Voting Lists
Will Be Closed
April 17: Maddox
Democrat Ballots Will
Be Cast for Al Smith,
Reed or Walsh
By WILLIAM P. MADDOX
A few days only remain for those
laggards who have not yet enrolled
themselves as qualified voters for
the coming primary and general el
ections. The lists close April 17,
All those who will be twenty-one
on or before May 18th are eligible
to register.
This week also marks the closing
of the lists for candidates for local
state and national offices. Although
the official ballot is not yet ready,
it appears that Oregonians inscribed
as democrats wity have a chance to
express their preference for Gover
nor Al Smith, Senator Reed, of Mis
souri, or Senator Walsh, of Montana
It is believed that Herbert Hoovei
will be the only name to appear on
the Republican ticket and so will
be the choice of Oregon delegates
to the Kansas City convention.
For several past presidential cam
paigns, there have been instances ot
some practical joker taking advan
tage of Oregon’s electoral laws and
getting his name printed on the bal
lot for vice-president.
There being only one candidate,
this unknown person then received
the support of one or other of the
parties at the national conventions
Whether this has been done this yeai
is not yet known but the practice
points out a grave deficiency in the
state electoral laws. Efforts should
be made through legislation to al
low only the names of bona-fide
candidates to appear on the ballot
and this could be done in severa'
ways. Petitions with the names oi
a thousand voters might be re
quired; the candidate might be com
pelled to pay a registration fee suf
ficiently large to frighten away the
jokers; or the English system oi
demanding a money deposit, to be
Jeturned only if the canidate se
cures a certain percentage, say one
eighth, of the total votes, might be
used.

So far there have appeared in the
country only a very few men who are
avowed candidates for the vice
presidency. The truth is, no first
class man wants it, and this is noi
unnatural. When Governor Fuller
of Massachusetts, was askeel if he
would be a candidate fo^ that office
he laugliiflgly leplied that he could
n’t run for a position so unimpor
tant. And the office provides
neither power or duties of such con
sequence that a really able mar
will accept it. But the mortality
of presidents is rather high and urn
expectedly the vice-president may bt
elevated to the chief office of tin
land with considerable embarrass
ment to the nation.
A man, sometimes relatively an
known, hastily chosen by the party
convention in its closing moments
thus may enter the White House b3
way of Easy Street and once ther<
he is in a position to stay. Sound
common sense demands that the of
fice either be given power commen
surate with its dignity to attract
big men, or that it should be abol
islied entirely with an unfulfilled
presidential term to be completed
by someone designated by Congress
The Illinois election has passed
by in typical fashion. As someone
has suggested, Nicaraguan marines
should have been employed to sup
ervise the polls, for the record ir
Chicago does not sound well for £
nation supposedly civilized. The
country rejoices in the defeat ot
Big Bill Thompson, but it may nev
ertheless feel* concerned that the
highly ridiculous “down with Kinf
George” campaign should have

Cecil Gabriel New On Baseball
Squad; Will Be Valuable Catcher
By DICK STRING
A large part of every pitcher’s
success is due to the ability of his
catcher, and in the person of Cecil
Gabriel, sophomore candidate for
the backstop position, Oregon pitch
ers have a most valuable assistant.
Cecil made his numeral at this posi
tion last year, and should earn his
varsity letter this season. He also
played half-back with the frosh
eleven last year, winning a numeral
in that sport.
Gabriel comes from Washington
High of Portland, where he was
prominent in football, baseball, and
track. He played three seasons
with the gridiron squad under Coach
Elden Jenne, making the Portland
all-star eleven each year. Washing
ton won the league championship in
this sport during Gabriel’s junior
year, defeating the runner-up, Jef
ferson High, in a close contest. Cecil
caught for the baseball team during
his last three years at Washington,
and in his senior season was chosen
as a member cf the all-star nine for
that year. In track Gabriel was a
mainstay in the sprints and weight
events. •
“Cec” is nineteen years old and
is a member of Kappa Sigma fra
ternity. He weighs about 190 pounds
and is 5 feet 10 inches in height.
Undoubtedly an excellent prospect
as a catcher during the next two
years, Gabriel should also have a
brilliant initial season with this
year’s varsity.
Safe Landing
Reported For
Bremen Plane
Transatlantic Flyers Are
Forced To Land on
Labrador Coast
Message Sent by Radio
Brings Friday Night
News From Men •
(By United Press)
ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 1.3.—
Word came out of tlie frozen Labra
dor land tonight telling of the safe
landing of the German airplane
Bremen on Greenly Island in the
Strait Belle Isle.
