VOLUME XXXIVUNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1933 Page 4 Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY WANTED: One basketball cen ter, not under six feet five inches in heieht. The taller the It really is a shame that Ore gon hasn’t a center tall enough to get a few tip-offs in Coast conference | games. Cap Rob 11 erts, with his six 1 feet two inches. is about three Bill Reinhart inches shorter than all other centers in the north ern division. Grenier of Idaho, Gordon of Washington, Anton cich of Washington, and Lewis of Oregon State are ail six feet five inches and over. Oregon has not had a pivot man tall enough to compete with other centers for several years, and there are none in prospect at the present time. * * * For the benefit of those who may doubt the crying need of a bean-pole on the Webfoot team, witness what happened only this week. In the second game with Idaho Wednesday night, Grenier got 45 out of 50 tip offs. That’s a handicap to any team, I don’t care how good it is. It means Aat the shorter players have to wait until the other quintet misses a shot or otherwise loses the ball. It gives them little chance to start off and pile up a lead. * * * This is intended in no way at all as an alibi for Oregon’s showing on the present trip, although many would doubtless like one. To date, Oregon has lost six games and won none. As this is written before the results of the first Oregon-Washington State game it may be seven. No, I don’t think Oregon needs any alibi. From ac counts of the games played against Idaho the Webfoots played hard, fast ball. The Vandals evi dently were “on” those nights. The high scoring of Barett and Wicks proves that. In no game this year has Oregon been snowed under by any huge scores. * * * For several seasons it has been a characteristic of Rein hart teams to start the season slowly and end with a rush. Last year Oregon pulled up to almost a .500 standing after starting in the basement with Idaho. This year is certainly no excep tion. It must be admitted, however, that Oregon is taking its own sweet time about snapping out of the early season stuge. Per haps the cold weather retarded its development. No matter how low In the standings the Webfoots are when they return, I’m willing to bet that Oregon will win one, or even two, games from Oregon State. Since Slats Gill has beon coach at Corvallis the Beavers have never taken a series from Reinhart's teams. No matter how different the odds, the Webfoots ulways manage to pull through with two or three victories. For the past two years the series have been split. The Orangemen would like nothing better than to take a series. This year is perhaps their best opportunity. But the bet still holds—just so it isn’t over two-bits or one of George God frey's theater passes. Are you there, Forrester? CLASSIFIED LOST Oil STOLEN—Two note books from car Tuesday.

By BEN BACK It seems that when Coach “Fer die” Fletcher, of the Phi Delt “B” volleyball team, throws, his new flashy hat on the floor it's a sign for his outfit to get going. At least that’s what happened in one of the donut frays on last night’s schedule. The going was getting rough for his charges, up against ra flashy Pi Kappa Alpha, when he suddenly whipped his brand new hat off and threw it on the floor. After that occurrence it was a real treat to watch the Phi Delt com bination go after the Pi Kaps. Needless to say, the Phi Delts won both games. The International house sextet lost to S. A. E., but not until they had convulsed the spectators with their clever clowning. The S. A. E. outfit was kept on their toes by the clever play of their smaller opponents. Delta Tau Delta took two games from Phi Sigma Kappa who also made a good showing in yester day’s games. The Delts won through their ability to pass bet ter at critical points of the game. Leading the attack for Lhe Delta Tau Delta outfit were Lees and Swenson who played good ball. The best "A" league game this season was the one A. T. O. and Phi Sigma Kappa indulged in last night. So close was the score of the third game that players and spectators were constantly thrilled by some new impossible play which just saved the game. The third game was finally won by Phi Sig ma Kappa mainly through the ef forts of lanky Jack Miller. Pi Kappa Alpha’s representative in the “A” league won its two games from Sigma Phi Epsilon. In the “B" league the SPE’s won a game by forfeit from Gamma hall. UCLA Hoopsters Wallop Stanford PALO ALTO, Cal., Jan. 27— (Special)- The U. C. L. A. bas ketball team dumped the Stanford Indians into the cellar of the southern division standings of the Coast conference tonight by trouncing the losers, 44 to 36. Led by the irresistible scoring thrusts of Don Piper, the Bruins tallied 14 points before the Stan fordites found the hoop. The gap was closed at half time, which found the Uelans leading, 23 to 16. Piper was high-point man of the tilt with 15 counters, followed closely by Topping of the Indians with 14. WISCONSIN HAS TWO BRANCHES IN CONTROL (Continued from Page One) connection with it. Because of the numerous divisions into which the officers of this board may be di vided, it lias been made larger than the others. The student daily newspaper, the Cardinal, is under the board of that name. The Badger board oversees the publication of the year book. The other two boards are self-explanatory. Comment ing on the operation of the stu dent boards, Scott H. Goodnight, dean of men at Wisconsin, says: "These carry on their functions quite independently of the faculty committees, except that they must conform to some general univer sity policies formulated by the lat ter.” This, and the fact that the sys tem has been allowed to continue in a state with such a reputation for progressiveness in political matters, indicated that it has been found successful. Although without a regular fenc ing coach, Washington university has scheduled matches with four Big Ten schools. The rule c o m p e 11 i n g Texas 1 league umpires to wear bow ties is traced to an altercation in which a coach almost chocked an umpire by yanking on his four-in hand.

