What a Team! Erny Left Off. Will Albie Play? -By DICK NEUBERGER_ JMAGINE, if you will, a football team consisting entirely of the pick of the Southern California, Stanford and Cal ifornia squads. Picture Garrett Arbelbide and Phil Neill at op posite ends, Bob Bartlett and Chuck Ehrhorn at the tackles, goal - thumping Johnny Baker ana Pete Heiser Howard Jones at the guards, Stanley Williamson and Frank Me danich as alternate centers, and a backfield composed of Gaius Sha ver, slippery Phil Moffatt, Rusty Gill and Harry Hillman. What a team that would be! Now that you’re all through imagining such a fantastic ar rangement, here’s the dope. The football team presented above will meet a picked outfit from Harvard, Yale and Princeton at the 10th Olympic games in Los Angeles this summer. The game will be played the night of August 8 as the feature event of the long awaited track classic among the nations of the world. More than 110,000 persons are expected to see the encounter. S * ■■}: From the looks of the Cali fornia lineup, the lads from the “Bifr Three” literally are coming ing westward to stick their heads in the lion’s mouth. However, such is not the ease. Harvard and Yale were no slouehes them selves on the gridiron last an- i tumn, and probably will be able to organize a pretty formidable squad between them. I’rineeton, lambasted about from pillar to post, is not expected to make any material contribution to the eastern team. The Tigers were included in the list more for dip lomatic reasons than anything else, for, after all, Yale and Harvard cannot be called the elite of America’s colleges with out Princeton’s horning in some where. Hut to get back to the sub ject, Old Eli and the Crimson will be able to band together j such noteworthy players as W. | Barry Wood Jr., Herster Barres, ' Ed Lassiter and possibly Albie I Booth, Yale’s little Boy Blue. Albie was released only recently j from a New England sanitorium, ; where he was treated for pleur isy. His ailment will keep him from active participation in base- j ball this spring, but he hopes to j be in shape to play in the Rose Bowl classic this summer. His presence wouldn’t hurt the crowd in the least, a fact of which Olympic game officials are well aware.

Start ing time at 7:30 o'clock as usual. Oregon’s Track Prospects Not Bright for ’32 Season Hayward Has Hard Task To }IouUl Squad Out of Returning Men By MALCOLM BAUER Oregon's outlook for a powerful track and field squad this spring is not a bright one. With six of last year's stars lost by gradua tion and little new material from the 1931 f r o s h squad, Coach Bill Hay ward is having a hard time mould ing a formidable squad out of the Bill Hayward flock of aspir ints working out daily at Hay ward field. No men as yet have been found vho can successfully fill the places eft vacant by Ralph Hill, sensa tional miler; Bobby Robinson, the Northwest and Canadian pole mult champion; and big Ed Moel er, one time holder of the world'3 ecord in the discus throw. Other nen who finished their third year >f competition for Oregon last 'ear and are therefore ineligible his year -are Bun Stadelman, hot-put artist; Ed Siegmund, mrdler; and Len Steele, in the listance runs. Some of last year’s cinder art sts are back at it again this sea on, however. In the sprints the Vebfeet will be weakened by the ailure of many promising runners o return to school. Paul Starr, a last year's letterman, will be on hand in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. A quartet of fast quar ter-milers are working out for that event. They are Johnny I Marrs, Art Holman, Chuck Dol ! loff, and Jack Rollwage, who made up Oregon’s crack mile relay team last year. In the distances, Bob Hall and Tom Moran are hold-overs from last year. Bob Hunter, a junior transferred from Stanford, will also bear watching in the mile. Mason McCoy, a sophomore, and Hubert Allen are training for the high hurdles, while Allen and Art Holman will both be out for the low barriers. On the field Hayward's forces are stronger. Bill Palmer, Art Holman, and Hubert Allen will all be back for the broad jump, and Palmer will high jump. A1 Ed wards, husky javelin star, is back, and Marion Hall will perform in both the shot-put and the discus throw. From ■ the above mentioned ath letes and a score or more working out every day Bill Hayward will fashion his 1932 track squad. This week-end the cinder men will vie among themselves at Hay ward field in a trial event. All of the track events will be cut to three-fourths their length. On Friday afternoon the 75 and 150 yard dashes will be run off. while the remainder of the meet will be held on Saturday. The meet this week, unlike that of last, will include all of the usual events and javelin throwers and pole-vaulters will get a chance to show their mettle. j Harvard-Yale-Princeton troupe is that Erny Pinckert is ineligible to play for the California squad. The name of Southern California’s All American halfback of two years’ standing was conspicuous by its absence when the Olympic games list was issued yesterday. Hurried inquiries brought the news that Pinckert had jeopardized his ama teur standing by appearing on the stage of a Los Angeles theatre following the Trojans’ victory over Tulane last month. So Erny Pinckert will play ama teur football no more, and the greatest blocking halfback in America will be only a spectator this summer when his team mates and other California boys march up to the post to start the