Women’s Athletic association met
in a 10-hour session at the home
of Dean Hazel Prutsman Schwer
ing.
y The conference began at 9 a. m.
and continued, with several inter
missions, until 7 p. m. It was
called by Ann Baum, A. W. S.

ganizations, eliminating possible
overlappings of activities, and ac
quainting those in each group with
the work of the others.
Recommendations Made
Among the recommendations
made by the group, most of which,
it is predicted, will be put into
the form of working regulations,
include the following:
1. All meetings of the three or
ganizations to be scheduled at the
A. W. S. office to avoid conflicts.
Complete schedules of plans of the
organizations to be in the dean
of women's office. Term and year
programs of each organization to
be exchanged.
2. Attempt to be made to elim
inate over-organization, through
avoidance of; duplication in per
sonnel of organizations, through
making appointments to develop
new girls, through limitation cf
freshmen activities.
3. Cooperation of other organi
zations to be secured in sponsor
ing Peter’s lodge.
4. Understanding of purpose and
program of W. A. A. to be fur
thered by women of other organi
zations.
5. Activity chairman to be add
ed to A. W. S. council to take care
of women’s activities.
6. Freshmen girls to name girls
they would recommend as Big Sis ■
ters for next year.
7. Addition of course in practi
cal home economics and home
management to be requested.
8. Possibility of having advisers
available for consultation at end
of term to be investigated.
9. Conference to become annual
event, scheduled for beginning of
fall term, and to cover an entire
week-end.
The program for the day was
divided into four meetings. The

MATINEE SATURDAY ALL SEATS 50c
IN THE PRESS BOX
—With Bruce Hamby .-..
The gloom of yesterday’s snow
has nothing on Bill Hayward. Not
j that Bill is inclined to be of a
gloomy nature, but just bring up
the matter of next spring's track
prospects and furrows appear in
his brow.
j While track and next spring may
seem to be distant subjects, Bill
1 has asked for all varsity and fresh
man track and field candidates to
report for a meeting at the Igloo
Thursday afternoon, and states
that he hopes to get started on in
door work immediately.
“Just what are Oregon's chanc
es next spring? Well, what would
you imagine, with Ralph Hill, Ed
Moeller, Bobby Robinson, Don
Maultby, Don Siegmund, Bob Ev
i erts, Len Steele, and Bun Stadel
i man all gone ? Why, there are be
tween 20 and 30 points in any
man s track meet. Of course,
there are eleven lettermen coming
back from last year’s squad, but
practically nothing from the fresh
men.”
The returning lettermen will be
Paul Starr and Paul Bale, in the
sprints; Tom Moran, half-mile;
Bob Hall, mile; Hubert Allen,
broad jump and A1 Edwards, jav
elin; Art Holman, either the half
mile or hurdles; and Johnny Marrs,
Red Rollwage and Chuck Dolloff,
quarter-milers. From last year's
freshman team, Bill says the most
promising are Mason McCoy, hur
dles; A1 Hakanson, shotput; and
Con Fury, discu3. Others who are
something of an unknown quantity
right, now, but may develop into
point winners are Bob Voegtly,
pole-vaulter, and Bob Downey,
miler.
Oregon will participate in five
meets this spring. First comes '
the annual dual relay meet with
Oregon State, to be held in Eu
gene; the dual track and field
meets with Idaho, at Moscow;
Oregon State at Corvallis, and
Washington at Eugene. The North
west conference meet will be held
at the University of Montana, in
Missoula.
Most of you probably remember
Jean Eberhart. He was the tall
young man who played center on
Oregon’s 1930 basketball team.
Swift and rangy, he was the type
of basketeer the Webfoots need so
badly this season. Basketball
coaching is Jean's specialty now.
He’s in charge at University high.
This is his second year there. In
his first season, he failed to reach i
the state tournament as district
representative only because little
Pleasant Hill, the backwoods ham
let that isn’t even on the map, had
such a sensational outfit. <
But this year it looks as if Jean
is going to take his boys to the
tournament. He has a veteran 1
team. All the boys are tall and
fast. They practiced with the Ore- !
gon freshmen on McArthur court i
yesterday and there was little to (
choose between the two teams. A
few days ago University high de- ■
cisively whipped Jefferson high,
defending Portland high school
champion, and the quintet that
opens against the freshmen here ■
Friday night. i
With all due respect to Univer- 1
sity high, however, it is doubtful i
if it would have the shadow of a 1
chance against another high school i
team also coached by an Oregon <
graduate. This team is Benson i
Polytechnic school of Portland. The i
leader of the Techmen is Howard ]
(Hobby) Hobs'on, Oregon captain i
in 1926. There are not many hen
who remember Hobby Hobson, bu
Bill Reinhart won't forget him fo:
a long time. The Oregon coacl
says Hobby was his most brillian
pupil.
The majority of the state's ex
perts and critics agree that Ben
son has the best high school bas
ketball five ever organized in th<
Northwest. It has been sweeping
through all opposition like a squad
ron of cavalry. Reed college, sc
good, that it beat Commerce, 26
to 10, was mauled by the Orange
men, 53 to 12. Vancouver was
vanquished, 49 to 20; other scores
were even more one-sided. Salem
and Astoria, both of which have
veteran teams that beat Benson
at the state tournament last year,
also were engulfed as Hobson's
men warmed up for the champion
ship race.
Benson already has been con
ceded the Portland championship.
Few experts think any prep team
in the state can halt Hobson's
quintet. This invincible attack
centers about a young Indian lad,
Clifford (Chief) McLean. He's as
sensational on the basketball court
is Bobby Grayson was on the grid
iron. Barney Woldt has no peer
is a high school center. Captain
William Courtney ana Morrie Hel
per are the guards. Bill Patterson
is McLean's running mate. There
ire 20 men on the squad. Hobson
sriginally had 300 lads out for the
team.
If you want to see Benson play,
you only have to go 40 miles Sat
urday afternoon to watch them
larrass the best rook team Oregon
State has had in years. Hobson’s
outfit once had a contest sched
lled with the Oregon freshmen, but
:t was cancelled. That’s too bad.
Y lot of people here would like to
?ee just how good this Benson
:eam really is.

