French. Russians Dicker
PARIS- France and Russia to
day smoothed out the last rough
spots in their proposed mutual
military assistance pact, and to
night it was confidently expected
the agreement would be initiated
tomorrow morning.
A 7rj-minute conference between
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of
France and Ambassador Vladimir
Potemkin of Russia at the Quay
D' Orsay sufficed to reconcile con
flicting views as to the text of the
treaty.
After Potemkin, announcing an
agreement had been reached, said
the convention would be put into
final form tonight.
A virtual military alliance link
ing the two pre-war allies, the new
agreement promises France the
help of Russia’s huge red army and
Russia the aid of France’s blue
uniformed Poilus in the event
either is attacked.
House O.K.'s ISavy Bill
WASHINGTON — The house
passed with a thundering chorus
of “ayes” today the record regular
naval appropriation bill for peace
time—a $460,000,000 measure to
build the fleet to treaty strength.
The measure now goes to the
senate, where expected passage
will boost the administration’s
naval defense program close to the
billion dollar mark when coupled
with the recently enacted army
appropriation bill.
The laying down of 24 more
ships toward a treaty strength
navy by 1942, adding of 11,000 en
listed men and contracting of 555
new airplanes, is provided in the
measure. Condemned in debate as
preparation for foreign wars and
defended as essential to peace-time
defense, the bill complements the
$400,000,000 war department sup
ply measure.
liras 1 bought Similar
CORVALLIS—The similarity of
the fire which destroyed the state
house at Salem and the fire which
gutted the First Methodist Episco
pal church here two weeks ago was
remarked here today.
Both fires started in the base
ment near airshafts which carried
the flames to the top of the build
ing. Origin of the church fire has
not been determined.
Reconstruction work on the
church is under way with a con
tract let this week for replacing
the roof and the interior.
C.O.P. Ready for Battle
W ASHINGTON—Althoughucon
ceding privately that they were
likely to fail, house Republicans
prepared today to do battle against
the sections of the omnibus bank
ing bill which would broaden fed
eral control.
At about the same time, Dr.
Walter E. Spahr, a New York uni
versity professor and a member of
the advisory council of the Ameri
can Liberty League, was calling
those sections of the bill an ex
ample of tendency "to convert our
various banking systems into polit
ically controlled institutions.”

John F. Bovard Sees Need
For Student Union Building
By Dan Clark. Jr.
A student union building at
Oregon, the largest and best physi
cal education plan in the north
west, two answers to hopes and
dreams of Oregon students in the
past are envisioned as nearing
reality by Dean John F. Bovard
of the physical education depart
ment.
“There is a grave need for a
student union building at Oregon,”
Dr. Bovard, who has been active
is invaluable to a university as a
center for the student social life.
Those living in sororities and fra
ternities would profit by a student j
union center, but the greatest ben
efit would come to those not living I
in the Greek tetter houses.”
Dr. Bovard, who has been actvie j
in forwarding the student union
movement on the campus, favors
a plan whereby the student union
would be situated in Gerlinger hall.
The present men’s and women's
physical education departments
would be consolidated in one huge
plant under this plan.
“With the men’s and women’s
physical education department
placed in another plant Gerlinger
hall would be left free for a stu
dent union project,” explained Dr.
Bovard. “It is ideally situated for
such a venture," he added. “The
east portion of the hall is already
highly suitable as a social center.”
This is the portion now known as
alumni hall.
Under Bovard’s plan the gym
nasium would be rebuilt into a
large ballroom. The apparatus

Japanese Like Campus,

With entertaining- talks and
moving pictures of the new Japan,
the orient's two student ambassa
dors of good will came to the cam
pus yesterday to bring their mes
sage of friendship to American
students.
The English speaking society of
Tokio is sponsor of the trip that
will take the two boys, Mitsuo
Nishimura and Chujo Watanabe,
on a 14-day journey from San
Francisco to Chicago, Boston, New
York, and back to Los Angeles
where they embark for their na
tive country.
Four reels of film, depicting
Japan during the four seasons of
the year, were shown. Japan in
spring showed rice cultivation and
the colorful festivals that make the
orient picturesque in spite of its
westernization. The summer film
had beautiful shots of fireworks,
more work in the rice fields, and
the cherry trees in blossom.
Winter Sports Popular
In fall, Japan turns to picnic
king, mountain climbing, and other
outdoor sports. The farmers are
busy harvesting the rice and co
coons are being robbed of their
silk. Winter scenes of snow sports
showed an excellence among the
oriental athletes that would be dif
ficult to match in America. Skiiers
and skaters demonstrated an
abundance of fancy ability.
The speakers talked briefly
about the new attitude growing
among Japanese students which is
increasingly demanding friendship
and cooperation among nations.
They asked for a pacific Pacific,

