NUMBER 144 VARSITY BATSMEN MEET PACIFIC IN HAND GAME TODAY Visitors Believed Equals Of Oregon Team in Offensive And Defensive INJURIES WEAKEN SQUAD Both Outfield and Infield Hit Hard in Practice; Many On Crippled List By Monte Byers The varsity ended preparatory work for the Pacific series last night with a snappy workout against the freshman squad. Injuries sustained during the past week have caused a considerable change in the personnel of the first string lineup and it will be a patched up squad that Captain Zimmerman will lead on the field to face the tossers from Forest Grove this afternoon. The infield was hit hardest, Boss and Shafer being on the crippled list. In last night’s workout, Moore took care of the keystone and .Captain Zim merman officiated in the short patchy This will no doubt be the combination used at second during the two games, today and tomorrow, and until Boss and Shafer are able to resume playing. Latham will occupy his regular berth at first and Svarverud will be stationed at the hot corner. Lineup is Altered In last night’s game the outfield pre sented a decidedly different front. Sors by was stationed in left, Collins in center and Baldwin in right. If they lineup this way, Sorsby will be the only regular playing in the gardens. Wright’s injury left a big hole to plug in the outfield and Sorsby may play there the rest of the season, unless Zimerman is switched back; Both Collins and Baldwin are fair hitters and will add offensive strength. Boy croft may be seen in the lineup at some time during today’s game and it would not be surprising to see him start the game. Cook seems to have a strangle hold on the receiver’s job in today’s tus sle, although Watson and Orr stand ready to replace him at any time dur ing the melee. Brooks worked on the mound against the freshmen last night and will prob ably get a chance against the invading batsmen in the second game. Skinner or Shields may work the opener and if the going gets too serious, Baldwin can be shoved into the breach. Collins and Single are also ready to take their turn on the mound if necessary. Team Is Weakened Offensively the team is weakened by the absence of Wright’s heavy stick work, but Zimmerman’s return to the lineup will offset this loss to a great extent. The defensive loss of Boss and Shafer will no doubt be felt. Boss is a steady fielder and Moore will have a big job at the keystone filling the little veteran’s shoes. Pacific is coming down with the in tention of lowering the varsity’s col ors and a battle royal can be expected from them. In offense and defense, they rate on a par almost with Boh ’ir’s men. In Amburn they have a vet eran who has been under fire for sev eral years. He has a cool head and a baffling change of pace. Blackman, another Oregon man, is also playing on the Pacific aggregation. FROSH MAKE RUSH FOR CHOICE SEATS “Vanities” Tickets Won After Long Wait “While Eugene Sleeps/’ might be an appropriate title for the little skit put on by the green-eappers of the*var ious houses down in front of the Heilig theatre Tuesday night and early yes terday morning. When the rest of us were blissfully dreaming away the still hours of the night, these doughty sons of ’26 were shivering and shaking wait ing for the ticket office to open, that they might get a few blocks of the choicest seats for the “Varsity Vani ties.” The entrance of the theatre resem bled the gate of a world series baseball game with drowsy fans leaning against the wall or seated on cracker boxes patiently waiting for the wicket to swing back. More than one drowsy frosh kept looking for his relief so that he might race home and pound the hay for a few minutes before hiking to class. Just how the youngsters whiled away the hours is hard to tell, although it is, rumored that they indulged in a little card playing and possibly some brought dominoes with them. Without doubt, freeze-out was the popular game with the weather man holding all the aces. Unlucky indeed was the freshman who fell asleep and let some of the other unfortunates slip in ahead of him. AUDIENCE WILL BALLOT FOR WINNER IN DEBATE New Plan For Deciding Contest Will Be Tried Out For the first time on the University campus, a debate will be staged 'at which there will be no selected judges, but at which the audience will ballot and give the decision. The event is scheduled for May 17, and will be a contest between the women’s debate teams of the University of California and the University of Oregon. The aud ience-decision plan has been in use at the University of California for some time with success, and it is expected that within another year all the univer sities and colleges of the coast will be using *the system. Other interesting things about the de bate on May 17 are that it is the first debate ever arranged between the wo men’s teams of the Universities of Ore gon and California; that it is only a one-sided contest for each of the insti tutions instead of a dual contest as has been carried on this year; and it is the last debate of this school year for either the women’s or men’s teams, in fact it is, with the exception of the Fililing-Beekman orations, the last for ensic activity of the year. The question to be argued is “Re