Nobody’s
Business
By BRUCE HAMBY
rrvwO days ago I started a yarn
about "Long Tom” Picked, for
mer ad-American basketball cen
ter at Arkansas and now starring
for the Wichita Henrys, national
champions. By mistake the ar
ticle was cut when the pressmen
discovered the sports copy was too
heavy. Here's the story.
It seems Picked was being in
structed in some fancy one-handed
shots by another member of the
Henry team at a practice session.
Picked watched his volunteer in
structor solemnly for a short
while, then picked up the bad,
bounced it on the floor, and drop
kicked it through the net. He
then bounced it through from the
floor and for his third shot tossed
the ball high above the rafters in
the ceiling. The ball didn’t touch
the rim as it swished the net.
* * *
When I first noticed the above
story about Picked I rewrote it
only for the freakiness of the
shots, never thinking that any
one here might know of him.
But yesterday I received a note
from Dean J. R. Jewell of Ihe
school of education stating he
would like to hear the story.
Before coming to Oregon, Dean
Jewell lived across the street
from the Pickells. “Long Tom,”
he tells me, isn’t the only all
American in the family, for his ■
brother, Elbert, also was given
all-American mention while at
Arkansas. Another was chosen
on all-Southwest teams and a
still younger brother is now on
the freshman team at the Uni
versity of Arkansas.
* # *
While we’re clearing up odd3
and ends, here’s the remainder
and most important part of the
story about Mikulak winning ten
(10) dollars on the way to Louisi
ana. Mik wasn’t taking many
chances when he bet the U. C. L.
A. player that Oregon has a faster
football player than the Uclans.
Paul Starr ran for Oregon and
won by 20 feet.

Jim Watts Added to Injured List With Bruised Knee
-* 1
Guard To Be
Out For Time
Says Mentor
Stevens, Kunkle Not Likely
To Play Against Huskies
U. O. in Bud Way as High-Scoring
Champions Head to Eugene
For Conference Games
By BILL EBERHART
When Bill Reinhart orders knee
guards from now on he's going to
buy them by the gross. At pres
ent he is minus
five members of
the regular 10
man squad due to
injured knees.
The latest addi
tion to the “bad
knee” brigade
was Jim Watts,'
letterman guard,
who injured his
knee in practice
Tuesday nignt
Jim Watts atMj wjn be out
of the series with Washington.
Along with Watts are Kerm
Stevens and Ed Kunkle, who, ac
cording to Bill Reinhart, will not
get in either of the games this
week-end. Bob Miller and Bill
Berg both have been troubled with
their leg joints all season.
The loss of Watts leaves the
Webfoots in an even worse hole
than they have been in so far this
year. Only Roberts, Olinger and
Robertson remain in first class
shape, and both Roberts and Rob
ertson are getting over colds.
Stevens, Kunkle Missed
Reinhart stated last night that
he would be able to determine to
night if either Stevens or Kunkle
will be able to play. Stevens, two
year letterman, will be missed for
his fighting offensive playing,
while Kunkle’s six feet four in
ches of height will be needed
badly against the high scoring
Huskies.
Leading the invading Huskies is
Johnny Fuller, all-coast forward
and high scorer in the double
slaughter of Idaho last week. Ful
ler will be teamed with the dead
eye Harold Lee at forward. Pete
Antoncich, six foot five inch cen
ter, is filling the pivot post. Last
year Antoncich proved a flop due
to his awkwardness, but reports
from Seattle indicate that he has
improved mightily this year.
The guard berths are held by
two veterans, Joe Weber and Bob
Heaman. In case Lee is kept out
of the lineup, Jack Hanover will
start at forward. Lee returned to
school only this term and is not
yet in tip-top shape. Other mem
bers of the Husky squad making
the trip will be Mark Antoncich,
Virg Perry, Ed Ostling, and either
Bob Galer, Dick Cook, or Don
Wyman. They will arrive in Eu
gene Friday.
OLYMPIC HERO TO WITH
DRAW FROM ATHLETICS
(Continued from Page One)
the country honored Hill as one
of the greatest of amateur athletes
by placing him third from the top
in their poll to select the athlete
“who had done most for the ad
vancement of sportsmanship in
amateur competition during the
year of 1932."
Hill's retirement will probably
not mean that he will give up run
ning entirely. Now he will confine
his activities to exhibitions and
practice, “just for the sport of it,"
to use the words of Colonel Bill
Hayward, veteran University
track coach and tutor of Hill
throughout his college career and
later.
When contacted last night Hay
ward said that the news of his
star pupil's retirement from fur
ther competition was not a sur
prise to him. He had received sev
eral letters from Hill on the sub
ject, stating that it was about
time he (Hill) got down to work
since he thought his highest ambi
tions in the field of athletics had
been realized.
NO BALL, IS VERDICT OF
SCABBARD AND BLADE
(Continued from Pe.ge One)
have been made for holding a for
mal affair for members and pledg
es of the military honorary and
army officers in Eugene.
Among possibilities considered
by the organization were: a ball
supported by subscription of the :
members and a few invited guests: |
joining with reserve and national j
guard officers of Eugene in giving j
a ball; giving an open affair with i
the number of tickets limited. It
evas decided that all of these would
place too much of a burden on the
members in meeting the expenses
jf music, hall and decorations.

