4 Ten Events Listed on Athletic Program of Week Ken Rohie Stars During Recent Willamette University Series By RICHARD H. STRING Sports Editor : Nearly every form of endeavor included in the University of Ore gon’s athletic repertory will come into its own this week. Ten events are s c h e d u 1 ed, ranging from varsity baseball games, freshman ball tilts, to relay meets and a golf and tennis match. Today the Web foot baseball nine faces the Aggies ia Corvallis! On Thursday the freshman relay Bill Reinhart ^ team will journey to the O. S. C. campus for a meet with the Orange and Black young sters. While the yearling tracksters are away, the freshman baseball team will cross bats with the Salem high school aggregation on Beinliart diamond at 3:30. Friday afternoon finds the Oregon varsity at home entertaining the University of Washington baseball players at 3:30. A similar form of entertain ment will be dished out on the local diamond Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Friday afternoon will find Coach Earl (Spike) Leslie and his hard hitting freshman baseball team in Monmouth for a two-game series with the Normal school of that place. The second tilt will be ployed Saturday. The Eugene Country Club will also be the scene of competition when the Lemon - yellow golfers meet the Washington Huskies, Sat urday afternoon. _ Changing the scene to Seattle, Coach Bill Hayward and a select group of relay men will be entered in the annual University of Wash ington relay carnival Saturday afternoon. Not to be counted out, Coach Ed F. Abercrombie and five tennis players will be in the Puget Sound city for a match with the Huskies. Coach Bill Beinliart and his fence busting Oregon baseball nine will meet today* what was at first thought to be an easy Oregon Aggie baseball team. But as a matter of fact, the Orangemen are much stronger than previously supposed. Playing their first conference game in Seattle last Friday, three Husky pitchers failed to stem the O. S. C. batting attack. Crashing out seven teen bingles the Aggies won, 13 to 3. The second contest was dropped to Coach Tubby Graves’ men, 5 to 4. Coach Coleman of the Aggies has been experiencing the same diffi culty that Beinhart had last spring —lack of capable liurlers. Bill Cloyes, varsity initial sacker last ^ year, has been transformed into a pitcher and this position seems to be to his liking. He is credited with the win over Washington. Harvey Boultingliouse, Art Bjontegard, Mil liard Bostock and Balph Hudson round out the rest of Coleman’s chuekers. Another bit of hard luck in the Aggie baseball camp is the inability of Captain Bern Hafenfeld to play. The scrappy second sacker has had his right leg in a cast since the sea son opened because of a bad knee, and it is expected that he will^te out for the season. • * » The Oregon baseball nine demon strated one thing against their two game series with Willamette last week-end and that is the ability to hit. With little outdoor hitting practice and playing on compara tively cloudy days, the Webfoots crashed out 13 hits for each game. With this dynamite in their bats to move the players around the bags, Oregon’s varsity nine should experi ence little difficulty this season. Probably the most outstanding in dividual performance during the series was the work of Ken Robie, varsity shortpatcher. Last Friday saw him play his first time on the varsity, being a member of the 1927 yearling team. He is the fastest fielder in the infield. In the first Willamette game he speared a drive behind second that looked like a safe hit in the ninth inning. Al ready he promises to be one #f Rein hart’s heavy batsmen. lie garnered two hits in the first Bearcat tilt and made it four straight in the second. Robie is not a novice at baseball. He comes from a baseball family. Last year his brother was captain of the University of California nine. American Teachers Charged With Forcing Religious Instruction (By United Press) BROUSSA, Turkey, April 30 — Three American school teachers, graduate; Miss .Tennie Wilson of Smith Lucille Day, an Oberlin College Boston and Miss Edith Sanderson of Berkeley, California, each were sen d. fi tia tioi corn T1 appe, the t serve l here today to three daj’s’ lament and a fine of $1.50 on re of disseminating religious nda. ^ rial was held last Wednes J three women being speci mrged with teaching Chris ■ Turkish women in viola ic national laws of the \11 pleaded not guilty. 'e at the trial, who has show sympathy toward omen, allowed them to uison sentences in their room. He _..