The New Rules.
Nobody Likes 'EM.
W.S.C. 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

Johnson Wins Handih
In Heavy Finals
—
Kelliher, Lewis, Burke Are
Victorious in Torrid
Mat Sessions
By ED UOODNOUGH
Chuck Johnson, pride and joy
! of the Coos Bay country, came
I through with flying colors in his
match with George Minturn to
j enter the light-heavyweight finals
i of the ail-campus wrestling tour
j nament.
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.

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.

lads arc tied with Oregon State
college in the basketball stand
ings at last. 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.

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

look like the class of the Bay city
region.

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.

Third place in the Northern di

or Oregon State will be the incen

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.

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.

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

Phi Delta Theta is fourth on the

a dubious honor which devolves
upon International house, which
possesses 35 points.

Bruins To Battle Trojans
In Critical Hoop Struggle
Uclan Last-Minute Victory Throws
U. 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.
