V EMERALD AMENDMENT KILLED 9 0 f o; Donald Beelar New President of Associated Students Varsity Nine Off Tonight For Seattle Husky Squad to be Met in Two Game Series This Week-end Reinhart Spends Time On Pitchers in Practice' Injuries Affect Throwing Ability of Flingers ,rf''lOACH Billy Reinhart, 14 var sitv baseball players and Har old Brumfield, manager, leave to night at 7:15 for Seattle where the Lemon-Yellow meets the University of Washington Huskies in a two game series, Friday and Saturday. The Puget Sou^d games mark the varsity's second conference series. Last night’s practice consisted mainly of trying out pitchers. Rein hart had fiinger after flinger on the mound, each heaving to the varsity swingers. Bill Baker is the only pitcher who has shown much stuff to date. Freddy West, who Reinhart figured quite extensively on at the beginning of the season, is suffering from an infected shoulder muscle. He is making the trip and should the shoulder respond to treatment by that time, the little right hander will start Saturday’s fracas. Search for Hurler Jerry Gunther, the latest try in the box, will accompany the team north. Gunther worked out last night, but has been taking it too ■strenuously the past few days, and is bothered with a sore elbow. Dave Epps is also a new comer on the mound, and according to Reinhart last night, the big left fielder may get a chance to perform on the hil lock. Epps has quite an assortment of curves, but has had little chuck ing experience. For southpaw hurling, Reinhart will depend on Lefty Macdonald and Art Schoeni. Macdonald worked in several of the pre-conference games, but is troubled with a lack of control. Schoeni has done little throwing thus far, as an injured back has kept him from the mound. In case West’s shoulder is not im proved Schoeni will start the sec ond game. Baker to Start Bill Baker will assume the pitch ing burden in Friday’s game and should make it interesting for the northerners. Baker scored a win (Continued on page four) Excursion to Newport Planned by Scientists For April 30 and May 1 An excursion to Newport under the auspices of the departments of geology and biology for members of the faculty and student body' who may be interested is planned for April 30 and May 1.

Smith’s New Book on Comedy Now Completed Ten Chapters Devoted To Study of Social Idea in Comedy “As for the English comedy, it is furtherest from my intent to deny it an independent life, gay, viva cious, full of caprice, and follow ing its own bent apart from all his tory outside its own. But I want here to find out how far, since 1860, it has been like the play going on upon the ‘Great Stage of the World,’ as Calderon called his best morality,” says S. Stephenson Smith, assistant professor of Eng lish, in his recently-completed book, “The Social Idea in Comedy, 1860 to 1920.” “As sixteenth century comedy came from the tavern and the uni versity, restoration- comedy from the court and the boudoir, eigh teenth century comedy from the drawing-room and the country house; so the Victorian comedy emerged from the clubs, to be promptly impounded by the ladies, and endowed with the proprieties, the etiquette, and the decorous ro manticism of the tea-table. Against this influence, slightly dampening to the spirits of high comedy, the writ ers were to struggle in vain, even when they adopted French farce; until in the late nineties Thalia was shown into still stranger com pany by George Bernard Shaw,” the author explains. One of the ten chapters is de voted to Shaw, in which he is com pared to Don Quixote, with Sidney Webb for his Sancho Panza. “And he has not slashed at the winesacks, fought with Biscayan monks such as Max Nordau the pessimist and (Continued on page four) Dr. Smith to Relate Philippine Experiences An illustrated lecture on Spanish influence in the Philippines will be given by Dr. Warren D.
