4 Passing Gets Emphasis at Grid Practice Lillard, Temple Do Most Of Flipping, But Prove Erratic 58 Men Signed Up So Far For Spring Season; Spears Misses Guards and tackles pushed through blocking and charging fundamentals yesterday afternoon, but the dull routine of training was made more interesting for the f backfield men, wingmen, and the spectators, when a fast game of football a la pass was organized by Jack O'Brien, assistant coach. The field was in excellent condi tion, giving ample footing for swift running and quick turns. Defense Work Criticized Eleven passes out of 74 at tempts were completed. Lillard and Temple, who did most of the ball flipping, were both rather erratic. Defense work was criti cized by Coach O'Brien because the offense men were able to get past their opponents too often. “Always keep the man you are guarding between yourself and the ball,” he advised. “Then you can watch both of them and go back to block the pass when it comes.” V Best Men l sed The men who comprised the two lineless teams are, perhaps, the cream of the crop of ball passers and snatchers. They are: Carter, Kennedy, Gee, Lillard, Bobbitt, Winter; and Mikulak, Hughes, Bowerman, DePittard, Thompson, Beard, Temple, and Bailey. According to a report made by Ted Robe, junior manager, 58 men are signed up thus far for the : Dr. Ella C. Meade : OPTOMETRIST “Orthogon soft light lenses ; eliminate glare and distortion.” PHONE 330 14 West Eighth spring season. However, not more than 44 have appeared as yet or the same afternoon. Spears Is Absent Doc Spears was not present at the practice last night. In his ab sence the work was under super vision of Gene Shields and O'Brien. Jerry Lillie, John Kitzmiller, and John Donahue are also helping with the training process. Weather note: Possible casual ties which may be suffered by the squad or by spectators have changed from drowning and pneu monia to sunstroke, according to Doc H. G. Crosland, who was an observer at the practice last night. Swimming Team Elects Fletcher, Miller, Captains At a banquet last night, mem bers of the Oregon varsity swim ming team elected two honorary captains for next year. They were McGowan Miller and Steve Fletch er. ' Miller, star dash man on the squad, led the team in total points for the season though handicapped most of the time by a broken fin ger. Steve Fletcher, who set two new coast records in the breast stroke, was second in total points. Miller was a sophomore and Fletcher a junior this year. Coach Jack Hewitt made a short talk at the banquet, saying that the season had been very success ful and complimenting the team in general. The purpose of electing two cap tains is explained by the fact that there are both meets and water polo. The captains, however, are not designated for either in par ticular. 54 Journalists Reply To Dean Allen’s Query From 54 answers received out of 690 questionnaires sent out by Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, to discover the most useful general course in the work of journalism graduate, it was found that economics, history, and English literature were ranked above the others listed as most helpful. Other questions asked in the questionnaire were of a more per sonal nature, relating to salary and similar subjects. 5r COLONIAL Monday Sunday Wanaj. Carroll in LAUCUTCD 25c MOth.

DHIl COMEDY — COLOR REVIEW - NEWS Smiling Don Moe Recounts Vivid Yarns of Wanderings By HAL RUSHTON Smiling Don Moe is home again after having golfed on two conti I nents and having played on the j most famous courses of the world. With the Walker Cup team Don was sent to England to represent the United States against the Brit I ish Walker Cup representatives. Don did his part creditably in con tributing to the brilliant American victory over the Englishmen last spring. A world of golfing experience was gained by Don and Dr. Will I ing, the Northwest’s other con j tribution to international golf competition, on the tricky, wind swept courses of England. One hole that remains quite prominent in Don's memory is a 160-yard par I three hole at St. George's. Here, in the morning with a slight breeze blowing or no wind at all, the customary shot was a mashie niblick pitch, while in the after noon, in the face of the wind from the sea, a full drive would often fall short. Once on the green, it is another thing to hole out in the allotted i two putts. The wind all but blows the ball away, while even a rea 1 sonably firm stance is impossible. Add to this lightning-like greens which are famous for making sea soned veterans three-putt repeated ly and even take four putts from as close as 35 feet. The Walker Cup men returned to the United States after watch ing their illustrious captain. Bob by Jones, win the British open and amateur championships. The tearr disbanded in New York and Dor came home. Don soon packed his clubs again however, this time to work his way to China, Japan, and the Philip pine and Hawaiian islands on a Dollar line. He played golf at the various ports of call in the Pacific, and recounts vividly his experienc es in the Orient. In China, one of the best golf courses is laid out over an old