Ken Robie The Bearcats smashed out 11 hits, but were so ragged in their base running and loose in their fielding that they didn’t even have a snarl as an ar gument at the finish. The teams play a double header today, the first game starting at 1:30. Reynold MacDonald pitched the whole game for Oregon and al though Willamette hit him often, he kept the bingles scattered and the score was not close long enough for him to get in a hole. Bob Grant, the Willamette chuck er, a portsider, had a bad day all around. He issued seven free bases and then was hit hard in the pinches. Also he received some terrible support from his i teammates. Six errors, most of them coming with the bags clut tered with Webfoots, helped to cause his downfall. Oregon Scores in Second Oregon scored two runs in the second for opening counters. Barnes got hit with a pitched ball, Nelson was safe and went on to second when Grant threw an easy roller over Tracksel’s head at first. Johnny Londahl singled to bring them both in. Willamette scored one run in the fourth as a result of three clean singles in a row. Erickson, Cardinal, and Adams did the heavy clouting in this frame. The Webfoots found it easy to gather runs after the third. In the fourth Nelson walked, Olinger struck out, then Londahl walked. Stevens advanced the two by knocking a grounder to second. MacDonald came through with a timely double and gave himself a comfortable margin of runs. The seventh was a big inning for the l Webfoots. They garnered seven runs on six hits, two walks, and two errors during this period. Nelson Does Well Carl Nelson did some nice work with the stick for Oregon, bag ging three singles out of four times up. MacDonald drove out three doubles, and Charles Hoag, (Continued on Page Three) * To Teach Here Fresh from nearly five years of active arid varied newspaper work, Reginald Coggesliall, sports edi tor of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, will come to the campus as professor of .jour nalism next fall, it is announced by Erie, W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism. New Type Recital To Be Initiated By Oregon Band Lawn Will Form Natural Amphitheater for Many Listeners Musicians To Make Debut Sunday Evening As evening shadows fall over the campus Sunday night the Uni versity of Oregon band will make its debut in outdoor concerts. The program will be given on the tennis courts by the old li brary and will begin at 7 o’clock in the evening. Lawn Seats Crowd Listeners will sit on the lawn which slopes down to the courts— and they are advised to bring blankets or pillows as the lawn may be damp. Band concerts belong to the balmy moonlight lights, according to general sentiment, and the in auguration is expected to have wide student appeal. The outdoor program has been planned by John H. Stehn, band director, and is under the auspices of the A. S. U. O. Marches Included Some of the best known of all marches are included in the pro gram which is also to include se lections from the popular musical comedy, “Rose Marie.” The en tire program follows: I. Barnum & Bailey’s Favorite March .K. L. King (Ope of the best known circus marches by the greatest of all circus bandmasters.) 2. Overture to “Norma” ... Bellini (Brilliant overture to opera of the same name.) (Continued on Page Tula) Hey, Hay! Meet Mules, Horses At 0 Men’s Barnyard Bust Hear ye! Hear ye! Tonight’s the night! As the inscriptions on the sidewalks and the banner in front of Johnson hail brazenly and blaringly shrieks at passers-by. The big barnyard bust at the Ig loo, sponsored by the Order of the I O! Not merely a dance but a fun fest with all conceivable ru ral paraphernalia to be in evidence in the form of hay, rules, harness, milkcans, and rustic costumes. Athletes Work Hard The athletes have been work ing hard to make the affair a suc cess and plans are shaping toward a successful goal. Bobby Robin son, Dutch Shields, and Jerry Lil lie are handling the decorations and promise that no one can ever say that the surroundings were not rustic enough. According to Brad Harrison, O. S. C. generous ly offered to provide the necessary stock and equipment, but the I committee decided that just as good or better could be secured around the neighboring country side. Dave Mason is still being trust ed with the finances, while Pat Beal, Marion Hall, and Ralph Hill assure the dancers that the floor will not be slick in spots only. George Christensen is advertising chairman so he is probably to blame for the lurid advertisements. Austin Colbert is supervising the : whole affair. And what of the features? They are a deep, dark secret as yet, but Wally Shearer and Hal Hatton are willing to throw out a few hints. There is going to be a species of shoot the chutes awaiting all com ers that is slated to provide a riot of fun. Just an old rural custom, I says the committee. The custodian of the animals | has not been appointed yet, but I there is a rumor afloat that Ho mer Dickson will get the job so that the mules won’t feel out of ' place.

