TRACK TRYOUT
WILLJBE TODAY
Entire Varsity Squad to
Compete for Places in
Fast All Events Contest
SIXTEEN MEN ON TEAM
Close Rivalry and Strict
Regulations Indicate
Hard Earned Decisions
The tryouts for the Stanford
* track meet on April 11 will be held
this afternoon on Hayward field
at 2:30 o’clock with the entire var
sity squad competing in the trials.
Rainy weather has slowed v. down'
the track and the times for the
events will be somewhat slower
than they ordinarily would be.
From the winners of the events this
afternqon Bill Hayward will se
lect his sixteen-man team for the
southern trip. The sixteen man
team is much larger than the
twelve man team ordinarily taken
on trips so that Bill will have some1'
laxity in choosing his men. There
is a possibility that he will take
men in all events—that is to be
decided by the showing of the as
pirants in this afternoon’s workout.
Men in Condition
Hayward field, since the end of
last term, has been the scene of
some hard work. Conditioning has
been gone through as fast as Bill
could make it under the handicap
of bad weather. The windup for
the training for the Stanford meet
will find most of the men in con
dition. Another week and a couple
of days in the warm weather and
sunshine down south should put
them in as near top notch condition
as is possible.
Rain or shine, the races are go
ing to be hard and fast. A half
dozen men in each event are striv
ing for a place on the sixteen-man
team. It will be their supreme ef
forts for a place on the team. No
distances will be cut and the regu
lar times will be caught. The whole
thing will be run off with regular
track meet promptness after the
start at 2:30. Now is the time for
students to get a glimpse of the
caliber of the Oregon team.
Officials are Announced
Officials for the meet this after
noon will be: Del Oberteuffer,
starter; Vic Risley, Harry Scott,
Virgil Earl, Sam Cook and Bob
Gardner, judges of the finish.
HEALTH OFFICE MAKES
* PERSONNEL CHANGES

the personnel of the University
health service this term. Miss Car
ol Nance is the new record clerk,
who has taken the place of Miss
Bay Nail, who resigned and was

C. A. school office in Portland.
Miss Marie Strube, a junior in
pre-medics, on the campus, is the
new laboratory technician. She
was formerly with Matson and Bis
aillon, a firm of doctors in Port

Coach Sorsby Issues
Frosh Baseball Call
Men Asked to Enroll Today;
Practice Is Starter
By Batterymen
A general call for freshmen
baseball players has been issued by
Bill Sorsby, frosh coach, today. He
will be at the gymnasium from 9:30
a. m. on, until all available men
have signed. According to the
coach, he wishes all men going out
for^the diamond sport to sign up
today and receive full equipment,
as practice will start in earnest
next Monday.
For the past several days bat
terymen have been limbering up
and from now on pitchers and
.Catchers will work out in the out
doors gymnasium. Hours for prac
tice will be arranged according to
the players school schedule and this
way enable the coach to have only
several players out at the same
time. Sorsby figures by this way
it will enable him to give more
personal attention to the battery
men who are turning, out.
.Flayers to Be Conditioned
Preliminary work for the catch
ers and boxmen will consist of a
general conditioning of the play
ers. The new coach holds this far
more important part of the prelim
inary training. Pitchers methods of
delivery and control will be two
big things that will be considered
at the first. These initial work
outs will be easy as no chance of
ruining the arms will be taken.
Four catchers and seven, pitch
ers have so far signed up for po
sitions on the battery of the green
capper team. This array of catch
ers and. pitchers includes a number
of high school star and men who
have made a name for themselves
in semi-pro ball throughout ‘ the
State. The first year men’s coach,
however, expects that a number of
aspirants for pitching and catch
ing positions will sign up next
week.
Coach Has South-paws
Out of the seven pitchers, two
are south-paws and the new coach
has these men to fool the opposing
batters. With five right handed
pitchers Sorsby will have quite a
number of flingers from which to
Select his pitching staff. The men
reporting are: catchers, Merwyn
Benke, Astoria; Bruce Fenton,
Portland; John Caughell, Salem;
•and Jess Dewey. The pitchers, Bay
Edwards, left handed, Milton-Free
water; William Bamber, left hand
'ed, Goldendale; William Baker, In
dependence; Alfred Fries, Junction
City; Edwin Bose, Goldendale;
George Majovski, Portland; and
Keith Fennell, Eugene.
CONRAD’S VIEW NEEDED
TODAY, SAYS SHELDON
“Joseph Conrad stands for a cer
tain attitude which "we need to
day,” Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of
the school of education, said in his
assembly address Thursday in the
Woman’s building. The topic of
his address was “Joseph Conrad:
an Appreciation.”
“The essential thing in the world
today,” he explained, “is the pre
dominance of machinery, not only
in the industrial world but in the
intellectual field as well. It is a
time of syndicated articles—too im
personal, too colorless, too average.
We need the great possibilities of
human nature brought to our at
tention.”
Dean Sheldon attributed the fact
of Conrad’s Polish birth as a
formative factor in the author’s
career. Conrad, he said, expressed
the many abilities and distinct
character common among his peo
ple.
Conrad’s childhood in a period
of national defeat and sorrow was
a second factor in shaping his ca
reer, according to the speaker. Dur
ing his four or five years in France
he was profoundly influenced in
his literary style by the French,'
especially Flaubert and writers of
his school. This influence is ex
pressed,'the speaker said, in the
subdued irony and clarity of phrase
of Conrad’s style. Temperamen
tally, the speaker said, Conrad was
Latin and Slavic rather than Xor

