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.

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.

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.

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. Idaho was thrown
out of the running for second place
with this defeat.
