Gord Ridings Wins Place On All-northwest H ii. s k y Mentor Selects Tiro Oregonians for Mythical Team Honor r __ By JOE PIGNEY Oregon, for nil Ksnlisasters in flip !!)“!> bnskptbr.il spnson, still rates positions on the nil-northwest myth ical tea'in. llec Edmondson, coach at Washington, the northern cham pion, selected Gordon Ridings on his first string five. Scott Milligan, another three year veteran on the Webfoot team, was ranked along with Herenson of Washington for a guard position on the second team. Ridings came in for plenty of criticism this year, but the Wash ington coach pays him the greatest compliment received by any player in the north. “Gordon Ridings of Oregon drew the first string guard berth. Rid ings to my way of thinking was the best all-round player in the northern division. He has great k defensive strength and in addition he was a scoring unit that had to be considered. His floor work was excellent, and his passing and drib bling of stellar variety,” said Ed mondson. * # Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were the only members of the con ference who had players listed on Edmondson’s team. Oregon State managed to squeeze in Ballard at. forward on the second team. Prank McMillan of Idaho was given the first forward position be cause of his remarkable shooting ability. Besides standing out above all the other forwards in scoring, he was an exceptionally valuable man on the floor. Edmundson placed Monty Snider, three year veteran on the Husky team and a member of the all-coast team last, year, as the other for ward. Snider was perhaps one of the best team men on the coast. He had the rare ability of being able to sacrifice his own personal glory for that of his team mates. Snider was a good shot, and liis floor work much better than the average. TT:il McClary of Washington drew 111e center position. McClary’s great heiglitli' gave him tlie tip-off advan tage over every other center in the northern conference. He earned his share of points for the Washington team, and at the same time had the best defensive record of any center in the* north. Percy Bolstad, Washington, was moved into the first string guard | position along with Gordon Ridings, j in Edmondson’s opinion, and other conches of the conference will tes tify to it, Bolstad was the fastest man in the league. His floor work was brilliant, anil he played con sistently both on the offensive and the defensive. Edmondson's team was not picked because of the individual talent of the players. It was selected to give the greatest offensive strength along with the greatest defensive • strength. The value of the com bination, thinks the Washington coach, is its team power rather than its individual brilliancy. There is a general belief that the Husky basketball team is stronger than the Californian, although the California team did walk away with the title. Bill Reinhart, Oregon coach, who saw t'he championship series at Seattle, says the Huskies were the most disorganized team he had ever seen in action. Perhaps it was stage fright, but Reinhart declared the Washington team played an inferior brand of ball against the Bears to what they had all season in the northern con ference. Whatever it is, the power of the southern team is unquestion able, for in some way or another it manages to win the majority of basketball championships. Higher Powers Cancel Thursday’s Assembly Mistreated Freshmen Free For Once From Travail All freshmen are scheduled for a “Whoopee” time Thursday morning at 11, for the powers that be at the, University of Oregon have decreed that there will be no assembly.

Added to this, if the newly created tax commission functions as it is hoped, the institution will have a definite increase in millage revenues start ing two years hence, it is pointed out. University items, either signed by the governor or certain to be ap proved, include the following: Appropriation for extension and research work, $110,000 for next biennium. New infirmary for campus, $100, 000, of which $00,000 is to be ap propriated by the state and $00,000 raised by subscription. Appropriations for paving around university campus in Eugene, $;’.S, 000. Interest on university funds on deposit with state, approximately $0,000 per year. Another thing accomplished by the university here this session is that it has impresseTI, people of the state with its needs, and everyone agrees that building and other needs should be met. The treasury deficit this year precluded anv great out lays in this line however, but since the institution has made its case, definite relief can be expected next session, if the tax program works out. Altogether, it has been a fruitful session for the University of Ore gon, and its supporters are opti mistic over the future of the insti tution.

