■ : l Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. TUESDAY. MARCH 4. 1924 NUMBER 111 ORCHESTRA SET FOR WEDNESDAY Concert for All University to be Held in Methodist Church Starting at 8:00 FRANK JUE WILL SING Program to Have Popular Appeal; Admission Is by Student Body Ticket “The University orchestra this year and, in fact, for the last two years, has been a wonderfully fine —really a super-fine group that the student body should be proud of,” said Dr. John Landsbury, dean of the school of music, yesterday, in speaking of the organization that will be heard in concert tomorrow evening in the Methodist Episcopal church at 8:00 p. m. Praise Is Given “I hear echoes yet of the University orchestra concert in Portland last year, and many promi nent people have requested the or chestra to give another concert in that city,” continued Dr. Lands bury. “I think the students should take advantage of the chance to get familiar with orchestral music; for such an organization there are so many people involved that it is not often one has the opportunity to hear, and become acquainted with music of that kind.” The program, said Rex Under wood, director of the orchestra, while of strictly a good type: of music, will not bore, and it does not take a person of music appre ciation to enjoy it. In other words, it has a. popular appeal. For the first time, a stringed or chestra will make its appearance in a University orchestra concert. The selections featuring it will show more clearly the color of the stringed sections of the orchestra i used alone. Numbers Well Selected The*numbers on the program are •well selected, presenting enough variety to appeal to all music tastes, from the more classical overture, “Fidelio,” by Beethoven, and the introduction of the opera, “Mig non,” by Thomas, to the English folk dances, which have been mod ernized by Percy Grainger. Frank Jua, tenor, known profes sionally as Jue Fong, and Doris Helen Patterson, harpist, are the soloists for the concert. Mr. Jue was the headliner on a vaudeville circuit last summer and toured the Pacific coast. The Portland Oregonian in speak ing of his voice said: “Frank Jue has one of the best operatic tenor voices in Portland.” George War ren, of the San Francisco Chronicle, was also loud in his praise of the tenor’s voice, saying, “Frank Juei, the Chinese tenor, has a rich, full voice, splendidly schooled.” Mr. Jue is at present soloist at the Con gregational church in this city. Jle is a senior in the University and a student of John B. Seifert. Child Will Play Doris Patterson is considered a child prodigy as a harpist. Though quite young, she has appeared many times publicly, and her association with the orchestra has proved her to be a most noteworthy musician. This is the fifth concert spon (Continued on page three) o-❖ One of Players in Latest Guild Plav Ucirreu jjurson PLAYERS TO PRESENT ‘SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL’ Guild Hall Production Dated for March 6, 7 and 8 The “School for Scandal,” by Richard Sheridan, will be produced by the members of the junior and senior companies at Guild hall next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 6, 7 and 8. This famous com edy is an exceedingly brilliant and witty picture of eighteenth century manners and will be interesting not only because of its humor, but be cause of its quaintness of costume and speech, and its many noted char acters Fergus Reddie, head of the dra matic department, will direct it as a purely classical comedy. Simple bdV.k drops will serve as stage set tings. Stage technique will be sim ple, as in the times in which the play was written; and the costumes of the period will further enable the audience to view a true classical comedy. The plot of the “School for Scan dal” is well known. Every one is familiar with Sir Peter Teazle’s un fortunate time with his pert young wife, who frequents the society of the School for Scandal very much , against his will; and the two nephews J of Sir Oliver, Joseph and Charles Surface, with irreproachable and das tardly reputations respectively, who eventually get his unele’s fortune. There is a large cast in this com edy. Bernard MePhillips is taking the part of Sir Peter Teazle, the crabby old gentleman, who quarrels continually with his young wife. Elizabeth Robinson, who played the leading role in “Dover Road,” is playing Lady Teazle, the extravagant, witty young woman, whose sharp tongue is the delight of the School for Scandal. Sir Oliver Surface, the wise little, mnele from India, who comes to England to pick his heir, will be played by Virgil Mulkey. Darrell Larsen will play Joseph Surface, the smooth, suave, moraliz