I Pacific Coast Echoes Sympathy To Bagshaw PJay-by-play Account of Web foot •'Washington Hoop Tilt Is Success By JOE PIGNEY Sympathy with a mixture of pity has been accorded Enoch Bagshaw, head football coach at tin1 TTniver Dr. Hall ■ sify of Washing ton; in liis fight with 1ho student I) o il y of f li n t school. Tliorp is not. much doubt that all this fool ing has boon mis placed, and that all of the pity and lmwli loss of tin1 sympathy be longs to the Wash ington stud o n t body itself. The 102S football season, in which ^ tli o Husk it's dropped from n near championship football team to a, lionr. cellar occupant, is the basis for tlic proposed dismissal of Bag sliaw. Washington always lias been near tin,* top—due to Bagsliaw. Now that the team had a slight slip in one season, a huge brick of ingrati tude is hurled at the coach. Perhaps Enoch Bagsliaw lacks the grot.ions personality of a John ,T. Me Ewan, or the dynamicness of a Paul J. Sehisslor, but he is, never theless, one of the greatest coaches on the Pacific const if not, in the whole country. What national fame has come to Washington in the last few years came because Bagsliaw gave the Husky school winning teams. Bagsliaw may have made enemies up and down, the Pacific coast, but lie commands the respect of all other coaches. There are few who will not be sorry to see him leave. The legal entanglement around Bngshaw’s contract is creating a set. of complications as to whether Bagsliaw can be “fired.” Tt is clear, however, that. Washington is * not the place for Bagsliaw. He is an excellent coach and sympathy is almost, entirely with him. No doubt there are schools in the country which will appreciate a consistently victorious team and pass-over an occasional “bad season.” Oregon can understand the Seattle situation. Tt is but one year ago since “wolves” first started howl ing for Captain McEwnn. Oregon had a winning team last season, but wait until next fall. *The success of this year’s team may be too much for -certain Oregon supporters, and unless a championship is won there will be echoes of the old howling. It never fails. A few wails were heard this year when Oregon State won national reputation instead of Oregon. Tlio single Tegret of 1 lio Oregon Professional Sport Writers’ associa tion, wliieli 'sponsored tiio play-by play report of tlie Orcgpn-Washing ton basketball game at Seattle last Saturday, is that arrangements were not made to bring similar accounts ^ of the Washington State, Idaho and Montana games. The unusual suc cess of the event was unpredicted, but the idea now has definite sup port. Dr. Arnold Dennett. Tin 11, presi dent of the university, was among the 500 basketball fans who heard the Webfoots go down to an excit ing 118 to 29 defeat. Virgil D. Earl, director of athletics, .Tack W. Bene fiel, graduate manager, and all the fans who were at McArthur court Saturday night are esthusiastie in the possibilities of the play-by-play description for future conference tilts. The success of the affair was due (Continued on Page l'our) ! Horner Picks i Debate Squad For Women i ■ —■— i Marguerite Looney a n <1 Gladys Clausen Only Newcomers to Varsity New Coaching System To Be Used This Year Contests Scheduled With Three Western Colleges -n Sovon women who will mnUo lip the. freshman debate srpiml this year, ns well ns flip nine who will compose the var sity group, were selected by debate eoneli J. K. Horner as a result of the try-outs Saturday afternoon in V il Inrd ball. There were 11 freshman contestants and 111 for the varsity, the largest group of women who have turned out in two vonrs, no M. Edmunson cording to Mr. Horner. Successful aspirants for the var sity squad wore: Margaret, Edmun son, junior in sociology, Eugene; Marguerite Looney, junior in English Jefferson; Marion Leach, senior in Political science, Ashland; Gladys Clausen, sophomore in education, Portland; Larina Hicks, sophomore jin journalism, Portland; Eleanor Welcome, sophomore in education. Burns; Florence McNcrnoy, junior in English, Portland; Mary Caniparoli, sophomore in math, St. Helens; Mary Klemm, junior in journalism, Eugene. Seven Frosh Chosen The freshman squad is composed of the following: Elisabeth Pain ton, journalism, Portland; Jean Gar man, journalism, Portland; Bernice Conolv, history, Eugene; Frances .1 Liberiach, .architecture, CJneltamas; Betty Neff, architecture, Tillamook; Alexis Lyle, business administration, Klamath Falls; Ida-TTelen Hurnlin, history, Portland. Florence MeNerney, Margaret Ed munson, Mary Klemm and Marion Leach were varsity debaters last year, while Eleanor Welcome, Lavina dlicks, and Mary Caniparoli served last year on the freshman squad. Marguerite Looney and Gladys Clau sen are the only new-comers to the varsity. A new coaching system will be used this year, Mr. Horner says. The freshman and varsity debaters will meet together for discussions to determine the issues and argue them. The first meeting of the two groups will be Thursday night at 7:1 d at Mr. Horner’s office. The same me thod is now in use in the coaching of the two men’s squads. Varsity Schedule Complete The question to he used in wo men’s debate is “Resolved, that state universities should require state hoard examinations for en trance.” The varsity schedule in cludes contests with the University of Washington at Seattle, the Uni versity of Idaho here, one with the University of California yet to he arranged, and possibly a dual debate with Washington .State collage, Pull man. The freshmen will meet Lin ' field college, Pacific university, Al j hairy college, and the Ashland nor jinnl school. The dates and places j for those last debates are not def I ini to. Tiie question used in the try-outs I was “Resolved, that American col i leges should admit students only up on examinations.” Health Service Has 30,000 Cases In Past Tivo Years; Doctors Busy It is quite possible that few stu dents realize the amount of work that is done for them by their health service. However, the university eouhl hardly exist without the ser vices of this contingent of workers, housed in the modest gray building by the journalism scaek. It is doub ly hard to realize that this sariie service has, from December 1926, to DecemTier 1929, handled more than thirty thousand cases. I.ast year more than 14,000 stu dents limped, hobbled, or walked to the portals of the dispensary. The year before that there were more than 15,000 thousand in the parade. What was wrong? There was everything represented in that parade from bruised knuckles and cuts to nails in the1 shoe. Well over 15.000 of tlioso wont to the infir mary to recuperate. During the influenza epidemic tlio health service cared for almost 300 cases. Two hundred and seventy three patients stayed a thousand and a half days. That’s an average of five and a half days to a per son. hast term the faculty added about fifty visits to the lists. And while they were doing this, the students amassed a grand total of 0,000 trips. Taken all at once, that would give a vacation for a couple of days. All those figures mean that ap proximately 75 per cent of the stu dents in the University of Oregon patronize the university health ser vice and dispensary. They must — 30.000 is a big number.

