Outcome of Frosh-Rook Tilt Tomorrow Night inDoubi Hard Struggle Is Faced By FroshQuintet Dope bucket Offers Little Consolation to Either Yearling Five Coach Leslie Satisfied With New Combination Walgren-Lillie * May Start Against Rooks Tomorrow • night in McArthur Court the Oregon freshmen and the Aggie rooks are scheduled for a basketball argu ment that bids i: fair to be of an § sxtrcmely fervid | nature. j If you are cur- G Ions to knoiv who !i will come out of j t li e preliminary j scramble ou top !; of the heap—flip f your own coins— I pour guess is as good as any. Spike Leslie It looks like six will get you lialf a dozen. In other words, the re flection from the dope “crystal” says the two yearling quintets are pretty nearly balanced—neither has any perceptible edge that could warrant more than average confi dence in the outcome. Spike Leslie is expecting his frosh to have a very active evening •—and if they ar<?“on” for this game a duckling victory would not in the least “flabergast” his mentorship. New Shifts Please Coach He is satisfied with the new com bination that he has formed since last Saturday. With Jerome Lillie and Cliff Horner at forward posts, Paul Walgren and Harold Olinges at guards, and Gene Eberhart, cen ter, ho believes that he has hit upon his most effective arrangement. On reserve -lie has Woodward Archer, Ed Stoddard, and Ed Dvorak, who can relieve the for wards without any apparent lessen ing of the quintet’s strength. A1 Makinen can go in at either forward or guard. Calkins, Will, Pahl, Ad dison, Eubenstein, and Yerkovitch are among other hoopers he can call on. Jerome Lillie and^Paul Walgren are two new cagers who have been showing progress lately, according to the coach. Lillie is known to fans for his football activities, most notable among his late gridiron achievements was the “bounce pass” play used against the Washington frosh eleven last term on Hayward, wherein the smiling Lillie galloped for a touchdown. *• Walgren is developing into a very efficient guard. He can usually be depended upon to take care of his assignment. He, plays more of a safety game and leaves most of the point getting to his teammates. Comparative Scores Listed In looking for dope on the frosh* rook tilt the only comparisons avail able are taken from the scores of the two quintets against their only two common opponents, the Wash ington frosh, and Salem high. The scores are as follows: Aggie rooks, 22; Salem Hi, 13. Aggie rooks, 30; Salem Hi, 26. Aggie rooks, 28; Wash, frosh, 31. —and— Ore. frosh, 32; Salem Hi, 27. Ore. frosh, 24; Wash, frosh, 32. Both squads beat Salem high and both were drubbed 'by the. Wash ington freshmen. Now what do you say is the dope? One of the rooks who should get particular attention from the duck ling five tomorrow night is Ballard, forward. ne has been the best point getter for the Orange young sters all season. In the Washington defeat he outpointed Yerg Perry of the babe team, 13 to 12. Mack, another forward; Macleod, center, and Drager, guard, are three other young rooks who have been consistently starring for Slats Gill’s Aggie yearling quintet. The frosh game will be a pre liminary to the Webfoot-Beaver var sity feature. Last night the frosh scrimmaged among themselves, but today’s practice will consist of only a light workout, as Spike,wants his proteges to “save their stuff” for tomorrow evening. ART STUDENTS Linoleum Blocks, Inks, Bronze, Etc. Eugene Printing Co. Guard Bldg.—1047 Will. Independents Reign In Mit-Slinging Art That leather-pushing, glove-shoving sport of fisticuffs seems to be too much for fraternity men. As in wrestling, so in boxing, the Inde pendents hold the upper-hand. Hovers work cut every afternoon in the boxing room of the men’s gym i n.asium under Herman Gawer, in structor, and only about two in ten are fraternity men. ■ Foxing is an intramural sport, and the tournament will start the 20th of this month. So far the Inde pendents have had no competition. Gawer says that he allows no knockouts or roughneck tactics so anyone may come up in safety and learn the gentle art of self-defense. U. S. C. Track Coach Thinks Career More Luck Than Anything LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.