By LeKoy Mattingly
President C. V. Boyer “went
down swinging" before a low fast
ball delivered by Chancellor W. J.
Kerr to catcher-and-mayor Elisha
Large to open the northwest con
ference baseball schedule yester
day. L. H. Gregory, Oregonian
sports writer who had donned the
umpire's regalia, did not have an
opportunity to demonstrate his
prowress behind the plate.
The president’s fruitless swing
culminated the gala celebration
which marked the biggest day in
Oregon’s baseball history, and
made way for the Oregon-Oregon
State contest.
Parade Starts Day
The festivities began with a
parade through the down town
area to the still unchristened
field. Led by the University band,
more than 300 ROTC students es
corted the ball players to the scene
of combat, while a motorized pub
lic address system advertised the
game.
Generous contributions from local
merchants added to the interest of
the nearly 3,000 spectators who
turned out to witness the 17 to 0
slugfest. Don McFadden, who
pitched a two hit game for the
victors, received a ball and glove
from the University of Oregon Co
op awarded to the most valuable
player. Ray Koch won the most
prizes for his perfect day at bat
which included a home run, two
doubles and a single.
Coach VV. J. Reinhart received
two chicken dinners at the Imper
ial Cafe as the winning coach.
Despite promises to christen the
new $10,000 diamond, President
Joe Renner was forced to announce
that a decision had not yet been
reached because of the many sug
gestions. Reinhart day will bring
the Webfoots baseball schedule and
Coach Reinhart’s career at the
University to a climax with anoth

Koch High With 4 Runs;
McFadden Holds OSC
With 2-Hit Ball
One Homer Seored
Gillmen Batters Gain Only
Two Singles
By Gordon M. Connelly
With Don McFadden hurling
two-hit ball and a total of 17 hits
ringing off the Oregon hickory.
Bill Reinhart’s defending cham
pions of the northern division of
the coast conference ground the
Oregon State Beavers into the dust
of the new $10,000 diamond yes
terday, 17 to 0, in the season open
er.
Ray Koch was batting leader for
the day as he collected four hits
and runs in four trips to the plate.
He stretched two ground singles
into doubles by vigorous base-run
ning, cleaned the sacks in the fifth
with a long home-run into deep
right center, and was chiefly re
sponsible for a hitting parade, the
second of the day, which sent two
visiting moundsmen to the show
ers.
Capturing his fourth game in
four starts, McFadden mowed
down the Gillmen with his jyht
ning fast one, yielding but two sin
gles, one in the second to Dan Mit
ola and one in the eighth to Hol
lenbeck, Orange catcher. Only one
opponent reached third base, dy
ing there, while eight men were
retired by the whiff route.
Van ”’1101 Starts
The first inning saw the begin
ning of the hit barrage. Maury
Van Vliet was safe on a Texas
leaguer into left, reached second
when Worthley dropped Hollen
beck’s throw, and scored when
Koch laced a grounder through
shortstop for a double.
Five runs dented the rubber in
the second. Ralph Amato drew a
pass, John Thomas touched the
initial sack on an error by George
Hibbard, and McFadden hit infield
to short, filling the bases. Van
Vliet beat out a hit to Hibbard,
counting Amato. Wes Clausen sin
gled to left, scoring Thomas, fol
lowed by Koch’s single which saw
McFadden and Van Vliet go home.
Johnny Lewis forced Clausen at
the plate, but Koch scored on the
end of the play at first. Harry Mc
Call closed the frame, bounding
out, third to first.
Blow Nets Three
No runs came in during the third
inning, but the Ducks got two more
in the fourth after Koch doubled,
Joe Gordon was purposely walked
for the second time, Lewis scorched
a two-bagger over third, and Gor
don came in standing up on Mc
Call’s infield out.
Koch’s four-base blow in the
fifth, scoring Van Vliet and Clau
sen ahead, netted three more runs
and caused the relief of Boyd Ras
mussen, Corvallis southpaw, by
Kalibak, another portsider. Ras

Retrial Called in Moot Case
Trying Law School Offender
Indicating perhaps that justice
is not always assured even in the
hands of well-trained gentlemen of
the law, a retrial was called for at
the close of the case of Clifford
Beckett vs. Arthur Clark last night
in Judge Hollis’ court in the coun
ty courthouse. The proceedings
were the first in the present “ses
sion” of the moot trials conducted
by the trial practice class of the
University law school.
To reconstruct the case, it was
just a year ago, during Junior
Weekend, that the Oregon campus
read in Its morning paper of an
automobile collision involving two
prominent law school students.
Mr. Clark, driving Mr. Beckett’s
car, was involved in a serious ac
cident. The driver of the other car
was able to catch only the license
number and consequently brought
suit against Mr. Beckett for dam
ages—which the latter was forced
to pay.
In yesterday’s proceedings, Mr.
Beckett was suing Mr. Clark,
whom he charged was driving the
car without his consent for $495
damages and $150 court costs.
Hieber and Palmer represented
the plaintiff, while Goodrich and
Kilpatrick were lawyers for the de
fendant.
Rumor has it that the inability
cf the jury to come to a decision
was largely the result of a super
"preponderance” of lawyers among
the twelve good men and true.
Spectators wondered If there might
be something in the fact that tha
status of justice above the judge’s
chair carried a pair of scales which
! were slightly off balance.