Register For Primaries, Says A.S.U.O. Prexy M STODDARD, president of the A. S. U. O., last night issued a ringing appeal to cam pus voters to register for the approaching primary elections. Stoddard’s appeal follows: “Let me urge every student to register immediately for pri mary elections. Tuesday, April 15, will be the last day for reg istration. “I am anxious that the Uni versity be well represented at the polls and show their inter est in politics of the state and expressing their opinions by the ballot. “Student voters at universi ties where state and govern mental problems are studied as extensively as they are at Ore gon, must come through by supporting their favored candi dates.” _—-i Lairdists and Johnsonites Test Strength Bryan Promises Something New ami Extraordinary • For Students MEETINGS ARE HELD Phi Psis and Sigma Cliis Headquarters for Two Campaigns By DAVE WILSON The past week has seen the an nouncement of rival tickets for the student body election to be held on May 1, and campus poli tics have now swung into the sec ondary stage,—the struggle to see which party will line up the strongest support from the living organizations. The political field at present re sembles the side-show lot of a circus. Skillful exponents of po litical ballyhoo ply their avoca tion with daily increasing vigor at headquarters established at the Phi Kappa Psi cottage and the Sigma Chi mansion. The game for both the “John sonites” and the “Lairdites” is to convince the political chiefs of as many fraternities and sororities as possible that they can make no mistake in handing over the forty or fifty votes in their con trol as the price of admission to “THE PARTY,”—an investment guaranteed to bring them ade quate returns in the form of po litical favoritism next year. Meetings Are Held Campaign managers for both Hal Johnson and Chuck Laird have held meetings during the past week to which representatives of all living organizations not hav ing candidates on the other ticket were most cordially invited. Fire side parties were held at the Phi Psi house Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and the spacious Sigma Chi living room was placed at the disposal of prospective investors Friday night. Each party has as a nucleus for its house group the fraternities and sororities of its candidates. Hal Johnson, by having a candi date for every office on his ticket, has five houses definitely bound to him to Laird’s four. Laird has not as yet announced a candidate for junior man. Houses Already Listed By reason of affiliation of can didates, Laird will receive the votes of members of Sigma Chi, Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Alpha Omicron Pi. To these Johnson opposes Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Phi, (Continued on Page Three) Student Dropped From University Committee Suspends Man For Drunkenness The student advisory committee, backed by the University adminis tration, yesterday indefinitely sus pended a male student for drunk enness. He may return to the University in the fall only upon the acceptance of a petition by the committee. He was placed in the position in which he was found by a group of friends as a "prank," it was said. He was taken into custody by the Eugene police but later re leased. Tivo Recitals on Bill Of Music Next Week Two faculty recitals of deep in terest to campus and Eugene mu sic centers will be the programs to be given next week by Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist, on Wednesday and Boy Bryson, tenor, on Thursday. Both are members of the school of music faculty and have been widely recognized for their ability. Mr. Bryson has recently been appointed assistant director of the University polyphonic choir, by Arthur Boardman, director. Student Affairs Group Unanimously Refuses To Agree To Revisions jion Taken After Filing of feport; Concessions Made Say Submitted Charges Did Not Comply With Committee’s Agreement By HARRY VAN DINE ACTION taken by the Student Affairs committee Friday afternoon sounded the death knell for the proposed 1930 Junior Vodvil. The committee meeting was called at the request of Vinton Hall, vod vil director, to take action on the proposed revisions to be made in the show. The fate of the annual high-light of Junior Week-end has been hanging in the balance for a week, after Hugh Biggs, dean of men, and Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, had refused to sanction the show in the plan outlined by Hall. The plan was submitted to the committee with