(Only Pacific Coast confer ence game scheduled.) He’s Coming! Who’s Coming? J. Butler! i -By DICK N'ELBERGEK ■^ELL, boys and girls, who dc ‘ you think is coming to Eu gene ? He's an old friend of yours, Prof. Howe but you wouldn’t guess his identity in a million years, so we'll tell you he's none other than Jona than Butler him self, high com missioner of ath letics in the Paci fic Coast confer ence. This may or may not be welcome news to you, depending entirely upon the frame of mind you're in. Mr. Butler's conspicuous part in the meeting that ruled Joe Liliard ineligible has not endeared him to the University of Oregon, but perhaps he will be received here with more hospitality than one would expect under the cir cumstances. The announcement of Mr. But ler’s trip into the north was made yesterday. The bulletin also de clared that Oregon will not be the only school honored by Mr. But ler's presence. The excursion, which Mr. Butler himself says is for the express purpose of “getting acquainted,’’ will be extended to include every college in the north ern division. * $ :•» Mr. BuFler is a public character by necessity and not choice, so his j trip will be conducted without any I hullabaloo or fanfare. There will' be no public appearances and he! will confer only with those per-1 sons who are connected with the j Pacific Coast conference. Mr. But ler gives all newspapermen as j wide a berth as possible because! his contract specifies that he shall be a party to no official inter-! views. When David W. Hazen of! the Oregonian tried to interview; Mr. Butler in Portland, the com-! missioner at that time said he was not permitted to discuss any con ference business with members of the fourth estate. At least, Mr. Butler’s coming trip will not be conducted as secretly as the one he made early last fall when he had Liliard barred from conference competi tion. On that occasion the com missioner figuratively scurried into Eugene under cover of dark ness, transmitted his business with Professor Herbert Crombie Howe,! Oregon's athletic representative, j and then left as quietly as he had! come. If you’re looking on the hotel registers for Mr. Butler’s name, don’t expect to see the “Jonathan” written out in full. The commis-! sioner always signs himself “J. : Butler.” Perhaps Mr. Butler is not as ferocious as he might seem. He's been in the state of California al rrnnrra WISE-CRACKS WISE TO WISE-GUYS WISE IN Their Wit Will Shock You With Delight!

And the confid e n c e of that one man should be impor tant. He is none Dther than Coach Bill Reinhart. “While Washi ngton State has 3ne of the finest basketball clubs I have ever seen in tne iviortnwest and has a much stronger defensive and scoring team than Oregon,” he said, “I be lieve we have a slim chance to take one or both games Friday and Sat urday nights.” The mental attitude of the Ore gon players this week-end will be the heaviest factor in the final out come, the Webfoot coach stated. Both of the defeats at Washington were the result of a complete let down, he said. Since returning from Seattle the Webfoots have taken things easy. Practice sessions Monday and Tuesday were light, with emphasis on a fast-breaking offense. Two sophomores, Johnny Jeffers, who played here against Washington, and LaGrande Houghton, who has yet to appear in a conference game, were used in the first string lineup last night. Reinhart used several combina tions yesterday trying to find an effective five. One included Jeffers and Robertson at forwards, Rob erts, center, and Calkins and Lev off at the guard posts. In case Houghton is used he will take one of the forward positions. Reinhart also intimated that he might use Homer Stahl at center in place of Cap Roberts, who played mediocre ball in Seattle. The Cougars will bring one of the strongest offensive teams seen in the conference to Eugene this iveek-end. Every man on the team aas proven outstanding during the uost six months already, and Stanford, U. S. C., California and tJ. C. L. A. still have their team personnels intact. However, Mr. Sutler’s regime is not yet ended, tie still has to June in which to serve his allotted year as the Pacific Coast’s first athletic com nissioner. All the dirt will come out when he makes his official re port at the summer meeting of the conference in Los Angeles. The meeting will be held just before the 1932 Olympic games, so the delegates will be able to combine business with pleasure. As usual, Professor H. C. Howe will be Oregon’s faculty representative at the gathering. Hugh E. Kosson, graduate man ager, will take care of the authorizing and completing of the Webfoots’ athletic schedules. The football schedule for 1933 may be arranged tentatively at the forthcoming summer meet ing. This idea was adopted at last year’s session in Portland. s= * * Notice how this fellow Jerry 'Jemer of Southern California has >een hitting the basket lately7 n recent Trojan starts the young nan has gone literally point-crazy, le scored 21 points against Stan ord Friday night and added an dditional 15 the next night. That’s 16 markers in two games. He’s so ar ahead of the other scorers of he southern division they can’t :ven see him with binoculars. In nine games to date, Nemer, vhom they call “Nimble Nemo,” las contributed 105 points to the rrojan cause. He has the remark ible average of more than lie allies a game. His nearest pur uer is Joe Kintana, who has 82 loints, 23 behind the Southern California luminary. Kintana, in turn, is far ahead of ■'renchy Lacombe of Stanford, vho holds third place, with 69 allies. The scoring leaders in the outhern division follow: FG. FT. PTS. vemer, U. S.

