^ Hoop Quintet Back; Coach Praises Five Three Out of Five Games Won by Duck Team On Road Trip Roberts Outstanding Man; Mentor Hopes To Take Games From Idaho The University of Oregon bas ketball squad returned to the cam pus yesterday after a successful road trip on which they took three out of five games. Practice will y’ start immediately for the two games with Idaho on Monday and Tuesday, February 16 and 17. Coach Bill Reinhart expressed himself as being very pleased with the showing made by the squad on their trip. “They showed a very much improved brand of basket ball,” he stated. “The two wins from Idaho were deserved and we should have taken at least one game from the Cougars. If the first game had been five minutes longer I believe we would have taken it easily, and the second fray was ours until the last few minutes when the Staters went wild.” Cap Roberts, big sophomore cen ter, stood out during the trip, Rein ^ hart stated. “In the last three games, particularly,” he said, “Roberts played sensational ball, j He was partly responsible for the j great rally in the opening Cougar fray. In the last game of the trip, against Gonzaga, he was the out standing man on the floor, scor ing seven field goals. Windy Calk ins played well, also, throughout the series.” According to Reinhart. Oregon should take both games from Ida ho, and "there's no reason why we 'shouldn’t cop a couple from Oregon State.” TODAY Handball 4:20 Jensen and Johnson—Cress and Rhine.

Eleven events will be run off. According to Hayward the try outs are being held so that he may get some idea of how his squad will shape up this season.

The events which will be held include the 75-yard dash; 150 yard, 300-yard, 660-yard, three quarter mile, shot-put, discus, high jump, pole vault, broad jump, and javelin.

Health Service To Test For Hay Fever Treatment Eecause students have been in quiring about hay fever, the health service is planning to make tests necessary for the prepara tion of extracts used for the treat ment of this malady. This work requires a great deal of time and it will be necessary for the students who are inter ested to come into the health service and secure special appoint ments, according to Dr. Fred N. Miller, University physician. The students should report to the dis pensary some time during the earlier part of next week. REQUIRED COURSES IN LIBRARY USE NEEDED (Continued from l'age One) work is asked of students, then students must learn to use the library efficiently.” Miss Casford emphasized the fact that ability to use the library efficiently not only would prove a boon to the students’ grades anc enrich their source material foi college work, but that the ability to use a library would enable then: better to continue educationa work after they were through col ' leg-*. PHILOGRAMS * * SPOT DOPE ON PORT NEWS By Phil Cogswell i Spring Football— Coach Spears’ ideas of the value of spring football practice are clear and convincing, but there's nothing like specific examples to show how great its benefit to a player may be. Back at Minne sota Doc had the spring workouts regularly. Did he ever have any j stars \ develop from them? Well, here is one case, and there were many more like them. * * * How Hondo Started— Fred Hovde, who Spears classes as one of his greatest players, had never played football in high schooi. He didn’t become inter ested in the game until the spring of his freshman year at Minnesota, Hovde weighed 132 pounds and wanted something to do for exer cise. They wouldn’t give him a track suit because they thought him too small. He went out for football practices and got a lot of fun out of them. He worked pretty hard and derived the bene fit of instruction from the senior varsity men and the coaches. The next fall he turned Out for the varsity and played less than three minutes altogether in regular games. * * * Did He Develop?— After spring practice again in his sophomore year, Hovde devel oped lar enough to hold down a steady job on the varsity in his junior season. He played at half or took the quarter’s place. By the time he was a senior he had gotten heavier. He weighed 146 pounds. Had he become a good football player ? Well, he ! was the highest scorer in the Western conference. Fred Hovde is still keeping up his contacts with Doc. The coach 1 has an interesting letter from him i from Oxford, where the ex-Minne sota quarterback is a Rhodes scholar, and a member of the school’s “rugger” team, which is what they call rugby over there. * » * The Near Stars— The great Nagurski had never played football before he went to college either. But he turned out to take advantage of the spring sessions. His junior year he was all-Western, his senior year, all American. Doc also nas had men who went out for varsity football in the fall, but in the spring turned their at tention to baseball or other sports. Spears does not criticize fellows who do this at all. He has observed, however, men who were only substitutes in their senior year for the football team and the other squads they tried for. It was certain that if these men had concentrated on football alone, and taken advantage of all the practices, they would have be come regulars if not gridiron stars. * * * The W hole Idea— Coach .Spears’ plans for spring I football have nothing compulsory in them. The sessions will be held for those who want to play foot ball for the fun and exercise of it. Every man needs some sort of workout, says Doc, and spring practice will be held for those who want to play football instead of golf, handball, or tennis. These men will be given expert coaching, and taught fundamen tals. To make the season inter esting there will be regular teams formed and every man will have a chance to play in games. Of course these men in spring prac tice will be under the close ob servation of Doc’s eye, and he will know the abilities of those who turn out for the varsity next fall.

The reader's ad viser, head of the department, out lines reading courses for such peo ple. Still another department is that which includes work for the blind, with the foreign horn, and with children. Master’s Degree Necessary “In the small library the libra rian must be all things to all men, women, and children in her com munity," Miss Long continued. “She must be all of the things that each specialist is in the large li braries.” It is becoming increasingly nec essary to nave a master’s degree in library science, Miss Long stated. This is earned the second year in a library school. Most schools place their graduates, and the American Library association has a placement bureau. The li brarian "gets about $1500 the first two or three years, after which her salary may be raised to $2000 or $2100 a year. Beyond that there is no great increase in re muneration. The future in library work lies in establishing better high school libraries, in county library work, and in the adult education work, Miss Long told the girls.
