed. Taking cognizance
of this fact, the two committees, after
three lengthy meetings and several
hours of discussion by various mem
bers thoroughly familiar with the situ
ation both from the business stand
point and the editorial aspect, decided
upon the change of system provided
for in the amendment.
■mall Committee Acts
As a result of the discussion in these
meetings, a smaller committee com
posed of Bean Eric Allen of the sehool
of journalism; Karl Onthank, faculty
representative on the finance commit
tee; Floyd Maxwell, editor of the Em
erald and chairman of the publications
committee, and Jack Benefiel, gradu
ate manager, was appointed with full
power to draw up a proper amendment
to be submitted for the approval of the
Student Council and the Executive
Council and afterwards to be proposed
to the associated students.
The proposed amendment, drawn up
by the smaller committee and approved
by the two councils, to be voted upon
at the regular election next Wednesday,
has no significance further than that it
limits the financial remuneration of the
editor and the manager, and provides
a more elaborate system of the distri
bution of the funds from the paper,
should any profits accrue during the
year. Paragraph 3 of section 3 of Art
icle II of the by-laws now carries the
qualification that after the (400 salary
to the editor and manager, each, the
profits shall be divided as follows: SO
per cent to the associated students and
25 per cent eaeh to the editor and the
manager.
Surplus Provided for
Under the proposed amendment the
profits over and above the $400 now
provided for will be divided one-eighth
each to the editor and manager, one
fourth to the improvement of the paper,
and one-half to the treasury of the as
sociated students. This arrangement
ceases automatically at the $1600 mark.
If further profits over $1600 are real
ized, the Executive Council in confer
ence with the publications committee
shall decide upon what apportionment j
shall go to the student treasury and j
what apportionment to the “encourage
ment and reward of effort and achieve-1
ment among the staff.”
The share of the profits up to the i
$1600 mark and whatever further share 1
is proportioned to the Emerald shall be
budgeted and expended only under such
plan and budget as the Executive Coun
cil shall approve after the editor and
the publications committee have sub
mitted a report.
Must Keep Pace with Growth
The committee in submitting the re
port and the amendment for the con
sideration and vote of the associated
students, held that in view of the rapid
growth of the University it was essen
tial that the Emerald keep pace with
that growth and that a wider distribu
tion of the profits in improving the
paper would fill the necessary demand
if the amendment should be adopted
by the students. The full text of the
proposed amendment is printed in an
other column of this issue exactly as
it will be placed upon the ballot at the
election.

This afternoon at 3 o ’clock Coach
Bill Hayward will start running off the
preliminaries to the big inter-ograniza
tion track meet to be staged on Hay
ward field Saturday afternoon. Bill
issued out the individual numbers for
the tracksters last night and he wants
them to be on hand today with these
: numbers on their suits.
As things now stand, the preliminar
ies will be almost as big an event as the
meet itself. At present there are 20
men out for the 100-yard dash, 12 out
for the mile, 18 for the 22C-yard dash,
8 for the 120-yard high hurdles, 18 for
the 440-yard dash, 12 for the 220-yard
low hurdles, 18 for the half mile, 7 for
the pole vault, 17 for the shot put, 18
for the broad jump, 15 for the discus,
14 for the high jump, 13 for the jave
lin, and 11 half-mile relay teams com
posed of four men each.
Of course the tryouts this afternoon
will greatly reduce this number, but it
insures a full bill in every contest for
the meet. Bill says that it is going to
be “some meet.” All he is worried
about now is the weather, and about
spectators coming out on the field to
get a better view. He promises that
there will be plenty of marshals to put
the intruders off, but he would rather
have the cooperation of the students.
In this way the whole affair can be run
off at a faster clip, and no one will
feel hurt.
Official programs are being gotten
out by the athletic department to be
broadcasted over the eampus. Provid
ing that it does not rain too much be
tween now and tomorrow, the track
will be in ship shape for good records.
The various places for the field events
within the oval have been improved,
and score boards will be placed at eaeh
of these to enable spectators to see
what is going on at all times at the
pits. In addition to these, there will
be a big score board placed where ali
can see it, on which the standings of
the different teams will be kept up
with the meet at all times. In this
way the announcer will save most of
his wind, and students will be posted at
all times.
SWEETSERS TO MAKE TRIP
Botanist and Wife to View Southern
Oregon Wild Flowers
Professor and Mrs. A. R. Sweetser
will leave Friday or Saturday for a
three or four weeks’ trip through
southern Oregon where Mr. Sweetser,
head of the botany department, will do
some field work. They are making the
trip by automobile to Orants Pass and
over the mountains to Kerby.
“This region is one of the best bo
tanical sections of Oregon,” said Mr.
Sweetser. “I have always wanted to
visit that part of the country but have
never been able before. It is better
to make the trip in spring, for in July
after school is out, the flowers are
gone.”
POISON OAK OASES FEW
In spite of expectations that many
cases of poison oak would come as a
result of the wonderful spring weather
of last week-end, there have been very
few cases reported to the dispensary
and infirmary in the last three days.
Nnrses say that there is less sickness
now than there has been for some time.
ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Berger, of 1570
Pearl street, have announced the en
gagement of their daughter, Corbina,
to Dan E. Lyons, of Oregon City. Mr.
Lyons is a sophomore in the school of
journalism. No definite date has been
set for the wedding.

