World of Sports Edited by Wilbur Wester (The following weekly features are printed in the Emerald, as indicated: Tuesday, Lemmy’s Ghost, Society; Wednesday, Art, Drama, Music; Thursday, Poetry; Friday, World of Sports; Saturday, Library Browsings. Contributions for any of these columns may be left in the Emerald Box at the circulation desk in the University Library, or at the Editor’s office.) Should the Oregon basketeers win their remaining game this week; that is to defeat the Wash ington five at Seattle, it will be necessary for Oregon to play off the tie with the Aggies. The Pacif ic Coast conference rules specify that in the ease of a tie, that a series of three games be played on a neutral floor. Floors available for a champion ship series, include the Multnomah club floor at Portland and the Wil lamette university floor at Salem. The Multnomah floor is really bet ter than the Aggie or Oregon floors. Another point in favor of this place is the fact that a fair sized crowd could witness these tilts, inasmuch as an estimated capacity of the Sa lem gym is about 2000 fans. However, should Billy Reinhart and the team consent to the idea that the games be played at Cor vallis, the series could be held there. (Nevertheless it should be stipu lated in the agreement that Oregon rooters be given a better place to sit than the customary “50” seat space in the back of the balcony). This week-end, the University athletic teams participate in an un usual number of events. On Fri day, the frosh basketeers play Washington high school from Port land, here. On Saturday the var sity swimming team competes at home. The Lemon Yellow Quin tet meets Washington at Seattle on Saturday. Oregon’s frosh and var sity wrestling teams will meet O. A. C.’s team at Corvallis Monday afternoon and evening. • • • Followers of sport will soon turn their thoughts to baseball again, j The various college teams will start practicing within the next three weeks. Work has already begun at Oregon. The varsity hurlers and receivers have been holding nightly practice in the outdoor annex of the men’s gym. The call for all pros pects will probably be issued im mediately after the conference bas ketball title is issued. William Eeinhart will be the head coach and with his corps of assistants will whip a creditable aggregation in shape for the open ing tilt with Pacific university, to be held here April 24. * » * Jack Pempsey, king of the world heavyweight pugilists, and a re cent bridegroom, sometime ago an nounced that he was through yrith the ring. Whether he will defend his title against the winner of the Harry Wills-Tommy Gibbons battle: is a question. However it is known that Dempsey broke his ring re tirement which he announced be fore his marriage to Estella Taylor, the actress. Asserting a desire to rid himself of fat that had started to take the place of muscle, the champ went through a workout Wednesday, for the first time in several months, shadow-boxing, wrestling a bit, sparring in broken stretches a total of 12 rounds. The title holder stat ed that other than a desire to return to physical fitness, there was no significance in his resumption of training. He weighed 205 pounds after the workout. It may be true that Jack is looking forward to a championship bout that will net him another fortune. The outcome re mains to be seen. • • • Joe Benjamin, who won the Pa cific Coast lightweight champion ship from Jack Silver in San Fran cisco last Monday, surprised the followers of the fistic game by coming out of his shell and really putting up a wonderful exhibition of boxing. Many sport icritics say that Benjamin, who by the way is a protege of Jack Dempsey, could be lightweight champion if he would take boxing more seriously and not think of his beautiful face. By Pete Laurs. Another doughnut athletic event will terminate with the final hand ball game this afternoon between Sigma Nu and the winner of the Oregon club and Sigma Pi Tau con- j test. The winning team of this final contest will be acclaimed champion in this division. Doughnut athletics are delegated for the purpose of exciting inter est in athletics of the majority of students on the campus besides, giv ing them necessary competitive ex perience and fulfilling their de sire for combat. Under this heading practically all phases of athletic events are cov ered. such as basketball, wrestling, handball, track, baseball, and swim ming. Announcements are sent to the various organizations in regard to the rules covering the entrance of teams and covering all details necessary for participation, by the office of the physical education de partment. So far between twelve and twen tv organizations have placed full I teams in each sport. This shows the intense interest taken in ath letics at the University. These sports tend to serve a sec ondary purpose also -which gives the students an idea of the intri cate details of the various athletic events indulged in by the varsity and freshman teams. By L. G. * * * The youth of the country again came to the fore last Saturday in Santa Barbara, California, when Davy Martin, aged 14 and a few months, won the club championship of the Montecito Golf club, defeat ing C. W. Hauge of the LaSumbre club by 3 up and 2 to play. By this feat young Davy can now lay claim to being the youngest Country club champion in the United States and probably the world. Davy is said to have started playing golf a couple of years ago, learning as a caddy and after mastering the principles, joining a club. Shumaker’s Cabin Houses Odd Collection of Many Antiques From Civil War (Continued from page one) hair tail at the other, which was used for quietly "knocking ’em out.” Bavonetes, snowshoes, cutlasses, a Turkish coffee pot, and an opium pipe can only he cited as examples of the articles which have been gathered from opposite ends of the earth and now hang together, their days of service over but breathing to one who looks at them, memories of activity and association with far away lands and strange, weird peo ple. A Holland gin jug, a brandy de canter, wicker-covered demi-johns, an English beer jug, are also ob jects that have outlived their use fulness and yet, could they speak, they might tell of convivial feasts or jovial gatherings, at which they played no small part. A collection of old china is also a feature of the place. A willow ware plate lies in juxtaposition to a cheap imitation, gathered as a souvenir. Of course the place would not be complete without a fireplace. Mr. Shumaker says he sometimes uses the fireplace for cooking, although there is a gas stove in the kitchen. The iron tea-kettle which hangs -on the crane was brought across the plains, many years ago. A pet snake lives in back of the fireplace, Mr. Shumaker says, and occasionally comes out to catch a field mouse for dinner. There is also a bull pup around the cabin, so there is no lack of company. The cabin is sometimes used as a meeting place for Ye Tabard Inn, writers’ fraternity, and is often made an informal meeting place for some of the boys who find an at traction and a companionship about the place and its owner that makes fot a feeling of ease and good fellowship. They sit around and talk in front of the fireplace, read, study, pop corn, or play the phonograph. Incidentally the rec ords for the phonograph compose probably one of the finest sets on the campus.. “The boys know they don’t have to be on their dignity here,” said Mr. Shumaker. “I’m glad to have them and they know it, but there’s no formal politeness. When I want them to go, I kick them out.” The story of the cabin would not be complete unless the ghost was mentioned. It is not surprising that such a place, with its old tra ditions and the ancient objects making up the various collections, should have a ghost. Mr. Shumaker has never seen or heard the ghost, but he is confident there is one. We are rather inclined to think, however, that it is not a malicious ghost or one seeking revenge, but rather a watchful and beneficient spirit, overlooking the welfare of the queer old place and seeing that its atmosphere of comradship and good feeling, with a certain respect for the historical associations of the cabin, is not violated. Oregon Defeats Idaho In Speedy Game, 26 to 24; Tight Defense Is Shown (Continues from page one) second period when Greene, Idaho guard, scored on another foul by Jost, bringing the count to 14 all. Nedros stepped in again with a free throw on Gillenwaters foul to tie the score at 22, with three min utes to play. Another field goal was scored by Okerberg,' who was fouled in the attempt to throw for the basket by Nedros. Okerberg converted the free throw. Oker berg scored the Web foot’s final tal ly, when he converted Nedro’s per sonal. Fight Is Bitter Jost was replaced in the second half by Gillenwater when the for mer was taken out on personals. The fight was one of the bitterest either team has played during the season. This leaves Oregon with a chance to tie Oregon Aggies for first place in the conference, the only obstacle being Washington, whom the Webfeet meet at Seattle, Saturday night.
