Big Battles in Gym
Bailey Bows to Moore
In Good Fight
By CIIAL NOOE „
Before at least a hundred fight
fans crowded in the boxing room of
the men’s gymnasium six final
bouts of tlio free lanee donut box
ing ^tournament were consummated
yesterday afternoon.
The final matches were three
rounds in length, but when Augusto
Espiritu and Philip. Carroll donned
the mits, punches landed ' so fre
quently and equally that the judges
could not decide. The fourth and
most torrid round of the match won
the 120-pound championship for Es
. piritu. Both bantams flew at each
* other with all the spirit of the fa
mous fighting, bantams of Mexico.
They kept Herman Gawer, referee,
skipping around dodging surplus
blows that connected with the air.
Technical Knockout
A couple of welters, Weber and
Knox, pushed leather for two and
one-half rounds when a straight
left from Knox incapacitated Web
er’s shoulder for the time being,
krotch and championship of 150
pound championship went to Knox
on a technical knockout. Knox’s
snake-like left played a tatoo on
Weber’s face throughout the time
they fought. When it flashed out
it landed. Weber weighed 155 and
Knox 145.
“Spider” Kelly, the pride of
Sigma Chi, took a drubbing from
Harvey Wright in the 165-pound '
class. These two fisticuff artists
went at it with the speed of fly
weights, with Wright’s gloved !
fists landing more frequently than
Kelly’s.
k Moore Wins
xjuu mump, vju r-si leatner-pusn
er, met with Sterling Bailey in the
130-pound class and defeated him '
by the' slightest of margins, so said j
the judges. Moore and Bailey came :
together in the first round and then,
too, Moore was victorious. Bailey
fought Wilkinson, defeating him,
thus giving him another crack at
Moore. These two scrappers did not
pull any punches, in fact they shot
them over at full speed.
Roommate Act Given
A farce was perpetuated. Jack
O’Keefe and Tom Chapman mingled
together administering love taps.
The two men weighed 135 and 136
respectively and punched as lightly
as they weighed. They were not '
roommates either. Jack is an. ex
perienced amateur boxer, in fact
too experienced to let his punches
lose. Tile match went to O’Keefe
on another slight decision.
Pat Gainer took the heavyweight
championship by a default. Herring
ton, his antagonist, could not be in
the ring yesterday.

Garbisch is the beau brummel
type of football p^yer who could
knock the eyes out of the feminine
i populace. He is about five fool
eleven inches tall and weighed but
' 174 pounds when selected On Waltei
j Camp’s mythical all-American elev'
en. His last year at West Point
found him the sensation of eastern
football circles. As captain of the
Army Cadets he led the West Point
eleven into battle with the Anna
polis Middies at Baltimore, Mary
land in 1924. It was the 27tli meet
ing of Uncle Sam’s two big mili
tary schools and what a meeting it
turned out to be. Finding that they
could not penetrate the line to a
good advantage Garbiseh dropped
back for seven tries at field goals
of which four wero good, and the
Army won, 12 to 0. He was never
more than six feet from the goal
post on the misses.
Although Garbiscli wasn’t overly
religious in his West Point days he
was dubbed the “Praying Captain.”
Before each grid contest he gathered
the team together and prayer was
given. Coach McEwan will vouch
for this story and last evening he
showed the writer a newspaper clip
ping which gave an account of a
short prayer rendered on the Balti
more field after the Army victory.
When asked why he prayed, Gar
biseh replied: “We prayed before
every game, not for victory, but
that' we might acquit ourselves like
men. Seeing we won this victory,
we could not help lout throw off our
helmets and thank God.”
Coach McEwan had many fine
things to say about Garbiscli. “He
was one of the best leaders I ever
saw,” said McEwan. “He got the
West Point team into a hard fight
ing mood. The psychology of his
prayer helped a good deal.”
Handballers Slow in
Playing Off Matches
In Singles, Doubles
Two more weeks of play remain
for the adherents to the handball
art. The two tournaments are yet
to be finished, the doubles and sin
gles. A crippled snail effect has
been predominent in the running off
of the matches.
For the last month, Heustis and
Gabriel have been resting peace
fully as champs of the upper half
of the doubles bracket. Down be
low them there is still a turmoil.
Bliss and Gawer vs. Scott and How
ard will be the contest that decides
the team to meet the upper division
boys. Cohn and Long seem to be
coming along at a good clip in the
consolation bracket.
The singles tourney is divided
into three parts. The three champs
will play a round robin tournament
to decide the championship. Howard
and Shaw are contending for the
right to play as champ of A division.
Heustis holds the B pennant and
Bliss has the championship of C
stuffed in his pocket.
The ladder has been upset and as
far as the ones on th# various rungs
are concerned it wasn’t much of a
catastrophe. There have been no
awe-inspiring changes as yet.

