Side L ines Football Humors Cover Campus Gopher Mentor Reported Visitor . . . Reinhart Prominently Men tioned . . . ■■ By Harry Van Dine — •— pAMPUS rumor has again turn ^ ed to the present burning question of the future Oregon head football coach, with the re port that Dr. C. W. Spears, head mentor at Minnesota, was a vis itor on the Oregon campus Sun- j day, the idea that a mid-western j man would head the Webfoots j next season has again flared up. The whole report is unofficial, with Oregon athletic heads refus ing to either confirm or deny the story. No one seems to know just what it is all about, or if they do they are keeping it strictly to themselves. In the meantime no action has been taken to termin ate Captain John J. McEwan’s contract so he is still head coach. Jack Benefiel admitted that he had a stack of applications but he declared that, as far as he knew, Dr. Spears had not been in Eu gene. ^RESIDENT HALL, Virgil IX A Earl, director of athletics, and Dr. Deloert Stannard, alumni rep resentative on the, athletic commit tee likewise refused to discuss the matter. There was no record at local hotels of Spears having stayed in Eugene over the week end. In spite of all this rumor persists that he will be Oregon's next grid mentor. His Minnesota, teams have been among the best in the mid-west for several sea sons and he has turned out many great players. His teams stress the power attack style, quite the opposite from the policies of Mc Ewan. There is all the dope draw your own conclusions about the future grid coach at the old Alma Mater. # <n * ¥10W does this one strike you? Bill Reinhart as head coach, with Prink Callison as his assist ant and Gene Shields either lino or freshman coach. That is the proposition that the lettermen okeyed and it doesn't sound half had. Bill has had plenty of ex perience is well liked on the cam pus, and is a hard \®,rker. Calli son has proved his worth with the freshman team this year, and he is a great student of football. Shields, one of Oregon's great guards in his collegiate days, served on the coaching staff last year and is a capable man. All of these men are on the campus, and would furnish the needed young coaching staff. They know the members of the team, their strong points and their weaknesses, and they would have a veteran team back for the first year. Then Cal lison has a wealth of material from last year's freshman team coming up. He has coached many of these men since they first start ed high school. * iH Tl* KANVV'HILIO there are two 1 other names that, have not been officially scratched off the prospect list, and the men are still considered in tire running. Both have made good records as coach es and are nationally known fig ures. They are Andy Kerr, of Colgate, and Dr. John Wilce, ex Ohio State mentor. Kerr has coached at several schools and has been successful. He is of the newer school of mentors, and his elevens play fast, tricky football. Wilce retired after many years at the Buckeye institution and has been in private life since. His Ohio State teams were among the best in the country and he was considered among the best in the game, fie has not the youth of Reinhart and is not as familiar with conditions on the coast, but he has hud plenty of experience. There are numerous others in the field for the job but the selection seems to have narrowed down to these four men. Dr. H. P. Cady, of tho Univer sity of Kansas, after a long re search with the collaboration of David McFarland, has evolved a method of extracting quantities of helium gas from natural gas.

Webfoot Quintet Works Hard for Cougar Fray PullmanTeain To Play Here Friday Night Return of Chastain Puls Webfoot Stock on Higher Level Reinhart Will Start His Regular Lineup In preparation with the opening of the conference season with Washington State tomorrow night the Webfoot has ketball squad put in a thorough practice period last evening. Billy Reinhart is work ing the boys over time in an effort to come through with a victory over the Cougars. | H A large part of BUI Reinhart yesterday's work out consisted of scrimmage and the perfecting of a fast passing attack that Oregon will rely on to pierce the Cougar defensive. Although the Oregon team haH plenty of speed, the coordination and timing of their short, swift passes has been bad in pre-confer ence games. Whether they can develop an accurate attack in time for the game Friday night is the big question. Chastain Back The return to school of Mervyn Chastain, two-year letterman, has strengthened Webfoot basketball hopes considerably. Handicapped by un injured shoulder last year. Chastain remained one of the fastest men on the team. He is shoeing his old speed again this yeaFTfnd his shoulder has not been bothering him although he still weark a brace. Starting Lineup Given Dolp and Calkins, forwards; Jean Kberhart, center; Olinger and Horner, guards, have been starting and will probably get the call again with Hughes and Chas tain certain of seeing plenty of action. The final practice will he held l his afternoon, after which Rein hart will select his starting lineup for tomorrow night. LACROSSE CUES WAY TO HOCKEY At the W. A. A. council meet ing held Tuesday evening lacrosse practice was voted to continue, but only two days a week, Tues days and Thursdays. The pur pose of this was to give more time to those who are trying out for the hockey team that will play the all-American team coming Inter this month. It was also decided to recom mend that the constitution be amended to again allow girls to earn 500 points a year as previous ly. This past term the sports were operated so girls could only go out for one sport. Announce ment was also made that no girl who has not made a 3.5 average last term can go out for a sport this term. A program will be put on for ttie benefit of the high school stu dents to give them an idea of the work of YV. A. A. in the field of sport. Basket ball practice for women started Monday night and will continue every day at 5 o'clock except on Mondays, when it will start at 4:45, according to Lucille Murphy, head of basketball. Freshmen and seniors will pint tico on Mondays anti Thursdays; sophomores and juniors on Tues days and Fridays. Wednesday is open, and three practices a week are required except for those hav ing any conflicts. “FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH" LACKS RENEWAL PEP (Cimliimnl frvm Vtujc One I face of a mountain about 1.200 feet high.