Huntly Gordon, six foot five inch center, is the scoring ace of the W. S. C. team. Claude Hol sten, forward, is perhaps the big gest offensive threat, however, and has been rolling up the points in recent games. Art McLarney and Ken Wills, guards, were responsible for the airtight Cougar defense against Oregon State last week. In Billy Cross and Graham, Coach Jack Friel has two dependable altern ates. Doc Robnett, assistant graduate manager, says both games will start at the usual time, 7:30 o'clock. Orangemen Whip Vandal Horde in Clash at Moscow Muscovites Rally To Give Beavers Close Battle; Fagans High UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Feb. 9.—(Special.)—The bas keteers of Oregon State college climbed to within half a game of the second-place University of Washington quintet by vanquish ing Idaho, 31 to 26. The victory gave the Orangemen a clean sweep over the Vandals in the four-game season series. The score at halftime was 21 to 12, but an inspired Idaho rally brought the Vandals to the short end of a 20-22 score. However,. Fagans and Lewis started finding the hoop for the Orangemen and from then on, the game was clear sledding. Three minutes from the end of the clash, the players and audi ence got a half an hour’s rest when the lights in the pavilion went out. Summary: O. S.'

Neither is Kintana nor any of the other basket-making leaders. The honor of being generally acclaimed the outstanding all-around basketeer of the circuit goes to Richard (Dick) Linthicum, captain and forward of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles. Dick Linthicum must be quite a player. Any member of a medi ocre team who achieves basketball distinction without being a top notch scorer has to have plenty of other assets. This is Linthicum’s third and last year at U. C. L. A. For three seasons he was an out standing end on the Bruin football sleven. # * * Incidentally, YVinsor Calkins is still the free-throw champion of the conference. Oregon’s cap tain has 35 tosses from the gift line to his credit. His closest ad versary is the dashing Nemer, with 27 to date.

M. C. A. all-campus ping-pong tour ney. Johnson took the first two games to keep in stride, but King staged a terrific rally, garnering a duet of scores, only to fall before his opponent’s last minute drive. With the playing of this match, complete pairings for the quarter final round were announced by Don Eva, general chairman of the affair. Pingers to meet in the next few days’ encounters are Kjossness vs. Pinkstaff, Apil vs. Philip, Simmons vs. Eva, Kalisky vs. Johnson, and Street bye. All matches must be played off by Thursday night, Eva stated. The field competing for the Co op cup has been narrowed down from 38 original entrants. YMCA Holds First Group Of Fireside Discussions The first of the February fire side forums of the University Y. M. C. A. were held last night in nine men's living organizations. Two more are scheduled for this j evening. Last night Robert H. Seashore talked at Alpha Upsilon, John J. Landsbury at Delta Tau Delta, C. F. Ristow at Friendly hail, John R. Mez at Omega hall, Ralph R. Huestis at Phi Kappa Psi, Samuel H. Jameson at Sigma Alpha Mu, John L. Casteel at Sigma Chi, Nowland B. Zane ab Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Max Adams at Theta Chi. Tonight Max Adams will lead the discussion at Phi Gamma Delta, and Dr. Mez will be at Phi Delta Theta. Houses selected their speakers with a view to getting men who are able to talk on questions of present interest, and subjects that are not ordinarily covered in regu lar work.

