Swimming Season
Will Be Interesting
Swimming this year and in the
future, if the present policy is car
ried out, should be the real major
sport here that it started out to
be under Coach Ed Abercrombie
two years ago. At that time Ore
gon had a lot of stars, the cream
of intercollegiate swimmers in the
^■Northwest, a good schedule and a
successful season in all respects.
Last year, however, the team not
only lacked an interesting line-up
of meets, but didn't have an offi
cial coach. Johnny Anderson, cap
tain and splendid dash man, gave
his time to help the other fellows
on the team, sacrificing his own
training periods while working to
break a coast record, but he wasn’t
a regular coach. The team met
Oregon State and Multnomah club
twice. Attempts to get southern
schools to come up here failed and
no trips were billed for the Web
foots outside of the state. Despite
the fact that we had stars on the
team there was no colorful oppo
sition, hence no enthusiasm.
* * *
^ California and
Stanford on List
The outlook for this year in the
aquatic sport is as bright as last
season’s was dull. In the first place
the team has a coach. Jack Hew
itt is an excellent swimming in
structor, and has the capacity to
make men work hard and like it.
He hasn’t a long string of success
ful coaching records behind him,
but he has become prominent as a
swimming teacher. Perhaps his
material is not as good this year as
it was last, there’s no one who
swims the 100-yard dash in 56 sec
onds, but what there is will be well
trained.
What arouses real approval is
the schedule that Hugh Rosson
lined up. Oregon will go south to
meet Stanford and California, and
California will come up for match
es here and at Corvallis. This list
of meets is in addition to the regu
lar ones with the Staters and club
men of Portland. The swimming
squad has a lot to look forward to
- and so have the fans of the water
sport.

A Mouthful
For Kocknc
It has been Notre Dame this
and Notre Dame that so long that
we can’t get that worthy institu
tion off our mind even though we
are all pretty tired of hearing
about it. But anyway, for the
sake of vocal exercise, try pro
nouncing some of the names of
the South Bend freshman players.
Bomba, Buzolits, Finari, Hrosky,
Izel, Jandoli, Jehle, Krauciunas,
Melinkovich, Leshowicz, Otizinger,
Pionteck, Pivarnik, Pashwietz, Ri
naldi, Palmisani, Schreker, Sueher,
Sluszka, Witucki, and Wiedle.
Now try figuring out the nation
ality of these boys. They say
football is an American sport.

Headed by 11 lettermen and sev
eral promising men from last year's
frosh team, a large number of can
didates for the Webfoot track
squad have been working out daily
on the indoor track under the east
stand on Hayward field.
Coach Bill Hayward's squad will
be weakened this year by the loss
through graduation of several let
termen. Among them were Tyrrel
Lowry, one of the outstanding
sprinters in the Northwest; Claire
McKennon, crack 440 man, and sev
eral others.
Hill Heads Veterans
The group of lettermen back is
headed by Ralph Hill, holder of the
intercollegiate record in the mile.
Bobby Robinson, pole-vaulter; Ed
Moeller, weights; Paul Bale, 220;
and Ed Siegmund, hurdles; are all
considered outstanding in their
events in the Northwest. Other
lettermen out are Virgil Scheiber,
sprints; Tom Moran, 880; Hubert
Allen, hurdles and high jump; A1
Edwards, javelin; Don Maltby,
pole vault; Bob Everts, high jump;
and Len Steele, mile.
From the ranks of last year's
frosh squad comes such men as
Paul Starr, sprinter; Bob Hall and
Rus Eddy, milers, and Ed Hicks,
880. Eddy and Hall won letters in
cross-country this fall.
Squad Well Balanced
With such a large number of out
standing men on hand Hayward
should have a strong, well-balanced
squad this spring. Of the lettermen
back, several should be point win
ners in any meet. Bob Robinson
does over 13 feet in the vault; Paul
Bale ran the 220 in 22 flat in the
Oregon-Oregon State meet, setting
a new meet record. Ed Moeller
went back to the National Inter
collegiate meet at Chicago last
year and placed among the win
ners in the discus.
Hill, national college champ with
a mark of 4:12:4 set in the dual
Oregon-Washington meet last year,
should have a clear field this sea
son inasmuch as his old rival, Ru
fus Kiser, former University of
Washington star, has graduated.
Intensive practice will not start
for some time yet, the present
workouts getting the men in shape.
Many more candidates are expect
ed by Bill Hayward to be out soon.