A brief message, relayed from one
small radio station to.another until
it finally reached St. Johns, was
the only new3 of the three flyers
who left Ireland at daybreak Thurs
day to attempt the West crossing
by air of the North Atlantic ocean.
This short message, however, was
enough to tell that the Bremen had
conquered southeast winds, laden
wijji snow, as it approached New
foundland, and was finally forced
down on Greenly Island, which is a
little more than a dot on the map,
almost uninhabited.
Flyers Land Unhurt
The plane was said to have been
damaged in the landing which took
place about noon, Newfoundland
time, but the flyers themselves were
unhurt and finally made their way
to a point where they eould get
word of their safety out to a world
which had all but given them up.
They had failed in their purpose
of flying to New York, but they
had crossed the Atlantic from East
to West, and their names—Herman
Koehl, German war ace, and chief
pilot; Baron Gunther von Huene
leld, backer of the flight; and Col
onel James Fitzinaurice of the Irish
Free State airport—will go down
as the first to have made a west
ward crossing of the Atlantic.
The radio message told nothing
r.f how the three flyers were cared
for beyond saying they were in
‘comfortable quarters’ and ft was
taken from that statement that they
were housed either by the Greenly
Island lighthouse keeper or at the
Point Amour radio station.
Country Difficult to Beach
Only two methods of reaching the
outside world are feasible at this
time of the year from the Point
Amour region. One would be by
clog sled, a long, tedious .-journey
ending at Quebec or some town not
far to the north of that city. The
other would be by airplane. If their
plane is damaged it would be neces
sary to send a plane or planes in
from some outside point to bring
them out by that method.
QUEBEC, Quebec, April 13.—The
provincial government of Quebec to
night made tentative plans to send
an airplane to the relief of the
three aviators who were forced to
land today at or on Greenly Island,
Labrador.
It was said that as soon as defi
nite details of the condition of the
Bremen and the possibility for fly
ing in Labrador are received a re
lief plane probably will be sent.
NEW YORK, April 13—Lack of
fuel was the underlying cause of the
forced landing of the Bremen at
Greenly Island, Baron von Huene
feld wired a wireless general, Man
ager II. Schoengel, of the North
German Lloyd line tonight.
The message was relayed from
Greenly Island through a chain of
radio stations until it finally reached
N. Y. It said:
“Made safe intermediate landing
on Greenly Island, Straits of Belle
Isle, necessitated by lack of fuel
caused by strong head winds and
fog. ’ ’

'Beyond The Horizt
Portrayed Fridi
By ALICE GORMAN'
To criticize such a production as
last night’s performance of Eugene
O’Neil’s “Beyond the Horizon’’ is
exceedingly difficult. So much can
be said in favor of it, but it had
weak spots, too. No one but Miss
Wilbur would have had the cou
rageous audacity to undertake the
coaching of such a morbid drama. It
belongs to the professional field and
yet the Guild Hall Players did un
dertake it and made it a success.
It is the biggest thing that they
have done and this play above all
others has established for us Miss
Constance Roth’s justifiable reputa
tion as a young actress of genius
(our highest compliment). Miss Roth
lives on the stage the paTt she is
portraying. Not once does she drop
out of her character. It is the
mark of no inferior artist when an
actress of such personal charm as
Miss' Roth can bring her audience to
loathe and despise her, and this is
just the thing that slio has done.
There was not the opportunity for
such intense acting in Lawrenco
Shaw’s part as Robert Mayo—most
of all it demanded a natural por
trayal except in the last act and Mr.
Shaw measurod up to the part of the
dying consumptive admirably.
Although Miss Roth’s and Mr.
Shaw’s portrayals were unquestion
ably the outstanding ones of the
evening’s performance, there were
a number of others who deserve
especial praise. Cecil Matson as
Andrew Mayo, brother to Robert,
‘Dream Follies’
Will Make Trip
Junior Vodvil To Perform
In Portland May 4
Definite arrangements have been
made to take the entire cast of the
‘Dream Follies’ to Portland where
two performances
will be given at |
the Publie Audi
torium May 4 andi
5, according to
Billy O ’Bryant,
chairman of the
shpw, which is. an
event of the an
nual Junior Week
end.
This will be the
i first time in the
history of the
Billy O ’Bryant
Junior Yodvil that.the' entire stun*
has boon presented to a Portland
audience. Last year several fea
tures of Creole Moon were given
at a Portland theatre but. most of
the cast did not mahe the trip.
George McMurphCy and his Kol
lcgo Knights, who will provido the
music for the show here, has beon
engaged to accompany the ‘Follies’
on their trip. The program pre
sented will be the same as the one
given in Eugene.