ing young man with no enemies and a spotless reputation. Charles Sur face, his brother, seems, however, to be a most dissolute and profligate young man. Everyone speaks in stern condemnation of his drunkenness and his gamblig with his uncle’s money. Sir Peter is one of his most scandal ized enemies. Dave Swanson has this role. The uncrowned queen of the School (Continued on page four.) New Church Chapel to Bear Name of Late Thomas Condon Plans are now being completed for j the building of a $50,000 Congrega tional church on the corner of the 13th and Ferry streets, construction of which is to begin during the com ing summer. Of special interest to students and faculty should be the fact that a memorial room to be a part of the office, will be dedicated to Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Condon, and will be known as Condon chapel. “Especially fitting this dedication seems,” said M. H. Douglas, in speak - of the memorial, “for Thomas Con don lived at the time, soon after the publication of Darwin’s books on evolution, when it was thought that a believer in Darwin’s theories could obviously not be a Christian, and he stood apart as being both a Chris tian and a scientist.” To quote from a biography of his life—-‘‘To Mr. Con don, the theory of evolution presented j to the human mind a wider concep tion of God than the world had ever known It involved a plan of unthink able grandeur, beginning with the smallest, simplest things, gradually unfolding into more complex life, often interrupted by some upturning of nature, but never losing the con tinuity of purpose, the steady prog I ress toward the culminating glory of all: the spiritual life of man.” To new students at the University, evidence of the great love and re ! spect which former students and { faculty have felt for “Oregon’s Grand Old Man of Science,” is shown in the naming of “The Condon (Continued on page four.) DEBATE PLANNED THURSDAYNIGHT Oregon to Meet Stanford, Washington in Year’s Most Important Contest SOX IS ILL IN INFIRMARY Team Members Have First Experience on Varsity; Squad Leaves Tomorrow A forensic connection of long standing will be continued this year when Oregon, Stanford and Wash ington meet in a triangular con test Thursday night of this week to debate the question, “Resolved, that the United States should enter the proposed world court.” This contest marks the most im portant triangle of the year, in point of distance traveled and parts of the country represented, for Oregon will send two mear to Palo Alto, Stanford will send two to Se attle, and the University of Wash ington men will come here, making a distance of almost 1,000 miles be tween the extreme, points of the triangle. Archer Is New Member Harold Sox, who was a member of Oregon’s negative team, and would have made the trip to Palo Alto, is ill in thci infirmary, and last Saturday it was necessary to put in a new man, Glenwood Archer, to take his place. However, Archer has been a member of the squad doing preliminary work on the ques tion, so it is not entirely new to him. With his team mate, Herschel Brown, he will leave tomorrow on the Shasta for California. They are scheduled to arrive in Palo Alto at 11:30 Thursday morning, in time to rest up from the trip and polish up their arguments and presentation before the contest. Martin S. Moore and Ernest Hen rikson, of the affirmative, will stay on the campus to meet the Wash ington negative, probably in Yillard hall. The names of the, Washing ton debaters have not been sent in. Men Have Jxperience All four men are debating on -arsity for the first time ,though hey have, all had experience in pub ic speaking. Henrikson and Moore Lave represented the University in ratorical contests; Brown has been , < member of the men’s doughnut earn which won the Tau Kappa Llpha shield last fall, and Archer ins been working on the varsity quad for some time. IT. E. Rosson and Gerrit Dern mink, coaches, are putting the men through their speeches daily, and are being a-listed by Prof. C. D. Thorpe and Paul Patterson, of the written and spoken English depart ment. Judges and a chairman for Thurs day night’s meet have not as yet been announced.

Lombard, although a freshman, will swim the 50 and 220-yard events. lie has been going at a fast clip and from all indications will make a strong bid for honors. Palmer, who is captain of the var sity, will be entered in the 50 and 100 dashes and the 100-yard back stroke. Horsfall will participate in the dives and 220-yard dash. The div ing will be held from a 10-foot board. Although this is the first year that Horsfall has been diving, lie has greatly improved since the opening of the season.

