NUMBER 127
Bear Cats to be Met Next Week
In Practice Games; Idaho
April 27 and 28
FIRST CUT TO COME SOON
Prospects Bright For Pellet
Smashing Nine; Shields
Bids For Twirler
Taking advantage of the favorable
weather this week, Coach Bohler is
driving the varsity and frosh ball tos
sers hard in order to make up for the
time wasted during the vacation week
when Jupe Pluvius frustrated all at
tempts to practice. With the first
games of the season against Willamette
less than a week off, April 20 and 21,
the varsity nine has little time to get
in good shape.
The games with Willamette are only
practice affairs and will not count in
the conference standings. The first
conference tilts for the Lemon-Yellow
are billed for the next week, April 27
and 28, when the Idaho Vandal nine
will invade the campus.
Squad numbers forty
As yet the squad numbers over forty
men but Coach Bohler intends to re
duce the number as soon as he can get
a line on the best material in order to
handle practices more efficiently. Due
to the fact that he is coaching both
the freshmen and the varsity tossers
this spring, Bohler has had to dash
back and forth between Cemetarv
Bulge and the barrack’s sandlot in
order to keep in touch with both
spuads.
With the squads reduced, he hopes
to work them both on the same dia
mond and probably play them against
each other in practice games. The
diamond on the Ridge is not leveled off
but probably will be completed before
the week is over. So far the workouts
have been filled out mainly by batting
and fielding practices, but it is ex
pected that some practice tilts will be
held next week.
Latham to Play First
In the practice this week big Hunk
Latham has beep cavorting around
first base and it looks as if that will be
his permanent place during the coming
season. Ward Johnson is also being
used on the first sack to some extent,
and it may be that he will take a turn
there. Jimmy Ross, Dinty Moore, Carl
Svarvarude, Earl Schafer, Troutman
and Jrice Sullivan are fighting it out
for the other positions i n the infield.
Just who will be the favored ones is as
yet too early in the season to predict.
For the outfield, Bill Sorsby, Lynn
Boycroft, and Don Zimmerman have the
edge, although there are a number of
other possibilities, including Brooks, of
last year’s frosh nine, Hal Chapman,
and several others. Brooks also may
be used in the box, as he performed
creditably as a hurler in a game or
two last year.
Shields Turns Out To Fitch
The pitching staff was increased the
other day when Tiny Shields of foot
ball fame turned out with the intention
of putting in a bid for one of the
twirling berths. Tiny has been a win
ning pitcher in the dough-nut league
during the past two years besides hurl
ing a number of games for amateur
mines during his summer) vacations.
He may bolster the staff considerably.
Lefty Baldwin, Phil Ringle, Art Skin
ner, Bill Collins and Doug Wright are
the other pitching aspirants, although

TWO OREGON MEN
SHIP TO ORIENT
Trip Will Be Completed
Early in July
Somewhere out on the bosom of the
vast Pacific the steamer Pawlette is
churning her way to the Orient. Per
haps this has no special significance to
the Pawlette, as she is ever chugging
to various ports in the world. It is,
however, of great significance to two
young men who are probably leaning
over the bulwarks, watching the waves
scud by, and dreaming of “those days
at Oregon.”
Love of adventure and travel caused
Delbert Hill and Roy Norton, of Kappa
Delta Phi fraternity, to ship on the
big freighter, bound for Yokahama,
Manila and Hongkong, ports bustling
with life and interest.
The cruise will last about 80 days,
and sometime in early July two young
men, bronzed by the wind and sun of
the China sea, will swagger up the
dock in approved seagoing fashion,
happy in the thought that they have
seen some of the old world and have
crossed the largest expanse of water
known.
