FISH TO MEET
ROOKS III BEUYS
Oregon Yearlings to Race
0. A. C. Babes in Annual
Contest on Track Here
START IS AT 10:30
Five Baton Events to Be
Contested; Four-mile Cut
From Lack of Milers
/
The first track meet of the year
starts on Hayward field this morn
ing at 10:30 when the Oregon fresh
man baton-carriers pound the cin
ders against the Hook invaders in
the annual Frosh-Kook relay carni
val. Bill Hayward’s babe prote
ges with damaged lineup will face
some strong competition in every
event on the program, for the rooks
are entering a strong team of relay
men.
The strength of the freshman re
lay teams is doubtful and what
they do today will be an indication
of their showing in later meets.
Some hard races are on deck for to
day’s competition.
In the meet last year held at O.
A. C., the freshmen were lacking
in distance men and the same dif
ficulty confronts the teams this
season. Bill Hayward is entering
only one miler and that will be in
the medley. The four mile relay
will not be run, because of the
dearth of material in the longer
track event.
The entries for the freshmen are
as follows:
440-yard relay—Allen, Guttridge,
Kuykendall, and "Wetzel.
880-yard relay—Guttridge, Wins
low, Allen and another man to be
picked this morning.
Mile relay—Cooper, Pearson,
Hicks and Clarke.
Two-mile Telay—Boss, Hewlett,
Peterkin and Overstreet.
Medley relay—Kelly will run the
mile and the half mile, 440 and 220
entries will be made this morning.
The Book relay teams as an
nounced last evening.
440-vard relay—Eider, Gooley,
Bapp and Glines.
880-vard relay—Striff, Lasley,
Patrick .and Sisson.
Mile relay—Skaggs, Schwartz,
Joos and Peterson.
Two-mile relay—Misovetz, Logs
ton, Hovey and Johnson.

UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL
PLANS COMMENCEMENT
Approximately forty seniors will
graduate from the University high
school this June. The senior play,
which will be “Seventeen,” is well
under way and plans are being per
fected for commencement week.
The bacalaureate address will be
given by Rev. E. V. Stivers, pastor
of the Christian church at the
Methodist church on June 7. The
University music auditorium has
been chosen for the commencement
exercises.
Lowell Theatre
N ears Completion;
To Open Next Week
Workmen are now putting the
finishing touches to the new Low
ell theatre, at Tenth avenue and
Willamette street. It will be
formally opened the week of May
4, according to Donald McDon
ald, manager.
The theatre is named after
Lieutenant Lowell Smith, com
mander of the world fliers, who
is well known here. The furnish
ings and decorations are said to
be up to date, and the building
suited to accomodate any size
road show. The organ is designed
by Wurlitzer, and is about twice
the size of the one in use at the
Rex theatre.
NETIUIEN MEET AGGIES
AT CORVALLIS TODAY
Varsity and Frosh Expected
To Make Good Showing
Today the Oregon tennis teams,
varsity and freshmen, will journey
to Corvallis, where they will meet
the O. A. C. netmen in the first
meets of the year. Both the var
sity and the freshmen will have
five-man teams.
Captain Myers, Mead, Okerberg,
Adams and Hayden will represent
theh varsity in singles, and Myers
and Mead, Okerberg and Hayden
will play in the doubles.
The odds favor the varsity, for
the Aggie netmen have made a
very mediocre showing in their
matches so far this year. The Ore
gon tennis prospects are declared
'the best in years, and the men,
working out nightly under the di
rection of Coach Ernst, have been
steadily improving.
The frosh team will be composed
of Marvon Cone, Bill Powell, Har
old Hutchinson, Walter Cleaver,
and William Wood. Cone . and
Powell, and Cleaver and Wood will
play in the doubles competition.
Judging from the rook showing
against the Aggie varsity the first
year men are not above average
players, and the frosh are expected
to come out ahead with little
trouble.

DEVELOPMENTS IN INDUSTRY
TRACED BY ASSEMBLY SPEAKER
That discussion, a fundamtental
principle of democracy, is being suc
cessfully applied to industrial prob
lems was the keynote of the address
on “The Use of Group Discussions
in Industrial Management” given
at assembly, Thursday, by Presi
dent Norman F. Coleman of Eeed
college.
The inspiration for Mr. Cole
man ’s speech lay in his long as
sociation with the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen, and in an
intimate knowledge of the work
ing conditions in the lumber in
dustry.
“The over-looked man, whether in
industry or polities, is an unsafe
man,” Mr. Coleman said, “because
he resents being overlooked. His
intelligence, and good will for the
job, he holds, depends upon having
the opportunity to express his
views of that job.”
Even the leaders in industry are
dissatisfied with the old autocratic
svstem, in which the relation be
tween employer and employee was
practically that of master and
■slave, according to Mr. Coleman.
