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. Ab
solutely and emphatically not!
No longer will the mistreated
yearlings have to sit through an as
sembly hour, when the sun is shin
ing outside and the mill race simply
shrieks for them to come and lightly
dip their paddles—at least they
won’t for the rest of the term. So,
when you see the campus flooded
with green caps and shrieking maid
ens Thursday at 11, you will know
there is NO’ ASSEMBLY!

Legislature Gives
Campus $285,000
School to Have Millafie
Increase if Tax Works
Salem, Ore., March f>.—(Special)
—The session of the legislature .just
ended 1ms added in round numbers
some $28o,000 to tlio University of
Oregon fin,‘iifPes for the next hicn
liium, a (‘hock today showed. 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.

The winter term exam schedule
was printed in the Emerald of Wed

ency through greater centralization.
The two advisory members chosen
are Alsou Bristol and Wilbur Sohm,
both of whom have been very active
in Y. M. C. A. work. Bristol, who
is the retiring president of the “Y,”

Frosh Debaters Meet
Albany Team Tonight
Frosh men debaters will open
their schedule with a contest to
night at 7:30 in 107 Villard hall
when Arthur' Potwin, a major in
pre-law, Albany, and John V. 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.

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

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. When the/ reporter remarked
reverently, “And it’s lasted all
these years.” Schipa said quickly,
“No, no, I don’t want to divorce
her.”
Tito Schipa who is to appear to
night at McArthur court, 8:15
o’clock, is a small man, with power
fully built shoulders. 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

he handed it to Mr. Cahill. It read,
