Huskies Win Third Tilt
In Row From Ducks
Score Is 3 to 2; Webfoots
Are Nosed Out in
Final Inning
(Special to the Emerald)
UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Seattle, May 15.—The Husky
baseball team plunked Oregon on
the chin for the third straight
time here this afternoon by a
fc score of 3 to 2. The game was
a pitchers' battle between Dave
Bloom of the Webfoots and Ar
thur, the Washington hurler.
The Huskies' won out in the
ninth when with the score tied at
2-all the first man up smashed a
triple and the next batter drove
him across the plate with a hot
single.
Arthur’s Pitching Feature
The pitching of Arthur, lean and
lanky right-hander, featured the
game. Arthur has been used in
relief roles before, going in twice
against Oregon in the games
played at Eugene and stopping the.
Webfoots cold both times. His
work today had the Ducks guess
ing. They collected only six hits,
while Washington gathered eight
off Bloom, four of them coming
in the last two innings, just in '
time to edge out a victory.
Huskies Score First
Losing no time in getting ac- 1
quainted with the Oregon infield- :
ers, the Huskies pushed one man
Y around the bags in the first in- ’
ning. A walk started the runner !
on his way. He continued on to c
second when the following batter '
went out. A single put across the ‘
tally. J
Bloom tightened up after the 1
first and became stingy with the '
blows. Oregon tied the score in
the third on a walk, a sacrifice, 1
and a hit. ‘
Again in the first half of the 1
eighth, Oregon put on a brief ’
splurge. Lee Chester singled, and 1

Debate Tour Correspondence
Pile 2 Feet High Typewritten
Mildred Collins, Junior
Co-ed, Is Home Agent
For Travelers
If you would like to know how
much stenographic work is con
nected with preparations for the
35,000 mile Pacific basin debate
tour to be taken by a University
forensic team, ask Mildred Col
lins.
Mildred, junior co-ed from Al
bany, is serving as secretary for
Robert T. Miller, Roger Pfaff, and
David Wilson, the three members
of the team, who are leaving on
their long trip the first of June.
She took over her novel position
as an extra-curricular activity
about six months ago, and had
been actively assisting Bob Miller
in handling his voluminous corre
spondence for months before the
tour was announced.
Proficient in shorthand and in
typing, Miss Collins has given pro
fessional assistance, and is proba
bly more familiar with the two
foot high pile of correspondence re
garding the tour than anyone on
the campus with the exception of
Miller, who is manager for the Pa
cific basin forensic project.
The Oregon team, which will fill
about 60 speaking engagements in
New Zealand, Australia, Ceylon,
India, Siam, the Philippines, China,
Korea, Japan, and the Hawaiian
islands, will not return to this
country until the opening of win
ter term. During their absence
Miss Collins will act as “home
agent.” She will be advised by ca
ble of all changes in plans or itin
erary, and will be about the only
person who will know just when
and where to forward the tour’s
correspondence.
“I do enjoy doing the work,” the
young secretary said, when she

Local Interest in Religion
Greater Than Is Realized

(Editor’s Note: This is the
sixth of a series of articles on
united student religious work
and its relation to the Oregon
campus.)
t By JACK BELLINGER
“Students are more interested
in religion than they are com
monly given credit for, although
as a rule students are not inter
ested in a denominational approach
to religion,” said Karl W. On
thank, dean of personnel, in an
interview yesterday.
Dean Onthank believes that stu
dents exaggerate the amount of
denominational discord in Eugene.
Many students do not realize how
harmoniously the representatives
of the different religious groups
are now working together on va
rious projects, he said. Neverthe
less there is not as great pooling
of resources as might be possible
under a united organization, he
P pointed out.
“A united movement would have
the advantage not only of pooled
resources, but also the psychologi
cal advantage of being recognized
by students as a representation of
a common approach to religious
aspects to life, rather than an ap
proach through some one denomi
national view,” Dean Onthank de
clared.
The student-faculty committee
on religion Thursday evening
passed the recommendation of the
student findings committee that in
the near future some provision
should be made for a University
chapel and voted to pass the rec
ommendation on to the Univer
sity administration. Such a chapel
would by no means be one of the
compulsory attendance type, but
rather a place for quiet medita
tion and worship.
Speaking of this action of the
committee, Dean Onthank said, “I
should be in favor of any proposal

Blais Appointed
Editorial Writer
On Daily Emerald
Selection To Fill Vacancy
Left by Dave Wilson,
Harry Van Dine
Filling a vacancy left when the
resignation of Dave Wilson and
Harry Van Dine, members of the
editorial board of the Emerald

er and has prepared and presented 1
programs for the Emerald editor

member of the debate squad, 1
branching out into other student I
activities. The members of the re- <
cently organized Oregon Yeomen, '
men’s independent organization, <
elected him president.
Dave Wilson’s resignation was (
prompted by his selection as one of <
the Pacific basin debaters; prepar- t
ations for the tour causing him to (
centralize his attention. Harry £
Van Dine, as a correspondent for t
the Oregon Journal, was forced to
discontinue his work on the Em- j
erald because of the increased out- j
side work.