FRDNZALEY QUARTET
HRS WORLD-WIDE FAME
Famous Musicians Win Friends
In All Parts of Country
Fresh from triumphs in a hundred towns
and college communities in all parts of
the country, the Flonzaley quartet of
international fame will play before a
| Eugene and University of Oregon aud
I ience Tuesday evening in the Methodist
J church auditorium at 8 o ’clock. The
! Flonzaley quartet has a reputation which
secures most of its time nearer to the
world music centers. Students will be
| admitted to the concert Tuesday evening
upon presentation of their student tickets.
In the course of their many trips about
the country, the members of the famous
quartet have made very many and dear
I friends. The following story is told of
I the quartet, illustrating the esteem in
which they are held by their fellow Amer
ican musicans:
Last Christmas, Adolfo Betti, of the
Flonzaley quartet, found among his gifts
a small manuscript written for the vio
lin. It was beautifully done in ink, by
hand, and at the top was the dedication,
“To Adolfo Betti” from Charles San
ford Skilton. #
Mr. Betti took in the general idea of
the manuscript at a glance. It has a
strange appearance to his practiced eye.
There was no development of melody,
there were Strang pauses, and quite sud
denly there wouldn’t be any music at
all, just bars and rests.
Knowing the established reputation of
Mr. Skilton as a leading member of the
faculty of the school of fine arts at the
University of Kansas, Mr. Betti decided
that this was intended as a joke, only—
he couldn’t see the joke. He stuffed the
manuscript into his pocket, however,
thinking to show it to his colleagues.
Perhaps they might prove more astute
than he and see the point.
No sooner had he arrived at rehearsal
than Mr. Pochon drew from his pocket
a manuscript which looked the exact
counterpart of Betti’s. Just then, Bailly
and d’Archambea arrived, and in their
hands they each held a manuscript which
they had Been comparing.
“What does it mean?” “This doesn’t
make sense.” “It looks futuristic,” ex
claimed all three men to Mr. Betti, voic
ing their appeal to the recognized head of
the quartet.
But a light had dawned suddenly upon
Betti. “Why, it’s our separate parts,”
he said. “Skilton has written a quartet
for us.” And as he looked at the dif
ferent parts, his skilled eye took it all
in. “It’s a fugue. Come, let’s try it
out.”

Test by Geology Class Shows
Sample Rocks Not Meteorite
Analysis of mineral, purported to be
fragments of the meteorite which re
cently struck earth in the vicinity of
Redmond in eastern Oregon, was made
yesterday by the geology class in strati
graphy. The report of the four mem
bers of the class, all seniors in the depart
ment of geology, is that the fragments
are speciments of the country rock, in
stead of being parts of the visitor from
the depths of space which crashed to the
earth with an explosion heard two miles
distant and broke a window in a house
near the place where it fell.
The bits of rock, sent to Dr. Earl L.
Packard of the geology department by
Dean Pollock of the Redmond high school
faculty, show signs of weathering and
contain secondary minerals. According
to members of the stratigraphy class
composed of Hally Berry, Homer Wise
Simon Muller and Karl Von der Ahe,
these characteristics would eliminate the
mineral from the meteor class.
Mr. Pollock believes the meteor fell ir
the place where the fragments were col
lected, but in his letter points out that
I the" specimens were very much like the
| shatterd lava rock outcropping in that
| place.
Although Mr. Pollock, who is a science
teacher in the Redmond school, is posi
tive that the meteor struck the earth,
some of the student geologists suggest
there is a possibility that the fiery visi
j tor exploded into tiny fragments before
reaching the ground. When traveling
' through the atmosphere at great speed,
air friction would have caused the ex
! terior part of the meteor to expand more
| rapidly than the center, resulting in a
disintegration of the mass.
The detonation heard by the Redmond
1 people, reported in Portland papers on
April 6, and the breaking of the window
; would have been caused by the explosion
Mr. Pollock thinks it likely that the body
was entirely consumed by the heat of the
! impact.
The bits of mineral sent the geology
department are greyish in color and
crumble easily when touched. By rub
bing between the fingers, the rock can
| be. reduced to a fine powder.
