SPORTS by the Emerald Sporf Staff „ Track Men Vie On Wet Cinders; Coach Contfent Inter-Frat Relay Set For April 16: Cups Go to Winners Results of Saturday’s Meet Satisfactory The University of Oregon track men held their last week-end com petition of the winter term last Saturday afternoon. The usual drizzling rain prevented the aspir ants from showing any thing unus ual in the way of distance or times in the events. Bill Hayward, Oregon track coach, is satisfied with the results of the weekly meets which he intended to be used as a means of getting a line on the material turning out in each event. Inasmuch as the weather lias been very bad for conditioning sprinters and weight men during the winter term, Hayward will stay on the cam pus to help any one who wishes to keep up track training during the spring vacation period, he said. Inter-Fraternity Meet Set In order to increase interest in the sport there will be an inter-fra ternity relay meet April 16. In this carnival the only men not eligible for competition are those who have ■won letters in track. A silver cup will go to the win ning team of each relay race. Sev eral business men have promised to furnish cups which will go to the organization whose team wins in any event. Ray Babb, Dave Graham, the College Side Inn, McMorran and Washburne, and Obak Wallace have promised to donate cups to the win ners of the relays. The events scheduled for the car nival follow: 440-yard relay, each man running 110 yards; half mile relay, each runner covering a fur long; the mile relay, each mian to run 440 yards. The next event will be the sprint medley relay with the first two men running 110 yards; the next 220 yards and the fourth man covering the quarter distance. The last event will be the distance medley with the first two rimers going 220 yards, the third a quar ter, and the last 880. This inter-fraternitv .meet will al so aid the coach in getting a line on the valuable men for the relay car nival which is to be held in'Seat tle, April 110. Team to Hurdle Grades The scandal sheet, which worries j most coaches, will not affect track' to any great extent, Hill Hayward said yesterday, it may hinder some members of the frosh squad, but the I varsity men are all up in their ! grades. Additions will be made to the j varsity ranks next term, the coach I said. Among those returning will! be Jerry Extra and Dwight Kircher, sprinters, Me Pit rick, who ran the i half mile on the frosh team last! .Near, will be a valuable man in easel he returns. Last season he stepped I the 880 in 2:02, and with training j should improve into a good point collector. Hill Crawford and Ralph AlcCul- j lock, high jumoe;a ;r,-,m last year ’g | 1 •'.!£ probably will return. Week be fore last McC'ullock jumped 5 feet ' !' inches without training, and j should develop. Crawford, who also I clears the bar tit a good height, will I probably be used in the hurdles, but may also be used in the jumps. JJd Crowley, veteran vnulter is showing good early season form, o' with Bracher, Bunn and Hi"’ as reserves, this team sh ot the strongest, Ho ward. Kese' Wi Oregon Places Second in State Swimming Meet Three Fresh, One Varsity Man on Team; Record Set hy Anderson Four Oregon swimmers, one var sity man and three freshmen, jour neyed to Corvallis Saturday after noon, to take part in the state cham pionship swimming meet, and brought back live medals between them. Johnny Anderson, in spite of the fact that he was suffering from in digestion, set a new Northwest rec ord in winning the backstroke in j 1:55.9, and tied for first in the 100 yard dash. Chuck Silverman, strong distance l man on the frosli squad, gave George ! Horsfall, Northwest record-holder, j the battle of his life when he lost the ' 440-yard free style race to the Mult nomah club star by three feet. The j time of 6:01.2 was far better than ] the present coast freshman record ! hold by Silverman. “Wig” Fletcher, varsity breast stroker, proved an easy second to Becker in that event, and received a silver token of his ability. Bob McAlpin, an ineligible fresh man, placed second to Anderson in the backstroke, although be was forced to come from far behind Lin derman of the club to turn the trick. Multnomah club placed first in both the men’s and women’s divi sion of the meet while Oregon was a comfortable second in the men’s events. O. A. C. was third, some dis tance behind the Oregon representa tives. The showing made in the state meet is ample proof that the Web foots will be outstanding in Nortli ; west swimming circles next season. All four of the participants in Sat urday’s meet are improving daily