By HARRY BUTTON
Today the Webfoot nine trek to
Corvallis for their third consecutive
game with the Aggies. Last Satur
day Oregon had
things pretty
^ much its own way
most of the game,
winning the tilt
10 to 4 and mak
ing it two straight
from the Beavers.
“Big Train”
MacDonald, a 1 -
though he allowed
11 hits to Coaeli
Coleman’s l> a t
sters, kept the
tingles wr e 11
spaced and gave
his Scottish ten
Ray Edwards
cleneies free reigh in the pinches,
Kay Edwards came through with
his customary circuit clout on liis
last trip to the plate, besides con
tributing a single and a double
earlier in the game. lie was at bat
five times.
Robie Performs for Ags
MacDonald and the dimunitive
“Rabbit” Robie played stellar roles
with the bat, the “Big Train& get
ting two hits, one of them a triple
in four trips and Robie getting three
^ for four.
Robie’s last b.ingle of the day had
a particularly dampening effect on
the morals of the Orange nine. It
came late in the game and almost
broke it up. Ira Woodie and Les
Johnson-were on base and there were
two outs.
MacDonald, masticating five sticks
of one of America’s premier brands
of chewing gum, sauntered to the
plate with his bat on his shoulder
and looked inquiringly toward the
outfield.
“Big Train” Scares ’em
The Aggie pitcher grew apprehen
sive, and he walked the “Big Train”
purposely to get . at Robie, who was
next in the batting order. On the
third pitched ball Robie came alive
and when things were quieted a
little later he was perched on second
and three runs had crossed the
home plate for Oregon, increasing
the ' varsity lead to a comfortable
five.
Oregon collected 13 hits off the
Aggies. Both nines made five er
rors. Ira Woodie caught the entire
game and did a good job of it. Dave
I Epps, playing with a badly sprained
ankle, accounted for a number ot
putouts in left. Don McCormick
was also on the boat at third, twice
gathering in foul balls for outs from
among the spectators.
Northern Trip Thursday
Including the game today, Oregon
has four conference games yet to
play. To win the Northwestern di
vision the Webfoots must win at
least one game from the Huskies
and one from the Aggies of the con
tests remaining. Chances for the
varsity taking the division look
good.
Tomorrow the Webfoots hold their
last workout on Reinhart diamond
before taking their northern trip.
At present the schedule calls for o
game with Columbia University in
Portland Thursday as a preliminary
to tlie Husky tilts, Friday and Sat
urday, in Seattle. This wilt mear
that Billy Reinhart will entraii
with his crew sometime Thursday
morning for the Rose City.

They’ll Attempt to Bring Home Third Win From Aggies
Tennis Men Win
From Agffies 6-0
Neer, Sliaw To Euler Coast
Meet at Seattle
Either the Oregon tennis team
was inspired last Saturday after
noon with a desire to vindicate the
ranking of tennis as a major sport
on this campus, or else tennis, as
played here, is superior in all ways
to that played in Corvallis. At any
rate, the Webfooters made a clean
sweep of the series with the Oregon
Aggies last week-end, winning by a
C-0 score, and allowing the Staters
only one set in the six matches.
This gives Oregon undisputed claim
to the championship of the Northern
division of the Coast, conference for
the first time in the' history of the
sport.
The Oregon freshmen also trounc
ed the Rooks in masterly fashion,
though the Aggie yearlings did
manage to squeeze through a win in
a singles match; score, 5-1.
Next week-end will see Henry
Neer and Howard Shaw in action at
Seattle, where they’ will go Wed
nesday to represent Oregon in tlie
first Pacific Coast conference indi
vidual tournament. The affair will
be run off with the straight elimina
tion system in the singles and
doubles.
A unique feature of' the Oregon
representatives is that both men are
left-handers.
Stanford, with Herrington and
McElvcnny, is favored to show best
in the tourney, though the Webfoot
pair is conceded an excellent chance
to break through in some of its
matches.
The bleachers for the Aggie
matches were filled at 9:30 Satur
day’ morning, but through some mis
understanding the Oregon State
players failed to show up at the
scheduled time. so the varsity
matches were postponed until after
noon.
Bradshaw Harrison, Stan Alm
quist, Sherm Lockwood, and Henry
Neer substituted in the morning
with exhibition sets for the cus
omers.
Following is a summary of the
Oregon-Oregon Aggie matches:
Varsity singles—Neer, Oregon, de
bated Ay'ers, Aggie, 6-0, 6-0; Shaw,
3regon, won from Speros, Aggies,

