Seven Boxing Champs Take Mitt Scepters McCall, Paul Co-Holders Of Heavyweight Title Winter, Weed, Naclitman, Cole, Pease, Pasion Other Winners BOXING CHAMPIONS Heavyweight—Harry McCall and Wilfred Paul, co-holders. Light Heavyweight — Larry Winter. Middlweight—Don Weed. Welterweight — Howard Nachtman. Lightweight—Tom Cole. Featherweight—Morrie Pease. Bantamweight — Benny Pa sion. Seven all-campus boxing cham pions were crowned in the mitt- ' slinging tourney held in the dying j moments of last term. Recognition is given at this late date because ; of the fact that the Emerald had i suspended publication at the time | the latter part of the tournament was in progress. The entrants were few and far between, but the few bouts actual ly fought were packed with action that was action. In three divisions, j the light heavyweight, lightweight, and bantamweight, there was only one entry, that automatically cinched the sceptre in each. In another class, the flyweight, there was nary an aspirant. The heavy weight championship battle ended in a draw, both contestants sharing the title in that division. Don Weed in the middlweight class and Benny Pasion in the ban- j tamweight division were the only boxers able to retain their crowns. The victors in all the other divis ions were champions for the first1 time. In a middleweight battle, Weed beat George McShatko for the championship. Harry Smith was runner-up to Howard Nachtman in the welterweight section, and Morrie Pease defeated Willie Prit chard in the title fray in the feath erweight class. Delta Tau Delta’s Intramural Rifle Team Wins Shoot Sharpshooters Eli m i n a t e | Gamma Hall To Take ROTC Trophy Delta Tau Delta captured the; cup given by the local R. O. T. C. ! unit in the intramural rifle compe tition by defeating Gamma hall, ! the runner up in the finals, 1645 points to 1629. Sigma Phi Epsilon, winner of last year’s shoot, did not | enter a team in the competition. During the matches several ex- ! ceptional marksmen were uncov ered, according to Ira Brown, rifle team manager. These men will be encouraged to turn out for the University team. Matches have been scheduled this year with teams in all parts of the United ' States, first to be fired on Febru- j ary 6. The range in the barracks was renovated during the holidays. [ Clean mats were provided for sit- \ ting and prone shooting. A new green curtain replaced the old, white one as a background for the targets. The new color will give greater contrast and lessen eye strain, Brown reports. AWS Office Organization Being Formed for Term The Associated Women Stu dents’ office is being completely reorganized and a new office force will carry out the winter term ac tivities, according to Nancy Suo mela, chairman of the office or ganization. Miss Suomela will be in the A. W. S. office from 3 to 6 every aft ernoon in order that girls inter ested in doing tlie work may dis cuss it with her and determine a convenient time. At 4 o’clock this afternoon in McArthur court Ann Baum will talk to all those who wish places on the office force. A new project inaugurated this year by the A. W. S. is the system of a file in which the activities of every woman student of the cam pus are recorded and checked once a month to determine whether students are participating in too many extra-curricular activities and with the view to encourage those who aFe not active to be come interested. “At any time the A. W. S. of fice is open for meetings and we wish to encoprage girls to use the office frequently,” Miss Suomeia said. Shoe, Sock Take Stroll By Selves Near Men’s Gym VVTAS someone murdered on the Oregon campus or did a student in tile hurried regis tration process lose part of his apparel as he dashed through the swiftly moving traffic? Anyway, the attendants at the U. of O. depot are possessors of a very good brown oxford and a wool sock which are waiting for their mates to come and re trieve them. The articles were picked up between Thirteenth avenue and the railroad tracks. Many Workin g Here to Help Pay Expenses Figures Show 87.5 Per Cent Employed Persons Striving To Stay In School Commended By Educators Although jobs of any sort are as hard for students to find as they are for others, a total of 87.5 per cent of men and women attending the University are partially or wholly self-supporting, statistics issued by Earl M. Pallett, regis trar, show. Of the nearly 3,000 students on the campus, 797, or 37 per cent, are wholly self-supporting, it is stated. These include 624, or more than one-third of the men, and 173 women. More than half the stu dents, or 55 per cent, earn more than half of their expenses. The percentage of those wholly self-supporting is high even in the freshman class, where 150 out of the more than 800 earn all their own expenses. In the senior class of 412 more