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.