Former U.S. Marine Voices Harsh Disapproval of Recent Cruiser Bill By MERLIN BLAIS The much discussed and much con demned cruiser bill recently passed by the United States government has an enemy in one of Oregon’s students who has been a marine for three years, and for two and one half years was stationed on the U. S. S. New York. He has been an orderly to an admiral, a gun captain of a five-inch gun, and of a three inch anti-aircraft gun. lie has medals for markmanship; he has a sweater for rowing on the whale boat crew of his ship; he represent ed the colors in football, basketball, and boxing; and he was a real fight ing man. In a matter of fact way he will tell you that he has seen life in South America, in Panama, in the Philippines, traveling 50,000 miles in all to see it; yet lie is not an exponent of big armament. Former Sergeant Harvey Wright between shots at his target on the campus rifle range, gave his rea sons for believing as he does. “They’ve got the idea that ‘patri otic preparedness promotes peace,’ but that is an illusion. As long as armaments increase we will be threatened by warfare. That’s what started the last war—too much com petition in armaments.” The cruiser bill, which provides that beginning in 1931, the govern ment-shall build five cruisers every year for three years, is inconsistent with the Kellogg peace pact, the ex-marine declares. (Continued on Tage Two) Exam Dates Problem For Faculty Today New Registration System Up for Consideration to Eliminate ‘Red Tape' Fee May Be Charged For Dropping Courses Curtailing of Professors’ Signatures Is Possible Now registration procedure aimed to curtail “red tape” and Hie wim ter term exam schedule are prob - lems which will ho. voted on nt tliij monthly fac ultr meeting to bpjheld tod;iy. As explained re cently b.v Knrl M. Pallet t, registrar, the proposed reg istration s y s t cm would eliminate all signing up for courses with the individual profes sors. i inn r imp new E. M. Pallett system flip stu dent would first obtain bis registration material at the men’s gymnasium, confer with his advjsor and then file his sched ule at the Igloo.

The winter term exam schedule was printed in the Emerald of Wed nesday, February 27, with the un derstanding • that some changes might be made, provided it failed to receive the faculty's o. 1i. It will be reprinted in the last Emer ald of the term which will be issued the last of this week. At today’s meeting the question of dropping courses will be consid ered. A recommendation will be made to change rules regulating this so that the student would have to obtain comment from his instructoi on the kind of work he had been doing, the instructor’s signature and would be required to pay a fee of $1 for withdrawing. Included in the same measure is the setting of the latest date for withdrawing to come three weeks before final ex aminations.

Long, another major in pre-law from Rose burg, tangle with a team from Al bany college. Oregon will have the negative of the question “Resolved, that the jury should be abolished.” Senatorial juries, petit juries, juries for the investigation of death, and grand juries will be discussed as instruments in American justice. The issues will probably center around the susceptibility of the trial jury to bribes and flights of oratory by lawyers and its value in insur ing justice to the members of the great American democracy. Portland People Are Pleased With Chorus Singers University Orchestra Will Appear on Next Program Of Portland Symphony The University of Oregon chorus of 100 mixed voices sung before nearly a capacity audience in the Portland auditorium Monday night in a joint program with the Port land symphony orchestra. The Portland people applauded the students heartily. This was the first time the university chorus has appeared with the Portland orches tra, and according to John Mtark Evans, director of the university group, the Portland appearance may be made an annual affair. The Oregon students who made the trip to Portland express much admiration and favor for Willem van Hoogstraten, the conductor of the symphony orchestra; and he in turn was generous in his acclama tion of the chorus. Some time near the first of April, the Portland symphony orchestra will appear in Eugene in another joint concert with the university singers, and at this time the univer sity orchestra will take part in the progra m.

Tito Schipa Says Marriage Most Exciting Occasion In All Life “Mr. Schipa, what were the most exciting few minutes in your life?” asked the reporter of Tito Schipa, premier lyric tenor. “Why, I think, when I was mar ried . . . just when I placed the ring on my wife’s finger,” Schipa ans wered, interspersing every three words or so with a wave of his hand.

His eyes sparkle, and his teeth glisten when he smiles, and he smiles often when he speaks. He uses his hands to emphasize his remarks, and often repeats a word. He places his words in his sentences oddly at times, and is a bit self-conscious about it. He explained, “Yes, yes, L sing English perfectly, but I’m afraid to speak to people.” Besides English ho speaks French, Spanish, and Ital ian; he sings an additional four languages including Efl Eli, yiddish. Schlpa, and his secretary, Harvy Cahill, spoke to one another during the interview in French, Schipa opened a telegram he had received downstairs at the office of the Eugene hotel. Without a word he handed it to Mr. Cahill. It read, (Continued on rage Two)
