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. . .

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.

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.

Steve Smith Will
Coach Tennis, Is
Stoddard’s Word
New Mentor Once Member
Of Oxford Net Team;
Material Strong
By BRAD HARRISON
S. 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.

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.

Poorer Swimmers
Work Harder, Is
Silverman’s Word
440-Yard Record Held by
Chunky Oregon Man;
Still Under 21
This is Charles Silverman’s last
year on the Webfoot swimming
team. 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.

CLOGGING CLASS
PLANS NEW CLVB
A new clogging club, under di
rection of Miss Margaret M. 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.
