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.

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.

“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.

of the morning.
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. S. G. A. on the campus, and
Anna Deam Mote, delegate from
University of Arizona, gave a talk
on, Work in relation to associated
student organization, telling of the
way in the University of Arizona
had overcome some of their prob
lems
Self demand, and self control,
are necessary factors of govern
ment, she stated. 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
