Campus Discusses Plays
Given By Fritz Leiber
At Heilig Last Saturday
(Continued from page one)
work was very commendable and
the type of humor they omployod
smacked Tnore of the period than
did Mr. Leiber’s.
When playing a part like Hamlet,
a character which has been at- j
tempted by practically every tragic
actor of note for the last two cen
turies, an actor necessarily lays
himself open to criticisnu which in
volves comparison.
I
Let us say thou that Fritz Lotto
er’s Haiulot diffors from Waiter
Hampdou’s, who is still fresh iu
our memory, ohiof'ly iu that it is
more casual. Perhaps it is this
very note that causes otto to be hold
more intently by Mr. Ltdber; ho j
attempts to (jive us un extremely 1
plausible and comprehensible Ham j
let, and appears to look at the char- i
after through the eyes of the pres
ent. He disregards the meter of
the iambic pentameter lino to a
much greater extent than did Mr.
Hampden.
There is neither time nor space
to indulge in a discussion us to
whether or not the motor should be j
rigidly followed; however the more
closely it is followed, the loftier is
the effect. Is not a lofty, grand
and very poetic interpretation prob
ably the way in which Hamlet was
played by the Elizabethans? Is
the modern casual method of de
livering these lines more effective?
Mr Burke, as Polonius, gave the
most traditional performance of
the east, while Mr. Allen’s Laertes,
while not traditional, was very
pleasing.
The use of the suggestive setting
is desirable in that it hastens the
movement of the play and cuts
down tiresome waits between
scenes. However, one could not
but feel that the dignity and gran
deur of the theme of Hamlet could
huve been enhanced by the use of
more stage. Mr. Leiber set all of
his settings very shallow, and this
of course frustrated the effect of
the ghost scene, which depends on
an air of mystery, which the close
proximity of the ghost in his white
drapings to Hamlet and Horatio
seriously intereferred with.
Mr. Leiber’s return is engerly
awaited in order to see some of
, his other Shakespearean character
izations.

Competition is offered to an
Oregon fencing team by Multno
mah Amateur Athletic Club of
Portland, and many such clubs in
California. Possibly the future will
find fencing an established inter
collegiate sport.
It will take at least two years
of rigid drill to develop a competi
tive team, for contrary to the fal
lacy that fencing is effeminate, it
is a vigorous, fatiguing sport and
is very technical to those unfamil
iar with its delights.
Coach Fahl, on account of the un
usual interest shown, has drawn up
a schedule of glasses as follows:
Monday—11 and 4 o’clock.
Tuesday—10 o’clock.
Wednesday—11 and 4 o’clock.
Thursday—9 and 4 o’clock.
Friday—11 and 4 o’clock.
Mr. Fahl will gladly give an in
terview to lyiyone interested, and
any student may sign up for closes
if they do so at once.

coived in many parts of the coun
try. This play was Miss Young’s
own selection for tonight.
The Mononi Olsen company it
self is in the nature of an all-star
organization. Organized several
years ago at Salt Lake City, it lias
met with unusual success, follow
ing the plan of making frequent
returns to the theatres of a particu
lar section of tho country. Thus
it is that tho theatre-goers of the
west are becoming devotees of this
company, whose artistic standards
are of tho highest.
A full houso is expected for the
production at the Heilig tonight.
Those who have seen Miss Young
and the Moroni Olsen players are
lavish in praise. And then—the
proceeds are to go to the upbuild
ing of the University. The local
branch of the American Associa
tion of University Women has
handled the preliminary arrange
ments and is sponsor for the pro
duction.
STUDENTS OF BIOLOGY
WILL STUDY SHARKS
Among the many different ani
mals used for experimental pur
poses in the biology and animal
anatomy classes are some 170
sharks, which are comparatively
new additions to the menagerie. The
sharks will be used by the animal
biology class in their laboratory
work, as being probably the best
example of the primitive vertebrate
that can be obtained for experi
mental purposes.
The sharks are of all kinds,
ranging from the ordinary long,
spotted variety to the type found
in the waters along the coast of
Southern California, which are so
much feared by swimmers in those
waters. These fish are of all sizes
and kinds and will be material for
study by the biology class during
nearly the entire winter term.

BIG YEARLING SQUAD
RETAINED BY EVANS
All-state Stars Out for
Frosh Hoop Team
According to Coach Evans, the
frosh hoop squad will not be cut
early this season, as has been the
plan in previous years. The year
ling’s mentor maintains that any
man willing to try consistantly for
a place on his squad is to have
every chance to prove his worth.
As the freshman athletic program
is fundamentally formulated to de
velop varsity material, ;this (plan
promises a new era in Oregon bas
ketball.
The greencappers will draw their
team from the cream of the state’s
all-star high school hoopers, and
with the regular grind of basics
progressing daily, a successful sea
■son is promised.
Trying for positions are some of
the men, well known in high school
competition. The eenter position is
contended for by Eberhart of Eu
gene high and as an all-state man,
he is a likely lad for the stretch
ing job. Swalish from Oklahoma,
and Ray Edwards from Freewater
high also are working for the cir
cle job. The forward line force
promises to be well handled by a
pair from a number of stellar can
didates. Desler, of Milton high,
Turner, an all-around man from
Spokane; Hutchinson, a star from
Jefferson high school; Beeney, a
lad from Medford, and Krudson,
another Portland star, from Benson,
are likely material for the forward
duties. The freshman hoop will be
well protected, and the guards will
be chosen from Ricksteen of Med
ford; Tom Powers, lately of Uni
versity high; Morton, from Marsh
field high and Hodgen from Ath
iena.
The competition offered the nov
ices is directed along a stiff and
interesting schedule, and Coach
Dave Evans and his subordinate,
assistant coach Edlund, will ■ be
kept busy lining up their material
for the opening game with Frank
lin high school of Portland, Janu
ary 24, at the Portland high school
gymnasium. The tentative schedule
to date is as follows:
January 24—Franklin high at
Jortland.
January 30 and 31—Medford
high at Medford.
February 7—O. A. C. Books at
Corvallis.
February 14—Medford high at
Eugene.
February 20—O. A. C. Books at
Eugene.
