Victory Banquet Scheduled
For Tonight If Final Day
Brings Total to $64,000
Yesterday noon every Union cam
paign worker sat down to lunch
eon at the Woman’s building, and
as the meal progressed, they re
solved that they would finish the
job on hand, and all gather again
tonight for the final big banquet.
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

BALL NINE WINS
BY IQ TO 3 IN
SEASON OPENEB
Team Starts Schedule With
Easy Win Over Pacific
On New Baseball Field
Reinhart’s Squad Captures
Game by Heavy Hitting;
Williams Hurls Winner
By Wilbur Wester
Playing the initial contest of the
year on the new diamond, adjoin
ing Hayward field yesterday after
nodh, the Oregon baseball team
broke into the win column by vir
tue of a 10 to 3 victory over the
Pacific University nine. .',As the
score indicated, the game was very
one-sided and fairly slow toward
the finish.
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.

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

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.