than one fourth, or 120 of the 412, are wholly self-sup porting. * In the graduate division 149 of the 216 earn all their way. In the present unemployed sit uation, it is highly desirable that young men and women stay in school, educators point out, rath er than seek full time employment. In this way more work for others will be available, and the student will also be benefitting by his add ed education. Student “jobs” range from wash ing dishes in sorority houses to clerking and even acting as ex pert accountants for business firms. Employment is controlled by a central agency on the cam pus. which seeks to place compe tent students in the various posi tions. New Extension Course Started in Cottage Grove An extension class under the su pervision of the University exten sion division, is scheduled to start tomorrow evening in Cottage Grove. Dr. D. E. Clark, assistant director of the extension division, stated yesterday that the contin uation of the class will depend upon the size of the enrollment. The subject of the course is “Moral Education” and Professor H. S. Tuttle of the education de partment, will be instructor. The course is to meet every Tuesday evening during this term. Professor Mez Returns From Eastern Meeting Dr. John Ft. Mez, associate pro fessor of economics and political science, has just returned from Washington, D. C., where he at tended the 44th annual meeting of the American Economic associa tion, held December 28 to 30. Doctor Mez took part in the dis cussion of American foreign in vestments and the United States’ foreign policy, with special refer ence to the Caribbean. Approximately 1100 teachers of economics and political science from all over the country attended the meeting. Professor’s Residence Is Swept by Blaze Monday Fire swept the home of Samuel H. Jameson, associate professor in sociology Monday night, and left in its wake damage to woodwork and furniture estimated at S300. Firemen, called at 11:30, stated that the probable origin of the blaze was hot ashes from the fur nace. Woodwork and furniture in the basement were enveloped b> flame and furnishings on the upper (floor were damaged by smoke. WeblootQuint Trounced by Dallas, 26-23 j Conference Season Will Open at Moscow New Combinations Tried as Varsity Hoopers Win Practice Games BULLETIN The University of Oregon bas ketball team lost a tight game to the Dallas town team tonight by a 26 to 23 score in a pre season contest. The tilt was marked by the inability of the Reinhart crew to play effective ball with Red Roberts, Oregon center, showing as the only good performer for the Webfoots. McBee of the Dal- i las quintet was the outstanding player garnering 11 points. Tonight’s game was the second tilt lost by the Oregon five dur ing Its practice schedule. Coach Bill Reinhart is concen trating upon finishing touches to the Oregon varsity basketball squad before it starts Thursday on | the trip to open Jhe conference ! season in the northern division of I the Pacific coast loop. The Webfoots after a strenuous i pre-season schedule opens first in their drive for title honors by j meeting Idaho Friday and Satur- j day in Moscow. Games during the Christmas hoi- ' idays resulted in Reinhart’s men winning five out of six frays in which they displayed unexpected flash for early season games. The one game dropped by the Ducks was to Multnomah club, 36 to 32, after the game had to be run into overtime minutes before the club men gained an advantage. Ellensburg Normal Beaten The Ducks made their first ap pearance on the maple court by taking two tilts from Ellensburg normal by 33 to 31 and 35 to 16, when the visitors had come into Oregon widely heralded as favor ites after throwing scares into some of the best college fives in the north. Oregon took the Florsheim in dependent quint of Salem down by a 42 to 21 count and followed with victories over Eldon Jenne’s Pa cific university combination by scores of 50 to 14 and 68 to 12 in which the Oregon scoring aces, Captain Calkins, Spook Robertson and Red Roberts ran wild. Reinhart Tries Men Most of the pre-season tussles were marked by experimentation on the part of Reinhart as he made j change after change in the lineup in an effort to develop his most effective combination before the j start of the road trip. Calkins and Robertson will be cinches for either guard or forward positions unless the unexpected happens while Roberts has the in side on the center job. Hank Le voff has been turning in his usual steady performance in the guard post and will undoubtedly be hard to force out of his share of playing time. Stevens Out Reinhart lost the services of Kermit Stevens who has been a stellar performer for the last two campaigns as a result of Stevens’ failure to keep up his scholastic requirements in the University. Stevens was to have played