Side L ines Coaching- Staff Unsettled . . . Anderson To t.oad Swimmers No Tennis Flans Made. . . -By Harry Van Dine-— V^ITH all the rumpus about the ” football coaching situation drawing the greater part of stu dent interest at present, the con ditions of two very Successful mi nor sports have faded into the background. In neither of these sports has the selection of a coach been made, although the season for one is very near at hand. No use guessing - swimming and ten nis are the sports concerned. No one will deny the fact that Oregon gained national recognition last year in each of these athletic ac tivities, with Ed Abercrombie di recting the destinies of each of them. The Webfoots won the coast championship in tennis and were second, only to Stanford in swimming. The Oregon racquet wielders met the University of Texas team, -national intercolleg iate title holders, and broke even. ■ The members of the Oregon team then toured east and won many honors for their alma mater. i BER CROMBIE’S swimming team was almost as success ful and the Webfoots were pre dicted to be in the running for na tional honors this year. Now all those plans have faded, Abercrom bie is no longer coach, and the Oregon squad hasn’t even lined up a real schedule. It is true that swimming and tennis were never paying sports financially, but wc hate to see them go into discard after the long period spent in building up good teams. Much of the success of the Webfoots last year should go to Abercrombie, who was himself a swimmer of national renown. He worked hard to place Oregon on the na tional map in swimming and ten nis and he succeeded last year in doing this. When the prospects were very bright for the greatest season in Webfoot athletic history Coach Abercrombie was allowed to leave Oregon. * * * WfE said that no coach has been selected for swimming and we meant that no full time coach had been chosen. .John Anderson, the tow-headed water flash, will direct the destinies of the Web foots this year and he is as good a leader as one could find in stu dent ranks. However, with the prospects this year, we think the team should have a full time coach, who, like Abercrombie, would also serve in the depart ment of physical education. Swim ming was put on a major sports basis last year along with several other former minor sports, and it is one of the most popular sports on the campus. At the North western meet last year hundreds of people were turned away from the gates when the seating capac ity at the women’s pool was ex hausted. A major meet would dfhw as many people at any time. An effort will be made to bring the University of California water splashers here for a meet this wln t<y: » * * action has been taken on a tennis coach for this year’s .team. Oregon should again place a strong team in the field with the veterans Sherm Lockwood and Stan Almquist again ready for play. Brad Harrison, who has a string of titles a yard long, and Henry Neer, another veteran, will be sorely missed from the team this year, but there are several promising sophomores coming up to fill their places. Harrison is again in school but will not be eli gible as he attended California a year and thereby lost a year of competition after he transferred. He knows tennis thoroughly and will be able to help the Webfoots in their training. As long as Ore gon is going in for student coach es none better could be found in the country than Harrison. V. M.

First Conference Game 1 Varsity Hoop Squad Points For Cougars RciiAarl Works Team To Smooth Its Defense Performance Washington State Looks To Be Contemler With the opening game Of their conference series but a few days off, and comparatively little time remaining to perfect their play, the varsity basketball team under Billy Reinhart, last night got to work in earnest to work towards removirflg the Stigma of defeat at the hands of the Willamette Bear cats. The game lost Monday night was a real test of the Webfoot power as the Salem team had a capable five which showed ex ceptional scoring .ability. The Ore gon team did look a little weak in defensive play and it is expected that this department of the game will be stressed in this week's practice sessions. Substitutes Used Eleven men • were used in the Bearcat game and it could be seen that the Lemon and Yellow coach was endeavoring to find a suitable combination which would function on the defense as well as the of fense. Vince Dolp and Cliff Horner who have thus far been the backbone of the Oregon team continue to show their ability in practice but the other members *>f the first five seem to be below their usual form. Cougars Strong Steve Fletcher, one of the sub stitutes rushed into Monday's gam'e, showed promise of good work when he scored five points while he was in the game. He has been handicapped by a late start, due to being tied down with football duties, but he is coming along rapidly. Washington State, the Web foots’ opponents in their opening game, are conceded a good change at the Northwest title as they fin ished well up toward the top in last year’s race and have practi cally the same lineup this year. Jack Friel, the Cougar coach, is anxious that this, his second season, will be as successful as was his last, and is determined to make a good showing Friday night. Geology Professor To Return From Trip Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, instructor in the geology department, who has been on a year’s leave of ab sence from the University, will return to Eugene the latter part of this month, according to word received by the geology depart ment.

Swimmers Be*rin To Show Ability; Anderson Coach Practices Held Daily and Material Includes Heal Stars With varsity swimming practice now a daily affair ,gnd the open ing of the season almost at hand it will soon be known who's going to swim what. Workouts start at 4:30 in the men's tank and consist of 30 min utes of swimming practice in per fecting strokes followed |by an equal period of water polo. All is under the supervision of Johnny Anderson, well known Oregon swimming ace, who is acting as coach. The 160 yard relay team will have Anderson and Harold Hatton back from last year’s squad and condidates for the other two plac es are A1 Edwards, Harry Hanson, Bob Hoogs, and Rosser Atkinson. Paul Lafferty and Ron Louis are the leaidng breast strokers. In the 440 yard (Jistance event Chuck Silverman, northwest cham pion, will be certain of one place and the choice of who will swim with him lies among Foster, Bish op, and Hanson. In the sprints Anderson, who is Pacific coast 40 yard champion and northwest champion in 50 and 100 yards, and Edwards will prob ably handle the competition. Bill McNabb, besides being the likely goalkeeper for the water pclo team, will probably swim the 150 yard backstroke. Three veterans from the water polo team, Floyd, Gillette, and Creech, are gone but there is a lot of material out to take their plac es. In fact the outlook for the water polo team is very bright with Anderson, Silverman, Laffer ty, Bishop, Atkinson, Edwards. Hanson, Foster, and Hoogs to make it up.
