To Encourage Squad in
Dash for Title Honors
Oregon meets Idaho tonight at
MoseOW. The game will be an im
portant one for Oregon. Victory
may mean a tie for the northern
division honors. Defeat means that
the Vftraity is in second place. If
the game is won, only one obstacle
stands ili the way of a play-off ser
ies with O. A. C. That is the game
with Washington. Coach Rein
hart's men will have more than an
even break with the Huskies.
Yesterday telegrams representing
the entire student body, the Emer
ald) flndf dozens of individual or
ganizations went over the wire to
the Oregon coach and his hard
fighting men. A marked copy of
the Emerald, with its radio .iubilee
news display, went to every player
by special delivery.
Bend Many Messages
The entire student body is back
of the team. That means a great
deal to the men away from home,
on a strange floor. It is the next
best thing to a widely enthusias
tic rooting section. The stimulus
may be just enough to turn, the
game for Oregon.
The varsity was not pushed hard
to Win the Cougar contest Tuesday
night, and the men are in excellent
condition. A day’s rest will take
aWay any fag that the W. S. C.
game might have caused.
Ike regular Oregon line-up will
Stitt against the Vandals. Hobson,
whose playing was the most sensa
tional Seen on the Cougar floor this
sealton, and Gowans, star floor man
and depart converter, will start at
fbr#atd. Okerberg, whose uner
ring eye has placed him among the
leaders in conference scoring, will
be at center, while Westergren,
With either Jost or Gillenwater,
will .be checking at the guards.
Idaho will use their regular line
up. Nelson and Penwell or Green,
forwards; Erickson, center; and
Miles and Canine, guards.
Yhe Vandals have a consistent
Scoring machine, and their team
work Is an outstanding feature.
They Will be further aided by the
peculiar Idaho floor, which proved
thfc undoing of the Washington five
in their game at Moscow.
Expect Bitter Fight
Tt Will be a bitter fight, for the
Northerners are out to avenge the
48 to 35 defeat handed them here
twb Weeks ago. Oregon will rely
mainly on its cheeking ability to
wih the game.
If Oregon comps out of this con
test victorious, several Oregon stu
dents are planning to journey to
Seattle to support the varsity. Two
vietoties will give the Oregon team
a chance at a series with the Ag
gies. This may be played in Port
land hext week. The victor would
then be entitled to play the winner
in the southern division for Coast
honors.
More telegrams, crammed with
Oregon spirit, are expected to go
to Moscow today. The address,
“Billy Reinhart, Coach, Oregon
Basketball team. University of Ida
ho, Moscow,” will take any tele
gram direct to the coach and team.
TRY-OUTS FOR VODVIL
WILL CONTINUE TODAY
Announcement of those selected
for parts in the musical comedy,
which will be presented at Junior
Vodvil May 8 and 9, will not be
made for several days, according to
a statement made by Paul Krausse,

The first try-outs were held in the
Tampa Shoppe yesterday after
noon: but since they will not be

by Nina Warnock, vocal duet by
Betty Nelson and Pick Adam, vocal
solos by Aubrey Furry and Pick
Adam and a piano, violin and vocal
trio by other members of the or

New Club Formed
For Purpose of
Improving Radio
A radio club for flip purpose
of improving radio utility in Eu
gene was organized Tuesday
night at the Chamber of Com
merce rooms. The group will at
tempt to secure some profession
al or government man to come
to Eugene to check up on the
amateur operation of radio, and
any other interferences with
radio reception which he may
find.
All (he students and faculty
men who are interested may be
come charter members of the
club by paying a dollar fee be
fore the first of March. When
O. Tt. lied fern, the government
inspector for the Northwest is in
Eugene, the body will be reor