ATO vs. SPT
The Yeomen and Friendly hall
handball squads checked in with
victory in the intramural handball
tournament yesterday. The Yeo
men trounced the Fiji aggrega
tion, three matches to none. The
hall handballists humbled the Pi
Kaps in two out of three matches.
In the Yeomen-Fiji onslaught,
Sol Schneider of the Yeomen had
little trouble in disposing of Mil
lard Schmeer by a score of 21-10,
21-13. In the other solo tilt, George
Stager of the victorious team
blasted Lee Chester off the court
to win, 21-1, 21-3. In the doubles,
A1 Schneider and Paul Hughes,
Yeoman stalwarts, defeated J. An
derson and Graham West, 21-17,
21-7.
In the Friendly hall-Pi Kap con
tests, Louis Yturri of the hall
slugged the ball all over the court
to emerge victorious easily over
Villard Kiel to the tune of 21-3,
21-5. John Yerkovich scored the
only Pi Kap success when he
showed his superiority over Walt
Johnson, 21-8, 21-11. The Friendly
hall doubles pair, Howard Minturn
and Meredith Sheets, got a mo
mentary scare in the second set but
ran it out in easy fashion to cap
ture the match from Floyd Dor
ris and George Niemi to chalk up
I a victory by a count of 21-3, 21-8.
STUDENT MUSICALE TO
FEATURE TENOR ARTIST
(Continued from Page One)
They were “Comfort Ye,’’ and the
air “Every Valley.”
Lemke followed with a Bach
i “Prelude and Fuge in F Minor,”
and the Andante and Scherzo
movements from the "Pastorale
Sonata” by Beethoven. The aud
j ience was amazed at his accuracy
and depth of feeling. Bach at his
simplest is difficult to interpret,
but Carl Lemke handled it with
finesse and delicacy.
Spittle’s second group consisted
of foreign compositions: "Bois
Epis,” by Lully, and the well
known “Still Wie Die Nacht.”
Lemke’s second and final group
consisted of “Mazurka” and “Hu
moresque” by Tchaikowsky, “Lo
tus Land,” by Cyril Scott, and the
ballet music from “Rosamunde” by
Schubert. In this group the high
spot of the program was reached.
Lemke, although he played all four
selections in a very accurate and
understanding manner, attained
peak of his interpretations in Cyril
Scott’s "Lotus Land.”
Spittle’s final group, and the
concluding numbers of the pro
gram, were Clay’s “I'll Sing Thee
Songs of Araby,” Stanford’s “My
Love’s an Arbutus,” and “Drink to
Me Only With Thine Eyes.”

