With the aid of Associated Press features and other services, un efficient sports staff, directed by Bruce Hamby, tells you what's going on in the realm of athletics. VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUQBNE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1933 EMERALD SPORTS STAFF Bruce Hamby.Sports Editor Malcolm Bauer.Assistant Sports Editor Ned Simpson, Dudley Lindner, Bill Eberhart, Ben Back, Bob Avlson. Page 4 Nobody’s! Business By BRUCE HAMBY rA HEADLINE in a local paper notifies us that the coming basketball games between Oregon and Washington Slate are worry Jack Frlel mg tile experts. The experts are not the only ones worried, however, for Bill Reinhart and 10 of his pro teges are giving the matter a great deal of serious thought. The encounters Friday and Sat urday nights will be the first con ference test of the season, which is enough reason to worry any coach and team. But add to that the thought that the Cougars have one of the best balanced squads to represent the Pullman institution in a num ber of years. The regular squad of 10 players averages six feet one inch in altitude. The average poundage per man is 170. Huntly Gordon, the all-coast center, soars six feet five inches and weighs 396 pounds. Ken Wills, guard, and Lee Sonedecker, forward, are the two midgets of the team, measur ing five feet 10 inches. * * * Big or heavy, the Cougars are likely to be in for a merry two nights of basketball this week-end if the series in any way resembles last year’s. Old timers classed the 1932 games as the best in years. The two defeats handed the Cougars on McArthur court put them back in reach of Washington’s Hus kies, who later overhauled them and won the Northern division crown. So rest assured that Jack Friel’s boys will be look ing for trouble. * * * The resignation of Paul Schis sler as head football coach at Ore gon State yesterday opens the field for hot discussion and guesses, some not so hot, as to his successor . Ever since the finish of the Beaver grid season talk has centered on the question of a new Orange mentor. Schissler's resignation was not surprising in view of the pan ning he has undergone at the hands of both Portland press and home town critics. One of the Oregon State student body employees was overheard by this writer in Portland during the vacation, saying that the only way the college could get rid of Paul John was to insult him and pray that lie would be of fended and leave. Whoever thought of the salary stunt guessed right. * * * Mike Pacarovich, Gonzaga’s hustling young coach, is one of those most frequently mentioned as Schissler's successor. Rumors state that many would like to ob tain Red Grange, of Illinois and professional fame, as coach. His name would draw crowds, for a time at least, even if he failed as a big time mentor. * * * ODDS AND ENDS: There is nothing accidental about the mellow, golden voice of a British sports broadcaster. . . . There is an assistant whose sole respon sibility lies in keeping a flagon filled with rare port wine. . . . Harvard has arranged the most exclusive football program for 1933 .... all eight games are to be played at Cambridge. * * * Tony Canzoneri, lightweight boxing champion, has his own 12 piece dance orchestra. . . . Tony conducts it himself. . . . Someone with an unflagging thirst for knowledge wants to know if, un der the new metric system, it will be proper to speak of “Joe Glutz. Harvard’s great hectometer,” or ol “Joe Snow, the famous old kilometer.” Geography of Oregon Topic for Discussion A joint seminar on the geogra phy of Oregon will be held every other week by Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geography, and Professor Alfred L. Lomax of the school of business administra tion, according to statements made last night at the first meeting of the term. Dr. Smith will deal with the phy sical aspects of the study, and Professor Lomax will handle the economic side. Badger Sees Dark Future For Football N. Y. U. Official Predicts Downfall of Game _ i Only One College in Ten Is Said To Bo Observing Rules Of Sportsmanship NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (Special) —The statement that “only one college in ten is observing the A. A. Stusff lueais oi sports manship" in their conduct of foot ball and the pre diction that the game would be virtually dead as a sport or would become frankly professional with in 10 years if the schools did not get down to the business of clean ing up conditions .eiecirmeu tnc country's leading gridiron coaches at a luncheon tendered here re cently to Amos Alonzo Stagg as the annual conclave of the foot ball coaches' association got under way. The speaker whose "death or re form” warning stunned his audi tors was Professor Philip O. Badger, chairman of the New York university faculty board of control. Addressing the annual Sports manship Brotherhood luncheon at the Town Hall club, Dr. Badger noted the continued presence of many evils in the college sports world generally. Referring specifically to his col lege, he said that New York uni versity, accused of attempting to de-emphasize football, was merely striving to "deodorize it.” “I am convinced that not more than 10 per cent of the colleges and universities in the country are doing the sporting thing,” he said. A. A. Stagg Praised Dr. Badger was one of several prominent figures in the college athletic world who paid tribute to Stagg, recently retired 70-year-old football coach of the University of Chicago.