Oklahoma U. Games Sought For Webfoots January 2, 3, 4, Dates Tentatively Planned For Basketball Meet Kansas City Independents May Come To Eugene Coach Billy Reinhart sent his varsity basketball squad through another stiff practice session last night and gave the first squad sev eral new plays to master. Drill in teamwork was stressed bv the var sity mentor'and the team is fast rounding into form. The first prac tice game is not far off now and the j men are working hard to perfect I their passing attack so as to be ! ready to go at top speed in the : early games. .Look for Tilts No definite scheduling of practice \ tilts has been done thus far, but ! negotiations are expected to be closed soon that will bring the Uni-! versify of Oklahoma basket-cagers here for a. series of three games to be played on January 2, 3, and 4. An independent team from Kansas City lias also been invited to play the varsity five in Eugene but no definite arrangements have been made. This team is considered one of the strongest amateur teams in the country. Coach Reinhart is very desirous of playing Oklahoma as they have won 1(1 games in a row in the Missouri valley conference last year. Billy thinks that practice games with strong teams will do his charges more good than easy games. Chastain Practicing Men in Chastain, veteran forward, who was injured in practice last I week, was out again last night and : is working to keep in condition. Ilis bad shoulder is swathed in bandages, though, and it is doubtful if he will he sufficiently recovered to be able to participate in the early games. - ilis loss will be sorely felt as he is a consistent petformer. Reinhart is working with a first j team composed of Gordon Hidings j and Den McCormick, forwards, Ray Edwards, center, and Scott Milligan and Joe Bally, guards. These five men work very smoothly together ; and every one of them is a good shot. Ridings and Milligan were I considered two of the best players ! on the coast last year and are work ing better than ever. Dave Epps, a versatile lettermen, is a dangerous man in any game and threatens to break into the regular lineup any time. ib‘ is a dead shot on cripples and also plays a good defensive ga me. Many Reserves Ready The new men trying to make the grade are keeping up their sensa tional play and Reinhart will have plenty of reserves who are almost equal to the regular team. Roy Hughes and Harold Olinger have been showing the best stuff in prae- j tice and Reinhart is keeping a j watchful eye on them. He has also ; been working with Homer Dickson, I lanky recruit from Southern Oregon ! Normal. Dickson has the build and j is fast for a man of his size. Under I Reinhart’s coaching he should de- i velop into a first class varsity placer. Howard Eberhart is also showing good form in the workouts! and will probably see plenty of ac tion during the season. He is a former Eugene high school star and has played basketball for several years. Injuries have hampered his play for the last two years but this , season he is in good condition.

Barometer By JOE PIGNEY Pears and hopes will bo refuted or established today at Los Angeles when the 1929 Pacific coast confer ence football schedule is adopted. The "big four.” California, Wash ington, Stanford, and Southern Cal ifornia, has cast a dominant charm j over the northern section of the conference, and the less fortunate members will have to take the leav ings. It is not like ly that Oregon will suffer from lack of conference games in 1929. The Wcbfoots are a strong team and a desired team, and Jack W. Beliefiel, Oregon’s graduate, manager, may be able to line up a better set of games than was first thought. 0. A. 0., Washington, and U. C. L. A. are definitely on the Wcb foots’ schedule, and the other teams will be added today. Oregon may well look with envi ous eyes toward the success of Pa cific coast teams over eastern riv- I als. Regrets that it was impossible for the Wcbfoots to line up a sec- [ tional contest this year become j doubly acute when it is necessary to stand by and watch an inferior team capture so much glory. Oregon, as leading team of the northwest and conqueror of the conqueror of New York university, leading team of the east, should not be enable to schedule a game with a mid-west or eastern team for next season. The Wcbfoots need the game. Football has reached the point where pre-season or post-season games with strong teams from other parts of the country are nearly as important as the regular conference j games. The interest is ‘greater, the attendance is increased, and the ' prestige of the rival teams is ad- I vanned. O. A. C. still is smarting from its j loss to the Wcbfoots. The Beavers, with their admirable success in the | cast, find themselves unable to \ fathom the mystery of the Webfoot triumph. Post-mortems galore were held, but all investigations flopped until the Beaver team won in New York last Thanksgiving. This is the final conclusion, as quoted from the O. A. (’. Barometer: “Maybe our dear Lane county friends will at last believe, some what at least, that their victory was imbued with plenty of good luck. But that makes them CHAMPIONS OF T11E UNITED STATES now, so they should worry.” So Oregon through the courtesy of the Beavers becomes the chain-' pious of- the United States. The Wcbfoots are happily content to be the champions of the United States. At first we sought only the cham pionship of* Oregon, but of course, you know, O. A. C. insists that we become the champions of all 48 of these United States. However often the Aggies want Oregon to take over the champion ship of the United States, Oregon never will refuse. The process is a simple one, according to the Aggies: \ the Beavers will permit Oregon to win over them so that the Wcbfoots ^ [ may enjoy the title. Tt won’t be long now until the Beavers offer Oregon the championship of the world. Jusr a couple more championships for Oregon from the Aggies, and there will be great changes at O. A. V. The coaching staff, perhaps, will be the first. After the first two or three years the Beaver men tors will get tired of handing Ore gon the honors, and probably will want to go elsewhefe. That often happens. Yep, it is the awful truth that the Beavers had a lot of tough luck this year. When they boarded the train for the east, it was with a feeling that a good walloping awaited them in New York. It was just another tough break that made them sched ule the strongest team in the east whereas they themselves only were about sixth rate oil the Pacific coast. That mysterious tiling "luck” which the Aggies talk about got to working again and now the Beaver : officials are the “champion sched ulers’’ even though Oregon is the “champion football team.” It' O. A. C. is satisfied, so, then, is Oregon. If this season has made the Beavers happy, it is Oregon’s wish that they will always be happv. I guess that makes everyone happy.
