Pioneer-Ducks Set to Open Conference Hoop Season Against Muscovites Tonight Oregon Hoop Squad Leaves On Five-Game Trip; First Game With Idaho Tonight 10 Men MakeJUp Invaders; W. S. C. and Gonzaga Also To Be Mel Ten Webfoot hoopsters left yes terday on a trip that will carry them through three states playing their first conference games of the present season. The Oregon five meets the Idaho Vandals tonight at Moscow in the initial contest. Four more games will be played before the varsity men return to the campus. They meet Idaho again tomorrow night and then travel to Pullman where they meet W. S. C. in two games Mon day and Tuesday night. Gonzaga plays host to Reinhart's squad in the fifth and last game of the tour in Spokane on Wednesday night. The men who made the trip are Captain Winsor Calkins, Hank Levoff, and Charles Wishard, guards; Cap Roberts and Homer Stahl, centers; and Jack Robert son, Jim Watts, Max Rubenstein, Gib Olinger, and Cliff Potter, for wards. Those who will probably get the call in the opening line up are Calkins, Levoff, Roberts, Jack Robertson, and Watts. Idaho has a much improved en try in the conference race this year, and the Oregon quintet will have its hands full keeping the Vandals in check. Webfoots Lack experience The Webfoot squad is made up mostly of inexperienced men, and although their early season games have proven that they can play basketball, their inexperience will handicap them with the veteran Vandals and Cougars. The latter team is composed of young giants, none less than six feet tall, led by Center Huntley Gordon, the con ference high scoring ace last sea son. Captain Calkins has been play ing good, steady ball during early season games and can always be counted upon to carry his share of the attack. Robertson and Olinger, both new men, have shown sur prisingly good ball in early games. Both have proven to be good point getters, and have shown more floor-covering ability than their experience would justify. Hank Levoff and Cap Roberts are other veterans who can always be count ed upon to play a consistent game. Max Rubenstein was carried over from the reserves of last year, and has been playing a good brand of ball. Watts, Wishard, Stahl, and Potter are all inexpe rienced, but have been improving with each practice. The absence of Dolp, Keenan, and Stevens, mainstays of last year’s squad, from the Webfoot line up, makes the outlook for the trip decidedly pessimistic since the Vandals and Cougars are well equipped with returning lettermen plus considerable sophomore tal ent. The 1931 yearling squad con tributed but one possible regular, Jim Watts, to Reinhart’s varsity machine.

The past week has been devoted to scrimmages and, as yet, no definite decision has been reached in regard to a start ing quintet. Callison’s chief trouble lies in the pivot position. When big Ted Hansen failed to return to school this term he left a hole at center that will be hard for any of the candidates turning out now to fill. Bob Miller, Sylvan Campf, and Wayne Jameson have been work ing in this position, and all show promise of developing into first rate pivot men but all lack height. Guards Are Good In the guard positions the squad is a little better fortified. Joe Walsh was lost at the end of the1 term because of a bad knee, but in his place will be Ralph Terjeson, Roland Rourke, Stan Kostka, Bill Berg, and J. B. McClain. The for mer two will probably get the call in earlier games as they have both been showing a fine brand of ball in practice. Terjeson is a good, steady player and can always be counted upon for a good game. Rourke, Kotska, Berg, and McClain are all big, fast fellows and have shown defensive ability. A host of forwards have been reporting, but it looks as if the choice will lie among Chuck Clay, Arne Lindgren, Wilson Siegmund, and Ralph Thomas. All of these boys are stellar offensive players. Lindgren, who played for the state champion Astoria five two years ago can handle the ball well and is quick in the diagnosis of plays. Clay has been suffering from a weak knee but should be in good shape by next Friday. Siegmund and Thomas have been working in reserve roles and have shown marked improvement during the last few weeks. Squad in Good Shape The entire squad is in perfect physical condition except for a few sore muscles due to the rest over the Christmas vacation but in a week these should all be eliminat ed, and the yearlings will be at their full strength to play the Sa lem high five Friday evening at. McArthur court. WAA, Obsidians ^Sv ill Hike To Skagg’s Butte Sunday Skagg’s Butte will be the des tination of the W. A.

