GOBBLERS LOSE TO
PIFELERS IN RRRD
GAME, SCORE R-0
Teams Play Real Football in
Last Practice of Season;
Sax Heads Gobblers
PLAYERS SHOW UP WELL
Frenchy Du Paul Makes Only
Touchdown; Goal Kick
Blocked by Mautz
The Pifflers won six to nothing.
’ i three or four hundred spectators,
vho braved the cold and rain to witness
the contest from the sidelines of the
sawdust practice field saw a real
“fightin” football game on the last day
of May and the athletes themselves fin
ished their season’s work—yes, it was
a great day and a great game.
Captain Sax of the Gobblers, called
the turn on the coin and elected to have
his team kick. Burton unlimbered with
a beautiful boot to the ten yard line
where Terjeson caught and returned
the ball 12 yards before he was downed.
The Pifflers organization hadn’t yet
seemed to hit their stride for they
failed to penetrate the Gobbler’s first
line of defense in their three tries be
fore kicking.
Mays, right end for the Pifflers, was
called back to kick. He booted a low,
twisting spiral which bounced off Sax’s
knees and rolled free. Out of the smoth
er of players Frenchy Du Paul, left
end for the Pifflers, darted, grabbed
the rolling ball and ran for the goal
line. Sax was at his heels, but before
he could tackle, was brought down
from behind by a splendid dive by Sin
clair. Du Paul made the touchdown.
Score, Pifflers, six; Gobblers, nothing
The try for goal was blocked by Mautz.
right end of the Gobblers.
Gobblers Penalized Five Yards
The Gobblers again kicked off and
again Terjeson returned for ten yards.
Three more tries and Mays was again
brought back to kick. Sax caught the
ball and was downed in his tracks. This
was the Gobblers first opportunity to
show their stuff and they made three
tries through the line which netted
them twelve yards and a first down.
Then a five yard penalty for over
eagerness resulted in the Gobblers hav
ing to kick. The rest of the half the
ball moved back and forth and when
the whistle blew, was on the Gobblers
40 yard line, in their possession.
In the second half, Poulsen of the
Pifflers kicked to Kirtley who returned
about 8 yards before he was dropped.
This time the Gobblers took the first
time out of the game while the quarter
gathered his men for what must have
been a little pep talk—only it didn’t
work and Burton was forced to punt.
Mays Is Injured
Mays,who had been playing brilliant
football, was injured and Tamba took
his place at end. This left the punting
for Poulson and he handled it credita
bly; kicking once to the Gobblers four
yard line from their 40 yard marker.
Then followed an exhibition of real Ore
gon fight. Both teams were on their
toes—The Pifflers to put aeross ano
ther touchdown and the Gobblers to
rush the ball out of danger. For two
downs the Pifflers held without let
ting the Gobblers move the ball out
an inch and Burton was called to
kick. He barely had time to slap the
ball with his foot before an avalanche
of players were through and around

FAIRBANKS MEMORIAL
FOB 0.A.C. ACCEPTED
Aggie Committee Receives Gift
Panel; Lunch at Studio
The acceptance of the service mem
orial modeled by Avard Fairbanks, pro
fessor of sculpture, will take place today
in the arts building. A committee from
the class of 1923 at O. A. C. will be
present to receive it. The memorial is
a gift of the class of 1923 to their col
lege, and will be placed in the library en
trance-way.
Governor Walter M. Pierce, who is also
on the board of regents of O. A. C., will
be present and will attend the informal
studio luncheon to be given at 12, noon.
Guests will include President and Mrs.
P. L. Campbell, the O. A. C. commit
tee, and the committee for the Lewis and
Clark trail memorial association. Smocks
will be worn, and the model of the mo
ther group which.is to be placed in the
niche in the wall north of the Woman’s
building, as well as the statue of Aphro
dite, which Mr. Fairbanks is executing
for Carl G. Washburne, tvill add an at
mosphere of their own.
The service memoriat, which will be
unveiled in Corvallis tomorrow at the
commencement exercises, is a relief panel
seven feet high and 33 inches wide. An
angel, symbolizing the spirit of sacrifice,
is upholding a service man who holds in
one hand the olive branch that he has
won, in the other his gun at rest. He is
lifting his face—boyish under the tin
helmet—to the eyes of the angel.
