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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. Center
Out of Early Season Tilts
Ed Lewis, lanky Oregon State
basketball star, ought to cry loud
and lustily against the bad breaks
that Mistress Luck is presenting to
to him. She seems continually to
find enjoyment in depriving him of
a chance to show his warerf. T
He will not play in the early sea
son conference games for the Or
angemen because he broke a bone
in his hand last week in a hoop
tilt with San Francisco university
in the South.
Last year he was out for most
of the season because he had trou
ble with his knee. If it is not one
thing or another, it something else
that the fickle Dame Fortune con
trives against the star Beaver
Pivot man.