The fact that spon sors are not able to get in touch with their sponsees does not exclude anyone from the weekly. Woman’s league tea, as every woman in the University is invited, but the com mittee urges the upper-class women, to make an effort to get in touch with their sponsees. This will probably be the last tea given this term. A charge of five cents per couple will be made. OREGON AND O. A. C. TO BE HOSTS TO MAY CONVENTION Oregon Agricultural College—(By P. I. N. 8.)—O. A. C. will be the joint host with the University of Oregon to the fourth semi-annual convention of the Pacific Student Presidents ’ association the last of May. The association is drawn from the student body presidents of Pa cific coast colleges and universities. FIFTY FOOTBALL New Mentor Is Satisfied With Showing Made in First Work Yesterday SPEED IS EMPHASIZED Charging Drills, Tackling, and Blocking Make Up Elementary Field Lesson Last night more than fifty grid aspirants and Joe Haddock ushered Old King Football back into \the glare of the campus spotlight when spring football practice definitely got under way on the sawdust field back of Hayward field. Tt is ex pected that from 10 to 20 more pig skin artists will be back in the har ness before the week is out. Joe expressed himself as being very well satisfied with the initial turn out which included varsity, freshman, and newcomers. Last night’s work out was rather light due to the fact that the men are, as yet, not in the best of condition and the speed of Joe’s formations calls for the ulti mate of condition on the part of the men. Men Work in Squads The line candidates separated into two squads of about 20 each went through charging drills which con sisted of a series of short charges with emphasis on the speed in lining up. After that, tackling and blocking was the order of the afternoon. The backfield men put in the af ternoon running through a shift for mation to limber up the old pins. Speed was the noticeable element throughout the matinee workout. Shy worked with the new mentor as did Ran Williams and Rill Rein hart. the frosli coaches of last fall. The blue “M” of his alma uater adorned Joe’s sweater ns ^e put his men through their paces in their first workout together. Coach Inspires Men Haddock’s quiet voice seemed to inspire the men as a few words from him would send the lino charging in a fierce manner that belied the fact that it was the first practice of the year. Toward the close of the session, Joe lined up a team and ran through several plays in order to show the squad the necessity of knowing the fundamentals that were stressed dur ing practice. OREGON NURSES MEET Mozelle Hair Presides at Annual Conference In Portland Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the University extension division, was in Portland laHt week, where she, attended several different meet ings of public health.

MisS Harriet Thomson, of the Uni versity school of physical education, and Miss Hair were present at the ] meeting of the Oregon Tuberculosis association on Thursday. Miss Thomson acted as the official repre sentative from Lane county. Fri day, Miss Hair attended the board of director’s meeting of the Asso ciation of Public Health Nurses, of ’ which she is a lay member. U. H. S. FIVE WINS TILT Corvallis Team Loses, 22-18; Local Men in Championship Race By defeating the Corvallis high hoopers on the Corvallis floor Sat urday night, the University high basketball quintet cleared another hurdle in its race for the district championship. During the first half of the game, the Corvallis team was able, to score only once and the half ended 12 to 2 in favor of the local team. During the last quarter, the Cor vallis team rallied and made , some spectacular shots from the middle of the floor, but the) University high’s lead was too great and the Corvallis squad was not able to overtake them. Ridings,,. Univer sity high guard, was high-point man I with 11 of their 22 points to his I credit. The final score was 22-18. ‘Old Oregon’ Humor Section Is Headed by Eugene F. Short Eugene F. (Bunk') Short has been appointed editor of the humor section of “Old Oregon.” ! This was announced yesterday from the editor's office, after the decision had been made from sug gestions turned in by students. Short is a journalism major and is known, too, for his work in cartoons. Short drew the car toon for the 1923 Homecoming letter, which was sent to all alumni. “Old Oregon” is still on the hunt for humor. A mistaken im pression is going around the cam pus that art and humor are want ed from just the well known humorists and artists. Everyone is asked to turn in humorous poems, anecdotes, epigrams or art drawings. The offer of $2.50 still holds for each of the' 10 best con tributions. The contest closes March 8. All material is dated as it conies into the office and contributions are wanted as far ahead of the closing date as possible. Short is interested in an art heading for his section. If it is necessary to know the name for the depa.’tnient before drawing the headline, ho may have sug gestions upon consultation. Sug gestions are wanted for a name. ASSOCIATED STUDENTS WILL MELT THURSDAY Program to Consist of Business and Music The assembly hour Thursday morning will be given over to the third student body meeting of the year. Following the short business meeting of the associated students, short talks will be given by the coaches - on spring sports, and the school of music is to give a special program for the remaining part of the hour. The main business to bo taken up Thursday, as announced by Claude Robinson, president of the associated students, yesterday, will bo an amend ment to the by-laws framed by the forensic people to change the pattern of the debate award.

