OREGON DEFEATS
WHITMAN 7 TO 4
Webfooters Make First Run
In Second Inning; Visitors
Cross Plate in Fourth
NEXT GAME IS SATURDAY
Missionary Pitcher Allows
Several Walks; Maikes
Eight Strike-outs in*fcame
By Wilbur Wester
By making every hit count, Ore
gon defeated Coach Borleske’s nine
by a 7 to 4 scpre in a fairly evenly
contested tilt yesterday afternoon
on the new baseball diamond. Ore
gon’s four long triples, and Skip
per Brook’s good twirling exhibi
tion were the outstanding features
of the varsity play in their second
victory of the season.
The games started off with both
teams holding each other to a long
hit in the initial inning. In the
second frame, Miller, the Mission
aries pitching ace, was unable to
locate the home plate, walking
West, Brooks, and Beinhart in rap
id succession, thus filling the bases.
The Whitman twirler then hit Mim
naugh, forcing in the first score of
the game, holding the Oregon stick
men to this single tally in this in
ning, however.
Whitman Scores in Fourth
The opposition did not break in
to the scoring column until the
fourth canto, when they brought in
their first run with a single.
The Webfooters collected eight
hits during the afternoon, scoring
seven runs, while the Walla Walla
aggregation nicked' Skipper Brooks
for a total of ten solid blows, ac
counting for four runs. Miller, who
was on the mound for the northern
nine, had considerable difficulty in
getting started, but at the finish of
the encounter, he was alone’respon
sible for eight strike-outs. Brooks
fanned three of the opposing bat
ters.
Victory is Oregon’s Second
Frank Reinhart, who has been
shifted to the lead-off position,
made a good showing with two
hits out of four trips to the plate,
one of his hits going for a long
tripple that came very dose to be
* ing converted into a four-base blow.
Lynn Jones, besides playing a
good fielding game, connected with
a fast ball for a three-ply swat.
Bliss and Skipper Brooks, also
drove the ball for tripples. Fred
West, although getting but one
chance at short, hit the ball for a
solid two-base drive.
Yesterday’s victory is the second
time that the varsity has emerged
the victor on the new baseball dia
monds, having yet to be defeated
on the new territory.
On Saturday at 2 o’clock, the
Oregon nine will meet Willamette

Campus ‘Heaps’ to
Hold Speed Event
At Fair Grounds
Henry Ford started something
when he began making flivvers,
for if there had been no fliyers
there would be no campus
“wrecks,” and without them there
could be no campus “wreck”
races. So much for Henry Ford.
Next Saturday afternoon, JH11
owners of “heaps” are urged to
take part in a regular speedway
event at the Lane county fair
grounds. Attractive prizes are to
be given to winners of each race.
Already, half a dozen “relics”
have been signed up, and several
more have signified their inten
tions of so doing, according to
the committee, consisting of
Thomas Van Hines, Clare Heider,
Steve Williams, Bobert Crissman,
and Pete Palmer.
Each driver must furnish his
own mechanician who should be
armed with plenty of bailing wire
and a pair of tin snips.
Prospective racers should see
the committee at once in order
to gain entrance to those races
which the condition of their
respective “wrecks” will allow.
The races are scheduled to start
at 2 o’clock. An admission price
of 25 cents will be charged the
public.

