UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1923
NUMBER 154
CAMPUS IS VISITED
BY 300 MOTHERS
DURING WEEK-END
University Entertains With a
Simple Program; 500
Attend Tea
MANY SEE DANCE DRAMA
Vespers Services End Events;
Large Number of Guests
Stay Till Monday
Mothers’ Day, which has developed
into an annual week-end event at the
University, was a most happy affair
this year, according to Wesley Frater,
general chairman for the occasion. Ap
proximately 300 mothers from Oregon
and places outside of the state accept
ed invitations extended to them and
spent the week-end ,on the campus
visiting their sons and daughters. No
elaborate program had been scheduled
as it was thought that the mothers
would enjoy their visit more if they had
time to be with their sons and daugh
ters, and become acquainted with the
institution rather than being exten
sively entertained. The “hello” tradi
tion was gaily accepted anl loyally up
held by every mother.
The largest social event was the tea
given by the Women’s league in Alumni
hall from 3 to 5 Saturday afternoon.
It was estimated that 500 persons (at
tended this tea, which took the place
of the campus luncheon which has al
ways been an annual affair on Mothers ’
week-end. Special music by the ad
vanced students of the University
school of music was one of the parts
of the program at the tea.
Many Attend Drama
The interpretive dance drama pre
sented by the advanced pupils of Miss
Lillian Stupp’s dancing class was en
joyed by a large number of the visiting
mothers Saturday night. Sunday morn
ing all the Eugene churches gave spe
cial Mothers’ day programs, while on
Sunday afternoon the Mothers’ Day
Vespers services at which the Eight
Eev. William P. Eemington from Baker,
Oregon, spoke, closed the official pro
gram for the week-end. On all three
days of the week-end various houses
and organizations held special enter
tainments for the visitors. Many of
the mothers left Sunday, but quite a
number stayed over until Monday.
The observance of the occasion thi3
year was the fourth for the Univer
sity. Four years ago a number of Uni
versity officials decided that it would
be most appropriate that the insti
tution set aside the second week-end of
each May as Mothers’ Week-end. Since
then the event has grown in importance
and success, and was this year attend
ed by the largest number of mothers
yet.
Day Nationally Observed
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
was the first person to conceive of
Mothers’ Day in 1906. After the death
of her mother she decided to have a
special day dedicated to the mothers.
Accordingly many individuals and or
ganizations became interested in the
idea, and decided to have the second
Sunday of each May set aside as the
day to pay tribute to mother. And
thus Philadelphia was the first city
to observe the day. The day became
a national observance on May JO, 1906,
when Congress passed a resolution to
make it so. Today all over the nation
public schools, churches and individuals
setaside the day as one of tribute.
Through the efforts of Miss Jarvis the
day has also now received international
recognition.
Those in charge of the affair on the
campus this year were Wesley Frater,
Margaret Skavlan, George Stewart, Ed
Tapfer and Joe Benson.
EUGENE HIGH GETS
LESLIE FOR COACH
Former University Star
Chosen from Field
Earl (“Spike”) Leslie, former Ore
gon all-star tackle and a graduate with
the class of 1922, has been named coach
and atlfletic director of the Eugene
high school, according to information
received on the campus yesterday. Les
lie, who was both a football and base
ball letterman while attending the Uni
versity, takes the places of H. L. Gran
nis, former director of athletics at the
Eugene school.
Leslie, who was a major in the school
of business administration while at
tending the University, was prominent
in campus activities, being a member of
the Order of the “O”, Friars, Alpha
Kappa Psi and Beta Alpha Psi. He is
a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.
During the past year Leslie has been
director of athletics at Milton high
school in eastern Oregon, and turned
out notably strong teams in the var
ious departments.
The honor conferred on Leslie by the
Eugene high school is considered great,
for it is known that the local school
wras in the field for the best man who
could be signed up for position.

HALE TO GIVE LECTURE
■AT THURSDAY ASSEMBLY
“Administration-of Justice” Is
Subject of Address
The University community will be
given an opportunity to hear one of the
best speakers on its own campus Thurs
day morning when Dean W. G. Hale, of
the School of Law, will talk at assem
bly on The Administration of Justice.”
It is expected that this address will be
somewhat in the nature of an answer to
the discussion aroused on the campus some
weeks ago by the lecture given by Dr.
E. O. Holland, president of Washington j
State college, on the “Majesty of the
Law.”
Dean Hale said yesterday that he might
take issue with President Holland on
several points in regard to the admin
istration of the law and that he would
touch rather fully upon the essential
elements of this administration. It is
said that his position at the head of
the only law school in the state makes
him admirably fitted to discuss this topic
which is so closely connected with all of
the work in which he is instructing hun
dreds of students on the campus daily.
The realization of the public to the
courts of justice and the attitude of the
public and the ordinary citizen towards
administration of justice will be one as
pect of the address Thursday morning;
and Dean Hale also intends to answer the
question of what this attitude should be
in the light of his own experience and
knowledge.
The responsibility of the public will
also be emphasized and it seems evident
that the speaker will indicate what, in
his opinion, is the share of the public in
the apparent lack of respect for law in
our country at present. In addition to
the discussion of the attitude of those
outside of the profession of law, Dean
Hale will speak on the position and re
sponsibility of the administrators of jus
tice and on the importance of enforce
ment of law on the part of both its offi
cers and all citizens.