Florence Baker was high-point woman for tho seniors with a total of ninei points, and Anna DeWitt for the sophomores with 10 points to her credit. Both teams are made up of strong swimmers and the meet was close in every event. Tonight, at 5 o’clock, the junior second teem and sophomore-senior second will meet. OREGON TO MEET BEARCATS TODAY Willamette Game, Winding Up Season for Varsity, to be Played at Salem NINE MEN TO MAKE TRIP After - Conference Contest Psychology Makes Odds Bigger Than Customary The rather anti-elimatic ending of Oregon's basketball season will take place tonight when Billy’s boys wind up their schedule! at Salem with the Willamette Bearcats as opponents. Oregon trounced the Salem quintet earlier in the season by a good safe margin and, in spite of varsity reverses, the local team is still picked as the favorite. There is, however, a certain psy chology that is against the Lemon Yellow in that the garnet has no bearing on the conference standings anl there is not a great deal of honor attached to hanging up a vic tory over the smaller institution. History Is Recalled On the other hand, it would be quite a feather in the cap of the Methodists to lower Oregon’s colors, especially when bucking such odds. This recalls to memory the time when Oregon came within two games of winning the Coast con ference honors in the winter of 1921, losing to California. Then, after beating all of the major teams in the Northwest, Oregon was barely able to defeat the Bear cats, 26 to 25, in the final game of the season. Nine men, accompanied by Billy, will make the trip to the eapitol city for tonight’s tussle. Latham, Cowans, Hobson, Gillenwaters and Rockhey will probably be the line up that will receive tiro assignment, with Chapman, Jost, Gunther and Stoddard ready to jump into the fray as relief material. Chapman’s Knee Better Chappy ’h knee, although not healed, is in much better shape, and it is possible that ho may relievo either Rockhey or Gillen waters in tho initial lineup. A light prac tice was held last night in the men’s gymnasium. There was no scrim mage, the workout being confined to signal drill. DR. SMITH TO GIVE TALK Japanese Earthquake Will be Topic of Illustrated Lecture An illustrated lecture, for which special slides have been made, con carning the earthquake of Septem ber, 192.'i, in Japan, will bo delivered by Dr. W. D. Smith, head of the geology department, Wednesday evening at 7:20 in Deady hall. The lecture, which is being held under the auspices of the Techni cal society of tho University, will be of special interest to geology and architecture students. Soma of the structures which withstood the shock with the least damage will be illustrated and discussed. All students, however, are invited to attend and it is believed that the interest of tho talk will not be confined to geology and architec ture majors atones as the subject will be treated from other less technical angles. Keen Nature Interpretation Shown in Schroft Exhibition Art lovcirs will be privileged to visit the exhibition of the work of Alfred H. Schrcff in his studio across Eleventh street from the campus, until March l(i. The studio is open to the public from 2 to 5 o’clock i each afternoon, with informal groups scheduled for the evenings. Thei maturity of Mr. Schroff’s work immediately impresses 'one. It has a mellowness, a ripeness, that lias developed through years of study through a very great gift. I The first impression is the beauty i of color—a richness in his land scapes which gives them their decor ative charm. Closer analysis, how ever, reveals his keen observation 'of nature, and the technique which | enables him to reproduce the truth he sees, with the greatest simplicity unit sincerity. “The Iilack Fog” and “The Mount of Mists” gives us subtlety of the finest sort and har mony of form. Sunlight and fog, and the delicate illusion of moon light, offer contrasts which display the artist’s versatility. Striking in subject and treatment is “The Witch Tree,” a California scene, in which, against a back ground of yellow mist and greenish sea, the dark tree reaches upward like clutching fingers from the earth. Both water colors and oils are present in the exhibition. The opalescence of the water colors can. (Continued on page three)
