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.

EXTENSION MONITOR
IN THIRTEENTH YEAH
*
Issue Contains Articles By
!
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.”

Clower. “The quota plan is un
sound, illogical and out of beeping
with the public opinion of the
United States.”
“The negative says that racial
homogeneity must be maintained.”
said Beatrice Mason in rebuttal for
the affirmative, “but how can only
146 Japanese greatly affect this.”
The duty of the United States I
does not end, said Miss Clower in;
rebuttal, when Japanese arrive here !
because they settle in colonies and ■
create a grave economic problem.
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.

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

its use, and the value and purpose
