Bob Avison. • VOLUME XXXIV_ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON; EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933___Pag<* 4 Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY 'C'OR the past three days I have been hinting for my little friend, the eminent Crystal W. & a i i . Hi v e r j member of the sport staff searched the nooks and cran nies of the cam pus but no Crys tal. It’s really a shame for his predictions on the Oregon - Wash i n g t o n games Bob Miller valuable. Maybe he’s wise at that, for personally I’d hate to pick the winner. Remember, Washington State is a favorite. Their pre-sea son record warrants that. They defeated Oregon State once and having seen Oregon State play this season I know that the Cou gars must have a team to do that. But also remember what hap pened last year. Yes, it's easy to understand why Crystal is holding out on us. s|« Jft tft Oregon's chances to win rest on one l?lg factor. If the boys drive in hard and don’t let up the Cougars may find them selves on the short, end of the score. Did you notice how Ash land wilted in the second half after the Webfoots had kept banging in during the first pe riod. They took the game away from them at the very first and . didn’t let up. * » * One thing you can be sure of. Cap Roberts and Gib Olinger will not let down. The loss of Kermit Stevens is sorely felt in this mat ter for Stevens is a fighter from the word go. That's the reason he’s on the bench now. In the first game of the local series with the Sons he suffered a severe knee in jury that will keep him off the floor until next week’s series with Washington. * * * If Spook Robertson gets off the well-known dime and plays the ball he is really capable of he may turn the tide. Jim Watts always plays consistently and can be depended on both offen sively and defensively. The fifth member of the starting lineup, Bob Miller, should be able to take care of himself. He will have the honor of taking care of Roland Johnson, the tall sharp shooting ace of the Cougar squad. Miller is big and aggres sive. His only handicap, accord ing to Bill Reinhart, is small hands. His small paws made it hard for him to be a first-class passer. * * * One Interesting fact about the Washington State quintet: every member of the ten-man traveling squad is a native of the state of Washington. Three come .from Spokane, two from Seattle, two from Walla Walla, two from Mount Vernon, and one from Kitz vllle. ] lobby Cross, two-year let - terman forward, is the pride and joy of Kitzville, which, Ned Simp son tt Us me, is near Pullman. * * * Today's depression story: The University of California will not send their crew to the Pough keepsie regatta. One hour later the story came from New York that the Poughkeepsie regatta might not be held this year. Withdrawal of several annual entries was given as the reason. * * * For the benefit of those who didn’t read the tale in the Port land Journal we take time out tc repeat one of the several humor ous Incidents which happened on the Louisiana trip. There are many others but unfortunately they can not be printed in the unweekly Emerald. Calling a four-day-a week paper a daily is not the only thing the post office fines one for * * * Anyhow, the story goes that while in El Paso, Texas, Prink Callison ordered the Webfoots to limber up on the station plat form. Members of the U, C. L. A. team, traveling to Florida on the same train, watched with some interest. Only one of them loudly commented on the slow ness of the Oregonians. * * * Mike Mikulak overheard—ever though the Uclan was speaking English—and retorted gently that the California was slightly balmy To make a long story short,the Five Indians Were Enough For 'Old Fox’ ‘Pop’s’ Trams Couldn’t Br Brat, Says Bruce Thorpe Wins Eight Events To Put Meet on lee for Warner's Traehsters By EDWARD J. NEIL NEW YORK, Jan. 12 —(AP) — Dr. Harold Ansen Bruce, a brisk, dapper man and member of the amateur athletic association high iljuncil, held the floor, and the sub ject was the return of a famous son, Glenn Scobey Warner, to the coaching ranks of the East in gen eral, and Temple university in par ticular. “You youngsters,” he said, “don't know the real 'Pop' War ner. He’s slowed up some now. . . . But I can tell you. . . Whereupon Dr. Bruce moved in to the past to add to the legends that surround the name of the great football leader of Cornell, Georgia, Carlisle, Pittsburgh and Stanford. The story goes like this: Homecoming day approached at Lafayette in 1909, and it was up to Dr. Bruce, coaching track there, to top off a banner day of days with an outstanding attraction. He thought immediately of “Pop" and his Indians at Carlisle, not far away. “For $400,” said Pop, “I'll bring the boys over.” Broke Then, Too! That was a staggering sum in a day when $35 was a large guar antee for a track meet. But Dr. Bruce wanted the Indians. He begged what he could of the school funds. He chipped in what he had. Finally he canvassed the sports of the town. On the basis of the magnificent attraction he finally got up the dough. Nervously Dr. Bruce met the train bearing “Pop” and the Indi ans into Lafayette the day before the meet. He had to see for him self $400 worth of talent arriving. The consequences otherwise were too grq.ye even to consider. Five Indians Come “Pop” climbed down the for ward steps of the train and there was ONE Indian with him. Lazily TWO others stepped from the sec ond car. TWO more appeared at the rear of the train.