A Startling True- Life Story ' SATURDAY ONLY “JUST FOR A SONG” Idaho Awaits Start of Hoop Honors Race Vandals Preparing for Webfoot Onslaught Wicks To Lead Attack for Fox’s Hoopsters at Moscow Tonight UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Jan. 7.—(Special to the Em erald.)—Planning to get off to a flying start in the race for honors in the northern division of the Pa cific Coast conference, the Idaho I basketball squad anxiously awaits the opening of the first contest of the season against the University of Oregon tonight. After showing up much better than was expected in the pre-sea son series and with the return of the high-scoring veteran forward, Pete Wick3, to the lineup the Van dals are in line to topple the visit ing Webfoots. When Wicks, who had been on the injured list during the first non-conference tilts, took his old post, the whole outfit took on a new life and functioned in effective style. Grenier May Start Stan Hale, another seasoned per former, is also making his bid for a regular berth after being on the injured list. Hale’s pldying in the last games makes him a probable starter in the tussle tonight, al though the official lineup has not been divulged. It is likely that Howard Grenier will get the call over Ken Parks for the tip-off job. Grenier, a sophomore, has starred in many of the preliminary frays due to his scoring ability. Parks, although a letterman, is having a tough time keeping up with his inexperienced rival. “Skinny” Nelson grabbed off honors in the Ellensburg normal contest with 24 points in the two games and will be in the fight this evening without a doubt. Oregon Scorers Feared After a year’s absence from bas ketball competition, Ed Hurley is fighting hard for a place on the starting five. He played two years ago as a center but has been made over into a guard this season be cause of the height of Grenier and Parks. Ed Lacey and Horton Her man, another sophomore, shone brightly in the Montana affair and will see action while the Webfoots are in this city. While the strength of the Ore gon quint is not known, it is be lieved here that Idaho will have a good chance to start off the sea son with figures in the win col umn. Coach Fox, however, is plan ning his defense to take care of Bill Reinhart's scoring threats, Calkins, Roberts, and Robertson. Joint \\ omen’s Conclave To Convene January 10 Baiun To Preside at Y. W. C. A., A. YY. S., W. A. A. Confab The A. W. S., Y. W. C. A., and W. A. A. conference will be held next Sunday, January 10, at Pe ter’s Lodge. Ann Baum, president of A. W. S., will preside as chair man of the conference. The meeting will open at 9 o’clock Sunday morning and will continue until about 10 o’clock that night. Talks will be given by Vir ginia Grone, representative from A. W. S., Helen Chaney, represen tative of Y. W. C. A., Frances Haberlach, representative from W. A. A., Ellen Sersanous, Amy Sten, Dean Hazel P. Schwering, Mar garet Edmunson, and Margaret Duncan. A free luncheon will be held at noon, a tea will be given in the afternoon, and dinner will be served at 6 o'clock. The confer ence will close with a worship ser vice. LAST TWO NIGHTS SATURDAY MATINEE TECHNICOLOR ( OMEDY Curiosity and News IN THE PRESS BOX — — With Estill Phipps ======== The varsity basketball season for the northern branch of the Pa cific coast loop gets under way tonight. The outcome of the first sessions will give the so-called ex perts and indulgent rail-birds all over the Northwest a chance to talk about something tangible in stead of making wild predictions as to the relative strength of the various squads. Coach Bill Reinhart will get his initial opportunity to see his 1932 edition under the fire of collegiate competition when his Pioneers (or Webfoots as some of the elite are wont to call them) tangle with "Rich” Fox’s Idaho outfit in Mos cow for the next two evenings. * * * From the looks of the men on the Vandal roster it appears that things should be plenty tough for the Oregon representatives. Such men as Wicks, Hale, Hall, Auck ett, Barrett, Lacey, Parks plus the newly acquired services of Hurley, another returning letterman of the team of two years ago, and sopho mores in the personages of Her man, Grenier and Geraghty are some of the men who will test the mettle of the Oregon five. As we look over the layout which Coach Fox has so carefully planned for the Reinhart reception the only man missing from last year's combination