solved that France is Justified in her Occupation of the Rhur.” A subject which is of such national as well as world interest as this one is, ought to bring out a good crowd to the contest, say forensic leaders. The Oregon wo men will have the affirmative side of question, while the negative will be upheld by the team from California. Lurline Coulter and May Fenno, two of Oregon’s most experienced co-ed speakers will make up the University team. Miss Coulter has been a mem ber of the Varsity debating squad for three years, and Miss Fenno for two years. Botlr are considered as convinc ing and forcible speakers. Ten Acts of Fun to be Feature Of Juniors9 Varsity Vanities Weeks of work, combined with care ful planning of costumes, stage effects and the writing of special music by well known campus musical artiste, have gone te make up the great ten act Varsity Vanities vaudeville show, which will be presented tonight at 8:15 at the Heilig theatre. The tickets sold so speedily, due to publicity and the number of people in the cast—100 in all—who were inter ested, that a second performance in the near future may be necessary. The committee in charge of the Van ities show, headed by Ted Baker, and assisted ■ by Darrell Larson, Katherine Pinneo and Asteria Norton, is working industriously to get things in shape for the annual production. “Wait until you see the pretty girls in the ‘Mummy Mine’ chorus,” said Larson yesterday. This act has been attracting state-wide attention because of the faet that the music was compos ed by Imogene Letcher, well-known sen ior in the school of music. Several of the pieces have been played as dance music by the Mid-Nite Sons, and other popular orchestras, and have alws.ys met with enthusiastic encores. The cos tuming for the act is elaborate and the “prop” men—Hally Barry, John Boyd, Bill Poulson and Dave Swanson—have been kept on the jump preparing for this and other feats of the program. Another number that is the product of local musical ability is the “Valse Burlesque,” written by George Hop kins of the school of music. It is a clever travesty on modern ragtime and will be presented by “Skinny” Beid. The music for “Madame Butter scotch” was arranged by Gretchen Brown, a member of the girls glee club, and the scenery was created by Edgar Bohlman, who has won a con siderable reputation in local art cir cles with his ability to attain pleasing artistic effects. The program in the order of its pre sentation follows: Atlanta Victorious (an athletic dance) Mildred La Compte and a group of girls. By Miss Lillian Stupp. Out of the Fog ( a mystery act.)

STUDENTS URGED TO HAVE MOTHERS VISIT UNIVERSITY Entertainment Date 3et For May 12, 13; Invitations To Be Distributed REMINGTON IS SPEAKER Episcopal Bishop of Eastern Oregon To Give Address Sunday Morning Plans for the entertainment of the mothers of the University students at the annual Mothers ’ week-end on May 12 and 13 are being formulated by a student body committee. There will be a tea, a recital, and vespers especially arranged. Invitations for the occasion from the student body will be sent to the halls and houses tonight, and will also be left at the Co-op, so that every University mother can be invited whether she can come or not. A tea at 2 o’clock on Saturday will take the place of the usual campus lunch eon. It will be held in the Woman’s building and will be arranged by the Women’s league. Bernice Altstock, president of the league, is cooperating with Wesley Frater, chairman of the general student body committee, in ar ranging for the tea. Other members, of the commitee are Margaret Skavlan, Ed Tapfer, George Stewart and Joe Benson. A school of music recital following the tea is being arranged by Ronald Reid. This will be a program of cam pus talent. The complete progarm will be known lafer. Drama By Miss' Stupp Saturday evening is being left open, since a number of the mothers will de sire to attend the dance drama given un der direction of Miss Lillian Stupp of the physical education department. Some allowance of time must be made, too, for the mothers who will want to spend every possible moment with their children. The committee is cooperating with some of the Eugene churches to hold special Mothers ’ Day services Sunday morning for those who wish to attend. At 2:30 on Sunday will be vespers in the Methodist church. It has been arranged for that hour so that those who have to leave on early trains can attend. Bishop Former Athlete The Eight Eev. William P. Bemington, of Baker, Oregon, Episcopal bishop of eastern Oregon, will be the speaker. He is a man of rather nnusual talents and interests for a bishop. He is an ath lete, and has approached world records in high jump, running broad jump and hurdles. In 1900 he was a member of an all-American baseball team at the Olympic games in Paris. Music will be conducted by John Stark Evans of the school of music. The vespers committee includes M. H. Douglass, chairman, John Stark Evans, Professor E. E. DeCou, Don Zimmerman, Winifred Graham and Mar ion Lawrence. Grace Edgington, dean of women, is assisting in the preparations for the week-end in every possible way. Invitations should be sent out at once, it has been urged by the committee, so that more definite plans can be made, and meeting trains and housing arranged for the mothers as guests. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU GIVES OUT MANY JOBS Mother Donnelly Predicts Total Remun eration for Student Work Will Reach About $27,000 The report which Mrs. Charlotte Don nelly gave to the advisory council of the campus Y. M. C. A., last Tuesday night on the employment situation for the last term and the beginning of this term was a most encouraging one for the department in the University. The figures which Mis. Donnelly re ported on for last term showed that the regular jobs brought in the sum of $7,172. The amount of money made from odd jobs this last term was not as great as the fall term, because of the bad weather which prevailed dur ing the last three months. The total obtained from regular and odd jobs was estimated at $8,022.10. This amount is $2,906 less than that made during the Fall term. So far this term an estimation has been made that $7,138 has been report ed earned in the regular jobs that will be held all term. Up to the present time, over $300 has been made in odd jobs. With the $200 which was made during Easter vacation by students who stayed in Eugene, a total of $7,638 is gotten from this term’s work in the numerous jobs taken. If this pace keeps up, Mrs, Donnelly believes that the department will be able to report a grand total for the year of about $27,000, an in crease of $7,000 over last year. PETITION 10 KEEP VARSITY COUCH IS PRESENTED TODAY Many Oregon Club Members Not Reached; 1167 Names Are Obtained BOVARD REMAINS SILENT Committee Makes Canvass Of Campus; Says Students Willing to Sign By Ed Fraser The petition urging the retention of i George Boliler as head coach of bas ketball and baseball at Oregon will be presented to the administration of the University this morning with a total of 1167 signatures out of the 1900 reg istered students on the campus. Since the members of the Oregon Club and students living outside of or ganizations were not reached to any appreciable extent, it is estimated by the members of the committee that more than 90 per cent of the students on the campus would have signed the peti tion if they could have been reached. Members of the committee in charge of preparing the petition, and others interested in the affair, have conducted a careful canvass of the campus during the last week and report that they have not yet found a single student who will express himself as being dis satisfied with either Coach Bohler or his policies since he has been here. Dean’s Decision Not Changed Dean Bovard is still standing pat on his decision made last week, and will give no other explanation of his pol icy other than “lack of co-operation” and as yet no definite charges have been made against the coach from the standpoint of lack of ability, lack of success, or inefficiency, these being the usual reastfn for the dismissal of coaches. Coach Bohler has nothing to say on the subject except that he wishes the whole matter could have remained quiet as he already has several good open ings in other places. He stated that he liked Oregon and the “Oregon Spirit” and especially liked the type of men that he has to work with here, and add ed that he still intends to turn in his application and will return with plea sure if it is accepted. Athletes Behind Coach The attitude of the athletes toward the situation is that they are unani mously behind their coach, and most of them believe that it is especially unfor tunate that the break in relations came about at this time, as there will be a wealth of veteran material on hand next year for both basketball and base ball, and with Coach Bohler returning, they believe Oregon’s chances for a couple of championship teams would be extra good. If the present coach leaves and a new man comes here, the entire system will be changed and the best opportunities that Oregon has had for a champion ship in both baseball and basketball for a long time will go glimmering. The athletes therefore are making an especially strong fight to retain Bohler, as they see the chance to make good, as if he is let go they will prob ably be unable to change their system and produce a championship aggrega tion all in one season. FRESHMEN ASKED TO REPORT The Order of the “O” has issued the edict that the following freshmen will be expected to appear on Hayward field at three o’clock this afternoon: R. L. C. Adams, C. V. Ager, Paul W. Ager, W. M. Aitken, L. G. Allen, R C. Anderson, A. Andrews, D. C. Baird, L. Baird, J. K. Bailey, H. L. Bass, R. S. Bean, R. H. Beattie, G. J. Bennett, E. W Bieghler, W. Biggs, P. 8. Billington and H. J. Bleasing. Those of this num ber who have classes or who are other wise unable to attend must see George King and arrange for an excuse. Only gilt edge excuses will be accepted— otherwise the paddle, say the varsity letter men. CLASS ELECTION DATE SET Sophomore, junior and senior class elections will be held on Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday, May 22, 23, 24, according to present plans. The deci sion was made to hold the three elec tions at the same time immediately af ter Junior week-end for the conven ience of the junior class.

