THE PAST YEAR—ATHLETICALLY _
The gods of luck have smiled favorably on Oregon athletic
teams during Hie past year. Save for a somewhat disastrous
football season, all form of athletic endeavor have enjoyed a
successful season.
To Coach William J. Reinhart goes credit for turning out
another winning basketball team. This year’s Lemon-Yellow
quintet climaxed their schedule by winning every game on the
road trip. Tl e University of Washington Huskies, winners
of the Northwi si title, were defeated in a torrid over-time game.
Since Reinhart's advent to an Oregon coaching position, Web
foot basketball has been on a lijgli plane. Each season brings
little doubt in the minds of Oregon students as to basketball
prospects. Too much credit cannot be given to Billy. And the
best, part of it all.Billy is an Oregon man.a
former Lemon-Yellow athlete.
For the first time in history, an Oregon swimming team
triumphed over their traditional rivals, the Aggies, in two
meets. The strong Multnomah club mermen of Portland were
also defeated. Coach Edward F. Abercrombie is due credit for
the victorious showing of the swimming team. As head tennis
mentor, Abercrombie has also demonstrated his tutorship when
the Webfoot netnien won the Northwest tennis championship
by defeating bolh the University of Washington and Oregon
State College.
What has been termed one of the best baseball teams in
years, also brings more credit to the husky shoulders of Billy
Reinhart. Winning five confeernee "ames of the eight played,
Oregon won the championship of the western division of the
northwest section of the Pacific Coast confeernee.

COACHING NOT EASY JOB
“Wliat a sof'1 job at must bo to coach.”
Have you ever heard that remark? I imagine we all have
heard such a thing insinuated in the conversation of some
group when they were discussing athletics in general.
The average person sees the coach at work two or three
hours a day, out on the field with his men. During games
they see him come out to the bench and sit down while his
players compete. This looks like a snap to most people.
But is this coaching job such a bed of roses? Does these
few hours of observed work constitute the kernel of the coach
ing job?
Ask a coach sometime. The chances are that he will say
the actual physical part, of the work represents the cream. But
will he mention the sleepless nights he spends in worry and in
planning during the season and the problems that arte con
stantly arising to afflict him. Whore will he play this man,
how will he replace that fellow, wfcat is the matter with his
defense, is lie getting all lie can from his men? No, the coach
doesi most of his work off the field.
A coach, if he lie the right kind of coaeh„ soon acquires
the friendship of the boys under him. Some are better than
others in the sport, some are of peculiar temperament. But
they are all friends together.
It’s the coach who selects 1 he lineup. Tt. is the coach who,
though he be friends to all his men, must pick out the ones who
will add the greatest strength to his squad, lie must make the
choices that are bound to carry a sting for some fellows, for
some of his friends.
A coach knows how it feels to be left on the bench. Then
there are always"accusations of favorites, politics, drag, and
the like that are now and then flung at him from veiled sources
by dissatisfied groups lie must take it with little chance of
comeback. When a coach is winning—ah—it’s a wonderful
team—when the team is losing—it’s the coach.and so
it goes.
1 wonder if it's such a soft job—this being a coach?
(II. D.)
THROUGH ROSE COLORED GLASSES
This writer has been a close student of Oregon athletics
for the past four years and lie can truthfully say that the school
year 1028-2!) shows promise of being one of the best athletically
that the University of Oregon has ever enjoyed. Oregon is
due for a successful football season. Oregon spirit demands
it and Oregon light will produce it.
With tin1 exception of one player, lek Reynolds, Coach Bill
Reinhart will have bis 1028 team intact. Next year should see
Oregon, Pacific Coast Conference basketball champions, a title
only earned once before and that in 1010.
Swimming will enjoy another good season with practically
a team of veterans in suits. Several freshman stars should
bolster up Oregon’s 1020 aequatic team, the most outstanding
swimmer being Chet Floyd, former Hollywood Athletic club,
star.
Tennis, recently majorized, will have a quartet of stars who
have already proven their ability. Henry Neer, Howard Shaw,
and Clare Hartman, lettermen, will be back in the folds. Add
to Ibis Bradshaw Harrison, Stanley Almquist, and Sherman
Lockwood and you have a Pacific Coast championship outfit.
With the exception of two lettermen, Billy Reinhart will
have his champion baseball nine back on the local diamond.
Next year it is hoped that tin' Webfoot horse hide performers
will be given a trip to the Orient.
Track at Oregon has been at a low ebb for several years
but a number of exceptional performers will be recruited from
this spring’s yearling ranks and Bill Hayward will have a
formidable aggregation next spring.
Taking all in all, how can the 1 niversity of Oregon help
but turn out a few champions next year*’ (R. H. S.)
THIS SHOULD BE OUR YEAR
When Captain dolin -I. MeEwan first came to the Univer
sity ot Oregon as head football coach he said that it, would take
three years to develop a good team. The 11)28 season marks
the third year, and the one of victory as promised by MeKwiui.
Football teams tor the past two years have been far from
successful and a distant storm of discontent could be hoard
rumbling last winter coming from Oregon alumni. Oregon stu
dents have been patjent. Each year has brought promise of a
better team next season. With considerable material available,
except for experienced ends. Coach MeKwan should keep his
promise next fall. (R, H. S.)
DEL OBERTEUFFER INT^MURAL HEAD
With several games yet to be played in the donut baseball
league before a champion is determined, thereby terminating
the season, the Fine raid wishes to congratulate Del Obcrteuffer
for the fine manner in which intramural athletics were con
ducted this year.
Oberteuifer. acting director of the local physical education
department, ran the various athletic leagues so that there was
little kick coming trout any one. Though only a few trophies
were offered in track, more interest w its token in donut events
than ever before.
This summer will find Obcrteuffer at Columbia University,
New ^ ork, w orking for Itis 1’h.I). degree and lie hits been grant
ed it leave of absence to continue liF work next winter. Oregon