The Ducklings will travel to Medford where they will meet Medford high school in a two-game series Friday and Saturday nights. Although little is known of the strength of the southern Oregon team, the frosh should have a hard fight on their hands. The Tigers always have a formidable outfit, and this year broke even in their* annual two-game series with the strong Salem high five. The year lings barely pulled two contests out of the fire from the Salem team, and therefore have respect for any squad which can topple them. Only one more week of practice remains for the frosh after these games. On Feb. 19 and 20 they finish the season with two games with the O. S. C. rooks. The first game will be played at Eugene while the final tilt will be held at Corvallis. EMERALD ... of the A I R “Scientific Research at Oregon" will be the subject of Jame3 Brooke, sophomore in pre-medics, when he speaks during the Emer ald of the Air over station KORE at 4:15 this afternoon.

Prices — lllc i Benson Collapses Before Smashing Washington Drive PORTLAND, Or.*., Feb. 9.— (Special). — The pre - season prognostications of every bas ketball expert in the state were blown to pieces today when Washington high routed Benson Tech, 21 to 17, in a stunning 1’ortlund interscholastic league reversal. Hemmed in on the narrow Colonial court, the Tech men, odds-on favorites to romp through the Oregon state tour nament, were lambasted from pillar to post us the Washing ton lads marched to victory. Another startling result was recorded at Grant, where Lin coln, the other league-leader, was crushed decisively by the Grant Generals, 82 to 20. Still a third upset took place when the lowly Commerce Stenogs, coached by Arvln Burnett, ex Unlversity of Oregon athlete, laced the Franklin Quakers, 27 to 19. The only prep league game that ran true to form was the one in which Jefferson out classed Roosevelt 38 to 16. Rifle Team Manager Says Group Makes Good Scores The average for the ten high men on the University rifle team in the first match of the intercol legiate rifle shoot is 343.7, reports Ira Brown, rifle team manager. Based on the competitive scores of last year this is creditable work and should place the team in or slightly above the middle of the group of 14 colleges and univer sities with which they were Scores made by the other teams Scoresmade by the other teams scheduled have not been received. Championship Volley Clash Is Slated Today Yeomen, Phi Delta Theta To Meet Beta, Kappa Sigma Apple Shovers Topple Before Victors’ Advance TODAY'S VOLLEYBALL Championship Game 4:15 P. M. Yeomen vs. Phi Delt The Yeomen and Phi Delta Theta will battle for the intramur al volleyball championship this af ternoon as a result of their semi finals victories in the playoff con tests yesterday. The independ ents put the Beta squad out of the running, and the Phi Delts de stroyed all Kappa Sig hopes for the title at the same time. In the Yeomen-Beta match, the winners had no great difficulty in sending the mill race squad down to defeat to the tune of 15-7, 15-8 conquest. The Betas could not handle the hard shots the Yeo men repeatedly boomed down on (them from across the net. The vic tors handled the ball fairly well and showed some semblance of team work, which was an unknown quantity as far as the victims were concerned. In the Phi Delt-Kappa Sig con test, which was lyon by the Phi Delt volleyballists, 15-12, 15-12, both games were hard fought, but the superior team work of the con querors counted heavily in the final result. It was a matter of coopera tion versus individual brilliance, and, as usual, the former brought about success. VIH>NAII> TODAY 3 minutes to love . . . . or leave.
