Oregon X * v * ■ . >. VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY. JANUARY U. 1924 _ NUMBER 84 TRACK TRAINING IS UNDER WAT ‘Bill’ Wants More Hurdlers; Only Four Men Signed Up For Timber Events VAULTERS WORK INSIDE Saturday Meets to Break Practice Grind During Long Winter Months Eain means nothnig in Coach Hay ward’s life—except added difficul ties. Now that all the men except the pole vaulters are working on the track at Hayward field, training is under way with a seriousness that is usually found in mid-season. Even a graveled box has been fixed for the discus throwers and shot putters that will insure firm footing when rain j has covered the rest of the field. Bill says, “I won’t stop for any thing from now on.” Yet rain isn’t the only thing that is worrying Oregon’s track coach at the present time. With 57 men signed up and turning out for var sity track there are only four men signed up for the hurdles. At the present time L. Anderson, Rose-; braugh, Krausse, and Lucas are the j only men who have signified their intentions of working in this event. Coach Has Hard Life “Must have more men for the hur-' dies,” Bill says. He is trying out j men from the rest of the events. ! “I’ll find some, if the hurdles hold: out,” Bill remarked as he watched a j husky shot putter trying his luck. The shot-putter didn’t break any legs, but splintered the top of the hurdle—and decided that he wouldn’t i be much help to the coach, as a hurdler. Several others are doing better but Bill expressed the hope that if any person in school had a desire to try himself as hurdler, ei ther with experience or without, that he would come out now, for he will be devoting a good bit of his time to the coaching of this event in the next few weeks.. Yes indeed, verily the way of a, track coach is hard, and Coach Hay- i ward is no exception to the rule. One freshman candidate last night asked him for a new pair of warm up pants. “What’s the matter with them ” Bill asked, looking them over. “ They ’re soiled and they ’re get ting baggy at the knes,” replied the embryo athlete. “Bring ’em up and I’ll press them for you,” Bill an swered without cracking a smile. The young man seemed satisfied, but he didn’t say when he would report with the trousers. Meet Comes Saturday The sprinters were working on take offs last night. The coming meet and helping to break the monotony of the usually long training season, next Saturday is heartening the men Hayward plans to run all the sprint men in the 100 yard dash, then to give the half milers and 440 men a chance to demonstrate their ability in the 440. Also the shot putters and the' high jump aspirants will have real competition. The meet will be gin sharply at 2 o’clock next Satur day afternoon. Detour Sign on Laboratory Door Affects Scribes “No Thoroughfare! Detour to floor below! ” The above sign appeared on the door of the science laboratory on the second floor of the journalism building not long ago and as a result students have had to stifle their original inclinations to step on the gas and take the shortest road home to lunch, and instead they go in reverse, back up, say a few words under their breath such as any autoist might use in like circumstances and take the detour. And not only when leaving a class but when arriving some five minutes late, the same round about way must be taken as science pro fessors have complained that the arriving and departing students have been a disturbance to classes being held in the laboratories. Well—it may be comedy to the janitor, but it’s tragedy to the late arrival. VARSITY SWIMMERS MEET FROSH TONIGHT Event to Show Fahl Good Material For Team The varsitv-frosh swimming meet which was announced in yesterday’s Emerald for Wednesday evening will be held tonight in the Woman’s building tank at 7:30. This meet will, without a doubt be close, as Coach “Rudy” Fahl will pick his varsity team from those that make the best showing in the meet. Don Park has been working' his proteges overtime in order that they will be able to walk off with the fat end of the score. As the men are not in the best of condition the distances for the dif ferent events have been reduced. Harry A. Scott will act as referee for the meet. Others who will aid as judges are “Hank” Foster, .Dave Evans, Earl Widmer, Jim Cossman, “Rudy” Fahl and Don Park. Palmer is the best varsity man in the 40-yard event, but he will without a doubt be closely pressed by Stone of the frosh." Yoran is showing up well in the backstroke and Stone, the only entry for the frosh, will have to get in dig to pass the varsity man. As the frosh have no entry in the breast stroke, Sinclair, a pro tege of Fahl’s, will give an exhibi tion. In practice Sinclair can do the 100 in 1:25, and probably to night will hang up a_ new mark. In the 80-yard dash