The old slogan of “You are not paid
to think, vou are paid to do as you
are told” is losing ground, he said,
because it has not proved satisfac
tory in settling disputes between
leaders and workers, and because it
has bred disrespect for individual
ity, with a consequent increasing
resentment on the part of the work
er.
Mr. Coleman’s wide experience
among working men and Univer
sity students served as a back
ground for the sympathetic criti
'cism that he made of the old svs
tern.
He pointed out how the auto
cratic tendency in education, with
the instructor standing before his
class marshalling his facts and ex
greeting them to be returned to him
in the same form, is not c.ondusivc
to the training of intelligent men
and women capable of thinking foi
themselves. He favors the grouj

UNIVERSITY MEN
HELP IN RESCUE
Couples Stranded in River
When Motorboat Goes
Over Willamette Rapids
CROWD PROFFERS NO AID
Spectators Gather on Bank
While Marooned Group
Wait 2 Hours for Relief
Four University students fig
ured in the rescue last night of two
men and, two women from a rock
in the rapids of the Willamette
river, near the mill race, where they
had been stranded for two hours,
after their boat went over the rap
ids and sank. A crowd of specta
tors stood on the bank of the
stream, but until the students ar
rived, no one volunteered any as
; sistance.
The persons who made the rescue
were Don Woodward, editor of the
Emerald, Lillian Baker, Lowell
■Sims, and Clinton Davisson.
Woodward was in a canoe on the
river about 6 o*clock, on the way
to the portage, when he was at
tracted, as he neared the landing
place, by a crowd of people on the
bank. Further observation showed
a man standing on a rock in the
river, in the middle of the rapids
near the dam.
Party Signals for Help
At first it appeared that the man
was fishing, but he motioned for
assistance. Woodward steered his
way through the tail of the rapids
and reached the rock where he
found Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bridge
man, Mr. and Mrs. B. Paasche and
a dog.
Two deputy sheriffs, summoned a
> short time before, had just arrived
i and were attempting to throw a
! boom out to the rock. Sims, driv
! ing by in an automobile, stopped
; and joined the rescue party. He got
a canoe, and accompanied by Dav
isson, went out to the aid of the
stranded group.
The party was brought to shore
in the two canoes. Beyond being
cold no harm resulted from the two
hour wait for assistance.
The rescued explained that they
I had just completed work on a
motorboat above the dam, and were
! taking it into the stream, when the
rudder caught on a snag and swung
the boat into the current. The en
gine stopped and the boat was
swung into the rapids. At this mo
ment the engine started again and
the boat headed straight over the
falls in the river.
Bock Saves Lives
Just before going over, the ves
sel hit the rock, and stopped mo
mentarily. Seizing the opportunity,
the men pushed the women out of
the boat, onto the rocks, and they
themselves followed. In pulling
| the dog out of the boat, they broke
I the animal’s leg. The boat hesi
tated for a moment and then went
over the rapids and sunk.
Since neither woman was able to
swim, serious results would prob
ably have followed the trip over the
rapids. The long wait on the rock
proved rather nerve-racking, espe
cially to the women. The peculiar
i incident in the affair, was the at
: titude of the large crowd which
stood by and watched the marooned
! quartet, without offering any as
sistance whatever. Except for get
ting their feet wet, the rescuers
had little trouble in getting the
four persons off the rock.
REGENTS TO PASS ON $5
FEE AT MEETING TODAY
The proposition of adding five
dollars to term fees, as a payment
of each student toward the student
■ “union fund, will be brought before
the board of regents, at its meeting
here this morning. If the board
passes favorably on the measure,
I the students may then consider it.
; However, if the measure is declared
j unsatisfactory, it cannot be put in
to effect by the students. Recom
mendations of several University
departments for appointments of
instructors, will also be heard.
Student Managers
Of Year Book and
Daily to Be Chosen
Applications for the positions
of business managers for the
Emerald and Oregana will be con
sidered by the publications com
mittee at a meeting to be held
Wednesday. These applications
will be accepted at Jack Bene
fiel’s office until Wednesday
noon.
The business manager of the
Emerald sees that the paper gets
enough advertising to pay for it
and keeps his staff working. He
approves bills and collects debts
due the Emerald. He is paid
$600 a year.
The business manager of the
Oregana has the same duties as
the business manager of the
Emerald with respect to his own
publication. The salary for this
position is $100.
All accounts for both publica
tions go through Jack Benefiel’s
office. The amounts of the salar
ies are named with the provision
that the publications make the
necessary profit.
RADIO SPEAKER GIVES
BROADCASTER’S VIEW
Sensation Like Telephoning
Says H. E. Rosson
Badio speaking is analogous to
the telephone conversation with a
vast number of subscribers con
nected to one central phone, ac
cording to Professor Hugh E. Ros
son, of the English department, in
his speech on the “Speaker’s Side
of the Microphone” broadcast yes
terday evening from radio KGW of
the Morning Oregonian. “With the
possibilities existing in radio broad
casting there is a strong reason for
the suggestion that attention should
be focused on radio speaking as a
field for distinct and exhaustive
scientific research,” he said.