his final year of varsity competition this season and was regarded as one of the mainstays or the Web foot machine which Reinhart is driving into shape. Rogers, Boyle, Potter, Wishard, Watts, Rubenstein and Olinger have been used thus far in the at tempt to strengthen the Webfoots and they are working hard to break in as regulars. FAMED VIQLINIST TO OPEN SERIES SUNDAY (Continued from Page One) some of his chamber music in an American tour. Visited in 1922 Enesco’s first appearance in this country was made in 1922. He was heard on the campus here in 11927, when he piayed in the audi torium of the Women’s building. In appearance, Georges Enesco I is rugged and powerfully built. His shoulders are massive, his features firm and strong. His manner is simple and dignified, and his play ing is not marred by any of the cheap tricks of theatricalism, ac cording to faculty members who ! have met him and heard him play. There is no waving of the bow, no I tossing of the head, shaking of the shoulders, or weaving about. He plays the music as simply a»-d as accurately as'possible, trusting to virtuosity of technique and sin cerity of interpretation to convey the poetry and emotica which are | the pleasure of mu=ic. Recalcitrant Ford Bucks Violently, Injuring Student TVflSSING classes on the first 1 * day of winter term is had business, but it is sometimes physically necessary. So says Harrison Spain, jun ior in business administration. Yesterday morning, while try ing to start his cold Ford, it refused to turn over, kicked back, and Spain suffered a broken arm. Spain is now carrying his arm in a cast, treatment for which he received at the Eugene hos pital. Intramural Sport Events Will Begin On Next Monday Handball Tourney Among Houses To Be First On Program Intramural athletic activities get 1 under way for this term next ! week. The house events to be run j off this semester include volley ball, handball, and track. The all campus tourneys scheduled are i handball, wrestling, and fencing. Entrance blanks for the house j contests will be sent out imme j diately, according to Earl Boushey, I director of intramural athletics. Entry sheets for tl*.e individual i competition are to be posted today in the men's gym. The first activity to get under way is intramural handball on next Monday, January 11. It is strictly an elimination tourney among the living organizations. The all-campus handball rivalry [ is slated to come off beginning January 18. Intramural volleyball, a league and not an elimination af ! fair, will get up steam on January I 25. The donut athletic authorities advise aspiring tracksters to begin a training grind as soon as possible and offer wrestlers similar sug gestions, the bone-crushing tour i ney to begin about the middle of February. Three Instructors Speak At State Teacher Meeting Three professors of the Romance language department gave lectures at the Oregon State Teachers’ as sociation meeting held m Portland during the holidays. Dr. R. P. Bowen, chairman of the ; department, gave a talk on “How the Interest of Language Students Can Be Held.” Dr. Chandler B. Beall, assistant professor of Romance languages, gave an address on the use of pho | netics in modern language teach ing. Mr. Louis M. Myers, instruc '' tor in the department, discussed the use of uniform textbooks in all schools. Frosh Resume Practicing for Hoop Season Three Regulars Fail To Return This Term Yearlings Play Jefferson Jan. 15; Go to Salem January 16 When the frosh basketball squad resumed practice Monday night j several men who had shown prom ■ ise in the early workouts last term were missing. As three of these hoopsters were playing regularly with the first five, their loss will be felt keenly. Ted Hansen, the tall, blond cen ter, did nc^t return to school this j term; Wes Clausen, the midget for ward from Portland, will spend his extra time with his studies; while big Joe Walsh," guard, had to stop working out because of an injured knee. Walsh's injury kept him out of frosh football this fall and will probe bly keep hull off the basketball court for the rest of the season. New Men Out Several new faces have been seen in the first workouts this term, however, and Coach “Prink” Callison has been using new men and reserves carried over from last term to fill in the holes left by the men mentioned above. Sylvan Campf, who has been working out with the varsity, is filling in well at the center berth left vacant by Hansen. Chuck Clay, Stan Kostka, and Ralph Thomas are three year lings who are playing good enough ball for first-string berths. Ralph Terjeson, and Arne Lindgren, who have shown stellar form during the early practice, are out again and seem to be sure to make up part of the starting combination. Season Opens January 15 The yearlings have a tough schedule this year and