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.

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.

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."

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.

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.”

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

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

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.
These awards had an aggregate
value of $1,715 per month, as fol

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.

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

During 1931-32 199 students of
the University of Oregon (athletes
and non-athletes) received schol
arship money to the extent of $40,

$9,477. Athletes were holders of

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.
