* * Oregon Daily Emerald NUMBER 161 VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY. MAY 16. 1924 DUN TO MEET AGGIE TOSSERS Varsity Nine in Good Shape for Attempt to Reverse Count With Beaver Men GAME IS AT CORVALLIS Reinhart’s Men Must Down 0. A. C. to Keep in Race for Conference Pennant Coach Bill Reinhart and the var sity ball tossers will embark for Corvallis this morning where the Lemon-Yellow nine will attempt to trounce the Aggies in one of the feature events of O. A. C’s. annual Junior Week-end program this afternoon. Realizing that they must defeat the Beavers in both games this weekend in order to have any chance for the Northwest confer ence pennant, the varsity gang has been literally, as well as figur atively, “hitting the ball hard” all week in preparation for a desper ate attempt to reverse the order of the two previous defeats by the Corvallis contingent. Coach Rein hart 's proteges have engaged in hard-fought games with the frosh each night and in each tilt their showing seemed to indicate that a victory over Coleman’s clever diamond crew is still in the realm of possibilities. The same brand of ball that the varsity put up against W. S. C. last weekend was continued in the frosh games, and in each contest the yearlings were defeated. Unless the unexpected happens, the Aggies are in for a real battle this afternoon and also l tomorrow. .At any rate, the varsity is in fine ‘fettle for the contest. Latham May Pitch Phil Ringle or Hunk Latham will probabbly start on the hillock for Oregon, opposed by either Tebb, Coleman, or Hughes. Hughes got off with a 9-3 win in the first game with the Aggies, but may not be so lucky if he starts today. The varsity stickers seem to have taken a liking to southpaw pitch ing, as was evidenced by the way they chased Otterson, the Cougar portsider, from the mound in the ninth inning of last Friday’s game. The lanky Coleman also was credited with a win in his last ap pearance against the Lemon-Yel low, but he, virtually, was mighty lucky, as the varsity slammed him for 11 hits and had him in hot water continually. Had the varsity fielding been anything like that of last week, the Lemon-Yellow would have walked off with the game. Dope Hard to Forecast Granting that the defense is as good today as it was against the Cougars, Coleman will have trouble and plenty of it if he is on the mound for the ' Aggies. But. the Beavers may start Tebb on the mound, in which case, the dope is hard to forecast. As yet the var sity has never faced Tebb. and he may prove an enigma. But there have been few pitchers this season whom the Lemon-Yellow stickers have been unable to connect with somewhat freely, so that it is un likely that Tebb will have any better success than the others. Aggies Are Weakened The Aggies are reported to be weakened today by the inability of their first-string catcher, Faurie, to play on account of a sprained thumb. But, on the other hand, “Red” Ridings, their stellar short stop, will probably be back in the fray, so that things are even up on that score. Ridings will bolster the Aggie hitting strength con siderably, and it is fairly strong now, as Oregon outfielders can at test. As for the varsity lineup, it will, no donbt, be the same as that which defeated Washington State. Sorsbv, Terrill and Latham will take care of the gardens, provid ing the latter does not pitch. In that case. Wright, King, or Rin gle will take care of right field. Cook, Ross, Bittner, and Hobson will cavort in the infield, with Jaek Bliss behind the bat. A Fitting Tribute (AN EDITORIAL) Friday and Saturday nights at Oregon are devoted to play by a majority of Oregon students. Even a great many of the most studious consider those nights theirs to use as they please in order that they may be rested mentally for the coming week. There is one man at least in this student body who has not enjoyed that, privilege this year. While Oregon danced or picnicked or read favorite books or slept on those nights of recreation, Claude Robinson, the student body president, could usually be seen bending over his desk in the little office in the “shack” making up some of the class work missed during the preceding week. When people have to make up work it is usually on ac count of neglect. Not so with Oregon’s A. S. U. 0. execu tive. His difficulty was the great burden of work which pours into his office in connection with his official duties. Sacrifices of time, money and energy also have been nec essary. But Claude has given it up, cheerfully and without mak ing faces or calling people to come and look at him. His work has been done quietly and well. A great many impor tant movements which have been carried out on the campus this year have been the result of his planning, and in most cases someone else has received most of the credit. His recent election to Phi Beta Kappa, which was a re markable achievement, considering his outside work, and the high regard he holds in the minds of his fellow students, and especially those who have been closest to him, are two rewards which have come to him as the result of his service. Yesterday his fellow classmen bestowed another upon him by giving him a substantial majority in the Albert Prize contest. It was a true vote of confidence for a deserv ing man. Tt was an appreciation of his splendid and self sacrificing service to the student body that was unmistak able. It is a fitting climax to the campus career of one who has served so well in the highest position the Associated Students can offer. It is entirely fitting that the man who has held the posi tion of student-body president, the highest place the cam pus has to offer, should receive the highest honor that a senior can receive. The Emerald joins the entire student body in hearty con gratulations to Claude Robinson—a leader, a