it looks like a real battle between Palmer, of the varsity and Lombard, of the frosh. Both men are good swim mers and this should be a real dual to see who will carry off the blue ribbon. In the dives the varsity will be represented by Horsfall, Mc Cabe and Angell, while the frosh will have Stone and Lee to uphold their end. There evidently will be keen competition in this event, as the men know the technical points of diving. Horsfall will probably be the only entry for the varsity in the 200-yard event, as Herron is out with a strained back. Lombard and Aldernrin will swim for the “Babes” in this event. In the plunge Wiswall has a slight edge over Heider, his colleague. They (Continued on page three) Audience Sees Intricacies of Modeling the “Doughboy” Sketching in the action of the fi gure with modeling clay on a frame work of lead pipe and wire, building up muscles, blocking in the bulk of steel helmet and gas mask—so Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculpture at the University, last night made a three-foot replica of his famous “Idaho Donghboy” before an audi ence in Villard hall. The modeling demonstration was held under the auspices of the University sculpture club as a benefit to bring to the west W. Frank Purdy, director of the American School of Sculpture in New York City. “Great works of art eventually come to the people,” said Mr. Fair banks in his opening remarks. “Thev belong to the people. Art should be the expression of a people rather than individual fancies,” the sculp tor continued, in speaking of sculp ture. one of the oldest, and one of the noblest of the arts. The skeleton of pipe and wire, or the armature, which is first of all fastened to a wooden base in the action lines of the model’s pose, was briefly explained by the artist. The “butterflies” which are attached to the armature to keep the clay from slipping were mentioned. Dick Heed, who posed for the (Continued on page three) . DR.

He reports plans progress 1 ing nicely and that the first meet ing of the executive committee of i the campaign will be held next Tuesday, after which tme some an nouncements concerning the work will be made. Cars Parked Without Lights C ft use of Grief Plodding Architects Part Wiith Coin Parking cars after dark, with out lights, even on side streets bordered on both sides by Uni versity property seems to be taboo with the city officials. This fact was brought home rather for cibly to several members of the ar chitecture department, who, un aware of the vigilance of the con stabulary of the city of Eugene, chanced to park their ears on University street Tuesday night. While they were busily engrossed in drawing plans for magnificent memorials, great universities, and country court houses, a member of the city police force surreptitious ly stole down Thirteenth avenue, and when the architects were ready to return home, sometime in the wee sma’ hours of the morning, they found awaiting them, on each windshield, a little tag, informing them that their presence was de sired at the city hall, at 10 o’clock the next morning, to answer to a > charge of violating a city ordi nance. Six cars in all had been tagged, and therefrom the city was made richer by the sum of $12, at the expense of those wdio had forgot ten to turn on the lights. oreeowieTeet SET FOR FEBRUARY 8 Wrestling Team Soon to be Chosen by Coach ■ Less than two weeks' remain be-; Ifore the Oregon wrestlers will tackle O. A. C. February 9, in the initial meet of the conference. Coach Earl; Widmer has started to assort the best men and will probablv have his team picked before the end of the v. eek Crach D. O. Ferrell of O A. C. re ports that he will let his men ease up in their training because of the minor injuries received by the grap piers in their workouts. Robin Reed and Dick Nixon, two of Ferrell’s standbys, have so far escaped with out being injured. George Selfridge, P. N. A. champion, who is almost cer tain of landing a place on the team, is temporarily laid up with a minor injury. Tom Cliatburne, one of Coach Wid mer’s strong men in the 135 pound division, is bothered with a cauli flore ear, but will without doubt round into shape for the meet. Sump tion, Ford and Kilgore have been showing winning form in the 125 pound class and from present indica tions it looks like a toss up between the men. The heavy weights are also evenly matched and it looks like Widmer will have a job to chose between Akers, Wells and Mills. The big boys have been putting in real workouts and are ready to give any opponent a tussle. Negrin, French and Poulsen are all ready to step in the light-heavy job. Negrin is an old timer at the game and is recovering from an injury. He is a different type grappler than the other men. He works on the up per part of the body, not depending on