CAMPUS MUSICIANS ENTERTAINED
BY FRANK JUE AT CHINESE OPERA
The clash of many large cymbals,
the beating of drums and tom toms,
and the ever sounding gong were
the accompaniment for the real
Chinese opera heard last Saturday
evening in Portland by Frank Jue
and his guests, Mr. and Mrs. Rex
Underwood, Anne Landsburv Beck,
and Alberta Potter. However, the
orchestra could not be called com
plete without mentioning the oboe
and Chinese fiddles, which resem
bled large potatoes with sticks
stuck through them. Soft music
is unknown to the Chinese and
their operas are very loud affairs.
This five piece orchestra, according
to Mr. Jue, would easily drown out
any 100 pieee symphony orchestra.
The opera, which tfras given in
Chinatown, started at 7 p. m. and
lasted until 1 a. m. The heroine of
the opera was exceptionally lovely
and, though her feet were normal,
they were bound for the occasion.
She did some very remarkable
dances among which was the sword
dance. The cast was composed of
twenty singers and like the Ameri
can opera it had a tenor, soprano,
and bass lead. The costumes, said
Mr. Jue, were gorgeous and no ex
pense was spared to make them un
usually beautiful.
The stage hand is by far the most
important man in the opera. Dur
ing the presentation of thq, opera,
he walks around the stage arrang
ing the chairs to represent moun
tains, and various other pieces of
furniture to look like rivers, hills
and houses. When the villan pur
sues the heroine on horseback, he
struts the stage waving a whip, and,
when crossing a mountain leaps
over the nearest chair. One of the
most unusual features of the opera
was the orchestra deciding to tune
up at the most exciting points.
However, the members of the opera
were always obliging enough to
I make an effort to out sound the
I orchestra.
NEW PRESIDENT
OF REEDTO TALK
Norman F. Coleman Famil
iar Throughout Oregon as
Educational Authority
VERSATILITY IS MARKED
Speaker Holds Long Record;
In Industrial Fields1
Elected Head of Four L|
Norman F. Coleman, < recently
elected president of Reed college,
and widely known throughout the
state as a speaker on both educa
tional and industrial problems, will
address today’s assembly on “The
Use of Group Discussion in Indus
trial Management.”
Mr. Coleman has a long record
of educational -work, but his energy
and versatility have carried him
into other activities as well.
Speaker Leads Students
It will be remembered that he
was the leader of a party of fifteen
students from the Pacific Coast in
the “Student Friendship Pilgrim
age” last ye$r to Japan, where a|
special study ef the student and in
dustrial situations was made. Near
ly all the colleges and universities
on the coast were represented, al-1
though there was no delegate from |
this campus.
Mr. Henry W. Davis, student pas
tor on the campus, spent six months
under the direction of Mr. Coleman, [
when the latter was head of the re- j
ligious work for Camp Lewis during !
the war.
“Mr. Coleman has a strong, but
unassuming, personality,” Mr. Dav
is said yesterday, “and he has a
wonderful ability for taking hold
of a situation and solving it. Per
haps no other man could have done
what he did in the Four L organi
zation. There is a very Lincoln-!
like quality about him—he is ut- j
terly sincere and sympathetic.” j
Coleman Heads Four L
Mr. Coleman’s connection with1
the Loyal Legion of Loggers and i
Lumbermen (Lour L), for which he :
is so well known throughout the
state, began during the war when
labor troubles threatened to tie up
the lumber industry at a time when
the government stood in urgent
need of the output. He took a hand j
in the matter in Oregon, and won j
the confidence of the workers in I
logging camps and lumber mills so j
thoroughly that he was elected i
president. Although the war time I
necessity for .the organization has !
passed it still exists with Mr. Cole- i
man still at the head.
Music for assembly will consist of
a solo by Mildred Welch, who will |
sing Brown’s “ God Touch the I
Rose.” I
MATHEMATICS SOCIETY j
PLANS MEETING HERE
The mathematics department is
preparing to send out personal in
vitations to all members of the
western section of the National
Mathematics society, to attend the
convention of this branch of the
society to be held here June 17.
This is the first time that ihe
society has ever met in the North
west, and the University should be
proud of the honor of being the
! first northwestern university to bo
host, declared Professor E. E. De
Cou of the mathematics depart
ment.
Since the weather at that time
of the year will be excellent, Pro
fessor DeCou anticipates that many
of the members from Washington
1 and California will motor to Eu
! gene. The society is composed of
I professors and instructors in math
! ematics in institutions of higher
I learning.
The mornings of the conference
will be devoted to the reading of
papers on mathematics and to dis
cussions. Motor trips are being
planned for the afternoons which
include a trip up the McKenzie
river as far as it is possible to
drive in the mountains in the di
rection- of the Three Sisters.
Campus Gardners
Play Horseshoes
During Noon Hour
“Atta boy! Pretty close.”
“Good one—a ringer.”
‘‘Thirteen for me! Only two
more minutes to finish this
game.”
Such conversation may be
heard almost any day during the
noon hour behind the University
depot, where a game of horse
shoes is usually in progress.
The campus gardners, electric
ian. engineer, plumber, and others
employed on the campus grounds
gather after lunch every day for
a hard fought contest, and play
energetically until the one
o ’clock whistle blows.
Last year the custom of play
ing horseshoes was started, and
it has been continued regularly
since that time. Regulation
horseshoes, owned jointly by the
players, are used. The men are
now planning to improve the
place where they play by putting
boards around the stakes, and
filling in the ground.
GOLFERS BEGIN SECOND
ROUND IN TBORNAMENT
Oregon to Be Represented