Water Polo Fray
Taken by Fijig
Sigma Nu Five Lose Title
By a 4 to 3 Score
Staging a beautiful rally in tlic
closing minutes of the game Thurs
day night, the Phi Gamma Delta
aquatic artists emerged victorious
by a score of 4-3 in their second and
deciding contest with the Sigma Nu
water polo team. The win entitles
the Fijis to enter the “world’s ser
ies” with the Phi Psi aggregation to
! decide the donut water polo cham
| pionship.
j In the first canto the Sigma Nus
(got off to a good start when Kinsey
| scored with a free throw awarded
! because of a Fiji foul. Gillette
I slammed one into the netting a few
I seconds later, on a short pass from
i Dallas. The score at the end of the
first half stood Sigma Nu 2, Phi
Gamma Delta 0.
Coming back strong in the second
period the Fijis soon tied the score
when Atkinson looped a short one,
and Anderson sank the leather pill
well past the center of the tank.
Then the two teams battled desper
ately for some time, neither side
being able to score. The tension
was released when Atkinson holed
his second shot of the evening, after
Anderson had missed on a free
throw awarded him.
One goal behind, the Sigma Nus
put up a spirited rally which died
down after Gillette failed to get a
free throw past the Fiji goal guard,
George Christenson. The Sigs’ hopes
were soon revived, for another free
trial given Gillette resulted in a
goal, tieing the score at three goals
each.
With less than a minute to go,
Anderson received a long pass from
a Fiji guard, and slipped a beautiful
shot into the corner of the net for
the last and deciding goal. The gun
terminated the torrid fray a few
seconds ljiter.
Storing honors were pretty evenly
divided, Gillette of the Sigma Nils
and. Ahdorsilii and Afkiirfton of ,the
Fijis being tied for honors with two
markers, apiece. The “ world’s ser
ies” will take place some time next
I week.

100 and 220, but took seconds in
both events. He managed a first in
the broad junip.-Thc other first goes
to Ralph Hill, who did the mile in
4:30, the fastest time made by a
freshman on Hayward track for a
number of years.
The varsity meet wYtt. the Univer
sity of Washington ended the same
as the frosh-babc tangle, only Ore
gon got snowed under a bit more,
94% to 36%. McCulloch took the
high jump for Oregon with a leap
of six feet, two inches. Wetzel
heaved the javelin for five points.
It was at that meet that Herman
j Brix, Washington’s champion weight
mail, put the shot 50 foot 0% inches.
This mark was not allowed because
(lie shot lie used was a few ounces
to light. Steve Anderson, another
Husky, bettered his own record in
(ho high sticks, making them in
: 14.!>. His former record was :15
flat.
Another meet was sandwiched in
| between the other affairs. Oregon
i sent a team to the Seattle relay
carnival but returned empty handed.
The other week-end the frosh en
tered a five-handed track and field
(meet at the Multnomah civic sta
dium in Portland. What’s more,
they came out on top of the pile
! with 60 points. Their nearest rivals
I were the rooks of Corvallis, with
50 markers.
Just the next, day after the frosh
downed the rooks, Pacific and Wil
lamette Universities, and Chemawa,
the varsity took on the Cougars of
Washington State and returned to
Kugene all clawed up. The Staters
won, 72 to 52.
Who can tell? The dope on the
Oregon varsity may be in the
depths, but rest assured that “Bill”
Hayward has something in store for
O. S. C. this afternoon.

Achievement
The desire for recognition urges thousands of
young men and women to strive for the laurels of
true accomplishment. But at no other time in the
history of mankind has there been such a universal
demand for those of unquestioned ability.
So strong is the competitive march that a thorough
preparation is the only road that leads to the goal
of commercial success. The poorly prepared
quickly weaken and fall by the wayside.
The basic subjects: Shorthand, typewriting and
bookkeeping are important essentials and fit in
well with a university education.
Enrollment dates for our summer school—June,
July and August—are Monday, June 4-1 1-18. Ask