graveyard. Here the burial mounds provide bunkers, and all players are requested not to take too deep divots. In all probability, Don's studies will prevent him from playing 'in tercollegiate golf this season, as he is determined to go on with his study of law. Don is entered in the 1931 Western Amateur cham pionship to be held next July at the Portland golf club and should go far in his effort to regain this title this summer. Oregon’s Future Lies in Industry, Says News Report Education Should Point to Needs of Coining Years, View Oregon should in the future look toward business and manufactur ing for her greater sources of in come instead of agriculture, for estry and mining. The future edu cational program of the state, says the Oregon higher education sur vey, should be predicated toward expectation of business and manu facturing increases. More Money Spent The state is spending more than the average on higher education in proportion to elementary educa tion. This top-heavy system should be strengthened by better organ ized grade and kindergarten school systems. Oregon’s investment in capital equipment per 1000 population is almost twice that of the United States as a whole, the report re veals. For each $1,000,000 of its wealth, to use another system of comparison, Oregon has invested $3,935 in capital assets for higher education as compared with $2500 for the United States as a whole. Full Value Sought “The problem,” said the com mission, "is whether Oregon is se curing the fullest returns for the money it is expending and whether the opportunities and services af forded its people are of the char acter and type to be expected from such expenditures.” In solving the problem, it is stated that data indicate that Ore gon falls below the United States as a whole in the percentages of students in graduate work, in lib eral arts and in lav/, and that the percentages enrolled in agriculture, commerce and business, engineer ing and pharmacy exceed those of the United States as a whole. THEATRE SAID TO BE EXCELLENT TRAINING (Continued from Cage One) when they finished high school. The value of this system of try outs and competition is much the same as that of the tryouts for football, Mr. Collins stated. Of the hundred who may turn out for Come Out and Play Spring brings that urge to be out and playing golf. Golf to the student who is tired of study. LciureluooJD training, 11 are chosen for a first team: yet a definite interest has been aroused in all of them and a feeling for, and understanding of, the game. Thus the players and audience have been created at the same time. “Familiarizing people with the drama by means of many small theatres and creating an intelli gent audience as well as good players," Mr. Collins concluded, j “will bring America to a higher plane of dramatic appreciation than the two-reel comedies and imperfect talkie.” First Faculty Recital To Be Given Tuesday The first faculty recital of the year is to be given at the music auditorium next Tuesday evening, April 7. Aurora Potter Under wood, pianist, and Emilienne Roach, soprano, will appear in joint recital. Both are connected with the music faculty. German composers will receive a major share of attention on Mrs. Underwood’s part of the program. She will play selections from Brahms, Beethoven, and Wagner, and also the finale from a Chopin sonata. The recital will be free to stu dents and the public. PUBLIC THRONGS TO DRAMA CONTEST PLAYS (Continued from Page One) was no opportunity for either ac tion or changing the tone of her voice. Robert Richmond, as the jewel thief, Miller the Hawk, did very nicely but his youth kept him from being entirely convincing in the part. Others in the cast were Ruth Ford, as the maid Lucille, an accomplice; Bernice Richmond, the lady’s companion; Tom Rich mond, the police inspector, and Bel don Richmond, as Garrity, a po liceman. A good representation for the Richmond family it would seem. Fugene High Gives JJruma The last play on the program was “Judge Lynch,” presented by the Eugene high school and direct ed by Mrs. Ethel Chase Christie. The setting was the back porch of a “poor white” farm house in the South. It illustrates the prejudice against the negro by telling of a lynching and the readiness of ev eryone to believe in the guilt of an innocent negro even though the guilty white man is in their very midst. Peggy Reynolds and Eun ice Elliot were strong in their parts of Mrs. Joplin and her daughter in-law. The husband was played by Rolla Goold, and the stranger by Bruce Tuck. Tonight’s program will consist of three plays. Baker high school, in spite of difficulties in transpor tation due to weather, will present a sea tragedy, “Submerged,” un der the direction of Alice May Ol iver, Cecil Perkins. George Rog ers, Elwood Davis, Verdell Rags dale, Irwin Fleener, and Clifford Bowen compose the cast. Former Winner on Tonight Medford high school offers “The Mirror,” directed by Maurine M. Johnston. This is a modern play in which the parts are taken by Maxine Bohnert, Harold GeBaner, and Frank Graham. Portland will be represented by Lincoln high school, who won the contest last year. “Drums of Oude” is