Rivalry to Be Missing
Orchesis Presentation to
Conclude Day’s Affair
f -
vpODAY is the annual “big day”
for the women athletes of the
Oregon campus. It is the finale
for the majority of the sports events
for the spring term and the year.
What is more, the Oregon women
have invited the Women’s Athletic
association from O. A. C. to come
over and enjoy the day with them.
So there is an added interest this
year, and the customary “Field
Day,” in which all final class con
tests were played off, gives way to
“Play Day,” a romping, rollicking
event between the women of the
two schools. This will be the first
time that the two institutions have
come together in an athletic event
without the spirit of sharp rivalry
predominating.
Program Begins at 9 a. m.
The day’s program starts at nine
o ’clock. Canoeing on the millrace
is the first evenr, of the day. An
exhibition race between the teams
who made first and second places |
in the class competitive races will
take place. The two teams who
will race are Gladys Bristol and
Marjorie Horton, winners of first
place for the juniors, and Eleanor
A Marvin and Juanita Dietze, sopho
mores who came in second in the
class finals run off yesterday morn
ing.
This quartet of girls has been
practicing four-paddle canoeing,
which will be an added attraction to
the race.
Following the canoeing, the ten
nis singles final will be played off
on the University courts. Geneva
Zimmer, first singles for the soph
omore first team, and Jane Cochran
will play in this exhibition match.
Mixed teams, composed on each
side of one Oregon and one O.A.C.
girl, will play two sets of doubles.
The four campus girls participating
are Itegina Davault, Beth Ager, Vel
ma Scholls, and Josephine Yocum.
Hockey Game on Program
A hockey contest between mixed
teams is the last feature of the
morning program. This will begin
at 11:00.
Following the hockey match the
visitors will be luncheon guests at
the various houses on the campus.
Ten girls from the University and
a like number of the guests will don
middies and bloomers at two o’clock
for a game of baseball.
Both schools will join in giving
a demonstration of horseback rid
ing, beginning at three o’clock.
This will take place on the usual

To Christian Hospital
After Accident
Tom Maupin, a freshman in the
University was struck by an auto
mobile near Midway, on the pacific
highway two miles south of Eugene,
yesterday evening, and severely in
jured.
Maupin was taken to the Eugene
Christian Hospital where an exam
ination revealed a broken leg, and!
a cut on his head. The cut is not
expected to develop into anything
serious and there are no internal
injuries.
While waiting for a street car to

received his master’s degree from
Columbia University, New York.
Spirit of Klatawa to Pervade Drama
Depicting Transportation History
?
BY FRANCES BOTJRHILL
Catchiilg at shadowy pictures and
half-formed notions of life as it
was and is today, W. F. G. Thacher,
author and instructor in short sto
ry writing at the University of
Oregon, has crystallized vague con
ceptions into a moving drama, the
central theme of which is the de
velopment of transportation in the
Northwest. The pageant will be
presented the evening of August
19, at Hayward field, Eugene, Ore
gon, as part of the celebration for
the completion of the Natron cut
off.
With solemn step across the large
arena of the athletic field in the
dusk of the summer night, the Indi
ans will trek to their camping place.
Among them will be Klatawa, Chin
ook name for “go” or “travel”,
whose moving spirit will pervade
all ten phases of the pageant.
When the war dance is over and
the light of the council fire is play
f ing on the faces of the stoic tribe
word will come to them that a
strange and awesome phantom is
approaching. They will enter the
stage, where in the dim light a ship
will anchor by the shore. Through
pantomime the Indians will parley,
and finally give and receive pres
ents of peace.
Another phase of the pageant
will present the coming of Lewis
and Clark into the wilderness of the
Northwest. A covered wagon with
its swinging lantern and parapher
nalia for the journey and a new
home will lumber across the arena
to form the motif for another phase.
For the depicting of the advent j
of the railroads Mr. Thacher has
conceived a large terminal teeming
with the expectant and restless life
of travelers and those who are
waiting to welcome back the wan
derers.
Into the arena with frying pan,
chicken coop, dogs and children jut
ting from its battered sides will
chugg a Ford to depict the coming
of the automobile and the birth of
the class of gypsy-wandering Ameri- ‘
cans.
On magnificent proportions will be
the phase depicting the restless jam j
of the late-afternoon traffic. Klat- i
awa, now a traffic officer, will
stop the moving mass to allow a
review of all forms of transporta
tion to pass.
The finale comes when Klatawa,
through the manipulation of light
ing effects shines forth from the
black dome of the sky while a fleet
of brilliant airplanes circle and roar
overhead.
Between the phases of the pag
eant Mr. Thacher plants to intro
duce ballet dancing and choruses
of men’s and mixed voices. Doris
Smith, author of Rosaria, will di
rect the pageant.