there are four matches in the sec
ond round the winners w411 con
stitute the University golf team.
This team will represent Oregon at
the Pacific' Coast intercollegiate
golf tournament, which will prob

scheduled are Byerly vs. Meredith,
Neighbor vs. Crowley and Fuchs
vs. the winner of the MV-Bride
Nelson match.
David Husted, who with Lloyd
Byerly, is one of the men in charge
of the tournament, urges that all
the matches of the first and sec

been played off, should be played
before next Monday so that the
team may be definitely lined up.
The tournament will later be car
ried out on an elimination basis to
determine the school champion. The
present good golfing weather should
be taken advantage of to finish
the tournament.

COUNCIL APPROVES
INCREASE IN FEES
- —— —-* ■
SIDEWALKS OPEN
TO CAMPUS FUGS
Action on Petitions From
Law and Architecture
Departments Deferred
MOTION NOW IN EFFECT
By accepting the revised report
of the Traditions committee, the
student council last night opened
to smoking all sidewalks parallel
to public streets running adjacent
to or through the University cam
pus. All sidewalks, therefore, on
Eleventh, Kincaid, Thirteenth and
University streets are open to
smoking. The strip of parking on
the north side of Thirteenth street
from Kincaid to University was al
so opened to smoking.
The motion, which takes effect
immediately, does not allow any
privileged districts. , It is under
stood, however, that smoking is
permitted in Friendly hall and in
the men’s room of the Woman’s
building.
Art Gonrt Not Open
Under the adopted motion, the
architecture court is not thrown
open to smoking.
The traditions committee sug
gested that the council accept peti
tions for restricted districts for
smoking when presented by organ
ized groups. Because of a student
council rule requiring all motions
for new business to be laid on the
table for two weeks, petitions fjom
istudents of the school of architec
ture and students of the law school
for restricted areas, were not acted
upon.
The law school students presented
a voluinnous and wordy petition
which finally revealed a desire to
smoke under and about the two
trees at the corner of the law build
ing. The petition was signed by 49
prominent law majors.
Vote of Thanks Given
A motion to extend a vote of
thanks to the traditions committee
for their work in investigating the
student traditions, was unani
mously adopted by the council.
A motion was passed to drop the
plan of establishing a freshman
court, as the plan was believed to
be impracticable.
Permission was granted Mortar
Board to conduct a doughnut sale
on the campus.
UNIVERSITY H.D.T.C.
TO HOLD DRILL TODAY
The second of the series of week
ly battalion parades, being held by
the University B. O. T. C. unit, will

tant’s call, for the start of the pa
rade, will be sounded at 5:25.
“The parade last Thursday was
satisfactory,” said Captain Frank
! L. Culin, executive officer of the
j department, “but this one will show
' a marked improvement. The band
i has been working hard this week,
perfecting the marching drill and
cadence, and cadet officers and
men, having had the experience of
one drill, will be better prepared to
go through a more efficient per
formance."
j- The military department extends
a cordial invitation to all, and es
pecially to the University women,
j who are interested in witnessing an
! impressive military ceremony, to at
: tend the drill this afternoon. Cars
i may be parked along the west side

