FROM NINE HIT NT BAD WEATHER Practice Game Prevented; More Work Needed ASPIRANTS OUT TOTAL 61 Sorsby Segregates Men for Doughnut Competition The recent bad weather and poor condition of the playing field has been playing havoc with the plans of Bill Sorsby, freshman coach, for baseball practice. A game sched uled for last evening with Eugene high school was put out of the question by the spring showers. Several other practice games have been scheduled with this high school, however, and will be played later in the training season. The poor condition of the field has made infield practice' virtually impossible. The only real workout, the in fielders have had up to date has been in hit ting and bunting. Three more men signed up yester day, bringing the total of freshman baseball aspirants up to 61. Com petition for places on the yearling team has been strong with about sjx lively candidates for every po sition. Some Likely Candidates The men who have been making an exceptional showing at the pres ent time are: Hugh Wallace, Fred J^eebuyth, Howard Eberhart, first base; Boldon Babb, William Mathi son, second base; .Tim Hanley, Lind sey Doty, shortstop; Mark McAllist er, Maurice Spatz, .Tack Puusti, third base; .Tack Hempstead, Rov Newby, Burton Nelson, Leonard Mayfield, Ray Edwards, outfielders; Merwyn Benke, Bob Hemmings, John Caughcll, Bruce Fenton, Jess Dewey, catchers. The pitchers and outfielders are fast rounding into condition, but as yet the only pitcher in condition is Bill Baker. The intramural baseball games will be played on the old Cemetery Ridge diamond three times a week from now on until the schedule is completed, snaking it. necessary for Coach Sorsbv to take his squad over with the varsity on the new dia mond. This new field will acconi modate only about •'!•'> more, so it was necessary to post a list of eligibles for doughnut baseball who will not bo allowed to go out for the freshman team until the com pletion of the intramural baseball schedule. Sorsby, in making up the li«t, picked those he thinks need more actual playing experience. These men will probably partici pate in doughnut baseball games and may return to tjie regular squad for a more thorough try-out at the completion of the doughnut sched ule. The men not posted will be considered ns the regular fresh squad. Fast Team Expected Tt is still too early to predict any thing except that Sorsby is figur ing on a fast scrappy nine, with plenty of fight if nothing else. The outfielders have been at batting practice and chasing flv balls knock ed to the outfield. Tile men are beginning to hit better than in early practice but need much more work along this line. Practice yesterday, because of the rain, was limited to hitting, base running, sprinting, and right and left-side hook slides. Tf weather conditions are favor able a practice game will be played with University high school next Friday afternoon on their diamond. Next week will probably see the | A arsitv and freshmen mix in sev eral practice games. These will be played throughout the training; period. A definite schedule of games 1 for the frosli baseballers has not been completed. University is Lacking In Athletic Equipment, Declares Dean Bovard ♦ ._ (Continued from page one) for the majority of students. Fae- ■ ilities for all branches of sport are' provided, and men are on hand to instruct in these. Coming to college to play foot ball, basketball or baseball is not an unworthy ambition. Dean Bo yard said. The men that do this; can take up an athletic career, gain a background in the classroom, and then go forth as competent coaches or physical directors, {he 1 pointed out. Often, too, the man who comes to college to take up some sport, finds himself, and turns into an excellent student. Thus the stimulus is an excellent one. he de dared, and students should he en couraged in this line if it occupies ! the larger share of their interest. Work in Harmony The several departments coming under the athletic regime at Ore gon arc working in close harmony, Dean Bovard said, and a bright era .of athletics is at hand here. Ore gon is expected to maintain a high i place in Coast athletics, and at the fapie time, a large number of stu dents will come into actual contact with the various sports, he pointed out. , The University is somewhat han dicapped by lack of facilities, and such things as a new gymnasium, a new stadium, a new swimming pool, and other aids are vital needs, he said. The officials are now work | ing toward a definite program, I and in time sufficient; facil | ities are expected to be available. High School to Give Opera Of Flowery Kingdom Mrs. Anne Lansberry Beck Directing Production “Crimson Eyebrows,” one of the ; most delightful operas of the year, I will be presented this coming Fri |day and Saturday evenings by the j glee club of the University high school in the new auditorium of the | school of music. Mrs. Anne Lands bury Beck, of the University school of music faculty, is directing the opera. She is well-known as a di rector and composer of operas from the “Hour Hand,” which was pre sented last year by University stu dents. The proceeds from the per formances this week-end; wiljl go into the student body fund of the University high school. Annong the unique features of “Crimson Eyebrows,” the origin of the story is reputed to be the most interesting. With the opening of the Christian era, a usurper by the name of Wang Mang, played by Dean Scott, who had been a pow erful official during the reign of Emperor Haiti, came to the Chi nese throne. Wang Mang at the death of Haiti had himself proclaim ed emperor. A conspiracy was formed by the groat men of the state to overthrow Wang Mang, but he crushed all their efforts until a young rebel chief by the name of Fanchong gathered a huge army and opposed Wang Mang. Fanchong, played by Franklin Hall, had his follows paint their eyebrows red to show that they would be faith ful to the last drop of their blood. They were known in Chinese his tory as the “Crimson Eyebrows.” Tickets for the “Crimson Eye brows” are being sold for 50 cents, which will entitle one to any seat in the house. Tickets can be ex changed for reserved seats at any time in Mrs. Beck’s office in the school of music. The seat sale is going very rapidly, according to James Leake, business manager of the opera, and those who wish tick ets imay procure them from Mrs. Beck or any member of the cast. PRESIDENT CAMPBELL RETURNS TO CAMPUS President P. T;. Campbell has re turned to Eugene after three months and a half in Coronado, California, where ho went late last December to avoid the winter weather. Dr. Campbell stood the long trip quite well, according to his phy sician, Dr. William Kuykendall. “President Campbell is in better condition than when he left Eu gene for Southern California last winter,” the doctor said. “However, the associated physicians have joined with me in advising him not to attempt to resume the work of his office this year.” The recent agreeable spring days in Oregon made it possible for the President to return. He was anx ious to come more closely'in touch) with his intimate friends and to learn more intimately of the life of the campus. He is now at his residence on the campus under the care of a physician and a nurse. Dr. Campbell has been unable to actively discharge the duties of the presidency for more than a year, although he has been in touch with institutional matters. In recent I months his physicians have insist-) ?d upon complete rest, and when I lie left for California his illness ''as alarming. His last public ap learance on the campus was a year igo when he spoke at a student as icmbly inaugurating the Student Ttion campaign. TOO WARM?

