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.

Yearlings in Hard Fight
For Positions on
Hoop Squad
With the first scheduled game
only a week hence, Coach “Prink"
Callison is experimenting to find a
winning combination for his frosh
basketball five. 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.

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.

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.

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.

To Be Discussed
YM Study Group Arranges
Series of Analytical
Problem Talks
Patterns of social behavior and
the lag of their development in re
lation to the progress of physical
science and economic organization
are to be discussed in the Y. 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. Ralph Coie will sing
Preceding the 6:30 service there
will be a social hour and ref-e^h
ments at 6 o’clock. At 7:30 the
group will take part in a special
candlelight service at the Central
Presbyterian church.
