Varsity Nine Loses 18 to 8 In Aggie Tilt Oregon Pitchers Not So Good; Gunther Walks 13 Aggies Coach Reinhart Uses Four Hurlers in Vain O. A. C. Pitcher Lets in 12 Webfoot Hits By DICK SYRING NOBODY can say that the Ore gon varsity baseball team is not a reciprocating aggregation. Last term the Ore gon Aggies de feated the Uni versity of Wash ington’s basket hall team, auto matically giving the Webfoots the ■northwest cham pionship. Yester day afternoon the Oregon varsity nine lost, not vol untarily, but by a 18 to 8 score, Jerry Gunther which throws the Beavers into a tie with the Washington Huskies for the championship of the western division of the northwest confer ence. The title series between the Aggies and Huskies will probably be played this week-end with a game at Corvallis, Friday, and sec ond in Seattle, Saturday. Coach Billy Reinhart used 15 of his picked athletes to win but it was to no avail. Four hurlers were sent to the mound only to have their offerings nicked for 14 hits. Freddy West, right hander, started the con test only to retire in favor of Jer ome Gunther who proved less ef fective. Before West’s retirement the Aggies had set on his pitchings for six runs. Three of these were made in the third canto when Scliul merich knocked a home run into center field with two men on. Gunther Walks 13 Jerry-on-the-job Gunther did not issue free passes to New Monia yes terday but to the Oregonian’s in itial sack. When the generous Mr. Gunther took up his burden in the third inning there were no outs. Be fore he retired the Aggie batsmen it required 38 pitches, 28 of which went as balls, 9 as strikes and one t<o a hit batter. Six men were walked in this canto and three runs forced in. During Mr. Gunther’s 38 pitches ■only once did an Aggie move the bat from his shoulder, Wes Schul merich fouled. Schulmerich and Ward struck out and Maple was thrown out at third on a steal. All told Gunther walked 13 men, struck out five, hit two and allowed five safe bingles. Lefty MacDonald took the mound at the beginning of the seventh but retired in the ninth in favor of Dave Epps. Epps, who has been playing left field, made his initial appearance in the box, didn’t do so bad. Save for a fluke home run in left field and two scratch hits, he -weathered the inning nicely. Webfoots Gamer in 12 Hits The Lemon-yellow nine garnered 12 hits from Dick Ford, Aggie liurl er, but could not make them count. In the second inning Dave Epps, first man up, drove out a triple but was not brought in. Cotter Gould led the Webfoots in hitting with three singles out of five trips to the plate. The Aggies started the scoring in the second inning when two singles and likewise the same num ber of errors gave the Corvallis team three counters. The third per iod proved to be an Aggie merry-go round. Schulmerich homed with two on and Jerry Gunther, who-re iieved West at this juncture, walked three men in. Oregon Scores in Third The Webfoots came to life in the third inning when Gunther doubled. Dutton singled and Gun ther scored when Schulmerich’s per fect peg to home was muffed by the Aggie receiver. Dutton scored on Ridings’ fielder’s choice. Four walks, a hit batsman and a single gave the visitors three more tallies in the fifth. The Web foots scored one in this canto when Jones got on through an error, then proceeded to second on another bobble and scored on Epps’ single. Two more walks, a double and single, gave O. A. C. three in the sixth. The locals retaliated with one in this inning when Woodie singled, went to second on Cloves’ (Continued on page four) EDITORIAL In Explanation IT is not the Emerald’s policy to take sides in student pol itics insofar as candidates for of fice are concerned. It is the Em erald’s right, and a duty to the students, to present definite in formation about the daily when it is concerned, especially at the present moment when facts are being garbled and functions mis represented. The students understand, we hope, that today’s election is not a contest between two university schools or between the school of journalism and the students at large. It lies between a member and a non-member of the Emerald staff. There is no other issue. • * * Members of the Emerald staff, on their own initiative and with out any editorial instigation, have taken a decided stand against the non-staff member. Their quarrel, as we understand it, is not one of personalities or schools. It is based on opposition to any move that would weaken the merit sys tem that has heretofore prevailed. These staff members, whose extra curricular activities center in cam pus journalistic work, are simply objecting to the election as their superior of one who has done no work at all on the daily. They do not believe that one who has had no experience on the Emerpld, has heretofore had no evident in terest in it, and has not worked his way to it should be given the editorship and the $600 salary at tached thereto. • * * We are sure this is their com plaint. There are now non-jour nalism students on the staff, and there always have been. To any one of these persons who shows sufficient merit the journalism stu dents on the Emerald could be counted to give their support. Their interest is not in school or department, but in experience and service with the newspaper. That other matters should have been read into the controversy is unfortunate. It should concern only the competence to fill a par ticular position, and so far as we know that is all the students are interested in. Just as any con trary opinions would be given voice, so has the Emerald permit ted the expression of the views held by those without whose wholehearted interest the Emer ald cannot succeed. We hope the students will take these views only in the spirit that was in tended NOTICE The Emerald is keeping out of print a report of a faculty mem ber’s effusion because of its like ly influence on student sentiment in today’s voting. Inasmuch as news of the un usual lecture has probably spread far already, this explanation of the omission is made. The article will be published tomorrow and will be accompan ied by editorial comment on its contents.