New Ordinance
Stops Parking
On Thirteenth
Fourteen Cars Tagged by
Traffic Officer Under
New Ruling
• Fourteen ears -were tagged yes
terday afternoon for -parking on
Thirteenth avenue between Onyx
and Kincaid streets. The new city
ordinance which prohibits parking
in that section of Thirteenth went
into effect at 12:01 a. m. yesterday.
This ruling was passed January 23
at the request of the University ad
ministration in the interest of the
students’ 'safety. It reads as fol
lows :
“It shall bo unlawful for the
driver of any vehicle to park or
leave standing upon Thirteenth ave
nue in the city of Eugene between
Onyx street and Kincaid street at
any time between 8 o’clock a. m.
and f> o’clock p. m. of each day such
vehicle.”
“No parking” signs were put up
Tuesday and warnings were printed
in the Eugene papers several times,
according to James Strait, chief of
police.
A special officer will be on duty
for several days until people are
accustomed to the new law, accord
ing to a report from the University
administration. The city of Eu
gene and the University have been
trying to work out a satisfactory
traffic regulation for about a year.
The new ordinance is believed by
both to be a satisfactory solution to
the problem. “Slow signs” will
soon be put up for the district from
Onyx street to the other side of
the Patterson school.
Handball Team Finds
Finances Bie Handicap
U. C. L. A., Los Angelos, Feb. 23.
—P. I. P.—Operating without offi
cial sanction or finances is vastly
unprofitable in the opinion of the
local handball team who made a
trip to Berkeley last week minus
both.
The members of the team with a
newly acquired minor sport rating
thought they would make a trip
north, but the Finance Board of the
Associated Students said “no.” Re
gardless of the official rebuff, the
team members wept north on their
any remunerative reward. The re
mise of fifty dollars to pay expenses
when they arrived. But the pro
mise- was of no avail for a Berkeley
manager had apparently stepped
outside of his jurisdiction in prom
ising the TJ. C. L. A. handballers
any renumerative reward. The re
sult was that the local boys re
turned home the following day with
uc money and much experience.
As a result of the episode,-the
A. S. U. C. council passed on a
ruling that no athletic team might
represent the University in any
sport unless they had the permis
sion of the Student Council and the
graduate manager.

the country,” said Mr. McClain yes
terday. “The universities of Cali
fornia, and in Portland and in Seat
tle have a water rate on freight
costs. The University of Oregon
has in addition, a one hundred mile
haul that appreciably diminishes the i
close margin of profit on which a
bookstore must operate. Yet we
charge the same price for books here
as students are charged on the cam
puses of eastern colleges and uni
versifies where the item of trans
portation is insignificant.
'■Bookstores of the eastern part
of the country,” continued Mr. Mc
Clain, “are not eomeplled to keep
on hand a large stock of books to
meet emergencies of all sorts. Be
cause they are so close to the pub
lishing houses, it is possible to fill
orders from’the factory in a very
short time. But here in Oregon, far
from- the eastern publishing center,
it is necessary to order enough books
tc meet the demands at ail times.
Naturally, this means a close esti
mation of the actual needs of the
students for various book orders,
in order that we may not have a
large stock of books on our shelves
to carry over for tho next season.
The cooperation of faculty members
in helping us to keep our orders
down to a profitable minimum is
certainly apreciated.”
High Marks Set by
Stanford Track Men
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb.
23.— (P.I.P.)—Eric Krenz, giant
weight-man, proved the star of last
Friday’s track meet with a record
of 48 feet 2 inches in the shot and
a toss of 150 feet 5 inches in the
discus. These are nearly as good
as the best marks Krenz made last
year, and indicate that the Stockton
giant will be a capable man to fill
tho place left vacant by Biff Hoff
man.
Leo Kibby, a dark horse, made a
sensational mark in the javelin,
throwing the spear 183 feet 2 inches
for the best mark of the year. Bill
Sparling took first with a throw of
ISO feet 2 inches.
Johnny Lauritzen ran a ton flat
hundred, for his best mark of the
year. Coe ran a speedy two mile in
10 minutes 2 1-5 seconds, and Alex
McKinnon won the mile, running
4.44.
Soviet War Leader
Urges Preparation
For Next Struggle
(Py United Press)
MOSCOW, Feb. 23—The Soviet
government knows that the “next
war will require n,ot. only the army
but the entire strength of the So
viet union,” Commissar of War Bor
oshilov said today on the tenth an
niversary of the founding of the
Red army.
“Capitalistic nations are feverish
ly preparing for war by arming
themselves,” he said. “We must
strengthen our own army to meet
the" necessary contingencies.”
(While Boroshilov was talking in
terms of war, the League of Nations
security commission had before it
n Soviet proposal looking to com
plete disarmament of all land, sea
and air forces.)
“The Soviet government is con
ducting an obstinate fight for peace,
but as long as she is surrounded by
capitalistic nations war is a danger
which will always hang over us,”
Boroshilov said.

