The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Jack Burke 4 NO ALIBIS ARE NECESSARY— We can think of a dozen nice ways of explaining just how it was that Oregon happened to be on the short end of the score Saturday last, but wu fail to see any reason why any alibis are necessary. In the first place we would hate to give the Corvallis bunch a chance to say that we were crying and in the second place there were several things about the game that weren’t so bad after all. Being somewhat of a Pollyanna in our attitude towards the game we derive great pleasure from the showing of Choppie Parke. Chop pie, we understand, is what is what is termed in racing circles a ‘'mudder.” In other words when the field gets slick and knee deep lie is in his proper element and shows up like a sore thumb. Choppie’s returns of punts were far and away the most interesting feature of the game and were made more interesting by the question as to whether or not he would get up after being hit by about ten Ore gon State men. For the good of the Oregon team let us be jovial that he did get up for as far as we can see at the present moment he chn be of great assistance in San Francisco on Thanksgiving day. * * * SAINT MARY’S TRIMS FORDHAM— Which brings us round to a con-1 sideration of St. Mary’s. Last Saturday one Slip Madigan put his team against the great Fordham team, an eleven that was cue of the strongest in the East. A team that hadn’t been beaten since 1928, a team that carried the hopes of the East and beat them decisively. So it can be easily seen that the Gaels are a power. They have been beaten but once this year by the close margin of 7 to 6 by the California eleven and in all their other games have been successful by wide margins. With the exception of California all the games that the Gaels have engaged in up till the Fordham game have been fairly easy and the recent eastern victory is made even more impressive thereby. Any team that can reach its peak form on a diet of teams such | as UCLA and the like is a team i and Doc Spears is going to have j his hands full when he meets Slip j and his Gaels. Jj: # SAIJNTS BKUUMli ALL-AMERICANS It is interesting to note that not only is Slip Madigan an adept at producing a team but there is al ways at least one man on his team who is in line for national recognition. Two years ago it was Betten court, a center who played all over the field. He never, accord ing to reliable sources, made a bad pass in his entire career and as a defensive player had few peers. It j was Bettencourt who wrought such havoc with the Stanford Cardinals that since that memor able day when he beat them near ly single-handed Pop Warner has refused to meet the Gaels. Last year it was Akerman, a tackle who was Pop Warner's se lection for the All-American. Ak erman played again Oregon last year and proved that he was good and now they come along with stories that they have two tackles who are better than Akerman. Then there is Stennett, a half back who made sports writers in the East coin phrases and there is Sperbeck and end who is a demon on the receiving end of the passes which Stennett throws with such accuracy. All in all the Gaels have a football team this year as they have had in the past and Oregon will not sit down to any picnic down South. Oregon will bring an impressive record tcj San Francisco, however, and there seems to be no reason why the game shouldn’t be a good one. We hope, however, that it doesn't rain for we couldn't stand another mud fight. Phi Bete at Willamette Admission of Willamette univer sity to Phi Beta •Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity may become a reality, states the registrar. Ac cording to Dr. Duncan of Pomona college, he finds the scholastic standing of Willamette university to be of the highest quality and feels that Willamette should be placed at the head of the list of schools now petitioning for mem bership in the organization. A large percentage of Willamette faculty members are now wearing the Phi Beta Kappa key. Webfoot Cinder Path Artist Officially Heralded As World’s Mile Holder - *---: Oregon Miler I Is Recognized i As Champion Ralph A. Hill Gets Official Cognizance of Mile Record AAU Sanctions New World Intercollegiate Mark Of 4 :12.4 Ralph A. Hill, lanky track star ol: the University of Oregon, was otficially recognized yesterday as world's intercollegiate miler, as a result of action taken by the Ama teur Athletic union at Washing ton, D. C. Hill’s sensational time of four minutes, 12.4 seconds es tablished in a meet with the Uni versity of Washington last May on Hayward field, was the climax of the Oregon star’s many attempts to defeat Rufus Kiser, Washing ton’s brilliant runner. Hill, with his long, rhythmic stride, gradually outdistanced the Husky star, and the Webfoot runner breasted the tape before Kiser's last minute sprint brought him up to within two strides of the winner. The new time recorded by the timers bettered the former record held by John Paul Jones, eastern miler, by two seconds, and had withstood all assaults for 17 years. The world's intercollegiate rec ord of Hill’s aided Oregon in win ning distinction in track activities last spring when a squad was tak en east to the I. C. A. A. A. meets. Although Hill was beaten by Kiser his triumph was in defeat having shown his spikes to the Washing tonian in setting the new mile mark. Hill is a senior and this spring will be his last year of intercolleg iate competition. The “Paavo Nur mi” of Oregon’s cinder paths is also a member of the cross-coun try team, Hill winning first place against the runners of Oregon State last Saturday. Clarence Hill, star two-miler, and probably the fastest runner in that event on the Pacific coast, is a brother of Ralph.

The Phi Delts capped their re markable comeback by trouncing the Sigma Nus 25 to 15, which gives them a chance at the cham pionship league of League III when they tangle with Omega hall Wednesday. Rogers, Houghton, and Barber made the greater ma jority of their shots count while countless Sigma Nu forays failed to materialize as shot after shot slipped off the hoop. In one of the wildest and wool iest games of the tourney, Gamma hall smacked Fiji 20-15 and there by reduced the latter's champion ship hopes to zero. The score was knotted 5 up at the half and 11 up at the end of the third quarter but Minney, Lord, and Goff did some excellent long range sharp shooting to pile up the slender lead. Led by Watts and Golden the Fijis played like madmen as the final minutes ticked off but to no avail. The S. A. M. quintet tuned up for their clash with Theta Chi Wednesday by rolling up a 35 to 11 score over the Swantonites. Ru benstein and Donin had field days tallying 15 and 12 markers, re spectively.

The noises for Act II have been rehearsed from all available locations in Johnson hall basement and a final resting place decided upon. Light effects have been worked out and the en tire play is ready to go. This is the first time in several years that the Guild theatre sea son has opened with an American comedy. “Holiday” has been pop ular both on the stage and on the talking screen.