his legs like the others do. French is handy with his legs and can easily clamp a scissor on his man. This i3 where the two wrestlers differ. One depends on strength of his arms to punish an opponent while the other uses his legs to a greater advantage. O. A. C. ’s grapplers are taught to some extent, to use ^mir Jlegs to a great advantage. The scissor hold seems to be their standby. Widmer has been teaching his pro teges the break for all of the holdj which he expects the Corvallis lads j to use. The week following the O. A. 0. meet, Widmer will take his men north where they will meet the LTni versitv of Idaho and W. S. C. on February 16 and 13. FRESHMEN MUST REPORT FOR WEEKLY CELEBRATION The following freshmen will re port on the library steps at 11:00 today: Jerry Winters, Neal Chin nock, Elton Schroeder, Joe Bates and Leo Turtledove. VOTE IS 2 TO 1 FOR NO GUESTS OPERA TICKETS HAVE BIG SALE “Hour Hand” Tonight at Heilig Theater Full of Many Novel Features MRS. BECK IS COMPOSER Tickets for “The Hour Hand,” a folk-opera by Anno Landsbury Beck of the school of music depicting Al pine village life, which is to be pre sented at the Heilig theatre tonight starting at S:30 received an unusual ly large sale, according to Ted Gil lenwaters, manager. The few remain ing tickets may be purchased from the Heilig theatre box office, which will remain open all day. Scene Has Wrestling One of the most exciting features of the entire opera is the wrestling match that opens act throe, confided Mrs. Beck yesterday. The wrestling is of a typical Swiss style. A waist and knee hold is necessary and the men must keep their heads straight over each other's shoulder. The ob ject of the match is for one of the men to place his opponent on his back. The “Chatter Chorus” alone, which is new to the opera this year, is wo) tli the price of the opera. It is introduced by Frieda, the clockmak or's daughter, who gives her cow- j herd lover her opinion of politics in a tantalizing and amusing way. The genuine Heidelburg pipe smoked by the old clockmaker throughout the performance will prove interesting' to many people. Details are Added “I am very hopeful of the sup port that the campus is going to give the production, judging from the support I have received in the past,” said Anne Landsbury Beck, composer of “The Hour Hand.” We have made a special effort to make it an attractive production and have spared no effort in supple menting last year’s performance with many interesting and amus ing details.” The Kennel-Ellis studio of Eu gene took all the pictures of the opera that are on display in the various parts of the city, as well ns in Portland. Those on display in the lobby of the Heilig theater are especially attractive. GLEE PLANS PROGRESS Dean Straub Urges Freshmen to Take Women of Own Class The Frnsh gloo is to start prompt ly at- 8:30 Friday night at the ar mory, the music to be furnished by an eight-piece orchestra. “Billie” O’Brvant, chairman of the music committee has made arrangements to build out the stage in order to ob tain the effects used by the larger eastern orchestras. Through this now arrangement the committee be lieves the music will be clearly audi ble in all parts of the armory. Tt is traditional, according to Dean John Straub, for freshmen men to take only freshmen women to the Frosh glee, although freshmen women may go with upperclassmen if they choose. The affair is to be informal for the men. DEBATERS WILL PLEDGE Zeta Kappa Psi, National Society Elects Six New Members Today in front of the library steps six girls will be formally pledged to Zeta Kappa Psi, national honorary debating society. The girls who will be pledged are: Gertrude Tue.ker, Mildred Whitcomb, Mildred Bate man. Margaret Woodson, Dorothy Abbott and Margaret Duerner. Each year the society takes in those girls who are outstanding in debating ability, paying particular at tention to those who go out for var sity debate work. Council Draws Up Resolutions Having Similar Sentiment All Classes in Favor of Modification Plan; Vote of 729 is Considered Fairly Good for Short Notice Given Election By Kathrine Kressmann Out of a total vote of 729 east yesterday ou the question of Junior Week-end, the plan to eliminate high school guests car ried by a majority of 465, almost double the vote for the two other plans. 173 desired to keep the week-end in the present form and 91 wished to do away with the event entirely. The student council, after the results had been announced, passed resolutions upholding the student opinion. The first resolution was to the Junior class, requesting them to arrange a Junior Week-end for students only. The second was to the Inter-Fraternity council and the Pan-Hellenic council, asking them to consider and pass rules and regulations necessary to carry out this plan.

