Oregon Coaches. Two-mile for Hill. The Bears Win. -By DICK NEUBEKGER JT looks as if the majority of the outstanding teams at the Ore gon state high school basketball tournament this year will be those coached by Uni versity of Oregon graduates. Three noteworthy clubs headed by e x - tVebfoots are cer tain of competing in the annual prep school ath letic classic, and Jean Eberhar'i among the starting sixteen. The three teams that already have clinched their berths are Ben son Tech of Portland, Salem and University high of Eugene. Ben son, one of the favored contend ers, is coached by Howard (Hobby > Hobson, who captained Oregon's northern division basketball cham pions in 1926. Salem's coach is Hollis W. (Hollie) Huntington, long remembered here as a dashing football halfback. University, which won the championship of this district by edging out Eugene Saturday night, is led by Jean Eberhart, who played for the Web foots only last year. The fourth outstanding Ore gon coached team that proba bly will enter the tournament is Astoria, tutored by “Honest John” Warren. A flock of pro tests against his star southpaw forward, Lefty Palmberg, al most put Honest John on the rocks, but the difficulty finally was eliminated when the pro tests were ruled down at a meet ing of the Oregon State high school athletic association. Whether Benson goes as the No. 1 or No. 2 Portland dub will will be determined to a large extent this afternoon when Hob- j by’s lads meet Lincoln high. At ! present the Benson boys hold a one game lead over Lincoln, so a victory for them today would give the big school its first Port- | land interscholastic basketball championship. Should Lincoln win, howefer, a playoff game for the title would then be necessary. # 4: * Because Lincoln uses a zone de fense, the training Hobson had un- j der Bill Reinhart will stand him j in good stead today. For three I years Bill taught Hobby how to; baffle O. A. C.’s zone defense, so i the Lincoln formations are noth- j ing new to Benson's youthful lead-' crs. Incidentally, Lincoln is : coached by slim David Wright, who learned his basketball under the inventor of the game, Forrest (Phog) Allen, world famous men tor of the University of Kansas. All these Oregon men having outstanding teams in the tourna ment aroused plenty of interest here. A big delegation from Eu gene and the University is going to accompany Jean Eberhart's team north to Salem. The tourna ment will be held in the Willam ette university gymnasium from March 16 to 3 9 inclusive.

Bill Reinhart, Webfoot men tor, was confined to bed with a slight case of influenza and Cap tain Johnny Londahl took charge of the initial session. The aspirants spent the after noon in loosening up their arms. Until next term most of the work outs will be on the Igloo floor. Pitchers and catchers will have a chance to get into pre-season shape before starting outdoor practice. Ken Scales, Ike Donin and Ossie Edwards, the three most promis ing mound candidates, were all out for the first workout. Duke Shaneman, regular catcher, and Chappie King, reserve backstop and general utility man, will do most of the work behind the bat. Regulars returning from last year’s varsity include Brian Mim naugh, Slug Palmer, Kermit Ste vens, Cliff Potter, Johnny Londahl, and Leland Chester. Lestle Sparks at Salem or John L.

Com peting for the San Francisco Olym pic club in a recent meet against Stanford, he covered the distance in 9 minutes 40 5-10 seconds, good time for this early in the year. Stanford won the meet by the narrow margin of 67 1-3 to 63 2-3. * * $ Ralph is a noteworthy Olym pic games prospect, as is War ren Demaris, a freshman javelin thrower at the university this year. In the intramural track meet Saturday, Demaris helped Phi Delta Theta win by hurling the spear more than 193 feet. That’s an exceptional distance for college freshmen. However, Warren will have to gain con siderable ground, for Ken Churchill, another Olympic games aspirant, attained 211 feet a short time ago. Well .basketball's all over for mother year and the University of California is champion of the Pa cific Coast conference once more, rhe Washington Huskies lost the ?irst playoff game, 22 to 21, and -hen were outscored in the second, 36 to 24. Stalling lost the opening encounter for the northerners, rhis was apparent from the radio play-by-play description, and Hec Edmundsen admitted as much in a signed story that appeared in the Beattie Times. With three minutes to play, the Huskies were ahead, 21 to 20. In stead of attempting to increase their lead, they retired into the back court and started to stall. The ruse worked for • 2 minutes md b0 seconds, but failed just be fore the final gun when Dick Read intercepted a stray pass and sank Dime | Nite 1 i And What a Show for I the Dough .... “The “ROAD - TO RENO” with (H\S.