The officers elected for the
club are: A. S. Myers, president;
W. .\. Whether, vice president;
and Robert Callahan, secretary
and treasurer. The time for the
next meeting has not ns yet been
definitely determined.
Differences Attributed to
Lack of Knowledge
“Honesty, charity, and faith,'’
are the virtues of the scientist, in
contrast with “faith, hope, and
charity,’ of the Christian religion,”
said Hr. William P. Boynton, head
of the department of phisics, be
fore an audience in' Alumni hull,
last night.
The scientist must work on the
assumption that the universe is or
ganized in an orderly fashion. This
is faith, said Dr. Boynton. A spir
it of tolerance is essential to the
man of science, the speaker con
tinued. The open mind, is also a
necessity.
Most of the supposed conflict be
tween science and religion is due
to lack of knowledge, the speaker
asserted. As thre is a difference
of opinion between the young and
old, so is there a difference be
tween theology and science. Relig
ion is older than any recorded his
tory; science is a “veritable young
ster. ”
The religionist is the man who is
levoted to the very real values of
religion. The scientist attempts to
liscover the new real things. Ho

Good Seats for Production
Of ‘Kempy’ At Heilig Still
Available Says Manager
The first, and only performance
of “Kempy,” side-splitting fareo
comedy, by Mask and Buskin, chap
ter of Associated University Play
ers, will be given tonight at the
lleitig theatre, at 8:30 o’clock. Al
though some plans have been made
to tako “Kempy” to Portland, it
is certain, according to Bernard
McPhillips, president of the organi
zation, that there will be no other
performance in Eugene.
Tickets are selling rapidly for the
production, announced James Leake,
business manager for Mask and
Buskin, late yesterday, but there
are still many good seats which may
bo purchased at the box office of
the Ileilig. Prices as announced
are $1.00, 75 cents, and 50 cents.
Comedy Plot Given
“Kempy” is a “sure-fire” com
edy with Gordon Wilson, as “Pa”
Bence, father of three marriageable
daughters, playing the chief humor
ous character. Bernard McPhii
lips takes the part of the snappy,
fiashingly-dressod real estate agent
who has married one of the Bence
daughters and who attempts to aid
“Pa” in his plans to marry off the
other two. Helen Park as “Ma”
Bence, is tho mother, and Jane
BoDine, Elizabeth Kerr, and Helga
McGrew as Kate, Kuth, and Jane,
respectively, are the three daugh
ters themselves. Clifford Zehrung
ns the millionaire lawyer, Duke
Merrill, is the bait for which the
Bences are angling and Walter
Malcom, as Kempy, tho plumber
with ambitions, is tho one who is
caught.
Success of Play Noted
“Kempy” was written by two
vaudeville monologists who ate
veterans of the theatre and have
combined in it all the elements
which make a comedy successful—
humor, clever lines, suspense, sur
prise—all are included. Two years
ago, “Kempy” was the biggest
comedy hit of the Now .York season
and it has only recently been re
leased for amateur production.
Mask and Buskin has presented
each year for several seasons past,
at least one play, usually given at
the Ileilig theatre. Many students
remember “The Dover Road,” pre
sented last year with Darroll Lar
I sen and Kate Pinneo in the lead.
“Come Out of the Kitchen” was the
play given the year before.
By special permission of the
student affairs committee, tonight
has been made an open night. Sfu
dents may have “dates” and Uni
versity women aro allowed to stay
out after 10:30 o’clock, to attend.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE
IN CAMPUS PIPELINE
A few minor improvements ore
being made on tho eampus from
time to time as tho weather per
mits. Work is progressing once
again on the laying of the section
pipe from tho mill race to the heat
ing plant. This has required seve
ral days labor as the pipe had to
lie taken tip from its old place
where the old heating plant used to
stand. The necessity of crossing
the railroad tracks has made the
task more difficult.
“This weather has played havoc
with ttie work, as the rain filled
in the trench which had been made
and now ttie mud has to be taken
out,” said Mr. Fisher, who is in
charge of the laying of the section
pipe.
Another improvement is the re
moval of the wire fencing which
stood around the old tennis courts
between the library and commerce
building.