and are sure to upset a number of | State and Northwest records next : year. | | Squash Tourney Near Final Round; Injury to Player Causes Delay I’lav in the free lance squash tourney has reached the semi-finals | in the upper half of the draw and the third round in the lower half. Abercrombie is to play' Widmer to | determine the finalist in the upper half, and the winner of the Coffin Beinliart match will play Clare Hartman to decide the finalist in the lower section. In the best match of last week, Reinhart proved better than Gawer by scores of 2-15, 15-13, 15-13. Cof fin took a default from Jim Terry. Abercrombie and Widmer started their match Thursday- afternoon, but met with an accident that caused the postponement of the match. Ab bie careened into the wall in third and deciding game and removed a six-inch, splinter at the expense of his trousers and person. The match will be replayed Monday if Abbie feels able to attend. Clare Hartman showed consider able skill in defeating Charles Bur ton in a match that was decided by Hartman’s angle shots to the corn ers. Scores were 17-16, 15-10. Evans (Continued from paye one) ence and when lie was given an honorable discharge shortly after the Armistice he went back to his work on the piano and organ greatly gratified that his talent had not been harmed. Evans began his career at the age of five years and an undeter mined number of days. Contrary to the general conception of a young man’s attitude toward music les sons, he really loved to practice. At first tlie work was hard and some times monotonous, but after lie had once acquired the rudimentary ele ments of the art his parents could leave the whip on the shelf, and even the boys who passed outside with fishing poles on their shoulders or played “one-old-cat ” in the street before his window did not often lure him away. He studied in New York under Rudolph Ganz and Rubin Goldmark, both nationally famous musicians. Ganz is now con ductor of the St. Louis symphony orchestra and is considered by crit ics one of tlie great directors of the country. Rubin Goldmark was vice president of the New York Phil harmonic society and outstanding figure in the eastern musical world. Skipping across the continent, Evans took a teaching position at Pomona college in California. Then .he decided that he wanted to toe a gun, dig trenches, build fences and get up at six in the morning for thirvt-odd dollars a month. In his wild chase after a khaki uniform he journeyed to various parts of the country; in the intervals between he taught. After his discharge from Camp Lewis lie returned to New York for another year under Ganz and Gold mark. Then he accepted his position on the Oregon campus as director of the glee club. Although there had been Oregon glee clubs before, there had been none immediately preceding Evans’ arrival here, owing to the exodus (if available men to the other side of the Atlantic. Without any foun dation whatever upon which to base an organization, lie began building a men’s glee club. Within nine weeks he took the group on a tour of the state, presenting it in a full two-hour concert. There were only sixteen voices suitable for use on that trip. There have been better concerts given than the first one, but on | the whole the singers performed The College Rendezvous opens this week on our mezzanine floor. We had to do it—we made so many friends among the Oregon men last Fall that we just had to provide something special for them hereafter. Come up this Spring vacation and see for yourself if we haven’t landed the real college style for this Spring. Here are three groups of suits that have all graduated from the School of Good Style. Mathis Standard Quality College Clothes Suits $30 to $45 And here’s the best of all Four Piece Golf Suits $3t: to $45 College Styles from the House of Kuppenheimer Suits $35 to $50 ’REET well, as press clippings of the time j show. Since then the glee club lias grown to its full membership of 20, with enough material available for a club of 50 voices if that number could be used. At times the club has been forced to use 24 singers, so good has the material been. For the sake of variety, iboth men’s and women's glee clubs have worked together some years and spe cialized in ensemble work. This was true last season when the group made a big hit in Portland with “The Highwayman,’’ a very diffi cult ensemble composition. Also for variety, the various clubs since the beginning of Evans’ regime changed types of music. Some of the groups have devoted their entire attention to the classics; others have worked modern ideas into their repertoires.