Speaker Sees Progress in
Instruction Methods of
Past and Present
iTHOREAU GIVES iSUBJECT
Wide Development of Mind
and Body is Wanted;
Old Ideas Change
Education as our grandfathers knew
it, with its emphasis on the old ideas of
the past, was contrasted with the new
forward-looking education, which helps
men out of ruts, by Babbi Jonah B.
Wise, of the temple Beth Israel, who
spoke to the University students at
the first assembly of the new term held
yesterday in Villard Hall.
Babbi Wise had for his topic “A
Sunday with Thoreau,” taking as his
subject matter, a volume by Thoreau
on “A Week on the Merrimac and
Concord Bivers.” This Sunday spent
with Thoreau is one of deep self-crit
icism. There was a time when educa
tion meant pressing back into the past.
It used to be the aim of all education,
according to Babbi Wise, td make
young people old in knowledge, to
put on their shoulders the weight of
years, and to hold them down to cold,
dry facts, conc'ernittg things which
were of no interest to them. “Today
however,” he said, “it gives us the
idea of not only an outline of the
past, but a thorough knowledge of the
present and an idea of the future. It
makes us more bouyant, more youthful
ind individualistic.
Feeling Follows Thinking
“We have come to ‘the knowledge
that all feeding must result from one’s
environment of thinking,” he contin
ued, “knowing well what he knows as
Thoreau expresses it, ‘not quessing,
but calculating.” Education should
make us see the chance of getting out
of the rut, of standing erect and look
ing over the walls of oblivion.
There may be a ranger of our becom
ing over-civilized the speaker believes.
Borne men know so much and become
so inventive that their physical bodies
oecome neglected. We still need rough
abor and rough play to counteract the
jffects of too much study, he said.
3ur greatest danger however, according
lo Babbi Wise, lies in a too narrow
development. We place too much em
phasis on prejudices, superstitions of
she past. It is the< work of faculties
soday to make channels for new ways
>f thinking, not to repeat old ideas.
‘We have inherited a inass of ideas”
le continued, “and should not destroy
;hese, but the power should be given us
)f selecting for ourselves the best that
;s in them.
Lighting Is Symbol
In the days of our grandfathers, the
>nly system of lighting was by candles,
ind in an old book of my great-great
jrandfather’s I find a reference to
:andles as a most brilliant light—on©
in which the finest print may be read,
out in comparison to our modern system
of lighting it seems a very dim illum
ination.” Thus, he pointed out the prog
•ess of lighting is a symbol of the ad
vance of the human race along the lines
of education and religion. While we may
seem to have reached the pinnacle of
rnowledge now, he said our light will
ieem very dim to those who go ahead
usd it is for us to do our pqrt in
naking our generation one of broad and
rdcanced thinking.
LIBRARY HAS NEW SYSTEM
Messengers Will Call For Books When
Borrowers Ignore Notices
A new system for getting books re
;urned to the library was devised near
;he close of last term, when it was
lecided to have a messenger call at the
romes of persons who had been noti
ced but failed to return borrowed books,
[t has been the custom of the library in
:he past to call or notify by card any
oerson having a book which is needed
’or reserve or for some special pur
pose. Anyone so notified is expected
o return the book at once, in aceord
wce with library rules.
It was found that in order to have
oooks placed where they could be of
service to the greatest number of
people, some sort of messenger service
vas necessary. Officials say that pos
sibly in the future persons who have
seen notified to bring in a book and
fail to do so will be charged for the
fee incurred by the sending of the mes
senger after the book. Students are
requested bj* the library staff members
of the circulation and reserve depart
ments to cooperate with them in getting
books back to the library.

