SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 13.—
(Special to the Emerald)—The
University of Oregon basketball
team, looking tired after their hard
conference games of the week-end,
came from behind to beat the Gon
zaga quintet tonight, 33 to 31. Two
last minute field goals gave Ore
gon its margin of victory.
Gonzaga started with a bril
liance that could not be stopped
and ran up 13 points before Ore
gon scored. The Pioneers, with
Levoff and Robertson leading the
attack, evened up the score by the
half.
With Gonzaga leading in the
fourth quarter, Oregon staged a
rally and tied the score at 29-all.
A Gonzaga field goal gave the los
ers a momentary lead but two Ore
gon field goals in quick succession
brought the win.
The game was slow, with plenty
of personal fouls being called. Le
voff, Oregon forward, was high
point man, with 11 points. Robert
son and Roberts starred for the
winners, while Tedlie, Gonzaga
forward, was the outstanding play
er for the losers.

Jefferson To Have Strong
Team in Game With
Frosli Friday
Coach “Prink” Callison will put
the finishing touches on his fresh
man basketball squad tonight in
the final workout preceding the
opening game with Jefferson high
school tomorrow evening at the
Igloo.
The Jefferson team, although it
is not heralded to be equal to the
one which represented the Demo
crats in last year’s hoop season,
is a formidable outfit and should
offer the Frosh plenty of competi
tion. Last year, Gehrke’s squad
won the Portland interscholastic
maple court title, and represented
the Rose city in the state tour
ney.
Only one of last year's regulars,
Phil Penn, is back this season. The
remainder of the squad is made
up of players who, in spite of their
inexperience, are improving rap
idly. The Jefferson squad is ex
pected to give Benson and Lincoln
a hot race for top honors in the
Portland league this year.
This will be the year’s first
game for the yearlings. The Dem
ocrats, however, have played sev
eral pre-season games and are be
ginning to work as a unit.

IN THE PRESS BOX
. With Bruce Hamby-=
ONDER what hap
pened up there in
Pullman Tuesday
night when Oregon
upset the highly
touted Cougars, 42
to 29? Bill Rein
hart must have hit upon a com
bination that clicked. Anyhow,
the Webfeet will be home today,
at the top of the league with a
500 per cent standing. True, all
the rest of the northern division
teams have the same, but Oregon
has played twice as many games.
This is enough reason to put them
at the top of the list.
The coming two-game series
with Idaho next Monday and Tues
day nights should pack them in.
A couple of victories here would
mean that Oregon must be rated
as a title contender. Looking at
the matter in cold blood, however,
it must be admitted that two
Washington teams appear to be
better equipped to face the rigors
of a sixteen game season. Their
men are larger and there are more
of them. Washington State has
three men who are of all-star cal
iber—Holsten, McLarney and Gor
don. Washington has four mem
bers of last year’s coast champion
ship team back.
But with Jack Robertson, Windy
Calkins and Cap Roberts appar
ently getting into stride, Rein
hart’s outfit may prove to be a
great stumbling block in the title
race. For the first time this sea
son Robertson, sophomore forward,
played the ball of which he is real
ly capable. In pre-season games
he looked like a “million.” His
first conference competition may
have caused him to have the usual
bugaboo of all sophomores—stage
fright. Calkins is one of the most
dependable men on the squad. And
Cap Roberts showed that he can
take care of himself against any
center in the league. Reports from
Pullman stated that he blocked the
taller Gordon out on three-fourths
of the rebound plays.
Whoops! Dean James H. Gil
bert to the fore with a new nick
name for Oregon athletic teams.
And not a bad one, either! “Trap
pers” is the moniker suggested by
Dean Gilbert as a suitable change
from Webfeet. And he has some
logical reasons to back up his
name, that even Dick Neuberger
couldn't beat. Reading from his
letter to the Emerald last night:
“In the first place the trappers
were the pioneers of pioneers.
Their explorations and their ex
ploits long antedated the covered
wagon. For generations they alone
held sway in this Oregon territory.
They endured untold hardships,

they showed dash and courage,
fortitude and almost unbelievable
hardihood . . .
“Peculiar aptness inheres the
phrase “Trappers” because of the
names so frequently attached to
our opponents in athletic contests.
Call the roll of the menagerie—
grizzlies, cougars, bears, bruins,
and last, but not least, beavers.
If the prowess of Doc Spears’ men
keeps on increasing they will be
able to trap, skin and otherwise
exterminate the miscellaneous
fauna of the Pacific coast region
and hang up the well-dried peltries
in the Igloo. Moreover the special
prey of the early Oregon trappers
was the beaver and the signifi
cance of this relationship needs no
further comment. If they call us
“high hats” it would be a beaver
addressing its remains.
“May I also add that these hardy
Oregon trappers might ultimately
overcome the Trojans even with
out stopping to fabricate a wooden
horse. They were just that re
sourceful.”
Dean Gilbert goes on to suggest
the wonderful alliterative treat
ment that could be given the title
“Trappers.” Just roll a few of
these on your tongue: “Triumphant
Trappers,” “Tricky Trappers,”
“Trusty Trappers.” And the head
lines! “Oregon Traps Cougars,” or
“Jaws Fasten on Beavers’ legs.”
And he closes with: “Away with
Webfoot with its slimy associa
tions! Hit the high trail with the
Trappers!”

Horray for Dean Gilbert! Why
don't some of those who like to sit
back and criticize the backers of
“Pioneers” offer a few good sug
gestions ? Stealing a bit from
“Lemon Palooka,” “Twenty-seven
cents to the winnah.”

Evolution of Calendar Is
Subject for New Course
Prof. Frederic S. Dunn is offer
ing a new course in the Latin de
partment, suggested by the needs
of some graduate students and duly
sponsored by the dean of the col
lege.
The cause is based upon Ovid’s
Fasti and involves a discussion of
Roman festivals upon which oui
own modern fast-days are based;
a study of the calendar as evolved
from ancient days; the origin of
our months, weeks, and days; and
latterly the 13-month year, as now
inevitable. In other words it is a
‘'timely” topic, delivered through
the medium of an Augstan poet.
The class will meet at 11 o’clock
on Tuesdays and Thursdays in
Oregon hall.
