Over the Hills
The sound of a train whistle in that attractive land of “over the
hills’’ arouses strange yearnings in the breasts of those Oregon stu
dents who are children of the spirit of Romany.
The roar of a train as it passes ivy-covered Villard does more
than interrupt the drone of the class room or drown the trite wit
ticism of an ancient pedagogue. Strange longings spring up, and
more than one activity-driven, campus-weary stude i longs for the
days when new towns are always ahead.
How different from ourselves seem the people »v ho gaze from th^
windows of the pullmans and how different ih.ii (.noughts must
necessarily be. ,
Sheltered in our quiet school day surroundings, how seldom even
the mightiest problems of the outside world ever come to our minds.
For the time, they have apparently no connection with our lives,
nor do our lives touch them.
But the train goes by. Then all is different. Visions of glimmer
ing Broadways, of mysterious nocturnal streets, of far-off mountain
torrents, of California sunshine, or the spell of the frozen north
land, flood the consciousness. The lesson is forgotten, the classroom
is no more, and the hard chair is changed to the upholstery of a sleek
pullman or the luxurious steamer chair. Drowsy memories of sum
mer skies, of mellow, moonlit romance beneath far-away eucalyptus
trees, or of the face of some nearly forgotten traveling companion
hold sway. The odor of the shining seashore or the pungency of the
cool forest deeps is wafted in at the open window, and the memory
of the gentle companion who shared the grassy nook overlooking the
sea or the pine-framed picture of unfolding plains, far below, pre
vents one from caring much whether the stoics or the epicureans had
the better philosophy.
Trains that pass in the night are even more intriguing than those
of daylight hours. A long black serpent of wood and steel, heading
into the murky abyss ahead, it steals away the complacency of our
smug campus existence and changes hours meant for rest into etern
ities of dreaming of days of the open road.

An English house is advertising a
book of poetry by Paul Widenheimer to

The campus is intimately (Yes, Paul

with Walter Hampden and Fritz Leiber.
What are they doing this winter? Well,
Hampden is attempting to revive Ros

adaptation by Brian Hooker. He will
also continue his Shakespearean roles.
And think of it! Fritz Leiber will take
the part of Ponco de Leon in Eugene
O’Neill’s latest play, “The Fountain.”
The retirement of Leiber from the
Shakespearean drama was predicted by
Norman Byrafl in last year’s Emeaald.

There can always be something said
about D. H. Lawrence. That man pub

says that Hester Prynne had a volup

INTELLIGENCE TESTS ARE
GIVEN TO ALL ASPIRANTS
Candidates for Underwood Scholarship
Appear Before E. H. Wheeler;
Two Tests are Given
The intelligence and Seashore tests
were given Saturday by Dr. R. H,
Wheeler of the university psychology
department for those children who are
applicants for the Underwood scholar
ship. Because of the large number of
children who appeared as candidates
for the violin scholarship offered by
Rex Underwood of the school of music,
the donor decided to increase the
scholarships to three. Thirty-four
children appeared to take the examina
tion conducted by Prof. Underwood a
week ago, which was to test their phy
sical aptitude for playing. The test
yesterday was to discover any special
mental characteristics that the children
might have.
The scholarship as originally an
nounced by Prof. Underwood was for
the child who had the best physical
and mental aptitude for violin playing.
The Oregon professor will offer two
other scholarships, one for a child
with average mental and physical
qualifications; the second for a child
with fine mental endowments but with
physical qualifications below the ave
rage. The only requisite is that the
child has had no previous lessonB on
the violin.
Each scholarship winner will obtain
two lessons a week for a year. At the
end of that time Prof. Underwood will
be able to determine whether rate of
progress on the violin can be predicted
in advance on the basis of mental and
physical tests.
Violin classes in the Eugene publie
schools have proved extremely popular,
according to the university school of
music. Seventy-four students have en
rolled. The children who range from
the fourth grade to the high school
are pupils of Charlotte Nash. Hiss
Nash is a pupil of Prof. Underwood,
and the work in the public schools is
carried on under his general supervi
sion. Pupils in groups of five take
their lessons at the public schools and
the price of the lessons is nominal.