The names of the dead are engraved on
the roll, and at the bottom of the panel
is a border of crosses and conventional
ized poppies of Flan.!?rs’ fields. The
whole composition gives a sense of re
pose and a reverence for those senti
ments which pay honor to the men who
have given their all for the United
States and the world freedom.
The panel has been cast in plaster
here, but the final casting in bronze
will be done in New York. The work
is notable for being the first service mem
orial to be done by an Oregon sculptor
for any institution within the state.
OREGANAS ARE MAILED
Approximately 240 copies of the
1923 Oregana have been mayed to the
different high schools of the state.'
Every accredited high school in Ore
gon is entitled to a copy of the year
book, according to Jason McCune, man
ager. Several copies have also been
sent to libraries over the state.
Colonel Leader May Apply
For Job as Dean of Music
By Colonel Leader
VANCOUVER, B. C., May 28.—(Spe
cial to Emerald)—It is an appalling
thing for me to realize that the Univer
sity is now carrying on without my
ehaperonage. I wake up shrieking at
night imagining awful things that have
happened; on three successive nights I
have had the following nightmare:
1. That Dean Stranb has told a fresh
man class that they are not up to stand
ard.
2. That Tiny, on the mound, has sold
a ball game for fear of being beaten up
by one of the opposing players.
3. That Hunk at third has made errors
on purpose, in order to brighten the al
ready bright eyes of some coed in the
rival institution.
I have not yet got over the horror of
one of our games at Corvallis in Vt8.
Jimmie Sheehy was onr captain, and
at noon on the match uay, I found him
at one of the O. A. C. restaurants with
a most attractive O. A. C. coed. I saved
that game by telling Jimmie he was
wanted at the diamond—and then taking
the siren to another restaurant before
he could get back.
The University of British Columbia
has a vacancy for dean of music, and I
am thinking of corraling the job. If
I do, I will at once start a new inter
varsity competition, and have an annual
encounter with us at Homecoming. I
can see John Jacob Landsbury burn green
with envy when he hears my symphony
orchestra rendering Mendelsohn’s “Hail,
Hail the Gang All Here,” or Gounod’s
“I Wear My Pink Pajamas.” I will
never take on the glee club though, be
cause John Stark Evans might double
cross me by making his team sing “Songs
of Oregon.”
Things are much the same in British
Columbia as they were nine years ago,
except that the rule of the road ia
changed, and vehicles pass on the right,
■ike in the states. It had to be done,
as Americans always—for some reason—
seem to get very exhiliarated their first
day in British Columbia, and forget to

TIE! PICTURES
SHOW WILD LIFE
IN VARIED FORMS
i Students are Enchanted b}
Wonderland Displayed
in Assembly Film
LECTURER IS NATURALIST
Close-up Views of Deer, Elk,
Sea Lions, Sandpipers
Portrayed on Screen
Weaving a story of entrancing inter
est as his audience followed pictures
of suspicious elk, of gamboling bear,
of chattering chipmunks, of “Wild Life
from Tide Line to Mountain Top,”
William L. Finley, naturalist, presented
to students of the University yester
day three reels of motion pictures he has
taken while on excursions for the Na
tional Association of Audubon Socie
ties, of which he is a member.
The first scene showed the shore line
of the sea, where life began. The
shore line is much the same as it was
20, or 30. or 50 thousand years ago. To
go to the shore line is like going back
thousands of years. Here are found
the little sandpipers, the versatile gull
and the fiddler crabs which scuttle into
their holes at the first notice of dan
ger. Going below the surface of the
heaving swells, close to the barnacle
covered rocks, the delicate anemone
sways with the surging currents, its
pale tentacles grasping bits of food
in their waving hold. The first forms
of life.
Water Animals Shown
An ugly octopus oozed along over
the ocean floor, its flowing arms mov
ing with sinister intent; now one would
curl disclosing the hideous sucking discs
lining the length.
Giant bull sea-lions and their mates
were shown sporting the foam-crested
water.
The scene changed. A glimpse of
Yosemite Falls, in all their majestic
heights and then a close view, near the
brink, where the water pitches out of
sight down and down—and there is a
tiny water-ousel, bobbing on a spray
splashed rock, then over she goes to
her young ones in that secure home
hidden under the very curl of the rush
ing torrent.