Final Trials of Year
For Physical Ability
Men to Be Held Today
The final physical ability telst of
the year will be given in the men’s
gymnasium this morning at 10
o’clock according to announcement
from the physical education depart
ment this week. Fifteen men have
already signed up for the test and
will be put through by the staff
today.
The last test of the year is a
round of all the men who have been
unable to pass it in the previous
trials given and particularly those
who wish to raise their score for
work next year. iGrades in the de
partment for physical ability men
are made out on the score of the
test so those who wish to add a
few points may do so this morning
and their work will be chalked up
for next year. Those who have
not passed the test will be given
the opportunity of taking the test.
The competition this morning will
be particularly keen for a half doz
en men are out after the high marks
of the year. A last effort will be
made by some of these to topple
over the mark set by Ed Slaussen
with 118 points for the year. C.
F. Orr, Arthur Ord and Lloyd
McGee are other high point scores
in the order named with 87, 87 and
84 respectively. They will probably
go farther down the line if new
high scores are made this morning.
Any one who has not signed up to
date may register this morning and
compete with the group, according
to the announcement. The test
starts at 10 o’clock sharp.

‘See Reds’ to Meet ‘Golf
Sox’ in Novel Clash;
Co-ed Will Umpire
Juniors rally! Today’s the day
when the class throws a no-date
picnic and dance at Coburg bridge.
Free transportation on a special
train has been provided. The stage
is all set, and the only thing re
quired to make the event a huge
success is for every junior to be
in front of Villard hall this after
noon at 2:00. Forget that the end
of the term is near for one day
and the committee in charge guar
antees one grand round of pleasure.
The “See Bed” baseball stars,
under the direction of “Doc”
Wrightman, are keyed up to dis
able their rivals, the “Golf Sox”
who are training with “Nails”
Neighbor, the boy wonder. This
clash promises to be the most novel
game of the season. “ICay” Graef,
the co-ed athlete, will umpire. There
will be no charge for this or any
other attraction of the day.
Other snappy outdoor amuse
ments such as a volleyball game,
two-legged race, potato race, fat
man’s sprint, thin women’s race,
and other novelty contests have
been planned. Prizes will be award
ed to winners in the races.
The Oregon Aggravatorp will
start their music at 5:00 and dan
cing will continue until 8:00. Sev
eral prizes will be given during the
evening.
Some of the delectable numbers
on the menu are: combination vege
table salad, ham, three varieties of
sandwiches, pickles to suit every
one, cookies, lemonade, marshmal
lows, and gallons of ice-cream and
crates of strawberries. No one will
be crippled in a daph for food as
a force of servers have been rehear
sing.
Chaperones for the picnic are:
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean
of women, Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Snyder, of the English department,
and George Turnbull, professor of
journalism.
The train will return immediately

