land -won tlio meet last year, but
reports froim Portland state that the
Democrats are not so formidable
this year. All eight of the Portland
schools are bringing teams to Eu
gene for the relays, and pre-season
records indicate that these teams
will carry back a number of the
trophies.
Intel-scholastic track has been
greatly stimulated during the last
year by the Oregon relay meet, and
it is the opinion of high school
coaches that their teams have shown
more desire for development and im
provement because of the possible
chance of attending the relays. For
several years previous interschol
astic, track activities had been on a
woeful decline, but now they are
on the upward trend again, and in
the opinion of sport authorities will
be back,on a superior basis in a few
years.
Two new events, one individual
and one for the team, lia-fe been
added to the meet this year. The
120-yard- shuttle low hurdles race is
one that is expected to furnish an
extra touch of excitement to the
races. The shot put has been added
to complete a list of fivo individual
events.
Twelve mips Keaay
Trophies will he presented to the
schools who send wining teams to
the relays. Twelve trophies and
cups have been donated by Eugene
and Portland business concerns as a
stimulant to schools entering the
meet.
The trophy for the quarter-mile
relay is donated by KORE, Eugene
broadcasting station. This race was
won last year by Jefferson high
school of Portland with a team com
pqsed of Woods, Brennan, Marrs,
and Lowry. None of these men are
re-entered this year. Lowry is run
ning for the Oregon freshman squad.

Seth Larawav, Eugene jeweler,
has presented the prize for the team
winning the two mile relay. Stone,
Schappert, Perkins, and Carlson,
Washington high, Portland, captured
this event in #1927 with a record
time of 8::i8.4.
TJie mile relay trophy is given by
the Eugene hotel management. Ben
son Tech of Portland placed first in
this race last year with a time of
3:39.8. The cup for the sprint med
ley relay is presented by McMorran
and Wasliburne, Eugene department
store. The winner of this race last
year was Jefferson high.

Myrtle Point broke the tape first in
1927. David Graham, proprietor of

Contrasts and Marked Phrasing
Chief Merits of Recital Soloists
By NAOMI M. GRANT
Careful phrasing and effective
■ contrasts were pleasing features of
■ the recital given last evening by
Arthur Hicks, pianist, and Richard
' Adam, tenor.
r Strongly marked and contrasting
phrases of the introductions to the
. Mozart “Fantasia,” the Chopin
i “Etude,” and the Rachmaninoff
! i “Serenade” gave an individuality
! to the solos of Mr. Hicks and won
' the close attention of the audience.
Clarity of the melody gave a charm
to Mozart’s simplicity of style. The
opening theme in faster tempo,
ushered in by bass octaves, was
[ characterized by considerable bril
liance and effective accelerandos.
In the first number of his second
■ group, the Chopin “Impromptu,”
■ Mr. Hicks maintained an undercur
- rent of impelling movement, in spite
s of the subdued trend of the selec
t tion, which gave an element of at
tractive subtlety. The accompani
o meat of tho Chopin Nocturne was
- well subordinated to tho beautiful
melody. Where the melody was
| carried by right hand chords the
tones achieved a velvet quality. The
mordendo of tho finale was one of
the most meritorious parts of the
program.
The final number of the group,
the Chopin “Etude,” after a delib
erate introduction, broke into a
brilliant passage with a suddenness
that surprised the audience. Tho
bass chords, as played by Mr. Ilicks,
produced a fateful effect in the
midst of the right hand filigree.
The abandon of tho opening, a
certain tantalizing freedom carried
throughout, and the delicacy of tho
ending made the Paul. Juon “Humor
esque” of Mr. Hick’s final group
one of the most enthusiastically re
ceived. The greatest delicacy was
shown in the prevailing calm, and
I the sweetly moderated dynamics of
! Debussy’s “La Fille Aux Cheveux
i de Lin,” while the octave progres
sion and tho final glissando of per
j petual motion were the apex of tech
I (Continued on page twoi