the understanding that the annual show would be Statement From Student Affairs Committee In voting unanimously to de ny the revised petition of the junior class for permission to stage a vodvil featuring a mu sical comedy, the student af fairs committee re-affirmed its agreement with officers of the junior class reached at an ear lier meeting, which agreement changed the form of the Jun ior Vodvil fundamentally. It was mutually agreed be tween the committee and the junior class representatives that the musical comedy fea ture involving numerous nights of rehearsals be eliminated and in its place be substituted a program less pretentious and elaborate and costing far less in time and money. The intervention of the fac ulty committee came as a re sult of certain ills of former vodvils affecting the health, morals, and scholarship of the participants. The revised petition which was the subject of the student affairs committee meeting Fri .day afternoon, failed very def initely to conform to the agreed plan and consequently was de nied. The committee went on rec ord as being unwilling to ap prove any play which requires such elaborate preparations as have those in the past and as the proposed plan promises. Members of committee pres ent: Hugh Biggs, assistant dean of men; Mrs. Chas. Bchwering, assist ant dean of women. Tom Stoddard, Helen Peters, Prof. Howard Taylor, Dr. Wilmoth Osborne. i dropped if the student affairs group failed to accept the conces sions. Several changes in the project were made by the staff of the vod vil that would enable the affair to come near faculty require ments and still satisfy the entire student body. No Possible Alternative The only alternative left for the vodvil directors was to stage a series of regular acts with no re hearsals allowed. The directorate declared that it did not feel justi fied in putting on a show of the proposed calibre and charge the admission necessary to meet ex penses. The near proximity of the proposed showing of the project was also a factor that prohibited complete reversal of form. “The directorate deeply regrets to take this action,” Hall stated last night, "but we feel that it is the only course left for us to take. We had planned to put on an eve ning's entertainment that would compare favorably with any ever seen on the campus and had al ready spent much time on the project.” Flans Well Begun Hall appeared before the com mittee yesterday to state his plan for the revision of the show. All of the music and songs had al ready been completed, settings were designed, leads and choruses chosen, and advertising contracts had been let for the project, ac cording to Hall. Approval of the three faculty advisors of the show had already been received. The advisory coun cil was composed of Professors Louis Artau, John Rae, and Ed ward Lesch. Directorate Organized “The vodvil met with my ap proval,” Mr. Lesch stated last night. “However, I have noticed that several ultra-conservative colleges throughout the country (Continued on Page Two) Pansies W ilt Under Onslaught Of Christensen’s 'Cream Puffs’ By JACK BURKE When the participants in yes terday’s gory football feud quit swearing, and the blue haze lifted Christensen from the field, IX bedrag gled “Pansies” were found trampled in the dust by the overwhelm ing power of the opposing “Cre am- puffs” led by "Chief cream -puff” Christensen. Fourteen to thirteen was the official score of the contest, but its far as the participants are con cerned, the score only indicates that they either won or lost; there was more than a game at stake, | according to reliable reports. “Cream-puffs” Penalized The “Cream-puffs” drew one penalty from Shy Huntington, the referee, for swearing', and so they can be conceded the title in that department as well as the game, as the quality of language dis played by the opposition didn’t quite come up to the penalty mark. The "Cream-puffs” kicked off and the "Pansies” immediately punted. When the safety fumbled, the white-shirted team led by "Pansy” Colbert, had a golden op portunity to gain first blood, but the green shirts held and Coley’s outfit lost the ball. Blood Is Drawn When about ten “Cream-puffs” tackled Wally Shearer, they drew first blood and a sadly damaged “Pansy" was helped off the field, his jersey covered with blood, and his face covered with nose. As far as scoring goes the fol lowing will give an idea of how it all came about. There is one score missing on the "Pansy” side of the ledger, for when Jack Erd (Continued on Pag» Two)
