Newspaper Page TextSide L J^ines Several Sports Attract . . . “Steve” Smith New Coach . . . Bearcats Realize Ambition . . . By Harry Van Dine W/1TH active practice being held daily in several sports, Oregon students should not be at a loss for physical activity. Basketball leads the list in the amount ox interest shown by the students, but with swimming, tennis, wrest ling, boxing, track, fencing, and other minor sports in full swing there is a wide choice for the would be athlete. It seems that the addition of new sports to the modern program will never cease, and now women are increasing their activities as well as men. The cinder path artists of Coach Bill Hayward will soon turn out to begin their long grind to get in condition for the coming season. Activities ..in ..swimming, tennis, wrestling, boxing, and fencing will soon start, and there are var ious other forms of intramural athletics on tap for the remainder of the term. Even before the vai sjty basketball season has closed. Coach Bill Reinhart will have his Webfoot baseball team out for practice. So it goes, some major athletic activities are in full swing at all times to give the students of the University plenty of athletic competition. * # * WASHINGTON State is mak ing use. of the Cougars’ new field house, and incidentally is getting the jump on the other Northwest track teams. Coach Karl Schlademan’s Cougar track stars are working out four times u week on the indoor track, and the Washington Stute mentor predicts a good year for the Cougars. “I look for a much better team than the one last year,” he declared re cently. “The facilities offered by the early workouts in the field hous'e and some splendid material coming up from the yearling squad should make the Cougars one of the fastest stepping squads in the confer ence.” About 50 men are work ing out at present hut this num ber is expected to l»e increased by 100 more during the term. * # * fTTHE appointment of "Steve” Smith as Oregon’s new tennis coach has caused considerable comment about the possibilities of the Webfoot racquet wielders dur ing the coming season. Coach Smith, as the well-known English professor may now be called, has had plenty of experience on the courts, and he is a racquet swing er of no mean ability himself. He may be seen almost *ny day, weather permitting, working out on the University courts. With the veteran Sherman Lockwood back for another year of compe tition, and with Stan Almquist ex pected to again be in school spring term. Coach Smith 1ms the foun dation of a real squad. He will have to develop a strong team to equal Abercrombie’s record, but be will have plenty of good mater ial coining up from the freshnmu team. The Webfoots won the championship of the Pacific coast last year, and later tied the Uni versity of Texas for the national intercollegiate title. 'pUK Willamette Bearcats cer tainly had the hear sign on the Wehfoots in basketball this season. Coach Bill Keinhart's varsity tossers took another one on the chin at the hands of the Salem team Thursday night, which made the series stand to 0 in favor of Willamette. This record is something unus ual, in fact it might he said to harken hack to the old days when Willamette was on a par with Oregon and the other ma jor colleges in athletics. The Wehfoots have a lull week of practice in which to prepare for the Cniversity of Washington Huskies, probably the strong est team in the conference again this year. Coach Itclnhart will have liis men hard at work all week, as it would he a real up set it the Wehfoots could take the Huskies into •camp. \fter the Washington series will come the lirst of four battle* with gnn Stati . lor the supremacy °of the state, or would it he the su premacy of the state if Oregon won? Iteinemher, the Bearcats might claim the title. . . Freshmen at U. S. C. are not compelled to obey lrosh tradi tions. The ban was lifted after Homecoming week in I'eceniber.

