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

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.

Crime Detection
Subject of Book
By H. 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.’

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.

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.
