The workers realized then, and they realize now, that to achieve the final goal of $64,000, they will have to work and work hard. Re ports given at the luncheon showed that but $42,000 had been raised, leaving a total of $22,000 to go. In a spirited talk, which fairly sizzed with Oregon Spirit, Haddon Rockhey, chairman of the" drive last year, told of the final effort that hadjbeen put forth during the final day of the first campaign, when $80,000 had been raised. “Its the old Oregon spirit that does it!” he declared. “Get that, and get it under your skin. This thing’s got to go across and go across big! ”: Mautz Outlines Work Bob Mautz, chairman of the i drive, outlined the work .thus far, called upon all team members and workers to fling class allegiance to ! the winds, and to unite in a last ! great effort to reach the goal set. He told of instances of sacrifices made by students so that they might add their quota to the drive. “This pledge is not charity,” he said. “It is a worthwhile invest ment to any man that values his education.” Mautz also announced that the Heilig theatre had invited the stu ^ dents to a theatre party for next * Wednesday night at 9:15. Admit tance will be by the “committee” badge, and students are asked to wait until 9:15 so that the theatrj may be cleared from the first show.

The contest clearly brought out the excellent team-play of the var sity. Although, getting but eleven hits, nearly every bingle was ac counted for, ten runs crossing the home plate. Bay Williams on the mound for Oregon, allowed but eight scattered hits, and through out the tilt, held the opposiion well in hand. Hobson Hits Triple Howard Hobson started the scor ing in the first frame when he drove in a run with a long drive that went for a triple. The team was unable to strike its real stride until along in the fourth inning, when two runs were registered. Pacific was unable to score until the fourth canto when one man er >ssed home. The Oregon infield played in regular mid-season form. Only two errors were chalked up against the home team, one of these errors be ing the result of a ball lost in the sun. Besides fielding in a credit able manner, several of the Ore gon players proved to be very capable in wielding a dangerous stick. Hobson, crack second base man, received four solid blows out of four trips to the plate. Two of his hits went for triples, one for a double and the fourth hit for a single, and one sacrifice. Frank Reinhart cracked out • one well earned double and .several sacri fice hits while at the plate. Cook and Adolph were both credited with two hits apiece. Cameron started in the box for the Pacific nine, but after several innings, the varsity soon had the best of this port-sider, driving him to cover under a deluge of base hits. Rannow relieved CarngTon in the box but did little better in handling the Oregon stick-wielders. Four are Former Frosh Out of the nine men wearing the Lemon-Yellow on the field against Pacific, four of the players are re cruits from last year’s freshman team. Fred West, playing his first year of varsity, held down the short patch handling six chances in a capable manner. Frank Reinhart, a first year man, caught four high flies, several of them being long drives that ordinarily would have gone for safe hits. Lynn Jones al so a first year man crossed the home plate with two runs. Rex Adolph, a new man on the varsity nine, accounted for *wo hits and handled twelve chances. From all indications. Coach Reinhart should have one of the cleverest and most dangerous nines in the coast conference. Al though, the Pacific nine does not hold a very high rating, they were strong enough to bring out the fact that the Oregon team has plenty of potential strength and a real drive. One of he amusing incidents of (Continued on •page four) Captains wHo are Directing Last Day of Drive MEET MAY 1,2,3 The Annual State Y. W. C. A. cabinet council meets on the Uni versity campus next week-end, May 1, 2, and 3, for the purpose of bring ing together and discussing com mon problems and providing con tacts between members of the sfote college and university organi zations.

