Football. ■-By DICK NEUBERGEIi J^OC SPEARS isn't the onl; coach not satisfied with th< changes in the football rules. Prac tically every oth e r outstanding mentor in the na tion thinks the additions made recently at Han over, N. H., are just so much ex c e s s baggage. About the only individuals who seem to be per fectly contented Doc Spears with the changes are the rules committee members who made them. All the committeemen in general, and Chairman E. K. Hall in particular, have been endorsing their own efforts ever since they were announced early this week. But the coaches, as a whole, are as displeased as the rules commit tee is pleased. For the past three days, the Associated and United Press services have carried stories from various parts of the United States, expressing the dissatisfac tion of America's leading expon ents of the game. The first story came from Notre Dame, citadel of football. It said Heartly Anderson, successor to the late great Knute Kockne, thought the new rules were detrimental in that they would lessen the value of small players. Although It Is difficult to rec collect any small men playing on Mr. Anderson’s team last au tumn, his opinion merely pre sents another side of the situa tion, Then Doc Spears said he thought rigid enforcement of the present code was more necessary than new rules, and emphasized the need for clarification of the additional regulations. Following these outbursts, criticisms from practically every noteworthy coach in the nation began to crowd the wires. Pop Warner at Stanford, Navy Bill Ingram at California, Slip Madi gan at St. Mary’s and Clipper Smith at Santa Clara added their voices to the hue and cry. From the middle west came loud and lusty complaints from Dick Han ley at Northwestern, Glenn This tlewaite at Wisconsin and Ike Armstrong at the University of Utah. * * * About the only coach who en dorsed the new rules, and even he made several minor objections to ! them, was Paul Schissler at Ore- I gon State college. He virtually stands alone in his belief on the j subject. * * * It is characteristic that coaches should look upon any changes with disfavor, for whatever additions are made to the rules are further restrictions upon them. But the criticism thrown at the Hanover : changes has been so widespread there must be something to it. Per- 1 haps in later years the additions may come to be known as the “Hanover mistakes.” Not one single enthusiast nor coach favors the rule requiring more additional padding. They think the additional protecting TOMOKKOW \GDcl(yi£sL [[^On the Stage— ’ COLLEGE NIGHT with ABBIE GREEN V Min turn Loses !

As long as the battlers struggled ; around on their feet Johnson's j superiority was not evident, but i the instant they crashed to the ! mat like a pair of baby tanks the j burly Marshfield boy was all over | Minturn, securing his first fall in ! less than two minutes and his sec j ond in less than a minute. Kelliher Flashes Action Doc Kelliher also gave the fans a flash of action in a rather tire some series of bouts when he an i nexed two straight falls over Walt | McCaffery. The lighter man j struggled gamely but his experi ence didn’t balance Kelliher’s muscle. Among the heavyweights Howard Lewis leisurely flopped Walt Gray, while Howard Clark proved too good for Jimmy Gemlo. Gemlo, outweighed 25 pounds, forced the grappling throughout but lacked Clark’s skill and ex perience. The first four tussles resembled a reunion of disabled veterans rather than a college wrestling tournament. After John Rutten cutter and Glen Bechtold had mixed on even terms for the two regular periods and one extra round, Ruttencutter was rendered hors de combat by a bad cramp in his left leg. Coming back re freshed he proceeded to take the match. Campbell Gets Hurt In the welterweight clash be tween Kermit Campbell and Charles Martin the former had a slight lead when he injured a blood vessel in his eye, and Referee Boushey was forced to award the fight to Martin. Pow erful Bob Nunn threw his shoul ders out of place, but managed to come back and pin Lloyd Ruff for two straight. Nunn gained the middleweight finals with this victory. John Sieverkropp had the mis fortune to crack a rib after toss ing Norman Burke, and was forced to concede the match after Burke had evened the count in the second round. The featherweights put on a snappy exhibition, Burke’s speed and strength nearly equalling the technique displayed by the more experienced Siever kropp. surfaces not only will slow up the players considerably, but also will make their movements more dif ficult and laborious. Before we know it, the rules committee will be demanding that the football men wear armor and carry shields, and the next Notre Dame-U. S. C. game will look like one of King Arthur's tilting tournaments at legendary Camelot. * * * Well, well, well, the Oregon HEI11G NOW! r Stars of I “The i Front Page” in Another Great Picture! w FINAL EDITION with PAT O’BRIEN MAE CLARKE ADDED Bosco Cartoon Grantland Rice SportligUt Spears Calls for Upperclassmen Because of the exceptionally fine weather conditions, Dr. Clar ! ence W. Spears, head football coach, yesterday issued a call for all upper-classmen who are candidates for the 1932 varsity squad. It is not compulsory to turn out, Doc Spears explained, but all sophomores, ."juniors and seniors planning to contest for positions would do well to join the group of 35 freshmen who began outdoor practice last night. Suits will be issued at McArthur court to all men who turn out. The lime is 3:30 as usual. The freshmen spent 1 last night going through plays and drilling in fundamentals.