Spring Drama
Opens Tonight
On Guild Stage
Presentation First of 3
Showings Slated
New Play of Philosophical,
Psychological Plot
Declared Unique
The opening performance of
“Hotel Universe, 7 major drama
production of the spring, will be
presented to the University cam
pus this evening in Guild theatre
by a group of the most experienced
actors on the campus. The curtain
will rise promptly at 8:30.
This evening's presentation is
the first of three scheduled for the
play. Attention is called to the
fact that the second and third per
formances will follow at one-day
intervals, on Monday, May 18, and
Wednesday, May 20. Tickets are
on sale at the Guild theatre box
office and reservations may be
made by telephone, according to
"Cap” Roberts, business manager.
Play a New One
This last and principal dramatic
event of the college year has been
described as the most unique play
ever undertaken by the Guild thea
tre players. It is also the newest,
for it is being offered to the Uni
versity campus within a few days
of a year after its opening in New
York.
The story of the play is charac
terized by an intense philosophical
and psychological complication
among the characters, and for this
reason demands of its cast the
highest concentration of action.
The audience will find also that the
story demands undivided attention
and thought. For this reason, Mrs.
Ottilie Seybolt, director, has asked
that everyone make an effort to
be on time in order not to interrupt
the performance.
Setting Same Throughout
The play is rather unique in ar
rangement, since it is not divided
by intermissions. The time from
the rise of the curtain until the
end of the play is about two hours
with continuous playing and no
change of setting.
Dorathi Pierre, better known in
the eastern professional drama
circles as Dorathi Bock, will take
the leading feminine role. Many
of the other members of the cast
arc well known for their work in
the University drama department.
They are Carl Klippel, who will
play Stephen Field; Addison
Brockman as Pat Farley; Norma
Jacobs as Lily Malone; Jean Wil
liams as Alice Kendall. The part
of Tom Ames will be taken by
Walden Boyle and Jack Stipe will
appear as Norman Rose. Mrs. Ot
tilie Seybolt will play Hope Ames
and Felix will be played by Felix
Legrand, of the Romance language
department.
Strawberries Are «
Traditional Fare !
Strawberries, sausages, potato
chips, and coffee—such has become ]
the established menu for the Jun
ior-Senior breakfast which will be
held tomorrow morning at 8:30
o’clock in Gerlinger hall.
Here we find campus traditions 1
extending their influence into an ,
unexpected field—that of food. For
almost 20 years the above bill of
fare has been the same—as much ,
a custom as any other feature of t
this occasion.
During the reign of President P. y
L. Campbell this strawberry break- £
fast was held in the shade of the y
beautiful trees on the Campbell
lawn on a Saturday morning. If r
it rained the breakfast was served •
in the Campbell home. .
Then came Saturday classes. ‘
Now this traditional breakfast is "
held on Sunday, no longer out in J
the open, and far from the kindly fc
aospitality of the Campbell home, t
sut the spirit of this custom, like L
the bill of fare, remains un- t
thanged. a

Will of Oregon Sets
Pace in Medal Play;
Cardinal Is Second
Individual Championship Play
To Begin Today
By HAL RUSHTON
TTTITHSTANDING the assault of the highly touted Stanford uni
’ ’ versity golf team, the Webfoots yesterday won the Pacific Coast
conference championship at the local course. The tourney was the
most closely contested in years, the totals being only two strokes
apart, Stanford 627, Oregon 625.
Not until the last match was finished was the issue decided. Bob
Hammond, playing No. 6 for Oregon, came to the eighteenth hole
needing a five to win the title for the Webfoots. In a dramatic finish,
he recovered from behind a tree and sank a birdie four to give his
teammates the two-stroke margin and the match.
Applications for
10 Major Jobs on
Emerald Sought
Bill Duniway, Editor-Elect,
To Fill Positions by
Appointments
Ten major positions on the edi
torial and upper news staff of the
Oregon Daily Emerald for next
year will be filled the end of this
term after applications from per
sons interested in the jobs have
been considered by Willis Duniway,
editor-elect for next year, it was
announced last night.
"The jobs, are open to all per
sons on the campus interested,"
Duniway said, "and applications
for the positions will be received
until midnight next Wednesday.”
The following positions are to be
filled by appointment: managing
editor, news editor, editorial writ
er (3), sports editor, society edi
tor, feature editor, literary editor,
and chief night editor.
Applicants for the positions are
asked by Duniway to submit their
qualifications in writing at his of
fice in the journalism building by
next Wednesday. Past experience,
ideas on handling the Work, and
reasons why the applicant wishes
the position should be stressed,
Duniway announced.
All students on the campus, no
matter in what department, who
turn in applications for the Emer
ald positions will be given consid
eration, the editor for next year
promised.
Trade Honorary Holds
Initiation and Election
Pan Xenia, foreign trade honor- :
ary, held initiation and election of
officers Thursday night. Walter <
Williamson and Henry Levoff were i
the two men initiated. • (
Orville Garrett was elected pres- ]
ident, Lionel Lane, vice-president, <
Henry Levoff, secretary, and Fred ’
Ken, treasurer. <
George Will Stars
In a class all by himself, George
Will led the field by six strokes.
Next to his 149 was Malcolm Mac
Naughton of Stanford with 155.
Evidently George is near the top
of his game at this time. He has
been playing consistently good golf
this season, and is going to give
the collegians a battle for the con
ference championship starting to
morrow.
The officials have adopted a new
policy in this year's tournament.
The 36-hole play of yesterday de
termined the team winner and also
served as a qualifying round for
the individual championship. The
low eight of yesterday’s play are
to meet in match play today over
18 holes in the quarter-finals. The
four winners will then meet in the
afternoon in the semi-finals to de
termine the men to meet in the
36-hole finals on Sunday.
Draw Is Poor
The draw for today’s match
play is an unfortunate one. Cap
tain Vince Dolp, defending cham
pion, meets George Will, Oregon
number one man in the first round.
It is always close when these two
meet and much interest will be
centered on these two colorful
players when they tee off this
morning.
Other Webfoots who qualified
ire Frank Shafer who had 158 and
Sob Hammond. Shafer encounters