My Greatest Thrill in Athletics j
By JOHNNY KITZMILLER
(As told In Med Simpson)
rpHIS, dear public, is the story of
“■my greatest thrill! Realizing
the interest that you have shown
in the many in
t terviews given by
me to the press
L of the nation, I
'hasten to say
L that the greatest
— absolutely the
most unique —
thrill that I have
ever experienced
in all my experi
ence in athletics
was the one I re
ceived when Bill
Reinhart and I
' *' beat Tom Stod
Johnny dard and Bob
Kitzmiller Officer for the
handball championship of the
Igloo!
For many months Reinhart and
myself had been battling vainly
against this great team of hand
ballers, and it took long and ar
duous hours of practice before we
could accomplish our purpose.
When finally the great day ar
rived for our big challenge match,
we were in the finest mettle imag
inable. Our psychological setup
was just right, for we hajl been
repeatedly told that "we didn’t
have a chance.”
The championship was to be de
cided in two out of three games.
(Needless to say, we won two.)
The first game was a long and bit
terly contested match of shill and
wits, but my wonderful pick-up
shot off the back wall finally saved
the day, and we won—21-19. In
the second game we fared rather
badly—we put up a fine battle
nevertheless — and succumbed 21
to 3. The final game started, and
we—determined not to go down to
bitter defeat again—played such a
hard, clean game that Officer and
Stoddard were powerless against
us. The score was 22 to 20.
And that, dear public, is how I
(paired with Bill Reinhart) beat
Bob' dfficer and Tom Stoddard for
the championship of the Igloo.
Ahem!
Johnny Kitzmiller, one of Ore
gon's greatest gridiron heroes,
hailed from Harrisburg, Pennsyl
vania, where he was a star in base
ball, basketball, and football. At
Oregon he played two years under
"Cap” McEwan and finished his
varsity career as captain of the
Webfoots under the great “Doc”
Spears. "KHz” was selected for
all-coast on virtually every selec
tion made. He captained the West
team in the annual Snriner East
West game on New Year's day,
1931. Johnny played one season of
professional football with the New
York Giants club, and was regard
ed as one of the best halfbacks in
professional ranks. Last fall he
was assistant coach under Prink
Callison, having charge of the
backfield.

President Spencer Proposes Idea;
A. S. V. W. Struggles To Avert
Possible Bankruptey
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 18 —
(Special) Sweeping adjustment
adjustment of Washington’s physi
cal education, intramural sports
and intercollegiate athletic pro
grams and centralization of the
three under the athletic director
were indicated this week by Presi
dent M. Lyle Spencer as probable
results of adoption of faculty con
trol over the associated students.
Transfer to the administration
of responsibility for the A. S. U.
W. organization was recommended
by Dr. Spencer this week in his
report to the board of regents.
Faculty Control Eyed
“Intercollegiate and intramural
sports are educational and should
be under faculty direction,” he
stated. “All others, which are not
educational in nature, belong to
the students.”
“Activities like the Varsity Ball,
the A. W. S., the Junior Prom, and
other functions which belong sole
ly to the students should be under
complete student control,” Dr.
Spencer said. “They will be if the
proposed plan is adopted.”
Any possibility of faculty or al
umni domination, he explained,
will be eliminated under the pro
posed plan. “I am attempting to
turn over student activities to stu
dents and educational activities to
the faculty.”
The graduate manager's office
would be retained under the new
system, Dr. Spencer said, as pro
motion and handling of athletic
events would still be necessary.
To avert bankruptcy of the A. S.
U. W-. the same report recom
mended, it will be necessary for
the faculty to assume control of
the corporation, and purchase out
standing bonds through diversion
of $200,000 from University rent
als derived from city property.