student, but most of all a real man. A. S. R. J. STITT WILSON TO SPEAK AT LUNCHEON Three Dimensions of Man Cited by Lecturer Man has three dimensions, phy sieality, intellectuality, and spirit : uality, and the greatest of these is spirituality, according to J. Stitt Wilson, former mayor of Berkeley and well known lecturer, before college students throughout the country, who spoke last eve ning in Villard hall on the topic, “War and Democracy.” Consider ing man in terms of mathematics, Mr. Wilson said emphatically, “ You can’t get a solid out of pil ing u,p plaices which have cjhly length and breadth, and you can’t get a man by piling up physicality and intellectuality. You will never know the meaning of life until you register yourself in. your third dimension. Y’ou must work toward the ends, pursuits, reasons of life, and don’t let anything cheat you out of the third dimension of your being,” urged the speaker in great seriousness. It is neither the physical being or the mind that is the most important side of man, but his depth, said Mr. Wilson. The speaker sketched the need of clear thinking and adequate definition in the world today. “What is needed,” he said, “is thinking broadly, deeply, and 'clearly on every subject.” It is a pathetic thing, he observed, td see the number of college students, particularly seniors, who do not know what they are going to do. “Life is undefined for them,” was the way he expressed it. In connection with definitions, Mr. Wilson pointed out the need for stndents to use powerful, (Continued on page four) EXECUTIVE COUNCIL HAS LAST MEETING Leake, Sophomore, Made Emerald Manager The final meeting of the 1923-24 executive council, held yesterday afternoon, with the new members sitting in, saw the appointment of a new Emerald manager, the re election of the present graduate manager, and the carrying out of the usual routine of business, which included, this time, the formal awarding of numerous awards for activities. Two candidates were in the race for the managership of next year’s Emerald, but the recommendation of the present manager and of next year’s editor swung the position for James Leake, a sophomore, who is reported to have done exception ally good work on the business staff this year. The appointment has been held up for some weeks until the election of the new edi tor. The editor is responsible for the whole paper and his recom mendation was absolutely neces sary before the publications com mittee would make any recommen dation to the executive council. Jack Benefiel was unanimously re-elected to succeed himself in the office of graduate manager at the same salary he is receiving lliis year. The council expressed ap proval of the work which Mr. Benefiel has done, and in view of the large debt of the A. S. IT. O., his policy of economy was com mended In order to avoid any tro tide over athletic eligibility, the coun cil passed a mot on to require ath letic coaches to turn in the names of all men out for teams during (Continued on page three) Year Book Ready for All Who Pay Remaining $2; Edition Practically Sold 1,500 COPIES PRINTED Celebration Is Planned by Members of Staff Upon Completion of Labors The 1924 Oregana has arrived! Nearly a thousand copies of the eagerly anticipated Oregon year book were brought from Oregon City by truck yesterday afternoon. Distribution will commence at 8 o’clock this morning from the Co-op and will continue throughout the day and Saturday. Books will be given out to subscribers who have already jiaid a deposit of $2.50 upon the pay ment of the remaining $2 of the total price of $4.50. In order to facili tate the process of distribution, Gibson Wright, circulation manager, has asked that all checks be made out before hand, payable to the 1924 Oregana. Most Books Sold Students are asked to call for their own copies, since no copies will be given out to other than the sub scribers. It will not be necessary to present receipts, says Myron Shannon, business manager, for a complete in j dexed record has been kept of all I subscriptions and the amount paid to I date. There are not quite enough I books on hand to entirely meet the j student demand as yet and those who call for their copies first will be most sure of receiving them. Additional copies will be sent from the press | on Saturday and at the beginning ! of the week. Practically all of the books have been sold, Shannon announced, and those students who have not paid their deposits ton copies stand a very small chance of receiving them. Hojvever, a waiting list is being made up and in case some of the books are not called for, per sons whose names are on this list will be given copies. Fifteen hun dred books were ordered from the printers and almost the entire num ber has been already sold. Mrs. Warner Honored The 1924 book contains 494 pages, which is 30 pages larger than last year’s edition and one of the largest ever produced on the cam pus. It is dedicated to Mrs. Mur ray Warner, donor of the Murray j Warner museum of oriental art, as i a very small token of the apprecia j tion of the Oregon student body j for her generous and valuable gifts J to the University, j “We realize that the year book 1 is far from perfect,” said Freda I Goodrich, editor, last night, “but it represents the very best and 1 most sincere effort on the part of the entire staff, and as such, we I are proud to present it for the ap proval of the student body. We hope that it will prove a pleasur i able reminder of a very happy and successful year at Oregon. If the students are satisfied with the hook, we shall feel amply repaid ! for all of our long hours of work and effort expended in its produc tion.” Oregana Staff Large Tlie 1924 Oregann staff was or ganized into an editorial board and section editors in charge of the various departments.

