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 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

Still Only a Wliispor
Although it is only a pleasantly
anticipated whisper as yet, still
there is a possibility that the syn

building for the delight of dancers.

ing at Me Elroy's Spanish Ballroom
