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. Reserva
tions for tickets can be made with

Flu Keeps Reinhart From
Pre-Season Practice;
35 Men Out
The opening 1932 baseball prac
tice at McArthur court yesterdaj
found 35 candidates for the Oregor
varsity hard at work, but minus s
coach. 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.

Ralph Hill, the lean young fel
low who set a new intercollegiate
mile-run record when he was run
ning for Oregon two years ago, is
jogging the two-mile now. 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.

Benson Tech to

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

‘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

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.

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,