is Drummond, who was the team’s captain. * * * After seeing the Oregon quint in action the last few days, there is a great deal of room for specu lation as to what the road trip holds in the way of possibilities for the victories to adorn the win col umn. Idaho with its two tall centers should be able to get the tip-off without much trouble. Parks stretches out to the six foot-seven mark while the comparatively in experienced Grenier, who is mak ing things hot for Parks in this first year with the varsity, is a mere six-five in his bedroom slip pers. This advantage is almost too great for Cap Roberts and Chuck Wishard, the Oregon pivot men, to battle successfully. Reinhart's charges had plenty of trouble holding down Hale, Auck ett, and Barrett last season, so offhand it seems the Vandals’ chances of beating the visiting ag gregation are decidedly possible. Oregon was anything but im pressive in scrimmage against De Neffe’s five the other night at practice. Jean Eberhart, Scott Milligan, and Cliff Horner, who spend their spare moments toss ing the casaba for the downtown clothing establishment, crossed the Webfoot defense time and again, | and on frequent occasions broke into the clear and ambled unham pered for easy cripple shots. j The session was marked by a lack of spark on the part of the varsity and only the Inland Em pire trip will show whether or not there is any fire in the Oregon attack. * * * Captain Calkins and Hank Lev off, two-stripe men, together with Cap Roberts, one-letter winner, comprise the ohly experienced men on the 1932 machine. The rest of the squad is made up of men who have seen little or no combat in intercollegiate circles. While the possibilities of finishing anywhere near the top in the league are none too promising, Reinhart’s squad is sure to improve greatly during the season. This road trip is very likely to prove rather disastrous for the Webfoots. Oregon will pull the biggest upset in a long time if it is able to wrin even one game from Washington State next week. The Cougars are rated along with Hec Edmundson’s Huskies as the cream of the conference. Our prediction is that Reinhart's crew will drop both tilts to W. S. C. but should break even with Idaho. As far as the contests with Gonzaga are concerned, the Bull dogs are an unknown quantity, but are placed about in the class with Idaho. * * $ Oregon State opens in Seattle against Washington tonight also. Coach Amory T. Gill is suffering the same handicap as js Reinhart in having only a few seasoned per formers around which to build a winning outfit. Ken Fagans, the sensational all-coast guard of last j year, the lanky Ed Lewis, Howard Merrill, and Jerry Thomas are Gill's only veterans. Fagans should have another great year, and if Lewis should shake the in jury jinx which casts its shadow over him so much of the time, the Beavers should cause trouble. * * * Page one Mr. Jonathan A. But-1 ler! The self-styled “czar” of the Pa-i cific Coast conference must be be moaning the fact that Willamette j university is not a member of the | league in which he is a power. The case filed by Harold Mc Kenzie, former Bearcat guard who was chosen on the all-Northwest conference team in 1927, in circuit court here yesterday should be a choice dish for Mr. Butler if he could only get a hand in the deal. McKenzie played on the Oregon normal eleven this fall and at tracted the attention of local fans in the Oregon game by making about half of the tackles which downed the Webfoot ball-carriers. The case should prove interesting as a matter of discussion for those who are leading the fight against the subsidization of athletes, and crusaders of amateurism may be able to secure open confirmation that proselyting is being concealed by athletic officials and college heads. * * * Roy “Spec” Keene, director of the athletic destiny of the Salem school, made a statement to the effect that he vaguely recalled having such a man as McKenzie on this football team. How wonderful must be the glory of noble achievement on the gridiron when three years later the coach has difficulty in remem bering one of his former players who was picked on mythical all star selections. New Psychology Leaflet Just Off University Press Symposium of Experiments by Professor, Student Given Another of the University publi cation pamphlets of the psychology series has just been published by the University press and is ready for release. The contents of