- Stagg was guest of honor at the luncheon and was surrounded by numerous former associates. The veteran, a staunch sup porter of pure amateurism in American sports, made a plea for honesty. He called honesty the basis of sports and the funda mental of competitive athletics. “I have worked for many years in the Midwest in urging fair play in sports; I have made some pro gress, but there is much still left to be done,” he said. Emerald Of the Air The Emerald-of-the-Air comes to you today over KORE at 12:15 with another quarter hour of news from the Oregon Daily Emerald. Watch this column for further announcements of future pro grams. PAUL SCH1SSLER RESIGNS PLACE AS HEAD COACH (Continued from Page One) in the season. Cardinal strength was given as a pertinent alibi, but when Stanford was mauled by U. S. C., Washington and U. C. L. A., Schissler lost further prestige. The feat of holding Oregon to a one-touchdown victory also was mitigated by the massacre sus tained by the Webfoots one week later at Troy. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the disastrous trip east, on which the Beavers lost two games. Previous to this season inter sectional games had been Sehiss ler's forte. His greatest single achievement was his team's vic tory, 25 to 13, over New York uni versity in 1028. That year N. Y. U. had defeated everyone, includ ing Carnegie Tech, which had licked Notre Dame. The greatest player Schissler ever developed was Howard Maple, roly-poly triple-threat quarterback, whose passes and runs dumped the Vio lets. Schissler also can look back up on a one-point loss to the mighty Trojans, 13 to 12, when dynamic Don Williams was performing in U. S. C.’s backfield. It is expected that a successor to Schissler will be named in the near future. Pecarovich is regard ed as a likely candidate. Coach Prink Calllson made the following statement regarding the change yesterday afternoon to an Emerald sports writer: "Our rela tionship has been most friendly, and I am very sorry that Coach Schissler is leaving Oregon State." Alta Boy, Biff, Old Kid! Hdey P. Long, United States senator from Louisiana, and former governor of the delta state, is seen congratulating Biff Jones, ex-Army grid mentor, upon the fine showing made by the Louisiana State grid team during the season just terminated. Long was instrumental in bringing Jones to the southern conference school to take over the duties us head grid coach of the Tigers. ‘BIFF’ AND HUEY BOOST FOOTBALL AT TIGER SCHOOL Louisiana State Has Good Outlook For Another Successful Grid Season By DILLON GRAHAM BATON ROUGH, La., Jan. 10.— (AP)— Huey Long and "Biff” Jones have made Louisiana State university championship-conscious. Senator Long, the former gover nor of Louisiana and still its “Kingfish,” started it all last year when he brought about a shake-up in the athletic department, hired Jones, a nationally known gridiron figure, as coach and ordered "full speed ahead.” Huey wanted a winning football team and Biff produced a much improved outfit in his first sea son. Huey was well pleased as the Tigers finiished in a three-way tic for the old Southern Conference championship. Long figures the Tigers ought to set tile pace next fall and Jones admits prospects are good. Biff lost seven varsity players but a husky and talented bunch of soph omores, up from an unbeaten and unscored on freshman aggregation, will adequately replace them. The Tigers have their eyes on the first gridiron championship of the Southeastern loop, the offshoot of the old Southern conference. Oregon’s Webfoots traveled to Louisiana last month and returned with a 12 to 0 win over Biff's Ti gers. This was the third defeat suffered by the southern team all season. EINSTEIN TO DELIVER TALKS ON WORLD STATUS (Continued front Page One) received and attended by a capac ity crowd. The purpose of these meetings which are staged by collegians is to “help the objective considera tion of the basically important problems which are now confront ing the civilized world." Further, the sponsoring body of eleven stu dent presidents says "public opin ion is a much abused term. Some times it is merely a cloak for the energetic propaganda which is stirred up from motives of self interest.” Huskies9 Chances To Retain Title Rest on Guards SEATTLE, Jan’. 10—(API—1The University of Washington basket ball team will be as strong as its guards when the Huskies start the 1933 campaign in quest of their sixth consecutive northern division Pacific Coast conference cham pionship. Washington lost its two regular defense men, Ralph Cairney and Ned Nelson, by graduation, and Coach “Hec” Edmundson figures the success or failure of his hoop sters this year rests on the guard positions. Johnny Fuller, high-scoring cen ter, is back again teady to do either forward or tipoff work. Jack Hanover and Virgil Perry, regular forwards from last year, are back again, with Hanover a virtual cinch for one berth. Edmundson has been switching his young guards around in an ef fort to find the best combination, and to date it appears that Bob Heaman and Joe Weber, lettermen, have the inside track. BUTLER REPORTS COAST ATHLETICS ARE 0. K. (Continued from Page One) Butler gives Oregon a clear slate. In fact he found that every mem ber of the conference was not