the special benefit of those who
wish to return to the campus ear
lier than 8:30. There will be no
charge for this ride.
Baseball Team
To Meet Bears
Today at 3:30
St. Johns Nine Rated High
In North-west Ball
Circles
This afternoon at 3:30 Coach Bil
ly Reinhart and his crew of nine
hunters start an intensive bear hunt.
Bats will be used in place of guns
when the Oregon varsity tangles
with the St. Johns- Bears of Port
land in the second encounter be
tween the two teams this season.
Reinhart and his men were forced
to go without bear meat the first
time, 5 to 3.
The St. Johns Bears coached and
trained by Ray Brooks present a
very formidable nine. The Bears
have been traveling in fast company
this season, being members of one
of the best 'semi-professional leagues
in the northwest. They are now
high up among the leaders. In the
first encounter the Bears used a
flinger, Uibke, who had the var
sity fanning the air most of the
time. In today’s fracas Brooks
will probably start “Dinty” Moore,
phenomenal young pitcher of Port
land. Moore is an ex-Roosevelt high
school flinger where he made an un
equaled record.
The Oregon varsity, fresh from i
their recent victory over the Uni
versity of Washington Huskies 10
to 9 last Tuesday, have been work
ing hard for the coming game. Ev
erything will be done in order to
turn in a win. According to Coach
Reinhart yesterday, he did not know
who would pitch today but a fling- I
cr will be selected from Ashby, Ba
ker or Williams. Jack Bliss will
cavort behind the windpad and the
rest of the line up will be the same
as the Tuesday contest.
Next Tuesday afternoon at 3:30
the lemon-yellow varsity meet the
Oregon Aggies on the local diamond
in the second game of their Series
of four. Oregon won the first con
test 7 to 3.
Varsity Meets
Multnomah oil
Track Today
Entrants to Be Picked for
O. A. C. Contest to Be
Held Next Week
Renfro to Offer Stiff
Competition in Dashes
Dasliney in Condition for
Weight Work
rJ'HE final test on the home track
for varsity men is slated for
this afternoon at 2 o’clock with
Multnomah Athletic Club repre
sented by a full team. As a re
sult of the work they do this after
noon three athlete® will be picked
in each event for the “big” meet
next week-end with O.A.C.
Walt Kelsey, captain of the team,
is scheduled to make his appear
ance in the 100 yard dash, one of
the few events he has not entered
in his four years of competition
here. There is a possibility that
he is the coming third man on the
sprint squad which looks to clean
thing® up over at Corvallis.
Dashney Back In Team
Otherwise the entry list remains
the same. The return of Dashney
to the team in the past week puts
more strength in the shot and dis
cus, with Vic Wetzel in condition
to compete.
The feature races of the day will
probably be those in which Koland
Renfro will line up against the best
sprinters Bill Hayward has in both,
the 100 and 220. The Winged M
crack dashman will probably be
pushed for the first time this year.
Jerry Extra, Harry Holt and Walt
Kelsey will match strides with him
in the century and Extra, Holt, and
Prendergast will probably trail him
in the 220, his best race.
Planagan to Participate
Proctor Flanagan, who exceeded
his own Paeifc Coast Conference
record which he made in 1925, by
5 inches at the meet last Saturday,
will take his first hard workout
today and should provide, the near
est to record performance of the
afternoon.
A renewal of the old rivalry in
the 440 yard race and the tryout
of a. new man in Bob Overstreet
in the event may bring out some
thing startling. Price, Ager, Jef
fries, Prendergast and Pearson with
Overstreet should provide another
near feature event.

Students to Compose
Birthday Song Words
^FEATURE of the Semi-Cen
tenial celebration to be held
next October will be the singing
of a song to be known i^s the
birthday song of the University.
Wards are to be selected from
lyrics submitted by members of
the student body and others.
Members of the committee,
Mrs. Alice Henson Ernst, W. F.
G. Thacher, and Ralph D. Casey,
arc hopeful that the song select
ed will be the product of a stu
dent of Oregon.
The requirements necessary are
very simple; no positive restric
tions are offered. It is suggest
ed, however, that the lyric
should be in metrical form of
not more than three stanzas, pref
erably with a refrain.
“I look upon this as an op
portunity for some of the poets
on the campus to achieve a very
distinguished honor. The song
will be published and will form
an imperishable part of the lit
erature of the University,” Mr.
Thacher said, concerning the
song writing.