ERNEST SEUTE, PROPRIETOR OF TOWNE SHOPPE, GIVES $500 Ernest Seute, proprietor of th< Towne Shoppe, tonight announcer that he has pledged $500 to the Stu dent Union. This is the larges single contribution of the entiri campaign, and is indicative of thi spirit with which the drive is being received off the campus. “If the students are willing ti sacrifice for this project, it mus mean a great deal to them,” de dares Mr. Seute. “So we are glat indeed to do our share. My wife and I have hundreds of friendi among the students of the Univer sity, and our main interest lies witl them. A Student Union, a gather ing place for the men and womei of this great University, will be £ wonderful thing, and we look for ward to seeing it with the same eager anticipation that the stu dents do.” Mr. Seute has been a loyal en ! thusiast for Oregon since he came ! to this city. He has taken a great I deal of interest in every student ac tivity, and has backed the athletic >' teams against all contenders. The Towne Shoppe is a favorite rendevous of hundreds of students, who go there to partake of his sav ory viands, and to listen to the mu sical features there provided. “Mr. Seute has caught the true Oregon Spirit,” declared Bob Mautz, chairman of the drive. “Ho is a true Oregon man, and we are glad to claim him as one of us.” TO BE GIVEN MAY V The Dance Drama will be pre sented Wednesday evening, May 27, in the Woman’s building. Recent remodeling of the stage and its ad ditional equipment, has made it pos sible for the first time, to give this annual feature on the campus in stead of at the Heilig theatre down town. One of the most beautiful inter pi etations being planned for the evening is “The Lake of the Swans” with music taken from Tsehaikowski’s suite of the same name. Staging, lighting and music combine to create a startling illu sion of realness in the setting for tit’s number. There is an ancient half-ruined temple standing at the edge of a tranquil lake in a gar den of Old Greece. ,'A fountain leaps and splashes on the other side of the tall columns of the temple. Three swans float in the lake, lotus wise. Then the dancers appear up on the low broad steps of the tem ple. A Night’s Mardi Gras presents a street scene of the far East. Here is the life, color and movement of the Bazaar with its rich rugs, beau tiful silks and fragile porcelain. Two masqueraders are the central characters in the drama. Neither know who the other is or why he is there. The climax is reached when the girl unmasks. This number is an attempt to picture night, the playtime of the world, and the various moods of its two types of revelers who seek either recreation for the soul or for the senses. Solo, duet and group dances will compose another part of the pro gram for the evening. These will be original compositions presented by members of Orchesus, an ad vanced dancing group. FROSH TRACK TRYOUTS TO BE RUN OFF TODAY Tryouts for the freshman track | squad, to select the relay teams to I compete against the O. A. C. Books, will be held this afternoon at 2:30 'o’clock. This is the second oppor tunity which Coach Bill Hayward will have to check up on the fresh men and to judge their strength. The tryouts for the interclass meet j held last week narrowed the aspi | rants down to the most promising j men. The annual Frosh-Book relay i meet will be held on Hayward field ; this year. Last year the frosh re lay tean^ competed at Corvallis where the meet was lost by the score of 3 to 2—winning both sprint relays but losing in the distance races. That condition is greatly ; improved this year by the frosh relay men out because the distance men are as promising as the sprint 1 ers. Bill Hayward has a quartet of fast steppers in the short races j and if he can find men to back up ! the star distance men the aggrega tion should look decidedly good. The events to be competed in this afternoon are: 440, relay, each man running 110 yards; 880 relay, each man running 220 yards; mile relay, i each man running a quarter; two mile relay, each man running a half mile; and medley relay, men run ning 220, 440, 880 and mile respec I tively. The meet is scheduled for May: 2—the same week-end on which the [ Seattle relays were scheduled but j due to the setting ahead of that j date Bill Hayward will have time j to work the freshmen harder and , condition the varsity men for the i | carnival. Some fast times are expected this j j afternoon because the freshmen j track men have been steadily pro gressing with their conditioning; with no meets or trips to break into ! their work. * FRESHMAN NINE TO PLAYVARSITY With old Sol doing its share, to gether with daily practice gamos with the varsity, the freshman dia mond aspirants are slowly but surely rounding into condition. Every afternoon this week that the weath er has been permissible, practice gamos with the varsity have been played bringing out the strong and weak points of