MANAGERIAL SYSTEM
FAIIOfD BY COUNCIL
Unqualified approval of the pro
posed managerial system providing
for a complete revamping of the
present system of managers, was ex
pressed by the student council last
night. The plan which comes be
fore the executive council for ap
proval today, will come up for stu
dent body approval at the annual
student elections on May 13.
The new system provides for a
general student manager who will
direct junior managers of each
respective sport, glee clubs and for
ensics. This general manager, who
will be known as senior manager,
will be in complete charge of all
managerial activities, and will hold
a position in campus affairs com

will be the result of the new plan,
it is beieved. Promotion is based
on merit and service.
First year men are to perform the
actual labor under second year men
who will be termed assistant man
agers.
MONEY 10 AID

Program Definitely Insures
Student Union, Bleachers,
And Basketball Pavilian
PLAN WOULD SAVE $40
Unanimous approval of , the pro
posed plan to add $5.00 a term to
student body fees to pay for a Stu
dent Union, basketball pavilion,
football bleachers and other build
ings and structures needed by the
student body, was expressed at a
meeting of the student council
last night
The motion came as the result of
a suggestion by student body presi
dent Randall Jones, and gives stu
dent sanction to the proposed
amendment. Today the proposition
will come before the Executive
council. If that body sees fit to
give its sanction to the amendment,
it will then come up for final ap
proval before the board of regents
next Saturday morning. jJFinding
favor with the board of regents,
the amendment will come up for
student body vote at student elec
tions May 13. „
Seven Points Favor Plan
The arguments in favor of the
amendment were briefly as follows:
1. A payment of $5.00 a term,
or $60.00 for the entire four year
period is easier for the student
than a $100.00 payment stretched
over a period of ten years after
graduation. If the student pays
his pledgo starring immediately
after his freshman year, the
$10.00 yearly payment is almost
as large as the proposed $15.00
payment, and drags on for six
years after graduation. To pay
while in school is to save $40.00.
2. This $60.00 payment while in
school amounts to $98.00 in ten
years when the interest is com
pounded, and means as much to
the University as a $100 pledge.
3. Many pledges, for one rea
son or another, are never paid. It
is well known that a large shrink
age is always prevalent when
pledges in large numbers are ac
cepted. If the money were col*
* lected with the fees the Student
Union, the basketball pavilion,
the bleachers, etc. would be def
initely assured, and the |rhoflte
proposition put %on a business
like basis.
4. If such' an amendment
were adopted the burden upon
students would be equalized and
perpetuated, and would be fair
and just.
5. If an income of $15.00 a
year from each student was as
sured, money could be immedi
ately borrowed on the strength
of that income, and much-needed
improvements could progress at

| ‘HASSAN’, PLAY OF BAGDAD,
CONTAINS PICTURESQUE DRAMA
Probably one of the most color
fully romantic and picturesque
plays produced in the department
of drama within the past few years
will be presented to the campus in
the vehicle of the play “Hassan”
May 13, 14, 15 and 16.
| To those particularly interested
jin the drama, the name “Hassan”
j is a familiar one, wherein liijs any
j discussion of what is successful or
unsuccessful as concerns the legiti
; mate stage presentation to the pub
i lie. Written by an 'Englishman,
J and first presented on the London
J boards with as great a success as
| many of the finest productions,
“Hassan” was later sent to New
’ York, where it met with less en
thusiasm, because of that metro
polis’ inability to recognize what
was beautiful in the poetry and
rhythm of drama, with which
“Hassan” is so richly endowed. The
play itself is replete with enthral
ing color and magnetic sparkle of
motion. Through it runs the story
of the ri.se and fall of “Hassan,”
the confectioner of Bagdad, and
those incidents which confront him,
giving him his opportunity as a
man of wisdom, who, although of
mature years and of portly stature,
still holds within his body that
spark of “romance—kindled, will
lead him into uncertain paths. The
plot is woven well. The members
of the company will have an excel
lent chance to display their ability
as character actors, since every part
is that of an oriental.
Mr. Beddie will portray the
character of “Hassan.” His gift in
character acting is well known.
Herd a Brown plays opposite Mr.
Reddie in the role of “Yasmin,”
the woman, about whom the plot
of Hassan's life is woven.
The large cast of the play in
cludes members both of the Senior
company and of the other dramatic
classes. The parts have been dis
