Idaho Grids > For Tilts With Oregon Five Vandals Drop Montana In Three Games Tall Men Make Optimistic Outlook for 1932 Hoop Season UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow.— (Special)—With a tough -scries of practice games out of the way, Coach “Rich” Fox, Vandal hoop mentor, is working his 1932 varsity basketball squad overtime in preparation for the opening of the conference season next Friday night when Idaho plays host to a traveling University of Oregon five. f The Vandals have just concluded a three-game series with Montana in which Fox’s men came out on the long end of all the scores. The return of Pete Wicks, flashy let terman, who had been out of ac tion with charley-horse has in duced a new spark in the Vandal offense. Tall Men Plentiful The problem of securing tall men for basketball teams which is con tinually bothering every hoop coach seems to have solved itself, at least as far as Fox is concerned. His group of returning lettermen average six feet two inches in height and in addition he has Grenier, who is a six-fiver, and McConnell and Herman, who^meas ure over the six-foot mark. Grenier, a sophomore, is making a strong bid for the first string center berth and is in line to re place the veteran Parks for that position. Grenier tallied 17 points in the final Grizzly fray. Vandals Hit Stride ^ The most effective lineup to date consists of Barrett and Lacey as forwards, Grenier in the pivot role and Herman and Wicks in the guard positions. Although the Idaho quintet did not run up the score against the Grizzlies that Washington State did, Coach Fox thinks his men will be able to furnish plenty of com petition for any combination Ore gon will be able to place on the floor. The Idaho team has improved rapidly since the opening contests and it is was only in the Montana series that the, Vandals began to function smoothly in an approach to mid-season form. With the squad at full strength for the first time this year, Fox is ready for the invading Webfoots. The Oregonians will also tangle with Idaho Saturday night. TEACHERS NUMEROUS “For the first time in five years all persons signed up for practice teaching have returned,” said Dr. Nelson L. Bossing of the educa tion department. “No doubt the fact that teaching positions are at such a premium is responsible for this condition,” he continued, “and there are at least 24 names on the waiting list ready to take any available job.” rmiTO TODAY and TOMORROW!

Hilton Law Prize Contest Subject Named by Hollis Material To Be Discussion Of Article 8, Section 3, Oregon Constitution The subject for this year’s Hil ton prize contest, open to all stu dents of the University of Oregon school of law with a first prize of $50, was announced recently by Or lando J. Hollis in charge of the arrangements. The contest will be an oral dis cussion of the proper interpreta tion of the following provision in article VII, section 3 of the Ore gon constitution;” ... no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-ex amined in any court of this state, unless the court can affirmatively say there is no evidence to support the verdict.” The contest this year will take place during the latter part of the winter term or early spring term, Professor Hollis stated. The law school through a trust fund at its disposal is offering a second prize of $25 and a third prize of $15 in addition to the first prize given annually since 1923 by Frank H. Hilton, Portland attor ney. The present question, relating to a part of the constitution inaugur ated by the people’s initiative, is of interest through its application in practice as a provision to preserve | a jury verdict against a court rul ; ing in matters of fact.

On that night the frosh will tangle with Jefferson high of Portland at Mc Arthur court in a game that prom ises to be a real test for Coach Cal lison’s boys. The Democrats won the Portland interscholastic league title last year and have a fast look ing outfit again this season. On the following evening, Jan uary 16, the freshmen play Salem on the latter's floor. A month of hard games follows these two opening contests, including four tilts with the O. S. C. rooks. The yearlings from Corvallis have a big fast squad this year, and these games should be hard-fought ones. Benson Unable To Play Another team which will meet the frosh in the next month is the strong Medford five. A game was proposed with Benson Tech, favor ites to win in the Portland inter scholastic league this year, but the Techmen could not arrange for the contest because of conflicting league games. Several 'dates are as yet open, however, and although the sched ule as arranged will keep the year lings busy, it is not yet complete.

Kopy Krawl Promises To Be Best Ever Staged (Continued from Page One) event, said that plans were afoot to get the hottest and “nertziest” band possible to vend syncopation for the wild rat-racing. The name of this organization, he revealed, will be announced at the first of next week. Francis Mullins, in charge of features, announced that some thing new “and just a bit more dashing” in entertainment for the affair would be offered. “Some thing popping every minute—well, anyway, every two or three min utes,” was his promise. He re vealed that an entire skit, origi nated by Donald Confrey and di rected by Louise Marvin, and which is to include dancing girls, quips, comedy, tragedy and a plan to cure the depression—all rolled into one, would be the headliner. The decorations, according to Fred Meads, are to carry out the tradition of former Krawls and will be designed so that they will serve as excellent mementos for the guests to take home and put in the room as something to re member the dance by. Vinton Hall and Barney Miller, in charge of publicity, revealed that plans were afoot for a series of circus parades and ballyhoo ral lies in which the members of the organization will throw dignity to the winds and afford the campus Ia spectacle second only to the Krawl itself. “Wait’ll you see Bob Holmes leading it” was the cryptic hint. In addition to this feature a number of other unusual and colorful “ballyhoo” stunts are be ing planned. Roger Bailey has announced that the tickets will go on sale the first of the week. Speaking cf his phase of the preparation, Bailey said: “This year I have en deavored to create something en tirely different and colorful in the way of pasteboards. We have gone to unusual cost and effort in preparing them for the stu dents.” SCHWEIUNG HONORED Hazel P.

