% r The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Phil Cogswell —IDAHO— As the Oregon basketball team has continued to drop game after game, those few optimistic fans remaining around school have kept chipping in with the remark, “Well, we'll beat Idaho anyway.’’ The team leaves this afternoon for Moscow where two contests will be played this,week-end. It will be seen whether the boys will get t going sufficiently to beat the Van I dais or not. —UPSET— The Webfoots certainly are po tentially stronger than Idaho. Even though the latter did nose out the Cougars one game, it was a tre mendous upset. Washington State proved it by turning around and whipping them 37 to 13 in the sec ond game. Yes, Oregon should certainly break into the win col umn at Idaho, and all the fellows on the squad are going north with that conviction with them. —PAID— Of course, it’s bad to boo the officials at a hoop game. Fla 1 grantly poor sportsmanship and all that. However, if one must boo, it is better to confine it to the referee or umpire than to pick on the players. In the first place the official is getting paid while the player who makes a mistake is working hard for nothing but an intangible profit. One thing about the conditions I up at McArthur court, riding has n’t started yet on the players. It has at other schools and is the lowest of low down spirit. Basket ball players are highly keyed up and everything depends upon each main maintaining that righ psy chological attitude. It’s easy for the crowd to get a player’s goat and then he goes to pieces com pletely. —STOPPED— Remember the player is out there doing the best he knows how and, incidentally, doing a whole lot more than the fellows sitting in the bleachers.

The ten players making the trip include Jean Eberhart, Cap Rob erts, Wally Boyle, Red Rotenberg, Bill Keenan, Kerm Stevens, Hank Levoff, Windy Calkins, Vincent Dolp, and Cliff Horner. Oregon Has Chance Coach Reinhart expressed con fidence last night that his squad had "more than an even chance to break into the win column. “They have an even chance against any team in the league,’’ he stated. “If the boys only get going, there’s no telling where we will end the season. Naturally the boys im prove with every game and they’re bound to click sometime. This should be the logical time.” New Lineup Used The Duck mentor also announc ed that he had been using a new first string combination this j wee\c, consisting of Stevens and j Dolp, forwards, Eberhart, center, Rotenberg and Boyle, guards, which will most likely be the start ing lineup. Boyle and Rotenberg have been steadily improving since the start of the season.

I was on the verge of buyin’ one one time but she changed her mind. Which is a woman’s privilege, I s’pose. But the average girl wears only one engagement ring in her whole life. There are' exceptions to the rule, but I’m talking about the average. That’s why it’s important to select that engagement diamond with care. You’ll have to admit that my argu ments are good. So I advise any young man to see the beautiful assort ment of sparklers here at the store and talk the matter over ith Mr. Skeie. He knows diamonds. If it comes from Skeie’s it will be good. .

Couple $1.00 Pennsylvania’s Athletic Plan Not Pratical Here9 Says Hall Pennsylvania's athletic policy adopted this week by its new pres ident, Thomas S. Gates, in which the coaches are employed on a strictly professo rial basis and re ceive professors’ salaries, is an ideal plan, but hot practical on the Pacific coast, said President Arnold Bennett Hall, yesterday. Dr. Hall two years ago to hire its next coach on the profes sorial plan. However, it was soon found by the executive council, student governing body, that it would not be wise to employ a coach of national reputation un less he wa3 given a long-term con tract. It was also found that with other schools paying high coach ing salaries Oregon could not get a prominent coach unless it met the competitive price. The coaches at Oregon are on a professorial basis only in that they are paid for instructing in physical education by the Univer sity. They receive additional pay from the studehts for coaching. Competition Too Great “There is too much competition among coast conference schools in the matter of coaches’ salaries to make a complete professorial sys tem practical here,’’ Hall said. “In the East, where coaches are not so highly paid, it might be pos sible to employ them as profes sors and pay them accordingly.” Eight years ago, under direction of John F. Bovard, dean of the | school of physical education, Ore gon tried out the professoria i coaching system and probably was ;the first school to adopt it. There were two drawbacks to it, how ever. First, even in those days it [was necessary to pay a coach more than a professor received if Oregon intended to retain a good man. Second, that it was found impossible to maintain student government and at the same time a professorial system as it was the students who paid most of the coaches' salaries. Coast Staffs Superior At the present time it is gen erally believed that the coaching staffs on the coast are superior to any section of the country. Pop Warner at Stanford, Dr. Spears at Oregon, Howard Jones at U. S. C., Jimmy Phelan at Washington, and “Navy" Bill Ingram at California are all receiving more than $10, 000 a year, which is considerably more than the professors’ salaries at the same schools. On the other hand, the coaches are in a highly competitive field, while the professors are not. Some of the professors here did not think the Pennsylvania scheme feasible, if Penn is to continue to compete with other large schools in her own class. A good coach, they pointed out, would not con tinue on the Penn staff at a pro fessor’s salary if he could receive more elsewhere. A poor coach would not be desirable even at Pennsylvania, as the disastrous season just concluded indicates, although, of course, there was no intimation that the coach was in capable. The fact remains that he lost games and was not re employed. Handball Games Advance Slowly Intramural Board Shows Several Forfeits HANDBALL SCHEDULE Today 4:20 H. Field vs. B. William. S.