To assure the suedess of the un
dertaking, Portland alumni have
pledged their cooperation and sup
port to the University. Many of
them remember the success of last
year’s show and are eagerly looking
forward to the ‘Dream Follies,’
which has been predicted to be even
better.
The ticket sale will begin at Sher
man-Clay Music Co. May 3. Two
performances will be given, one the
night of May 4 and a matinee per
formance the following afternoon.
The auditorium will be in use Sat
urday night so the troupe will prob
ably return to’ the campus late Sat
urday night or Sunday.
Edward D. McAlister
Elected to Sigma Xi
Edward D. McAllister, recently
appointed assistant professor of
physie| and mathematics at the Uni
versity of Oregon, has been elected
to active membership in Sigma Xi
at the University of California,
where he is finishing his work for
the doctor’s degree in physics.
Mr. McAllister was elected to as
sociate membership in the Oregon
chapter during his residence as a
student at the University. McAl
ister is expected to spend the sum
mer in Eugene, arriving about the
middle of May.
Oregon Swimmers To
Participate in Meet
Four University of Oregon swim
mers will be seen in action tonight
at the Oregon state championships
sponsored by Multnomah club. Tho
quartet who left yesterday with
Coach Edward F. Abercrombie were
Johnny Anderson, Chet Floyd, Char
les Silverman and John Creech.
m9 Brilliantly
ly at Guild Theatre
achieved a very laudable interpre
tation of the man who made a
greater failure than Robert because
ho sunk to gambling in the thing
he had formerly created. Mr. Mat
son is better suited to happy char
acterizations than tragic, we believe,
however.
Gordon Stearns played the char
acter-parts of Captain Dick Scott in
an incomparable manner thoroughly
typical of many an old sea captain
wedded to his ship and his oaths. He
clicked every time with his audience
relieving them of the tenseness in
laughter.
Still another outstanding charac
terization was in Mrs. Edna Assen
lieimer’s interpretation of Mrs. At
kins, Ruth’s widowed mother. Her
high-pitched voice, full of self-pity,
gained her the thorough disgust of
her audience, which is a dramatic if
not a social achievement. Doralis
Mayo as Kao Mayo made a very
good farmer’s wife of tho non
descript, colorless variety, too often
found in life. There was splendid
opportunity for powerful acting in
Gordon Peflv’s part as James Mayo,
but Mr. Pefly did not succeed in
feeling his part. It was “acted”
here and there. Arthur Anderson
and Glenn Totts both had minor
parts rather well done—even the
child, Ardine Blair, did well. The
play ended at the highest pitch of
morbid and dramatic intensity, with
a damning curse on Ruth from Andy.
Tho audienco was deeply affected—
and satisfied.
Prominent Campus
Journalist Receives
Impressive Honor
Speaking of modern fairy tales
Joe Pigney takes tho chocolato cov
ered gingersnap. Why; even Cin
derella or the Sleeping Beauty would
feel tamo compared with his rapid
advances in tho journalistic field!
Now, Joe may bo a sophomore
major in journalism, but even at
that he was a trifle abashed by this
sudden leap to fame in his future
profession.
Fairy tales aro nice while they
last. Joe’s was, and though his edi
torship is ended, like tho popular
ballad, the memory lingers on. You
see it was this way. Joo was doing
a term paper for a course in report
ing, and had to do some work for
the Guard, part of his duty being to
write to several news sources over
the country. Joo must have been
the author of some very convincing
material. At any rate the Univer
sity of Michigan authorities were so
impressed that they felt certain Mr.
Pigney must be at least the editor—
hence the very elating but rather
erroneous address — Eugene Daily
Guard, Joe Pigney, editor.
Blind Student Wins
Research Fellowship
Thomas Cutsforth, instructor in
psychology at the University and
well known for his work in
psychology of the blind, has
been recently awarded the So
cial Science Research Council fel
lowship and will go to Boston next
fall to study and do research work.
Himself afflicted, ho has taken spe
cial interest in tho problem of so
cial and economic adjustment of tho
blind. He has published several
articles in collaboration with Dr.
Whellcr and has done extensive re
search in Eidetic imagery.
During spring vacation ho visited
the state school for the blind at
Salem and tried some of his test
theories on the students there. Ho
also plans to visit the Washington
school.
He has had teaching experience,
having taught in high school for a
year, and will also teach the Uni
versity summer school.
Tom, as he is popularly called, is
i well known on the campus, and as
well as being a specialist in his own
field has time for many other inter
ests. He is especially fond of his
tory and is quite a student along
that line.