Students eligibly for application are those who have completed the first three years’ work in the department of medicine on the Eugene campus or its equivalent in any other college of equal standing. Those who have filed applications are: George Adler, Jackson Capell, Mar garet Casad, Charles R. Chick, Wil liam P. Chisholm, Raffaele C. Colon na, E. F. Cornelinssen, Marvin W. Cra gun, Ralph Crandall, Ralph E. Dalton, Cash Davis, Edwin Durno, Henry E. Durat, Marion R. Eby, Lester A. Ed blom, Lawrence K. Fraley, F. E. Gar finkle, M. F. Gourlye, H. R. Gourley, Dwight W. Gregg, H. L. Grunland, George Horsfall, Frank Johnson, Clyde W. Leonard, Charles W. Lemery, Ray McKeown, Kenneth Moore, Wasily Muller, Ethel Myers, Jack Myers, Her ald T. Nokes, Ben I. Phillips, Ralph E. Poston, John D. Rankin, Raymond M. Rice, Vida Sherwood, Robert H. Ste wart, Phillip Strowbridgo, Elizabeth Torrey, Cyril T. Valentine, Ralph Wat ters, Alice M. Walsh and K. William son. In choosing those students who arc to continue their work in Portland, scholarship and general fitness for the study of medicine form the basis for selection. The order of the applica tions is not important. 70 students were selected to take the four-yeai course in Portland last year, from a list of over twice as many applicants. The University of Oregon offers s seven-year course in the school of med ieinc-. The requirements for admissioi to this school are the same as the re quirements to the University.

PRESIDENT RULES SPEECHES TO BE CUT VERT SRORT Several Amendments Are to be Read in Villard Assembly This Morning Claude Robinson yesterday announc ed that he would pit his strength against that of Don Zimmerman, can didate for the presidency of the Asso ciated Students. His resignation as junior man on the executive council was tendered last night and was accept ed by that body. Robinson has been consistently mentioned as a possible candidate for the president’s office, but it was not until last night that he made a formal announcement. With nominations from the floor if the student body meeting this morning, interest in the coming election is run ning high. There are now candidates in the field for every office and a race is assured in every position except that of sonior woman on the executive coun cil. From all indications some of the races will be especially interesting. Speeches this morning will be short if the ruling of President John Mac Gregor is heeded. Due to the fact that there are a number of amendments to be read and that a long meeting is held to be undesirable the chairman will probably cut off orators who show a tendency toward verbosity. The nomi nating assembly traditionally lasts until well after 12 o’elok. Candidate Is Debater Claude Robinson, candidate for A. S. U. O. head and the only aspirant to an nounce yesterday, has held the posi tion of junior man on the executive council since the resignation of Dutch Gram some months ago. He is a var sity debater and has won his emblem two years. He was general chairman of the recent all-University smoker. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi and Tau Kappa Alpha and is a resident of Friendly hall. The student council has proposed three amendments which will be read to the assembled students this morning. The first would put the Lemon Punch on the basis of a student body publi cation. It provides for the selection of the editor and the manager and for the division of profits to the student body and to the staff. Members of tho University band will be presented with a sweater simi lar to that worn by them this year if another amendment which will be sub mitted this morning is approved. It is planned to give the sweater, which will carry a lyre, as the reward of one year’s work. Swimmer’s Letters Up The third proposal which bears the approval of the student council is to award letters to swimmers. The spon sors of the plan have proposed a letter similar to that given to varsity wrest lers to the individual who makes eight points during one season. This require ment is considered rather high. An amendment to authorize the incor poration of the student body will be presented, according to an announce ment from the graduate manager’s of fice. The incorporation is now taking place, but the amendment is necessary to legalize the transaction, it is stated. It is entirely probable that there will be several other amendments proposed from tho floor. NEW BOOKS ADDED Two new books on English architec ture have been added to the University library. The books are: “Modern En glish Country Homes,” and “Modern English Churches.” The first contains 55 plates illustrating the different types of English country homes, while the second contains 68 plates showing English churches. The plates are re productions of homes and churches in England, and as the title suggests show the modern types of architecture and of internal design in both country houses and ohurches.
