First Year Mermen to Get
Initial Test Under Fire
At Portland, Saturday
Coach Don Parks has Picked
Strong Team From List
Of Inexperienced Men
The freshman swimming team
will receive its first dose of compe
tition next Saturday evening in
Portland where they will meet a
team from the Y. M. C. A. Don
Parks, freshman swimming coach,
who will take the team to Portland
for the initial aquatic event, was
not optimistic about the outlook for
the frosh team. With another
week’s training he hopes to put
them iln .some creditable shape. The
Frosh-Rook meets which come later
in the season will see a different
team if any improvement is shown
in the next two weeks.
« Freshman swimming practice has
been going on for two months and
out of the group of comfparatively
green material Park has selected a
team that has possibilities. The
showing against the varsity team
two weeks ago was indicative of
potelntial strength.
Arthur Larson and Ed Finley aro
developing form and speed. Larsen
will enter both the fifty and hun
dred yard dashes. Finley is val
uable as a backstroke artist as well
as for swimming a fast crawl.
Willis Fletcher in the breast
stroke shows a wealth of power
which will be brought out to its
fullest extent in the coming »eet.
He is a strong as woll as a fairly
fast swimmer.
Howard Dixon will be entered in
the fifty yard jlash as well as the
150 yard back stroke. In the 220
yard free stylo, the distance raco of
the list of events, Alden Wood
tvprth and Kobert Kerr have been
going good.
’The relay team which will prob
ably be entered will be picked from
five men, Larsen, Finley, Dixon,
Gus Gruelich, Robert Kerr and
Howard Dixon. The four fastest
will race on the relay team.
The last week of training before
the first/ meet will be the hardest,
according to tho coach. The com
plete team; to make tho trip will bo
selected before tho end of tho week.

SENIOR BALL FEATURE DANCERS
TO CREATE ILLUSION OF EAST
A captive Arabian dancer, a
handsome desert sheik, a|n unseen
minstrel who sings “A Song of the
Arabian Desert,” pantomime, danc
ing—these will comprise the features
of the Senior Ball. Edna Dipple as
the captive dancer, Ed Buchanan
as the sheik and Bill Forbis, the
unseen singer, have practised for
several weeks on their act. Jane
Bodine, chairman of the feature
dommittee reports success in the
last rehearsal. Vivian Harper is
making the costumes and Barney
MePhillips is attending to the stage
properties. A unique combination
6f feature and program has been
devised in 'that a resume of the
story of the feature will be printed
in the programs, which have been
designed by Warren Small.
Douglas Wilson, in charge of the
ticket sale said yesterday: “The
tickets are selling rapidly but there
are quite a number left. I do not
think the men realize that they are
to send invitations to the women
and chat these formal bids cannot
be obtained without the purchase of
a ticket. I would urge all men to
---
get their tickets now, rather than
at the last minute in order to send
the bids out before Saturday.”
Margaret Stahl has completed the
list of patrons and patronesses:
Govenor Walter M. Pierce; Bishop
and Mrs. Walter T. Sumner; Mrs.
Virginia Esterly; Dean and Mrs.

pus traditional social function.

Dili DEPARTMENT
RECEIVES RECOGNITION
Guild Hall Players Asked to
National Tournament
Tho University of Oregon’s dra
ma and play production department
have received recognition among
the Little Theatre groups through
out tho country. Miss Florence E.
Wilbur recently received a letter,
asking for a representation of Guild
hall players in a one act play which
would be presented at the annual
national Little Theatre Tournament
1920 which will be held in Now
York City during the week of May
at a Broadw.ay theatre, conduct
ed under tho auspices of the Man
hattan Little Theatre Club.
Four one-act plays will be pro
duced each evening by four differ
ent Little Theatre groups for five
evenings, until 20 presentations
have been shown. Fivo judges will
witness these productions and select
four out of the 20 plays shown as
the best plays presented, judged
according to a standard set as fol
lows: 50 per cent for presentation,
meaning “interpretation” or “how
well the idea of the play is gotten
ovor;” 20 per cent for acting; 15
per cent for setting; and 10 per
cent for selection of play. The best
play out of these four will then be
chosen, and at the Saturday evening
performance tho David Belasco Cup
will bo awarded the winners. The
contest is open to all Little Theatre
non-professional groups. This is to
be interpreted as meaning that no
professional actors shall be employ
ed in the presentations.
The first Little Theatre Tourna
ment was held in New York City
at the Bayes Theatre in 1923. The
East-West players of Manhattan
won the David Belasco Cup for
their production of “The Little
Stone House,” by George Calderon.

McClain, the discomfiture had been
caused bv two wires being whipped
together by the force of the gale,
and one had burned out.
Several roof fires were reported ,
throughout the city, among them,

Rate of Wind Estimated
Unfortunately the velocimeter
for recording the speed of the wind,
on the top of Villard hall, was out
of order, and the suddenness of the
gale prevented any repair. Gerard
M. DeBroekert, a freshman, who is
taking observations for the weath
er bureau, reported that he had no
velocimeter. but that his well-con
structed wireless aerial had been
1 blown down. C. J. Pruett, who has
I served in France with the engi
neers as weather observer, deter
mined from his books on the Beau
fort scale, which judges the velocity
lot' the wind by the amount of dam
age done, the storm at from f>ti to
AS miles an hour.
