Webfoot By RICHARD H. STRING Sports Editor A'ot too much lias been said atiout the University of Oregon’s basket ball prospects. Coach Billy Rein hart has been letting other people blow the horn which hasn’t ren dered an any too optimistic tune thus far. According to the pre season predictors the Webfoot bas keteers will finish the hoop season at the bottom or near the last rung ^ of the conference ladder. Right now it would be folly for anyone to say that Oregon will have just as good a basketball team as last year. A'o one knows. The Lemon-yellow casaba artists are in the formative stage right now and will be so until the middle of the schedule. It has been pointed out that Oregon is right where it was three years ago when the gradua tion of such basketccrs as Latham, Shafer, Chapman and others left Reinhart holding the sack, so to speak, in regard to experienced players. It was the season of 1925 that saw Jerry Gunther, Roy Oker berg and Swede Westergren begin their varsity careers. Okerberg was a green, inexperienced player who had had difficulty in making the third freshman team. Gunther’s basketball ability had never exert ed itself before. Westei'grcn was the only one of the trio who came with the reputation of all all-state player. •<lf The season of 1925 not only saw a fairly good team, but Reinhart’s charges tied the Oregon Aggies for Northwest honor only to lose by one .point in the three-game play-off. The hoop years of 1920 and 1927 saw the Webfoots win the Northwest gonfalon only to lose to California in the coast championship series. The one joker in the pessimistic ‘ predictors’ forecast is that Coach Reinhart isn’t dealing with new, green material. True, he has but two lettermen to work with but members of the super-varsity are all experienced players. All haven’t had enough varsity experience, but a good many hours have been used up in playing basketball. Hoop artists like Clare Seallon, Ray Ed uards, Mervyn Chastain, Don Mc Cormick, Dave Epps, Bernard Ilum Sportoseope HI INI rni ini nn ini nn m m rm m r mm m m m m m fTH Hal 173 Pr31 1 DeNeffes The Gift Store for Men Gifts Selected at this store assure that degree of quality and style that well dressed men insist upon when doing their own shopping.

A greater portion of the above were selected cm mythical all-state quintets. * * ♦ This year’s quintet will see a team demonstrating better team .nvonk tliaiu last year. The case of Gunther, Westergren, and Oker ' berg was one that any coach would overlook. Such stars as these must be given a starting play but then | allowed to resort to the style which made them stars. Thus in summing up the prospects it eau be seen <hat Oregon will have a much bet ter basketball team than most poo ple expect. Tt will probably not exceed the 1927 quintet but will be j one that by the middle of the sea- ! son will be mighty hard to beat. George Bertz, sporting editor of the Oregon Journal, tries to explain : the reason for the small crowds at collegiate football games in i’ort- I land. He acknowledges the fact | that Portland isn't a college town, but then goes on to blame the foot- | ball teams of the state: "In the j gecond place, neither the University I The Folks Will Buy A Remington Portable Just suggest that you want it to be a Remington and the folks are sure to buy for it is the smallest and lightest port able with a standard keyboard.

Mr. Bert/ is unfair in his criti cism of Oregon teams. How can he expect schools much smaller than those, he mentions to compete with larger schools? Perhaps the state of Oregon can be blamed for the poor football teams. Just take a glance at the high schools of the state that have a. fully equipped physical education department. True, the state school laws require certain portion of' the students’ time devoted to physical exercise but how many high schools live up to it? Compare the athletic equipment, accommodations, salaries of the coach and other items resorted to to train athletes to that of California.