It was quite a pull to get back there, but the Web foots finally did it. Their dou ble victory over Washington State helped bring about the sit uation. Then Washington State turned around and became an al ly of its erstwhile conquerors by thumping Oregon State twice. Oregon and Oregon State each has won six and lost seven games. In the remaining three encounters, the Webfoots and Orangemen will battle it out for third place in the race. Wash ington and Washington State al ready have virtually ellnched the number one and two posts. At present the Cougars are slightly ahead of the Huskies, having lost only three games to their adversaries four. However, Washington and Wash ington State have yet to meet in their final two-game series. Ey winning only one game from the Cougars in what should be a ter rifically hot series, the Huskies can throw the race into a tie. Washington State won twice when the two teams met before at Pull man, 24 to 23, and 49 to 22. * * si: Jerry Nemer, the lad who does n’t miss, still is going point-crazy down south. The Southern Cali fornia forward scored 12 points against U. C. L. A. Saturday night to run his season’s total to 120. His average to date is exactly a dozen points a game. He and Dick Linthicum of U. C. L. A. are the foremost players in the lower end of the southern division. Joe Kint ana and Dick Heed of California look like the class of the Bay city region. * * * Press dispatches from the south bring the news that Pop Warner will bring forth a double spinner this coming football season. Jay Sehorn, Oregon's leading authority on goings-on at Stanford, says it ought to bring a touchdown every time. * * * Among the spectators at the second Oregon State-Washington State baskettia 11 game at Corval lis was Babe Hollingbery, the well - dressed Cougar football coach, who stopped by on his way north from San Francisco.

First Showing in Eugene Geology Students Urged To Attend Faculty Picture Smiths’ Talk on South America Postponed to Loiter Day All students in geology, geogra phy or allied courses are particu larly urged by Dr. Warren D. Smith to see the faculty club pic tures at the Colonial this after noon. Dr. Smith, who is head of the department of geology, saw the shows, “Pompeii'’ and “Lost Gods" at a special preview yester day afternoon, and declared that both of them are highly interesting and authentic. “Pompeii” is but a single reel, but it graphically de picts the ancient city. “Lost Gods,” the feature picture, is the record of an expedition into the ancient civilizations of Carthage, Utica and other regions of northern Af rica. A travelogue on South America, in which Dr. Smith was scheduled to show motion pictures and give a descriptive talk, has been post poned from the showing today un til later. In place of this part of the program “Singing Waters,” a scenic motion picture made in Ore gon, and a special picture of skiing in the Alps will be shown. Schissler exchanged greetings at the game. Babe is going to have quite a team this autumn. Of course he loses three great lines men in big Turk Edwards, Jack Parodi and George Hurley. But there will be Mentor Dahlen, George Sander, Stanley Colburn and all the other dashing back field lads back again, to say nothing of a most of fine fresh man material, among which is George Theodoratos, the cele brated 325-pound fullback from California. * * * Babe made a good showing last year, considering his eleven was not expected to show much. Mon tana, U. C. L. A., Idaho and Ore gon State were defeated in the Coast conference, and the Cou gars gave Tulane’s southern cham pions and California’s Golden Bears some Mvage opposition be fore they finally succumbed. In the Oregon State game at Portland, Babe let the Beavers pack the ball all over Multnomah field, but when it came to scoring the Cougars held the upper hand. Sanders’ sensational 40-yard pass that Dahlen caught on the dead run for a touchdown decided the game, 7 to 6, in favor of Babe's team. Oregon