Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XX111. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1922 NUMBER 133 CARNIVAL OF COLOR TO BE OFFERED IN CANOE FETE FRIDAY Seventeen Floats Will Take Water Above Anchorage at 8:30 P. M. NEW BLEACHERS READY Structure Put Up by Junior Class Provides for 1500 An array of gorgeous and luxuriant beauty destined to rival the decorative effects of Portland’s Rose Festival and Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses is predicted to amaze the throngs which will crowd the banks of the mill race Friday night, May 19, for the annual Junior Week-end canoe carnival. Such a galaxy of floats as has never before passed in review in Eugene is said by those supervising construction to be nearing readiness for the display. Seventeen floats will take the water and, enhanced by lighting effects from both banks, will pass in review down the race. New Plan Satisfactory “All is set for the fete,” announced Harold Simpson, director of the event. “Organizations are working hard to have their entries ready for Friday night. Though there are fewer entries this year than in previous years, there is no doubt that what the fete lacks in numbers, it will make up in quality. The new scheme of combining organ izations in producing one float seems to be working out nicely. Everyone seems satisfied, since no complaints have been heard.” The bleachers which have been con structed by the junior class will be used for the first time Friday night. The class has put in much concentrated labor to erect seats which may be used in future years. The bleachers are to be set aside for the use of students, their guests, and the townspeople. The structure will accommodate 1500 per sons. One section of 600 will be spe cially reserved to be sold to the people of Eugene. The seats in this section are numbered, and people will have to hold tickets for their individual seats in this half of the bleachers. The other half of the bleachers will be set aside for the use of students and their guests, 500 for the former and 400 for the latter. There are no reserved seats in this section. Admission charge to the reserved section will be 75 cents, and for the unreserved section 25 cents. Students desiring reserved seats may obtain them at Kuykendall’s Drug Store. The sale starts at 10 this morning. Student tickets are on sale at the Co-op. Regulations Are Stated “I wish to call special attention to the regulations which must be observed regarding the seating of spectators in the bleachers,” said Harold Simpson yesterday. The student section may be entered only from the east end of the bleachers, and the reserved section only from the west end. It will be impossible to admit anyone into the reserved section after 8:15 o’clock. The lights will be shut off then for the start of the parade. Entries Must Be Prompt “I also wish to urge entries to be at the start at the bend above the old military bridge' on time. The lineup will be in alphabetical order of the women’s organizations with Alpha Chi « (Continued on page three.) Unruly Frosh To Meet Fate This Morning For failure to wear the diminutive green chapeaux, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Holy Varsitae, seven frosh will meet in front of Library today at 10:30 to act in the capacity of parties of the first part in demonstrating the efficacy of the paddle wielded by members of the Order of the O. One other frosh will rally with his cohorts in misery for the reason that he un wittingly wore a tuxedo to a mere tea. For the former offense, the follow ing freshmen have been duly noti fied and will report this morning at the Library: Donovan Knapp, Dell Tedrow, Dudley Hill, Harry Meyer, Ed Miller, Alva Adkinson, Stewert SawtelL The offending wearer of the tux edo, Frank Wright, will also be on hand. COL. LEADER WILL SPEAK EX-UNIVERSITY MILITARY HEAT TO ADDRESS ASSEMBLY Wide Experience and Irish Wit Wei Known; Topic for Address Not Yet Announced Colonel John Leader is with us again The father of the University R. O. T C.