BASKETBALL
OPTIMISM
Reports from the Northwest seem
to be pretty well agreed that the
Washington State basketball team,
coming here to be the guests of
the Webfoots for the week-end, is
composed of some high-class play
ers. Coach Bill Reinhart, in all due
deference to the reputation of the
r visitors has been working his men
hard lately so that they will be
able, as he puts it himself, “to do
some entertaining.’’
Our reporter from the Igloo says
that he thinks Reinhart has some
thing up his sleeve for the Cougar
series. A surprise may be coming,
but don’t look for it in the form of
a couple of freshly unearthed stars
eight feet tall or thereabouts. Such
individuals don’t pop up overnight
during the winter season.
Bill has been looking and talk
ing this week, however, as if he
was fairly optimistic of the future
and this is the reason. He has
tried out all his men. He knows
what each can do. He has selected
the best, all good men by the way,
and he has them on a team that is
starting to click. When Reinhart
gets the boys down to smooth fast
team play he has the right to feel
relieved. His system is always good
enough then to keep up with any
of ’em in the league.
COUGARS’ CENTER
IS ANOTHER GIANT
The man on the Cougar team
who seems to be the big factor in
putting the punch into the Pullman
outfit is Huntley Gordon, sopho
more center. He will probably be
much in evidence when his team
comes on the floor here because he
stands six feet five inches tall and
is heavy. What makes him dan
gerous is his ability to ring the
basket. He scored 22 points play
ing the two games against Oregon
State last week.
Another proved star on the
Washington State squad is Art Me- ,
Larney, who was selected as an all- j
coast guard last year. McLarney !
was unable to play in the games
with the Beavers because of an in
jured knee. He probably is all right
by now.
INGRAM WILL
COACH THE BEARS
Bill Ingram has settled the
coaching problem down at Califor
nia by accepting it. Ingram has
been coach of the Navy team since
1926, and is called “Navy Bill.” Doc
Spears knows Ingram well and en
dorses the complimentary state
ments they are making about the
navy man down at Berkeley. “Bill
is a mighty fine man,” says Doc.

Out of the Palouse country of
Washington, Coach Jack Friel, who

team how to beat
Oregon State,
Whitman and
other basketball
aggregations, will
bring a squad of
determined,
sharp - shooting
cage stars to give
Billy Reinhart’s
Bill Reinhart men their second
competition of the Pacific coast
conference Friday and Saturday
nights.
Until the Cougars of W. S. C. j
beat a vaunted Orange quintet
from Corvallis, Reinhart looked i
upon them as just another team
and one of mediocre ability. But
apparently the Cougar sharpened
his claws, for he chewed the Ore
gon State team to pieces in the
second fray last week after losing
the first one. Coach Friel is sup
posed to be innovating a new sys
tem and, of course, it will take a
little time for his charges to get
initiated into the new scheme on
the maple court. Topping that, he
has been using sophomores in the
lineup of late, that combination
proving the most successful. Me
barney, veteran of two seasons and
an all-coast guard, has been out of
the lineup with injuries, but from
the looks of the Cougars’ latest
demonstrations, they can get along
pretty well without him. Friel has
been using Cross and Holsten at
forwards to garner the baskets
with Gordon, six-foot-five center,
to play the pivot part and Wills
and Pesco to guard the basket
against the shots of the invaders.
Plans Unknown
What Reinhart intends to do
about the matter of Washington
State’s visit here Friday and Sat
urday is speculative. Undoubtedly,
Oregon’s shrewd mentor has some
thing up his sleeve. The squad has
been made up of the same per
sonnel, .but as a team they have
looked more polished and ready for
teal competition, which they cer
tainly got at Seattle last week.
Reinhart has not been the one to
sit and ponder about the loss of
two games and can be banked on j
to not do it now in spite of the i
time of the season or the standing
of the team.
Billy Proud of Teams
As a matter of fact, Billy’s bas
ketball teams have always been a
matter of personal pride to him—•
even two years ago when they
couldn’t win a game until they met
Oregon State. And then how they
went! More recently is last year’s

example, of a small team snatching
victory from the hands of jusl
about everybody in the last minute
of play. Oregon State beat Wash
ingon, the Northern d i v i s i o e
i champs, and then to make the sit
uation a little inextricable, the
Webfoots took the long end of the
score against the Beavers. Such
sensational playing with odds
against them, has given the Web
foots a reputation of their own.
Coach Reinhart will not an
nounce a definite lineup until the
night of the game, it was under
stood.

