Dick Smith and 1 900 Team ❖-——--——--O Back row—Redman, Wadell, L. Goodrich, Smith, Karsber, Star, R. Goodrich. Row next to back—Stubling, Jakeway, Zeigler, Thurston, Wagner, Bush. Front row—Gorrell, Payne, Scott and Watts. Bradley, as mascot. The team in the above picture in which Dick Smith played halfback, accomplished a feat that stamped it as a leading Pacific Coast eleven when it defeated California "2-0. In the days of 1900, there was no mod ern facilities for the aid and com fort of football men. A football locker room was unknown, and a hot shower was only available to one or two men, as a tiny little water heater heated only a few gallons of water. Each day, the players would be forced to put on wet and muddy suits, as during the season a player generally never had the opportunity to dry out his one football suit. Eollowing are the standings of the six highest individual scorers in the Pacific Coast basketball conference: F.G. F.T. Total Hidings, O. A. C.58 5 63 Hesketh, Wash.42 4 46 Ilhnan, Mont.38 8 46 Okerb'erg, Ore.30 10 40 Hale, Wash.36 4 40 Anderson, Wash.28 8 36 The reason that Red Hidings is now temporarily leading the scor ing list is the fact that the Aggies have played eight coast conference games, while Oregon and Washing ton have participated in but five conference contests. Okerberg heads the list for the greatest number of free throws, with 10 points to his credit. Washington leads the conference for the number of points scored with 182. The Aggies are second with 178, while Oregon is third with 162 points. • * * With the freshman coaching posi tion left open by the appointment of “Baz” Williams as varsity line mentor, University athletic direc tors are now faced with the prob lem of finding a suitable leader for the Yearlings. The importance of this position is evidenced by the fact that two recent Frosh coaches are now oc cupying varsity coaching positions. Billy Reinhart, versatile athletic mentor, is now coaching in three major sDorts. Reinhart is basket ball, baseball and assistant football coach. Besides these three posi tions, any one of which is normally filled by one man, Billy is teach ing several physical education classes. “Baz” Williams will be line coach both in the spring and fall. Both these men have risen from the ranks of frosh football coaches. Therefore if high positions in the athletic department are to be filled by recruits from the feshman coach ing job, it is highly important that the University authorities exercise considerable care and judgment in whom they select as Williams’ suc cessor. If an Oregon graduate da select ed as Frosh coach, and it is highly probable that this will be the case, then it is interesting to note the success of one recent Oregon gradu ate. This man is Moe Sax, quar terback on the varsity eleven last year. It is really unnecessary to cite the brilliant record that Sax made as Lincoln high school coach last year. His record in developing a national championship football team in one season is outstanding. Yesterday. Moe Sax left for Stan ford, where he will attempt to learn some more points on the grid game from Glenn Warner, during the Cardinals’ spring practice. This: Is a factor that has aided Sax to succeed—he is always willing to learn. Sax is one of several Ore gon alumni that could ably handle the frosh job, and if necessary fill the vacancy that might be created in the future by a resignation of some man on' the varsity coaching staff. However, it is generally known that the athletic directors of the University are looking for a man that can coach three sports; Frosh football, baseball and basketball. This would undoubtedly eliminate Moe Sax as an aspirant. The re maining candidates that could fill the job, would be “Spike” Leslie. Leslie is now coaching out at Eu gene high school and making a creditable record. It is rumored about that “Prink” Callison is al so being considered as a candidate. But if the University authorities want an all-around frosh coach, Spike Leslie is probably the out standing applicant from the author ities’ view-point. Since the world’s heavyweight wrestling championship title passed from “Strangler” Lewis to “Big” Munn the interest in wrestling has been revived. Sport followers up to this time had little interest in the game as the title was kept by three mein, “Strangler” Lewis, Lew is Stecker, and Stanlius Zbyszko. When Nunn, the former college ath lete, defeated the “Strangler” and the monopoly of the title was brok en. To prove that the fans are tak ing more interest either in the sport or in the new champion was shown during the rfcent title bout between Munn and Zbyszko, held in Kan sas City. Over 12,000 people packed the arena. If Lewis and the Pole had been matched not more than %000 fans would have attended. This shows that “Big” Munn the bonecrusher, has pleased the fans when he copped the .title from the “Strangler.” * * * Since Oregon’s victory over Ida ho and the defeat by O. A. C. the fans on the campus have also taken more interest in wrestling. Al though the varsity did lose to the Aggies the meet was contested and on a more even basis than in pre vious years. A wrestling team is not built in a year and through the efforts of Coach Widmer the var-' sitv should have a team next year that will put in a strong bid for: the coast titio. Carrol Ford, Oregon’s 125-pound-; er, has shown in the two meets, that ] he will give some of the amateur, title holders a real tussle, if he enters the Pacific Coast champion ships, which will be held in Port- ^ land soon. Nixon, of O. A. C., one' of the best grapplers, bowed to1 Ford in the meet last Saturday. PETE LAUKS. SPORTWRITERS TO SELL SCANDAL SHEET TONIGHT Swat for Swat!