- Dr. Bruce’s temperature rose precipitously. “Hello, ‘Pop’,” he said, trying to make it a hearty greeting. “Where’s the team?” “Don’t worry,” said “Pop," "they'll be here. Let’s go eat.” Words, just words, couldn't salve Dr. Bruce’s peace of mind. All day he pestered "Pop” for in formation. All day “Pop” was evasive. Where Is the Team? In desperation Dr. Bruce went to the college president and ex plained the situation. The presi dent gave definite orders, the gist of which was: "Find out immediately where is that Carlisle track team.” So Dr. Bruce, perspiring freely, came back to "Pop.” "Please, ‘Pop’,” he begged, "where’s the track team ? I’ve got to know.” "They’re here,” said "Pop." "You saw them get of the train with me.” "You mean those FIVE Indi ans ?” gasped Dr. Bruce. "Sure,” said "Pop” eomplacent , ly. "We only want to win the j meet, that’s all." Dr. Bruce heard the last words but faintly, as if from a great dis tance. Thorpe Wasn’t So Slow The next afternoon Warner’s five met 42 members of the Lafay l ette track team. Jim Thorpe won eight first places, and finished second in the 100. Two Indians named Arquette and Tewanima finished one-two in the half mile, mile and two miles, both running ! the latter under ten minutes. , Shenandoah won the quarter-mile j by almost that far. The fifth In ] dian, named Johnson, finished ; second in about everything else, ! The Indians won the meet, 71 to I 31 "For years,” concluded Dr, | Bruce, “we staged meets with the I Indians. We never licked them, j no matter how few they were j Once we tied them, 56-56. "We would have lost then only an Indian named Houser refused to throw the discus. He laid down on the grass and refused to get up. Even 'Pop' couldn't budge him. “ 'No, Pop’," said Houser, ‘1 won’t throw for you today. You 1 haven't been treating me right lately.' " lYlan offered to wager $10. Miku lak managed to scrape up that j amount. Both the contestants were put 1 on the mark and ran 100 yards in their street clothes. The Oregon player won by $20 feet. Paul John Schissler, 1924-1933. Following the resignation of Pop Warner, P. J. Sehissler, head football coach at Oregon State college for Tiine years, enjoyed the title of “Dean of coast conference coaches” for nearly a month. But last week he handed in his resignation. His record for the nine years was 17 victories and 27 defeats, which did not satisfy Orange supporters. My Greatest Thrill in Athletics By BILL MORGAN (As told to Ned Simpson) W CAN'T quite make up my mind 1 which was the bigger thrill— the New York U game in 1931 or game that I just | played in on New [ Year’s day. The former was ^ thrilling because iit was unexpect ed, while the East-West strug gle packed a kick because in it I had my first Bill Morgan cnance LU opposite an all American who played the same position as myself. In the East-West game we were trailing one touchdown at the half. Coming out at the start of the third quarter things began to pick up for us and before we knew it, Hank Schaldach who, incidental ly, scored all 21 of our points— punted out of bounds on the East’s three-yard line. Right there we called our “hop-ta-diddy" play, in which each linesman took care of the man opposing him and pre vented him from going down under their punt. This sure did fuddle them up, and Schaldach ran that kick right back to their four-yard line. From there we punched it over on an off-tackle smash. The big thrill in this case came from the realization that we could shove this gang, mainly composed of all-Americans, anywhere we wanted that we could score on them again and again. This feel ing was strengthened by the fact that they had more or less shoved us around the first canto. Elmer William Morgan, captain of the 1932 Oregon team, started on the path to fame as a member of Prink Callison’s state champion ship Medford high teams back in 1926-7-8. Coming to Oregon in 1929, Bill as he is better known— played two years under “Doc" Spears, and finished up his varsity career under his erstwhile prep mentor, Prink. Morgan was pick ed on numerous all-Coast selec tions his last two seasons, and was given honorary mention on two all-American teams this past season. Two fractured hands kept him from participating in several crucial contests last fall, and his loss was keenly felt by the Web foots. Bill returned from San Francisco last Sunday after play ing a stellar role in the West’s 21-to-13 victory over the East's an olch o. Yesteryear Wednesday, January 13, 1932 In a thrilling second-half rally, the Webfoot hoopers trounced the Cougars of Washington State, 42 to 29. The game was played on the losers' maple floor in Pullman. * * * At a meeting of the A. S. U. O. council, it was thought that golf and tennis may have to be re moved from the list of varsity sports, due to the necessity of slashing the A. S. U. O. budget. * * * Hank Levoff, star Webfoot hoopster, is the leading basketball scorer in the Northwest loop. » * * Donut handball artists continued their activities yesterday, when the Yeomen beat the Fijis and Friendly hall the Pi Kaps.

