Hawaiian Trip

Plenty of Competition

To Make Trip in 3i *
By RICHARD H. STRING \
Sports Editor <.
Nory impetus will be given tomo. ■
row to the already started negotia
tions for the proposed Hawaiian
baseball trip next
June for the Uni
versity of Oregon
nine. George H.
Godfrey, Univer
sity news director
and former man
aging editor of
tlie Hilo, Hawaii,
Tribune - Herald,
plans on sending
a cablegram to the
Islands. A letter
ui nu it
swer has been received. According
to Godfrey, who is taking charge
of all arrangements, a cable will lie
sent to .T. Ashman Bevan, sports
promoter on the Islands. Bevan, like
C. C. Pyle, of America, will promote
anything from a tiddle-wink match
to a trans-Pacific swim.
If the proposed plans go through,
Coach William (Billy) Reinhart and
II or 15 players will leave for the
Islands about the 15th of June.
There is plenty of competition in
Hawaii. With the nice weather,
baseball is played the year around.
A number of formidable horsehide
nines include the army nine of the
Scoffield Barracks, navy team at
Pearl Harbor, l!lk and Outrigger
club teams, all-Chinese and all-Jap
anese nines, leaders in the Ililo com
mercial league, Hilo Japanese per
formers and possible games on the
islands of Kaui and Maiji.
According to Coach Reinhart, so
much interest was shown in an
w American college baseball team two
years ago that the University of
California nine made expenses in
the first three games played. The
Golden Bear swatsters won 15 of
the 18 games on that trip. Reinhart
declares that the brand of ball play
ed on the Islands is much better
than the American semi-pro variety.
The University of Southern Cali
fornia baseball team will invade
Hawaii the latter part of May on
their way to Japan and Korea. With
the Trojans going on before, it
should serve to whet the Hawaiians’
appetite for American college base
ball.
Should the proposed baseball trip
be completed, the Oregon team will
probably leave via Los Angeles on
one of the Los Angeles Steamship
company’s boats'. Boats jef this
company go to Ililo. Leaving the
mainland at Los Angeles would give
the Webfoots a chance to schedule
several practice games before em
barking. Every little bit will help
in defraying the expenses.
T It hasn’t been since 1921 that an
1 Oicgon athletic team invaded the

Total of $100 Netted
At Women's League
Auction Yesterday
Gone- at $100!
Everything but a few battered
and torn coats passed over tho auc
i tion block on the steps of the old
library yesterday and netted a
‘otal of $100 for the foreign schol
- ’’ship fund of the Women’s League.
The cries of tho auctioneers of
£oi"£ at ton cents”—or some
„ * r insignificant price—could not
nheeded by co-eds and eds as
passed to and from classes,
nst had to take a chance at
S' something really worth
w) \r nearly nothing, whether
it an umbrella to shelter them
from the downpour ns they watched,
a compact, a fountain pen, or a
Fiji ring.
All that really matters, however,
is the fact that the auctioneers suc
ceeded in getting rid of everything
that could be used, with bids rang
ing from $3.50 'for an umbrella to
5 cents for two caps, and amount
ing to the significant sum of $100
in the end.
Mu Plii’s To Give

Annual Program Planned
With Great Care
Mu Phi Epsilon, national musical
honorary, has charge of the student
body assembly at eleven ,'o’clbck
tins morning.
Coming as its annual affair, their
program is generally looked forward
to with interest by all students and
lovers of music. Practice by the
organization is meticulously carried
out for days beforehand, and in
spite of the inevitable nervousness
of the players at the hour of per
formance, all such programs for the
student body _ have thus far been
well attended and warmly applaud
ed.
To all students with a knowledge
of music, the program will be sig
nificant:
A Viennese Waltz . Friedman
Helen Williams (piano)
A ve Marie . Schubert
Beatrice Wilder (violin)
A Morning in Spring .Matthews
A Brown Bird Singing .
.li. Hayden Wood
Clare McDonald (vocal solos)
Etude ..!. Chopin
Bernice Woodson (piano)
“Just Been Wonderin’”.,.
“The Green is on the Grass Again”
. Vocal Solos
Edythe Hopkins (accompanied by
John Stark Evans)
La Cinquintaine .Gabriel Marie
Iris Saunders (piano)
The first number will perhaps be
remembered as one of the original
compositions of Ignaz Friedman,
which he gave recently as an encore
at his student body recital, and
which was warmly applauded.
The entire program this morning
is selected with a great deal of
taste and variation, excluding any
of the heavier modernistic compo
sition, and is extremely considerate
of the musical likes of the students.
Technical Brilliance of Students
Impresses Listeners At Recital
Good Interpretation
Tempers Renditions
By NAOMI GRANT
In spite of the fact that the last
student recital of the term was
given at an inopportune time for
cramming students, the audience
lingered last night after the last
chords of Bernice Woodson’s bril
liant rendition of Schuman’s “Con
certo in A Minor.”
The fine tone of the chords in
the subdued measures, the -beauty
of the bass passage accompanied
- delicately on the organ by John
Stark Evans, and the co-ordination
of the two players throughout con
tributed to its favorable reception
by the audience.
Among the most popular numbers
on the program were the vio’in
solos played by Edward Best and
the Beethoven Sonata played by
Iris Saunders. In the rapid double
stopping of the Kreisler number
and the facile bowing and clear
harmonies of Von Go.en’s “Scherzo,”
Mr. Best displayed a technical bril
liance as well as depth of feeling in
the simpler melody passages. Good
phrasing, careful dynamics and
brilliance in right hand runs of
Miss Saunders’ playing merited the
applause of the audience.
Other instrumental (numbers o'n
the program were the popular Kreis
ler “Viennese Song,” played, by
Juanita Oskins, the Chopin Etudes
for the piano played with technical
brilliance tempered with delicacy of
tone by Bernice Nelrer, and two
Borowski organ numbers played by
Meltrude Coe.
The “Prelude” as played byMel
trude Coe impressed the audience
by its massive chords and agitated
passages. The “Toeatta” which
followed opened with a crashing
chord and then proceeded in the
rapid technique of the typical
toeatta with a background of
piquant notes, and ended in abrupt
chords.
Edna Ellen Bell’s vocal selections
were cliaraeteri*ed by pleasing in
terpretations of moods. Grieg’s
“Sunshine Song” with its underly
ing minor sadness achieved a touch
of happiness in the delicate ah’s of
the lighter passage. The Nevin num
ber was in contrast to the first num
ber, while “The Nightingale Has a
Lyre of Gold” wa£ sung in an
ecstatic manner.
Agnes Petzold’s interpretation of
Mozart’s “Voi Che Sapete” and
two German folk songs also won
favor with the audience. The re
frain of “Madle Ruc-k, Ruck, Ruck”
was particularly pleasing.
The accompaniments to the solos
as played by Barbara Edmunds con
tributed to the success of the solo
ists.

Duo to the charge being made
from coast to coast concerning over
prganizatfion of college and univer
sity eamjiuses, a committee for the
purpose of investigating all lionpr
ary organizations on the Oregon
campus was appointed by Donald
Beelar, president of A. S. U. O., at
the regular meeting of the student
council last night.
The students who will conduct
the investigation aro Wendell Gray,
chairman, Constance Both and Fran
cis Cherry. It is expected that a
report will be ready by the first
Wednesday in April, when the coun
cil will hold its first spring term
meeting.
It was pointed out by Mr. Beelar
that an organization which holds
regular meetings, is fulfilling its
designated function and is or ser
vice to the University, is not a fac

clubs or societies failing in their
function which will bo cancelled