*ed, however, that the charges had been proved and that it had been clearly shown at the trial that students had been forced to read prayers and to propogate religion contrary to educational reg ulations prohibiting religious teach ing. Oratorio Society To Stage ‘Elijah’ Huge Chorus Will Support Artists, May 2-3 Mendelssohn's majestic oratorio, “Elijah,” one of the most stupen dous productions of its kind ever staged, is to he presented to Eugene Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week, May 2 and 3, by the Eu gene Oratorio Society of more than 200 voices. It is organized and di rected by John Stark Evans and will be given in the auditorium of the music building at 8 o’clock. Mr. Evans has been working for months with his 200 voices to bring them to a degree of unison and per fection. He also engaged four of the finest soloists to bo had: Rollin Pease, baritone; Franklin Hiker, tenor; Jennie Johnson, contralto, and Jane Burns, soprano. Rollin Pease is perhaps America’s greatest interpreter of the title role of the Prophet Elijah and has won fame in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and many other prominent music centers as an Elijah such as Mendelssohn himself must have con ceived of when he wrote the scenes between the prophet and the mighty “Lord God of Abraham” or the priests of Baal. The effects are terrific in their strength and tri umph, according to Mr. Evans. Jennie Johnson coached work in “Elijah” in London with Herbert Walker. He is a famous Elijah, who, as a boy of 12, sang in the first production of this great oratorio under Felix Mendelssohn himself. Franklin Riker, dramatic tenor, has a nation-wide reputation. Ho has sung in most all the cities of America. Jane Burns, soprano, is one of Portland’s favorite concert singers. She has just returned from two years’ study in New York. With these four competent art ists, an expertly trained chorus, and a director of John Stark Evans’ ability, the success of Elijah is pre dicted by music staff members. Willamette Carnival Has Many Clever Costumes WILLAMETTE COLLEGE, Sa lem, April 30.—(PIP).—Daring freshmen who appeared as Spanish caveliers, Russian slave drivers or Ipirates, towels, and gunny sacks forced into the realm of fashion, a faculty lady with flaxon curls and a Dutch costume, and even the Hunch Back of Notre Dame were among the eo-eds who attended the Co-ed carnival at Willamette College which was held last Wednesday. Reed College Head To Teach Summer Class Dr. Norman F. Coleman, president ef Reed college, will take the place of Dr. William Foster, Newton, Mass., in the Eugene summer faculty. He will lecture in two educational courses in Eugene, July 9 to 13 in clusive. William P. Maddox Speaks at Luncheon William P. Maddox ^of the po litical science department spoke at a luncheon held Saturday afternoon by the American Association of Uni versity Women. The subject was “American Policy for the Preven tion of War.” Board Named For A.S.U. O. Election Day Polls Open From 9 a. m. To 3 p. in.; Counting To Start at 3 Proposed Amendments Fail To Arouse Comment; All Favored By CHARLES B. BOICE A. S. U. O. elections will be held tomorrow. Polls will be open from 9 a. m. to 3 p. in. on the main floor in Villard hall. The election board has been appointed and all will bo in readiness for the election Wed nesday morning. Toting will cease promptly at 3 o ’clock and counting or the ballots will begin. The first results of the counting will be post ed at 4 o’clock at Villard hall and every hour thereafter new counts will be put up. In every living organization on the campus political meetings havo been or will be held before tomor row morning and the houses will with but very few exceptions defi nitely line up with one ticket, ortho other. Almost reaction whatever is no ticeable in regard to the proposed amendments to the A. S. U. O. con stitution and by-laws. As one per son put it when questioned about the proposed changes, “Tlioy are all innocuous enough to deserve the support of the student body.”! There are no big issues at stake.' Two oif the amendments merely ' bringing the constitution up to con form with the way the business is being handled at the present time. Cue amendment creates a lecturo fund, which most students think is a fine thing to do. The fourth one leaves the setting of awards to a committee and the students seem to think that is another good idea. Voting Rules Stressed EJerbcrt Socolofsky, vice-president of the student body, wishes to em phasize Sections 7 and 9 of Article III of the constitution regarding vot ing.