showing favor to athletes in the matter of admittance. Under the head of “financial status of athletes” Butler devotes several pages of his report to a discussion of the various means by which athletes are given mone tary aid. He points out that a great majority of these college athletes are young men who must earn, or otherwise secure, all or a major portion of the funds to meet their college expenses. This factor, he says, "emphasizes the short comings of prevailing amateur rules in meeting general athletic conditions as they now exist.” “Self-help opportunities and fi nancial aids available to athletes are not equal at all of the Pacific coast conference universities,’ Butler reports. “ . . . uneven com petitive conditions have resulted from this lack of uniformity.” CINEMA COLONIAL—"Road to Life.” McDONALD — "Me aiul My *Gal.” Koad to Life Tlie Colonial is showing Russia in the raw tonight. Now that the Soviet Republic has gotten Eisen stein America is getting Soviet pictures. This particular epic of the steppes is said not to be pro paganda such as "The Five Year Flan," last seen in this country, but rather is a representation of the "soul of man under the ma chine age" which has a familiar sound. Your critic is as much at sea as you are, but I personally am enough interested in Russia as she is to take a chance tonight. The dialogue is in Russian, the subtitles in English. It will be perfectly intelligible. • • • McDonald • Spencer Tracy is the cop; Joan -1 Bennett is the girl—heigh-ho for a merry-o picture. The first time I saw it people were laughing so boisterously here and there that I missed a good third of the cracks, of which there are plenty, so I went again, and it was even pretty good then. Miss Bennett is better as the cute little toughie behind the hash-house counter than she's ever been as the daugh ter of luxury, and Mr. Tracy is right in his element with a black derby. The plot is very slight and conventional as far as that goes the picture is conventional but the two leads do much to remedy conditions. Good.

By BHN BACK Donut handball athletes are scheduled to start wild action and also open the 1933 program of in tramural sports at the men's gym nasium at 4:00 o’clock today. Teams entered in this sport are the pick of the houses who are making strenuous effort to score more points than they scored last term. During the term just concluded donut sports set a new all-time record with regard to the number of participants. Five hundred eleven students took part in six sports which were all hotly con tested. Highlights of last term’s compe tition were the victories in swim ming by the Fijis, with one of their freshmen, Tommy Blanken berg, a national swimming cham pion, doing practically all the hard work and the concluding basket ball game between the Betas and the Yeomen. The Yeomen won this game 25 to 21, but only after a stiff battle. It was a game in which the winner was in doubt until the concluding seconds of play. Another of last year’s sports in the intramurals which created much interest was boxing, which drew capacity crowds for each card. IMPORTANT EVENTS OF 1932 PLACED IN REVIEW (Continued from Page One) was announced that he was going East. Incidentally, upon his ar rival at Wisconsin, Spears pro ceeded to take second place in the Big Ten conference, losing only one game all season, 7 to 6, to Purdue’s undefeated eleven. Again, during the spring of 1932, the campus was staggered by publication of the report of the board of higher education favoring combination and consolidation of schools and departments on the Eugene and Corvallis campuses. The school of journalism was to be abolished and such courses as would be given were to be under the English department. Geology, mathematics and the sciences were to be transferred to Corvallis. Commerce and vocational educa tion were to be moved here from Corvallis where they would be combined with business admini stration and education. Journalism students got “all hot and bothered” and started a big campaign to save their school. This spread to the editors of news papers throughout the state and the board rescinded its action. The other provisions, however, were carried out much as proposed in the report. Numerous stories and editorials were written on the ban on opera tion of automobiles by students during the academic year. The first announcement came last spring shortly before the end of the term. With but few excep tions, students were not to be al lowed to drive under any condi tions. This ruling met with oppo sition from parents, business men and students. Investigation showed that the grades of students who drove were not necessarily lower than those of students who did not. Finally, after two students had been expelled at Oregon for failure to comply with the registration and application rules, the ban was lifted and only registration of stu dent operated vehicles was re quired. The financial crisis facing the University occasioned several stories which lost a large measure of their importance due to the same condition facing the major ity of students. Probably the greatest amount of interest in members and graduate students these stories has been to faculty depending upon incomes from the University to finance their way. The other stories in the list were soon forgotten in the whirl of studies, activities and social life. Other events which