B. A. Men Issue
Pamphlet on Flax
Oregon Has 270,000 Acres
Fitted for Cultivation
“Oregon has, in the Willamette
valley, the largest acreage of high
grade flax fiber in the United
States; it has 270,000 acres adapt
ed to fiber flax culture, but as yet
this promising industry is still suf
fering under many difficulties.”
Such is the content of a bulletin
published by the business adminis
tration series for December, by
A. L. Lomax, of the Portland ex
tension center, and T. Van Guilder,
research assistant.
The Oregon flax industry needs
organization, and a uniform sys
tem of grading fiber, the pamphlet
stated. Growers, manufacturers,
and distributors of the product
must come to an agreement, if the
industry is to command the confi
dence of investment capital and
maintain a prominent place in the
state's industries, the report sum
marized.
More than a year of exhaustive
study by Mr. Lomax and his assist
ant are the basis for his conclu
sions, and it is expected by mem
bers of the business ad school that
the report will lead to improve
ments in the industry.
Staters Take Second
Straight From Vandals
Oregon State college hoop team
made it two straight from Idaho
by defeating the Vandals Tuesday
night, 41 to 34, at Moscow. The
two victories put the Staters in
second place in the Northern
standings with three wins and one
loss.
The Orangemen had little diffi
culty in taking the second contest.
After a slow start they found the
basket and ran up- a 24-to-9 lead
at the half. Close guarding on
the part of Fagans and Merrill
made it hard for the Vandal for
wards to get open shots at the
basket. Wicks, Idaho forward, led
the scorers with 12 points, fol
lowed by Ballard, Oregon State
forward, with 10 markers.

Feared by Coach
Of Oregon Squad
Hewitt Rates Cardinals as
One of Country’s Best
In Water Polo
“Oregon will meet one of the
strongest collegiate swim m i n g
teams in the United States when
it swims against Stanford on Feb
ruary 20," said Jack Hewitt, var
sity swimming coach yesterday.
“Stanford has one of the best
teams in its history this year and
its water polo team is considered
the best in the country.
A comparison of time in last
year's meets would indicate Stan
ford as a decided favorite over
Oregon this season. Stanford does
the 50-yard free style in 24:2 while
Johnny Anderson last year made
it in 25:4. Stanford makes the
100-yard free style in 54:4 and the
best Anderson could do it in was
58. Wadley, of Oregon State swam
the 220-yard free style last year in
2:34 while Stanford's time is 2:17.
Oregon has a very good swim
ming squad this season although
the loss of Johnny Anderson, dash
star, and Bill McNabb, backstroke,
is a hard blow.
Fletcher Adds Strength
“We should win the 200-yard
breast stroke this year,” said Hew
itt, “as Steve Fletcher can make
it in 2:40, while the best Stanford
can do is 2:44.”
"Above all,” Coach Hewitt said,
“I need sbme backstroke ipen. The
men I have are good but are far
from being in the class with Stan
ford.” Spain does the 150-yard
back in 2:10. Booth of Stanford
can do it in 1:42. Wadley, of Ore
gon State, does the 440-yard free
style in 5:26 and Stanford in 5
flat.
Oregon may turn the tide in the
diving events as Stanford's pros
pects this year are not so good.
Sam Nigh, Howard Dirks, and
Mike Marlatt are the varsity di
vers.
Dash Men Good
For the 50-yard dash, Coach
Hewitt will rely on Bob Needham,
Alfred Edwards, and Mac Miller.
In the 100 yard free style he has
Edwards, Needham, Miller, and
Francis Oglesby. For the 222
there aro Oglesby, Palmer McKim,
and Charles Foster. He has Mc
Kim and Foster for the 440 free
style.
In the backstroke there are Fred
Sears, Harrison Spain, John Allen,
Jean Grady, Parker Favier, and
Paul Lafferty who has been chang
ed to backstroke from breast. For
the 200 breaststroke he will have
Fletcher, Lafferty, and Jim Travis.
The loss of McNabb in the back
stroke will cut a good man out of
the medley relay.
Hewitt will begin time trials this
week and the real strength of the
team can then be ascertained.
FROSH ONCE FOUGHT
FOR CAP PRIVILEGE
(Continued from Faye One)
if they would have to fight for
| the privilege.
“The recent acts of the 1906
'people have at last attracted the
attention of the sophomore eye
and a manifesto has been issued
defining very clearly the position
of subordination most befitting a
freshman. Thursday morning the
sophs held a secret session, and
soon the following little document
neatly written out was glued fast
to the bulletin board in Villard
hall:
“ ‘Inasmuch as it is contrary to
precedent and not in accordance
with the dignity of the upper
classes of the University of Ore
gon for the freshmen of this in
stitution to wear class caps, it is
therefore resolved by the sopho
; more class of the University of
Oregon that the freshmen shall be
prohibited from wearing the class
caps; and it is further resolved
, that the sophomore class, trusting
in the neutrality of the junior class
and the senior class, shall deem
it their duty and privilege to en
force the above ruling.’ ”
The battles between the two
1 classes in the ensuing years were
violent and frequently bloody; but
with the freshmen always coming
out victorious. On one occasion
an assembly in Villard hall was
disrupte3s?when a body of angry
freshmen heaved a number of
sophomores, who dared dispute
their right to wear the green caps,
through the broken windows of
the building.
The enthusiasm of both "classes
was considerably dampened after
I this historic battle when it be
came necessary to take up a col
lection to pay for the damage done
to old Villard.
From that time until 1910 the
right of the freshmen to wear
then caps was not disputed, in

