The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Phil Cogswell Grid Letters Fell Off This Time ' Only 19 Oregon gridsters earned letters this last football season. This is rather a small number as compared to the way letters are given away in the great college pastime th§se days. Oregon State presented 28 to its gridsters and some of the southern teams were even more generous. T The number of Webfoots getting ems this year only equals half the total who got them last year when McEwan was coach. The captain had a chance to help the second and third stringers out and he played Santa Claus for them. There was a ruling in the constitu tion that any player getting into an intersectional game for even a moment earned a letter. Oregon played two such games at the end of the season and 37 men made their stripes. Constitution Raised The Time Requirements Between a year ago and the sea son just over the requirements for earning grid letters were raised. An . intersectional game doesn't count ' now any more than a conference game. Also the length of time which the player must participate has been increased. Formerly the maximum was 30 minutes and it could be made by playing one half or in parts of three halves. Now, however, a fellow who wants to earn a sweater has to play three full quarters either all in one game or one in each of three different games. Any game to count must be deemed equal in importance to a conference game and if a fellow plays less than a full quarter that time doesn’t count. In other words if a man plays 14 minutes in each of 17 quarters, technically he wouldn’t earn a letter. Playing in Quarter Blocks Is Matter of Luck The time must be in full quar ter blocks. However, the coach still has the power to recommend men who didn’t fulfill time re quirements. b This new ruling caught a few who had played 45 or more min utes in major games, but who fail ed to have the right distribution of time. It seems to the writer that the new rules are a little too strict to be fair. A player may do just as good work by playing 15 min utes in parts of two or more quar ters as he would if he played it all in one. The coach doesn't think much about whether a man could earn his letter if he let him stay in another minute. In critical (Continued on Page Four) Freshman Basketball Team Will Open Season Against Commerce High Frosh, Prep Game Starts At 8 Tonight Former Portland Cliamps First Competition for Yearling Men Opening List Not Given; Lillard May Handle Pivot Berth By BRUCE HAMBY Prink Callison's frosh basketball squad will face its first compe tition of the season tonight at the Igloo when Commerce high of Portland will meet them in what will be the first opportimity for Oregon hoop fans to view the Web foot frosh quintet in action here. The game will start at 8 o'clock. Commerce high, coached by Ar vin Burnett, a former Lemon-Yel low star under Bill Reinhart, has gone through several pre-season games already this season. Inas much as this is the yearlings’ first serious competition, they will be somewhat handicapped. The Stenog outfit, winners last year of Ihe Portland interscholas tic championship, has a formidable quintet, built around several of last year's lettermen. They have been quite successful in their pre liminary games, winning all but one. I As for the frosh squad, little is known as to what they are capa ble of. Plenty of ex-prep school stars are listed on the squad, and they have all shown great possi | bilities in practice sessions. | Among the most promising can | didates for first team berths is l Joe Lillard, who starred for Cal i lison’s grid squad this fall. Lil I lard, despite a distinct height dis : advantage, has been able to easily outjump his closest competitor for the center job, Joe Wilson. He has a peculiar scissors kick that gives him a great deal of spring. Jim Watts, John Jeffers, La Grande Houghton, Jim Munhol land, and Roland Larson have shown class among the candidates for forward positions. All are fast , and seem to be able to hit the j basket frequently, j Callison has plenty of guards ' from which to pick. Abel Uglow, [ Fred Kennedy, Mike Mikulak, 1 Chuck Wishard, Mark Temple, and | Gil Olinger seem to be outstand i ing and will probably all see ac j tion tonight. i The freshman mentor refused to I issue a starting lineup, stating | that he planned to shift his play ! ers constantly in an effort to pick | a winning combination. Still Swimming! Just as everything looked fine for the swimming team, Jack Hewitt, coach, had three of his men declared ineligible, but this smile shows Jack far from dis couraged. Donut Programs Outlined by Group Volleyball Slaled To Open Winter Schedule At a meeting of athletic repre sentatives from the various living organizations Thursday afternoon at the gym, it was decided to adopt volleyball, handball, and track as the winter intramural sports, while fencing, wrestling, handball, and squash will furnish material for all-campus tourneys. Entry lists for the latter events have been posted in the basement of the gym, while Earl Boushey of the gym staff, is mailing entrance blanks for the intramural sports to the living organizations. Any independent groups desiring to en ter the donut competitions are re quested to see Mr. Boushey. Volleyball play Is scheduled to start January 19 with no favorites in the offing, as very few of the students have a thorough knowl edge of the game. Intramural handball is also a novelty while squash is receiving its first try out.

Among [ the many he met he mentioned Bob and Art Henningson and Bob's wife, formerly Peggy Holman, all alumni and living in Shanghai, China. While in Manila, Moe was the house guest of “Kady” Roberts, a Kappa Sig of the class of 1914. In regard to golf, Moe said, “I found a great deal of interest in the game throughout the Orient. In China and the Philippines the in terest was mostly centered among the whites, while in Japan both races show great enthusiasm for it. “The golf courses are quite in teresting to play, though not as yet measuring up to the standard of I,-" ' " ■—=TW SPORTS SHORTS The first reference to football in j print reveals that King Edward II' of England placed a ban on the j game in 1314 because it created j too much noise. * a: * * Columbia university reports that its football players, as a group, are the dumbest scholars in the stu dent body.

They are shorter in length, but that fault is compen sated in part by the slowness of their fairways which take away a long roll. Again, by reason of their rather warm weather and humid climate the grass used for both fairways and greens are of the na tive or Bermuda variety. Such grasses are not encouraging to trueness in putting and one is apt j to find his putts running off the line many times. However, those features should not, and do not. de stroy the pleasure of a game of golf." While Moe was at Oregon as captain of the Webfoot golf team, he won the Pacific Intercollegiate crown two years ago. In 1929 he won the Western Amateur and last year was selected as a mem ber of the American Walker Cup team. It was on this trip to Eng land that he won international fame by a sensational up-hill bat tle to defeat one of Britain’s best players, breaking the course rec ord to do it. Moe may return to the campus at spring term. Dean Ellis Visits Prep Conference Former Instructor Conies Down From Spokane Though she journeyed from Spo kane, Washington, to Eugene to attend the high school conference, Dean Conah Mae Ellis, important guest of the campus this week end, feels much at home here. Last summer she was a member of the faculty, teaching educa tional psychology and giving work in advisers of girls. She will re turn this coming summer, again to be a summer session instructor. Resting for a few minutes in j Alumni hall yesterday afternoon after a business day that ended with a tea, Miss Ellis took time to praise the beautiful room and then discuss her work as dean of j girls at North Central high school in Spokane. “It will be but a few years until every high school will have girls1 advisers or deans,” she declared, commenting on the rapid increase of those positions recently. She believes schools of education will soon make provisions for more courses in this work. Constructive programs in aca demic, social, and vocational work are provided by advisers, and but an incidental share of their time is related to disciplinary work, according to the visiting dean. Miss Ellis was a speaker at the Girls’ League association meetings and at the deans’ meetings. HEILIG TODAY ONLY!

Construction Would Aid “There are very sound and im portant reasons why the state should act at this time to ‘catch up’ on construction programs at the state institutions,” said the governor. “The condition of the money market, with a strong de mand for bonds, makes this type of financing desirable. Then there is the important fact that build ing materials are extremely low at this time, and the state could get more for its money in con struction than it has been able to for years.
