Grid Practices To End Friday For This Term Workouts to be Resumed Spring Quarter; Men Learn New Style Freshmen Waging Hard Fight for Varsity With but three more days of prac tice left this term, the varsity grid aspirants are working with renew ed vigor on the plays and forma tions given by Coach J. J. McEwan, March 5 will be the last day of the winter quarter work, as a re cess will be called to give the play ers a chance to catch up with their studies. Practice, however, will be resumed at the beginning of the spring term and continue indefi nitely. Men Learning System Under the tutelage of McEwan, as sisted by Ellinger, Leslie, and Mautz, the men have readily assim ilated the rudiments of the new sys tem, and work together better with each succeeding scrimmage. Beryl Hodgen has been shifted from halfback to guard, and is pair ed with Bert Kerns in that position. Homer Dixon and Captain A1 Sin clair have' been getting most of the assignments at tackle. Sherman Smith has one wing position well in hand, but a host of candidates aro fighting it out for the other berth. Center also furnishes a hodge-podge of competition with Klippel and Cadwell, of the 1924 freshmen, threatening to crowd out Johnson and Carter, lettormen. iresnmaa snow uiass Ira Woodie, another freshman, has been doing good work at quar ter. He is a heady player, fairly fast, and with a corking good pass. Bill Jost has been running the sec ond team. The efforts of two new men have upset calculations in the backfield, which was considered set with Jones, Vitus, and Wetzel in the points. George Burnell, from the frosh squad, has been alternating regularly with the above named trio, and shows no signs of weaken ing. Tho other discovery is Arthur Ord, a midget halfback from Idaho, who lins been flashing more speed than has boon seen in many a day on the Hayward gridiron.

Hagan, stocky halfback from Port land, has shown promise, also. McEwan’s Style Different Frequent interruptions have de layed the spring work to some ex tent, as has the intricacy of the new army system, with its unorthodox line tactics and its fast shifting backfield. It is a style of play de pending upon synchronization and exact timing. The success of the 1926 Oregon grid machine may de pend upon the ability of the play ers to master the fundamentals of the McEwan system. The work has been sound, and the plays developed around conserv ative lines, concentrating the at tack, and interposing a great amount of deception. The famed Oregon standing defense is a relic of the'past under the new regime, which calls for ends and tackles high, but guards and center as near the ground as nature permits. This method of defensive play is used almost exclusively in the East. Moroni Olsen Players To Appear at Heilig In Play Tonight Once again campus folk are to ! have the pleasure of seeing the Moroni Olsen Players, when they make their last appearance of the season in “Friend Hannah” tonight at the Heilig theatre. Janet Young, a leading member of the company, has many friends among students and faculty as she is a graduate of the University in the class of 1913, and is a member of Delta Gamma. Moroni Olsen, director of the com pany, is a member of Sigma Chi. Most director-managers would never think of casting any other player than himself in a leading role—particularly when it was a good role. But in “Friend Han nah,” Mr. Olsen has taken a minor part for himself, that of a stolid old Quaker uncle,, and has given the leading male role of the play, the young Prince of Wales, later George III* of England, to Byron Foulger, the young man who played the son “Jack” in “The Ship.” Janet Young is also stepping out of the lead in this play in favor of Dorothy Adams. Miss Young is playing tho part of Betty Trot, the little servant girl and ' friend to Hannah.

Committee Named To Collect Pledges For Student Union A committee has recently been appointed by Walter Malcolm, pres ident of the student body, for the purpose of collecting money due on the Student Union pledges from peo ple who are not now on tire campus. The committee, under the direc tion of Romayne Brand, chairman, will attempt to collect this money 1 both through the medium of letters and personal solicitation during the spring vacation. These pledges are due from stu dents who have withdrawn from school and who pledged during former drives, before the five dol lar building fee was added to regis tration, do not have to pay on their pledges until after graduation, as their payments are automatically taken care of by this fee. Addi tional money, after the five dollars a term has been paid, will be due after leaving college. It is estimated that several thou sand dollars are due from delinquent payments, and as soon as this is collected the funds will be turned in to the general building fund of the University. The money will go to ward the first building project, the basketball pavillion, which will probably be started spring term. Two of Oregon’s alums spent last week-emd here, Mary Clerin dhi^d Cleo Base Koerner, both members of Delta Gamma sorority and grad uates from the class of ’25. Miss Clerin occupies a place on the Cot tage Grove Sentinel, and Mrs. Koer ner lives in Portland. Just Call 1-2-3 BEMiiMBES THE NUMBER 123 A Laundry Service that is both quick and efficient.