MU PHI EPSILON PUN
FIFTH EJISTEH CONCERT
On Easter Sunday at 8 p. m. in
the auditorium of the Methodist
Episcopal church the active and
alumni members of Mu Phi Epsilon,
national Women’s music fraternity,
will present their fifth annual Eas
ter concert. Mrs. T. A. Pierson of
the alumni is in charge.
It is reported that an unusually
good sacred program has been ar
ranged which includes violin, vocal
and cello solos and ensemble num
bers. In order that the townspeople
may enjoy the concert, several Eu
gene churches have dispensed with
their evening services.
The concert last year proved one
of the most outstanding musical
events of the year and drew one of
the largest audiences ever assem
bled in Eugene.
Urgent Need For
Intelligence Tests
Found on Campus
Why intelligence tests? Are
high school students, upon enter
ing the University, of equal ca
pacities? Is Alexander Meikle
john not right, in his contentions?
It happened this way, let the
blame fall where it will. A stu
dent enrolled at the beginning
%of the winter term in a history
course to be administered, so the
registration manual asserted, in
a room in the Oregon building, at
a certain time each day. Between
the time when the bulletin was
printed and the time when the
term commenced the meeting
place of the class was changed,
unknown to the student, to.Guild
theatre, and a class in political
science substituted at the same
hour in the Oregon building.
When the scandal sheet came
out recently the said student was
indeed surprised to find that even
though he had attended lectures
religiously, he had an F in the
course in which he was practi
cally certain of a II grade. Per
haps the intelligence tests should
include the professors too, who
knows?

CALLS FOR LABOR FEW
AT CAMPUS Y.M.C.A.
Activities of the Y. M. C. A. ser
vice department are on a temporary
wane, reports Mrs. Charlotte Don
nelly, service secretary of the cam
pus hut. The revival of the labor
market during the latter part of
last term has been offset by a re
cent slump caused by rainy weath
er.
The demands for housing ser
vices have been uncommonly few
in number so far this term. Indi
cations are that there is little mov
ing and changing of quarters.' Only
a very few new students have
sought aid in finding quarters.

The meeting of the doughnut rep
resentatives called for Monday to
decide whether baseball will be
played this year or not. At pres
ent Virgil Earl, director and man
ager, faces the problem of organiz
ing a schedule that will suit the
teams and meet with the favor of
the faculty.
The main obstacle in She way of
the games is the desire of the fac
ulty that no games shall be played
either before the eight o’clock
classes or after six in the evening.
This plays havoc with the possi
bility of a diamond as the ceme
tary ridge field is being used by
the varsity at present. Freshman
practice will start Monday and as
approximately 80 or more men are
expected to turn out playing space
will be entirely utilized. The var
sity will move to the new diamond
in the next week or so, thereby
taking up the two playing fields.
Lack of Fields Felt
Due to the lack of proper playing
fields on the campus doughnut
baseball is facing the possibility
of being discarded for this year.
The varsity and frosh practice per
iods come at the only possible time
for the scheduling of games there
by causing conflicts.
There are two possibilities of
overcoming this handicap, however,