—P. I. P. —Derm Bartlett Cromwell, for tlie past 19 years track coach at the University of Southern California here, developer of two I. C. 4-A championship track and field out fits, and recently appointed a coach of the 1928 United States Olympic, team, believes that his career is more a matter of luck than anything else. Cromwell, who played football and sprinted both for and against Southern California as a student here and at Occidental College, was employed in the contract department of a local telephone company when he was drafted as a “temporary” track coach by George Finley Bo vard, President-Emeritus of the Uni versity. While he was employed for a period of only a year, Crom well has been coaching Trojan traclcsters for the past 19 years. During that 19 years, Southern 'California’s “Cheerful Dean,” has developed a string of sectional, na tional and world’s champions that n^kes track critics believe that while Cromwell may not be the “Commanding General ”of track af fairs in the United States, Bovafrd Field, where the Trojans train, is at least the general headquarters. Starting with Fred Kelly, who came to Southern California when Cromwell came back to it in 1908, the Trojans have always had some sort of champion lurking about the place. The list includes Kelly, Southern California’s first Olympic champion, who won the 110 meter high hurdles at Stockhold in 1912; Charley W. Paddock, winner of the 100 meter dash in 1920; George “Speck” Schiller, -who placed in the 400 meter run and Roy “Swede” Evans, who represented the United States in the discus throw at that year’s meeting in Antwerp. In 1924, at Paris, L. Clarence “Bud” Houser, won the shot put and set a new Olympic record in the discus throw; Norman “Swede the Second” An derson, placed in the shot put; Mor ton Kaer placed in the pentathlon; Earle Wilson competed in the hop, step and jump and Otto Anderson was a competitor in the decathlon. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Feb. 2 — (P.I.P.)—It has been estimated that more than 50 per cent of the stu dents attending Whitman College pay their bills by outside work. Nearly every occupation is repre sented on the campus. The butcher, baker, and candle-stick maker are among those present. Only since the making of candles has become unprofitable, has man begun exten sive work in the electrical store. The college itself employs many in its services. There are those who work in the offices, some as laboratory assistants, others as tu tors, and a few in the college li brary. Many of the students work in the stores downtown and cafes. Golf To Become Minor Sport in Spring Season Daily Instruction Given In Scotch Game at Old Gymnasium Golf, heretofore 01. y occasionally1 an intercollegiate sport at this Uni versity, may attain the rank of an accredited minor sport with official University sanction this spring, if present plans go through, said Bob Giffen, golf mentor, at the men’s gymnasium today. Dates and sched ules for various meets are being ar ranged by Jack Benefiel, graduate manager. There will be at least one match with O. S. C., states Giffen, and one with the University of Washington, the latter on Eugene links. Some time in April a two-man team will trek southward to play in the Pacific coast conference tournament, which will be held on the links of the San Francisco country club. The annual Northwest conference golf ers meet will bo held at the date and place of the Northwest confer ence track meet. A number of fairway followers of promise are in .training regularly at the indoor golfing green in the men’s gymnasiums Among these are Don Moe, Ed Crowley, Isaac Staples and Bob Giffen, all of whom have demonstrated their prowess in championship matches. Last year Ed Crowley and Lloyd Byerly won the Northwest intercollegiate title at the conference tournament held in Corvallis in May. Byerly is not in school this year and will not de fend his title, but Crowley and some one of the green-tee contenders of Oregon’s growing group, probably Giffen, will be able to furnish a high grade of opposition. Anyone on the campus who would like to learn the ancient game of golf, or who would like to improve his style of play and keep in con dition for the approaching spring season of golfing activity, may re ceive individual instruction at the men’s gymnasium daily. Golf balls, clubs, back net and all necessary equipment are supplied by the phys ical education department. Faculty members are urged to avail them selves of this training, as well as the students. Girls of Pep Squad At Whitman Will Help Liven School Affairs WHITMAN COLLEGE, Feb. 2.— P. I. P.—A new organization lias been founded on the Whitman cam pus known as the Pep Squad. This squad consists of twenty-four girls, one from each class of each soror ity, which has been organized to aid the pep committees in backing the school activities. These girls will attend all games in masses dressed in white sweatees and skirts. Their duty will be to help with the songs and yells, also they will act as ushers at the games. It is thought that by $uch an or ganization the pep will be improved. Each year girls will be chosen to take the places of those who have left school, thus making the same number at all times. It is expected that this group will become a per manent organization of the campus. COLLEGIATES! SHOE SHINES in front of JIM THE SHOE DOCTOR 90 Embryo Grid Stars Turn Out at O. S. C. OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Fob. 2.—P. I. r.