Freshman Basketball Team Wins Wild Game From® Hagan’s Pearpicker Quintet, 46 to 19 Medford Five Outclassed By Yearling Men Sieginuml, Morgan, Stahl Star; Defensive Work Poor Prink Callison Uses Dozen Players in Contest The Oregon frosh took a wild basketball game from Medford high school at the men’s gymna sium last night by the massive, one-sided score of 46 to 19. The Pearpicker five was outclassed all around, especially in shooting. Time after time Medford worked the ball out in the open only to miss the 4ioop. Although both teams played rough and ragged, occasional flashes of brilliance colored the tilt. The frosh uncovered the fact that they have the necessary speed and stamina but lack the coordination and basket eye that can be gained only with a lot of intensive practice. Prink Callison's quintet started out in a bufiiness-like manner and soon ran up a 13-point lead be fore Medford touched the score board. Callison then began throw ing in substitutes and before the end of the half he had an entire new team in action. The frosh shot from everywhere. They had little trouble eluding the Pearpicker defense, but they missed many easy flips from un der the basket. Superior speed niartoad the yearling attack, es pecially in working the ball down the floor and breaking up the Med ford organization. The half end ed with the score: Frosh 21, Med ford 7. Both teams handled themselves better during the next period. Clay of Medford struck the range with two field goals and two free throws, taking high point honors for his team with a total ,of 8. With the score 35 to 16, Don Sieg mund started sinking his shots and from then on the frosh pulled steadily away from Medfrod’s to tal. The Pearpickers seemed tired from matching speed with the reserves which Callison used late in the game. Siegmund was high scorer for the frosh with 12 markers, all on field goals. Bill Morgan's effec tive checking stood out on the defensive side, while George Becchler, Cap Roberts, anil Homer Stahl also turned in good per formances. Prink Callison used 12 players, frequently shifting his proteges as the frosh lead mounted. Summary: Medford tie) (46i Frosh Thomas (1). F .14) James Lord t5i F (41 Stahl Hughes.

I'keference (,nt:\ K.O.T.C. STiDENTS A letter from the war depart ment announcing that K. O. T. C. graduates will be given a prefer ential status in their candidacy for appointments as cadets in the United States army air corps, was received today by Major Kred ■ ■lick A. Barker. . The announce merit. came through the office ot Adjutant General D. A. Watt” In further explanation, the let ter went on to say: ‘'Successful completion id the course will qualify the student as a second lieutenant la the air corps reserve," and tluit the stu-I dent, will then be privileged to take the examination lor a regular ar my appointment. According to Major Barker, the war department is showing gieat er prelcf'eticc u.-q r ear to tad-! hat*. of the II O. 1. C school., in Totten in Car Wreck •f* H* Barometer Staff Safe So busy was Carl Totten, editor of the Daily official grinder at O. A, C., in hunting for past insult hurled at the Aggies by the Uni versity of Oregon, that he was involved in another automobile ac cident, according to a dispatch received last night. This is the fourth accident in which Totten has participated during the last two months. Totten was returning to Corval lis late Wednesday night with a group of friends when his car skidded on the snow-covered pave ment and overturned, in a ditch. No one of the occupants was in jured, although the top was smash ed and fenders badly damaged. All passengers were members of the Barometer staff. filling appointments to the air schools. He further stated as his opinion, that the time would come when practically all appointments to the army air corps would be from the ranks of R. O. T. C. stu dents of the various colleges in the United .States. The next class for which stu dents may obtain appointments begins July 1, 1930. Elliott Looks for Biggest and Best Year in Wrestling ‘Lillie Joe’ Jansa, Mere 240-Poumler, First To Affix Name to List “The biggest and best mat tour nament since I came here three years ago,” was the prophecy made by Harry Elliott, genial wrestling instructor, for the com ing meet on January 30-31. In terest is running unusually high in the cauliflower sport this year, so many aspiring proteges report ing for practice that Mr. Elliott is unable to keep track of them all. The first man to affix his sig nature to the entry list yesterday afternoon was “Little Joe” Jansa, who weighs a mere 210 pounds, and has decided gladiatorial ambi tions. Joe had been suffering from lack of competition until Pat Lucas, who carries 197 pounds of brawn, transferred his talents from the gridiron to the mat. When these two pachyderms are playfully mauling each other around, one can always find the handball courts below them com pletely deserted. Only one casualty has been re ported so far. Floyd Bowers, a promising middleweight, ran afoul of one of Coach Elliott's vicious headlocks and suffered a slight shoulder injury during the fall. However, it is expected he will be in shape for the tourney. CLASSIFIED ADS PIANO JAZZ Popular songs Im mediately; beginners or ad vanced; twelve - lesson course. Waterman System. Leonard J.

