The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Phil Cogswell GOOD LITTLE MEN AFTER GOOD BIG ONES h Coach Reinhart took a veteran quintet of speedy men with him .to Seattle to open the basketball sea son against Washington tonight. The Webfoots have been training hard. Three practice sessions daily all during Christmas vacation have been held. Reinhart has been emphasizing one thing, speed. The question as to whether the Oregon players, most all of whom are small in stature, will be able to down the rangy Husky men is speculative. The trouble is that big men can be fast too. A team of tall men, the kind Washington always has, has a tremendous ad vantage in getting the tip-off and also in grabbing the ball off the back board. BOTH COACHES PUT OUT CHAMPS The Huskies haven’t made much noise over their team this year or predicted that they would cop the championship, but the rest of the teams are afraid of them. They took three straight games from the strong Nebraska team and all but annihilated a good Whitman squad twice. “Hec” Edmundson, Husky coach, and Billy Reinhart, of Oregon, have been the two most successful mentors in the north ern circuit. Edmundson may have an edge on the rivalry this time, but still Reinhart's basketball teams have never needed much sympathy. * * * ! BRAD HARRISON QUITS TENNIS COURTS Brad Harrison, who graduated last year with more tennis cham pionship cups than he could find shelves to put them on, and who helped make this school's tennis famous, stopped in while on his way to Portland. Brad has been living in San Bruno, near San Francisco, and has gone into business. He has given up tennis entirely. He summed up the situation by say ing that it took a lot of time to practice if one was going to play *, a good game and he didn't have (Continued on Page Four) Aquatic Dates Changed With Portland Club New Time for California Meet Is Sought; Hewitt Rushes Training Seven Lettermen Turn Out For Squads; Sophs Add Much Strength Dates for the swimming meets scheduled with Multnomah Ath letic club of Portland have been changed, Jack Hewitt, varsity swimming coach, announced yes terday.

COLONIAL Oregon Students Ski Thirty Miles to Wrecked Mail Plane Skiing over 30 miles through the hills of the Cascade range to ob tain $2500 worth of airplane in struments from the recently wrecked Pacific Air Transport plane was the experience of Paul Lafferty and Glenn Bessonette, students at the University, and Ed Turnbull and Henry Corn, prominent Eugene business men, and all members of the Eugene Obsidian club. At the request of Les Hubble, manager in Portland of the P. A. T., the four left Eugene last Sat ; urday for Crescent lake, from where they skiied over soft snow five feet deep to the wrecked ship in which Pilot Russell Cunning ham was forced down last week during a heavy snow storm. The purpose of the trip was not only to obtain the valuable instruments but also to take pictures of the plane and see if there was any possible way to get the plane out. From Crescent lake the four traveled to Summit lake and from there along the ridge of the moun tain range to the plane. Accord ing to Lafferty, the snow was very soft and stuck to their skiis, mak ing progress difficult. An aver age speed of a mile an hour was maintained over the 14 miles trav eled. Upon reaching the plane, they found that it was in a deep hol low, faced into the side of a moun i tain. One wing was crumpled and | the landing gear broken. The po sition of the piane was such that it will be impossible to get it out, at least until the snow either melts or freezes over, Lafferty said. After doing their work about the plane, the quartet found them ! selves too tired to make the four mile trip back to where they had cached their sleeping bags and provisions. So, making a rude shelter out of fir boughs, they tried to rest, but the cold finally forced them to return to their camp. The whole trip was made in a heavy snowstorm and they found it very difficult to follow their t ray back, as it was rapidly being covered by snow. After eat ing, they started back to Crescent lake, where they found an empty cabin, in which they decided to i obtain a short rest before leaving I at noon for the other side of the ! lake to catch the train back. How ever, when they woke up, they found they had overslept about four hours and were forced to wait until 1:30 the next morning for a train. They arrived in Eu gene early Tuesday morning. Lafferty, who is a junior in the business administration school, said, “After traveling the 30 miles on skiis, going without sleep and hot food for two days, I think I know what it would be like to be overcome by sleep in the cold and freeze to death. All four of us were extremely fatigued and the hotel at Crescent lake surely looked good to us. The soft snow sticking to our skiis at each step seemed to weigh ten pounds.’’ In regard to the escape of Cun ningham to civilization, Lafferty said, “He took a different route out from ours. He followed the valley in which his plane was wrecked, out a distance of over 20 miles. If he had gone out the way we came, he would have reached the outside much sooner. But how he ever managed to get through the five feet of snow so quickly I don’t know. He must have struck it just right, for when we went in every time we stepped off our skiis we would sink down hip deep.’’ I Dr. Moley To Talk On Criminal Law California Professor Will Give Lecture Here Dr. Raymond C. Moley, interna tional authority on criminal law, will speak on the campus January 22. Dr. Moley, who is at present I guest professor at the University of California, comes here under i the auspices of the committee on free intellectual activities. “Obstacles to Law Enforcement" is to be the subject on which Dr. Moley will speak. His lecture will be free to University and towns people. “Because of his training and ex perience, he is especially well qual ified to talk on this subject,” said Wayne L. Morse, professor of law. Dr. Moley was largely responsible for the initiation of the first of the crime surveys that have been con ducted in the last ten years. He was director and editor of the first statewide crime survey ever con ducted in this country, the Mis souri crime survey. He played a large part in the Illinois and New York crime surveys and has had both practical and academic inter ests in criminal law. In addition to teaching at Colum bia university, lie is lecturer at Rand School of Social Science in New York. He has been associated with President Hall on the social science research council of Ameri ca. Dr. Moley’s books iriclude: “Poli tics and Criminal Prosecution," 1929, and “Criminal Courts,” 1930. First Winter School Swim Scheduled Tonight at 7:15 The first social swim of the win ter term is scheduled for tonight from 7:15 to 9 in the woVnen’c pool of the Gerlinger building. The swims, which were held every Fri day evening during the last half of the fall term, are to be continued throughout the entire winter se mester and are open to both men and women. The swims are classed as one of the recreational activities of the University and were very success ful last term, according to Paul Lafferty, student life-guard who is in charge. Approximately 40 stu dents were in attendance each time. Lafferty is assisted by Edith Green. Mrs. Lettie Mowry, Delta Zeta house-mother, will again act as chaperon. Admission is free and suits are furnished, but women are asked to bring their own bathing caps. Accoustics Group Selects Goodwin Dr. Boynton anti Teaching Fellow Go to Meet Membership in the Acoustical Society of America was given Charles Goodwin, teaching fellow in physics, during his attendance with Dr. E. P. Boynton, head of the department of physics, of a joint meeting of the American Physical society and the Acousti cal group on the campus of the University of California at Los An geles during the holidays. While there Mr. Goodwin had the privilege of inspecting the sound equipment of two Hollywood sound motion picture studio labor atories. The apparatus is quite complex and the amount of cur rent consumed necessitates the use of a generator capable of supply ing a small town, according f.o Mr I Goodwin. At the university laboratories which Mr. Goodwin regards a: some of the finest on the coast, li< was extended the privilege of do ing some research work. The Hollywood bowl, large out door theatre, was also inspectec by Mr. Goodwin, who believes it t< be a marvelous piece of acousti cal engineering. A person speakins in a moderate voice on the stag' rnay be heard in the last row wit1 little difficulty, he says. At the meetings of the society the most outstanding men of th nation engaged in acoustical wor: were there, Mr. Goodwin says, an several excellent papers were pre sented. S. A. E.

The Webfoot yearlings will be sorely handicapped by lack of | competition. The only taste of real basketball so far has been from scrimmages with the varsity and University high quintets. Practically all practice sessions have been devoted entirely to fun ; damentals. The Commerce high quintet will j come here with a veteran team. ■ Several lettcrmen from last year 1 form the nucleus of the prep out I fit. They have played several i pre-season games already this sea son and should be much more sea soned to competition than Calli son’s squad. They are coached by Arvin Burnett, who formerly played under Webfoot colors and is familiar with the Oregon style of play. The yearlings will also be hand icapped by the loss of two of the most promising candidates, Henry Simons and Jack Robertson, who i are ineligible because of scholar ship. The list of men who will most i likely see action tomorrow nigl}t | includes Joe Lillard and Joe Wil i son, centers; John Jeffers,' Jim Watts, La Grande Houghton, Carl Eberhart, Chuck Thomas, for wards, and Fred Kennedy, Mike Mikulak, Abel Uglow, Gil Ollinger, Mark Temple, Harold Schectman, and Chuck Wishard, guards.
