Large Entry Expected in Water Meet Intramural Traditions To Forbid Giving of Trophy Gup Entry Blanks Mailed to All Organizations I *> ___ «. 8 : Entries for the men's intramur al swimming meet will close at 5 p. m. Friday, January 24. The cup that was to be presented to the winners is not to be given. j It is expected that the turnout for the meet will be large. The fact that a cup will not be the ob- ] ject for winning the meet is not expected to influence the list of entries at all since in the past there has always been enthusiasm for donuts sports when only the title “Champions” was the dis tinction received. In regard to the cup which was to be presented by the Co-op, G. L. Hermance, promoter of the intra mural program of the school, said yesterday, “The department of physical education for men has not presented cups for intramural competition since 1923. It was through a misunderstanding of the policy on which intramural sports are conducted that it was announc ed a cup would be offered.” Track and baseball in the past have been handled by the athletic department and frequently cups have been offered in those activ ities. Blank entry forms are being mailed to all fraternities and when filled out can be given to Johnny Anderson, captain of the varsity, Jim Haley, swimming manager, or left at the gym office. Letters Reveal Book Attracts Wide Attention Research Gains Interest From Authorities, Says Dean That the recently published re search, "Oregon Hardwoods In dustries,” made by William A. Kowler and Ronald Robnett for the Bureau of Business Research is attracting national interest is evidenced by two letters received by Dean David E. Faville, of the school of business administration. Both letters from nationally known men, who are authorities in their field, and their interest in the book is, believes Dean Baville, an indication of its worth mid import ance to business research. G. B. Roorbach, head of the for eign trade department of the Har vard graduate school of business writes: “I am glad indeed to have this book, both because of its content and because it illustrates the sort of original research which I think is important and quite appropri ate for a school of business to un dertake." The other letter comes from Ira B. Cross, head of the economics department of the University of California. "I am very happy to see that the University is doing something to arouse good citizens of Oregon to appreciate their op portunities," writes Professor Cross. “I rather feel that in many ways tlie people of Oregon have betn somewhat backward in de veloping their natural resources and that much remains to be done. 1 hope your report will have wide circulation and be helpful in build ing up a new spirit among your business men."

SIDE «£♦< ♦♦♦ ^ T f TV F S Harry Van Dine -I—/ J. 1 ^ -®—/ O' Jimmy Phelan and ‘Doc’’ Spears Again Rivals RIVALRY between the new football mentors of the Universities of Washington and Oregon, which has waged in the Western con ference for several years, is getting well started on the coast even before Dr. C. W. Spears has arrived to take up his new duties at Oregon. It won’t be long now until things should be booming along these lines. Already the University of Washington Daily has com pared the 1929 records of the two mentors, showing, naturally, that Jimmy Phelan, the new Huskie mentor, had an edge. What the Wash ington paper failed to show, however, was the clear superiority of Dr. Spears' record for the many years previous to 1929. “Washington’s Loss Is Oregon’s Gain” reads an article com ing from a famous Chicago sports writer. This gentleman should know, as he has been on the Western conferenee battlefront to see the teams play. Warren Brown, sports editor of the Chicago Herald-Examiner, is the authority w'ho has declared himself in favor of Spears. Brown wrote that Spears is a big-leaguer among big leagues, and he gave plenty of facts to back up his statement. He states, “Incidentally ‘Hoc’ Spears is one of the two coaches in football who has defeated ‘Pop’ Warner’s teams two years’ running. . . . Make no mistake about Spears.” The Chicago sports scribe goes on to declare, “And with all due respect to Phelan and his Notre Dame technique, far be it from me to fail in the suggestion that what was Washington's loss will be Oregon’s gain. For ‘Doc’ Spears was also at one time very much in the running for that Washington job, which went to Phelan undoubt edly because the Huskies had gathered the wrong impression that Spears was another of those ‘power’ coaches. Well, ‘Doc’ Spears is a ‘power’ coach, whatever that is. But he is also an exponent of opening up the game, and a coach who knows and has proven his ability to teach what the forward pass is, and what it can be used for.’’ Proposed Gopher Changes Already Here IJOTH Spears and Phelan were ** classed among the three best young coaches in the Big Nine by Brown, the other mentor being Dick Hanley, who recently renew ed his contract for seven years at I Northwestern. He declares that | California teams will have to look to their laurels with Spears and Phelan operating in the North west. In explanation he declares, "This doesn't call for any prophet ic gift-4 Both Phelan and Spears have proved their worth under fire and 'Doc,' since the truth must be told, has come through , more fire than Phelan." At any rate, the Northwest has recently acquired two of the greatest foot ball coaches in the country and wc are sure to see some real fire works when their teams mix in Portland next fall. TO/E notice with Interest Unit | Minnesota is aboil! to Make i some sweeping changes In the j athletic department of the tio | pher institution. I>r. Spears ; has fought these conditions for i years, and the university senate ! committee on Intercollegiate athletics at the Minneapolis school is determined to carry on the hat tie. The changes arc ex pected to lie so “radical” that they may affect the relation of the (iophers with the other members of tin- Itig Nine con ference. All of this is Interest inj;t some of it is surprising. Oregon students will be inter ested to know that the five points which are causing so much trouble in the middle west, have been in operation here at Oregon for some time. Few students realize that we are as far ahead of some eastern schools as facts prove. 1 1 ERF, are the five points which * are causing the uproar at Minnesota, and which are working out very nicely here at Oregon. ]. Organization of a full time freshman football coaching staff. 2. Curriculum adjustments so that all football candidates may practice after 4 p. m., to elimin ate night practices. 3. Availability of athlete’s scholastic standings to coaches at all times. 4. Appointment of a special athletic publicity director. b. Permission for the football coach to present his own program in person or in writing to the ath letic committee. We, here at Oregon, take ail of these measures as to be expected and it seems surprising to us that other schools should be hav ing difficulties about them. Dr. Spears should be very satisfied with the conditions here at Ore gon as they include every main is sue he lias been fighting for at Minnesota. ! LIFE-SAVING CLASS FOR W/W STARTED A class for men in life-saving started last Tuesday and will meet again today between 4 and 5 o'clock in the men's pool.

In the discussion it was brought out that installment buying has in creased consumption and has en abled the consumer to enjoy the use of more goods, both necessi ties and luxuries. On the other hand, opponents of the plan declared, installment buying leads to unwise expendi tures, and it keeps the working class constantly in debt. It is easy to spend, they said, when one has not yet earned the money. The proposed football stadium will be discussed at the next meet ing of the club, January 29. George Bateman, freshman in pre law, will introduce the topic. This topic will be the first of the list to be discussed this term which will be used in the Vice president public speaking award contest, according to Wallace Campbell, chairman of the con test. iiiiiiwii!HiiiiiaiiiiniiniBiiittaiiii«wiiim!iiuiiiiimiiii2E 1 NUTSandCANDIES muimiRniifflnBnfflmiimiimiiinnnniiiimiiMiHmHiiiaiiiiii To munch on between meals.