Stephenson Smith, associate professor of English, yesterday was named as the new Webfoot tennis coach, according to Tom Stoddard, student body president. Smith will succeed Edward F. Abercrombie, who resigned at the end of last season to take up ad vanced studies at Columbia uni versity, New York. A graduate of Reed "College, Portland, and also a Rhodes scholar, Smith is an ardent ten nis fan. He played tennis while in England, and was reported as a member of the Oxford tennis squad. Since his appearance on the’ campus, the new Webfoot coach has been a prominent figure in tennis circles. _ Tennis Individual Gable Tennis is an individual game. Beyond the base fundamentals, in dividual coaching must be given. Too often is the case where an excellent player lacks the ability to convey his knowledge to en thusiastic pupils. Smith has ob tained a thorough working knowl edge of the game by the study of books by authorities and constant practise, and on top of this he has the ability to teach. This appointment has not been a surprise to members of the team, for Smith has been in charge of practically all tennis ac tivities on the campus since last fall term. Every member of the team has met and played with Smith and expressed a willingness to work hard under him. Material Held Good With an abundance of good ma terial at present, such as Lock wood and Hoogs, and the possi bility of Altpquist and Jason re turning in the spring term, Smith is expected to round out a well balanced team by the end of April. With thi3 material Oregon is doped to clean up in the Pacific Northwest and also on the Pacific coast. Plans for practice have already been released and a good turn out is expected. The decorations , in the igloo have temporarily sus- ! pended any matches being played 1 in the ladder tournament, but they i | will resume on Monday. r»*r ■■ Elected Head Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, who was re cently elected president of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism. NEW DEPARTMENT ADDED TO LIBRARY One of the latest additions to the University of Oregon library is a feature which has never be fore been known on this camps. The reference library has estab lished a file for exceptional papers written by undergraduates. All good manuscripts which are writ ten for such contests as the W. F. Jewett contest, debates, . Failing Beekrpan oratorical contest, and all other papers from the public speaking department will be filed for future reference. These manuscripts have taken hours of research and preparation. There are more authoritative statements in these manuscripts which the students compile them sef^es than in any one magazine article. These papers will be of great value to the student in future years who is to participate in any of these contests. With very lit tle trouble he will be able to ob tain material from these files which will be true,, authoritative, clear and compact.

Two years ago he broke the Northwest intercollegiate rec ■rd in the 440-yard swim. Las year he lowered his own mark. These achievements are remark able for he is not yet 21. “Where did I learn to swim?” replied Chuck in answer to a question. “It was at Shattuck grammar school in Portland when I was in the second or third grade. Jimmy Burke, brother of Dorothy Burke of “Ed’s Co-ed” fame, taught me how and ^’ve been swimming ever since. “It was mighty nice that the school had • a tank, but I would have learned to swim anyhow. I went to Lincoln high, which had no tank, but by then I was swim ming at a club and in the river or at the parks during the sum mer. “I think anyone can become a good swimmer from steady prac tice. The most noticeable thing about an expert swimmer is that he has developed the co-ordination between his arm and leg strokes to perfection. The big mistake ra--—..——,,—„— inexperienced men make is that they .keep their muscles too taut. You can notice them because they do not relax. Their arms make a smacking sound when they hit the water.” Chuck, of course, intends to keep on swimming after he grad uates. One might suspect he has ambitions and also predict that he will fulfill them. One of them may be winning some of these long distance marathons. Three Games Talked Of for Grid Season Though football is a thing of the past and the future at the present time, an announcement that negotiations are being car ried on to add three games to*the 1930 schedule, is of interest at this time. • Oregon has three open dates on its schedule and the three teams considered for the dates are the Olympic club of San Francisco, Gonzaga, and the Santa Clara team. As yet the arrangements that have been made are of an indefi nite nature and it is expected that some time will lapse before the games are definitely scheduled, ac cording to Jack Benefiel, graduate manager. The adding of these three games ! | would give Oregon a well-balanced schedule of 12 games, seven games being scheduled at the reg ular meeting of the Pacific Coast conference.

Dun can, instructor in the physical edu cation department, met for the first time Thursday evening at Gerlinger hall. A committee of Barbara Lieuallen and Virginia Baker was selected to nominate officers. This is the first time that a clogging club has been attempted on the Oregon campus, the idea being conceived last fall term by Miss Duncan's advanced class. The club is essentially for those women on the campus who are in terested in knowing more about clogging and in learning new and original dances. Anyone desiring to join may se cure membership by passing a test which is to be arranged later by members of the club. It is also being planned to write to the uni versities of California and Wash ington, both of which have clubs, to obtain ideas for the one being started here. The next meeting of the new organization is to be held next Thursday at 7:30 in the gym of Gerlinger hall.