Faculty Plan
Open Meeting*
To Be May 26
Colloquium Session to Con
Report of Scholarship
Investigation
Copies of Record, for
Distribution Published
Student Council Will Also
Discuss Survey
rJ,HE first meeting of the Collo
quium of faculty members this
year will be hold Wednesday eve
ning, May 26, at 7:30 o’clock in
Room 110 Johnson hall, for the pur
pose of considering the recent report
of the student investigation of scho
larship and general conditions now
existing at the University.
The following statement has been,
sent to the faculty force by the
Colloquium committee.
Faculty to Study Survey
To the Faculty:
As the faculty knows, a commit
tee of students has recently pub
lished in the Emerald an elaborate
survey, based on an investigation
previously made, of conditions in
the 'student body with reference
to scholarship, and a series of sug
gestions for the betterment of con
ditions as they now exist.
The report is an able one and
many of the recommendations have
merit. Some if them have already"
had more or less faculty consider
ation, but the fact that they are
now presented by the students ren
ders it not only desirable but al
most compulsory, if we would take
advantage of this new spirit agi
tating the student mind, that the
faculty make a careful study of
the innovations proposed with a
view toward adopting any whisk.
seem feasible, and to explaining to
the students why others shonld be
rejected. To this end it was sug
: gested by Professor Walter Barnes.
I at the last meeting of the faculty
i that the matter be taken up by the
I Colloquium. The committee hesi
| fated to do this on account of the
; short time remaining in the acad
emic year, but have concluded that
a meeting is advisable.
A meeting is therefore called for
Wednesday evening, May 26. At
this meeting it is not anticipated
that any final action can be taken
as to any of the proposals, nor even
that full discussion can be had. The
purpose is rather to survey the
field, pick out well defined prob
lems which can be separately con
sidered next year, and obtain sug
gestions as to the general course
to be pursued.
Points to be Discussed
The committee tentatively ad
vances the following as topics for
discussion:
1. The introduction of a "fresh
man year” or junior college, and
other curricular changes, such aa
i survey courses.

Vaudeville Acts oj Art and Humor
Featured in Festival of Nations
From the peasant land of Nor
mandy to the islands of the south
ern archipeligo an audience of
University folk travelled with the
Festival of Nations at the -Guild
hall theatre last night. The eve
ning of entertainment was spon
sored by the campus Cosmopolitan
i Club, and consisted in vaudeville
acts ranging from those of artistic
quality to humorous ones.
France was represented by Lydie
Coqblin, holder of the Women’s
League scholarship, who sang a
song of handkerehieveB, the hand
kerchief of a coquette, of a bum
ming derelict, and of a treacherous
Apache, and although Sylvester W.
Brigham may not know how to eat
spaghetti with a fork, he knows
two Italian love songs, and sang
them as if he cdcnew what they
meant.
A diminutive slant-eyed lady from
the chrysanthemum islands told a
story all about the sun goddess who
was imprisoned in a rock by the
evil spirits, and then armored war
riors enacted the drama, with flash
ing swords and reed pipes, until the
sun goddess could stand it no longer
and came out to see what the matter
might be.
Spain was depicted by “La Pa
loma,” sung by William Forbis with
real Spanish dash, and danced by
Etha Jean Clark with a tamborine
and a shawl. Siemon Muller won
hearty applause and the hearts of
| women by doffing bis hat and sing
ing Russian songs, a midnight ser
enade and a Gypsy love song, and
I the audience heard probably for the
j first time “The Rosary” played on
a steel guitar. The solo was given
j by Simon Cnrbonell, who represent
| ed Hawaii.
Trim Filipino gentlemen and
ladies in native costume presented
a one-act comedy, “The Ghost,n in
which a very modern daughter
! caused her father to fall from a
chair, break his leg, and then she
fell in love with the young doctor
who was called.
Social life in both Sweden and
Germany was interpreted in song
and dance by picturesquely garbed
men and women, Ben Chan, Chinese
citizen nimbly illustrated the art
of self defense with a carved ivory
sword, and those girls whose par
' ents or forefathers were born in
England danced an elongated sword
dance with wooden swords and red
sashes. It is doubtful that Frances
Wardner, Eleanor Beckwith, Ger
trude Hill and Elizabeth Talbot
were born in ancient Greece, but
they helped Christ Loukas and Lee
Brown portray the country where
art originated in a tragic little skit,
“The Choice of Hercules,” in wheh
the athlete scorned the lure of
Goddess of Pleasure (Beckwith) far
that if Virtue (Hill). Greek dan
cers in costume posed with tlure*
balloon balls.
