Sigma Chi^Swimmers First in Close Intramural Contest
Phi Delts Fail
To Tie Score
By One Point
Large Crowds Turn Out
To Cheer Favorites
In Victories
Result in Doubt Until Last
Event Is Staged
By the margin of a single point
the Sigma Chis nosed out the Phi
Delts ant won the intramural
swimming meet last night. The
Sigma Nu men took third place,
but were far behind the leaders.
The final results were: Sigma
Chi, 22; Phi Delta Theta, 21; Sig
ma Nu, 5; Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
4; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 2. No other
houses competed.
The meet was run off in snappy
time and a capacity crowd got a
lot of excitement out of it. The
Sigma Chis had a three-point lead
over the Phi Delts at the start of
the final event, the 160-yard, four
man relay, and needed only to
take second place to win the meet.
They captured the second place
without any trouble, and although
the Phi Delts grabbed first, they
couldn’t catch up with their rivals
in total points.
100-Yard Race Close
Pete Slauson was responsible
for the Sigma Chi victory, for he
was the only man Lo win two first
places. He won the 40-yard free
style and the 300-yard free style
races.
Steve Fletcher won the 40-yard
breast stroke race for the Phi
Delts, and did it in the very good
time of 28.3 seconds.
The turning point of the meet
came when Slauson won the
fourth event, the 100 race, from
Jack Card, a Phi Delt. There was
only one-tenth of a second differ
ence in the times. Slauson did it
in 1 minute 11.2 seconds, and Card
1 minute 11.3 seconds.
Kelay Knee Lust
Charles Spear was judged best
diver, although Harold Blackborne
ran him a close second. Webb
Hayes won the 40-yard back stroke
when he beat George Stadleman
by two scant seconds.
The lead in the relay race
changed with almost every lap,
but the Phi Delt team, composed
of Jack Zane, Jack Card, Bill
Baker, and Webb Hayes, was good
enough to win. The S. A. E. team
was third but was disqualified, so
that place went to Sigma Phi Ep
silon.
The summary:
40-yard free style Slauson, Sig
ma Chi, first; Hendricks, Sigma
Chi, second; Goodrich, Sigma Nu,
third. Time; 22.1.
40-yard breast stroke Fletcher,
Phi Delta Theta, first; Baker, Phi
Delta Theta, second; Bartle, Sig

Oregon Athletic Name Again ‘Under Fire
A couple of years back the Oregon ca: pus was in an uproar
about the appropriate athletic name to be g./en Oregon teams, and,
when the smoke of the verbal battle had cleared, the old familiar
phrase of Webfoots was still holding forth over the Oregon teams.
Since that time, the name has constantly been hacked to pieces by
the press in different parts of the country. It seems as though no
one can get the name straight and frequently even Portland papers
get mixed up on it. Webfeet, Webfooters, and Webfoots have all been
used at times.
The Minnesota Daily, official publication of the University of
Minnesota and the paper which claims the honor of being the
“world’s largest college daily,” came to grief over the spelling
of the Oregon name shortly after IJr. Clarence W. Spears signified
his intentions of coming out here to take over the football reins.
In the issue of January 17, a writer in the mid-west publication
hit upon some pretty good dope concerning the Oregon name.
Here it is:
“Doc Spears accepts post of coach for Oregon ‘Webfoot’ aggre
gation, provides newspaper copy. And some material doesn't get into
‘copy.’ For instance heated arguments about plural form of nick
name, ‘Webfoot.’
“Defiant Daily copy-reader holds out against determined opposi
tion, insisting ‘Webfeet’ is the only correct form. ‘Webfoots ? Im
possible! Have you ever heard of “Blackfoots” ?’ Files are scanned,
phone calls are made but word-war waxes merry. Competent outside
advisers disagree; ‘Blackfeet’ and ‘Webfoot’ are hurled about freely;
‘hayfoot, strawfoot’ is ruled out of discussion. Headwriting gram
marian gleefully greets one authority who agrees that ‘Webfeet must
be right.’ ‘You know your onions, brother!’ “Yeah, but he doesn’t
know his feet.’ Resignedly, ’Well, we’d better consult Milton Work
about this one he knows his “hands" at least.’ ”
Siteurs Coming to Oregon for Cooperation
| N the same issue some interest
ing side lights on the real
reason for Dr. Spears’ move to
Oregon are given by Don Mc
Laughlin. The Gopher scribe de
clared that Dr. Spears had been
having a tough time of it with the
university officials, with little or
no cooperation between them. In
spite of ull reports to the contrary,
McLaughlin claimed that Spears
had no bed of roses as far as ma
terial was concerned, but that re
gardless of this fact the rotund
gentleman had earned the title of
the most feared coach in the Big
Niny. •
# * *
Doctor Spears is not coming
to-Oregon merely for the in
crease in stipend which he will
receive here, according to the
Minnesota writer, but because
he expects to find better condi
tions here, lie will find little
of the friction that was said to
I
exist at Minnesota in the physi
cal education department here.
I inless we are badly mistaken,
the doctor will be an easy man
to cooperate with, but we don’t
think he will let anyone inter
fere with the running of his foot
ball team.
Plans will be released in a cou
pie days for the reception to be
tendered Spears upon his arrival
in Eugene, according to announce
ment by Tom Stoddard. Oregon
spirit will burst forth into fire
works when Spears arrives, giv
ing him a start on the coopera
tion between the students and the
football coach. One of Captain
John J. McEwan's last remarks
before he left Eugene last week
was that he hated to leave so
many good student friends. He
declared that he received fine co
operation frorfl the students at
I all times.

INDEPENDENT JUDICIAAV ?
A TOP-HEAVY COUNCIL,
Starting out in an entirely new
field, the judiciary committee of
the constitutional revision com
mittee will probably be influenced
to a great extent by current prob
lems concerning eligibility of stu
dents to hold class offices, or in
fact, to hold any offices. It all
depends now on scholastic require
ments and number of credits
earned.
* * #
That the requirements should
be definitely stated in the new
constitution is generally accept
ed, but if every little detail is
written into the document, it
will prove too long and cumber
j some; most of all, not easily
j amended, not elastic enough.
I The judiciary will have to de
cide how the constitution must
be interpreted.
* *
But there comes the rub. Is the
judiciary to be impartial? Then
if must be composed of faculty
, members. But is it to be the court
I of last resort ? There has been a
| suggestion that its decisions must
1 be referred to the executive coun
cil for approval. If that is done,
the judiciary becomes a subreom
| mittee of the executive council,
and right now the executive coun
I cil is subject to the criticism that
! it reflects administration opinion
j too much.
* w *
The appointed and ex-officio
. members take the whole burden
i upon themselves, and the elect
i ed members sit by, overawed.
| outnumbered, or unable, erities
say, to protect individual stu
| dent interest. Whether that
criticism is founded or not. the
quest ion will arise as to the in
dependence of tiie judiciary.
.ill lea- id I he t.-itutivt eouu
, ■ :! rU-elf may be brought to que -
tion. If that should occur, then
the judges would be placed in the
extremely embarrassing position of
favoring the council or having its
decisions subject to the veto of
one of the litigants.
