Day’s Best Mark
The tryouts for the Seattle Relay
carnival ' held on Hayward Field
f iturdav afternoon left Coaeh Bill
Fayward in more of a quandary
ever as to how many men he
•<rl!l take north with him and how
many events he will enteronMay
1 The five events of the afte
noon were run off in slow time
most disappointing to the veteran
C°The hurdle face run by Franeie
Cleaver and Walt Kelsey, two vet
erans on the team and the find
of the year, Ralph Tuck, was the
outstanding performance of the
afternoon, and was easily the best
performance of the varsity men in
the tryouts. Cleaver got off to
a good start and won the event in
the fast time of 15.1. Tuck was
barely a yard behind him and Kel
7 was third seven feet behind
; winners. Burns was fourth. The
perience of Cleaver and hie cl
ient form accounted for his show
Overstreet Takes Half
In the 880-yard tryQuts for the
2 mile relay Bob Overstreet easily
outclassed the field and loped to
the tape fully 15 yards ahead of,
his nearest competitor to win ini
the time of 2:01. This was good
for the time of year, and Bill Hay-j
ward is counting on him to cut
that down by two or three full sec
onds before the season is over. Boss,
a varsity miler, led for the first
lap, where Overstreet came up to
first and never lost the lead. Guy
Mauney, a half miler from last
year’s team, held his second place,
but the others see-sawed between
Oehler, Manning and Thorstenberg.
Ed Thorstenberg placed third and
Lester Oehler got fourth at the fin-j
isli.
The quarter mile tryouts for the
F'J'e relay team ended almost in
i lead heat between Paul Ager and
a Price, both lettermen in the
„.8nt, but Price won out by a hair.
time of 52 was slow for the
event and was not up to the stand
ard which Price has been setting.
He has been ill and out of condition
for the past three weeks. He has
run it consistently a second faster
than Saturday. Laverne Pearson
and Don Jeffries furnished another
battle for third and fourth places,
with Pearson winning.
Extra Hoses out Kelsey
The 220 yard dash, with the group
of unusually fast sprinters, was won
by Jerry Extra with a final burst
of speed that placed him six inches
in front of Walt Kelsoy who had
led the pack all the way. The
time of 23:02 was slow for the
event and far from the expectations
f the coach. Hampton Allen, a
winter who has just shown promise
i the last two weeks, was third,
id Francis Cleaver, varsity hurdler,
need fourth.
The three-lap run for the Medley j
Was won bv a 25 yard margin by
Fern Kelly, varsity miler, in 3:17
which was fairly fast for the event.
John Neidermeier placed second,!
with A1 Syvanen and John Ander
son in third and fourth places. Kel
ly led all the way.
Committee
(Continued from r>aije one)
American higher education in many!
respects is subject to severe con
structive criticism and have real
ized further that University stu
dents possess the right, the obli
gation and the ability to assist ma
terially in ironing out some of the
logs desirable features of American'
adversities.
One of the first and most note-1
worthy pieces of student co-opera
tion was the “Dartmouth Report”
In which Dartmouth undergraduates
at the suggestion of the University
president, after many months of in
investigation, submitted a detailed
course of study and general survey
of Dartmouth conditions. This re
port, submitted last fall, has re
ceived nation wide attention.
Harvard students in the past year
published a booklet giving detailed
fc.iailysis and criticism„of individual
f-tfrsos, and, more-recently have pre
t nted a report to the Harvard
trustees suggesting, among other
matters, that the University be
broken up into small colleges of
three hundred students each.
Yale Makes Reports
The Yale Daily News, with its
1927 platform already organized, is
aware of the general situation, de
manding among other things, the
“consideration by authorities of
undergraduate opinion”; changes in
curriculum. Dartmouth Plan and
Harvard Tutorial System recom
mended”; “Unlimited cuts for jun
Vagabonds Charm Vodvil Audience;
Gaieties Girls in Variety of Dances
BY JACK O’MEABA
If applause is to be regarded as
a criterion of approval, then Fred
West, A1 Smith, Ted Larsen and
Paul Peek, the Varsity Vagabonds
in a “Record Breaking Affair”
were the hit of the Junior Vodvil.
i The act contained both variety and
j originality in the numbers and was
I polished with the skilled execution
of experienced professionals. The
Vagabonds were accompanied by
George Weber on the piano.
Attention to detail and precise
training were exhibited by the
McPhillips Gaieties. Barney
McPhillips, director, in choosing the
chorus, displayed peerless taste in
the uniformity, voice and dancing
ability, and appearance of the
•girls. Esther Setters again proved
the qualities which made her the
star of the 1924 Vodvol. The cos
tumes impressed one both by their
individuality of design and artistic
color effects. Dance features by
Lillian Bennett, Anona Hildebrand,
and Bob Warner with Katherine
Mutzig gave a diverting note to the
act. The music arranged and di
rected by Don Adams, contributed
much to the success of the revue.
The honors as laughmaker were
taken by Collins Elkins, his act
“Chiropracticing”, a humorous dis
course, being repeatedly interrupted
by the laughter of the audience.
Barney McPhillips’ “Hermit of
Shark-Tooth Shoal” showed that his
dramatic ability was not confined
to the production of dance revues.
The atmosphere of the land of
toreadors was pronounced in the
“Soul of Spain”. Etha Clark and j
Milton George presented the ever
popular tango, while William For
bis featured with Spanish songs.
Janice Larsen’s whistling selections
were well received. She was ac
companied by Dorothy Black.
A skit of vaudeville caliber,
slight of plot and profuse with com
edy dialogue, was “I Don’t Want
to Get Married.” Edgar Buchan
an starred, assisted by Jane Bo
Dine, Sara Benathum and Alfons
Korn.
One of the secrets of the April
Frolic was exposed when the esn- j
ior women presented their stunt, |
“Over the Bolling Sea.” The pro- j
logue by Geneva Smith, sailor dances ■
and songs gave it a tang of the sea. j
iors and seniors whose general av
erage is 75.”; and "reduction of
public’s virtual control of college
football.”
The Oregon investigation, while
somewhat different in its angle of
attack from any of the other in
vestigations, is considered by the
student participants as a manifesta
tion of this nation-wide student in
terest in their own education. The
Oregon report will consist of an
analysis of the present situation
with the causes pointed out, and def
inite, practical suggestions for bet
terment of prevailing conditions.
Students Sponsor Probe
The present investigation, which
has been under way for the past
four weeks, while strictly under stu
dent auspices, is not without con
siderable faculty interest and sup
port. During the recent question
naire distribution faculty and ad
ministration approval was practical
ly unanimous.
The attitude of tho student com
mittee was explained by one of its
members yesterday.
“We do not believe the Universi
ty of Oregon is unusual in the man
ner in which it supervises the in
tellectual activity of its students.
Tho condition at Oregon may bo
found over the entire nation. Wo
are anxious, however, that Oregon
should bo not merely average, but
of exceptionally high standard, and
it is towards that end that we are
working.
“The committee is approaching its
task in the spirit of genuine re
search. No one is looking for a
fight, nor are there any bones to
pick. The committee is quite will
ing to let the facts speak for them
selves without any attempt to re
sort to sensational elaboration or
emphasis.”
Names of the Oregon students en
gaged in drawing up the report will
not be made public until publica
tion of the final report.