The winner of each match must report the score to Bhona Williams, it was announced. “Plans for class teams are under way,” reports Irene Buckley. “The material from which the class teams will be selected is of unusually splendid quality and predictions for women’s tennis aro of a highly optimistic order.” May Ifi is the date set for dough nut finals. Class practice will be gin May 11, and class finals will be an event of Field Day. Prac tice has been going forward stead ily, with Rhona Williams on the courts every afternoon from four to six to give assistance to any of the team members requesting it. She will continue to assist during the entire practice season. The consolation-elimination plan is to be tried out in tennis this season for the first time. This scheme of playing matches tends to interest a larger number of girls as more of them have an opportun ity of playing in meets and also, because girls have a definite idea of their ability. “If a girl comes out winner of the consolation-elimination meet, HAIRCUT?

The afternoon session was open ed by Winifred Graham, president of the conference, and reports on thelast national conference at Col umbus, Ohio; the midwestern con ference at Missouri university; and the western convention at Arizona university; were called for and ac cepted. * This session dealt with thfl place of W.

The average stu dent bodies, .if given the chance to ehoose between right and wrong, inevitably ' choose the right. Miss Mote went on to say, that the wo men of the campus can be the right arm of the student body, con nected by the A. W. S. Arizona Has Method A different method the Univer sity of Arizona has to adjust fresh men to campus conditions, is to compel entering students to take a one-year orientation course. In this course they are instructed how to study, how to take lecture notes, and anything else that will make their adjustment more easy. A long discussion followed this talk, many of the college delegates interested in finding out more about the system used at Arifona, and about ways used for gaining student co-operation. Miss Margaret Brookhart, repre sentative from Iowa State college, spoke on Judicial Powers, in rela tion to administration. “The Wo man ’s Guild co-operates with the Cardinal guild, the all-student gov erning body, in carrying on all college activities,” she said. “The executive board, numbering 28, is made up of one representative from each organized house and dormi GAY THOMPSON Marcel and Bob 75c Manicure, 50c 861 WILLAMETTE ST.
