VOLUME XXIX. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1928 NUMBER 125 Varsity Goes To Corvallis ToPlay Today 4 Saturday 10 to 4 Win Makes Two Straight For Ball Nine Columbia and Washington To Be Next in Week-end Jaunt Northward Northwest Conference Division Won Lost Pet. Webfoots .3 1 .750 Huskies .3 3 .500 Aggies .2 4 .333 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. t U. of O. Students Are Given Questionaires Questionaires are being given t< the 9 and 10 o’clock classes in tin University to gather data for tin study which Ilarl Douglass, professoi of education, and Roland Humph leys, research assistant, are making of the possibilities of predicting academic success in college.

Mr Humphreys is in charge of the in vestigation under the direction o Mr. Douglass. 1 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, 5-1, 6-2; Hartman Oregon, beat vlahn, Aggie, 6-2, 6-2; Peterson, Oregon, defeated McGrow, Aggie, 1-0, 6-2, 6-2.

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.

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.

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.
