Seven Sports On Donut List Baseball Leads the Field In Popularity; Two Track Meets Seven spring sports constitute tho schedule for the intramural league fair the coming ten weeks: tennis, baseball, track (relay carnival), track meet, golf, handball ladder tourney, and water polo. The last sport named, water polo, was in dulged in during last fall term, but henceforth and from now on it will be exclusively a spring exercise. In the spring the fancy of young and old turns to curves and homo runs. There may not be any Ty Cobbs or Babe Ruths running around loose on the campus, or if there were any such, “Billy” Reinhart would gather them into his fold, but who needs such celebrities to enjoy this great national pastime? Put One Over! Every living organization 1ms nine men who at one time or another prepared to walk in tho footsteps of Walter Johnson or Ray Sehalk, and whoso fingers itch to grab a bat and step up to the plate and smash one over tho left field fence. The donut diamond is waiting for such enthusiasts and practice should start at once to limber up the throwing appendages and sharpen the batting eye. Those who have a weakness for tennis competition will have their share in the annual inter-organiza tion doubles tournament. This tour nament will bo under the direction of Coach Abercrombie. Potential Tildens or pat ball artists, it makes no difference, are all urged to get in the game. Lots of Running Two big inter-organization compe titions in track are featured by Coach Hayward for this term, the relay carnival and the regular track and field meet. “Bill” will have somo future announcements to mako about the requirements for entrance. Need it be said that golf is no longer an old man’s game? There is no need to refer to Bobby Jones’ ago for every links is crowded with human beings considerably under middle age. Bob Giffen, golf .men tor, has not made any definite an nouncements concerning tho coming doubles tournament for organizations as yet, but they will bo broadcasted in tho near future. Tho handball ladder tourney is still with us and will remain stand ing for tho rest of tho year. Since tho upset a month or so ago tho ladder has remained practically stable. Bliss and Gawer occupy tho top rung .with Loslio and Reinhart hanging on the ground. Coach Edward F. Abercrombie has put tho sport of water polo into tho spring program because of its ex treme popularity last fall. It will remain a spring sport from now on. President Hall’s Book Praised by Magazine “Dynamic Americanism,” a vol ume written by President Arnold Bennett Ball, was warmly praised in a recent publication of tho maga zine “School.” It is characterized ns “tho most stimulating discussion of methods by which tho hearts of boys and girls may bo stirred so that they will become good citizens.” Tho mngazino states that it will discuss tho book at length in a later nrticlc. It was quoted in tho current issue in connection with an extensivo editorial on “Dynamic Americanism.” Tho magazine has a nation-wido circulation, and many friends of Dr. Ilall have congratu lated him on tho recognition his vol ume has received. Pledging Announcement Delta Gamma announces the pledging of Helen Katenbrink of San Francisco, California. Swim, If You Would Canoe, Says Faculty The mill race is being used ex tensively for canoeing with the ad vent of the spring season, and stu dents are asked to note the faculty ruling which permits only those who have passed a swimming test to canoe in the race' or Tiver. No student in the University is allowed to shoo tthe rapids in the Willamette river in a canoe, and every precaution is being taken to avoid any fatal accident such as marred last spring term. Cavemen Artists Drew To Foil Evil Spirits BERKELEY, Cal., March 28.— (By Science Service) — Prehistoric Americans, like the cave men of Europe, carved and painted pictures of animals and men to help them in working magic. - Thus may be explained many of the mysterious, gaily painted ani mals and crudely carved symbols found on the rocks where Indians onco lived, according to Julian II. Steward, anthropologist, of tho University, of California. Mr. Steward is making the first com prehensive study of tho ancient puzzle pictures on western rocks. Mountain sheep and other ani mals recognised in these prehistoric American art exhibits were most likely painted in connection with rites designed to make the herds of game animals increase, thus insur ing food for the people, Mr. Steward points out. Rome of the moon faced, angular human beings scratched on the rocks, are dancers in the cere monial rites, and others appear to be deities. Some of the designs were painted in conspicuous places on tho rocks as clan symbols such as are used by modern Pueblo Indians. And other pictures marked sites of water holes and other important spots, \it is believed. In Nevada and eastern California, an extremely puzzling typo of pic ture is found, consisting of angu lar designs, many of them elab orately draw-n. These are very ancient, judging from tho fact that they are sometimes found deeply buried beneath old mineral deposits. The wide variety of designs on the rocks is clear proof that tho In dians had no alphabet system, Mr. Steward concludes. New Building Will Be Erected for W. S. C WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, March 28.—(P.I.P.)—1Tenta tive plana for tho now Woman’s building on tlio W. S. C. campus liavo boon drafted by the Architec tural department.

Oregon Grad To Sing Here Arthur Johnson, ’23, Wins Favor as Soloist in Northwest States Arthur Johnson, tenor, who is be ing presented in concert at the First Congregational church today, is a graduate of the University of Oregon with the class of 1923. Johnson’s rise as a concert artist has been truly phenomenal during the past three years, although he has long been known as a singer of great talent. ■While in the University he was ii member of the' glee club and appeared with it as soloist during the entire time he was a member. He was tenor soloist at the church where he is being presented for nearly five years. He also directed the Springfield Methodist church choir for one year. Jolmson was very active in stu dent affairs while on the campus. He participated in do-nut, debate and basketball, served on several com mittees, was in charge of the only Y. M.-Y. W. mix that featured dan cing, carried the first Junior Vaude ville to completion, was a member cf the company and managed Guild theatro for one year. He is a mem bor of Phi Mu Alpha. Although he earned his entire way through college, chiefly as as sistant in the library and later as instructor in dramatic interpretation, Johnson maintained a very high standard in his class.work, being graduated with general honors and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation he spent one year in a logging camp and another in various business offices in Port land, but since January, 1925 has confined his activities solely to singing. It is not too muct to say that he has doubtless gone further in his chosen profession than any other Oregon graduate that has adopted music as a life work. In November 1925, Johnson an-i nouncoil himself ns a concert artist confining his appearances to the Pacific Northwest. It is significant that although many singers have attempted this procedure he is tho only one to succeed. Many people tried to dissuade him from the ef fort on the ground that nothing but disappointment could accrue, but the fact that since that date he has travelled well over 10,000 miles, entirely in tho northwest, and ap peared in tho following cities is proof of his success. Seattle, Spo kane, Bellingham, Port Angeles, Vancouver, Tacoma and Aberdeen in Washington; Billings, Bozeman, Hamilton, Lewistown, and Roundup in Montana; Albany, Ashland, Cor vallis, Eugene, Salem, The Dalles, Oregon City, Roseburg and Tilla mook in Oregon; and Vancouver, B. C., have all been on his itinerary. Some of them have heard him as many ns five times. In Portland he has sung on scores of programs. His press notices have been most laudatory, practically every man agement lias reengaged him, and the fact that ho is under the manage ment of Antonia Sawyer of New York City adds further indication of his outstanding position. An informal reception will be held for Mr. Johnson in the church par lors following the concert. Pledging Announcement Theta Chi announces the pledg ing of Arthur Rothrock of Pendle ton, Oregon.