The radio speech is a carefully
prepared address in manuscript
form. “As the door of the studio
closes behind him the speaker is
'suddenly aware that here is a
strange room,” Professor Bosson
told his listeners. “A death-like
stillness prevades the place, filling
the novice with a strange, inde
scribable feeling of depression and
foreboding. The announcer speaks
to him and the voice reaches him
with a strange sound.
“At last the announcer turns a
switch and steps before the mic
rophone, which now seems to re
semble photographs of an infernal
machine. The victim hears his
name mentioned.” And with trem
bling knees and a wildly beating
heart, he finds himself before the
microphone which suddenly be
comes merged in a blurred vision
of farm homes, apartments, receiv
ing sets, human forms.
Unlike platform speaking nerv
ousness and physical strain .disap
pear quickly. Usually the speaker
finds himself adjusted to the sit
uation by forcing himself to give
strict attention to his manuscript
and the utterance of his words in
a clear cut, conversational, tone and
manner. In the studio he can not
recognize the ringing tone of his
Voice nor feel the reactions of his
hearers to his particular remarks.
In fact there is almost a humorous
touch to the situation for it seems
almost impossible that an audience
can in any way be connected with
this procedure of directing words in
a conversational tone of voice to
this small disk placed before him.
OREOON-WILLAMETTE
BALL GAME CALLED OFF
The Oregon Willamette base
ball game, scheduled today for
2 o’clock on Hayward field, has
been called off, announced J.
W. Benefiel, graduate man
ager, last night. A misunder
standing in scheduling caused
indefinite postponement of both
Willamette games. The second
was to have been played at Sa
lem. May 12.
Fans desiring to see the var
sity work out, however, will be
satisfied, since the frosh nine
will be met in a regulation game
at the time scheduled for the
varsity contest.

RELIT TRT-OITS
Many Surprises are Sprung;
Tetz Wins Mile in 4:32;
220 Is Taken by Kelsey
GERKE LEADS IN HALF
Five Men Finish 400 Race
Bunched With Jim Kinney
Leading; Price is Second
By Web Jones
Close, hard fought races with
speed and surprises in quantity
were shown yesterday afternoon
when Hayward’s track men com
peted in five events for the right
to make the trip to the sixth an
nual Seattle relay carnival on May
).
Bill has definitely decided to
take the 220-yard relay team after
the good showing of the men yes
terday. The times were good for
3very race. Bill Hayward was
Highly pleased with the work done
ay all the men. The four highest
men in each event with the excep
;ion of the mile will make the trip.
Tetz Shows Speed
One of the surprises of the af
;ernoon’s tryouts was the fast mile
:un by Henry Tetz. The time of
1:32 is the best done on Hayward
Held this year and shows wonder
ful improvement over his 4:41
when timed last. Tetz knows his
race now and he can let himself
out for several seconds better than
he did today. Bill Hayward is tak
ing only one miler up to Seattle for
the medley relay. The showing of
Tetz yesterday bolsters the strength
of that event. He was followed by
Holder with a five yard margin.
Keating and Neidermeier finished
third and fourth.
Tearing it up on the new straight
away against a wind, the 220 men
finished in the fairly good time of
22:4. Kelsey, regular varsity hurd
ler, finished a strong first with a
four yard margin over the rest of
the field. The other men were
bunched after the hard pull up the
new track which is still a trifle
soft. Flannigan, Extra, Cleaver
and Carruthers finished in the or
der named. Three of Bill’s hurdlers
placed in the first five.
440 Is Close Race
The finish of the quarter mile
found the five first place men
hunched so closely that a blanket
would have covered them all. Kin
ney won in the time of 51:1 but
he can undoubtedly do better than
that. The fight began on the
straight away with Hermance lead
ing. Kinney took the lead at the
first pole and held it to the tape
although pressed closely by the
rest of the crew. Price came up
with a strong sprint at the end and
finished second. The five, Kinney,
Price, Cash, Wilbur and Hermance,
finished in that order.
Out of a field of 12 half milers,
Gerke showed some of his old final
'sprint form and won the half mile
in the time of 2:01—also the best
half mile time this year on Hay
ward field. Mauney, after some
difficulty in passing, out sprinted
four men in the last 220 and with
a strong burst of speed, placed sec
ond, a couple of yards behind
Gerlce. Stephenson, was the dark
horse of the day by placing third
at the final spurt with most of the
pack bunched around him. Houston
and Sussman placed fourth and
fifth respectively. The race was
full of upsets throughout. Jeffries
got the pole and led the bunch
for the first 300 with an easy stride.
Swank got the lead and held it for
another 300 yards by drawing away
from the pack some distance. Gerke
closed up and a fine sprint at the
end put him ahead.
From the results of the tryouts
the Lemon Yellow will have some
capable representatives in the car
nival. The baton carriers begin
their hard work next week for the
coming meet. Bill will^ announce
the team to go north later in the
*week.
