VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 NUMBER 144 VARSITY MEETS Fast Meiji Nine, on Coast Tour, to Play Oregon’s Team on Local Diamond HARD FIGHT EXPECTED Reinhart’s Men Feeling Fit: Oriental Champs Have Shown Fielding Ability Baseball will assume an interna tional aspect today when the var sity tangles with the fast Meiji nine, last year’s collegiate cham pions of Japan. The game is scheduled for 2:30 or soon after ward. Fresh from a successful two game series with Whitman, Rein hart’s tossers are in fine fettle for this contest, but from advanced notices the touring Orientals will make them hump to' win. The Meiji nine will be particularly anx ious to cop today’s game as their tour of the Pacific Coast thus far has not been very successful. In their contests to date, they have come out victors in only one. They -defeated a Tacoma semi-pro nine in their third game. Their first two contests with the Washing ton Huskies resulted in defeats by close margins, 2-1 and 5-1. The Nippon Athletic Club of Seattle nosed them out in a hard fought game, 4-3. Gonzaga university also handed them a defeat, 9-8. Long view Athletic Club and the Port land Knights of Columbus, are other aggegations which won over the invaders. Strong Team Promised Despite these losses the Japs gave a good account of themselves in all their contests. Press notices of the games give them credit for being particularly clever fielders and strong at the bat though not heavy hitters. Their pitchers are all curve ball artists and will givo the varsity sluggers something to puzzle over. The varsity contingent, on the other hand, will be greatly strengthened by the experience gained in the two clashes with the Missionaries. The Whitman games showed the fans that Bill Reinhart has a fast ball club in the making this year. The infield quartet of Latham, Ross, Bittner, and Hobson should prove on a par with any in the conference after it has gained a bit more experience, while the outfield led by Sorsby in center is a formidable trio of fly chasers. Sausser, Pil and Brooks performed well in the box. One of the most pleasing features of the Whitman games was the batting of the var sity. Oregon’s batters made ex actly 29 safe hits during the 21 innings they participated; in. If the sluggers continue to keep their batting eyes, the chances for a victory over the Orientals seem good. Ringle to Pitch Coach Reinhart has not decided on his entry in the box today but it is likely that Ringle will draw the assignment. Pil may also be given a chance against the invad ers, but it is probable that he and Sausser will be held over for the .clashes with Washington Monday ;find Tuesday. The rest of the line up will be the same as in the Whit man games. Latham, Ross, Bittner, and Hobson will function in the infield, while Terrill, Sorsby, and Wright or Peterson will cover the gardens. Sam Cook will be behind the bat. Special Pledges Obtained from Honorary Groups Special pledges which were given to the Student Union yes terday came from Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Church, and from Phi Theta Kappa, women’s honorarv commerce fraternity, and Mortar Board, women’s national honorary fraternity. Miriam Swartz, soli citing, obtained the pledges from the fraternities. Mr. Church "'rote a check for $200. And Mrs. Church wrote one for $100. The honorary groups each pledged $150. The campaign took a sudden flux yesterday afternoon, accord ing to Haddon Kockhey. Con tributions fairly poured into the campaign headquarters. And Rockhey urges all solicitors to do their level best today and above all things to keep at all times in toueh with the headquarters. PRESIDENT AND WIFE PLEDGE 9)500 TO FUND Executive Is Pleased With Progress of Drive Announcement was made at the campaign workers ’ luncheon yes terday that President and Mrs. Campbell had pledged $500 to the Student Union fund. The follow ing letter from the president was read to the assemblage: “The news of the progress of the Student Union Campaign on the campus is most encouraging. Its effect on the interest of the alumni and that of the people of Eugene and the state at large is already visible, and will be far reaching. Every dollar pledged by students will be multiplied many times by its effect on later stages of the campaign. “Oregon students are again demonstrating in a larger and finer way than ever before the public spirit, vision and altruism charac teristic of this campus, and especi ally the utter devotion to Alma Mater which is Oregon Spirit. The student campaign is going 'over the top’ and will thereby insure the success of each successive stage of the whole great movement. “We are all proud of the response, and when those who are students now return to the campus ‘in the years to be,’ I am sure that they also will feel a thrill of pride at the recollection that they were so important a part of the events which helped to make the great University.” P. L. CAMPBELL. CARLSON’S PICTURES ARE BEING STUDIED The methods by which an artist arrives at the successful completion of a painting are being studied by several of the students and faculty of the school of architecture and allied arts by copying some of the paintings in the John F. Carlson exhibition. Carlson’s works will remain on the campus until Sun day, and the last chance to see the canvasses will be from 2 to 5 o’clock that afternoon, Dean Ellis F. Lawrence, head of the school, states. That Carlson has combined some of the fine points of technique of five famous artists, and yet achieved one of his own, is the opinion of Dean Lawrence. These artists whom he believes to have had some part in the development of Carlson are Garber, Twatchman, Charles Davis, Wendt, and Dodge McKnight. SIDELIGHTS GATHERED FROM UNION CAMPAIGN Raymond Porter, senior in geol ogy, was approached by a solicitor. *‘I do not believe in the Student Union,” said Porter, “but I will subscribe $260 to the library fund, the same as alumni are being asked to pledge.” Porter was signed by the solicitor for $260. A man from Vanderbilt univer sity is one of the most tireless workers on the campus. “He has been signing up students day and night,” said Doug Farrell. • • * He is a modest chap and doesn’t want his name published, but he has the “real Oregon spirit.” This is his first year on the eampus and he doesn’t expect to come back. Perhaps he is determined to put as much into this one year as most students put into their four years. Today is the day for entertain ment, according to the committee. If you don’t know what’s going to happen, keep your eyes open to night. You needn’t bother about your, ears. You will be able to hear something, all right.