And then appear close-ups of deer,
stepping daintily beneath giant trees,
of two cubs idly playing together, of
a snappy pine squirrel perkily eying
these intruders, of a sooty, or blue,
grouse, which the guide was able to
creep up to and stroke with his finger
before it took flight with a thunderous
roar of frightened wings.
“Birds and animals are wild because'
they have been persecuted,” remarked
the naturalist, “It is splendid that
we have national parks where we can
get acquainted with these friends. With
the advance of civilization many of
them are having a hard time to sur
vive.”
Mountain Views Seen
Pictures of the “roof of the conti
nent,” where the elk have been driven
to a last stronghold, of prickly porcu
pines, of the doughty “camp-robber,”
who Mr. Finley says should be called
the Oregon jay, of a snow-white cabin
far up in the heights, where the guide
is shown squatting near a small blaze
with a pan of fish sizzling before him;
all so artistically by this nature-lover
—it is no wonder many of the assem
blage could be heard saying as they
filed reluctantly from Old Villard,
which had been packed to the doors,
“Gee, those fish! Say, I am going to
try to take a few days out this sum
mer and hit for the hills myself. And,
enviously, “to think he spends all his
time that way-”

TRUCK SQUAD LEAVES
TOR MEET AT PULLMAN
Oregon Doped to Do Well in
Coast Conference Tilt
Coach Bill Hayward and 11 track men
left Eugene yesterday bound for Pull
man where they will represent Oregon at
the coast conference meet there Saturday
afternoon.
Those making the trip are Captain Lar
son, Obcrteuffer, Hardenberg, Risley,
Lucas, Rosebraugh, Peltier, Koepp,
Spearow, Bowles and Kamna. Each team
in the conference meet is allotted 12
men, but Coach Hayward decided that
the squad he selected would be as strong
as the Lemon-Yellow could send this
year. The veteran mentor may only en
ter 10 men in the meet depending on con
ditions Saturday.
In the tryouts held on Hayward field,
Wednesday afternoon, Oberteuffer sprang
a surprise by his performance in the 440
and as a result will be the fourth man
in Oregon’s relay quarter Saturday. This
will be the first time that Obie has ruu
in the mile relay team in an official meet,
but from the way he circled the lap in
the tryout it is not likely that the team
will suffer much from the change. The
Lemon-Yellow relay team will consist of
Hardenberg, Risley, Rosebraugh and
Oberteuffer. Last Saturday at Seattle
the same team with the exception of
Oberteuffer won the relay event from
the fast Washington quartet and indica
tions are favorable that they will come
very close to repeating in the confer
ence relay.
While the Varsity’s chances of winning
the conference laurels are well-nigh im
possible with the national champion Cali
fornian squad entered in the competi
tion, the Lemon-Yellow should finish the
afternoon well up among the leaders.
Barring accidents Oregon should cap
ture the pole vault with Ralph Spear
ow performing as he did in the meet
with the Aggies. The blonde field star
also will give the rest of the entries
plenty of competition in the high and
broad .jumps. In the weights Kamna
will be the only Oregon man entered.
With strong entries in these events from
California, Washington and O. A. C„
there is small hope of garnering many
points here, but Kamna whirls the dis
cus around 120 feet and may take a
place. In the sprints Larson and Ober
teuffer may spring a surprise and take
a few places. In the 440 Vic Risley will
be Oregon’s hope. Risley has not been
defeated in three meets thus far and
it will take a mighty speedy quarter miler
to cross the tape ahead of him. Guy
Keep!; has not struck his real stride in
the two-mile race yet this year and his
friends arc pulling for him to stage a
comeback and place high in this event
Saturday. Floyd Bowles failed to per
form in the broad jump against the
Huskies last Saturday but it is likely that
he will be back in form for the confer
ence tilt. Thus with Btrong men in the
jumps, the sprints, the quarter, and the
two mile the Lemon-Yellow will no
doubt be heard from before the day’s
competition is over.
DORMAN ARCHITECT HEAD
Gong and Weights are Proposed to Keep
Students Active at Desks
Frank Dorman was elected president
of the Architects’ club at a meeting
held yesterday in the architecture
building. Other officers are Fred Jun
ken, vice-president and Katherine Ash
mead, secretary and treasurer.