Preliminary Workouts To
Be Held by Varsity
Cinder Coach
Two intramural track and field
meets wore adopted for winter
term by a conference of house ath
letic representatives and Bill Hay
ward, varsity track coach, at the
Igloo yesterday afternoon. One
meet will bar track and cross coun
try lettermen only while the other,
a novice affair, will be comprised
of men having little or no track
experience. The winner of the main
meet will receive a cup, while
groups participating in either di
vision will win points on the intra
mural all-year chart.
Coach Hayward urges all living
organizations and indep e n d e n t
groups to turn in their entry lists
as soon as possible for indoor prac
tice is a requirement for partici
pation. The men entered will re
port three times a week to Hay
ward and if taking regular gym
will be excused from the latter
work. The meets will be held ap
proximately four weeks before the
end of the term.
Events scheduled are the 75
yard dash, 75-yard high hurdles,
220, 400, and 660-yard runs, three
fourths mile distance run, pole
vault, high jump, and shot put.
Most of the runs will be shortened
for indoor work.

the Antarctic regions which
brought him the praise and admi
ration of the whole world.
It is the story of the Byrd Ant
arctic expedition, which, in the
year and a half between the fall
of 1928 and the spring of 1930 ex
plored and mapped 150.000 miles
of previously unknown Arctic ter
ritory, made invaluable contribu
lions to scientific knowledge of
these impenetrable and mysterious
regions, and climaxed a marvelous
ly successful series of airplane j
flights with a 1600-mile hop to
the South Pole and return.
Nine reels of motion pictures
will be shown in connection with
the lecture. A special projection
house has been built in the court,
two of the best machines available
have been sent down from Portland
with a trained operator, and a
huge magnascopic screen, of the
type which gives the pictures a
three-dimensional appearance, in

Fortunately, Admiral Byrd is a
lecturer whose easy delivery and
fascinating personality enable him
;to tell his story with a'maximum
*of interest. There will be no sub
titles for the pictures; Byrd will
tand by and give a running ex
! planatory account as they are
j thrown onto the screen.

Frosh Hoopers
Face Two Games
Over Week-End
Washington. Benson High
Schools Opponents
For Contests
With their first game of the sea
son successfully hurdled, the Ore
gon freshman basketball squad is
faced with two more opponents
from Portland, Benson and Wash
ington high schools, whom they
will meet in preliminary games
next Friday and Saturday nights
at the Igloo.
The freshman showed very little
team work last Saturday night
against Commerce but with a
week’s practice they should im
prove decidedly. Coach Callison
has evidently picked out a first
string lineup for last night during
practice he used a first team con
sisting of Jim Watts and LaGrande
Houghton, forwards; John Jeffers
and Mark Temple, guards; and Joe
Lillard, center.
On a second team were Chuck
Wishard, Einard Wilson, Harold
Scliectman, Bob Patterson, and Ro
land Larson. Special emphasis was
placed on speed and team work
during last night’s session. A rough
and tumble scrimmage between the
first and second strings showed
little difference between them.
The two games this week-end
will be played as preliminary
matches before the Oregon-Wash
ington State contests. Washing
ton high will appear Friday night
and Benson the night following.
Ex-Oregon Star
Eyes Swim Meet
Johnny Anderson To Enter
Portland Tourney
Headlining a natatorial meet of
star swimmers and divers, Johnny
Anderson, tow-headed “Paddock
of the pools," will attempt to gain
more honors next Saturday when
he will compete in an open tour
nament. at Multnomah club, Port
land.
Anderson, former ace of Web
foot pools and co-holder of the
Pacific coast intercollegiate record
for the 100-yard dash, will vie
against three champions, who are
expected to lose their titles to the
ex-Duck merman, according to
Portland press dispatches.
Anderson, in order to break the
•standing record for the 100-yard
dash, has only to best the mark
of 58.8 seconds. In establishing
the Pacific coast record for col
leges, he swam to a time of 06
seconds flat, so winning the tour
nament record should be just a
matter of routine.
Anderson, who also has a na
tional reputation from competition
in Eastern meets, was captain of
the Oregon swimming team in his
senior year.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION
HAS 3 CHARACTERISTICS
(Continued from Page Our)
from other cycles, yet there are
several characteristics of the pres
ent situation which, while they are
not unique, are more marked in
this instance.
“This time more than ever before
we are conscious of unemployment.
Relatively, there may not be more
than at preceding times. But labor
may be said to be more articulate.
Organized labor has a more sympa
thetic bearing than it used to have.
Then, too, this time, a considera
ble amount of the unemployed are
people in white collar jobs, and
they make themselves heard more
than unskilled workers do.
“A second characteristic which
is particularly emphasized in the
present period is the psychological

j phase. Psychology always plays a
big part in a business cycle, but
j both during the up and down grade.
; Now, because of our increased
! communication and organization
we are more inter-dependent and
in closer touch with the world.
Consequently, the pessimistic feel
ing can be more widespread and
we are probably hearing more this
time than ever before about the
phychology of depressions.
"There is still a third phase the
world situation which is more a
factor than ever before. This de
pression is not peculiar to Amer
icans at all. The world situation is
bad from three angles. First, in
many of our markets we must meet
extremely keen competition. Sec
ond, many markets are in a bad
way because of political instabil
ity. One of the most important de
velopments today would be the re
turn of order in various parts of j
the world, as South American
countries and China. Third, many
of our markets, especially Euro
pean markets, are already bought
up to the limit on the basis of
credit."
