By DICK SYRING
Tl|-R. WESLEY WINTERS, Oregon
Agricultural college pitcher,
made his second debut on Reinhart
field yesterday afternoon, only to
depart in the third inning instead
of the sixth as he had done in the
previous game. At the time of his
retirement from the contest, the
Lemon-Yellow varsity had scored
five hits for six runs, which gave
them a good start towards their 16
to 6 victory over the Beaver team
in the second tilt of their series of
four.
Big Lefty Hodgen took up the
burden, which later proved too great,
in the eighth and he retired in favor
of Lefty Stritmater who continued
with the hard luck. The Webfoot
ers scored seven runs in the eighth.
With two men on bases, Jack Bliss
drove out the farthest home run
recorded on the local diamond. It
sailed high over Sehulmerich, left
fielder’s head, and scored Reinhart
and Edwards.
Oregon Scores in First
Oregon’s first score came in the
initial inning when Hobson, first
man up, drove out a hit. Beinhart
flied to left and Edwards grounded
out to short. Jack Bliss, who won
batting honors hands down in yes
terday’s fracas, drove one through
the second baseman’s legs, scoring
Hobson. The varsity continued to
score and crossed the platter in ev
ery inning except the sixth.
The Aggie’s first score came in
the third when Escallier, first man
up, singled. Two singles by Hafen
felt and Baker brought him in witn
the first tally. The Orange and
Black horse hide chasers’ big in
ing wras in the fifth when two sin
gles, a double and triple scored
three runs.
Bill Ashby started on the mound
for the varsity and was relieved by
Baker in the seventh. He was touch
ed for 11 hits during this time, but
kept them well-scattered. Bill Bak
er worked well in the last three can
tos. He allowed the visitors but
two bingles, no runs and struck out
four.
Bliss Cops Hitting Honors
Hitting Honors for the losers were
evenly divided between Hafen
felt and Baker who each crashed
out three bingles. Jack Bliss, with
his two triples and home run in

Week-end Games Feature
Pitchers’ Battles
Slugging Fests
By DICK JONES
The semi-finals in the intra-mural
baseball league will open this af
ternoon at 3:30 on the frosh di
amond, with the Alpha Tau Ome
gas playing the Delta Tau Deltas.
Thursday at 4:00 the Phi Gamma
Deltas will meet the Sigma Chis
to determine which team plays in
the finals.
The past week-end resulted in the
defeat of four teams, and the vic
tory of three. The losers were
Sigma Pi Tau, Theta Chi, Phi Kappa
Psi, and Beta Theta Pi. On the
winning side were the Sigma Chis,
Delta Tau Deltas, and Fijis.
\Vhen the battling Betas and
| fighting Fijis met on the frosh di
amond Friday it was a case of
“Greek meet Greek”—and, as some
one had to lose, it turned out that
the Beta men, because of numerous
errors, came out on the small end
of a 5 to 1 score. The game proved
to be very tight except for the first
two innings, which were slugging
and muffing contests, with the
Fijis doing the slugging and the
Betas the muffing.
After waiting a half an hour for
Umpire Bob Mautz, who hadn’t set
the alarm early enough, the Theta
Chi-Sigma Chi fray was started
Saturday morning, and, before long,
turned out to be a slugging contest.
Red Slauson occupied the mound
for the Sigma Chis and suceeded
in whiffing ten of the opposing

"You Never Can Tell” to Be Given
at Heilig June 11 by Guild Players
“You Never Can Tell”, a comedy
of social conventions, by George
Bernard Shaw, which attracted
much attention in London society
in 1900, will be presented by the
Guild Theatre players at the Hei
Hg theatre, June 11, both matinee
and evening, under .the direction
of Miss Florence E. Wilbur. This
is the annual senior play for the
commencement week program, and
is being produced by a group of ad
vanced students, except for minor
parts.
Shaw has devoted his whole life
to the art of persuasion, and in
“You Never Can Tell” he has clear
ly brought out the moral force of
his characters. Satire and realism
are combined in the representation
of the playwright’s own views of
life.
“You Never Can Tell” offers an
amueing study of the convention
alities of life in four acts, dealing
mostly with the frivolities of socie
ty. All four acts take place in one
day, beginning on an August morn
ing in the year 1896. The scenes
are laid at a fashionable summer re
sort on the English coast.
The first act is in the office of a
five-shilling dentist, which had been
open six weeks. The young dentist
happens to be Mr. Valentine, Ar
thur Gray, whose first patient is
the flighty Dolly, Etha Clark, who
with her twin brother, Philip, Jack
Jones, after a brief conversation
with the dentist, asks him to dine
with them. Mr. Valentine refuses
to accept the invitation until the
twins prove that they ha’ve a father,
dead or alive.
The second act is on the terrace
of the Marine hotel, where the
Clandon family, including Mrs.
Clandon, Jane BoDine; Gloria, the
eldest daughter, Norma-Jane
McCleary; and the twins with
their three guests, Mr. Crampton,
a wealthy yacht builder, Edgar
Buchanan; Finch McComas, a so
licitor, Cecil Matson; and the young
dentist all are eating. Acts three
and four are the same, being in Mrs.
Clandon’s room in the hotel where
finally, due to the tact of William,
the waiter, Alfons Korn, a recon
ciliation of family affairs is at
tained. Two other members of the
cast are Bohun, the lawyer, Thomas
Montgomery; and the maid, Frida
Deininger.
The producing staff for the play
includes: property manager, Eliza
beth Talbot; stage manager, Perry
Douglas; and business manager,
Dick Hoyt.
The ticket sale for the play will
begin June 10, although mail orders
will be taken now. The admission
for the matinee performance will
be 35 cents, lower floor, and 25
cents for the balcony. All seats are
reserved for the evening perfor
mance, and will be 75 and 50 cents
for the lower floor and 50 cents for
the balcony. Seniors can get as
many exchange tickets as they wish
for 25 cents apiece at the Co-Op,