The slogan for the drafting room un
der the new regime is—“Work when
you’re not asleep and don’t sleep
much.” By this method the architects
expect to get ahead rapidly. They de
clare that it will be necessary to install
a gong, and weights to be hung above
each table so that when one does go
to sleep the president can cut the
weights loose and sound the gong.
“We are organizing on a new basis,”
said the president with a smile, “and
we expect to have prize-fights and ping
pong matches every week-end.”
j Swiss OPERA BY
BARS. BECK GIVES
PLEASING SCENES
Plot of Story Hinges on Annual
Spring Festival with
Sports and Color
MUSIC MAJORS IN CAST
Dancing Executed with Vigor
and Grace; Singing Has
Holiday Swing
After only five months of work in
which time music was composed, words
written, costumes and scenery planned,
and the performance itself directed,
the opera “The Hour Hand,” was pre
sented by Anne Laudsbury Beck at the
Heilig theatre last night before a large
crowd of college students and town
people.
The historical significance of the
opera was expressed in the opening
tableau during the overture, depicting
the famous oath of Rutli. Parts in the
production were taken by University
students, many of them music majors.
The entire plot of the story took
place in a little Swiss mountain vil
lage on the annual spring festival day
when the flocks were leaving for their
mountain pastures, led away by the
cowherds who had one last day of fro
lic with their sweethearts and ttie vil
lage folk before their summer trip.
Garbed in holiday attire they danced
and sang the characteristic folk songs
and dances of the Swiss people.
Austrian Plot Involved
But while the village whiled away
the long day in sports the jovial tyrant
of the village, Landholdt von Brune,
whose personal ambitions and political -
aspirations outweighed his love for his
people, was plotting with the Austrian
spy. Their machinations were foiled
j by the clever theft of a clock by two
Austrian messengers and the unhappy
tyrant was doomed to disappointment.
Bobert McKnight in the role of the
tyrant, and Alfred Myers, as Heinrich,
the spy, did excellent work.
Songs Are Pleasing
Johnson in the role of Arnold Er
lach, a herdsman, and Florence Garrett
as the daughter of the master clock
maker, sang together of spring and love
and kindred subjects.
Particularly pleasing were the songs
by the Cheese girl, Ruth Akers, and the
Wine girl, Marvel Skeols. The former
sang a song of cheese and dair
ies, the latter led a chorus who sang
lustily of the joys of wine.
Aubrey Furry, with his be-braided
coat, his prestige as a leading citizen
and his big voice was a commanding
figure, in the opera in the role of the
Master Clock Maker. His songs were
well received by the audience.
Bernice Altstock as Gertrude Gelir
liardt, who served guests at the tavern,
and Wayne Aker’s, as Albrecht Furst,
apprentice to the clock maker, also
scored successes.
Maxine Buren as the inn keeper, con
corned for “her Gretchen,” when young
men hung about, and Curtis Phillips
as Reginald Montague, an English trav
eler, furnished the laughs for the opera.
Chorus Work Good
Th chorus work was well done. The
songs were sung with the lilt aud swing
of holiday lays and the dancing was
executed with vigor and grace. The
circle of villagers, dancing in their gay
greens and yellows and reds, in the
village square, with the blue Alps tow
ering in the background made an ef
fective and colorful picture.
The setting for the opera and the
scenery were made by Henry Sheldon.
The high roofed inn on one side and
the clock makers shop on the other
were charming and quaint.
Members of the University orches
tra, accompanied the opera. Charles
Runyan, a former University student,
who did the orchestration for the pro
duction, was the pianist for the or
chestra.
DIPLOMA FEES ARE DUE
Seniors Must Pay $10 a Month Before
Time of Graduation
Diploma fees for all students who ex
pect to graduate in June, must be paid
at least one month before graduation
according to E. P. Lyon of the regis
trar’s office.
The fee amounts to $10 for each de
gree and is payable at the cashier’s
window in the registrar’s office.
“No diplomas will be signed until the
fee is paid,” says Mr. Lyon, “and ow
ing to the fact that some signatures
must be secured from out-of-town peo
ple, it is necessary for the fee to be
paid at once.”
