r The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Phil Cogswell BETTING ODDS IGNORE STRENGTH OF LINES The betting odds are giving the Beavers 12 points over Oregon in today's game. These odds are based on two things. One, that Kitzmiller won’t be able to play or, if he should get in, will be ex tremely handicapped — which is true; the second, that Oregon State will be able to overwhelm the Webfoots with their passing attack. The betting odds appar ently ignore the comparative strength of the two lines, where in most football games the course of the struggle is determined. SCHISSLER'S SLOGAN “OUTFIGHT OREGON” Coach Schissler has adopted a slogan for his team, “Outfight Oregon.” Will his line be able to outfight Oregon's and hence out play it? We doubt it. Oregon’s forward wall has been rated as one of the most powerful, if not the strongest, on the coast. Every man on it has been starring all season. Two of its members, Aus tin Colbert, guard, and George Christensen, tackle, who both made all-coast last year, are as great as any linemen Oregon has ever had. They and one other lineman, Jerry Lillie, guard, will be playing their last game against the Staters today. They have never played on a team that the Orangemen have been able to defeat. Being rated as the underdog will only make them fight harder this time—if the pep and spirit shown during the week in practice means any thing. We feel convinced that the Webfoot line will dominate and be the determining factor of the game. HILL WILL BE FEATURE OF CJKOSS-COUNTKY RUN The last two years or maybe further back, we don’t remember, Oregon has both won and lost the cross-country run with the "Beav ers which finishes in the football stadium just before the game starts. This parody of winning and losing at the same time came about this way. Ralph Hill, Ore gon’s track captain and national collegiate record holder of the mile, has come in far ahead of the rest of the 19 or 20 runners, but the Webfoot team has lost on points. The method of determining which team wins is figured from the comparative places in which the men finish. First counts the most, of course, and so on down the line. This year, Coach Hay ward’s distance men are better than usual, counting the team as a whole, and stand a good chance of taking the team victory. Ralph Hill, unless he breaks a leg or something, should win easily. SPEARS’ BACKFIELD IS A SPEEDY ONE Doc Spears’ backfield combina tion that is slated to start the game today has speed. Sam Ro tenberg is a flash at right half and Choppy Parke at the half berth is equally fast. Big Ed Moel ler as fullback is fast and espe cially strong on defensive, while Jack Erdley, quarter, was a speedy end last year. These men will be adapted to chasing down Beaver passes and may be com pleting some of their own. Hundreds of Students Flock to Junior Jinx Celebrating the Oregon Frosh win over the O. S. C. Rooks and getting their rally spirit high for the varsity tussle at Corvallis, hundreds of students made merry at the first annual Junior Jinx at McArthur court last night. The dance, originated by the class of 1932 as a new campus tradition, was handled by Jack Edlefsen, chairman. HALLIN SETS DATE FOR Y. W. C. A.

Intramural League Basketball Championships To Be Decided Wednesday HoopTourney Enters Final Week of Play Title Struggle Narrows to Mere Handful of Teams ; League Champions Will Stage Play-Off oil Following Week MONDAY’S GAMES Gym 4:00 -Phi Psi vs. Kappa Sig. 5:00—Sherry Ross vs. Delt. Igloo 4:00—Swantonites vs. S. A. M. Sigma Nu vs. Phi Delt. 5:00—Gamma hall vs. Fiji. Sigma Chi vs. Friendly. The intramural basketball race coasts into its final week of play Monday with the winners of two leagues practically settled and the others still very much in doubt. League II has been narrowed down to the Theta Chi and S. A. M. quintets, who will play Wednesday afternoon. The Bachelordon-Sig Ep clash Tuesday should settle the issue in League IV, while Beta and Fiji will go to the mat Wednesday for the honor of representing League V in the play-off. A. B. C.’s and S. A. E.’s Lead A. B. C. and S. A. E. from Leagues I and VI, respectively, are certain finalists while League III may offer the closest battle of all. Omega hall is leading with three victories and no losses, but their playing has been so ragged of late that the onrushing Phi Delts have been installed as favor ites in the Wednesday game. If Sigma Nu handles Phi Delt on Monday, the only satisfaction the latter can obtain is to wreck Omega’s hopes. S. A. E. rates a very good chance of copping the champion ship while Alpha Beta Chi's chances look slimmer due to faulty shooting. Bale, Robertson, and Roberts have done some very ac curate shooting for S. A. E. and Boyle and Walgren have turned in outstanding defensive games. Speed has been the keynote of the A. B. C. drive and David, Yerko vitch, Moore, Olds, and Quinn are five of the fastest players in the tourney. Aces Raise Hopes of Few Sig Ep’s crew of huskies and their great scoring ace, Brewer, should take Bachelordon into camp Tuesday, but Paxton and Addison may reverse the dope. The Sieg mund boys and Bob Near make Beta a strong favorite over Fiji, although the latter has two able scoring threats in Watts and Mc Donald. One of the three best teams in the tourney will be eliminated when the fighting Astorians play ing for Theta Chi tangle with Max Rubenstein and the rest of the S. A. M. outfit. Each squad has a basket-converting wizard—Bram hall for Theta Chi and Rubenstein of S. A. M. The fishermen have a better offense with Bramhall, Jeffers, Makinen, and Hellberg all able shots, but their defense is not so impregnable as the bulwark presented by Director and Donin.

