4 WebfootGolf Stars Ready For Campaign \ incent Dolp, George Will, And Harry Kincaid Veterans Northern Conference Title Tournament To Be Held Here With the return of nice weather Oregon's varsity golf aspirants are shining up the old clubs and feel ing the urge to tramp the fair ways. According to Hal Fraundorf, senior golf manager, indications f point to another successful season for the Webfoots on the links. Heading the list of veterans who will be on hand is Vince Dolp, last year's Pacific Coast Intercollegiate champion. Other lettermen are: George Will, former captain, and Harrison Kincaid. Bill Palmberg probably will not be on deck. Although Don Moe, Oregon’s most famous golfer, has returned to school, chances are that he will not go out for the team this spring. New material which will furnish keen competition for positions on the squad include Bob Near and Charles Gruenig. This season Oregon will be host to the Northwest section of the conference in the play-offs. This involves a new plan inaugurated by the graduate managers recent ly. Previously one tournament in v which both northern and California | schools were entered, determined the champions of the coast. This ! time the winner of the northern division will be host to the south ern winner. A definite schedule has not yet 19 Letters To Be Given Basketball Men, Sivimmers Nino basketball men and ten swimmers have been awarded let ters for their work during the win ter season.

PHILOGRAMS - ♦ Sport news°n By Phil Cogswell Fall of Thorpe— It seems incredible that the name, Jim Thorpe, which in the realm of sportdom belongs to the man known as the greatest athlete of modern times, is now to be as sociated with a pick and shovel laborer earning $4 a day. Yet Thorpe, at the age of 40 cip thereabouts, is digging up clods where they are excavating for a new hospital in Los Angeles, and is trying to earn enough to support two sons, aged 4 and 2. No one on the job admires his muscles, and the timekeeper knows him only as J. Thorpe. The American schoolboy hero worshipper who has listened rev erently to snatches about the mar velous feats of the famous Indian athlete will feel sad indeed to pic ture him now as a lowly ditch digger. * * * At His Height— Better to remember Thorpe as he was in the days of 1912 at the Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, where Bill Hayward supervised his ! training. Thorpe was then at the height of his career. Just previously he had been attending Carlisle Indian school and his exploits on the grid iron ranked him as the greatest football player before or since that time. The Olympic pentathlon, and decathlon, consist of five and ten events respectively which put an athlete through a supreme test of versatility. There were about 150 men entered in each of them. Thorpe won both, the only man ever to do it. i Gave Up Trophies— Bill Hayward has pictures of Thorpe being presented with the trophies by the king of Sweden foewinning the decathlon and pen tathlon. One of them was a silver viking ship set with gems offered by the czar of Russia which was all Jim could hold in his arms. The other was a bronze bust of the king himself. However, Thorpe had hardly gotten back to the United States before they discovered that he had played baseball somewhere for $25 a week and they took his awards away from him. The king of Swe den offered to duplicate the tro phies, but he wouldn't hear of it. All he has now are photographs of them. * * * An Old Story— Hayward says Thorpe was like all Indians, he enjoyed his liquor. He would train all right for an event, but afterwards he celebrat ed. It was the same trouble as af fects a lot of athletes who sudden ly find themselves outside the sta dium just hearing the echo of the cheers. Jim sums it up himself. “Guess it’s an old story. I liked to be a good fellow with the boys." Hayward declares Thorpe could n’t keep money at all. This must be true for the last 15 years he has played both professional foot ball and baseball, and must have made a small fortune. Yes, best to remember Thorpe as the man who had a standing bet out that he could always make his ten yards in three downs, and never lost his bet.