_
MOORESVILLE, N. C„ Jan. 18.
(AP>—You have heard of brothers
on the same football team or on
opposing elevens, but how about i
brother referees sharing a job in
the same game ? And they the
rival coaches, too!
C. Y. Hood is Mooresville coach.
His brother, Tom Hood, is the
Mount Ulla mentor. There’s great
rivalry between the two schools,
and as time approached for their
annual duel it was found that no
arrangements had been made for a
referee.
A desperate search failed to lo
cate an official. So the brothers
agreed to take turns refereeing. !
The game ended in a scoreless
tie.
And everybody was satisfied—
at least with the officials.

Coach George Scott said that
during his 21 years as mentor at

By RALPH MASON
Red Head Returns
After a prolonged absence from
the screen, the incomparable red
head, Clara Bow, returns in what
is described as a smashing hit en
titled “Call Her Savage.” Here
tofore Miss Bow has played all
sort of roles, good, bad, and de
cidedly worse, but this time, be
lieve it or not, she is a mother!
Don’t let this worry you too much,
for the news is that she plays a
thoroughly emotional role.
The story has all the good and
old elements of a movie play
wright’s conception of a perfect
romance to all appearances. First
there is the home life. Miss Bow’s
dad is capable of running a rail
road but he can't manage his
daughter. She leaves home and
gets “impulsively” married. Aw
heck, you know the rest as well as
we do.
Supporting Clara are Thelma
Todd, Estelle Taylor, Gilbert Rol
and and a few other characters
who try unsuccessfully to compete
with her. “Call Her Savage”
opens at the McDonald today for
a three-day run.

“Movie Crazy”
Simple faced, bespectacled Har

Said to be his best vehicle since
the immortal “Freshman,” “Movie
Crazy” contains all the comedy
making elements of the famous
Lloyd formula. One distinct
change in the modus operandi
(two-bits please) in this film is
that Lloyd makes the gags in
stead of the gags making him.
There are so many gags that you
feel like going ga-ga-.

YEARLINGS BEAT
FRUIT GROWERS
BY SINGLE POINT
Rogers’ Squad Looks Good Against
Independent Five, Winning
By 18-17 Score
By JACK CHINNOCK
The freshman basketeers upset
the Eugene Fruit Growers yester
day in a short but fast game, 18
to 17. A last minute rally by the
Growers almost turned the tables,
and the missing of an easy shot
by Ingrahm Kjosness with only
seconds to go decided the final
outcome. •
The frosh broke into the scoring
column in the first minute of the
game, when Pete Buck got loose
under the basket and pushed in a
cripple. A minute later Stew Mil
ligan scored.
The independent team got or
ganized, and baskets by Thom and
Kjosness put them in the lead.
The lead alternated between the
two teams, till about five minutes
before half time, when Buck went
on a scoring spree to ring up three
baskets, putting the frosh ahead
16 to 9 at the half.
The second half, which was cut
down to only eight minutes, was
all in favor of the Growers. Glen
Sanford scored early in the half,
but that ended the yearling scor
ing. With only about three min
utes to play, Jacobs ran wild to
score four baskets, cutting the
freshman lead down to one point.
Kjosness had a shot from under
the basket, but he missed it, giv
ing the frosh the decision, for
there wasn’t enough time for an
other try.
Outstanding for the yearlings
was Buck, who scored 12 of hi3
team’s total of 18 points. Har
combe and Milligan were the pil
lars of defense, breaking up plays
and taking the ball off the back
board whenever the Growers
missed. Rogers’ team plays St.
Mary’s in a preliminary game Fri
day night, and hopes to get re
venge for the defeat handed them
by the Saints earlier in the year. |
