MacDonald and again 8 to 7, the Willamette Bearcat baseball team may be in a bearish and an tagonistic humor when it opens a three - game se ries with the Webfoots at 3:30 this afternoon on Reinhart field. Reynold “B i g Train” MacDon aid is slated to keep the Bearcats from getting vicious in today’s game. In his first start of the season MacDonald received credit for 13 strikeouts and allowed only two hits. That was against Pa cific. Willamette, however, socked the ball plenty hard at O. S. C., and the veteran Webfoot hurler may need all his speed to keep the bases unburdened. The Oregon line-up will be about the same as opened the Pacific series, Coach O’Donnell announced last night. Gabriel will catch, Olinger will be on first, Londahl at second, Stevens at short, and Rabbit Robie on third. Five Outfielders in I/me Carl Nelson may possibly take Olinger’s post at the initial sack or he may be used in the field. The choice of outfielders has not been made yet. Counting Nelson, there are five who have a chance of starting. The others are: Kramer Barnes, Brian Mimnaugh, Franny Andrews, and Lawrence Jackson. There will be a double-header between the Webfoots and Bear cats tomorrow. The first game will start at 1:30 and the second will be limited to seven innings. It is likely that Curley Fuller will get one of the pitching assign ments tomorrow, for he is in very good condition. The other heavers on tap are Ken Scales, Dave Bloom, Hal Waffle, and Ed Charles. Benefiel Is ‘Hale and HeartyReports Show Jack Benefiel, graduate man ager of bhe University, who re cently went to California for his health is “looking well and feeling fine,” according to Dr. Delbert C. Stanard, alumni member of the executive council, who recently returned from Pasadena. Benefiel is “beginning to feel like his old self," and expects to be back at the University per forming his former duties in about ten days. Plan Made for Council Decision Judiciary May l\ot Hear Any Individual Petition - By Oliver Foliticus - Back to the old status of no in dividual appeal to the proposed judiciary may go the plans for the new constitution. A University of ficial has suggested that there be no appeal from the decision of the executive council. The council may ask the judiciary for confir mation of its views, but no indi vidual will be 'given the right to appeal. No matter the source of suggestion, there still remaii the suggestion itself to be cor sidered. Two arguments for th $ return may be offered. One is S that the judiciary would be * overworked; the other that the dignity of the executive coun cil would be shattered. If the judiciary is given the right, and it surely would be, to decide whether appeals would be considered, then the judiciary (Continued on Page Two) University Glee Will Give Easter Appeal From Moving; Finger * Sunday - Sara Addleman, Don Eva, Ralph Coie To Sing? Leading; Parts ‘Seven Last Words’ Mass Has Dramatic Power Some of the richest of all sa cred music will be heard on the campus Sunday when, following an Eastertide custom here, the University glee club, directed by John Stark Evans, will sing “The Eeven Last Words of Christ” at 4 o'clock vespers at the music au ditorium. Sara Addleman, soprano, Don Eva, tenor, and Ralph Cole, bari tone, will sing the leading parts. More appealing in its dramatic power than the St. Cecilia Mass, the “Seven Last Words” has been generally loved by students in the six previous presentations, ac cording to Mr. Evans. “It is a tremendous thing,” he said yesterday. “Some of its pas sages a^re among the finest in the literature of sacred music.” He cited the mob scene at the cross as it is portrayed in the Dubois cantata as one of the most im pressive parts. Doris Helen Patterson, harpist, will play obligato parts for the music. Mr. Evans, who is asso ciate dean of the school of music, will again appear in the dual role of organist accompanist and di rector. Last year the choir did not sing the famous Good Friday music be cause of a conflict with spring vacation dates but it has in recent years drawn record crowds to af ternoon vespers. Those attending are urged to go before 4 o’clock in order to be satisfactorily seat ed. The choir will be vested. Only Two More Days! Send In Golf Entry Blanks Now! Although a number of entries have already been turned in to Manager Faulkner Short for the Emerald spring handicap golf tourney, the list is still too small to satisfy the gentleman. “We need a lot more—especial ly women. You’d think the women of Oregon didn't play golf at all the way the entries are coming in.’’ Saturday has been set as the closing date for entry blanks to be sent in to the Emerald office. Qualifying play will start Mon day and run through next week. The 16 lowest medal scores will form the championship flight and the rest of the entrants will be placed in a first and possibly a second flight. The women's tournament will be run off in the same manner and handicaps established. The winner of the men’s first flight will be awarded an eight inch silver loving cup given by Paul D. Green, who also donated a cup in the recent Emerald radio contest. Second place in the cham pionship flight will be awarded a golf bag given by Hendershott’s sporting goods store. A silver cup donated by the Buster Brown Shoe store will to the woman who wins the fem inine side of the tourney. As yet plans for the highest honor, first place in the championship flight, have not been completed, but the prize will be a silver cup. In a handicap tourney, Short pointed out, every one has an equal chance to win honors, whether he shoots 70 or 120 for 18 holes, with a witness and turn in their cards to the Emerald of fice. A person’s handicap is his num ber of strokes over par. A man with a handicap of 20 playing a (Continued oh 1'age Three) Spring Dance Fete Slated For Tonight Program To Be Offered This Evening at Eight o’Cloek RECEPTION TO FOLLOW Geriingcr Hall Scene of Annual Presentation; Public Invited Including such effective and in tensely modern numbers as the | primitive “Congo,” barbaric “Fire Ritual,” and futuristic “Dance Moderne,” the annual spring dance recital, which will be held this evening at 8 o'clock in Gerlinger , lall, is one of the outstanding I ultural and artistic contributions * the year. § It is produced by the Master ® mce group and the department O dancing, under the direction of 5 rjorie B.

Drama Head Chooses New Spring Plan ‘Yellow Jacket,’ Comedy Drama, Will Be Given For Commencement SEVERAL PARTS OPEN Heilig Theatre To Be Scene Of Production; Mrs. Seybolt To Direct “Yellow Jacket,” fantastic and charming comedy-drama, where the hero walks “on the flowery seas of sin,” has been selected as the annual spectacular spring play, or Commencement play, by Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, head of the drama division, and will be presented May 21 at the Heilig theater. It will thus appear before com mencement. The cast has been partially chosen, but try-outs for several men’s parts will be held in Guild hall next Monday evening, April 14, at 8:30. Rehearsals to Start Mrs. Seybolt, who is directing the production, asks that every man interested in participating come out at that time, for the play is going into rehearsal at once. The main parts still open are: the Chorus, who sits on the stage as master of ceremonies and ap parently conducts the whole per formance; the Spider, one of the many and worst of the villains; Ling Won, the spirit of the hero’s ancestors; as well as several minor characters. “The Yellow Jacket” has re ceived the stamp of approval of the world’s theatrical centers: New York, London, Berlin, Mu nich, Vienna, Buda-Pesth, Petro grad, and Moscow. Possibly no other preset^ play has been translated and presented in so many different languages within so short a time after its original production. Play Is Chinese “This is an appropriate year for Oregon to choose a Chinese play, as China's greatest actor, Mei Lan-Fang, is appearing in this country for the first time and has (Continued on Page Two) Big Time Had By Journalists At Bust Last Eve ^TltANGE things went on in *■" the Emerald offices last night. Syncopated strains of “S i n g, You Sinners,” and “T’ain’t No Sin,” played on the Phi Sig phonograph, mingled with the click of the type writers, and the pop of corks leaving bottle-necks clashed with the cries of the day editor for “more copy!” If you notice any misplaced heads or queer sentences in this morning’s paper, forgive us, dear readers, for last night the staff of the special women’s Emerald published last term gave the staff of the men’s Emerald a party at the “Shack.” Thacher Recital Enjoyed Music Instructor Holds Audience With Piano By LOIS NELSON Further tribute to the gifted Jane Thacher was paid by a large Eugene audience last night when she gave a program of romantic and modern music in her concert at the University of Oregon school of music auditorium. When members of an audience gasp at the work of a performer, it is likely to be due to great bril liancy in technical accomplish ment. But when they sigh it is testimony to true artistry. And there were more than a few sighs heard Thursday evening as last notes of her numbers faded. Technical mastery that repre sents years of intensive study liv ens into art at the hands of Mrs. Thacher, because she understands the emotional spirit of her music and possesses the imagination to convey it to her audience. All consciousness of her remarkable technical equipment is somehow lost in her 'finished product.” One would think that Mrs. Thacher’s tones reach deeper into the piano, to judge from the rich ness and eloquence of the melody in her Chopin numbers and