State rolled up enough yardage to have gone from Portland to China, but couldn't move out of its tracks when it got down to the W. S. C. five-yard line. The old punch wasn't there. Hermian Seminar To Hear Taylor Lecture Tuesday Discussion of Personality, Teaching To Precede Informal Talk Dr. Howard R. Taylor, profes sor of psychology, will speak at the Hermian winter term seminar Tuesday, February 23, at 3:00 p. m. in Alumni hall. Doctor Taylor will take for his subjects personality and teaching, and will conduct an informal dis cussion. All the members of the wom en's physical education faculty and all P. E. majors and minors are invited, according to Vivian Coss, president of Hermian. O.SC and Oregon Sigma Xi Units Have Joint Meeting A joint meeting of the Oregon State college and University of Oregon chapters of Sigma Xi, na tional scientific fraternity, was held last evening in Dcady hall. The meeting, which is an annual exchange gathering, was pre ceded by a dinner for the visiting members at the Anchorage at 6:10. | At the meeting Professor K. C. Starr of Corvallis presented a i paper on “Radio Interference,’’ and Professor S. M. Zeller, also a visitmg member, diucusuccl “Virus Disease^ of Plants.'' OSC, Oregon Primed for Final Frays Reinhart Shades Beavers Slight Edge Cougar Victories Hearten Webfeet for Orange Clash Saturday By BRUCE HAMBY Third place in the Northern di vision standings for either Oregon or Oregon State will be the incen ___^nilive for Bill Reinhart and “ Slats ” Gill in the three remain ing games be tween the Web foots and the Beavers. The two teams meet Sat urday night at Corvallis in the first of the con tests to determine the honor of finishing behind W. S. C. and Washington. One team or the other must come out ahead in the standings. Both are tied at present with six victories and seven defeats. Ore gon State’s two defeats at the hands of the desperate W. S. C. Cougars this week put it back on a level with Oregon. Beavers Slight Favorites Despite the results of the games with Washington State, Coach Reinhart holds the Beavers to be the favorites. With Ken Fagans and Everett Davis back in the Beaver lineup Saturday night, Oregon State will be a vastly im proved team over the one that lost to W. S. C., he believes. Oregon will be handicapped by the injury of Windy Calkins, who is still bothered with a weak ankle. He was hurt just before the end of the final Washington State game when he was fouled by Art McLarney. He will be in the starting lineup, Reinhart stated, but could not possibly play in top shape. Fagans Back In For the last two weeks Oregon State has been forced to play with a patched lineup. First Davis hurt his shoulder and was re placed by Skeet O’Connell. Then Ken Fagans was taken to the hospital in Corvallis with influ enza. He played part of the sec ond period against Washington State Tuesday night but was taken back to the hospital imme diately after the game. Reinhart plans to use the same lineup against Oregon State Sat urday night as started both the Cougar games here. Jack Robert son and Jim Watts, forwards; Cap Roberts, center; and Hank Levoff and Captain Calkins, guards, will be the five starters. Cliff Potter, Johnny Jeffers, Gib Olinger and Homer Stahl and Ike Donin have been working with the regulars and may get in Satur day. The final games between the two state schools will be played Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27. The first encounter will be played at McArthur court and the final game at Corvallis.

Another record by the famous two-piano learn and their orches tra, and a good one. The first one is very popular now, and this band does it in a snappy manner which fits in well with the nature of the piece. This is one of the most live ly dance tunes of the month. 'The other side of the record is in 6-8 march time, as you know from hearing it over the radio, and so is difficult to dance to. The orchestral arrangement of this number is clever, however.