the play given under the direction of Con stance Roth. The scene is laid in northern India during a wierd na tive uprising in the spring of 1857. Tickets are on sale at the Guild theatre box office. PHILOGRAMS - - Sport news By Phil Cogswdl Survey Report— As many angles to this federal survey report as there are to a polygon, which means they're un limited. One of the main conclu sions drawn on the athletic situa tion is that “intramural athletics are being seriously retarded in fa vor of intercollegiate athletics.” Implication of this statement is that the school has made it a pol icy of discouraging intramural ! sports, while on the other hand intercollegiate sports have been 1 pushed. A closer historical analy ! sis of the situation here at Oregon J indicates that intramural athletics ; just failed to get emphasis be i cause they were not greeted with 1 particular enthusiasm by the stu dents, and that intercollegiate sports ran away with the interest because they were popular with the students. * « * ff hat They Wanted— In other words, the students have got what they wanted and not, according to the report, what was good for them. There are seven major intercollegiate sports, which have been plenty for all the athletes to participate in. There are many intramural tournaments attempted here, with only a meas ; lire of success. Over at the men's gym they have usually had a feeling of sat [ isfaction if a house tournament really reached completion. How | many handball tournaments fall through before the finals? How j many over a half dozen fraterni ties entered the swimming meet? And were there more than half a hundred in the campus track meet t These tournaments were given 1 plenty of publicity and pushed by coaches and instructors; the stu dents weren’t behind them. Intramural Emphasis— The report says also that there should be a drastic cut in coaches’ salaries, and in the expense of in tercollegiate sports otherwise be cause they do not pay for them selves, and that more money should be spent on intramural sports. Intramural sports do not need more finances to be successful; they need student spirit. There is practically no outlay made on them, and any additional would not be of much help. The gym is not crowded. We have as many tennis courts, handball courts, and playing fields as neighboring schools. There are five intramural tour naments scheduled for this term. The fraternity attitude toward them is: “Say, how much time and rVTTTOP how many men do they think we have?" • * • Professorial Coach— If our intercollegiate sports do | not pay for themselves, it is be-! cause we are unfortunate in man , aging them. They pay at other j I schools, and chances are that they j might soon here. Getting a low-salaried coach i would not lead toward betterment j unless all other schools did like | wise or unless he was an unusually j capable philanthropist, j Another angle, the report sug ; gests intercollegiate .athletics be taken out of the hands of the stu- ' dents. As their direction is about the chief function of the student government, would it not mean, that the A. S. U. O. would become practically useless? • * • j Is It So Bad JSoiv?— The report in regard to ath | letics, if adopted, would lead in j one of two directions. A high in | tramural sport system might be 1 developed. This is unlikely be cause the majority of students haven’t showed signs of wanting it. Athletics might be abolished entirely, or limited to gym exer cise. The present system may have its evils, but has it no benefits? Is there no good to be derived in such school spirit, for instance, as js now being exemplified at Notre Dame, and which was built on in tercollegiate sports? Are the inspirational thrills of the big games, the fights for clean victory, the accompanying student loyalties—are they all, and with out qualification, detrimental ? j MUST BE ECONOMY, IS EDICT OF BOARD (Continued from Page One) of students per section is very small. “Third: That research work is not organized in such a manner as to utilize adequately the resources ; of the institutions and that exten- i sion activities, publications and publicity are poorly organized from the standpoint of economy and of obtaining the best results from the | efforts expended. “Fourth: That evils result from the competitive efforts of the in stitutions to attract and hold the ' maximum number of students, and that there is a great waste of mon- I ey and effort in this competitive scramble for students, since there is no program designed to direct students into curricula which wilt make them of greatest service to the state and which will insure them useful employment. “Fifth: That the facilities of the Phone 76 66 Broadway Parker’s Quality Market Wholesale and Retail Meats We Use Steer Beef Only 01 Jit MARKET IS THE MOST SANITARY AND MODERN MARKET IN EUGENE.

If economies contemplated under the act are to be achieved during the current biennium, this program must be initiated in an effective manner not later than the pre scribed date.” Presbyterians Will Have Student Service The Presbyterian cnurch will hold student Easter services Sun day morning from 9:30 to 11.
