V VOLUME XXXIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1932 NUMBER 48 Casaba Squad To Depart for Idaho Contest Battles in Potato Country To Open Conferenee Cougars, Gonzaga on Menu Also for Strenuous Road Session With the bad taste of a close pre-season defeat at the heads of the hands of the Dallas city five, Coach Bill Reinhart’s varsity bas ketball squad will leave this after noon for Moscow, Idaho, where they will meet the Vandals Friday and Saturday nights. Ten men and Student Manager Walt Baker will make the trip. Five games are scheduled for the road trip. Following the two game series with Idaho, the Web feet journey nine miles to Pullman, Washington, where they will face the Cougars on Monday and Tues day nights. On Wednesday night they meet the Gonzaga quintet in Spokane. Five Wins in Seven Games The varsity wound up its prac tice schedule with a hard-to-take defeat by an independent team in Dallas, 26 to 23, Tuesday night. This gives them five wins in seven pre-season games. The other team to defeat them was the Multnomah club outfit of Portland, which won an overtime contest, 36 to 32. The Vandals have a squad that averages around 6 feet 2 inches in height. Besides the first string ers, there are three other candi dates for the varsity who can keep this average up. Wicks and Bar rett, lettermen, are the scoring threats of Coach Rich Fox’s team. Both of these men caused Oregon plenty of trouble last year. Cougars Favored The Cougars are favorites to press Washington for Northwest title honors this year. As \vas the case last year, the Cougars will have a great advantage in height, with Huntley Gordon, 6 foot 5 inch center, the big threat, Last year Oregon had little difficulty in de feating Gonzaga, so one victory on the road trip seems very probable. Reinhart announced last night that the traveling squad would not be chosen until some time to day. The men from whom the v group will be chosen includes Rob erts, Robertson, Levoff, Calkins, Wishard, Watts, Olinger, Red Rogers, Rubenstein, Stahl or Pot ter. Cap Roberts, Spook Robertson, Hank Levoff and Captain Calkins are the only ones sure to start. So far Jim Watts, Max Rubenstein and Cliff Potter have done most of the playing in the vacant posi tion. The team will leave Eugene at 4:45 this afternoon and will return next Thursday.

If you haven’t, it’s about time to get on the boat. Hunt early and avoid the rush in the attic. Only seven more hunting days before the big event opens at 7:30 next Wednesday in the big gym of Ger linger hall. Costumes of any sort and var iety will be in order for this all women splurge which replaces the April F'rolic given on previous years. Prizes for the best costumes will be given in the form of gold pieces; 55 for the first, and 52.50 for the second. Take heed, all ye sufferers from ye depresh! Here’s a big chance to earn your room and board for a week! One of the snazziest little acts that has yet been presented to the campus this year is promised by the Senior Cops when they offic ially open the Capers with a song and dance. Words and music of the song were written by Beth Ann Johnson, and Elizabeth and Esther Kaser of Junior Vodvil fame. Ma rie Myers is the slave driver. Between acts, which will be giv en by the four classes in compe tition for the Laraway cup, there will be features and dancing, with Con Hammond’s orchestra. And if that doesn’t satisfy your soul for a good time, you can buy pop corn balls and eskimo pies at a nickel apiece. Is a Saint a Dud If He Ain’t In Mud, Wonders Cynic Hats off to Frank Roosevelt! He may take a licking .but he’ll take it like a man To a hostile legislature he says, “Increase personal income tax, declare by law that the la bor of a human being is not a commodity, set a minimum wage for women and children, let cities generate their own power.” He fires a broadside at the iconoclasts by declaring for the “right of every individual to make a living out of life.” And “Yellow-Sheet” Hearst broadcasts "Rosevelt is too Wil j sonian.” Nope, Franklin D. doesn’t come up to William Randolph’s ideal. Probably couldn't flash a photo of a brothel or roll a drunk for a love note. Irately, Webfoot Charley.

However, the Utah debaters con tended that this plan had too many flaws, and that “the cure is hav ing the leaders in the United States and the other countries of the world use the same measure of foresight which has led them up the trail from feudalism.” They admitted the necessity of cooperation and suggested that the government should act in an advisory capacity rather than set ting up superfluous boards. They denied that competition was “eco (Continued on Page Three) Doctor’s Orders Accommodated By Dorm Diet Table Whether your ailment requires Boston clam chowder or boiled dinosaur eggs, the health depart ment of the men’s dormitory will do its best to supply you under the plan tried out last term which was supervised by Miss Genevieve Jones, University dietitian.

General admission has been set at 25 cents, and A. S. U. O. officials are confident that there will be a large public response to this ges ture. They are making an experi ment never before attempted on any university campus. When En esco played at Stanford and Wash ington several years ago, admission was one dollar. When he played here in 1927, the prices were the same. Response to the 25 cents admis sion price for Handel’s "Messiah" given by the University Polyphon ic choirs and orchestra at the close of last term was so enthusiastic that Assositant Graduate Manager Robnett decided in favor of con tinuing the policy for at least this first concert of the A. S. U. O. series. Other concerts in the series will present the Kedroff Russian male quartet, the Eugene Gleemen, the Portland Symphony orchestra, and the University Symphony orches tra.