According to the diagram on the 'bulletin board, whose accuracy is not unques tioned, four singles matches have been declared forfeited within the last day or two and one was played. Fred Deuel eliminated Louis Feves 21-18, 21-5 in the lone sin gles match played while Whitely, McGuire, Burgoyne, and Phillips were the default beneficiaries. In the doubles play Rhine and Cress received their match by forfeit, but two other games were played. Whitely and Benson breezed through Lewis and Lawrence 21-0, 21-10, and Donin and Lewis de feated Chapman and Barendrick in a pitched battle 21-18, 14-21, 21-18.

PRINCESS, BEAU AND DOG THEMES OF PLAYS (Continued from Faye One) Golden; “The Beau of Bath,” by Constance D’Arcy Mackay; and “The Dog,” by Doris Halman. Magician’s Shop Scene The action of the first play, which is directed by Erma Duvall, is set in the shop of a magician who can make little girjs vanish and return as princesses, and land lords vanish and never return. The cast is as follows: Cindy, Geneva Barr; Mr. I-Say, Harvey Welch; Matinka, Martin Galleghar; the king, George Root. "The Beau of Bath,” directed by Celia Thoma, is the story of an elderly beau who, dreaming at Christmas eve, has one more chance to speak to his old sweet heart. This play is one of a ser ies by the same author written on historical characters. The beau was in English history in the 18th century. Tlie cast is as follows: the beau, Gene Love; the lady of the Portrait, Jane Warner; Jepson, Miles Shaw'. Charge Found Necessary The third play, “The Dog” tells of a pretty but foolish little girl who goes out to kill a bear and kills a woodman’s dog instead. It is directed by Florence Holloway and is cast as follows: the city man, Jay Downs; the woodsman, James Henderson; Tiny (the girl), Jane Stange. For this program the drama de partment has found it necessary to charge 10 cents in order to meet the demands of the publishers for the Ust of the plays. Frosh, Rooks To Tangle on Friday Again Series Even I p at Present, Each Team Scoring Win On Home Floor Houghton Recovers From Injury; Starling Lineup Indefinite By B ALT BAKER With the “Little Civil War” se ries even tip. both teams handing in wins on their respective home courts, the frosh and rooks tangle again tomorrow night at McAr thur court. Last week-end the Oregon Babes suffered a 30-13 lac ing Friday night, and then trav eled to Corvallis Saturday to take a 26-24 defeat at the hands of a rejuvenated Orange outfit. With the count on even terms both teams are out for blood. From the looks of the frosh work outs the past week, it would be a safe bet that the Oregon yearlings will have plenty to say about the results. Stalling Perfected Coach Callison, in preparing his charges for the coming scraps, has spent most of the time in develop ing a sure-fire stall for time that proved so fatal in last week's game. With this play to fall back on and a little brains on the floor to direct it, the frosh will prob ably be out in the clear toward keeping the game on ice once they put it there. In effecting a scoring combina tion that can stand the gaff, Calli son plans to use a few new men in the regular lineup. Chuck Wishard, a rough and tough six footer, who incidentally plays a great game of football, has been getting the call at regular guard all week and looks like a cinch to get in the game. Wishard’s floor work and shooting aren’t all that they might be, but he has plenty of drive and a decided height ad vantage. Forwards Compete Along with Wishard will prob ably be the regular combination of Watts, Lillard, Temple, and either Houghton or Olinger. Houghton has been laid up all week with a bad hip that's jus), now rounding into shape, and comes back to the freshman squad to give Olinger a run for a for ward berth. Watts and Temple in particular have shown much im provement over last week’s per formance. Watts seems to have at last found his eye, and with Temple starting off the scoring plays in good shape, should con nect pretty regularly with the hoop. In the line of reserves, Eber hart, Oleson, Jeffers, Wilson, and Ballaid are holding down the bench at present but will undoubt edly see service in the games. MODERN EVILS SHOWN IN BLANSHARD TALK (Continued from Page One) working day, Mr. Blanshard con tended. “The worker today does not even have the dignity of a horse be cause, when a horse gets old he is fed, while a laborer is fired.” Discussing the criticism of pro posed changes in the capitalistic system—that the urge to all pro gress will be destroyed when the desire for profits is taken away— the lecturer said, “As a matter of fact many people today do serve without the profit, motive. Pro fessors and many professional men are examples. But because the wealthy man has been made so conspicuous, a standard of wealth has been set up.” Rlr. Blanshard concluded with further emphasis on his plea to the educated classes to concern themselves with the problems and to apply their training to them. Following his lecture a forum was conducted and he was ques tioned by the audience on topics ranging from piece work to the philosophy of the poet, “A. E." One student, who might have dis liked the speaker's implication that “most students are dead from ; j the neck up when it comes to la-; bor reform,” wanted to know l whether he would have to wait j another year to hear such a lec ture. Mr. Blanshard will speak again this morning at 9 o’clock on prob lems of racketeering and city cor ruption at room 101 in the Jour nalism building. Interested stu dents are invited to attend. His visit to Eugene was ar ranged by the University, with Louis A. Wood, associate profes sor of economics, and John Muel ler, professor of sociology, making arrangements. The Industrial and World Fellowship groups of the Y. W. C. A. helped in sponsoring the lecturer's appearance. FLORENCE AUSTRAL TO SING THIS EVENING (Continued from Vage One) She has had return engagements at the Cincinnati festival in 1927 and 1929. John Amadio was born in Wel lington, New Zealand.