This observation was made about the new offices that have been built this year for the athletic de partment. They are built on a long corridor with a central office at the head where a secretary takes the incoming calls. Those having offices there are: Doc Spears, football coach; Virgil D. Earl, director of athletics; Billy Reinhart, varsity baseball and basketball coach; Prink Callison, freshman grid mentor; and Tom Stoddard, assistant graduate man ager. Mr. Stoddard’s position as assist ant graduate manager is also an innovation of the department. Inter-Fraternity League For Bowling Is Started An inter-fraternity bowling league, with an attractive cup as a trophy, will start Thursday on the Eugene Recreation alleys. Ac cording to Manager Blaney, prizes for individual as well as team scores will be given. The tourney will be run on a handicap basis, giving each team an equal chance. All matches will be held at 4 o’clock every Thurs day. Several houses have already signified their intention of enter ing. Any fraternity member inter ested is requested to call the local alleys and secure details. Matches with the bowling team from Oregon State are probable if enough interest is shown. Loud Speaker Is Subject Of Next Physics Seminar Charles A. Goodwin, graduate student in physics, will speak be fore the physics seminar Wednes i day, November 19, on the efficien cy of the loud speaker. Dr. W. P. Boynton, head of the physics de partment, believes he is an author ity on radio and sound. At the seminar last Wednesday Jack Ahearn, graduate student in physics, spoke on long distance telephone cables.. He referred to the satisfying distance of broad casting and suggested as a pro gram the system of transatlantic telephone cables. At present, he said, cables have more reliable ser vice for long distance telephones than the present system. Saturday Only the ; ^ UTAH W' STARTS SUNDAY First Run in Eugene Crumbaker, Joyce To Make Research Regulation of Utilities To Be Studied "Oregon is different, very dif ferent in the way in which it ap proaches the matter of regulation of public utilities,” declared Calvin Crumbaker, of the economics de partment yesterday. Just how Oregon is different from other states in her attitude Professor Crumbaker is not ready to say until after an exhaustive research covering the whole state has been made, in which various members of the economics depart ment of the University will un doubtedly participate. He did, how ever, give the impression that this research will be unusually inter esting because of the unique way in which Oregon provides for reg ulation of her public utilities. John W. Joyce, graduate student of economics, is beginning a gen eral survey of this field with spe cial reference to the People’s Pow er bill adopted by the people of Oregon in the last election. This survey is preliminary to the more exhaustive one in which Professor Crumbaker is interested. It will reveal to the public the secret wherein Oregon's difference lies. Sport Interest of Faculty Surveyed By Edgar DeCou Professor Edgar DeCou, chair man of the intramural sports com mittee, reports that 130 people have replied to his questionnaire concerning intramural sports in the survey to determine the per centage of athletic interest among the faculty and administration. More are expected to hand their ballots in within the next few days. Dean John F. Bovard, of the school of physical education, was the first to send in his ballot. He marked volleyball as his favorite game, with hiking and golf fol lowing. Professor DeCou will count the ballots next week when a full re port will be given.

Prof. E. H. McAlister, of the department of mechanics and astronomy, thinks that Captain T. J. See, United States navy mathe matics professor who believes scientists will be able to do this, is overoptimistic. “We hope to be able to predict weather in this manner in t.he course of time,” Professor McAlis ter said when asked about Captain See’s statement, “but it is doubt ful that we can within ten years. I think he is overoptimistic. “Scientists have been working on this problem for over a cen tury, but so far they have only made moderate progress.” Captain See is now attempting to work out a proper ratio of sun spots to weather conditions in or der that he may be able to predict accurately the weather by the sun. Although Professor McAlister be lieves he will be successful, he thinks it will take a long time. Captain See's belief is that there is a definite connection between the sun spots and the Mississippi floods of 1927, and with the drouth that burned up the Mid-west last summer. Rapid increase in sun spots, he says, causes a sudden chilling of the earth’s atmosphere, and rains and flood result. On the other hand, a decrease causes an excess of heat, and drought is the result. Athlete’s Marks Are Not Padded, Says Virgil Earl Only One-Third Hold Jobs; Tutors Are Not Used “Contrary to the belief of the average student and the public, athletes do not have their grades “padded,” said Virgil Earl, direc tor of athletics of the University. "Neither is it true that all of the men who make the varsity teams are given jobs.” The old theory that the athlete is way below tire average student, scholastically, has no backing in reality. In fact, his grades are kept as high as those of most of the students who do not partici pate in activities of any kind. It is not uncommon for varsity men to be passing in 17 or more hours. At the same time, it is true that some athletes are helped so that they are able to keep their grades within the eligibility limit, but this is done only to a certain extent. If the mid-term report that is turned in to Mr. Earl’s office shows that a man is low or flunk ing in a subject, a query is sent to the professor under whom the subject is taught. If he thinks that the man is capable of passing with the aid of a tutor, one is sup plied. If there is no chance for the student to get by with the added help, he is dropped from the team.