Book To Be Released
From Press by May 15
“An Outline of Physics,” a phy
sics textbook which was written by
Dr. A. E. Caswell last summer and
fall, will be released from press on
I May 15, according to an announce
ment made by tho publishing com
I pany this week in “Science.”
Dr. Caswell is now correcting the

j the first of next week.
W'ebfoot Trackmen
To Compete Today
On Hayward Field
The Wobfoot. track tennis will
officially open flip 19'2S season this
afternoon on Hayward field at
1 :i!0. Thp meet, which will include
all varsity and freshmen candidates,
is to give Bill Hayward knowledge
of the possible strength of the Ore
gonians for this year.
The meet was originally planned
ns an biter-class affair, but lack of
material to fit out four full teams
necessitated the change. Most of
the races will be run with the var
sity and freshman squads compet
ing independently of each other.
The field events, distance races,
and the finals in the sprints will be
competitive, and with the prospects
of a warm day, Hayward expects
some good results.
Annual Smoker
Set for Tonight
Campus Male Population
Waiting for Gong
Boxing, wrestling, cock-fights,
hula dances, and a big feed are aft
on the program of the all-college
men’s smoker that is scheduled to
start tonight at eight o ’clock, ac
cording to George Stadclman, who
is chairman of the affair. “We men
are not planning to miss anything
at all when we miss the April IVol
ic,” he declared last night.
Music by the special smoker or
chestra, will open the entertainment,
and will bo followed by a feature
hula dance, which according to ad
vance notices, has never failed to
bring down the house. Mmlo Kolio
muka, the dancer, lias consented to
step over in Eugene just long enough
to complete this one performance.
Ten campus boxers wound up their
several weeks of intensive training
last night, and every one declared
bimself in fine shape, waiting for tho
gong, and confident of victory.
These matches are to bo scattered
throughout the program, and each
promises to bo a knock-down, drag
out affair.
Harrington vs. Wade, and Patton
vs. Wright are to satisfy those who
crave the sight of heavyweight ac
tion, while the Knox-Mesi, Riggs
Johnson bouts are bnllyhooed as be
ing exhibitions of the noble art of
self protection insofar as scienco
is a factor.
Tho tubbing contest between tho
student body officers and members
of the football team is a new fea
ture, and thoso who have seen this
before are enthusiastic in approval
of the entertaining possibilities.
Beelar, West, Davis, and Hubbs
form tho quartet of officers who
are to combat the athletes in this
event.
The battle royals need no intro
duction to smoker fans on this cam
pus. Last year’s gory affair will
not. soon be forgotten by those who
were here a year ago. Each frater
nity is to bo represented in these
struggles, and judging from the en
tries received to date, he who stands
longest, may well call himself cham
pion. Tho following will crawl
through the ropes in this event: Col
bert, Beta; Rngain, S. P. E.; Hall,
Sigma Hu; West, Phi Delt; Park,
8. A. E.; Douglas, Kappa Sigma;
and Averill. Several more entries
are expected.
The light-weight battel royal will
find Johnson, Reed, Horner, Blaek
burne, C’aples, and King, each intent
en brining honor home to the old
clan.

Campus Sleeps While Emerald
Pressman Works on Daily Paper
Brrrrrrrrr!
What rends the nocturnal silence!
To the casual passerby, if such
bo abroad at the unholy hour of 2
a. m., it is only another alarm clock.
But to tho Emerald pressman, that
obscure and uncrowned hero of tho
still watches of tho night, it is tho
call to forsake ,the gontlo arms of
Morpheus and journey to tho Uni
versity printing plant, where tho
campus paper is printed.
Thero weary printers and night
editors have been toiling for many
hours at the labor of setting tho type
and making up the paper.
The pressman places tho completed
type forms on the press, turns on
the juice, and the big Goss press gets
under way with rapidly accelerating
speed.
While this groat product of man’s
ingenuity is grinding out the Em
erald, the pressman explains to the
reporter some of the intricacies of
its operation.
“Do you see that bar working
back and forth in there? That is
the equalizer. It causes the paper
to feed into the press continuously
and to feed out and into the folder
continuously while allowing it to
stop in the printing area for an im
pression to bo made. Simple, isn’t
it?”
“How fast will it go?” asks the
boy, to change the subject.
“Thirty-five hundred copies an
hour.”
“How many papers do you print
each morning?”
“Yes.”
“I say, how many papers do you
print every morning?” shouted the
what-do-you-call-it, raising his voice
to make himself heard above the
noise of the press.
“Camels,” said tho pressman, of
fering the child a cigarette.
“Good night,” said the youngster,
on his way out the door.