with the short practice period have little time to whip into shape for the opening games. Long practice ses sions and scrimmages will make up most of the program from now until the first game which will be played in Eugene on the evening of January 15 with Jefferson high school, last year’s Portland city champions. On the following night the frosh travel to Salem where they meet the runners-up in last year’s state high school tourna ment. Both of these games will be real tests for Callison’s proteges, as the Quakers and the Red and Black represent the highest type of scholastic basketball and have al ways played on even terms with the first year men. MISS THOMPSON INJURED Miss Anna M. Thompson, assist ant professor of Romance lan guages, was not able to attend her classes Tuesday because of an in jured foot she received in a recent fall.

JR FLOOR OO IN THE PRESS BOX —. with Bruce Hamby « o Change the name of Webfeet to Pioneei'3? Never!—say many. Why not?—say others. Ever since Roy Craft, sports edi tor of the Register-Guard, sug gested that the name of Oregon’s athletic teams be changed, there has been heated controversy, with some very interesting arguments on both sides. For some time the Guard used the name of “Pioneers" in referring to Oregon teams, but lately Craft seems to have dropped it. The Eugene News still sticks to the new title, however, although they still use Webfeet occasion ally. L. H. Gregory, sporting editor of the Oregonian, is one of the leading opponents of any change in the name of Oregon's teams. This is only logical, for it was he who first suggested Webfeet as the nickname. His chief arguments against Pioneer are that such a name carries no particular distinc tion. Dick Neuberger, University cor respondent of the Oregonian, who recently wrote a biography of Dr. Spears for that paper, evidently believes the same way as his boss, Mr. Gregory. He almost disrupted the Emerald office last night with a lengthy discourse on why Pio neers cannot hold a candle to the name of Webfoots. He had to ar gue principally against Bob Allen and Estill Phipps, both of whom think Pioneers is all right. When Allen contended that the statue of the Pioneer on the Ore gon campus adds further luster to that name, Neuberger came back with the uncontested state ment that the statue of the “Iron Lady” on the Oregon State cam pus had never made anybody think of calling the O. S. C. athletes “Iron Ladies.” Neuberger also upheld Gregory’s opinions when he said that Oregon had no more right to claim the name Pioneer than New York, Florida, Rhode Island, California, or any other state. He said that Roger Williams was just as much a Pioneer to Rhode Island as Ezra Meeker was to Oregon. Both Phipps and Allen doubted the logic of this statement but made no direct comeback. Neu berger went on to say that Oregon had no more right to lay claim to Pioneers than the word farmer.” He said that while there were un deniably a considerable number of farmers in Oregon, that there also were farmers elsewhere, and, therefore, Oregon’s athletes could not rightfully be called farmers. The session closed with all par ties going strong, Phipps and Al len lambasting Webfoots whenever they could, and Neuberger claim ing that Pioneers sounded more like the name of a Boy Scout troop than a football team. But there are those who support a change in the names and believe that Pioneers is a very appropriate ’ title. Stuart Wells, sports editor of the U. C. L. A. Bruin, writes ; the following: I think that a change in Ore gon’s athletic nickname would be welcome to everybody who has anything to do with writing sports. For a long time I have felt that the name Webfeet was a poor name for the following reasons: 1. The “Duck,” as personified by the name Webfeet, does not j seem to be an adequate animal synonym for a university’s ath letic teams. 2. The terms DMck and Webfeet are constantly confused with the Pacific coast baseball club of, Portland. 3. From a grammatical stand point, Webfeet presents a difficult problem. Is the plural "Web foots” or "Webfeet”? Neither sounds correct, and I find it hard to maintain a consistent style in j this matter. While I like the name “Yellow jackets,” it seems that so many other colleges have the same name that it might be a bit confusing. ; It is true, of course, that Oregon would be the only institution on the coast using the name. I be lieve the term “Pioneer” would be the better. The state of Oregon, like California, is rich in pioneer lore and its history is built around the traditions of hardy trail blaz ers. Nothing could be more ap propriate for Oregon’s state uni versity. It would not only add glamour and romance to your campus, but would give you a dis tinctive name which, I think, is unduplicated in colleges of the United States. Ed Lewis, O.9.C.