Report of fY’ Activities For Year is Given Campus Christian Work Officers Reelected At Meeting Students Will Attend Seabeck Conference Cabinet to Hold Final Gathering June 1 — ANNUAL report of the director of the United Christian Work on the campus, Rev. H. W. Davis, was given at the meeting of the board of directors Tuesday, May 17, at “Horizons,” the home of Mr. Davis on College crest. Officers for the past year were re-elected for the coming year. They are M. H. Douglass, president; E. Tliorstenburg, secretary; and Wal ter Myers, treasurer. Homer Rainey, having accepted a position as pres ident of Franklin college, offered his resignation as a member of the board. The last “Y” cabinet meeting of the year will probably be held Wed nesday noon, June 1, announced Mr. Davis. It will not meet again until a few days before school starts in the fall. The “Y” hut will remain open for the benefit of summer school students until August. Delegates to Seabeck Interest is centering at present on securing delegates to Seabeck, student conference to be held from June 11 to 20 at Seabeck, Washing ton. Nearly twenty delegates from Oregon will attend. Outstanding advances in the year’s work were cited by the di rector’s report. The Lutheran church has been added to the union of workers in the university. A hiking club with over forty mem bers has been formed, and has taken several trips to points of interest. Social events include the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. mix, held in the Woman’s building in January, and the Frosh mix, attended by over 100 newcomers. Several events were sponsored by the Cosmopolitan club, a Christmas party, banquet, and the circus, were among these. Brings Many Speakers Many speakers were brought to the university through the efforts of the United Christian workers during the year. Among them were Bruce Curry, Bishop Sumner, Har old Bowman, and Hugh Black. Four delegates, Joe Holaday, Bill Schulze, Christina Holt and Pauline Stewart, were sent to the National Student conference, held at Mil waukee. Deputations have also been sent to three nearby districts, and the committee has already made plans for trips next year. The annual State Y. M. C. A. Officers training conference was held at Eugene, in connection with the Bruce Curry Bible courses. Swimming Exhibition, Style Show, Stunts Put on by Amphibians A “Bored Walk,” “Hot Dawg Stand” with its striped awning; a beacon with a “Lighthouse Keep ing” sign on it, a mirrored ball with twinkling lights, and colored re flection of the water, made up the scene of the Atlantic City water carnival presented by the Amphi bian club last evening in the tank of the Woman’s building. Life saving in 1990, when the stalwart maiden takes her swain canoeing—both upset when he re pujses her advances; and she pulls him ashore, hoists him up on her shoulder, and carries him away— all this was demonstrated to the en thusiastic crowd. The style show, featuring bath ing “gals” all the way from Miss Seappoose with her elongated bloom ers, and Miss Junction City with her gay ’90 costume to Miss Portland wearing an outfit evidently belong ing to a fleshy friend, and Miss Hol lywood, who in her brief silk bath ing suit almost took the judge into the pool with her, was the high light of the evening. Scenes of a policeman on his beat, two ladies taking afternoon tea, a girl enjoying a siesta, a strolling couple under a parasol, and a danc ing girl, all on the water at the same time, were shown among the stunts. Strokes for form and speed, Red Cross life saving, diving, canoeing and formations made up the rest of the program. The Jantzen Knitting Mills of Portland furnished the costumes for the style show. To Beautify Corpses Is Convention Cry PLACING lilies on dead chests and choosing a casket that coincides with the corpse’s com plexion gets in your blood,—just like being an Emerald reporter, and you don’t want to stop. Judge for yourself. At a re- | cent Portland convention of a group of funeral directors from the state of Oregon, one of the most zealous of those present proposed that our University be endowed with enough funds to establish courses in the science of embalming and anatomy. If the proposal carries, all embalm ist enthusiasts who are now in the genius state because of not getting the proper training, will be enabled to get that training. Discontented souls who have been dying for courses in embalming, all the time they were forced to major in pre-law or English, will have the chance to express them selves in their natural bent, the “Art of Beautifying Corpses.” That is, if the proposal is re ceived favorably. Every day, in every way, our university is growing. . . . ‘Charm School’ Given By Sophomores at Guild Hall Last Night By J. J. O ’M. “The Charm School,” the old stand-by of high schools in pop ularity as a commencement