Approximately 150 all-coast teams were handed in by Emer ald readers, including guesses by a half dozen Eugene fireman and a Eugene high lad. Only three girls hazarded a guess. By JOE PIGNEY The Oregon Professional Sport Writers’ association is the victim of the Emerald-McDonald Pacific coast conference all-star contest. Staking its life on an eccentricity, the asso ciation consented to pick an all coast. eleven for the campus football fans to shoot at. The association frankly asserts that its selection is not based en tirely upon the comparative merits of the various players. Nothing is so absurd, it feels, as to attempt to compare men 'of one team with those of another when there is such a great difference in playing condi tions. All-star teams are becoming uni versally regarded as hokum. Put the eleven football men considered to be the outsanding players of the A country on one team, and it is probable that O. A. C. or any other Pacific coast conference team could defeat them. The measure of a man’s qualifica tions for an all-star team is largely based on the amount of publicity he receives in the football season. The south knows little of the play ers of the north, and the north knows little of the players of the south. It is reasonable then that the man whose name appears in the newspaper columns the most often will have the chance of making the mythical eleven. Artist Honored An exhibition of the art work of Alfred Schroff, professor of paint ing, attracted much attention here recently. Professor Schroff has gained wide fame through his beau tiful landscapes. Dean Landslmry Back From Trip to Iowa Tells of Wisconsin Game Seen iii Eastern City i - Dean .Tohn Landsbury, of the school of music has returned to the campus from a trip to Iowa City to the convention of music cleans held there November 1(5 and 17. He arrived here Wednesday j of this week. Representatives attended the con ference from the University of Kan sas, University of Illinois, Univer sity of Missouri, University of Iowa, University of Indiana, University of Wisconsin, the school of music at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Uni versity of Oregon. Problems bearing on music in the university were discussed by mem bers attending the conference. Incidentally while Dean Lands ' bury was in Iowa City he saw the j lona-Wiseonsin game. Iu comment ing on the game he says, “Kincaid field, in the palmy days when we used to think it was a mndhole, look ed like a parched desert compared with the field at Iowa City. The players were simply bedraggled with mud, sleet, snow and rain.” As another object of his trip east Dean Lnndsbury looked the field over for possible additions to the school of music faculty here and also for material for graduate as sistants. On his return trip Dean Lands lmry investigated music conditions on the Pacific coast that might effect the music policy here. He I passed through New Orleans, El Paso, Los Angeles, and San Fran cisco. While in Los Angeles the Dean witnessed the Oregon-U. C. L. A. football game. Oregon Civic League To Hear Dr. Huffaker j Dr. C. L. Huffaker of the school of education will speak before the Oregon Civic league, Saturday, Do | comber 8, at a luncheon at tjie Ben 1 son hotel. The title of his speech ( will be “Is Australia Excelling Us I Educationally?” ! Oregon Football Men Pick Best Man They Played Against in 1928 Fifteen members of the University | of Oregon football team were inter- j viewed in an endeavor to obtain an all-star eleven composed of players selected from the conference teams the Webfoot gridsters met during the season just closed. Each man interviewed was asked to select the particular players who caused him the most trouble in the ; various games played and it was hard for some of the Oregon players to remember the names of the men they'stacked up against in the early j season games. Then again, the re- j puted coast stars played only medi ocre ball against the big Webfoot team. Many men were suggested for each position on the mythical teams and it was a case of picking the men with the most votes. Only two of the men chosen were picked by every man interviewed. These men, Phillips, California’s greatest end since the days of Brick Muller, and Benny Lorn, star back of the Golden Bears, were, Curiously enough, both members of the same team. Heineeke, star pivot man of the tricky Stanford Cardinals, was chosen bv all but one of the men selecting the team. Several of the men chosen won by only one or two votes and this was most apparent in the selection of the fullback for the second team. Kiglit men voted for Schmidt, Cali fornia’s steady fullback, while seven were just as positive that Hoffman, the crashing fullback of Stanford, should be chosen. This difficulty was overcome by placing both men on the second team, Hoffman at full and Schmidt at half. This fellow, Schmidt, is very versatile and could easily be shifted into a halfback berth if necessary. An all-California line was picked • (Continued on Tage Three) Honorary to Give Dance For Campus Morlar Board Plans Hop For January 5; Dress Is Formal for Women Kollege Knights May Play for New Affair Ticket Sales in Houses Will Start Next Term Tlio Cnivorsity of Oregon' campus is this year to witness ils first premiere.