—More than ninety men turned out for a spring foot ball mooting called by Conch Paul Schissler on January 31. Prospects for a winning team next year arc excellent, the coach thinks. The heaviest schedule any team has un dertaken will be the test outlined for the Orange eleven next year. Coach Schissler ou|tlined the spring work and pointed out the need for experience. The squad will be divided into four teams with substitutes for each. These teams will be known as “Washington,” “California,” “Stanford,” and “Southern California.” The teams will play two games a week, and on other days will have passing, punting, dummy and regu lar scrimmage. This will afford actual game experience, Coach Schissler believes. Washington Huskies, Team Undefeated, Plan Missoula Battle UNIVERSITY OF WASHING TON, Feb. 2.—r. T. Pr-The Univer sity of Washington Huskies are an xiously awaiting the referee’s whis tle that will send them into battle against the University of Montana Grizzlies here Saturday night. They have met and defeated every con ference team except the Missoula quintet, and it is favored to add the Grizzlies to its string of beaten foes. The Huskies are the only unde fcated member of the Northern Di vision of the Pacific Coast confer ence as a result of their triumphal invasion of Oregon last week when they gave both Oregon State and the University of Oregon their initial losses of the season. These two victories placed Coach Hec Ed mundson’s basketeers on the inside track for tho championship. Inability of the Oregon State players to convert free throws gave the Purple and Gold its victory at Corviallis by the narrow margin of one point. The final score was 23 to 22. The Oregon game was featured by the excellent play of Percy Bol stad and Alfio James who were de ciding factors in the 24 to 17 Wash ington win. Tho Huskies took a 13 to 7 lead at the half and wore never in danger the rest of the game. Following this Saturday’s game, the Huskies will meet Waseda Uni versity of Tokyo, Japan, in a two game series the first of next week. Ccach Edmundson will then take his players east of tho mountains to play Montana, Idaho, Washington State and Whitman in quick succes sion. Washington is not expecting serious difficulty at Missoula or Pullman, but both tho Vandals and the Missionaries are feared on their own floors, and the Huskies will be fortunate to return without a loss.

Wilbur, head of the drama department, from an east ern play company which is interest ed in the work being carried on by the drama students of Oregon. “Your plans for this term sound intensely interesting. ‘It. IT, It.’ wlTI very likely have unusual stago sits. I hope you will send me a great many photographs of your productions so that I may choose some for the volume I am preparing for the New York publisher,” writes Clarence Stratton of Cleveland, Ohio.' Pictures of several summer school productions are being collected, and photographs of the coming plays, “It. U. It.” and “Lady Windemero’s Fan,” will be taken so that there will bo a selection of individual pictures, stage sets and costuming. “We feel highly complimented by the attention and interest Mr. Strat ton has paid us and the fact that our work is receiving recognition of eastern concerns is most oncour aging,” said Miss Wilbur. Miss Wilbur is recovering rapidly from a tonsil operation performed last Saturday, and she expects to be back with her classes within « few days. In the meantime, rehears als for “R. U. It.” and for “Lady Windemerc’s Fan,” are going on under tlio supervision of Constance Roth. Spring Football *• Practice Held on Muddy Gridiron Coach McEwnn Puts Line, Back field Through Stiff Workout Wobfoot football warriors mas saged a muddy field with their cleats last night. On a typical Homecom ing gridiron, mud from two to six inches deep, Captain John J. Me Ewan put his 19-8 squad through' an intensive practice on the frosh field. Blocking dummies fell before the terrific onslaught of mud-covered bodies in green and yellow jersies. The linemen charged at their can vas opponents with as much enthu siasm as they would have smeared an opposing tackle in a real game. ! Big lieavty men made bigger by j several coatings of mud, plunged at the dummies as if the biggest I game of the season was only a week j off instead of more than a half a • year away. The other half of the big turnout t were backfield men, who also were | going through the principles of the ! blocking game. Fundamentals were being stressed. Few pigskins were in evidence. | Lettcrmen, super-varsity men, ; and frosh, every class was repre ' seated. The field was good—for ducks—and the Webfoots wore right i at home. I Woods, varsity tackle, had in creased his weight considerably, be ing soaking wot and carrying two mud-covered suitcases. Woodie, varsity quarter, was there in his togs, too, nursing a slippery pig skin. Colbert, frosh tackle, came out a bit Into in a clean white sweatshirt. It went the ivay of the green and yellow jersies after the first long slide. The captain is pleased with tho spring turnouts and the enthusiasm with which the men are working.