All of yesterday’s handball games ended in one-sided scores. The Chi Psi quartet gave the La | Casa Filipina boys a through beating, while the Yeoman team repulsed the Delta Tau Delta ag gregation in a like manner. The Chi Psi team composed of J. Travis, W. McCall, J. Wells, and J. Grady took a clean sweep from the Filipino boys, winning the first singles 21-2 and 21-1: the second singles by the forfeit route; the doubles 21-2 and 21-11. La Casa Filipina was represented by E. Oegmpo, H. Manano, B. Anastaio, and V. Espirito. The Yeoman boys repeated the performance of the Chi Psi team by winning the first singles 21-2 and 21-3, the second singles 21-9 Frosh Slated For Hoop Tilt With Yeomen Fearlings To Get Initial Test Saturday Independents To Have Strong Lineup To Battle Rogers’ First Year Quintet By JACK CHINOCK Red Rogers’ freshman basketball team meets its first big test next Saturday afternoon, when it meets the Oregon Yeoman quintet at 4:00 o’clock at the Igloo. The Yeoman five won the intra mural basketball championship last fall, trimming the Betas, 25 to 21, in the finals. They present a well-balanced line-up that the frosh will find it hard to break through. The ineligible freshman hope, Wright, a freshman himself, will start at center for the Yeo men. Another star, Chatterton, captain and forward, is expected to give the yearlings plenty of trouble. Harcombe Frosh Center Against this line-up of stars, Rogers will test his men under fire. The center call will probably go to Bill Harcombe, who is tlje only freshman tall enough to have a chance of getting the tip-off from Wright. Sanford, all-state guard from Salem, is sure to start at one of the guard positions, probably opposite Chatterton. “Stew” Milligan, of freshman football fame, gets the call for the other half of the back court. He will be acting captain for this game, as no regular captain is to be elected this year. Stroble, star forward, will start in one of the forward berths. The other forward will probably be Hampton, who has been switch ed from center to forward, al though there is a chance that Pete Buck may start. Hampton has the advantage of height, while Buck is just a little faster. The game should be close, for the teams are very evenly match ed. The Yeomen have the advan tage of more experience and of having played together longer. Also, they have had plenty of real competition. The frosh, though, have had more practice recently, and have been working on plays. This will do much to overcome any advantage that the Yeomen may have. How the freshmen use the things they have learned will have much to do with the outcome of the game. Probable lineups: Frosh Position Yeomen Stroble .F._ (C) Chatterton Hampton .F. Kjesness Harcombe .C. Wright Milligan (C) .G. Watson Sanford .G. Inman and 21-12. The independents won in the doubles 21-3 and 21-12. Sol and A1 Schneider, Paul Hughes, and K. Card played exceptionally good games for the winners. Heed Swenson, F. Leis, D. Law, and P. Sullivan made up the team repre senting Delta Tau Delta. Mueller Will Address Socialist Organization The Socialist club will be ad dressed by Professor John Mueller, who will discuss “Is America So cialized?” at their next meeting.

Students Present KOAC Musicale Beginning last night’s 8 o’clock radio program over KOAC, Victor Bryant sang Franz’s short melo dious “Maedchen mit dem rothen Muendchen” and one of Schu mann’s loveliest compositions, “Die Lotosblume.” Edith Grim, pianist, presented Bach's “Fantasy in C-major.” Her second number, “Ftigaudon” by Raff, was of a light spriteful character. Two Chopin numbers, “Nocturne in F-major” and “Scherzo from the B-minor Sonata,” concluded Miss Grim’s part of the program. Mr. Bryant finished the program with Rasbach's “Wanderer's Song,” a musical expression of the wanderer’s yearning for the sea. Seniors of High School To Give Play Saturday The senior class of the Univer sity high school will give the com edy, “The Queen’s Husband” Sat urday evening at 8:15 in the school auditorium. It is being directed by Donald Confrey. The play, from the pen of Rob ert E. Sherwood, has just finished a run in San Francisco by a Lon don company and was termed by critics as “the hit of the bay re gion.” SIGMA DELTA PSI HAS NYE AS NEW CHAPTER MEMBER National Athletic Honorary Open To All Who Pass Series Of All-Around Tests The latest all-around athlete to win his entrance into Sigma Delta Psi, national athletic honorary, is Clarence H. Nye. Nye not only won his membership, but also shat tered a long-standing record in one of the events, the football punt. Sigma Delta Psi, according to Russell K.