the freshman aggre gation. In all of these contests the varsity battery has performed for both teams, thus giving the battery men double practice. Several games have been played with the University high school nine; a squad of men being sent to their diamond for gaimies. In these games a number of frosh boxmen were given chances to show their stuff. This afternoon the freshmen and varsity will mix in a double header starting about 2 o’clock. In these two games Coach Sorsby intends to work all his pitchers and catchers for several innings as they have had few real workouts. “Skip” Brooks will undoubtedly face the frosh in one of the games as he didn’t get to break into the Pacific game. According to Coach Bill Sorsby what the freshmen need most at the present time is a lot of batting prac tice as the entire squad seems to be Very weak with the willow. In order to get the desired batting prac tice several squads of men will re port this morning for batting, in field and outfield practice. The men who have been showing up good and playing a consistent game against the varsity are: Wal lace and Zoebuyth, first base Babb and Kuhn, second base; Han ley, shortstop; MacAllister, third base; Kdwards, Newby, Baker and Mayfield in the outfieldl TIME LIMIT EXTENDED IN WOMENS’ TENNIS The first round of women’s ten nis, due to the continued bad weather and later, to the opening of the Student Union drive, remains unfinished at the end of still an other week. At a pep meeting yes terday noon, it was decided to ex tend the time to April 27. Mon day at five o’clock will end tho time set for the first round. The courts yesterday afternoon were crowded Jo capacity. Five or six teams signified their intention of playing off their matches during the afternoon. A complete list of the winners of the first round will be posted on the bulletin board Monday night. Names of the win ners of consolation matches will be posted at this time, also. S47.00D LISTED, ) FINAL CLEAN-UP IS DDE TODAY Results of First Two Day's Drive Disappointing Says Mautz; Payments Slow Car Owners are Requested To Donate Machines for Use in Last Day’s Drive At a late hour last night a total of $47,000 had been subscribed in the Student Union campaign for $64,000. The showing, according to Bob Mautz, chairman, is rather dis appointing, in-as-much-as a goal of $50,000 had been set for last night. A final clean-up campaign is scheduled for today. Every work er on the committee is expected to report to the Union headquarters, promptly at 9:00 a. m., where he will receive instructions for the day’s work. “All the easy prospects have been signed up,” said Mautz last night, “and now it remains for us to get difficult ones tomorrow. I think that we will be able to reach the quota all right if every one turns out today. If they don’t—it’s go ing to be bad.” The work today will close with a big banquet at 6:00 p. m. at the Woman’s building, when the cam paign will be celebrated or la mented as the case may be.' Beports at the banquet yester day indicated that collections from upperclassmen for installments due from last year’s pledges are com ing in very slowly. The noon reports showed the sophomore teams were making fair progress with around $3,000 col lected.' The seniors were next in line, but far below the sophomores; while the juniors were still farther down the lino. Junior Quota Reached Pledges among the upperclassmen came in at a better rate. The jun iors had reached their quota of pledges at an early hour last night. Little or no intention of perma nently avoiding payment of pledges has been expressed, the universal attitude being one of procrastina tion.. ‘‘Since the construction of the Student Union is to proceed as soon as sufficient funds are on hand to build the first unit, it is desirable that students pay their install ments up to date,” said Randall Jones, president of the student body, today. “If everyone takes | the attitude of indifference, the | result will be that the campaign j will drag on for years and still we : will have no Student Union. Un less absolutely impossible, every man and woman should square his account at this time.” “Red” Wright, leader of the i freshman men, last night made an ] appeal to the members of the elass J of 1928. “There is $17,000 yet to be col leetedf even if "We only come out even. That means that every fresh I man worker will have to be on J hand promptly at nine o’clock ready ! to put in a good long day’s work.” A special request has been sent ! out by the central committee for j all car owners to contribute the uses of their machines today if pos sible. At a meeting of the executive committee yesterday, it was decid ed to abandon generally ■ the idea of definite teams in the final clean j up today, the plan being to throw i the entire forces into a single large i committee. In this manner numer ous flying squadrons will be or ; ganized and thrown where needed most.