Journalism Graduate Prints
Lord’s Prayer in Latin Text
Robert F. Lane, graduate of the
school of journalism in 1926, with
the cooperation of Robert C. Hall,
manager of the University Press,
has published a hand-printed. Lat
in design of the Lord's Prayer.
This simple little prayer might
not seem so hard to translate into
Latin and put into fancy printing,
but a short talk with Mr. Lane
will show that many steps are in
volved in the making of such a
poster.
“During my job as designer of
this little poster," says Mr. Lane*
“I have been confronted with many
problems. On starting out my first
task was to find a type which
would be suitable for the subject
matter. After a careful research,
we, Mr. Hall and myself, decided
on one of the latest types out called
the Goudy Text. This type seems
to preserve the spirit of printing
of the old days and yet it stands
out clearly and distinctly. I next be
gan to look for a suitable initial.
During my search at the Univer
sity library, which has some won
derful reproductions of original
initials, I found one that was suit
able. The latter was of the type
Of the 15th century with some mod
that year the faculty and execu
tive committees decided that all
freshmen would be condemned who
did not wear the green lids.
What was the cause of the sud
den change in attitude toward the
freshmen is hard to conjecture,
but, at any rate, future freshmen
looked upon the lid no longer as
a badge of pride; it had suddenly
and disconcertingly become a
mark of degradation and class in
feriority.

the “America” near Ver-sur-Mer.
A plane was chartered and through
stormy skies, with a low ceiling,
the reporters flew to the scene of
the forced landing.”
The correct report for which a
complete editing and mechanical
force had waited eleven hours was
printed well before any of the oth
er papers could handle it. The
complete interviews with Byrd and
his companions ended the day for
the newspaper men.

of the type that was to be used.
“The paper that we used is call
ed Roma, which was chosen be
cause of its weight, color, and di
rection of wires. The ink which we
selected is supposed to have the
best pigment, the best grade of oil,
and the best print.
“The text was our next problem.
We found seven different versions
in Latin of the Lord’s Prayer each
varying in spelling and type. It
was decided to use the Bamberg
version because of its spelling,
which was the most accepted, and
j yet sufficiently ancient.
“After we had gathered all the

our printing we had to allow for
the evaporation and this was done
by keeping the paper between
moist blotters between each im

pressed four times. The paper was
first printed with the rule,, next
the rubrication, the initial, and last
the text done in dull black ink. We
printed only 100 copies of this
prayer at a cost, of about $80.”

‘‘South America is seriously
handicapped by its climate,” said
Dr. Smith. “In many places it is
low, wet, and tropical. The Ama

smothered with vegetation, and
has a climate so hot that it is
nothing but a hot, steaming mess

“The miners in the Peruvian
country north of Lake Titicaca
lead a wretched existence due to
the altitude of 14,000 feet. They
woidd probably find it impossible
to live were it not for a cocoa
drug which they take in large
| quantities. This drug is much the
same as cocaine. The country is
so barren that nothing but min
erals can be obtained from the
ground. To get to it one must
take the highest railroad in the
world, rising to an altitude of 16,
000 to 17,000 feet above sea level.
"I had intended visiting this
country, but a sudden revolution
in Peru prevented me. Natives
caused damage to the American
mining plants of 51,000,000, but
the Peruvian government has gen
erously agreed to repay the own
ers for all of the damage.”
