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

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.

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.

Repertoire Week
Play Rehearsed
Productions Will Be Final
Drama Reunion
‘‘The Swan” cast went through
a smooth rehearsal yesterday after
noon, in anticipation of the coming
repertoire week when all of this
year’s plays will be presented.
There will be very few substitutions
made in the plays which are to be
given during repertoire week be
ginning April 9, most of the roles
remaining the same as they were in
the initial performance.
Approximately 115 drama students
will be presented during the stag
ing of the four plays and one an
thology which will constitute the
repertoire productions. Five seniors
who have been doing good work
this year will experience the pangs
of the ‘‘last play.” According to
Miss Wilbur, it will be the final
big reunion of the drama family.
Glenn Potts, Buth Street, Thelma
Parks, Constance Eoth and Cecil
Matson—all seniors—have had roles
in the various Guild theatre plays
for the past year or so. The consis
tent work and interest of students
such as these, with the guidance of
Miss Wilbur, has brought the drama
department out from the cobweb
coinor and has made it a depart
ment commanding the attention of
the campus and, with tho introduc
tion of the high school drama tour
nament, the state.
The new and old students of the
department will be brought together

if you ask me. What a treat it is, too.
Fragrant and inviting. Cool as a reprimand,
Comforting as a perfect alibi. Mellow and mild
