Defeated This Afternoon
By Dick Syring
In what promises to be the hard
iest meet of the year, the Univer
sity of Oregon tennis team, Oregon
state intercollegiate champions,
meet the University of Washing
ton’s Huskies at Seattle this after
noon. The Oregon netmen left for
Seattle Tuesday afternoon after
tucking away another victory over
the Oregon Aggies last Saturday
morning. The varsity spent yes
terday working out on the north
ern courts in preparation for to
days big 'meet.
The Webfooters team consists of
Harry Meyer, captain; George Hay
den, Roy Okerberg, William Adams
and George Mead. This is the same
aggregation that has gone through
the season undefeated, save for the
trimming administered by the Mult
nomah clubmen, 10 to 6. The
Huskies racquet wielders, one of
the strongest teams on the coast,!
have a number of widlv known
- i
players. The men facing the Web
footers will be Bob Hesketh, cap
tain, Mel Dranga, Dick Dubois,
Joe Livengood and Sam Skidmore.
Meet Second of Two
The meet with the Huskies is the
second of the two scheduled, the
first having had to be cancelled be
cause of the weather. The Univer
sity of Washington netmen were
on a tour of the Willamette valley
on the weekend of May 15 and 16,
but when they came to Eugene the
meet had to be postponed. On this
trip through the valley, the Huskies
won a love meet from the Willam
ette Bearcats and the Oregon Ag
gies.
Tomorrow afternoon and Satur
day, a three man team will be en
tered in the Pacific Coast confer
ence meet also being held in Se
attle. In this meet will be repre
sentatives from all the schools on
the coast. The Oregon team al
though they may be defeated by the
Huskies today, have a good chance
of w'nning the championship,
Varsity State Champions
By defeating the Aggie courtmen
last Saturday morning, the varsity
won the undisputed state intercol
legiate championship. Two Oregon
college tennis teams have -been met
and defeated. The Aggies were
humbled in the two meets, 4 to 3
and 5 to 2. The Reed .jpllege play
ers also proved to be easy prey for
the varsity, 4 to 2.
Moot Jury Decides
Gooding is Victim
In Signature Fraud
The jury decided that an ex
ceedingly dirty trick has been
played, so it decided for the de
fendant, Bert Gooding, in the
case of Chrisman vs. Gooding,
which was tried in moot court
last Tuesday night. t •
The suit was for the collection
of a promissory note, alleged to
have been given by Gooding to
Bobert Chrisman in payment for
an automobile, but, as proved by
the defense, Gooding’s signature
to the note was obtained under
the pretense of getting his name
on an initiative petition for light
wines, beer, and free lunches.
The jury, composed of Marion
Dickey, Jean DuPaul, and Ar
mand Fuchs, did not deliberate;
the decision was spontaneous and
unanimous. The sheriff, who had
also signed the petition, was the
star witness for the defense.
Judge E. Cb_ Potter, of Potter,
Foster and Immel, presided.
James Boss was attorney for the
defense, and Harley W. Covalt
handled the case for the plain
tiff.

SPECTACULAR SUCCESS SCORED
l BY COLORFUL DANCE DRAMA
It would be difficult to attribute
-the success of the Dance Drama
•last night to any one thing. Light
ing. costumes, dancing made it one
-of the most spectacular successes
of the college year.
“A Night’s Mardi Gras” was a
triumph of color and action. La
Verne Spitzenburger, as light heart
,ed Pierette, scored one of the hits
of the evening. Grace Sullivan
- makes an ardent lover and the
merchant was extremely well char
acterized.
“The Lake of the Swans” has to
be described as exquisite. The light
ing was an achievement in itself.
For sheer beauty and idylic effect
this production has never been sur
passed on the campus.
The fountain deserves special
mention. The sparkling and flash
ing of the water in the moonlight
was a vivid illusion.
Ah, Yah! an original dance skit
by LaVerne Spitzenberger and Neva
Service won a round of applause.
The clumsy Dutchman, his wife and
their wheelbarrel brought down the
house.
Krazy Cat presented his own ver
sion of Pandora’s box. A study in
tails.
Sweet Sixteen was a graceful
miss. The dancing master fascin
ated the audience with his coat
tails.
The Golliwoggs who walked in
the very slimy deep were very
clever dancers. And their costumes
came from the bottom part of the
bottom of the. sea.
Indian Dote had the finish of a
professional production. Janet
Wood, as the chieftain’s daughter
about to be sacrificed to the gods,
achieved the height of abandon
and life in a farewell dance to
earth before her dramatic death.