had difficulty with management
and discipline, especially with
those who didn’t want to go to
school and would just simply loaf.”
Dean Sheldon also felt that such
; a plan would induce students to
' prepare for occupations for which
they were unfitted, and that,
though it might be a temporary re
lief, it would make a worse situa
! tion later on.
“The situation would be some
thing like the one we had during
war time,” M. H. Douglass, Uni
versity librarian, said, “when the
Student Army Training corps was
paid to go to school. They were
quartered in barracks on the cam
pus and were not allowed to go out
side certain limits without permits.
Their attitude toward their stud
ies was even worse than that of
the average college student!”
Catherine Mason, sophomore in
English, expressed a more favor
able opinion. "It means a great
deal to a nation to have its citizens
trained. If they can't afford to gc
to school, it certainly would be
worth paying them to do so. And
it would mean opening up a lot of
jobs for people with families.”
Whether taking 7,000,000 chil
dren and young people out of their
jobs would give place to 7,000,000
adults who are unemployed was
doubted by Victor P. Morris, of the
department of economics. “But I’ll
admit,” he added, “that it would
be better than some of the ways
in which money is being wastefully
spent on the unemployed now.”

From a field of five men the

Jack Dant, 1931 senior football

Debaters Prove
Lively Hosts at
Movies of Tour
Travels, Experiences Told
To Augment Scenes
Of Journey
Romance, religion, nature, poli
tics dashed with humor, and clevec
interpretations were presented in
pictorial form yesterday at the Co
lonial theatre when the Pacific
Basin debaters showed pictures of
their 35,000-mile good-will tou**
through Tahiti, New Zealand, Aus
tralia, India, China, Japan, and
Hawaii.
There was a touch of the pro
fessional in the presentation whicn
was just a bit surprising. The
pictures were small, but were clear
and well-chosen. On the screen
were pictures of scenery, of na
tives, of architecture and art, of
religious ceremonies and quaint
customs of the Orient, of war
spirit in China, and of wild life in
Australia.
Wilson Conducts Tour
Dave Wilson was tour conductor
for the first lap of the journey
upon which he took his audiences.
Pfaff took up the interpretative
job and conducted his audiences
through India, and Miller brought
them home through China, Japan
and Hawaii. The “talkie” arrange
ment was excellently carried out.
Music accompanying the pic
tures was appropriate, and sound
effects and lighting added some of
the professional touches. The feel
ing of personal interest which the
audience felt in the travelogue wa3
heightened by the fact that the
pictures showed many scenes in
which the debaters themselves
were actors.
Many Unusual Scenes
Particularly interesting bits of
the program were the pictures of
oriental religious customs and
rites in India, scenes depicting the
festival of Buddhists in Ceylon,
Hawaiian natives, and Japanese
war maneuvers. Among the mys
terious and haunting scenes were
those of temple beggars in India,
and burning of the dead Hindus
ilong the Ganges.
The audience left the program
with a feeling that they had a
quick and economical trip through
the Pacific Basin countries with
clever and interesting guides.
