Draws Polite Reply
From Store Leaders
‘Heartily Favoring Move’,
Directors Say in Note
The Co-op's “retort courteous” to
tlie student council's probe came
forth yesterday in the form of .1 |
letter signed by Ronald M. Hubbs, [
president, of the Co-op board of di
rectors, declaring the store as being
“heartily in favor of the student
council's move.”
William Eddy, Roy Tfermlon and
Burr Abner were appointed the
fore part of this week to conduct
an investigation into the workings
of the University Co-operative store.
“The student council does not say
there is anything wrong with the
Co-op’s business policies,” said .Toe
Ale Known, A. S. IT. O. president,
yesterday, in discussing the probe,
i'but there has been considerable
agitation against it and also the
University health service, and it was
felt that the students should know
the facts, either pro or con, relative
to the two bodies under surveil
lance.”
Letter Is Submitted
A copy of the Co-op’s reply is as
follows:
“The Co-op board of directors is
heartily in favor with the move of
the student council to acquaint it
self with the affairs of the Univer
sity of Oregon Co-operative store1.
We are offering the services of the
entire staff and all of our available
records to further the investigation,
for years the Co-op has attempted
to inform the students regarding
their store, and to encourage them
to attend the annual meetings of
the stock holders and there present
their questions and problems. How
ever, the response has been so small,
that the board welcomes this oppor
tunity to once and for all place the
affairs of the Co-op which have al
ways been a matter of open record,
before the students through their
chosen ropresontat ives.
AVant Findings Printed
“It is nlxo our earnest desire that
tho investigation committee give
duo publicity to whatever their
findings may be. We have the ut
most confidence in the ability and
impartiality of the committee ap
pointed, and it is certainly our
wish to further their efforts and
investigation. Their report should
be a matter of student concern and
knowledge, regardless of what it
may contain, and it is our hope that
it will reach the attention of the
entire student bodyII The student
administration is to be congratulated
in its effort to present to the stu
dents facts concerning their own
store.”

Debate on Gov. Smith
Heginning Sunday evening at 7:110
llev. K. M. Whitesmith of the local
Unitarian church will conduct a ser
ies of ten debates with Huy Pitch
Phelps, widely known writer, lectur
< r, and fundamentalist.
The subject for debate on Sunday
night is: "Unsolved, that ltouian
Catholics should be excluded from
public office in the United States
because no true Catholic can be
loyal to the dogmas and cannon law
of his church and to the constitu
tions and institutions of the Ameri
can government at the same time.”
Mr. Phelps takes tin- affirmative,
lie is the brother in law of Dr. Pol
ing, the editor of the Christian
Herald who is such an outspoken
opponent of Hovernor Smith. Mr.
'Phelps states that he is bitterly op
posed to Smith but that he carries
his opposition on religious grounds
to its logical conclusions anl advo
cates that Catholics be excluded
from all public office.

Oregon Tennis Coa
Famous Stars
Tilden and Lacoste Vie
In the Opening Match
By W. HARRY VAN DINE
Edward F. Abercrombie, Univer
sity of Oregon’s well known tennis
and swimming coach, was a very
interested spectator at the interna
tional Davis Cup tennis matches
held last July. The games took
place in the new Stade Roland Gar
ros at Auteuil, a suburb of Paris.
A prediction that the Davis Cup,
most cherished of all tennis cups,
would remain in France for several
years to come was made by the
varsity mentor.
“There are several young French
players who are the equal and pos
sibly the superior of any of the ris
ing generation of players in this
country,” said Coach Abercrombie
when interviewed. lie [minted out
that these men, led by Henri Cochet,
star of the recent Davis Cup play,
are now touring the United States
and have been winning consistently
with few exceptions. One of the
most important exceptions was when
P.radshaw Harrison, ranking No. 1
player of Oregon and star of the
University team, won over Pierre
Landry recently at San Francisco.
Flys to London
“Due to unavoidable circumstanc
es, I was able to attend only one
day’s play of the world famous
matches,” recounted Abie, “but the
match that day was, by far, the
best of the tournament.” The popu
lar Oregon coach had planned to
witness the play of the second day
also, but due to rain, the play was
postponed and a previous reserva
tion on an air liner for London pre
vented him from staying for an
other day’s matches.
The match between the French
man, Lacoste, and the American,
William Tilden II, was very well
played and one of the most exciting
and interesting the Oregon coach
had ever witnessed. It was in this
match that Rig Rill finally broke
Lacoste’s winning streak of five
straight over him and succeeded in
winning the match fi-.'l in the fifth
set on the opening day. This was
the only match won in the tourna
ment by the American team. Tilden
and Francis Hunter opposed the
French combination of Henri Cochet
and Jean Rorotra in the doubles and
were forced to defeat after carrying
the foreigners to five sets. OneJtot

