NEW BASKETBALL SHOE
DESIGNED GY MENTOR
Coach William R e i n h a r 1
Creates New Model
What constitutes one of the
greatest worries of. a basketball
coach, that of caring for the feet
of the pleyers, has been partially
overcome by the efforts of William
“Billy” Reinhart, well-known var
sity maple court mentor.
With this as his aim, this versa
tile coach, worked in cooperation
with a rubber company and after
many and varied attempts created
a shoe which he thinks will over
dome foot strain caused by the
pounding on the floor.
“Basketball players who work
out to any great extent usually are
troubled from flat1 feet, broken
arches or hardening of cords,” he
said. “Knowing that this works
a handicap on the player who must
start and stop with suddenness, I
tried to work out a new shoe which
will help strengthen the footing be
sides placing the strain on the en
tire foot and not. on the heel or
toe.”
The first outstanding change in
the style of the former basketball
shoe made by coach Reinhart |was
the building up of an arch support.
This support extends from the heel
to the ball of the foot and also
has a padded heel to cause a slight
spring and relieve the body from
the sudden stopping movement.
Short strips of rubber are sewed
up eah side of the shoe which are
used in binding the shoe to the
foot and serving as an ankle brace.
Several changes were made in the
toe of the shoe. The tongue is
placed near the surface and termin
ates before reaching the end of the
shoe. In this manner the wrinkling
of the toe is eliminated. The la
cing is another factor which is im
proved. The shoe is so shaped that
the laces can be pulled tight mak
ing the shoe fit snugly around the
instep which takes some of the
floree in stopping from the toes.
The back of the shoe is made in
a one-piece compact manner, cut
shorter than formerly, and does
away with the cord binding. It
also protects the ankle bones to a
greter extent.
The sole of the shoe is vulcan
ized to the upper part and in this
manner it is impossible to pull it
loose. This has another purpose,
in that if the playeer continues to
make sudden stops and turns the
sole will not slip, causing him to
upset.
This newly designed shoe will be
used by the Oregon varsity this
year and will receive its first sea
son of active use.
The probability of its helping to
prevent foot trouble among the
players will be watched by many
sport followers and coaches through
out the conference.
TWO DESIGN POSITONS
IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
• _
Two members of the University
son, head of the order department,
and Mass Evelyn Foster of the refer
ence department, have sent in their
resignations to take effect, November
1, according to M. H. Douglass,
librarian. Miss Stephanson has ac
cepted a position, similar to the
one she holds here, in the public
library of Spokane, and Miss Foster
will go to Cleveland, Ohio, to ac
cept a position in the faculty of the
Western Eeserve Library School for
College Graduates. Successors have
not been appointed by the board of
regents.
Students are calling for histories
and literature books, especially
those containing essays and biog
raphies, more than for any other
kind, said Mr. Douglass. He could
not explain the demand unless it
could be that these are the courses
calling for most outside study.
Since the new system, which is now
in use in the reserve section, has
been installed, a tally book has been
kept of the number of tim|es a book
is called for so that the order de
partment can tell whether there are
enough copies of the books in re
serve. The efficiency of this sys
tem is being proved, said Mr. Doug
lass.
Since last year, one new desk has
been installed for use in the Eng
lish and history reserve rooms. This
calls for a few extra workers, said
the librarian.
There are about thirty-five stu
dents employed in the University
library, Mr. Douglass Btated.

CONSERVATIVE FOOTBALL
Conservative football is the kind that will be played by
every major contending football team on the coast this year
with the exception of Idaho. Coach Bob Mathews at the Gem
State University since his employment there as head football
coach, has had particular success with the forward pass—he
has threatened every team he has played, with a forward pass
attack that at times took the strongest contenders on the coast
completely off their feet. But in spite of Mathews and Clipper
Smith at Gonzaga, another “advanced” in football, the general
systems to be used this year are conservative. So prepare your
self for off-tackle plays, end runs, center line bucks, short
passes, and kicking, for that’s the football that you will see in
the majority of the games. Oregon will be very conservative.

ST. MARY’S FOOTBALL TEAM
Pour years on a football team—that is unusual in this day
and age of collegiate sport. Down at St. Mary’s a coach has
a team of four-year veterans—men whom he has drilled in team
play for four years. Slip Madigan, head coach, in consequence
has the smoothest working football team in California—and
that is not excepting California. The three-year rule was not
in force at St. Mary’s when these men were freshmen as it is
now. Over half of the men on the team have played their
positions for four years.
That team plays Multnomah in Portland and if you want to
see the essence of perfection in a football team, and a precision
of movement that no college team now can get then is the
time to see it. Multnomah is due for a bad trouncing.

SPORTS WRITERS AND OREGON
The crop of sports writers increases at Oregon. Three
authorities on football covering the entire United States have
visited Oregon and from all we can gather they are going away
well pleased and with a better conception of Oregon football.
First came Lawrence Perry, of the New York World and Con
solidated Press, who was handicapped by seeing a dull lifeless
scrimmage in the rain, but who was impressed nevertheless.
Next L. H. Gregory, of the Oregonian, who must keep his neu
tral position, although he was surprised by the turnout and its
quality. George T. Davis of the San Francisco Bulletin, about
the most influential writer in the bay district, who was enthu
siastic about Oregon’s team and Oregon’s coaches—saw both
work to perfection. Oregon is getting on the map.
THE MODERN SCOUT
Coach Bob Mathews acted as his own scout last Saturday.
Shoe shine and all he sat high up On the new grandstand where
anyone could see him. After the game he talked with the
coaches. That takes all the mystery out of scouting. It is a
long time since the scouts acted like stool pigeons and sneaked
around muffled up in overcoats with darkened glasses. Now
it’s open and above board.

GONZAGA—0. A. C.
The Gonzaga-Oregon Aggie clash next Friday afternoon is
going to make or break the Aggie team. There is a lot of power
in the big Beaver eleven and if they can show enough speed to
defeat Clipper Smith's rushing, passing team with all of its
modernness in football, they will have something to* hop them
up for the rest of the season. The victory over Willamette
by a huge score was a hollow victory for Schissler’s men.
There’s harder sledding ahead. The game will feature con
servative football against the most advanced.