Intramural Managers Plan Spring Program Before a rather slender group of athletic representatives yester day, Paul R. Washke, intramural director, laid final plans for the coming intramural season. Base ball, golf, and tennis have been chosen as the spring inter-organi zation sports. After a brief introductory ad dress, Mr. Washke introduced Earl Boushey, Art Ireland, and Jack Hewitt, who will have immediate charge of the activities. These instructors cleared up any doubt ful points concerning the rules and playing conditions of the sports. A rather novel arrangement was adopted by the group con cerning the baseball leagues. If there are more soft-ball leagues, the league winners of both base ball and soft-ball will be forced to play soft-ball for the champion ship. If there are more baseball leagues, the situation would be re versed.

Hayward contracted a severe cold last week searching the countryside in the Luke Creek ' region for valuable taniera equipment that was in his car when it was stolen. The ma chine was found in a ditch 10 miles from Junction City, but it was stripped. Bill, believing that some of the material might have b e e n tossed in the brush, searched in the rain and nuid for two or three days, but to no avail. Sigma Chi Probation Ban Lifted Term Early Ralph David, junior in journal ism, was elected president of Sig ma Delta Chi, national profes- j sional journalism fraternity, yes terday at a luncheon meeting at , the College Side. Other officers chosen were; Phil Cogswell, vice president; Merlin Blais, secretary; and Victor Kaufman, treasurer. It! was also voted that the president shall attend next year's Sigma | Delta Chi convention to be held at the University of Minnesota. J David has been prominent in! campus journalism, and at present; he is an editorial writer of the Emerald. The other officers are also on the Emerald staff. Cogs well is sports editor, Blais is a reporter, and Kaufman is promo tional advertising manager. The retiring officers are; T. Neil Taylor, president; Ralph David, vice-president; Harry Van Dine, treasurer; Lester McDonald, sec retary, and Robert Allen, Quill re porter.

THREE SCHOOLS OPEN DRAMA TOURNAMENT (Continued from Page One) Taylor, and Marvin Shaw. It was directed by Eariel Lee Gilbert. The second play, “Somebody,” directed by Richard L. Melville, was a decided contrast to the light and delightful comedy of the first. It is the horrible portrayal of the change of a man from a free and adventure-loving man to a coarse and drunken hangman. His wife’s nagging desire for him to have a steady job and to “be somebody” led him to accept the position of hangman because somebody has to do it and not many have the nerve. He feels himself to be everybody because he represents the whole state and has such great power that to him can be made no ap peal. The horror rises to its final pitch when he strangles his own 3on and the story is immediately seized upon as a scoop for the newspaper. Roy Stout as the hangman gave perhaps the most powerful piece of acting of the evening. He was admirably sup ported by Shirley Stuart, the wife; Joe Mitchell, the son, and Don Bennett, the reporter. The third play, “Jazz and Min uet,” was still a different type from either of the two preceding, for it combined both the modern and the costumes of 150 years ago. This is a case where the very mod ern miss learns something from the experience of her great-great aunt and thus avoids a similar tragedy. It was very well done by a cast consisting of Althea Peterson, Jeane Holden, John Mil ligan, Claire Bryson, Katherine Coleman, and Robert Lowery. If the rest of the plays continue Come Out and Play Spring brings that urge to be out and playing golf. Golf to- the student who is tired of study. La ureliDooD to be given in so fine a manner, the judges may have trouble in making a final decision. Tonighi's plays have a high standard set for them. "Two Crooks and a Lady" is directed by Robert Cur rier. The cast consists of Robert Richmond, Ruth Ford, Bernice Richmond, Elene Brown, Beldon Richmond, and Tom Richmond. The second play, “lie," directed by Margaret Morgan, is a sea tragedy. The cast is as follows: Tom Linden, Bud Roberts, Virgil Elwell, Louis Kelsey, Peggy Matli eison, Clifford Parks, Mario Bisio, Edward Rodgers, Frank Heinrich, Francis McElroy, and Billy Stras ser. “Judge Lynch” is a serious drama directed by Mrs. Ethel Chase Christie, with a cast con sisting of Peggy Reynolds, Eunice Elliot, Rolla Goold, and Bruce Tuck. Tickets are on sale at the Guild theatre box-office for 35 cents.
