Roy Pleases Crowd At MacDowell Club Event Those who were present for the February concert of the Salem Mac Dowell club which took place last night in the concert hall of the Neuon building clearly understood why Ted A. Roy. a studentat Ore gon State College. Corvallls. won second place in competition with lyoung men from every state In the union at the At water-Kent radio audition held earlier tn tae rail at New Tork City. Mr. Roy completely captivated the audience- that filled the hall to capacity, mi tenor voice is of a remarkably rare and beautiful quality and the very fact that his staging lacks the sophistication and assurance of a more experi enced musician appealed to those who heard him. The parity and freshness of his voice is exceeding ly pleasing. This big. blond, amiable fellow, familiarly known am the Oregon State campus as the "Singing Blacksmith," offered a program of great variety ranging from oper tic selections to the lightest melo dies. ot- - - m . ins program opened with a group of five songs sang by Mr. Roy. "Le Reve de Des Grieux" (Massenet offered plenty of oppor tunity for the dramatic power ev ident at all times in the singing of the featured artist. Three short songs, "Deep in My Heart a Lute Lay Hidden" (Ayl- ward). "Sylvelin" (Sinding), and "Do Not Go. My Love-' (Hageman) were all sung with delightful warmth, flexibility, and under standing. "Che Gelida "Manina" (La Boheme) by Puccini, a number that appealed greatly to the audi ence wnlcn was engrossed com pletely every moment, concluded this varied group. Baynard Sager, a violinist, a pu pil of Marguerite McManus at the O. S. C. School of Music, who as sisted on this splendid program, received a distinct portion of the evening's favor. His first number was Handel's "Sonata in A Major." a lengthy and difficult piece which received full justice under the bow of Mr. Sager. His tones were at all times pleasing. A lively little selection, "The Smugglers' Song" contrasted viv idly with the following number, "In the Moonlight" (Haile). "The Last Hour" (Kramer) did not satisfy the enthusiastic audi ence which demanded an encore. To the delight of the assemblage, many of whom had audibly ex pressed the hope that be would sing the song whlcu wca Tor him second place in the national audi tion, Mr. Rdy sang the beautiful melody, "Hills of Home." The song seemed particularly well suited to Mr. Roy's expressive voice and the singer, himself, appeared to enjoy it. "I Heard You Go By" was given as a second encore in response to the insistent plaudits of the audi ence. Mr. Roy was extremely fortun ate in his accompanist. Professor Paul Petri, head of the voice de partment at O. S. C. The direct un derstanding made possible by Pro fessor Petri between the voice and its instrumental support was at all times in evidence. Mr. Sager's second group in cluded "Romance" ( Wieniawski) ; Kreisler's "Liebeleid" and "Valse Trlste" (Sibelius.) These numbers a'l of them particularly well-cho sen, were played with artistic as surance and brilliant technique. Kreisler's "Leibeleid," beautiful as are all compositions by this re nowned violinist, was especially pleasingln the delicacy and soft ness of the shaded phrasings. The music lovers in attendance were so pleased with Mr. Sager's playing that they Insisted on an encore, Mr. Sager complying with "Oriental."

Unless the stadeat coun cils of the Medford and Ashland schools pledge that there will be no more egg. riots following ath letic contests, and the student councils of both schools assume the responsibility, there will be no further trouble the athletic rela tions between the two schools will be severed, it was announced by school authorities this afternoon. A meeting of the school coun cils and coaches and superintend ents will be held in the morning for a final decision. In the event of the severance of relations, the question of what team will represent this district in the state basketball tournament will be left to the state board of control. Medford won the two games of the four game cham pionship series.