Two Games Scheduled for Week-end
Tangle with Columbia; Babes
to See League Tilt
The freshman baseball team, com
posed of 13 players, and accompanied
by Coach Shy Huntington and Manager
Pat Irelan left last night for Port
land where they will tangle with Co
lumbia university in two games this
week-end. These games are the return
games for the two played by Columbia
hero two weeks ng®, the first of which
the frosh won by 7 to 5, but the second
resulted in a slaughter for Columbia,
the final score being 23 to 8.
The men making the trip are Brana
man. Skinner, Brooks and Easterday as
pitchers; Cook and Orr, catchers; Bur
ton, Vester, Sullivan and Troutman, in
fielders, and Haynes, King and Hard
ing, outfielders. These men have been
playing regularly all season and all
deserve the trip.
The plan at present is to play this
afternoon and Saturday morning if
possible, thus giving the frosh a chance
to see the Coast league game between
Seattle and Portland in the afternoon,
said Shy.
Shy was undecided as to who would
start the games but it will probably be
either Skinner or Brannman in the
pitcher’s box, with Cook or Orr re
ceiving. Hicks, the Columbia twirler,
should hold the yearlings to a small
score if he is going as good as he did
down here.
FOREIGN STUDENTS FROLIC
Native Dances, Games and Movies to Be
Featured at Party Tonight
Dances and games of their native
countries will be the features at the
party for foreign students to be held
in the Y. M. C. A. hut this evening.
Several of the Filipino boys will dance,
and it is possible that there will also
be an East Indian dance on the pro
gram.
Several reels of motion pictures will
be shown, including a feature play and
news reel.
Eats, plenty of them, and a jolly good
time for all is promised to those who
come.

Much Eulogistic Oratory Let
Loose in Providing Flying
Start at Political Hurdle;
Week of Vote-Gathering on
Amid' bursts of oratory seldom
equaled in campus circles, in which im
promptu lawyers, varsity debaters, em
bryo glee club songsters and campus
journalists participated, the annual
nomination assembly passed into history
yesterday for another year. Dark
horses developed and enough surprises
were sprang to satisfy the plebeian
throngs on the main floor of the as
sembly hall and in the suspended bal
conies, for many days to come. And
with the close of the meeting, the tor
rid week of political maneuvering
which will culminate in the annual elec
tion was begun.
Two days of grace are granted by
the A. 8. IT. O. constitution in which
further aspirations may be satisfied by
the filing of further nominations by
petition, but it is not thought probable
that the privilege will be used to any
great extent.
Three Without Opposition
As yet, however, there are no con
tests lined up for secretary of the A.
8. IT. O., man representative for a two
year term on the executive council, and
yell king. Petitions must be signed by
50 students to enter any further candi
dates, and must be officially submitted
to the A. 8. U. O. secretary, Helen Car
son, before midnight tomorrow night.
Thirty-five candidates are in the race
for the 15 offices to be filled.
The last moment developments con
sisted in one additional candidate for
senior representative on the Student
Council, in Dorothy Cash; four candi
dates for junior representative on the
Council, as follows: Hal Berry, Alfred
Erickson, Pat Irelan and Jack Myers,
and one additional candidate for sopho
more representative on the Council, in
Chappy King.
No Candidate Withdraws
No withdrawals or reversals of de
cisions took place, and the entire list
as it has been announced day by day
as the campaign has rapidly progressed
was nominated in glowing eulogies by
enthusiastic orntors. The assembly hall
was crowded to overflowing, and in
tense excitement manifested in the out
breaks of class yells and applanse at
the least provocation indicated the in
terest which has developed during the
past few days in the coming election
of A. 8. U. O. officers.

Pistol Fire Barrage Lays Low
Winner ot Girl’s Affections
Just a few minutes before 6 o’clock
last night, when the Campa Shoppe was
filled with students, an irate man wild
ly rushed into the place, accured Helen
Carson of a sudden transference of af
fections, and then in a heated alterca
tion fired three shots at the identical
portion of space occupied by Curly
Lawrence, who attended Miss Carson.
The man who wielded the wicked gun
was Ogden Johnson.
Johnson, after speaking to Miss Car
son in a vituperative manner, called
Lawrence names which are not usually
printed. It is believed that both men
reached for the places where their ar
tillery was parked simultaneously, but
Johnson laid down bis barrage first—
a barrage of three shots which, accord
ing to a physician who was present to
take an inventory of the amount of
lead absorbed by the vietim, may mean
soft music for Lawrenee.
Junt before the tragedy, witnessed
by nearly a hundred students who were
in the Campa Shop for their evening
meals, an enterprising reporter inter
viewed the man who was to be the vic
tim of the wicked weapon wielded by
Johnson. Mr. Lawrence confided to
the extractive reporter that he was to
be slain by a person who was insanely
jealous. lie was not certain about the
j size of the gun with which he was to
be punctured.
After the shooting, witnessed by
| nearly a hundred students, Lawrence
i was rushed to the hospital or to the
j undertaking parlors. It was not learned
at a late hoar last night whether he
was still on earth.
The case will be tried in the moot
court on May 13. This will be the
first murder case tried by the student
lawyers. LeRoy Anderson will prose
cute the case, while “Duke” Howard
will appear for the defense.
