NUMBER-61^5’ r Webfoots Aim At Win Against Husky Tonight Conference Hoop Season For Two Quintets To Open in Seattle • Washington Heavy Favorite To Take Fourth Title In Row This Year With one aim ahead of them, victory, ten Webfoot hoop repre sentatives, Coach Bill Reinhart, and Senior Manager Norman East man, comprising a party of bas keteering invaders, left for the stronghold of the Washington Husky last night at Seattle, to vie in the first conference struggle of ^ the season. Determined to squelch the local ideas that Oregon is “too small,” Reinhart’s men were cheerfully hopeful of taking the “Hec” Ed mundson quintet,* which runs around the maple court under the cognomen of Husky, into camp both Friday and Saturday, if it is at all possible. Reinhart, himself, was not so hopeful. The veteran Webfoot coach, not at all inclined to be overly pessimistic, was du bious concerning the first games of the conference. Huskies Favorites Washington's quintet, heavy fa vorites to cop the Northwest divis ion title for the fourth time in a row, is composed of rangy, tali, experienced men, all of them as serted to be over six feet. Hank Swanson, letterman of two seasons, is taking the pivot position for the Huskies and is backed up by a quartet of capable cagers, reports indicate. They are Swygard, Ful ler, Cairney and West. } Just who will start in the lineup for Oregon had not been announced last night but it is safe to assume that Reinhart’s practice lineup, composed of Jean Eberhart, center; Vincent Dolp and Winsor Calk ins, forwards; and Kermit Stevens and Hank Levoff, guards, will get the call. Nebraska Falls Washington has done about as much in the way of pre-season games as has Oregon. The Hus kies have defeated Whitman and Nebraska in addition to several in dependent teams while the Web foots have downed Multnomah club, and Gonzaga, the latter which recently beat Jack Friel’s Wash ington Staters. Game for game Oregon and Washington are about evenly matched but team to team the Huskies have a decided advan tage in height. What difference this will make will come to the fore in the first game. Oregon stands a y good chance to cop one game if not both by virtue of conceded speed.

Using three airplanes, as well as a number of dog team expedi tions, the Byrd party explored and observed a total area which, it superimposed on a map of the eastern half of the United States, would extend in a wide belt from Chesapeake bay westward and around the head of Lake Michi gan beyond Duluth, an area em bracing Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and about half of Iowa, Wisconsin and Min nesota. Of this area more than 150,000 square miles were surveyed by aerial camera. A total distance of 7100 miles was flown, climaxed on November 29, 1929, when Byrd and three oth ers made a 1600-mile flight to the South Pole. More than 9000 feet of film will be shown in connection with the lecture here. Nearly all of it is views which were not included in the picture shown in motion pic ture houses last summer.

Crime Survey in Oregon Finished By Wayne Morse Report Gives Picture From Arrests to the Final Dispositions The first year’s work on the Oregon crime survey, conducted under the direction of Wayne L. Morse, professor of law, has been completed and a report will be sub mitted to the legislature when it convenes Monday, January 12. Copies of the survey report are now being printed and will be plac ed in the hands of each legislator. Statistical Study Given The study involves an analysis of all felony cases in Multnomah county during 1927-28 from the point of arrest to point of final dis position and gives a statistical pic ture of what happened to each of those cases. It compares findings in the Oregon study with those in other surveys. It is planned to ex- > tend the study to other counties in the state in order to give a cross-section picture of the dispo sition of felony cases in the whole state. A program for further research is outlined in the report and the need of a comprehensive survey of the administration of criminal jus tice is discussed. Professor Morse was assisted in the survey by Ronald H. Beattie, research fellow. No Interpretations Given Professor Morse emphasized in an interview that the motivating purpose of the Oregon crime sur vey is one of fact-finding' and that the directors of the survey do not marshal data in support of or in opposition to any specific reform. The interpretations of the data are left to the reader. “The moment a research worker recommends any specific reform, his views are discredited by those who are opposed to the reform and his position of impartiality is lost,” Mr. Morse said in explaining his report. The final report consists of more than 200 pages and will be publish ed later as a supplement of the Oregon Law Review. E. P. Lyon 111 E. P. Lyon of the comptroller's office has been ill with a heavy cold and is not expected to be back at work for several days.