I Mrs. Mable E. McClain i “Among the New Books by Mable E. McClain, is the important article in the new issue of the ex tension division Monitor. “With this issue the Monitor enters upon its thirteenth year of service to the students of the extension division,” said Mozelle Hair, editor. Mrs. McClain’s article, written by one who has made a study of books her life work, is a discussion on some of the modern master | pieces in literature which are now I available in book stores and librar ! ies. Since Mrs. McClain has been ; a desk librarian in the University J library for years she lias been in a | position to select and criticise the cream of the books that come from the publisher. In urging books in the home fori j the children, Mrs. McClain ad ' vances the argument that books lay the basis for life. They present human nature in its essence. She pointed out that Teddy Roosevelt attributed his success to a page in one of Henry M. Stanley’s vol umes. “It kindled his faith and fixed his will to be the man he ! finally became,” writes Mrs. Mc Clain in the Monitor. Several new classics are discussed by the University reference librar ian in her article. “Beasts, Men and Gods,” by Dr. Ossendowski, a chronical of his escapes from the reds in Siberia, is among the books discussed by Mrs. McClain. In sci ence for the layman she tells about a book by Ludwig Lewisohn, “The Creative Life.” “Mencken will call forth many a feminine scream of rage or masculine grunt of disap proval by his book, “In Defense of Women,” in the opinion of the auth-j or of the article. “The Peasant” by Reymont, which won the nobel prize, is among the books in fiction recommended by Mrs. McClain. "Children of the Age,” by Knut Hanssun, ,is a book having Scandinavia as its back ground. In Germany, Wasserman’s “The World’s Illusion” is attract ing considerable attention. In Eng land, Galsworthy’s “The White Monkey” has been attracting con siderable attention. Walpole’s “The Old Ladies” and Miss Sin clair’s “Arnold Waterlow” and “The Green Hat,” by Michael Ar len, are among the outstanding books in the British Isles. In this country there is “The Avalanche,” by Earnest Poole, “The Little French Girl,” by Anne Sedgwick, and “So Big,” by Edna Ferber, are i among the most popular. Mrs. Mc Clain also discussed books on art1 and artists, as well as biographies. The Monitor for this issue con- j tains “Bialogue Studies” by stu-1 dents in feature writing. These dialogues are by the members of I the feature writing class, being the I result of an assignment given- by the instructor. "A Lull in the Storm” is the title of an English assignment writ ten by one of the correspondence students. The editor of the Moni tor thought it was so good, accord | ing to her statement, that she thought it worth running in the Monitor. It appeals to prac tically every one of the senses. There is a short article on the two summer sessions to be held this summer from June 22 to July 31, in Eugene and Portland. “The Friendly Spirit,” and “The Key to Progress” are the captions on the two editorials. There is an article on “Study Periods.” Women Debators Lose Contest With 0. A. C.

Because other nations have set! the precedent of exclusion, it is not a logical reason for the United States to tafce similar action, stated Miss Bateman in her rebuttal. “Assimilation is the foremost problem,” said Miss Fairchild in return rebuttal. “Economics de- j mand that immigration laws be I tested by assimilation possibilities.” Tn her final rebuttal Miss Bate man stated that sociologists do not consider assimilation a pertinent I question in regard to non-assimila- j tive race, and as for monopolising! land, only 1-6 of 1 per cent of land i jin California is owned by Japanese. “As a final answer, the exclu sion bill may cause an undesirable diplomatic effect in the world as ■ evidenced by alliances made,” sho i said. ! YELLOW SLICKER CLAIMED AFTER TRIP TO SEATTLE The lost is found. The mys terious yellow slicker that came clear from Seattle to the lost and found department has been claimed by one of the masculine students. However, the mystery is still as great, for the owner has no idea |how it ever found its way to Seattle and back. This is another conundrum that will probably never be solved unless one wishes to accept Mr. Fisher’s theory that some Washington stu dent down for the game didn’t like the wet weather Eugene afforded at that time, and decided to borrow the slicker until he had returned to good old Washington climate.

CATHOLIC RELIGION SUBJECT OF ADDRESS Rev. E. V. O’Hara Explains Popular Prejudices The fundamentals of tho Cathol ic church and religion were dis cussed by Rev. Edwin V. O’Hara, priest of the Eugene Catholic church, in his talk on “Catholic Christianity” in Alumni hall Wed nesday evening. The name “Roman Catholic,” he explained, has a double signifi-t cance: it was called Roman in vir tue of having its center at Rome, and Catholic because of its univer sality. The traditional authority of the church as being based on the charge of Christ to Peter, who became the first bishop of Rome, was reviewed.

Among these ho included the misinterpretation of tlio belief in the infallibility of the Pope. The infallibility, he explained, ex tended merely to his position as interpreter of tradition and history; in such things, the Pope is the fin-j nl authority and it is in that cap acitv that he is considered infal lible. The place and purpose of the various types of prayer, the Catho lic attitude toward the Bible and its use, and the value and purpose of the confessional were some of the subjects explained.