DECOU TO RECEIVE Former Doan to Meet Students at Tea This Afternoon Mrs. Edgar E. DeCou, formerly dean of women on the campus, will receive at the usual tea hour to day for University women, in the absence of Mrs. Virginia Jndy Esterly who is out of town. Stu dents who have been in the Uni versity for two years or moro espec ially will welcome this opportunity to meet Mrs. DeCou again, and all girls on the campus are cordially invited to come at the usual hour to the home of Mrs. Esterly at 667 East Twelfth street. Mrs. DeCou hopes to see many of her former students again today, ! and said yesterday that she was I looking forward with pleasure to meeting the freshmen, as well, at this time. Miss Gertrude Talbot, head of Hendricks hall, will assist Mrs. DeCou during the after noon as hostess. Motions Made by Student Council WHEEEAS, the student body, by general referendum, has ex pressed itself as overwhelmingly in favor of a Junior Week-end without guests. BE IT RESOLVED that the student council request the junior class to arrange a Junior Week end for students only. WHEREAS, the student coun cil has requested the junior class to arrange a Junior Week end for students only. BE IT RESOLVED that the student council request the inter fraternity council and the pan liellenic council to consider and pass rules and regulations ne cessary to carry out this plan. Tlio number of students who voted was large in comparison to that which might have been expect ed, student officials declare. The total for regular student body elec tions has averaged 1200 for the past few years. This vote did not have the weoks of publicity preceding the general elections. The response shows that the students were alive to the situation. A large number of students turiyed in suggestions on the ballots. Sev eral who voted for the compromise plan desired the privilege of enter taining guests who plan entrance to th University, but wish to eliminate elaborate entertaining. Others brought the idea of limiting the num ber of guests which any house could have. Canoe Fete Discussed About thirty wished to eliminate the canoe fete while others declared the canoe fete the only worth while feature of the affair. It was suggest ed by many to eliminate some part of the program, such as the campus luncheon. Several men suggested doing away with the high school athletic events at that time as these} attract a large number of preppers. Other plans were to combine Junior Week-dud and Mother’s Week-end and to divide the events of Junior Week-end among several week-ends and not have them all coming at at once. One of the lads of ’27 de clared, “ 1 am a freshman and have never seen a Junior Week-end, and I wish you would keep it ono more year so that I can see it.” Thespians Count Ballots The Thespian girls took charge of the balloting and of counting the ' votes. The ballots were carefully | checked to eliminate any possibility J of error. The girls who counted the ballots were Lenta Baumgartner, J Bertha Berger, Annette Heckman, and Marion Horsfall. Those who helped at the booth during the day were: Mary Lee An drews, Mary Alice Ball, Louise Wen ) ham, Elizabeth Donald, Olenna Fish er, Lillian Luders, Margaret Osburn, Alice Olsen, Flossie Radabaugh, I Edith Shell, Catherine Strupler, Con stance Vance, and Katherine Lauder 1 dale. UNIQUE GARB ADOPTED Blue Jeans Latest Appealer of California Class University of California—(By P. T. N. S.)—Apparently a failure at first, the wearing of blue jeans by the sophomore men as their class garb is gradually finding better favor on the campus at the Uni versity of California. On the date set for the first appearance of the jeans, there were only a scattered few that were brave enough to don the official garb, but day by day more of the class members are being converted to wearing them.