Benson Tech to V Face Lincoln in Hoop Tilt Tonight T>OKTLANO, Ore., March 7.— '(Special).—Howard Hobson, former University of Oregon basketball captain, has a chance tomorrow to become the first coach ever to lead Benson Poly technic school to a basketball championship. His Orange team meets Lincoln high in the nar row Washington gymnasium in the game that probably will de cide the Portland interscholas tic basketball title. A victory for Benson would give the Mechanics the pen rant. If Lincoln wins, the race will be in a deadlock once more. When the clubs met last month, Benson edged out a 2S-to-20 triumph. Both Benson and Lin coln will represent Portland at the 13tli annual state tourna ment at Willamette university this month. Bears Take P.C.C. Title From Husky Horde at Oakland ‘His Nibs’ Emerges With Coast Trophy for One More Year OAKLAND, Cal., March 7.— Coach Nibs Price’s Golden Bears are basketball champions of the Pacific coast today and the silver trophy is on its way to Berkeley from the University of Washing ton. The Bears won possession of the cup for the next year by smashing the Huskies 36 to 24 in the second game here Saturday night. California won the opening con test of the play-off series 22 to 21, when Dick Read looped a last min ute field goal. The second game was a more decisive win for the Bears, although the title winners from the North fought desperately throughout the game. Hal Eifert, sophomore forward, was the star of the deciding game. He scored points at will in the first period to put the Bears way ahead at half-time. When he was forced out on fouls Coach Price put in Seifert, who continued the good work The Huskies staged a determined rally in the closing minutes but the California lead was too great for them to over come. the basket that brought victory to the Bears. All this happened with Emil I’iluso refereeing, which meant it was Washington’s big chance to win. They play a wild, body contact game in the south that never would be tolerated up here. So with Piluso in charge the Huskies had their opportunity. When they threw that to the four winds, the series was virtu ally over. The next night Herb Dana took over the whistle, and the rough and tumble California boys pushed Washington all over the court in their drive for vic tory. Rev. A. M. Spangler Here From Massachusetts Iiev. A. M. Spangler, pastor of the Congregational church here 10 years ago, is a visitor on the cam pus, Matthew H. Douglass, Uni versity librarian, said yesterday. Rev. Mr. Spangler devoted much time serving on a half-time basis as Y. M. C. A. secretary on the campus during and after the war. The reverends' son and daugh ter, Dr. Paul Spangler of Portland and Margaret Spangler Higginbo tham of Victor, New York, are graduates of the University of Oregon. At present the reverend is pas tor of a community church in Ty ringam, Massachusetts. He made the trip west through the Panama canal, and plans to return by air plane.