IN THE PRESS BOX -..With Walt Baker . We'll try and keep out of the controversy, at least for the time being, that’s going on about changing the name of old Oregon from Webfoots to something else — anything else—so seems the opinion of those concerned. Per sonally, we think that Pioneers is just a trifle old-mannish and gives the impression of a footsore, al though rugged patriarch, with fa cial adornment similar to that sported by the House of David — and all the rest of it. Be that as it may, the main cog in the pres ent athletic situation is Bill Rein hart's basketball team. The boys leave this afternoon for Moscow, Pullman, and Spokane for a five game week on the road to open up the present conference season. Perhaps in the past most of the student attention here at the Uni versity has been centered on the football teams going out over the country and bringing in the thing called money—and, of course, rec ognition—for Oregon. Practically nothing has been done in the way of campus interest to stimulate basketball. Yet, until the Spears’ regime here, Oregon basketball had it all over football for finish ing right up with the leaders. These last couple of years have been tough going for the hoop sport, with the lack of financial income and ineligibility hitting pretty close to home, but they were’nt by any means failures. In consideration of these factors in volved, Reinhart has always man aged to put out a team that wins YWCA Bureau Reports Gain in Co-ed’s Earnings $1565 More Made Last Term Than Year Ago Figures released recently by Margaret Edmunson, Y. W. C. A. secretary, show that an increase of $1565 was earned last quarter over the amount earned in the fall term a year ago by girls employed through the local Y. W. C. A. The records for the last for years show a steady increase in the to tal amount earned by University women through the Y. W. C. A. employment bureau. In the year 1927- 28, $13,941 was earned; in 1928- 29, $14,248; in 1929-30, $15, 422; and in 1930-31, $19,848. Fall term 66 girls were employed in homes, working for all or part room and board, or room and board and extra. Employers are satis fied that with the decreased cost of food, the extra service rendered by the girls was well worth their room and board, according to Miss Edmunson. This term 300 girls need odd jobs. People desiring girls for reg ular housework, serving, taking care of children, stenographic work, or general office work are requested to notify Margaret Ed munson at the Y. W. C. A. If pos sible, a day's noticfc is preferred so that the best service can be ob tained. A. L. Scheffer Will Speak Before Sociology Majors Ited Cross Leader Plans To Consult With Students January 11 Marking the end of a series of talks by special Red Cross repre sentatives from Pacific coast chap ters, Mr. A.

LET US GET VOL K SHOES IN SHAPE FOR IT! CAMPUS SHOE SHOP over half of its games and that's something in any league. The 1932 basketball squad is handicapped in much the same way as those in the past—compara tively short men. In this game, a six-foot man is at a disadvan tage when put up against men like Antoncich of Washington, who is over six feet four; Gordon of Washington State, who is equally as tall; and Lewis of Oregon State, who measures 6 feet 4^ inches. The tallest man on Oregon's start ing lineup is Cap Roberts, center, who gets up to 6 feet 2 inches— by stretching a trifle—quite a handicap in height. Perhaps the man on the squad who shows the most promise is Spook Robertson, sophomore for ward, who has been doing lots of point-getting in the pre-season games. Robertson is over medium height, of natural basketball build and temperament, who fits into the Oregon (and not Pioneer) of fensive perfectly with an uncanny shot from the side-court that's good for two points 60 per cent of the time. The guard combination of Calk ins and Levoff brings together the most experience of the team—both two-year lettermen and playing their last year for Oregon. Reserves include Jim Watts, Max Rubenstein, who has had two years of bench-sitting experience, and Red Rogers, forwards. Others who may break into Reinhart’s first string lnieup are Chuck Wishard, Gib Olinger, Cliff Potter, and Homer Stahl. Scheffer is an outstanding figure in social work in America. He has had long practice in family case work in the middle west, and rose to his present position as director of Red Cross work on the Pacific coast after wide experience in chapter work and disaster relief. Mr. Scheffer will meet the class in training for rural executives Monday morning at 8 o’clock at the Eugene Red Cross office. The remainder of his morning will be taken up with conference with stu dents. Mr. Scheffer’s visit to Eugene offers an exceptional opportunity to meet and hear a man of nation al prominence in his field, Dean Parsons said.