might have been mentioned were the re turn of the Pacific debate tour team, funding of the McArthur court debt, stiffening of the regu lations on the lives of co-eds, j changing of the methods of en-j forcing campus traditions, organi To Succeed Schissler? Mike Pecarovich, husky mentor of tlie Gonzaga Bulldogs, who has been rumored as the successor to Paul J. Schissler as coach of the Oregon State Beavers. Schissler resigned yesterday after protracted disagreement concerning matters of salary. Pecarovich is an ex-Notre Dame star and coached the Bulldogs to an exceptionally fine season’s record this year. They scored on every team they played and held Oregon to the narrow margin of seven points in an early-season en counter. zation of the student parliament, tie-up of student money through closing of the Bank of Commerce, the visit here of Sir Hubert Wil kins, the expulsion of two students for auto law violations, and the victory over Oregon State in foot ball. COMMISSIONER GETS FACTS ON SCHOLARSHIPS (Continued from Page One) versity of Oregon are adminis tered without favor or discrimina tion toward athletes. About 1928 there was estab lished at the University of Oregon scholarships which are at present known as the Oregon Common wealth scholarships. The Oregon Commonwealth scholarships com mittee in 1931-32 was made up of the following individuals: The registrar and executive sec retary to the president—chairman. The president of the University of Oregon. The dean of the college of lit erature, science and arts. The assistant graduate manager of the associated students. One alumni member and one member from the executive coun cil. During the college year of 1931 32 contributions to this fund to taled $9,477.05. The 250 contribu tors paid their subscriptions into the business office of the Univer sity and the funds were handled in the same manner as other Univer sity funds. During the college year of 1931-32 53 students, all of whom were athletes, were benefactories of Oregon Commonwealth schol arships. A full scholarship is $360 a year, payable in nine monthly in stallments of $40 each; however, as these scholarships were admin istered during 1931-32, a benefic iary might receive a full scholar ship, a three-fourths scholarship, a half scholarship, or a quarter scholarship, and the amount of the scholarship might vary from month to month. During the months of October, November, and December of 1931, for example, there were 52 Deneficiaries of Ore gon Commonwealth scholarships.

DUCKLING HOOP SCHEDULE LIKELY TO BE SHORTENED Slash in Budget Promises Big Cut In Activities of Frosh Basketball Squad Freshman basketball is hard hit by the budget slash this year. No guarantees can be made to outside teams for coming here to play. The poor cash attendance is the reason for this, for it would mean drawing on the already over burdened treasury. At present the Frosh have sche duled but four important games. The first will be against the Rooks on February 3, at Corvallis. The following night the Rooks will be the guests of the Frosh here. A third game with the Rooks will be played about February 20, the time and place not being definitely decided upon as yet. A tentative game with the Mult nomah Club Intermediates has been lined up for some time around February 10. It is possible that the game may be played here as a preliminary to one of the varpity games. Red Rogers, frosh mentor, is at tempting to line up several games with Portland teams for the next few weeks. The Frosh are also looking around for dates with the leading high school teams of the state. It is highly probable that invitations will be extended to some of the local independent teams in and around Eugene, to be played prior to the Rook games. ample, there were 38 beneficiaries of Oregon Commonwealth schol arships. The.se scholarships has an aggregate value of $1,165 and were awarded as follows: No. of Scholarship Amt. per Holders Month 11 at .$40.00 18 at . 30.00 1 at . 25.00 8 at . 20.00 The University of Oregon fol lowed the policy during 1931-32 of paying these scholarships by reg ular pay-roll checks. Scholarship holders were able to get advances on the amounts due before the date of regular payment by securing a signed order from the assistant graduate manager and presenting the same to the University busi ness office. During 1931-32 199 students of the University of Oregon (athletes and non-athletes) received schol arship money to the extent of $40, 708, of which athletes received $9,477. Athletes were holders of 27 per cent of the total number of scholarships of all types award ed, and athletes received 23 per cent of the total amount of schol arship funds awarded. Appointment Bureau Begins New Program The Appointment Bureau of the University school of education is now beginning work on its pro gram of placement of teachers for the new year according to Miss Ida May Pope of the bureau. This year a large number of applicants are seeking positions and the bureau urges that all stu dents applying for schools for the coming year hand in their regis tration material immediately. A meeting of applicants was held late last term for the purpose of giving information to the students. >’*niosALi> D/rvrttfjnt OX tV LSI COAST, TNf ATRES, ENDS TONITE [Me»«AMy Gal, Ulk Spencer TRACT Jmmn BENNETT Fee Pieter* - Thursday —Big Enough to Open the New Roxy— Birds Believe In It!