MUSIC SCHOOL FACULTY
GIVES RADIO CONCERT
The faculty of the school of mu
sic gave a radio concert Tuesday
evening of vacation week over
KGW from Portland under the aus
pices of the extension division. The

singer were in the same room, ac
cording to a letter received by
Madame Rose McGrew from Palo
Alto.
Rex Underwood, accompanied by
his wife, gave a violin selection.
Jane Thatcher gave several piano
solos. Madame Rose McGrew, ae- <
companied by Louis Artau, sang a
number of songs. The people of ‘
Palo Alto considered the concert ]
a great treat. They report that i
the piano and violin selections car
ried very well. ,
Members of Mu Phi Epsilon also c
gave a concert from KGW last i
Thursday. Laura Teschner, presi- i
dent of the active local chapter of i
Mu Phi, cellist; Alberta Potter, <
violinist, and Beulah Clark on the I
flute gave the greater part of the !
program. Genevieve Clancy Dun
core, of the class of ’22, and also i
a member of Mu Phi, sang several j

Caples. ,
Picnic Called Off;
Leap Week to End
With Skating Party
Gordon Wilson, Jens Terjesen,
i and Don Peak, of the committee
in charge of the Coburg picnic,
the final event of the senior
leap week, got their heads to
gether yesterday and took a look
at the sky while the rain shower
ed down; Wilson, the chairman,
then announced that the outdoor
affair set for the Coburg bridge
this afternoon would give way
to the alternative plan of a
skating party downtown. The
party will be at the Winter Gar
den, and it will start at 1:00.
Margaret McCabe will be in
charge of the food, of which it
is said there will be plenty at
the hall.
Since the floor cannot be sof
tened everyone is advised to
bring pillows and to wear old
clothes.
After the skating, if anyone
still feels able to dance, a dance
will wind up the affair.
All senior women are advised
by the committee to avail them
selves of their last chance at the
leap-week privileges.
As an added incentive the par
ty is to be a no-date affair.
CANOE FINALS WILL BE
FEATURE OF FIELD DAY
Swimming Test Required
Of All Candidates

building.
Class teams will be chosen by
May 4. Six practices are required
before any candidate is eligible for

cause canoeing is a sport that re
quires a great deal of practice,”
said Grace Sullivan.
In addition ffl the six required
practices, all candidates for places
an teams must pass a twenty-yard
swimming test which involves en
tering the tank from the side, head

STUDENTS LEARN SWIMMING
DUE TO SCHOOL REQUIREMENT
“Thou Bhalt Be Able to Swim I
[n Order to Graduate,” seems to be
he golden maxim which the school
>t physical education is enforcing
ipon all students of the University,
rhe present ruling requires every
>erson graduating to be able to
iwim.
At any rate the school of physi
cal education is making a success
vith this present ruling. On Oe
ober 1, 1923, out of the present
ophomore class, 140 men were
lassed as non-swimmers. That is,
hey were unable to swim two
engths of the tank on their stom
ich and one half on their back,
'ree style. Two hundred and nine
nen out of the class took physical
ducation class work.
At the end of the winter term,
torch 20, 1925, out of the 313
ophomores taking the physical edu
ation work with the physical abil
ity men included there are only 44
who can still be classed as non
swimmers Sixty-seven per-cent of
the men couldn’t swim at the be
ginning of their freshman year, Oc
tober 1, 1923; not including the ap
proximate 100 who were physical
ability men. Out of the 313 men
at the end of the just completed
winter term .only 14 per-cent were
unable to swim and received in
completes in their physical educa
tion. These incompletes run for &
duration of two years and may be
made up any time during that per
iod.
It can be readily seen that the
school of physical education has
been very successful in teaching
the greater portion of non-swim
mers to swim. Every year a large
number of non-swimmers enter the
University but are taught to swim
during their four year course.