boat John F. Hennessey in tbo other
opening singles match to make the '
count in favor of the French.
American Hopes Fade
The real end to the American
hopes came on Monday, July 30,
when the grea^t Tilden was defeated
in straight sets by the Frenchman,
Cochct. This match was marvelous
almost beyond words, according to
report?, and Cochet was acclaimed
the national hero of France. The
final match was played when La
coste defeated Hennessey and de- j
feated him in four sets.
“America would have had a much j
better chance for the cup,” said
Coach Abercrombie, “had the team
played Hennessey and Lott in the
doubles thus saving Tilden for the
final round against Cochet.” The
way it was played Tilden played
three straight sets and was very
tired in the final. Cochet also
played three si might but he was in
better condition and is a younger
man than Tilden. Abbie says that
teh real reason for t,he team taking
Hennessey and Lott on the trip was
to give them experience and that
the way things turned out Lott did
not participate in a major battle.
His contention was sustained when
Hennessey and Lott later defeated
the French pair in the semi-final
round of the national doubles cham
pionship held at the Longwood
Cricket club, Chestnut Hill, Mass.
The American pair went into the
finals and defeated the* Australian
teaip. when few conceded them a
chance to win their first matches.
Frepch Courts Good
“Jn the near future the French
courts at the Stade Roland Oarros
will rival the famous American For
restv Hills and the British Wimble
don courts,” Coach Abercrombie re
lated. lie describes the center
court at the Stade as being' sur
rounded by an amphitheatre contain
ing on its four sides, seats for 10,
000 people. The physical properties
of the court were also perfect. The
terrain was level, smooth, firm, and
sufficiently dark to be free from
glare; the action of the ball not ton
fast; and there was ample runwSy.
At the opening of play he estimated
that there was in excess of 10,000
persons present, as there were spec
tators standing in the bowl. Abbie
reports that the French are plan
ning for the future in tennis and
are working hard to realize their
goal, the supremacy of the tennis
world,
Eugene Police Warn
Fraternities To Lock
Up for Open House
Because :i veritable avalanche of
robberies, approximating a loss of
$1200, befell fraternity houses on
the campus at Corvallis Thursday
night, the police department of Eu
gene issued a warning yesterday
afternoon to students of the Univer
sity urging that all living, quarters
be kept locked at night, particularly
during the open house tonight when
the men’s houses and halls will be
practically deserted.
' "It is a matter of precaution that
is advisable and 1 suggest that each
house follow up the suggestion care
fully,” urged Sergeant Julian
Strait, of the police department,
yesterday.
When excitement over the- scnSn
itonal pilfering at the O. S. C. cam
pus had passed the Imvoral stage
yesterday morning, a check of losses
was begun and it was discovered
that the six fraternity houses en
tered had lost money and articles
valuing about $150 at each house.
Thirty-five watches were among
the missing articles reported from
the <). N. C. police force to the Eu
gene department.
The robbers must have had a ver
satile taste and a fancy for mantel
decorat ides, declare the local police,
who have listed as stolen goods, in
addition to the watches and money,
two pairs of B. V. D.’s, a bronze
track medal and a shot-put medal.
Bate last night the local police
department had heard of no devel
opments in tracing the theft.