This is in ac cordance with a conference ruling, concerning which the faculty at the University of Oregon has nothing to say. There is also a question concerning the eligibility of Chick Rosenburg, which will be settled before the dual meet with Corvallis Saturday. Aggie Team Good Should Chick be unable to per form Saturday, it means that points will be lost in the javelin, broadjump, and pole vault. With O. A. C. turning out one of their best teams in years, these points will be sadly missed, especially as he is Oregon’s only possible bet in the competition against Cram, the Aggie weight man, who won the pentathlon at Seattle; McAuliffe being the only other Oregon field man who performed in last Satur day’s meet. The Aggies also have Sloan, Price and Kilertson to de pend on for garnering points in the weights, for while these men are not record holders, they are hard, consistent workers. O. A. (Vs best bets are in their quartet of milers, Walker, Graves, Butts and Mason, who are con sidered the best on the coast. Walker is last! year’s conference title holder and is considered a pos sible candidate for the Olympics. This same combination will be run (Continued on page four) —Hear ,/.

Head | Claude Bobinson ORDER OF T BENEFIT DANCE ON TONICHT Sponsors Expect to Raise $500 for Athletes The Order of the “O” benefit donee, to be given tonight at 8:30 in the Woman’s building, is ex pected to .be a success, with 300 tickets sold since yesterday morn ing. Due to a mistake in the printing, the tickets are dated for Saturday, May 17. The correct date for the dance is tonight, May 16. With another day to go in the drive for the benefit fund, it is expected that a sum of $500 will be raised for the aiding of injured athletes. Tho fund will bo con trolled by the lettermen’s organi zation and the money loaned only to athletes who are in need of funds to continue their education after being injured in sports. A now booth, built by IT. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds, painted green and yellow, has at tracted the attention of the stu dents and aided in the sale of the tags in front of the library. The committee wishes to remind the students that the sale of tickets is not merely to secure a crowd for the dance, but to reach every student on tho campus in order that the benefit fund may be made as large ns possible. Dating is go j ing ahead at a rate that indicates a good sized crowd at the dance. Both men and women are getting i the spirit of the drive and buying tickets. j The drive will be continued to night until everybody has had a chance to purchase one of the green tags, which are selling for i 50 cents each. Since the women, as well as the men, are being asked to buy, some of the campus swains are having an amusing time de ! termining whether or not their partners for the dance have tickets. They are a bit timid about asking the question outright, yet are very much interested in learning the state of affairs. A feature by Camille Burton and i music by the Mid-nite Sons are in ducements offered to those wishing to attend the dance. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Karl, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hayward, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Benefie) will be patrons ami patronesses. ROBINSON WINS ALBERT PRIZE Gillenwaters. Winterer, and Lawrence Head Classes; Some Races Are Close CARTER SENIOR SCRIBE Freshmen Cast Heaviest Vote; Balloting Handled by Joint Election Board < 'laude Robinson was selected as the man in the class of 1924, who lias made the greatest all around development during his University life, at class elections yesterday, and will be awarded the Albert prize of $25, which is presented an nually at commencement by J. H. Albert of Salem. Claude Robinson has been very prominent on the University campus, contributing much of Ms time and energy to the interests of Oregon. He is president of the student body, a member of Tau Kappa Alpha, Alpha Kappa Psi, Agora, and Friars. He filled out the term of “Dutch” Gram on the executive council last year and has also served two years on the varsity debate team. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

(Continued on page three) “His House in Order” Shows Clever Lines and Ironic Plot By Margaret Morrison Clever lines and subtly ironical , comedy, rattier than strength of j plot or strong dramatic power, < ! characterize Pinero’s “His House in Order,” produced at Guild hall last night by the University com pany. The play, while weak p.n j construction and technique, sue- ; needs through its sometimes obvi ous and sometimes not so obvious laughter at the expense of that . nuch ridiculed institution—Eng lish aristocracy. Patricia Novlan Byrne, taking the lead of the drama, Nina, car ried her audience with her during the entire play by her kaleidosco pic personality. The* fact that she had the sympathy of the audience \ speaks of true dramatic power in J her interpretation, for the part of Nina is not so admirably drawn that it invokes sympathy. Making the best of a weak part, Terva Hubbard, playing Hil ary Jesson, baehelor brother of the insipid Filmer M. P., gave interest ing variety to an extremely mon otonous character. Elderly snobs are seldom interesting, yet Beth Fariss in the part of Lady Ridgfely gave the audience the greatest number of laughs in the “comedy.” Her part was so obviously a cari cature that the audience felt secure in laughing at her every word. Clifford Zehrung, in the part of Sir Daniel Bidgely, showed the promise of a future lead in Guild hall productions. His characterisa tion was never over-done. Gerda. (Continued on page three)
