to the athletes
whose muscular
coordination was
better than their
mental coopera
t i o n . It now
seems that the
commerce
course, ex of
Oregon State, is
in this same
category.
This compari
son is s t i m u -
latcd by the column in yesterday’s
Oregon State Barometer, written
by Bud Forrester, sports editor,
in which he declares that unless
the commerce school is returned
to the Corvallis campus, Oregon
State will be forced to leave the
Pacific Coast conference or pos
sibly abolish football.
He bases this rather startling
conclusion on evidence collected
from other conference Institutions
which “conclusively deducts that
athletes generally turn to busi
ness administration courses while
attending college.” Athletes at
the Corvallis school must now
take vocational education, con
sisting of home economics, science
or engineering. Business admini
stration and physical education
are at Eugene and they can’t get
Into those schools.
* * *
Having an inquiring turn of
mind, Bill Eberhart of the Em
erald sports staff looked up the
majors of the 25 Oregon foot
ball players making letters this
year. Of those 25, only 5 were
In the business administration
school. Eleven were majoring
in social science, which takes in
economics, geography, history,
philosophy, political science,
psychology and sociology. Seven
are in the school of physical
education, and one each in phy
sical science and humanities,
Which includes English, langu
ages, music and art.
* * *
I agree with Forrester when he
says that a majority of athletes
come to school only to play foot
ball. There's nothing secret about
that. Few of them are interested
in learning a profession. They
come to a certain school because
they’re asked to. From an edu
cational standpoint it's a pity -
but what can be done about it ?
Not all athletes are forced to
take poultry-raising or business
administration. Some of the
most famous sports champions
of the country have been Phi
Betes or honor students. Recent
heroes of the gridiron whom I
can remember are Hank Schal
dach, of California and East
West fame, who is an honor stu
dent in the Berkeley law school.
Ray Sparling, U. S. C. end, is an
honor student in a classical
course. Another Trojan end of
a few years ago, Francis Tap
paan, is an ex-president of the
Southern California law school.
* * *
Older athletes who were able to
Struggle through something be
sides music appreciation, cooking,
and courses in which they learn
how to multiply and subtract all
over again include Jock Suther
land, coach at Pittsburgh, who has
a framed M.D. diploma; Doc
Spears, an honor student in medi
cine at both Rush medical school
and Dartmouth; and Arnold Hor
ween, ex-coach at Harvard, who
graduated in law. Going back
further, still we find Christy (Big
£ix I Mathewson, most famous
baseball hero of all time, who was
an honor student at Bueknell.
Llewellyn M a r t i n d a 1 e (Biff)
Jones, former Army mentor and
now at Louisiana, was an honor
student at West Point and that
means something.
* * *
No, I don't believe Oregon
State football is going to the
dogs because of the lack of a
school of commerce. It's far
more probable that the gradual
decline of John Paul Schissler
had much more to do with it.
For example, if Mr. Michael
Percarovich, now of Gonzaga,
should pack his baggage and
move to Corvallis to take up
the football coaching duties,
many students would enter
without even determining
whether Oregon State teaches
courses in the English language
or Egyptian heiroglyphics.

Story in New York Paper Shows
(ieneral Curtailment of
Activity Expenses
(Editor's note: The following
is reprinted from the New York
Times to show Emerald readers
the curtailment trend now mak
ing its effect felt in virtually ev
ery college athletic plant in
America.)
The drastic action taken by Cor
nell and Syracuse in canceling al
most the entire remainder of their
intercollegiate sports program for
the curricular year and by the
board of stewards of the Intercol
legiate Rowing association in call
ing off the Poughkeepsie regratta
for 1933, served to awaken the
East to the extent to which the de
pression has hit the exchequers of
some of the college athletic asso
ciations in this section of the coun
try.
But, although the conditions ob
taining in the East are cause for
some concern, they are not nearly
so serious as are the problems with
whicli athletic directors find them
selves confronted in most of the
other sections of the country.
Reports received yesterday by
The New York Times from its cor
respondents in key points of the
collegiate world show that except
in the Rocky mountain area, where
there has never been any football
inflation and where the falling off
in revenue from football has not
had such serious consequences, col
lege athletics are felling the pineli
of the financial stringency on a
more extensive scale than in this
area.
Urban Schools Least Affected
The Associated Press, in its re
cent survey of the East, found that
colleges more remote from the
large centers of population were
affected to the greatest degree by
the falling off in receipts, and this
is borne out by the findings of the
national symposium.
Southern California at Los An
geles, for instance, had its biggest
football receipts in history in 1932,
while Stanford, at Palo Alto, and
California, at Berkeley, suffered a
drop in revenue.
In every section except the
Rocky mountains, while there has
been no concert of action in aban
doning sports, schedules have been
curtailed, salaries and personnels
have been reduced, squad rosters
have been cut down and other
economies effected in order to bal
ance budgets.
At some colleges activities have
had to be suspended in both major
and minor sports and one of the
most serious burdens placed upon
some of the institutions is the car
rying of heavily mortgaged stadia
built in boom years.
Reports from various sections of
the country, outside the East, fol
low:

CHICAGO Finances continue
to worry the directors of athletics
of the Western conference. The in
dividual problems are said to be
more serious than any one in au
thority has been willing to admit,
so serious, in fact, that dropping
out of competition in non-self-sup
porting competition will not solve
them.
Purdue came through the foot
ball season with the best financial
record in the conference, making
more money than it did in 1031.
Michigan's total attendance was
within -1,000 of the preceding year,
but the income did not maintain
the average, due to price reduc
tions. Northwestern was hard hit
last fall. Its football receipts were
$130,000 under Director Wilson's
budget estimate.
At Iowa the stadium is a mill
stone on the athletic department
and attendance has fallen to al
most negligible numbers, Illinois
now is embarrassed to meet cur
rent bills because it has $37,000
tied up by bank failures. While
Camp Randall stadium is paid for,