Recital Will Be Given
Wednesday, June 2
The annual recital by the pupils
of John B. Siefert, of the school of
music, will be given in the school
of music auditorium, on Wednesday
evening, June 2. An interesting
program has been prepared. It will
contain excerpts from the following
operas: “Pique Dame,” “Madam
Butterfly,” “Tannhauser,” “Faust,”
“Carmen,” “Nadeshda” and “Jos
hua.” Songs by the well-known
masters of song literature, as well

music. Owing to the length of the
program, it will commence promptly
at eight o’clock.

Post Office Asks for
Summer Addresses
The post master suggests to all
students that they leave their sum
mer addresses at the Eugene post

of the students not leaving for

are to select the winner.
Captains Chosen
By Esther Hardy
For Next Year
Second Committee to Care
For Girls Who Arrive
First Week
The eaptains for the Big Sister
movement for next year have been
chosen by the chairman, Esther
Hardy, and plans are being made
for that activity for next year. The
captains will be: Frances Plimpton,
Mary Cogswell, Harriet Baldwin,
Katherine Graef, Marian Barnes,
Mary Clark, Ruth Going, Virginia
Lee Richardson, Ruth Miller, and
Ruth Corey. These 10 captains will
each appoint 10 lieutenants to work
under them. During the summer
the duty of this committee will be
to get hold of girls who are plan
ning to enter the University next
fall, and help them with registra
tion when they arrive on the cam
pus.
In addition to these 10 captains,
there will be another committee,
headed by Maizie Richards, which
will take care of the girls who comp
in during rush week of the fall
term, and have not sent previous
word of their intention of entering
the University.
The lieutenants will be selected
this week, and a general meeting
of all the committee members will
be held next week.
“The Big Sister movement will
be conducted much the same next
year as it was this,” says Esther
Hardy, “except for the one new
committee. We are trying to get
girls whom we think will be inter
ested and who have time enough to
devote to it, to be the big sisters.
To help us in appointing the right
kind of girls, we are asking the
heads of houses to send lists of
girls from their houses whom they
think would be competent and will
ing.”

Sophomore Girls Win
Tennis Doubles Here
The girls ’ sophomore doubles
team, in the first team division,
took two straight sets from the jun
ior pair yesterday morning securing
the tennis laurels in their group.
The matches in this class stood at
a three-cornered tie last week after
all the scheduled games had been
played. The sophomores upset all
expectations by falling before the
seniors, who had in -turn been ease i
victims of the second-year girls. In
a hot contest Monday noon, Nellie
Johns and Christina Holt, sopho
more doubles, won 6-3 and 7-5 from
the senior team, composed of Velma
Scholl and May Helliwell.
The game yesterday with the
juniors ended 6-1 and 7-5. The score
of the second match shows that the
junior girls, Margaret Pepoon and
Marjorie Horton, put up a good fish,
to hold the sophomores, but the
sophomores played heady tennis
and halted any onslaught.

By Students
UpToFaculfy
Colloquium Meet Tonight
To Survey Findings of
Committee
BY MARGARET HENSLEY
Well defined problems brought to
light ns a result of the effort* of
the student investigation committed
that recently made a detailed sur
vey of undesirable conditions in
scholarship and administration at
the University will be considered
at the faculty Colloquium meeting'
to be held tonight, in room 110
Johnson hall, at 7:30.
This is the first Colloquium gath
ering this year. The purpose of
the meeting is to discuss vitally im
portant matters. In view of tho
agitation caused by the report
printed recently in the Emerald,
the data compiled has been thought
worthy of attention and serious con
sideration.
Statements Sent Faculty
Statements explaining the merit
of the report have been sent to all
members of the faculty. In this let
ter it is intimated that the instruc
tors have already discussed some of
the recommendations presented in
the articles. The fact that the stu
dents now offer suggestions for im
provement make the action of the
faculty not only desirable, but al
most compulsory, according to the
statement.
Probably no definite course will
be determined at this meeting,
the purposo being rather to diseuw
and survey certain chief problems.
Professor Walter Barnes, of the
history department, suggested tlmt
this matter be taken up by the Col
loquium at the last meeting of the
faculty.
Committee Lists Suggestions
The points suggested tentatively
by the committee in charge, under
the chairmanship of Edward H.
Decker, professor of law, are:
1. The introduction of a “Fresh
man year” or junior college, and
other curricular changes, sueh aa
survey courses.
2. The grade system and possible
changes with reference to effeet am
scholarship.
3. Measures for affording special
opportunity and encouragement for
superior students.
4. The elimination of the unfit,
either before or after entrance to
the university.
Copies of the complete report of
the students may be secured by
calling at the journalism building
or the libraries.
Students are not to be admitted
to this meeting.