R. Crosland History of Method Tohl by Psychology Professor; Experiments Are Listed Dr. IT. 1?. Crosland, professor of psychology and geology, whose in vestigations and experiments in the field of crime detection have gained him widespread notice, is the author of a recent work entitled “The Psy chological Methods of Word Associa tion and Reaction Time as Tests of Deception.” In this work Dr. Crosland, who is an exponent of the association method of detection, has briefly out lined the history of this method as well as giving a clear, concise explanation of it. He has also given the results of numerous experiments, prepared lists of word stimuli to be employed in each case, and has made charts showing the emotions and nervous tendencies attending the ob ject in each experiment, lie then sets forth his conclusions and theories. Tn the association method of de tection the suspect is given a word and is told to answer quickly the first work or thought it brings to his mind. The suspect, whose mind is on crime, unconsciously tends to give words suggestive of his trans gression. During this process the object’s general posture, his reaction, time in answering, his emotions, his blood pressure, his breathing, and the re sistance of his body to electric cur rents are all carefully noted. The results help decide whether lie is or is not guilty. During his stay at the univer sity, Dr. Crosland has employed this system several times in catching the committers of petty offenses, and has yet 1o fail ‘to get his man.’ Art Bust Promises Tropical Time; Dime Affair Is Tomorrow “Where are you going Wednes day night?” asked Co-Eddie. “(let. wise, I’m going to the Art P.nst and my anticipations are be yond your conception, sweet one, since you didn’t go last term,” re plied .Toe College to his frosli room mate. “Do you have to dress up?” “No, of course not, wear your kanvpus klothes, and a smock for atmosphere.

Nov Occupation Open To Admirers of Frogs Animals fur Experiments Could He Raised Here The raising of frogs on the west coast as a profitable source of in come has been suggested by Miss Alice Hahrs, teaching fellow in gen eral physiology. All frogs used for laboratory ex periments are shipped from the Fast. Approximately fJOO are used at. the University of Oregon every year, as well as the thousands required in all the colleges up and down the Pacific coast. Small froggs sell for ten cents each and large ones for fifteen cents. Also, all cats are shipped from Chicago; and the neeturus, a form of salamite, are shipped from the East. Oregon is quite as well equipped as any other place to raise these insects and animals, Miss Hahrs de clared. The universities would pro fit, because they would not have the trouble of tlonsportntion. In the shipping, many of the frogs are killed. The cats and neeturus are dead before they are sent. <*oulil como no hotter than one point lioliiml on sevoinl occasions.

Footprints Dead Give-away; Yeggs Surrender to Trapper-Detectives An antidote for college ennui was discovered I»v I*ick Horn and (iarey Thomson, students of the university, when they put some of Sherlock Holmes’ favorite detective tactics to work and captured two light fingered but heavy-footed gents who robbed their trap line on the McKenzie river anil stoic their canoe, “Trader” Horn and his colleague make a little money on the side by catching minks, coons, wild cats, muskrats and occasionally a frag rant skunk. Their trap line is 40 miles up the McKenzie and each week-end they enjoy the nice, frigid hike through a foot of snow to collect their pelts. After making the rounds they ride via rowboat, over the rapids of the upper McKenzie, a trip which would thrill even the most blase. A week ago several of their traps were stolen and a canoe in which they cruised the mountain lakes was also taken. Dirty work was on foot, on four feet tu be exact, for the trappers found boot, marks of two thieves atnuHc. ff:"ft- trap lines. Kvidently the culprits had followed t1u< owners’ frails and located cadi “planted” trap. One of the thieves wore calked boots and the other had plain soles. Night traps and a canoe is a lot to lose so “TIawkshaw” Horn and Thomson took a page out of the Northwestern Mounted’s code and set out “to get their men.” They found their canoe drawn up on the bank of the river and after searching found two young men, log gers, who answered the description. Objecting strenuously did the sus pects no good and they were march ed back twelve miles at the point of a gun to the tell-tale footprints. The student-detectives found the tracks coincided with the men’s shoes and they confessed to the thievery. Shortly afterward Horn and Thomson had their canoe and traps back. The culprits were released after they had promised to leave the property of the trappers alone and no charges were filed against them.