Rumors Tangled Situation Cleared By Complete Statements By JACK BL'RKE “-thus spoke Virgil D. Earl, athletic director, giving in as many words his opinion as to whether or not Cap McEwan’s successor would be Dr. J. W. Spears, of Minnesota, who was in Eugene Monday. “Don’t quote me though,” shout ed Earl as, with a yell of triumph at having solved the riddle, the reporter made his exit. "- ,” were the words of Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, when the reporter, seeking to con firm the athletic director’s story, put the same question to the man who should be in a position to know the answer. His answer was identical to Earl's but “not for publication.” " ,” was the utterance of Dr. Del Stannard, member of the executive council, who by his well choser. words confirmed what the others interviewed before him, had said. “You won’t quote me, though, will you?” and the reporter, true to his profession’s reputation, for being able to keep a confidence, has not quoted him. (It was easy, for there was nothing to keep.) Almost in desperation, the re porter called Tom Stoddard, who said as much as the others, being out both times he was called. In case the reader may get the wrong impression by the state merits quoted above, there will be a coach next season. There al ways has been and there seems to be no reason for being so uncon ventional as to dispense with this official entirely. Somebody must know something about it for it is difficult to imagine a group of men such as these from wasting so much time and between you and me they do know something but it is “not for publication." LIVING ORGANIZATIONS TO PRESENT PROGRAMS (Continued from Page One) directors of KORE. Letters from townspeople and from the campus giving criticism and commenda tions for the programs as they appear will be taken into consid eration by the judges in making their final decision. All such let ters should be addressed to sta tion KORE, Eugene." Frank Hill, program director at KORE station, considers the con test one of the greatest innova tions in radio broadcasting, as well as an unique outlet for intra mural rivalry. "The contest is certain to create a great deal of interest throughout the North west. So far as I know, nothing like it has ever been attempted on ihe Pacific coast, and it is cer tain to create a great deal of in terest throughout the state. Opportunity Shown "I believe that the contest pre sents a glowing opportunity for individual performers to gain state-wide recognition, since the broadcasts will be followed care fully by radio and theatrical pro ducers of the Northwest.” lir. -ipj TAYLOR U.-DRIVE SYSTEM ATTENTION STUDENTS j Talk to us about our new low rates j Late Model Gfaham Paige !

Peter Pan Cafe Keen Interest In Oregon Rifle Team Predicted 40 Marksmen Reporting On R.O.T.C. Indoor Target Range The manly art of self defense in the form of rifle practice is the subject of greater interest this quarter than for some years, ac cording to Lieutenant Herbert of the R. O. T. C., who expects a turnout of nearly forty men on the rifle range. The greater interest he attrib utes to the recognition given the rifle team last year by the asso ciated students in the form of pins for the members of the team by the R. O. T. C. Another fac tor that created interest was the recommendation last quarter by We Fill Prescriptions Full Line of Drugs Two Registered Pharmacists University Pharmacy ‘'The Students’ Drag Store’ ’ the Order of the O that should Oregon turn out a rifle team win ning the national inter-collegiate championship, then the team should be given sweaters and an “O,” and target practice would be given the status of a major sport. “This year should be the ban ner year for Oregon's rifle team,’’ Lieutenant Herbert said. “We have a nucleus to work with com posed of men who' were on the team last year. Heretofore it has been a case of breaking-in an en tirely new team. I really belierve that Oregon is going to make a great showing this year.” MANY VACCINATIONS GIVEN TO STL7DENTS Dr. F. N. Miller, director of the University health service, states that the smallpox epidemic re ported in the vicinity of Eugene has not yet touched the campus. There are no cases among Uni versity members. The call oftered by the health service to vaccinate students free of charge has been responded to. Forty-eight vaccinations were made Tuesday and about 70 yes terday. As yet, only one living organi zation, which had a large number of students wishing to be vaccin ated, had members of the health service call at the house and per form the vaccinations there. sr ■.0 And The Pledge's Dream Is a pin just like our seniors wear . . . and there is a pin for every pledge and a design for every house.