Coach Hayward also intends to pick his freshmen runners for the Frosh-Rook carnival at Cor vallis next week from the show ing made by the' green cappers to day. Square Mix Promised This meet means more to the freshmen than any other class, for it is their one opportunity to in dulge in a square mix against the whole school. Last term in the inter-class relays, they lost to the sophomore team by a narrow mar gin for second place, while the combined junior and senior crews walked off with first place.

Frosh to Report The field judges are: Blake, i Bailey and Wells; inspectors, Sam' Bass Warner, Spike Leslie and Dean Bovard. The announcers: H. Rockhey and Hal Chapman, and the scorer, Ed Fraser. In connec tion with these officials, Coach Hayward asks that those freshmen listed elsewhere for work on the track report by 9 o ’clock sharp this morning so that the work might be finished efficiently. It is also announced that the finishes of all sprint and hurdle races will be in front of the grand stand, and the distance runs finish in front of the bleachers across the field. The coach also asks that the spectators do not cross the field during the meet, and that lots of the girls turn out for the event, since the men always perform bet ter under their inspiration.

NEW BALL FIELD UNLIKELY TO BE FINISHED THIS YEAR Although the University work men are still working on the new baseball diamond, there are no hopes of having it ready for use very soon, according to H. M. Fish er, superintendent of the campus buildings and grounds. The earth of the diamond is too soft and sandy, Mr. Fisher said, and the field may not be finished satisfac torily in time to use this year.

SIX ATTEND PORTLAND MEETING OF SIGMA XI Six members of Sigma Xi, honorary science fraternity, drove to Portland yesterday afternoon by automobile to attend the April meeting of the organization, which was held there this weekend. The meeting was postponed from last weekend on account of Easter holidays. Prof. Harry B. Yocom, secretary of the organization, said that it is expected the members will be elected at this meeting. However, he gave no assurance on this point because of the fewness of the num ber that made the trip. All prob abilities are that the entire mem bership from the Medieal school will be on hand, said Yocom. “The Effect of Thyroid Feeding on the Structure and Color of the Feathers of the Domestic Fowl,” was the title of a lecture given to the organization last night, fol lowing the banquet at the Portland University club. It was given by Ben Horning of the zoology depart ment. DR. CHARLES A. KOFOID TO ADDRESS JOINT MEET Dr. Charles A. Kofoid, professor of zoology 'at the University of California, will address the joint meeting of Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa some time during the first week of June. His subject will be on the amoebic infection. It is under Dr. Kofoid that Dean Colin V. Dyment is being treated for amoebic infection. Rally at Noon Revives Spirit of Canvassers Junior Class Retains Fair Lead in Competition With 75 Per Cent of Subscriptions Signed; Last Quarter of Quota Is to be Secured Today The quota thermometer continues to climb. Yet the little red marker has even greater altitudes to explore before the top is reached. At noon yesterday the pledges to Student Un ion amounted to $130,140. This is slightly more than 65 per cent of the $200,000 goal. The executive committee is hopeful that the remaining 35 per cent of pledges will be obtained by tonight before the rally. Yesterday at the third banquet of the drive the lagging spirits of the workers were revived. They were inoculated with the vigor of which the leaders had not rid themselves.

MISS TALBOT ENTERTAINS THREE CAMPUS VISITORS Miss Fanny McComant of Phila delphia, Pennsylvania; Miss Mabel Withy combe of Portland, Oregon; and Mrs. Charles F. Swigert, also of Portland, were guests of Miss Gertrude Talbot of Hendricks hall yesterday afternoon and evening. They had driven down from Port land, and left for the south this morning. Miss Withycombe was at one time head resident of Susan Campbell hall. it was announced that Mr. and Mr*. P. L. Campbell had subscribed to the Union fund to the amount of $500 to be paid in ten years, applause was heard and smiles wreathed the face* of all present. Tho picture was not "°ne of gloom, but one of faith and hope. John MacGregor, former pres ident of the student body, drove home the importance of the success of this drive to the success of those which follow. Rosebraugh Gives Talk A plea was made by Arthur Rosebraugh in behalf of the school of law. Rosebraugh told the solic itors they had a mistaken notion of the attitude of the school of laNv toward the Student Union Drive. “We are not a bunch of bolshe viks,” Rosebraugh contended. “There are some persons in the school of law who perhaps have conscientiously objectod to the campaign. A few solicitors who visitod members of the school were confronted with sincero arguments by their prospects, and they turned tail and fled. Then they brought back tho report that we were buck ing the drive. "f (^af° 8!ly that in proportion to its size tho school of law has pledged moro to the Union than any other school. Because a few law students perhaps like to argufy is no sign the school is recalcitrant in spirit. Wo are behind the Stu dont Union drive. Come down and got our pledges.” Mary Skinner told of the work which is expected of the flying squadron before the clock strikes twelve tonight. Tho members of this emergency group have the task of winning over those who are hanging in the balance. There are able workers comprising the squad ron who hope to keep the gauge moving upward all day. Farrell Aarouseis Students Douglas Farrell fairly wept be fore the crowd, exhorting them to their best efforts in the time remaining. He was afraid the drive was not going over unless some startling results were ob tained in brief time. The dinner over, the workers all formed in parade at the east end of the Woman’s building and marched to the campaign head quarters where, midst shouts and the playing of the band, the day’s scores were posted. The junior class was still leading, having subscribed 75 per cent of its quota. The seniors and sopho mores are nose and nose, both struggling around the 68 per cent mark. The freshmen are lagging in the rear, slightly over the 60 per cent figure. Yesterday the seniors brought in *7,175, the'juniors $9,705, the soph omores $10,580, and tho freshmen $13,950.
