0 VOLUME XXIX. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 192S NUMBER 111 All Things Seem Smooth For Dream Follies Fifty-three Shotv Talent Of Great Variety For Tiventy-act Production If you think the job of organizing and directing a show with a cast of more than fifty members is an easy one, just try it some time. The pro cedure seems easy enough. First, the talent must be selected by an elimination process known as the survival of the fittest. Now all there remains to do is to rehearse and rehearse until the whole group is organized into a smoothly work ing unit. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Billy O ’Bryant has only lost about ten pounds of weight and torn out a number of perfectly good locks of hair accomplishing the feat. As far as minor details go, his worries are rot entirely over yet but he has proceeded sufficiently far to realize ^ that he has assembled a cast which cannot heip but make the show a success. At a rehearsal of the entire Fol lies last night in the Woman’s build ing, a good many of the rough spots that even showed up last Sunday had disappeared. The scenes are be ginning to blend in with each other mere harmoniously. When the time comes for the curtain to go up on the first performance next Friday night, the minor flaws which might occur on the first night should not be per ceptible to the audience. Twenty Scenes Promised The director has promised twenty or more scenes filled with enjoyment for young, old or indifferent. Taking part in the cast will be 53 tudents selected from the best talent the campus has to offer. Whether you prefer song, dance, dramatic art, hu morous skits or chorus girls,, you will not be disappointed with this varied program. Those taking part in the pony chorus are: Camille Burton, Bere | nice Butler, Dorris Pugsley, Frances White, Avis Hartson, Eleanor Look, Dorothy Burke, Mary Caniparoli, Phyllis Van Kimmell, Bonita Ticlie nor, and Edith Bader. Possibly there are choruses with more experience than this but it would be difficult to find one with more jazz and beauty represented in one groujf. In the Beauty Chorus Featured in the beauty chorus are: Ruth DeNeffe, Frances Simpkins, Edith Pearson, Dewey Baker, Alice Latture, Nancy Luckel, Myra Belle Plamer, Harriet Huglison, Virginia Moore, and Audrey Lyons. The en viable group of men who get to dance with these beauties are: Phil Holmes, Ed Walker, Johnny Ander son, Frances Mullins, George Jack son, Ralph Owens, A1 Boyden, John Konigshafer, Kenton Case, . Don Maginnis, Kenneth Potts, and Mar shall Hopkins. Jack Reynolds, Waiffe Hockett, Edith Pearson, Rodney Banks, Dewey Baker, Nancy Luckel, Vir ginia Moore, and Francis Mullins constitute the feature dancers. Everything from the varsity drag ^ and hula hula to classical dancing arc shown in the repertoire ;of this bunch. Many Short Skits In the many short skits and hu morous monologues we find Carl Forstrum, Rodney Banks,- Winston Lake, Frances Hare, Razz Asbury, Leonard Thomsen, Harriett Hawkins, Jack Reynolds, Madge Normile, Tommy Sandvall, and Marshall Hop kins. , Now to give the singers the “once over.” Madge Normile, who was one of the stars of the Junior Yo'd vil last year, will be featured again. Billy O’Bryant has written some blues songs that will take your breath away and Madge will inter pret these to the audience in typi cal fashion. If you want harmony just listen to the girls’ trig, for in stance, singing “Dancing Rythm.” Jo Ralston, Louise Storla and Mar jorie Clark are in this group. Nancy Tliielsen, Edward Fisher, Kenny Allen, and Don Ostrander are others who have prominent singing parts.