most novel football game ever staged in Los Angeles. * * * The western squad, named by Howard Jones, Pop Warner, Navy Bill Ingram and the rest of the western coaching association, con sists of 10 Stanford lads, nine Cal ifornia players and eight Trojans. The reason there are less South ern California men is not because they were inferior to the others— which most certainly was not the case—but because fewer of them graduate this June. Here’s the complete western squad: Stanford university — Milton Hand, Charles Ehrhorn, Albert Hunt, Phil S. Neill, Ray Hulen, Ray Dawson, Pete Heiser, Harry Hill man, Phil Moffatt and Kenneth Reynolds. University of California—Ral ston Gill. George Watkins, Edward Kifwan, Frank Medanich, Louis De Resta, Ralph Stone, Ed Grif fiths, Robert Bartlett and Joseph Smith. University of Southern Califor nia -— Garrett Arbelbide, Gene Clark, Johnny Baker, Stanley Wil mum LAST TIMES TONIGHT Lilyan Tashman and Stellar Cast Also Playing— LAUREL & HARDY in “ANOTHER MESS” Second Eliminations AMATEUR MUSICIAN'S CONTEST with Kush Hughes,-M.'C’ins WAA Basketball Meeting Slated for This Afternoon There will be a W. A. A. bas ketball meeting at 4 o’clock Fri day in the main gym for all girls interested in trying out for teams. The teams will be announced and the playing schedule outlined. The first game will be today at 5 o’clock between the freshman and sophomore P. E. majors. Girls’ Speedball Teams Play First Game Tuesday The newly organized girls’ speedball teams played their first game last night at 4 o’clock. The score was a tie, 8 to 8. As the teams have no names yet they are identified as the Color team and the No-color team. Gladys Gregory is the captain of the Colors, and Eleanor Coombe is the captain of the No-colors. The next game will be tonight at 4 o clock. All who wish to play are welcome to come out. liamson, Gaius Shaver, Thomas Mallory, Robert Hall and Harold Hammack. T. A. D. Jones, brother of How ard Jones, and ex-coach at Yale, will direct the easterners. One of his coaching opponents will be his brother, a situation the Los An geles newspaper writers probably will elaborate upon to a consider able degree. * * * The eastern team isn’t organ ized enough yet to tell much about it, but the western outfit looks like a world beater. Little Fhil Moffatt should be at his best with Tom Mallory, Gaius Shaver and Harold Hammack to clear the way for him. Those l. S. C. lads s|K‘cialize in the fine art of interference running. That’s quite a situation, isn’t it ? For three years Fhil Moffatt and the rest of the Stanford gang have been the deadly gridiron enemies of Gus Shaver and the Southern California bunch. But their past football wars will be forgotten August 8, when they line up, shoulder to shoulder, to meet the best the East can pre sent. As long as this is all about football, might as well wind up with a few remarks on Oregon's own football situation. Doc Spears has started scrimmage now, and the lads are having a merry time of it. The freshman | prospects look strong and rug ged' out there, but they’re not i finished products by any manner or means. They’ve still got plen ty to learn before they can be considered potential \ arsity ma terial. Tinkham and Cross Gather Sword Titles Winners Named in Epee, Sabre Divisions Foil Tournament To Begin Aetion Today in Gym At 3:45 P. M. Two champions were crowned yesterday in the all-campus fenc ing tournament. Russell Tinkham is king of the epee wielders. Don Cross bested all the other sabre experts. The remaining section of the tourney, that in the foil divis ion, will start this afternoon at 3:45 in the men's gym. Tinkham nosed out Norris Por ter in the epee title tilt by manu facturing five touches to his op ponent’s four. The count was knot ted at four contacts apiece when Porter ran into Tinkham’s weapon to give his adversary the winning tap and scepter. Cross defeated Edwin Pitt in the final sabre fray, 5-2. With the standing 4-2 in Cross’ favor, Pitt stood without making any motion or putting up any defense and al lowed Cross to touch him for the final contact. The results of the matches lead ing up to the championship battle in the epee contests are as fol lows. Porter eked out a win over George Hibbard in a closely con tested duel. The loser had a lead of 4-1 at one time, but Porter got his second'wind and made the next four contacts in rapid order for the victory. Tinkham broke through Irvin Hill’s defense easily for a 5-2 conquest. Porter gar nered another success by overcom ing Pitt, 5-3, but he had to come from behind again to repeat. Tink ham and Porter then put on the final battle. The outcomes of the sabre frays which culminated in the title match in that division are as fol lows. Buck Nash cut and slashed his way in a hard fought engage ment to eke out a victory over John Caswell, 5-4. Cross came from behind to down Lowell An derson and won his five touches while allowing his opponent to gar ner three. Pitt beat out Hibbard by the margin of one tap; the los er started out like a whirlwind to gather in the first three touches, but Pitt rallied and gained the de cisive jab. George Bennett and Cliff Stocker put on a Mutt and Jeff act, but Bennett's range was too much for his diminutive enemy, with the result that the behemoth swordsman took the match, 5-2. Cross came through with another win, this time over Nash, whom he conquered for a 5-3 victory. Ben nett succumbed to Pitt in easy fashion, Pitt gaining five contacts to Bennett's