—for it was through his untiring ef forts that the officers’ training school reached the highest degree of perfec tion—is back after an extensive touj of the Antipodes, and tomorrow we will hear the colonel at assembly. For those who do not know Colonel Leader, it might be well to tell briefly the career of one of the best friends the University has ever had. Colonel Leader organized and led the 16th Royal Irish Rifles during the early part of the world war. At the battle of the Somme the battalion was almost entirely wiped out. During the war he was wounded and was retired from active duty. He came to the University in De cember, 1917, and took charge of the Officers’ Training School. His record was a brilliant one and many of the men who served under him here made names for themselves in other branches of the service. No Matter What Topic It was a year ago that the campus last saw Colonel Leader, and during that time he has lost not a bit of that Irish humor. When asked what his topic for assembly would be, he replied: “I haven’t decided yet, but it may be a mixture of Demosthenes and Ci cero.” Colonel Leader hardly ever selects a topic until the time of the address, and when he does, he does not always follow it. The Colonel mixes good natured humor, a highly educated mind, and a broad experience, gained by much travel, into an address which> gives the audience an hour of clean entertain ment and also some message to take away and think over. The former University commandant returns to this country greatly im pressed by the athletic spirit that pre vails in Australia. Great Land for Sports “They play more games in Australia than elsewhere,” he said, “and they are sound and sensible games. They derive an education from their games. They learn initiative, self-control, and teamwork. The Austrlaians do not specialize on any one branch of ath letics. There is no starring in the games. They think of the development of brain and body more than the win ning of games. “It is an exception for a man under 50 not to be still playing at least four games. The major sports of Australia (Continued on page four.) Trained, Scientific Workers Needed in Physical Education "One of the greatest needs of the field of physical education is for tranied, scientific workers,” said Dr. John Bovard, dean of the school of physical education. “Physical educa tion is a scientific field, and we need people who will advance this science, study its laws, and work out its stan dards, for it is still a pioneer field.” The school of physical education at the University is organized with four distinct departments: physical educa tion for women and for men, intercol legiate athletics, and the University health service. A department of phys io-therapy is being worked up and will be continually improved, and equip ment bought. Each one of these de partments is presided over by a director with the exception of the intercolle giate athleties department. While these four departments are distinct, they are all one so far as the faculty, the school as a whole, and teachers’ training is concerned. “The teachers’ training course has as its aim the training of the highest type of educators in college and uni versity physical education instruction, directors of high school physical edu cation; of athletics and coaches in the various sports, and of community and playground supervisors,” said Dr. Bo vard. The first two years of the course are based on fundamentals, with a sound training in the sciences, so that in the advanced years work can be taken up which is based on the ele mentary courses. These foundation courses are similar to the pre-medic courses and give the student a thor ough understanding of anatomy, physi ology, bacteriology and hygiene. The upper division courses are so arranged that the student can take technical (Continued on page four.) MR.BARRETT’S TALK TONIGHT TO BE ON AMERICA’S OUTLOOK Government Counsellor Will Address Students and Faculty Members SPEAKER FORMER EDITOR Authority on All International Affairs Will Arrive in Eugene Today The Honorable John Barrett, govern ment counsellor in international af fairs, will address students and mem bers of the faculty this evening at 8 o’clock in Villard hall on the subject of “America’s New Outlook.” Mr. ; Barrett, ex-director-general of the Pan 1 American Union in Washington, was ! formerly United States minister to j Siam, Panama, Colombia and Argen I tina, and has been a member of vari ous international conferences. He comes to the campus from Portland where he spoke before the chamber of commerce on Monday. “Japan,” said Mr. Barrett in his Portland address, “with perfect right is making a mighty effort to gain and hold first position. The progress she is making in establishing steamship lines to all points on the Pacific is re markable and is attracting the atten tion of the best commercial experts of thp world. She is going to enter com petition with us in the matter of trade with Europe. Japan is gaining power as a shipping nation.” Former Telegram Editor Mr. Barrett is a former resident of Oregon and held the position of associ ate editor on the Portland Telegram from 1890 to 1894. “Our shipping has grown from al most nothing, prior to the war,” said