OREGON DOWNS COUGARS IN LAST DASH FOR TITLE o o o SEND HIM A TELEGRAM Coach Billy Reinhart COME ON! GET BEHIND THEM! We won that game last night! There are only two mbre left. We’ve got to win those. Why? Because we want another chance to take a crack at the Aggies and make ’em look sick. And we want to fly that conference pennant from our highest flagpole. One of the decisive conflicts is tomorrow night. It is with the Idahb quintet, and the Idaho quintet is dangerous. Those Vandals will play on their own floor and that floor is a tricky one for visitors. Remember that “come back’’ the Varsity made Friday night. How was it done? By our men making up their minds they were going out on that floor and show the Aggies up. And they did! libu helped them do it. You helped them because you were behind them. They could hear you, feel you, scrapping with them. You can’t be in Moscow tomorrow night. But there is a way you can let them know you haven’t forgotten where they are and why they are there. How are you going to let them know? By doing what the Emerald gang did this morning. By doing what Randall Jones in the name of the student body, did this morning. By sending telegrams to our coach “Billy” Reinhart. He can be reached in care of the graduate manager of the University of Idaho at Moscow. The telegraph company has made special provisions to see that “Billy” gets them. Tell “Billy” and tell the team you are down here fighting with them, cheering for them, scrapping with them. Tell them we are crazy to get another chance to see them out on the floor running circles around those Orange-and Black percentage play ers. What about it? Are you with the Emerald gang and the A. S. U. 0. president? Come on everybody! Do you claim you are fqr Oregon and Oregon is for you? Prove it! Send ’em a telegram!—Don Woodward.

SPALDING PLEASES AUDIENCE WITH MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS By Emily Houston Albert Spalding, playing before the most enthusiastic audience re cently assembled in Eugene, last night surpassed even the best cri irisms of his ability as a musician. TIis beauty of interpretation, the varying moods which ho presented and the perfect command of his instrument together with his pleas ing personality and his generosity in granting encores made the con cert one of the best ever given in Eugene. The “Pastorale,” by Tartini which was Mr. Rpabling’s first number, was played on a Mont.agni violin, used especially for the beau ty of its overtones and tuned dif ferently from the usual violin. His other violin, a Ouarnarius model, was used for the other numbers. Both instruments are old and have resonant tones. The “ Ea Fol lia” by f'orelli and edited by Mr. Spalding was also an old classic, air and was interpreted with feel ing. The “Sonata in A Major” by f'osar Franck, a production for vio lin and piano, was extremely pleas ing in its transitions from soft effects which were often played with closed eyes, to the rapid parts or parts with deep vibrant tones. The piano accompaniment always sympathetic yet taking independent parts in the Sonata was played by Andre Benoist. The last two groups were shorter numbers in varying moods from the modern production "Minstrels” by Debussy, played in staccato effnits with picking and double stop*, to the soft sweet melody of the ber ceuse which was composed by btr. Spalding and which he was edfh I polled to repeat .the second titne. His most technically brilliant num ber was the “T Palpiti” bv Pagan ini. It was commendable for the beauty of theme, the changing pas sages, the vibrant tones, the har monics played double and even with trills and double, and the diffieult technique though played with ease. IIis “Nocturne, in O” by Chopin and the “Polonaise in D” by Wien iawski were feelingly interpreted, with tlie eyes closed in the softer parts, and somtimes with the violin held high for the deeper notes or the more diffieult passages. Mr. Spalding was generous with his encores and played “Hark, Hark, the Lark,” by Schubert; “Ave Maria” by Schubert, Kreis ler’s “Liebesfreud,” and Schubert's | “Encore,” given smilingly after I rounds of applause, included “Hark Hark, the Lark,’’ and “Ave Mar j ia,” Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud,” and , Kreisler’s arrangement of the "Ser enade” by Chaminade.