I Putnam Resigns as Head
Of Y. M.; Goes to Portland
Secretary Accepts Position on Staff tff Presby
terian Church; Advisory Body Praises
Work While on Campus
I
General Secretary L. P. Putnam of the
campus Y. M. C. A. presented, by proxy,
his written resignation to the Advisory
Board of the local organization at its
special meeting at the Anchorage last
night. The board accepted his resigna
tion to take effect May 1, with many ex
pressions of regret that he found it ad
visable to take this step. Mr. Putnam
has accepted a place on the staff with
Dr. H. L. Bowman, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Portland. It has
been known for some time by a few on
the Y. M. C. A. board that his services
were desired by the Portland organi
zation.
Officers Regret Resignation
Officers of the Y. M. C. A., as well
as faculty members of the board present
at the meeting were of the opinion that
the “Y” work had been steadily pro
gressing under Mr. Putnam’s direction
and that he was leaving the work in stable
condition with additional plans laid for
forward movements.
“It was with real regret that we heard
of the resignation of Mr. Putnam as
general secretary of the Young Men’s
Christian association,” said Henry Kar
penstein, president of the organization
when interviewed last night. “He has
placed the student association on a much
sounder and more efficient basis than
here-to-fore, leaving the Y. M. C. A.
far better organized and able to carry
on its work than ever before. Mr. Put
nam has won for himself especially a real
and large place in the hearts of all of
us who were associated with him in “Y”
work. We truly appreciate his great
service to the many students whom he
<i>
lias reached in his work as student sec
retary here on our campus.”
Work is Commended
“It is with a great deal of regret that
his resignation was accepted by the Ad
visory Board tonight,” said M. H. Doug
lass, chairman of the Y. M. C. A. Ad
visory Board last night. “He has work
ed quietly and effectively and he is leav
ing the work in much better condition
than it has been for a good while. Stu
dents are better organized to carry on
than ever before. Thg position mads
vacant by Mr. Putnam will not be filled
before some time in the summer. Every
effort will be made to secure the best
possible man available for the position.”
With the need of immediate aetion
facing the Advisory Board, M. H. Doug
lass, president of the board, was in
structed by it to appoint a committee
to investigate and submit a plan where
by the vacancy can be filled temporarily
for the rest of the school year. Prof.
P. 8. Dunn, H. Jl. Douglass and Karl
Onthank were appointed on this com
mittee and asked to present their decision
at the May meeting of the Advisory
Board.
Students to Carry on Work
Officers of the Y. M. C, A. at the
meeting last night were of the opinion
that they could, with advisory assistance
and part time student help, carry on the
work of the organization during the
months of May and Juno. In the mean
time steps will be taken by religious de
nominations interested in the church co
operative movement among students, if

Kappa in Pacific coast colleges in ad
dition to the one being installed at
Oregon. They are at the University of
Washington, Whitman college, .Univer
sity of California, Stanford university
and Pomona college.
A dinner will bo held in Hendricks
hall at 6 o’clock followed by a recep
tion in Alumni hall of the Woman’s
building. The complete program for
the installation has not been given out

PINOCHLE TOURNAMENT
DRAWS TOWARD CLOSE
Nine Out of Twenty-seven Entrants
Survive For Semi-Finals; Race
Began Last Term
Nine participants in the G. and M.
society tournament remains out of 27
entrants. The semifinals of the con
test begin this week with Jack Beck,
Ian Campbell, Reginald Hunt, George
Houck, Edd Haney, Karl Vonderahe,
Hon Zimmerman, Glenn Walkley and
John Homewood, shuffling the cards.
Each of these players will play three
mutches of three games each. The
three winners will then fight out the
race for pinochle championship.
The tournament was begun last term.
Thousands of points were won and lost
in the hundred games played.
Four of the survivors of the contest
are geologists. The pre-medical majors
number three and threaten to give keen
competition to the artists. The chem
istry department and the business ad
ministration department each have one
representative who offers opposition to
the competitors.
The final match of the tournament,
so rumor has it, will be staged in the
men’s gymnasium on the night of the
junior prom so that those lucky enough
not to secure dates for the dance will
be furnished amusement.