It was not speeders, however, but four uniformed cops who were officially ushering a parade of the California Redwood Empire association into Eugene. They came and kept on coming, more than a score of ears, and nine ty-five people. Cars plastered with pictures of redwoods, banners, pen nants, flags, almost all proudly bear ing the name of the driver’s native town, Eureka, Fresno,' Sacramento. Each took his turn at the corner of the Lemon O, sending a generous splash of water over his mudguards as each balloon tire hit the puddle where the street car tracks were taken out recently. One man frowned—his car had been all clean and shiny. Another grinned, thinking perhaps of the roasting ho would give Oregon's climate when he got back home. And all of them filed on, en masse, in their tour of Eugene, which had to ie completed by 12:10, when the en tire Pacific coast caravan were to have luncheon at the Eugene hotel, sponsored by the Eugene chamber of commerce. Drama Tourney Is On This Week Four High Schools Enter One-act Plays Plans for the second drama tourn ament May 3 and 4 aro taking defi nite form as rehearsals for “Shall We Join the Ladies?” continue and as drama students make arrange ments for the four high school plays and a drama luncheon to be given this week-end. Four high schools, Roseburg, En terprise, Mills City/ and Eugene, have entered the contest and will vie for the cup which is presented to the school producing the best one act play. Last year the cup, which is awarded by the Guild theatre players, was won by Roseburg. Mrs. Kathleen Clark of Grants Pass, Mrs. Elizabeth Kerr Day of Portland, and H. C. Kohler of Salem wTill act as judges Thursday and Friday evenings when the one-act plays are produced. Following the luncheon, which is to be given Friday for all the guests and drama students, the Guild thea tre players will stage Sir James M. Barrie’s play, “Shall We Join the Ladies?” For the past week rehearsals have been intensive. Miss Florence Wil bur, director of drama, in selecting this one-act play has chosen one which is difficult to obtain and is seldom produced. The afternoon play will be an in vitational affair, but the evening performances will be open to the public with a small admission fee. “The Locked Chest,” by John Masefield, has been chosen by the Roseburg students. Eugene high school will stage “Two Crooks and a Lady” by Eugene Pillop, and a translation from a Mexican play will provido variation when Mill City high produces “Maria Cotita.” Tho fourth play, to be presented by the Enterprise students, is “The Purple Dream” by Donald Breed. Infirmary Occupants Few Over Week-end Fewer patients occupied the in firmary this week-end than usual. Most of these had colds or other minor ailments, according to the nurse in charge. Those under the nurses’ caro are: Jean Temple, Emily Williams, War ren Powell, William Baker, and Sam Itzkdwit.

Crowley Joins ‘Hole In One Club* Friday On Golf Course Here i A high honor has boon tossed into the waiting arms of a University of | Oregon student. Membership in the “Dodo” club is one of the tilings | most desired by golfers. Ed Crow | lev, member of the varsity golf i team until recently and one of the best intercollegiate golfers on the m oast, has joined the “hole in one club,’’ known to golfers as the “Dodo” club. In Ed's own words we have the stcrv of his exploit. “I’ve joined the Dodo club at last—sure was a thrill. On the fourteenth, a 1-17 yard creekholc, at the Eugene Country club last Friday afternoon. I used I a maslile niblick; the ball lit about throe feet from the cup and trickled right in.” Crowley states that besides the personal satisfaction of having ac complished the rare feat ho will re ceive a couple of cases of ginger alo, a dozen or so golf balls, many cigars and numerous cigarettes. The feat climaxes eight years of gclf for Crowley and according to the golfer it was mostly luck and the first and probably the last hole in one he will ever make.

Tho travelogue, featured by some forty minutes with accompanied lecturing on the part of each of tho men who made the trip, will take the audience on up through Burma with its gilt-edge pagodas, India, with the burning of the Hindu dead, and the bathers in tho filthy water of the Ganges. Indian scenes also include a shot of Mahatma Ghandi, non-cooperationist leader of the sun baked empire. .Scenes of tho Holy Land, familiar to students since earliest childhood, will be followed by a beautiful reel on the pharaoh land of Egypt where the men visited the ruins of Karnak and Luxor and the valley of tho kings, in which King Tutankhamen is buried. The architectural triumphs of the Old World, tlio Vatican and St. Pet er’s church at Romo, tho ancient forum of tho Caesars, and other Italian institutions aro included.
