Hoop Coaches To Discuss Officials Bill Reinhart Goes to Seattle for Meeting With Conference Men By JOE PIGNEY The next J11iiiin basketball is to make tlie game safe from the of ficials. As tilings now stand, bas ketball is as much a contest between the players and the referee and line pire as it is between theotwo teams. The plaver-offieial fend grew to such proportions in the season just completed that the coitches of the Pacific coast conference, meet mg at Seattle tonmmny, will bring it up for discussion. Bill Reinhart, Oregon mentor, is among the coaches who favor a modification of the powers of both the referee and the umpire. Over officiating has ruined more games than inefficient officiating, declares Reinhart. • Basketball is the fastest of inter collegiate sports, but it is in danger of being slowed by too much inter ference from officials. Usually, just at the time a game reaches the pitch of excitement, a minor foul is called and the whole game must be temporarily halted. 4 Oregon’s teams are essentially dribbling teams. This year the whole Webfoot attack was thrown off, whenever a player, dribbling down the floor, was penalized for charging. ^ “The officials have construed the dribble rule so closely,” said Rein hart, “that the teams may as well abolish it altogether and play just a passing game. Xo sooner does a player start, down .the floor within scoring distance than bis attack is stopped by a foul of charging,” said Reinhart. 1 * * i* The Oregon cough is not for a rough game, but lie believes a more liberal interpretation of the rules will improve basketball. Few fouls are actually called beeahse of roughness, but most of them are for minor offenses which usually are unobserved by the spectators. ^ Reinhart declared that he would go on record as favoring only one official at a game instead of two. Unless the umpire can justify his position by other moans that detect ing potty fouls, then there is no need to clutter up ‘the floor with his presence. Through the whole of the 1929 conference season, games were bait ed while a player was awarded a free throw. The offense usually was so slight that it didn’t warrant stopping the contest. At times the spectators became too • indignant with the dMsions of the referees, and technical fouls were awarded visiting teams. There have been games played in (Continued on Page Two) Noiv Y. W.

Stephen \V. Gilman’s address on “Compelling Forces” at the student assembly in the Woman’s building Thursday morning at II. Dr. Gilman is known as # Wisconsin’s “grand old man” ’and for many years lie was on the school of business administration staff of the University of Wiscon sin. He is now professor emeritus. “I don’t believe in the doctrine of self-made men and women,” Dr. Gilman asserted. “Personality lias to be dyed tlie color of the person who is commonly chief. The spirit of someone has to enter in us. Association Necessary “We are all threads in the same fabric and all stitches in the same piece of material,” the speaker told the students. “No- flame comes from wet wood. You have to get power from people of power.” Power always comes from power sources, the speaker stated, rower doesn’t come from stupid people for this reason, lie added. Dr. Gilman declared that certain men and wom en wore of great influence to you and that certain men bombard,ed you. Dr. Gilman told the students about a number of the great men ho had known and the effect, they had had on him. James J. Hill, he said, had “a verve, a courage and audacity you couldn’t explain.” You should as sociate with men of power, he urged, for they pour out power. Stupid people should be associated with only to help them, the speaker declared. Marshall Fields and An drew Carnegie were two other men who were termed men of power by I)r. Gilman.

Feh. 29 Fails to Arrive; 7 Wo 5 Years Old By ALICE COOK There are two people on the cam pus who celebrated their fifth birthday last year, and one who celebrated an eighth. These per sons who it seems are child prod igies are Delillian Olson, Lari Wib shire, anil H. Morris Landrum. ‘‘How can they be so young and in the university?” someone nsVs. My dear someone, years don’t al ways go by birthdays as these three have found out. Two of them are really of age, and the other one has voted several times. Yes, indeed, last .night while the clock was striking twelve, their birthday slipped by, someplace be tween the chimes; for they were born oil February 29, that one day out of 1461 days to be born. Ac cording to the law of averages one person of 1461 persons should be born on what is vulgarly known as ‘‘leap year.” This would entitle the university with its 2838 stu dents to only two born on this in frequent date. However, the uni versity is fortunate in its supply of unusual people, and has three in stead of two. It is niee to know that Oregon rates with those of extraordinary birth. There are always those who are too early or too late to have their share of fame and glory. Alfred MaeLaren was born a day early on February 28 of a leap year, ami Wilbur Sohm arrived two days lat er. As a compensation for their misfortune they receive a birthday ! present every year, while the sup j posedly more fortunate' three gel ! presents once every four years, thai ! is if they wait to have a birthday part^to' get them.

O. Bean Charles E. Carpenter and Professor Fowler V. Harper, of the University law school, submitted a plan in the national contest for cash prizes held last fall under the auspices of W. C. Burant, eastern philanthropist. Under a motion in troduced in the U. S. Senate early in January by Senator Jones of Washington, the printing of the best of the plans submitted was authorized. The plan submitted by Dean Carpenter and Professor Har per was included in this classifica tion. Big Prizes Offered Mr. Burnnt offered a prize of 1 $25,000 for the best plan submitted, and another prize of $5,000 for the best contribution from a high school student. The judges made their selection on merits of the plans alone, Hie identity of the vari ous authors being unknown lo them. •Major Chester P. Mills, prohibition director for the metropolitan district of New York from 1025 to 1027, won the $25,000 prize, and Malcolm B. Ahnack, a fifteen-year-old junior in Palo Alto union high school, won the $5,000 offered to high school students. Plans submitted reached the total of 2.1,230. o Many Ideas Suggested The plan submitted by Carpenter and Harper advocates a threefold policy in making the prohibition amendment more effective: re search, education, enforcement. They propose extensive investigation into the physiological and economic as pects of liquor consumption, the sociological effects of prohibition enforcement, and problems of ad ministering the law. Under their plan education would be carried out by the dissemination of the results of the researches by as many media as possible. They also advocate reform in the present administration of the law by increasing the number and the abil ity of the men assigned to the en forcement of the law.

You en joy sitting back and listening to George Barron play—he plays with an abandon and ease that shows a rise above studied technique. He has mastered the mechanics so well that he can play for the sheer joy of playing now, and he has achieved that envied curved sweep to his playing that we have seen the artist use, painting' in a color witli a stroke. His playing is no longer simply slow and fast, loud and soft, but he has gotten some of the feel into what he has done; those who heard him play last year will espe cially realize the difference in his playing last night.

The first number, Bach’s Prelude and Fugue, E-flat minor, might almost have been ealled the warming up. But his next number, Liszt's Concert Etude F-minor, began the display of his easy technique. The quality of his runs are particularly charming, hav ing the light elusiveness of spring winds at play. And the runs of the Chopin Etude (op. 25, number 2) had the even whir and hum of a spinning wheel. The favorite num ber was Staccato Etude of Kuben stein’s. Three Schumann compositions in the second group gave a chance for Mr. Barron to let his piano sing, and he didn’t miss the chance. The Romance-F-sharp major, however, (Continued on Pago Four)