Debaters to Vend
Ice Cream Bars
On Campus Today
Ice-cream bars, with an extra
thick coating of chocolate, will
be sold on the campus today.
These frozen rectangles vie with
fans in ability to dispell the ef
fects of Old Sol, declare the girls
of Zeta Kappa Psi, honorary
forensic society, who are selling
these on the campus.
Ten cents will be the tax upon
these delicacies. The sale begins
at ten o ’clock, with a special
effort made at assembly hour.
Special receptacles will be
placed on the -campus at the or
der of Mr. Fisher, and all stu
dents are requested to throw the
wrappers from these bars in the
cans.
The sale also provides a means
whereby visiting debate teams
may be entertained.
EIGHT WILL COMPETE
IN SPEAKING CONTEST
Mrs. W. F. Jewett. Donates
Prizes to Be Given
A speaking contest will be to
night at 7:30, between representa
tives from each section of the ex
tempore speaking classes of Oscar
A. Brown and Paul Patterson, in
room 105 Of the Oregon building.
Bight students will compete for
the first prize of fifteen dollars
and the second prize of ten dol
lars. '
Mrs. W. P. Jewett, of Eugene, is
the donor of the prizes, and to
night’s contest is an annual event.
Last year, Sol Abramson won first
prize. He subsequently made the
varsity debate team.
The general subject will be “Dis
armament. ’’The specific phase of
it will be determined at drawings
to be held at six o’clock; thus stu
dents will be given only one and
one-half hours in which to prepare
their ten minute talks.
Judges will be: E. W. Merrill and
H. E. Rosson, of the public speak
ing department; and Carlton Spen
cer, registrar of the University.
This contest is limited to merqbors
of the extempore speaking classes,
varsity debaters and orators are ex
cluded. The students are therefore
on a par, and it promises to be one
of the best local contests of the
year, according to Mr. Brown. Rep
resentatives were chosen partly by
opinion of the instructor and partly
by vote of the members in the re
spective classes.
Similar prizes have also been do
nated by Mrs. Jewett for the best
forensic argument in the class in
argumentation and for the delivery
of the best legal subject by students
in classes of pre-legal English.
ELIMINATION OF
CONGESTION AIM
New Schedule Will Allow
Students to Have One
Other Day in Week Free
MEASURE IS OPPOSED
System Will Not Affect
Large Number; Morning
Classes to Be Reduced
Saturday classes have received
official sanction. As a result of
faculty action yesterday, classes
will be scheduled in all depart
ments for six days a week, begin
ning next fall.
The move' toward Saturday
classes began some time ago, and
was first brought before the fac
ulty during the early part of the
spring tenm. The matter was re
ferred to a committee for full in
vestigation and was to have been
voted upon at a meeting held a
month ago. No vote was rendered
at that time, however, the matter
being returned to the -committee
for further discussion.
The project was brought up
again yesterday, and despite much
opposition on the part of the stu
dents, it was sanctioned.
Classrooms Conjested
The one motive in providing for
classes on Saturdays is the relief
of congestion, according to mem
bers of the faculty. They point
out that classroom congestion would
further aggravate the situation.
The new system is not designed
so that most of the students will
have classes on Satdrday. Com
paratively a small number of stu
dents will so be affected, accord- |
ing to faculty statements. Courses
will be arranged so that the stu
dent-will have some option on tak
ing them with or without a Satur
day class. For instance, some three
hour courses will be scheduled for
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
while others will be held on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. An
attempt will be made to enable
those who have classes on Satur
day to have some other day in the
week free.
Waste to Be Avoided
TTuder the present system most
of the three hour classes tie up the
use of the classrooms for a whole
week, except where an occasional
two hour class is inserted. The new
system aims at eliminating this
waste, and bringing about an in
crease in usable time.
The new system will also attempt
to introduce more afternoon classes,
balancing the schedule by reducing
morning classes. Tn the past great

FRANCES PIERCE SHOWS RARE
TECHNIQUE AT ORGAN RECITAL
I
By P. A. L.
Miss Frances Pierce proved her
self to be an organist worthy of
mention in Tuesday night’s pro
gram, offered in the school of mu
sic auditorium.
Opening her program with the
difficult and taxing Guillmont
Sonata, she at once revealed a
technique that enabled her to dis
pose easily of all difficulties, and
to impart a finish to her clear,
fluent playing that gave an un
common distinction to her work.
The “Allegro” she played in a ma
jestic and commanding manner; of
the Sonatas, four movements. No
doubt her best work was done in
the Adagio.
Miss Pierce’s second number, the
i “Andante fantabile,” from Tschai
ikowsky’s 5th Symphony, was the
I most familiar number on the nro
; gram to her audience. This she
| played with musical acumen.
In the modern schhol of music,
| which was represented by the
“Tanglewood Tales” of Stoughton,
she produced some very telling col
or effects and proved herself thor
oughly “at home” in this particu
lar type of composition.
Although lier program contained
only six numbers, Miss Pierce may
be said to have run the gamut of
representative styles of composi
tions. Her skill in registration, ap
preciation of musical values, and
ability to create beautiful effects
by legitimately artistic, means were
so happily disclosed as to excite
admiration, compelled only by thor
ough training and a fine intelli
gence.
Frank Jue contributed a group of
songs, and sang with his usual
finish. He responded wifti an en
core. “At Parting,” of Rodgers.
Incidentally this is possibly Mr.
Jue’s last appearance, as lie will
not be on the campus next year.
To Bernice Yeo must be given
mention for her accurate and sat
isfactory accompaniments. ,