Coast Conference
Championship Lies
In LTndecided State
U. S. 0., Los Angeles, Feb. 23.—
(P.I.P.)—If Coach Leo Cnllnml’s
University of Southern California
basketball team loses two of its re
maining three games in the Pacific.
Coast conference, there is a possi
bility that the 1027 race will end in
a triple tie, with Southern Califor
nia, California, and U. C. L. A.
sharing honors. In this event it is
probable that Southern California
will be selected to meet Washing
ton, northern division champions, in
tiie play-off games here during the
first week in March.
All teams will play a total of nine
games, and if the Trojans -should
lose both remaining games to U. C.
L. A. and the final court tilt with
Stanford, while the University of
California won its three games from
Stanford, the Berkeley Bears would
win their fifth consecutive P. C. C.
sectional title.
There is just a chance that the
Trojans will lose their remaining
games, but it would be hard to con
vince the 8000 fans that jammed tho
Olympic auditorium last week.
Trailing as much as 14 points, Cal
land’s men overcame a lead and
won 45-35 in the last three minutes
of play. It would be hard to make
that crowd believe that tho Trojans
are due to bo headed in their first
real bid for a conference basket
ball title, after the inspired basket
ball that was shown Saturday.

Junior College Plan
Draws Increasing
Notice in California
U. C. L. A., Los Angeles, Feb. 2d.
-—P. I. P.—The rapid growth of
Junior colleges in southern Califor
nia has been attributed by Univer
sity Recorder ns explaining the no
ticeable decrease in the number of
freshmen admitted to the University
of California at Los Angeles for the
Spring semester.
With a shrinkage of G5 per cent
in the enrollment of freshmen in the
college of Letters and Science and
.15 per cent in the 'teachers’ college,
officials became speculative as to
the cause of the decrease. The fact
that the number of upporclass stu
dents was on the increase, thus mak
ing up for the deficit of freshmen,
coupled with the fact that a large
number of upper class entrants re
gister from the Junior colleges bears
out the statement that tho Junior
colleges enroll many freshmen who
otherwise would be registered in
their first year.
When asked if they thought IT. C.
L. A. would follow in tho steps of
other universitites who have abol
ished the freshman and sopliomoro
years, the officials were of tho opin
ion that such a thing here or in any
other state institution, would not
take place until such a time when
the state would place Junior colleges
at the disposal of high school grad
uates.
U High Team Loses
First Basketball Game
University High lost its first bas
ketball game last Friday night in’^
Corvallis, when it played Corvallis
High with a final score of 27 to 15.
This gives Albany High leading
place in the district holding a clear
record with no defeats. University
High stands second with one defeat,
Corvallis High, third, with two de
feats, Eugene High, fourth, with
three defeats.
Albany plays the rest of its games
away from home, playing Corvallis
High March 2 and Eugene High
March S). Tf Albany should lose
the remaining games there may bo
a. play-off with the other teams.
University High still has Eugene
High to play February 24.