this third num ber of the psychology series con cerns the objective measurements of emotion in which a symposium of three experimental papers by Harold R. Crosland, associate pro fessor in psychology, and Lester Beck, graduate student of last year who is at present on a scholarship at Brown university, Providence, Rhode Island, where he is working for his Ph.D. in psychology, is giv en. These pamphlets are published quarterly by the University and the series is offered in exchange for the publications of learned so cieties and institutions, universi ties, and libraries. The various series are grouped under business administration, edu cation, geology, journalism, lan guage and literature, mathematics, physical education, plant biology, psychology, and the humanities series. Error in Emerald Relief Fund Story Omits $3500 Faculty Members To Contribute $10,000 Instead of $0,500 In connection with the story in yesterday morning’s Emerald con cerning the governor’s relief pro gram which will help worthy stu dents on the campus, a correction is to be made about the total sum contributed by the faculty of the University. The story stated that $6,500 j would be contributed by the facul- j ty members but altogether for the j five winter months $10,000 will j make the sum, of which $6,500 will go to the Lane county relief fund and $3,500 to the state. The $250 received by the University for re- j lief on the campus from the gov- ! ernor’s committee was taken from the funds contributed by the facul- . ty here at Oregon. Mrs. Charlotte Donnelly, em ployment secretary, reports that applications are ready for those 1 students who wish to receive work | on University landscaping, for which the money will be princi- j pally used.

W. C. A. winter term study group which will meet each Thursday from 7:30 to 8:30 starting January 14. “We are assuming that mechani zation of industry, universal com munication, the scientific temper of mind, and secularization of life are creating a civilization so dif ferent in many essentials as to make older approaches to it inade quate. We are calling this recent development in methods of physi cal existence the 'New Civiliza tion,' ” said R. B. Porter, secretary of the Y, in explaining the purpose of the series. Faculty To Speak Members of the University fac ulty who are specialists in their fields will present their own per sonal opinions on the position of certain phases of social life. Philip A. Parsons, dean of the school of applied social science, will open the series, according to Donald Saunders, chairman of dis cussion groups. He will talk on the subject, “How Is the New Civi lization Different?” Dean Parsons will also lead a later group on "Re ligion for the New Civilization.” "Economic Organization for the New Civilization” is to be present ed by Jesse H. Bond, professor of business administration, on Jan uary 21. Morality Is Topic Dean Karl W. Onthank will present his views on "The Family and Morality." "Nationalism in the New Civilization” will be taken by Dr. John R. Mez. Harry W. Laidler, national rep resentative of the League for In dustrial Democracy and author of the book, “How America Lives,” will be on the campus February [11, and an effort is being made to secure him for the subject, “Poli tics in the New Civilization,” which is scheduled for that date. Discussions on education and art will complete the series of eight studies. Leaders for these will be announced soon, Saunders said. Work Improves Visibility At Heavy Traffic Corner Trees on University Street Are Being Cut Down Visibility to the east along 13th avenue will be increased for mo torists driving down University street from the south as workmen are cutting down the trees and digging up the high private hedge at that place preparatory to low ering the lot to street level. This job will accomplish a dual purpose, reports George York, su perintendent of buildings and grounds. Besides increasing the safety of traffic, the dirt that is removed in the lowering of the lot will be transferred to the various spots of low ground on the campus that need raising. The majority will probably be used around the Prince L. Campbell Memorial Arts building, he said. Eva Burkhalter To Lead Forum Service Sunday The Sunday evening worship service of the Westminster forum will be led by Eva Burkhalter, whose topic will be “Am I Differ ent Because Christ Lived.” Wor ship service will be led by Theo dore Pursley.