play, was presented last night at Guild theater by the sophomore dramatic class in a style slightly above the prep school standard. It’s like comparing the scrubs with the varsity, to differentiate be tween the qualities of the senior company and the underclassmen. Uncertainty of poise with the re sultant self-consciousness, the ora torical delivery of linbs, which be ginners confuse with the finished technique of acting, might be the most drastic criticism to be made. The play, a three act comedy by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Mil ton, was well supplied with clever lines, but a predominance of em phasis placed on the accompanying business, left an impression of “slapstiekiness.” Frances Wardner and George Grimm gave, perhaps, the most fin ished performances. Miss Ward ner ’s appearance together with her stage presence lifted her above the others. Glenn Potts as Austin Bev ans, the leading man, had a role that allowed little latitude for an exhibition of any ability. New York Foundation To Give $50,000 for Articles on Wilson The Woodrow Wilson Foundation has just announced that they will give a cash prize of $25,000 to the man and woman who writes the best article on “What Woodrow Wilson Means to Me.” All people in the United States between the ages of 20 and 35 are eligible to enter the contest and the scheme of giving an individual prize to each man and woman win ner will likely induce more to enter than would participate if the prize was given in one lump sum. The purpose of the contest, according to a bulletin just published by the foundation, is “to bring to the young people of the United States a closer knowledge of tho ideals and prin ciples of Woodrow Wilson: the I ideals which, in his written and spoken words, he sought to express to the people of his own country and the world.” The articles will not be judged for their literary style as much as for the ideas presented. However, one caution is made against fulsome praise, analytical criticism, bio graphical sketches, and partisanship for or against the “Maker of His tory.” All articles will have to be at the office of the Woodrow Wilson Foun dation, in New York City, by Octo ber 1, 1927. Those wishing to par ticipate can get further information by writing to the foundation or re ferring to the bulletin board in the Journalism building or Commerce building.

Post Line-up Lists For Junior-Senior Breakfast, June 4 Lists announcing the line-up of the guests and hostesses for the an nual Junior-Senior breakfast, on Saturday, June 4, in the Woman’s building, are now posted in the li brary, Villard, and the bungalow. The breakfast is sponsored by the V. W. C. A., and the juniors act as hostesses to the seniors. To make the affair a success, it is necessary that any junior, who will be unable to take her guest, notify Miss Ma gowan or get a substitute to take her place. Also, seniors whose names were omitted from the list or any who cannot be present should call the bungalow. The line-up was made in alphabet ical order, and as there are more third year women than seniors, many juniors’ names do not appear. How ever, they may be called on for sub stitution if the appointed girl is unable to act as hostess. Women have been appointed in each living organization to handle the sale of tickets, which cost fifty cents and admit both the junior and her guest. Town girls may obtain their tickets at the bungalow. Shirley Maguire is general chair I man of the affair. Faculty Members to Speak at High Schools Victor P. Morris, assistant profes sor of economies, will deliver the commencement address at Umatilla high school Friday night, May 27. Tic will speak at Oreswell high j school, Thursday, June 2. Mr. Mor ris’s subject will he “How Do You Measure Yourselff” L. A. Wood, assistant professor of economics, will give the com mencement address at Dorena high school Friday evening on “Better Citizenship.’’ Trout Upset Dean’s Economic Theories \ T the same time that he is -^^-expounding economic the ories and discussing the prin ciples of money and banking. Dean “Jimmy” Gilbert is watch ing with an anxious eye the snow-blocked McKenzie Pass. Over the mountains in the foothills of the Cascades not far from Bend there are three lakes —Green, Elk, and Horse—to which Dean Gilbert has jour neyed several times during the past few summers. They are beautiful little glacial lakes sur rounded by pine trees, but that isn’t what attracts the economics head. The waters abound in eastern brook trout—trout that delight the hearts of all fisher men. “No, I don’t catch so very many fish,” Dr. Gilbert said. “Dean Robbins or Professor De Busk can catch more than I. All of the big ones get away from me, and I throw back the little ones, so you see I practice the principle of standardization in my fishing.” Last Assembly Of Year to Hear Dr. Ira B.