the two Scriabine selections. Though the clearness, delicacy, polish and facility with which Mrs. Thacher plays has been sung often before, it demands commendation once again. The lightness and brilliancy with which she played the Hummel rondo as her opening number was keenly satisfying. The Chopin fantasie evoked deepest enjoyment, displaying the Eugene pianist's extraordinary power and her sympathy toward the full harmonies of the Chopin chords. One was decidedly conscious of i the more impressionistic quality (Continued on I’uge Two) Cummings W ins A.W.S. Presidency For Year; Race Hotly Contested 1 Junior Vodvil Fate Muddled Word Delayed Affairs Committee Meet Postponed to 4 This Afternoon Hall Offers Revised Plan For Rehearsals The fate of the 1930 Junior Vod vil was left undecided for another day when the student affairs com mittee postponed the meeting called yesterday to decide on the issue until this afternoon at 4 o'clock. A complete report of the situa tion was turned in to Tom Stod dard, president of the Associated Students, yesterday by Vinton Hall, director of the vodvil. In his report, Hall outlined the con cessions possible for the vodvil of ficials to make and still put on the big junior show this year. Change Is Impossible It is impossible, Hall stated, to change the major portion of the ! show at this late date, and the only hope for the presentation of the show is that the committee will accept the concessions made by the directorate. New Plan Up Under the revised plan a mem ber of the faculty would be pres ent at every performance and re hearsals would be cut down to the minimum. All rehearsals would be held in the afternoon, with one at the Heilig theater in the morn ing instead of at night. Hall de clared, and the show would be kept at a high level. “We wish to put on the highest type of show possible that will meet with faculty approval and still satisfy the students who are accustomed to attending high class junior shows,” Hall declared last night. “Rather than attempt to completely change the vodvil at this late date and present an in ferior show, the directorate has deemed it advisable to abandon the project.” Operetta Will Be Offered Tonight University High Glee Club To Appear at Auditorium Much interest has been shown in campus music circles this week in the presentation of Anne Lands bury Beck's operetta, “King- of the Castles,” to be given tonight at 8 o’clock at the music auditor ium by the University high school glee club. Eugene Love will be assistant director and college mu sic students will furnish orches tral accompaniment. The operetta was heard for the first time in Eugene in 1922 and has since been played successfully by high schools throughout the United States. It is said to be a charming story with delightful choruses and jolly comedy. The operetta is interest ing artistically because it pre sents the story from the eyes of a child instead of an adult. Forty one high school students are in the choruses, dancing and speak ing parts. Tickets are now on reserve at the music auditorium. Barn Dance Tickets Still Available Today For those unfortunates who are unable to secure one of the limited supply of tickets to the Order of the O barn dance either from the Co-op or representatives in the men’s living organizations, there is still a chance to attend the function, according to Brad Har rison, president of the Order. Tickets may be secured as late as Saturday evening at the box office in the Igloo.

Rival Behemoths Grooming Battlers for Grid Squabble By JACK BURKE “The game was played on Sun day, down in St. Peter’s yard.’’ The quotation above, selected Doc” Spcarti alter a great deal of research and study, does not fit the case at hand, but it’s as close as there is, so it will have to suffice. It doesn’t fit because the game is going to be played today at 4:30 and it is going to be played on the field west of Hayward field and played not by saints by any stretch of the imagination. And, oh, yes, Colbert is going to play guard and Donahue halfback. The whole thing is this. “Chris” Christensen and “Coly” Colbert paused a moment during football practice yesterday afternoon, and gathering their satellites around them, laid plans for a battle to be played today. Everything points to a battle, so you can come out and see for yourself. Wear your old clothes as the blood is liable to flow quite freely. The “Christians” look best on paper, having the strongest line and the best backfield as well, but they are going to have to go some to beat Colbert. The latter is kind of sore as somebody has been cast ing asparagus remarks about his ability as a chooser. The story goes that he traded “Little Bear” Donahue and Bill Bowerman for “John” Gilbert, and he says he got Wally Shearer into the bar gain. "Coley” has Bill Anater at cen (Continued on Page Three)