Lindbergh Flies To Airman’s Aid Relief Plane Pilot’s Life Hangs in Balance fBy United Preen) QUEBEC, April 24.—Colonel Clias. A. Lindbergh brought his army pur suit plane to rest on Quebec’s liis toiic plains of Abraham this eve ning, completing his flight from New York to bring serum to save the life of Eloyd Bennett. He circled pnee over the hospital and then made a landing on the Plains of Abraham nearby. Commander Richard \E. Byrd, an other of America’s premier aviators and a close friend of Bennett, heard the roar of Lindbergh’s motor and was ‘at the field to meet him. No sooner had the plane come to a landing than Thos. . B. Applegate of the Rockefeller foundation who ' flew with Lindbergh, stepped out of the rear cockpit and handed the market-basket, in which lie carried the serum, to Byrd. Byrd set off on a run for the hos pital, making allj the time possible in an'effort to save Bennett’s life. Lindbergh, looking serious as usual chatted only a moment with those who welcomed him. He asked at once for the latest lews of Bennif.’s conditions and was relieved when he was told that the patient’s condition was un changed since noon. Doctors and nurses were working ever Bennett this evening when they heard the roar of an airplane over head. They went to the windows and looked out into the darkening sky. Overhead an airplane was cir cling. Although they were not sure of it at the moment, it was Lind bergh, who had flown straight to his mark in«b little less than four hours. After circling over the hospital, ho made a landing on the plain. A crowd already had formed on the field. Lindbergh brought the machine to a dead stop just short of the crowd and jumped out. Physicians * attending Floyd Ben nett told the United Press that the patient's condition was still desper ate and “very, very grave.” It will be midnight or later, they said, be fore the serum brought here by Col onel Chas. A. Lindbergh can be in jected into Bennett’s veins. Lindbergh appeared soon after at the hospital and slipped in to a side door. A large crowd stood in the darkness outside the hospital, their interest divided between Lindbergh and the latest news of Bennett’s con dition.

Oregon, although seriously h a n d i - capped by the loss of dependable men, is conceded an even chance by Hayward to de feat the Beavers. The Oregonians will base their claims for victory chiefly on the strength of the entries in the shot put, high hurdle shuttle relay, mile relay, and, the distance medley. The four-mile relay team, which Hay ward was counting on for a certain first, has been shattered in strength by the loss of Hill and Beal. Both these men were injured in prelim inary training meets. Hurdlers Doped to Win The high hurdle shuttle relay, a new event for Oregon teams, is doped to take first place from the Aggies. Bill Crawford and Loyo McGee, let ttrmen from last year’s team, form the key for the combination, with Harold Kelly and either Vic Wetzel or 'Bill "Prendergast running third I and fourth. The Webfoots have power in the shot-put event, and should win easily. Vie Wet zel, Homer Dick son, George Stad elman, and George Stager, when teamed together, make a difficult crew to beat. Wot zel heaved the slfot over forty - five feet yesterday in practice, and Dick son made forty four in the donut meet last Saturday Vic Wetzel Chance for Win in Medley With a mixture of stars for the distance medley relay, Hayward be lieves that the Webfoots will have an excellent chance to win. The line up which Hayward has planned for this event includes Bill Prendergast, 220-yard dash; PhiV Livesley, 440 yard dash; Bill Overstreet, 880-yard run, and Jensen, three-quarter mile run. The mile relay is*the other event which the Oregonians are, expected to win. Joe Standard, letterman, and LaVerne Pearson are the vet erans forming a nucleus for this term. Buben Boss, who has Been working in the distance events, but has recently shown much promise in the quarter-mile, will probably run third. The fourth man will be se lected from Clare McKinnon, Arlen McCarty, Gordon Pefley, Baymond Ball, and Bosser Atkinson. Tryouts Today The men for the 440-yard and the 880-yard relay teams will be picked 1 h is afternoon following a tryout of all candidates. Prendergast, Kelly, McGee, Livesley, Hammond, Schaefer, Brown, Wetzel, and Buth erford are the possibilities for this event. The two-mile team will probably be composed of Ernest McKitrick, Buben Boss, Bob Overstreet, and Wade Butherford, and the four-mile team of Boy Gurnea, Jensen, Kuy . kcndall, and Bill Winters. Prender gast, Wetzel, Kelly, and Boss will run in the sprint relay. This race includes the .two 110-yard sprints, 220-vards, and the 440-yard dash. Warren D. Smith, head of the geo logy department, has added incentive to the work of the distance men by donating a cup to the man who shows the most improvement during the entire season. The cup will be presented for merits rather than for the number of points earned in meets. Smith was a distance man for the Webfooters years ago. Two Karook Indians, Mad Bull and Flying Cloud, will train here under the supervision of Bill Hay ward.
