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

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

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.
The present Oregon glee club has
chosen the widest field of perfor