Memorial Coins of
Oregon Trail Arrive
At Business Office
Three Oregon Trail memorial
coins, part of the six million dollar
issue of United States legal tender,
were received at the office of the
comptroller of the University yes
terday. Thawe coins, which have a
face value of fifty cents, will be sold
for a dollar each, to provide a fund
to commemorate the pioneers who
crossed the plains to Oregon in 1852.
One face of the coin portrays a
covered wagon, drawn by oxen to
| ward the setting sun. On the oflier
J side the full figure of an Indian is
shown. The coins were issued by an
order of Congress, under the auspices
| of the Oregon Trail Memorial asso
1 elation, of which Ezra Meeker^ now
' in his 98th year, is president.
A letter from Mr. Meeker, who is
the last survivor of the adults who
came to Oregon in ’52, writes of
twenty years of labor spent to honor
| the memory of the pioneers and ex
j plains that' the money raised from
1 the sale of coins will be used for
! historical purposes and to erect new
! monuments and repair old markers
j on the Oregon trail.
Hurray! Don’t Shove!
Circus Here Today!
Perhaps University students have
passed the stage of desire to carry
water for elephants to gain admis
sion to a circus.Perhaps they
don’t even believe in throwing away
perfectly good peanuts to the circus
pachyderms. But at any rate, many
| of them will be interested to know
; that this morning at 8 o’clock the
( A' G. Barnes, five-ring circus, is
scheduled to arrive in Eugene from
Klamath Falls.
j The outfit of lions, ’n tigers, ’n
I everything else will be camped at
j Second avenue and Blair boulevard
and two performances will be given
i at 1 p. m. and 7 p. in. respectively,
JTo, don’t get eacited. No parade
1 will be held.
Schumaim-Heink
To Sing Friday
Eugene Program Includes
Favorite Numbers
_
By N. M. 0.
Twenty-nine ye’nrs ago Madame
Schumalin-Heink made her Ameri
can debut in opera when she sang
the role of “Ortml” at the Metro
politan Opera Company’s perform
ance of “Lohengrin” in Chicago.
On Friday evening one of the con
certs that mark her farewell to the
America concert and opera stage
will be given in the McArthur
court of Eugene.
During her American career
Madame Scluimann-Heink has en
deared herself to both laymen and
critics through her simplicity and
naturalness of manner, the rich
quality of her voice and her dra
matic power. Her Eugene program
will include some of her favorite
numbers, in which she has won uni
versal recognition for her profound
ness in the interpretation of human
emotions and the overwhelming force
of her climaxes. This is particularly
true of Franz Schubert’s “Erlkonig”
and Mary Salter Turner’s “Cry oi
Eaehel,” in which the intensity oi
paternal love is tragically portrayed.
As a relief from the grimness of
these numbers will come the dreamy
mood of “Pirate Dreams” by
Charles Huerter and the mirth of
Malloy’s “Kerry Dance.” “Kennst
Du Das Land” (Knowest Thou that
Fair Land?) in which “Mignon” oi
Ambroise Thomas’ opera describes
in’a tender song the beauties of hei
native land, is among the more deli
cate numbers on the program^ a!
well as the “Icli Liebe Dich” oi
Beethoven.
Descriptive numbers which tli(
proma donna will sing are “Taps,’
“Dawn in the Forest,” by Ronald
“Dawn in the Desert,” by Ross, ani
the familiar version of Joyce Kil
mer’s poem “Trees.”
The assisting artist on the pro
gram is Miss Florence Hardeman
a former student under Leopol;
Auer, the famous Russian violinist
ITer violin solos will include Edou
r.rd Lalo’s “Symphonic Espagnole’
Hubay’s “Butterfly,” Bohn’s “Moa
quito Dance” and the popular “Lar
go,” (Dvorak-Kreisler) from tie
New World Symphony.
University students may obtaii
tickets for the concert by presentinj
their student body tickets at thi
Co-op. Others may purchase ticket
there or at the A. S. U. O. office.

Vigor of Interpretation and Skill
Mark Concert of Mrs. Thacher
By NAOMI M. GRANT
Dramatic intensity and technical
shill were combined in the program
r{ Mrs. Jane Thache^ pianist, which
was presented last evening in the
school of music auditorium and
which will be given again at Cornell
University, Now York, early next
month.
A certain naive and appropriate
simplicity characterized the inter
pretation of Scarlatti’s “Pastorale”
and Couperin's “Rutterflies.” The
third number of the first group,
“Rigaudon” by Raff, with its
marked acsents descriptive of the
vigorous swing of a dnneo popular
in the days of Louis XIII ended in
the ftee time and lagging legato of
weary feet.
Two numbers that were outstand
ing in the freedom of interpretation
were “The White Peacock” of
Charles Griffes and Liszt’s “Night
ingale.” The softness of tone in the
introduction to the latter number
Was intriguing, while the melody
itself was characterized by a vari
ety of effects. To the natural in
terest in the modern harmony of
“The White Peacock” was added a
certain pompous deliberation of
rhythm and movement that gave
the number a descriptive merit.
For the “Funcrailles” of Pisz.t,
Mrs. Timelier gave two possible
sources of inspiration, the death of
Chopin or the death of the patriot
heroes of Poland. Its tragic grand
uer was carried throughout her in
terpretation of the first and last
movements and relieved by the calm
ness of the intermediate passage.
The dynamic control in the rapid
parts of the bass and the intensity
of climatic development made this
number one of the most striking on
the program.
The elusive quality of Debussy’s
“Reflections in the Water” was
brought out by contrast in the
chords and single tones, the subdued
sparkle of the runs and the clarity
of melody snatches that wero await
ed with interest.
The most contrast was shown in'
Chopin’s “Scherzo in C Sharp Min
or.” From the lightness of descend
ing runs, phrases were closed by the
deliberate and heavy chords of the
bass. The vigor of the active pas
sage and the abrupt brilliance of
the finale were encored by the audi
ence. The left hand melody of Tlio
Chopin “Nocturne” in its dramatic
achievement, and the perfection of
its embellishments was of singular
merit.