DONUT CHATS by JOSEPH SASLAVSKY Are the Phi Delt intramural ath letic teams starting a winning streak as the Yeomen did before they managed to stop the indepen dents? The Phi Delt squads have taken the last two donut titles in a row, in volleyball and last Sat urday in track. From the way the Yeomen started out in the fall term and the first half of this serhester, it appeared that they would run away from all the other tongs. Phi Delta Theta put a crimp in the Yeomen plans by un expectedly winning the volleyball gonfalon, and now they calmly proceed to capture the field events easily and without much opposi tion by beating out the runner-up, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, by more than 40 points. Thus so far, the Yeomen and Phi Delts hold a monopoly on all the donut championships run off. What next term holds in store is a question that the fates will de cide. If any of the other men’s or ganizations desire to gain a donut scepter, they will have three chances this spring, when three tournaments will be opened to competition—tennis, golf, and soft ball. Prospects of an additional donut event on the spring term program are bright. A relay race competi tion will be held the first part of the semester, according to Earl Boushey, director of intramural sports. * * * Frosh tracksters got away with the greater share of the points in the donut track meet Saturday. With the form they displayed, they should be able to give the rooks a harder tussle in the dual meet here next spring than the baby Beavers have experienced in the last few years. The Orange freshmen have been in the habit of trouncing the Duckling cinder artists quite consistently in re cent seasons, but Bill Hayward, coach of the Webfoots, always in jects some mysterious potion in the frosh when they become mem bers of the Duck varsity, with the result that the proceedings are reversed, and the Oregon track stern come out on top of the Staters in the varsity rivalries. So unless something radically wrong happens, the event should be far from the usual runaway for the rooks. * * * Clair Meisel, coach of wrestling, is still awaiting word from O. S. C. anent a dual grappling meet to be held between squads of tuggers of both schools. He hopes that by billing this and additional meets, wrestling competition on the cam pus will be raised to a varsity status and regular intercollegiate events held between Oregon and aggregations from other schools on the coast. A summary of the donut hap penings this term would not be amiss, what with the end of the semester and final exams ap proaching at a much too rapid pace. The Yeomen won the intra mural basketball and handball flags, and the Phi Delts the vol leyball and track titles. Three all campus tourneys were staged — fencing, handball, and wrestling. In the blade events, Norris Porter is champion of the foil wielders, Don Cross of the sabre, and Rus sell Tinkham of the epee. Warren Cress is the singles handball titlist, while he and Fred Deuel hold the tandem champion ship in the court sport. The kings of the tendon tuggers are as follows — Norman Burke, 128; John Ruttencutter, 138; Ray Clapp, 148; Tom Mountain, 158, Doc Kelliher, 168; Frank Keltner, 178; Howard Clark, heavyweight. EMERALD ... of the A I R Holla Reedy, the University of Oregon entry in the Pacific Coast Oratorical contest to be held March 22, will present his oration entitled “Fishwheels" during the Emerald of the Air this afternoon at 4:15 over station KORE. In the presentation Reedy deals with the problems of modern industry. Reedy has been one of this year's mainstays on the varsity debate team, and has done a great amount of public speaking before community gatherings, as well as before University audiences. EX-PROF W RITES A letter from Dr. H. I. Tanner,! former professor of chemistryj htfre, was received recently by Dr ] Roger J. Williams of the chemis try department. Dr. Tanner left here in 1926. He j is now director of fundamental re search in inorganic chemistry at j the DuPont company in Wilming ton, Delaware. Washington State Tracksters Make Debut at Pullman Cougar Sprinters Primed For Coming Cinder Road Season WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, March 7.- (Spec ial)—In the first informal trials of the season, Washington State track and field men gave excep tionally promising performances. Paul Swift, crack sprint ace, stepped through short dash trials in fast time. In the opinion of Coach Karl Schlademan, Swift has everything he had last year and should make further progress this spring. Last year Swift hit his •top speed when he won the Kansas re lays 100-yard dash in 9,5 seconds. Ronald Kelley, sophomore end of last fall’s football team, pulled a big surprise when he beat Fred Michel in the low hurdles and Car ville Sparks in the high sticks over short distances. Michel and Sparks set the Washington State ail-time records in their favorite events last year. Jumping 23 feet 3 inches with ease, George (Jo-Jo) Martin, star board jumper who returned this semester after a five-years ab sence, showed he is rounding into form. Homer Hein, javelin throw ing king, is slow in getting into shape and has Coach Schlademan worried over his outlook. He is under weight and has been slow about coming back after football season. Among the freshman aspirants, Bill Shye of Pe Ell in the distances and John Evans, Longview, in the dashes, are showing to the best advantage. Half a dozen university presi dents, including two rallroac presi dents, it was recently revealed, have constructed for themselves in an exclusive office in New York, a complete toy railroad system.
