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.

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

Dr. Hodge spent most of the
year in Africa, studying geological
formations there, and is now in
Paris, preparing to sail for home.

REINHART EAVES
EXTENSION WORK
An extension course in civiliza
tion and art epochs is being con
ducted this term in Albany by Dr.
Kurt F. Reinhardt, assistant pro
fessor of Germanic languages. The
course, according to Dr. Rein
hardt, corresponds to a class in
the department of architecture on
the campus, and is a continuation
of the course which was offered
in Albany last term for the first
time.
About thirty students enrolled
in the course, which met for the
first time Monday evening, mainly
high school teachers and students
from Albany college. The study
of this subject, says Dr. Rein
hardt, gives a survey of the de
velopment of art and civilization
through the ages and especially
tries to demonstrate the muttial
rela'ions between art and civiliza
tion and to give a description of
the different styles in the hfstory
of art.

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.
Divers out include Don Neer,
eigiith ranking national amateur