the speaker, “to great proportions. When the Armistice was signed, and since then, it has been a matte rof great pride for Americans to see mer chant ships now flying our flag. “But with all our development we are faced with a great and immediate danger. It is almost the unanimous opinion of the best shipping, economic and commercial experts, uninfluenced by politics, that in another ten years the merchant fleet flying the Ameri can flag will have practically disap peared from both the Pacific and At lantic unless extraordinary and even heroic steps are taken by the govern ment to protect American shipping in terests through necessary legislation. “It behooves all to get behind this proposed legislation and see that our ships remain on the high seas.” University to Grant Degree Mr. Barrett has made the trip to the coast to receive from the University of Southern California, some weeks ago, a degree, of doctor of laws. He is making a speaking tour of the coast. (Continued on page four.) TWO GAME SERIES WITH WHITMAN TO OPEN TODAY Varsity Broke Even with College on Northern Trip; Missionaries Divide Games with O. A. C. At 4 o’clock this afternoon the Whitman college nine will open a two game series with the varsity on Ceme tery Bidge. Coach “Nig” Borleske is bringing his Missionaries into the val ley for a five-game trip, having played a series with the Aggies Monday and Tuesday in which they broke even. The visiting coach intends starting Sherwood in today’s contest and will likely pitch Knudsen tomorrow. On the northern trip the Varsity broke even with the Whitman nine, dropping the first game of that series and winning the final game of the series, and the trip behind Gray’s pitching 5-4. With games coming with the Oregon Aggies Friday and Satur day, Coach Bohler will be hard put for moundmen and may use Latham and Collins in the Whitman series. The Varsity should have better than an even break with Whitman and with a minimum of errors should be able to take the series. Bill Sorsby, stellar outfielder, and Dinty Moore, short stop, are suffering from injuries and may not break into the play. It is likely that Coach Bohler will use most of the squad during the four games to be played this week. The pitcher who will start for Oregon today is uneer-; tain but it is likely that Wright, Bingle or Baldwin will mount the mound in the opener today. Britton, who has umpired for the Varsity before and who was formerly connected with the I Y. M. C. A., will umpire. VARSITY CHANCES FOR WIN AGAINST Victor of Dual Meet Will Be Strong Contender for Northwest Honors WALKLEY IN BETTER SHAPE Dope Points to Victory if Sprints Are Captured by Oregon Stars With the most important dual meet of the northwest season scheduled for Hayward field Saturday afternoon as the big athletic attraction for Junior Week-end, intorest is running high in local athletic circles as to its outcome, for the winner of the University of Wasliington-University of Olregon track contest will have to be consid ered as the potential winner of tho Pacific Coast Northwest conference meet to be held in Seattle, May 27. Although the Aggies trimmed the Oregon squad in Corvallis last Satur day, it will be a stronger team that faces the Purple and Gold on Hayward field. Weber will be in shapo for tho hurdles, according to present indica tions, which should make quite a dif ference in the Lemon Yellow’s scoring. Rosenburg in Better Shape Also Rosenburg and “Speed” Peltier, both of whom were severely handi capped in the Aggie meet by strained leg muscles, will be in far better shape to compete against Hec Edmundsen’s talent. Further, Captain Walkley, who placed third in the mile at Corvallis, after two collegians had beat him to the tape, should be able to win this event this week. Last Saturday, while the Varsity was going down to defeat at the hands of the Ags through a general upheaval of dope and a combination of major injuries, and inability to annex many second and third places, the Washing ton squad was taking the W. 8. C. Cougars to a decisive walloping to the tune of 93-38. This, taken together with the fact that a week previous the Washington Staters mopped the ground with University of Idaho tracksters, and the fact that neither the Univer sity of California nor Stanford is en tering a team in the Seattle event, points to stiff competition in the con ference meet between the Ags, Oregon and Washington. And with Oregon delivering in the hurdles and the jave lin, a long shade is conceded the Var sity over the collegians. Sprints Draw Interest Much light will bo thrown on this year’s conference champs by the man ner in which Larson