it will gain great popularity here. There
is the rumor of a petition afloat re

education to substitute it for soccer.
Pushball is a gentleman’s game; it is
refined, sociable and entertaining, and
just a shade less brutal than open house.
Faculty members who wish to join
pushball classes will please send their
names to the city coroner.
The freshmen accumulated the greater
portion of their points in the bag rush.
This event was very lady-like. Owing
to a misunderstanding in the rules, both
teams had been instructed to take the
bags to the same goal. The bags were
not at all heavy with four men carry
ing them. Of course it was the sopho
mores that had made the error in select
ing the goal and so the points were
awarded the green cappers.
Owing to the fact that there had been
no rain during the last few dayB the
tie-up contest was a very clean event.
At the close of the time interval one
sophomore and three freshmen were
found helplessly bound. The yearlings
did their best at yelling; they entered
into this with boisterous enthusiasm and
howled in the full measure of their
adolescent abandon. The judges were
sorry that they could only award them
five points on this.

Sport Chatter

MONTE BYERS
This year will see the passing of
one of Oregon’s most popular athletes.
The name of “Hunk” Latham will go
down in big letters in Oregon’s hall
of sport fame. From a mediocre athlete
Hunk has developed into a star and ft
present is the only three sport man in
the University. Old timers will re
member the lanky athlete’s first stab
at varsity football. Night after night
Huntington and Spellman worked on
him, putting him in one position or
another trying to find the niche for
him. Night after night he went to
the showers disgusted with his ability
as an athlete and then the coaches dis
covered that he was a fullback of the
first magnitude. For three years now
Hunk has been spearing passes and do
ing the heavy plunging for the varsity.
His name is a byword in conference
basketball and he has also done his
stuff on the diamond. When Hunk
goes, there will be a big gap to fill.
Despite their heavy loss of veterans,
the Aggies will put up sonfc stiff op
position in the conference race this
year. With less to work with than
he ever had before, Rutherford may
spring one on the pigskin fans with
his semi-green aggregation. A field
general has been discovered this year
and he looms to fill the bill, if his
work in the two games played by the
Aggies are to be considered. Price
comes from the rook ranks and has
succeeded in shoving the quarter Of
last year, Garber, Unto al halfbapk
berth.

We are beginning to wondering if
Virgil Earl’s football school is going
to become a fizzle. The way pros
pective material is turning out would
indicate that end. Only six or seven
men were signed during the first part
of the week. This looks very poor
when one looks over the candidates
eligible for the valuable drill which
can be secured under the tutelage of
Earl; who comes here with a reputa
tion as a builder of football machines.
There is a big chance that the former
Oregon grid hero may find' some mater
ial worthy of varsity consideration,
but he can’t do it unless he has the
material.

Bill Hayward hasn’t sent any S. O. 8.
calls to the Order of the O, or the
senior cops, asking them to come out
and regulate the track traffic on his

there were no signs of lettermen on
the oval.

Vincent Borleske is hit hard up at
Whitman. The Missionary mentor is
having his troubles trying to develop
a team which will stand the gaff of
a rigorous season. He has the lightest
team in several years and added to
that has lost the services of Tilton,
steller back, for the season so no won
der there are clouds of gloom up Walla
Walla way.
Idaho ought to show something this
year with Bob Fitzke in the lineup.
The big back is a triple threat man
of the first water and will bO a problem
for the conference teams to solve this
year. In the last years the Gem
Staters have proved dangerous with
their shifty style of play and with
Matthews at the helm, they will have
to be watched.

Do-nut basketball gets under way
soon. It might be a good plan for
the various organizatios to establish
training' rules for their players so
that they can go the full distance
without rest periods every five min

the ire of the spectators. Last year
some of the contestants puffed through
the game like the fat man at the end of
a race at a Grocer’s picnic.
