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

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.

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.

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

the whites, while in Japan both
races show great enthusiasm for
it.

length, but that fault is compen
sated in part by the slowness of
their fairways which take away a

rather warm weather and humid
climate the grass used for both

grasses are not encouraging to

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.

get the building for a long time.
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. In addition, there i3
the necessity of providing employ*
ment for idle labor. My recom
mendation is in keeping with the
tendency to push public construc
tion for this purpose at this time,
and I am certain that such a pro
gram would add materially to the
state's prosperity.”