Kentucky Derby Favorite
One of the prospective favorites at the annual running of the Kentucky Derby this year will be Leo
Rosenberg’s Kerry Patch, winner in the rich Belmont Futurity, He is one of the biggest money winners
among the younger horses anil it Is considered possible that he may succeed Col. E. R. Bradley’s Burgoo
King as the Derby winner.
Wisconsin's new field house offers
a pressing financial problem.
Ohio State paid for its stadium
three years ago, but its new nata

about $333,000, is causing the in
stitution trouble.
Wisconsin has dropped its crew,
and Wisconsin, Michigan and Min
nesota have dropped hockey.
Drastic (kits on Coast
SAN FRANCISCO With re
ceipts for football and other sports
well below estimated budget state
ments, colleges on the Pacific
coast and particularly those in the
Pacific Coast conference already
have made drastic cuts.
The University of California has
decided not to send a track and
field team to the I. C. A. A. A. A.
meet and even before the Pough
keepsie race was abandoned, had
recommended not to send the
Golden Bears to the Hudson.
On top of a salary cut of 5 per
cent some months ago for all em
ployes, California voted an addi
tional 10 per cent reduction, and
even coaches who are under con
tract will be asked to accept this.
University of Southern Califor
nia at Los Angeles is the only one
of the larger institutions announc
ing that' there will be no curtail
ment'of athletic events and that
salaries will not be reduced.
Incidentally, Southern California
made more money from football
in 1932 than in the previous year.
The conference is seriously con
sidering elimination of broadcasts
of all football games and will vote
on this matter at the June meet
ing in Spokane.

good use by both teams.
Kunkle Looks Good
As usual, Cap Roberts was the
star for Oregon. Stevens showed i
plenty of fight throughout the1
game, and Oiinger, except for1
numerous missed cripples, kept;
the Webfoots in the running. Ed (
Kunkle, playing for the first time [
under Oregon colors, showed plen
ty of class and his height 'aided j
greatly in the Webfoot offensive.!
He tired easily, however, and was j
replaced by Bill Berg, who made
up for lack of polish with vigorous
attacking.
Washington showed what Ore
gon has seemed to lack this year
-—long shots. The Webfoots were j
forced to work hard for their
points, while the Huskies wasted j
no time in going to work. Hec
Edmundson’s theory that a high
powered offense makes up for lack
of tight defense was clearly
demonstrated in the first period. |
The Huskies showed no organized,
defense at all, but relied on their
early lead.
The two teams meet again to
night in the second game of the
series. The game starts at 7:30.

Little St. Mary’s Five Puts t'p Big
Fight, But Can’t Stop Drives
Of Milligan, Sanford
By BILL EBERHART
In a rough, ragged game of bas
ketball, a preliminary to the Ore
gon-Washington. tilt last night,
the 1933 edition of freshman hoop
sters defeated St. Mary’s school,
34 to 20.
With the poorest material in
years, the frosh team showed a
lack of polish that was evident
from start to finish. Time and
again they threw the ball away
or into a St. Mary’s player’s
hands. Even at that, they showed
vast improvement over their last
showing in which they were beat
en by St. Mary’s.
The frosh got off to an early
10-point lead and held it until the
half, when the score was 21 to 12
Their height advantage put the
ball into their possession most oi
the time, but they missed shot
after shot and repeatedly lost the
ball.when it came off the back
board.
Center Position Troubles
Coach Red Rogers is worried
over his center position. Bit
Harcombe play'ed fair ball at tha1
post last night, but his lack ol
experience holds him back. He
has a bad habit of apparently go
ing to sleep on the floor and only
the shouts of his teammates kepi
him from getting smacked in the
face by the ball on numerous oc
casions. Bill has improved thu
season and promises to look bette:
in the next encounter.
Maxwell, St. Mary’s sub, adder
four points to his team’s total ir
short order early in the game
Soon after he entered the game he
cast off from the corner without
breaking his stride and the ball
rimmed the basket and finally
fell through. The next time he
got the ball he let one go from
center-court and it went through
without a murmur.
Harcombe was high point mac
of the game with four cripples and
a free throw for a total of nine
Buck, forward, garnered 8, San
ford 7, and Guthrie, St. Mary’s
center, 6.
James Looks Good
James, former Bend high school
star, entered the game near the
close of the first half and showed
more promise than any of the oth
ers. He has a nice fast break
which gave him two buckets and
he earned many other shots which
barely missed the basket.

The average senior is 20 years
9 months old, is 5 feet 7 1-2 inches
tall and weighs 152 pounds. He
smokes and gambles and has been
in love once.
Politically he is non-partisan
with strong Socialist leanings. He
is thoroughly convinced of the val
ue of a college education, but is
not fi.t all sure that he would send
his own son to City College. Over
whelmingly of the opinion that a
Phi Beta Kappa key is preferable
to a major athletic letter, he is
skeptical as to the worth of cam
pus fraternities.
In the morning he reads The
New York Times, favoring it by a
vote of more than four to one over
its nearest competitor, while in the
evening he turns to The New York
World Telegram. His favorite
magazine is The Literary Digest
and he prefers Mercury, college
comic, to any \nher undergraduate
publication.
His best-liked novelist is W.
Somerset Maugham, but he thinks
"The Good Earth" the finest novel
of the year. In the field of poetry
he prefers the work of Shelby; on
the stage, those of Eugene O'Neill.
He was impressed by “Of Thee I

Aristotle, Shakespeare, Da Vin