sole one. Pitt and Cross then put on the title act. JUNIOR SHINERS CLEAN 950 PAIRS OF BOOTS (Continued from Page One) bootblacks for a good touching up. j In fact, all in all, it was a big day j for many; especially for the fresh-i men who stormed the stands of their “dear” bigger brothers to let them put a high poll h on their shoes while the youi gsters di rected well-planned wist cracks at the juniors. One of the first eustorr ers yes terday morning was Dr. Ilez.'who hopped up on the stand with a pair of well-varnished shoes. When asked about the unusual applica tion and coating on his footwear,! Dr. Mez stated that he had been! a good sport at several previous I shine days, but wasn't going to i take a chance on having his shoes ruined this year. The total receipts were not re ported at a late hour last night, but at that time Marguerite Tar bell stated that about 950 pairs of shoes had been shined during the day. Last year the shine day results revealed that 980 pairs of shoes v/ere shined, but in compar ing the two years It must be kept in mind that enrollment in the ' University this term is consider ably less than it w’as a year ago. “The success of Junior Shine Day far exceeded our every ex pectation,” Johnny Hare, shine day chairman, declared last eve ning. Bob Hall, junior class pres ident, reported that he was very much pleased with the outcome of the annual shoe clean-up, and stated that an announcement would ,be made soon in regard to the -disbursement * of ' the receipts toward some charitable cause.

Coach Launches Spring Practice Matriculation of Quintet Of Giants Leaves Gap In Forward Wall WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Feb. 24.—(Spe cial.)—Development of line mate rial is Coach Babe Holling ber y's chief problem as he launches spring football practice this week. The Cougar men tor, with his famTly, returned to Pull m a n Thursday Babe Holingbery from San Fran cisco after a two and a half months’ absence. Un der terms of his new three-year contract which he is starting, Hol lingbery will make permanent res idence in Pullman. Four Regulars Gone Four regulars from last fall’s Cougar forward wall are gradu ating. Captain Glen Edwards, All-American tackle; Joe Hansen, center; George Hurley and Jack Parodi, guards, have finished their competition as well as Frank Mitchell, veteran alternate guard. The absence of these five stal warts will leave the line badly weakened. Edwards, Hurley and Parodi have been regulars for three years. Reserves from last fall’s team and the 1931 frosh will furnish promising material to fill the gaps. Walter Camp, regular, and Angelo Busato and Norman Tay lor, lettermen, will be available for tackle while Clem Senn, Har old Companion and Virgil Odom are letter winners at guard. Frank Ingram, husky letterman, is a fine choice at center. Line Looking Good Foremost among the yearling line prospects are Frank Stojack, guard; Tom Dech, tackle; and Bob Feldhammer, center, all hus ky men of varsity calibre. Rogers field has a heavy coat ing of snow and ice so outdoor practice will be impossible for some time yet. In the meantime workouts will be held in the big field house. Spring practice will probably last six weeks. two games remain on Oregon's basketball schedule, both of them with Oregon State college, Blais believes that fans will find the program this afternoon unusually interesting. A general survey of the coast basketball situation will be included. Freshman Forensic Squad Has Debates Willi Linfield Thompson, Shallot, Ohmart, and Pursley Talk In Debate The Oregon freshman debate squad figured in a dual debate with Linfield college on the ques should enact legislation providing for the centralized control of in dustry,” yesterday afternoon. The frosh negative, which de bated in room 2 Friendly hall here, was made up of Orval Thompson and Herbert Skallet, both pre-law majors. The Linfield affirmative debaters were James Kent and Floyd Lewis. The Oregon affirmative, com posed of Howard Ohmart and Theodore Pursley, met the Linfield negative at McMinnville. According to Robert Oliver, graduate assistant in the speech department, the new conference type of debate, which was used in the local contest, was even more successful than the speech divis ion had anticipated. “The direct method of address," Oliver stated, “seemed to give an impetus to the arguments. The speakers realized they were in a verbal conflict with their honor able opponents much more forci bly than when they addressed a half-interested, and oftimcs imag inary audience.” A 17-year-old honor student at Oak Park high school, Chicago, has been trapped in an extortion plot to get $10,000 from a wealthy Oak Park man.

The Golden Bears have had newr boats before—but the one coming to them in mid-March is different. It's of advanced construction. Its riggers are of duralumin. Its skin is fastened to keel and gunwales, rather than glued to the ribs. The new type riggers will effect a saving of 30 pounds in the weight of the shell. The fastening of the skin will eliminate the undulation between the ribs of the boat, per mitting it to slode more freely through the water. Together, these improvements may bring California another Poughkeepsie championship and send her to an Olympic title as in 1928. The craft is of standard length and beam, a creation of Georgia Peacock, Seattle boat-builder. It will be christened before the Bears depart for the regattas at Seattle, Poughkeepsie and Worcester.