The assembly will be held in Yillard
hall and the musical numbers will be an
nounced later.
WARNER COLLECTION CLOSED
The Murray Warner art collection in
the Women’s building has been tempor
arily closed while workmen repair the
glass show cases. The cases are to be
made dust proof, and it is expected
that it will be about ten days before
the museum will be again opened for
visitors, according to Mrs. Lucy Per
kins, hostess at the museum.
Geologists and Mazamas Join
Forces and Visit Iron Mines
Rendezvous of University geologists
who left Eugene in several different
parties during the week-end was a tim
ber-clad hill in the vicinity of Sca
poose, overlooking the flood plains of
the Columbia, where they were joined
last Sunday morning by some 70 mem
bers of the Mazamas, mountain climbers
of the Northwest.
After having investigated the oil
prospects in the vicinity of St. Paul
and fossil localities near Pittsburg and
Clatskanie in the northwestern part of
the state, the geologists, headed by Dr.
Warren D. Smith and Dr. Earl L. Pack
ard, of the University department of
geology, joined forces with the Mazam
as and spent part of the day examining
the limonite—a hydrous sesquioxide of
iron—deposits in the vicinity of Sca
poose, about 45 miles west of Portland.
The Mazamas, who were accompanied
by Ira Williams, former assistant state
geologist, hiked the mile and a half up
the brushy slopes of the low mountain
range and gathered around one of the
cuts in the hill while Dr. Smith, Mr.
Williams, and Dr. Packard told the
mountaineers about the geologic history
of the deposits and briefly reviewed
the possibilities of mining the ore in
commercial quantities. Dr. Packard,
who made the trip into the northwest
part of the state to look over the fos
silliferous localities, touched on a few
phases of paleontology and requested
the Mazamas to assist his work by col
lecting fossils.
The group of University people who
visited the iron ore deposits other than

FIRST OF SERIES
LOST BY VARSITY
TO COUGARS, 6-3
W. S. C. Puts Over Winning
Runs in First Three Innings;
Safe Hits and Errors Win
MANY PITCHERS ARE USED
Oregon Rallies in Seventh but
Is Unable to Overcome
Lead of Visitors
The Cougar heavy artillery opened
up on the Varsity in the first three
frames and lammed the pellet for six
runs, enough to take the opener of the
Oregon-W. S. C. series by the count of
6 to 3. Oregon’s three runs, one in the
1 third ijnd two in the seventh, came as
the result of hits and passes.
After the first three innings, which
looked as though the Varsity was going
going to take an overwhelming defeat
at the hands of the northerners. Stod
dard, who relieved Baldwin in the first,
settled down and held the visitors
scoreless until the seventh, when he
surrendered the mound to Brooks. The
“skipper” duplicated Stoddard’s per
formance and allowed but two hits and
no runs during the remainder of the
session. In the meanwhile, however,
Pickering, who labored on the mound
for the Washingtonians, was none too
liberal with his hits. He let the locals
down with four safe hits and struck
out 10 of the Varsity batsmen.
Cougars Begin In First
Washington State opened up with a
bang in the first canto when Zaepfel
and Roberts drew passes, Zaepfel stole
third and on the next play Roberts
pilfered the second sack. “Ernie” Stod
dard replaced Baldwin in the box and t
“ Stan“ Bray greeted him with a scorch
er down the first base line that scored
his two teammates. The Cougars added
another in the second when Hanley got
on first on Svarverud’s error, went to
second when Zaepfel grounded out to
Zimmerman, and scored on Robert’s
single.
In the third with two men down, sin
gles by Foster, Hanley, Pickering and
Zaepfel, together with a little juggling
of the ball on the part of the Varsity
outfield acounted for three more of
Washington State’s runs, and wound
up their scoring.
Ross Knocks Three Bagger
Oregon counted for the first time in
its half of the third. “Charley Pick”
Svarverud drew his second walk of the
game and Jimmy Ross stalked up to
the plate and crashed one out the right
field foul line for throe bases, scoring
Svarverud. Clever fielding by Sand
bery was all that cut James out of a
homer. Things looked good for another
counter with Ross on third and Zimmer
man at bat, but the big fellow was
having a terrible day with the stick and
he whiffed the ozone, as he did in his
other trips to the plate.
Oregon’s other two tallies came in
the seventh, the proverbial rally in
ning, Collins, Shields, Cook and Svar
verud contributing the stickwork that
made the runs possible. After Sorsby
had grounded out to Roberts, Collins
laced out a screeching single to cen
terfield, taking second when the field
er muffed the ball. Shields, batting
for Roycroft, got on base on a fielder’s
choice and Collins was safe at third.
Collins Is Scored
Cook smashed one over second base
scoring Collins and advancing Tiny to
third. On the next play, Moore, bat
ting for Stoddard, knocked one to the
pitcher and Shields was nailed at the
plate. Cook advanced on the play and
came home when Svarverud singled to
right field but Mioore was tagged out
trying to go third on the hit.
Each team pulled a double play and
the game was featured by good field
ing throughtout. Svarverud, Hanlye
and Captain Bray divided the slugging
honors for the day.
Friel will probably start today’s