and Oberteuffer handle the dashes against Vic Hurley, the crack Purple and Gold Speedster. Both Larson and Obie, winners of the century and the 220 at Corvallis last week, beat the time that Hurley made against the Staters in those events, and the Oregon men ran on a dirt path while Hurley performed on tho cinder speedway in the Seattle Stadium. Last year it was Max Snoon who ran Hurley the close race in the Pacific Coast conference meet, but with tho O. A. C. sprinter finishing a poor third Saturday, things look brighter for the Oregon dashmen, although Hurley will be a bad man to beat, as he has re peatedly in previous years clipped off, the century in 9:4 while the best that Larsen has been able to hang up of ficially is 10 flat. Oregon Chances Good If the sprints can be tucked safely away, Oregon’s chances look very bright for victory for Spearow’s two firsts in the pole vault and in the. broad jump were not equaled by the winners in the northern meet, and Spearow should do as well or better against the Sun Dodgers. Scotty Strachan, with Gus Pope missing from the Huskie lineup, should be able to hang up an easy first with the shot, j Scotty’s performance excelled the Washington heave of last week by a foot. The relay team which sprang a sur prise by trimming the farmer four by a 20-yard lead Saturday, should be able to repeat against the Washington crew by all the indications available this season. Sundeleaf Running Good Race In the 440 which Sundeleaf won handily against the Aggies, there will be some keen competition in the person of Douglas, who won for the Sun Dodgers last year. Although Dick’s time Saturday was not quite up to that stepped off by Douglas last year in the Pacific Coast meet, Sundeleaf is (Continued on page two.) STUDENT BODY DANCE SLATED FOR TOMORROW Junior Class Sponsor for Affair to Help Defray Week-end Costs; Many Preppers Expected The big student body dance, spon sored by the junior class, and which has so long been postponed, will be held ; tomorrow night in the Woman’s build ing. The dance will be a grand open ing to Junior Week-end festivities, as | many of the preppers will arrive i Thursday and an effort is being made to secure dates for them. Admission will be 75 cents and danc ing will begin promptly at 8:30. Bill McBride's orchestra, composed of Ted Osburn, Lee Webber, Prentiss Gross, Ray Graham, and Bill himself, will play, so excellent music is assured, and a good time promised the visiting high school students. The dance will help to “put over” Junior Week-end, preparing everyone for more big events to follow. Pro ceeds will go to the junior class.

Checking of the student's record is made, counting the work ho is now carrying, assuming that he will receive a passing mark. Tho deficiencies are often only one or two hours of the major subject, military science, physi cal education, or an uncompleted lan guage requirement. EJ.H. Sees Morale in Orchestra; Calls Pop Concert Huge Success /" _ By E. J. H. ' The “Pop” concert given last night in Villard hall was very much of a success. The more one hears of the orchestra the more one thinks that there is something to this “morale” that Mr. Charles Alexander spoke of. I’m sure I don’t entirely understand just what Mr. Alexander meant by that word; but if he refers to team work, a sense of laboring together to achieve some definite object, a sense of personal sacrifice, then I can see it in the orchestra. A better organ ization of this kind never came to Eugene. If it were labeled and adver tised as “direct from Chicago, 32 weeks solid in Bcappoose, and an en tire season in Ban Francisco,” and a whale of a price charged, we’d never know the difference. The program consisted of three or chestrated pieces, piano solos by George Hopkins, and vocal solos by Madame Rose MeGrew. Tlie orchestra selections were unusually good, and executed with a sense of sureuoss that has marked all the recent perform ances of this organization. “Gavotte and Mmuitte” particularly appealed. A : great work must have gone into | it to give the effect of simpleness and ; ease that marked its rendition. Some | of us musical lowbrows begin to sus i pect that the pieces marked by a huge : crash and blare of brass may not be as hard to do as the ones that sound easy and uncomplicated. The ballet music from Faust went , off with a great deal of force. Back in our frosh days we remember the dim outlines of the “turriblo” tale of this follow Faust, who sold his soul to the devil. The music, evidently, is to interpret this “strong stuff.” Just at what point in the music Faust went to the dogs—beg pardon, devil—I (Continued on page two.)