Kjosness Reigns as King Of Celluloid Apple Swatters Amid a barrage of terrif drives and smashes, Ingram Kjosness, lanky Yeoman ace, left no doubt as to his superiority in another field, when he captured the all campus YMCA ping-pong crown yesterday. Kjosness whipped the two co finalists in the tourney into sub mission by the identical game of six games to four. He hardly stopped for a breathing spell be tween the two matches. Kjosness first met Julian Apil, diminutive Filipino ace, and then rounded off the day by trouncing Don Eva, campus leader in ping pong circles, and manager of the tourney. Apil was taken in stride, but put up a stout battle in the final games of the match. Kjosness swept into a three-game lead in the opening minutes of the match, but then the Filipino’s heavy artillery came into use to bring him up to the short end of a three-four count. From then on Kjosness experienced little difficulty. Resting a few minutes, he waded into the final match with Eva. Here he encountered somewhat stiffer resistance but kept a com manding lead throughout. The tournament had been in progress for several weeks and the field had been narrowed down from 38 original competitors to the three finalists. Kjosness’ victory also wins for him the Co-op trophy offered each year to the outstanding ping-pong player on the campus. Action has recently been taken by the YMCA cabinet to consider arranging for a permanent program for the meet. Yeomen Top List In Donut Sports Activity Markers Intramural Release Gives Betas Second Ranking; ATO Places Third The Yeomen hold a commanding lead over the other organizations on the campus in the amount of points they have harvested in the intramural tournaments. They have taken four of the five donut tourneys that have been run off this school year and were runner up in the event they lost. Their total crop consists of-463 counters, while the Betas are second but have 144 points less than the lead ers for a tabulation of 319. Alpha Tau Omega follows the mill race squad with 291. Phi Delta Theta is fourth on the list with 280, while fifth position is in the hands of Sigma Chi with 254. The rest of the aggregations have gradually decreasing amounts down to the lowest score, a dubious honor which devolves upon International house, which possesses 35 points. Friendly hall is ahead of all the other dormitory units with a count of 190, with Sherry Ross hall following right behind with 175. Sigma hall forms the founda tion of the dorm list with 92.

S. C!., California in Tie LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17. (Spe cial ) The only squad which has been able to take a series from Southern California’s basketball squad in the past two years will attempt to duplicate its 1931 role as “makers of cjiampjons” here Saturday night when Coach Caddy, Works’ Bruins meet their cross town rivals in what may prove to be the deciding game in the cur rent race for the southern division basketball championship. By turning in a breath-taking 26-24 victory last Saturday night, the Bruins won the deciding game in the local city series and in ad dition threw the Trojans into a tie with University of California, each of which has won seven games and lost three to date. With { California virtually assurred of a win over the crippled Stanford squad this week-end, the Trojans | must take their concluding contest from the Bruins or see their cham pionship hopes blasted for the sec ond consecutive year. Providing both Southern Cali fornia and California win Satur day, tlie two will meet in one game to decide the southern division representative in the Pacific coast conference series, which will be held on the home court of the win ning southern division team. Butler To Give Annual Report On July 30, 31 Howe Receives Tidings Of Pasadena Session Summer Conference Meet Scheduled for City In California Professor Herbert C. Howe, Ore gon faculty representative in the Pacific Coast conference, today received word that Commissioner Prof. Howe Jonathan Butler probably would present his first annual athletic report on July 30 and 31 at the an nual summer ses sion of the con ference in Pasa dena. The mes sage was from W. B. Owens of Leland Stanford university, presi dent or the conference. Owens’ message also said that the regular meeting probably would be held prior to the reading of Butler’s report. Inasmuch as the commissioner was hired for one year only, the presentation of the report will terminate his ser vice as the conference's first ath letic commissioner. Professor Howe also received notice of a new ruling by the American Amateur Athletic asso ciation forbidding athletes to take in any motion picture for which they received remuneration, or in any picture advertised by the ex ploitation of their names. Because the conference generally acts in accordance with the A. A. U. rul ings, Howe said this probably would be discussed at the coming meeting. Several other important meet ings will be held in Pasadena and Los Angeles at the same time as the conference session, Howe said. The National Football Coaches’ association will gather, and the Olympic Games board of regents also will meet. The con ference conclave will precede by only a few days the start of the 1932 Olympic Games. Hugh E. Rosson, graduate man ager, and Professor Howe will bo Oregon's official representatives at the meeting. gi!iiwiiiiHiiimiii!Miji[iHin!iHiii:n!ii!m!imiiiiiB;!!iiBi:i!niiimiiimit;HiiiinttyiBiiiimii!Hti!iHiiiiiBiiiiiBi!iiiHiiiu Stafford’s Ink CLOSE OUT SALE 5C PER BOTTLE University Pharmacy 11 Ui and Alder Formal Sandals ** GAN SET « in White haille Cloth $5.00 Can Be Dyed Any Color McDONALD THEATRE BLDG-1032 Willamette ...-i. l- j.ja—•=g=aBg^=c=aa^B»a