JVeit_1 TyEW YORK, Jan. 27—(API — ’ into the office of Jimmy John ston in Madison Square Garden walked a very large man, a short briar pipe in his teeth, the tangi est of tweeds encasing his ample frame. A rakish gray cap, in per fect style for a careless, much traveled man of the world, perched jauntily above his tanned features. “My word,” gasped Jimmy Johnston. “A blooded gentleman, no less.” “Quit the clowning,” rasped Jack Sharkey, heavyweight cham pion of the world. “Everybody wears duds like these in Ber muda." He walked the floor with meas ured tread, viciously puffing the briar pipe that somehow belied the I outfit. It was a new pipe. Theryj was nothing of the burned curve! at the top, the dullness of the fin-1 ish, the thickfiess of the cake | within the bowl that goes with an old and soothing smoking friend, and somehow gives innocent by standers the understanding and strength to live in its presence. Silently he walked for several minutes. Then Sharkey de manded : “When do those two muggs fight?” “I take it,” said Johnston politely, “you're referring to the two gentlemen who will war for the right to fight you. The date is February 10.” “They’re still muggs," said Sharkey. "And which mugg do you think will win?” asked Johnston, capi tulating. Sharkey took his fighting stance. “Well, I’ll tell you,” he said. "This Camera is a very strong fellow. He jabs good to the head —like this. He popped me on the forehead with it and he hurt. When I tried to move him around he was too big, too powerful.” * * * "I know,” said Johnston. "I saw the fight. But who’ll win?” “I’m trying to tell you,” said Sharkey. “Don’t interrupt. Now SjCftaaf is strong too, but he’s so dumb you never know whether he’ll do what he’s told. If he’d follow instructions Schaaf would knock him out.” ' Whereupon Sharkey, who owns half of Schaaf's contract, hitched the cap at just the proper angle, refueled the briar, and moved or^ to Boston, letting the matter rest there. * 4: 4> In his way this sailorman is as colorful as any fighter in history. Some of his reasoning processes have been all but unbelievable. More than half a dozen years | ago, just starting up the heavy weight ladder, he fought Sailor Eddie Huffman in the Garden. It was a bad fight. It seemed. as though he should have knocked Huffman out. Someone said Huff man was in the navy with Shar key. Insinuations grew. Finally the boxing commission called in Sharkey for questioning. Sharkey faced his inquisitors in dignantly. “Where,” he demanded, “did you ever get the idea I could fight much ? Who did I ever knock out? Why should I knock out Huffman? It’s a wonder he didn’t belt me out.” There was nothing for an amazed commission to do but gasp and wave him out. There could be no quibbling with such frank ness.

Red Rogers used every player on the squad in anticipa tion of the rook game next week. The whole team is speeded up, and playing better ball, both offens ively and defensively. This afternoon at 3:30, the year lings will scrimmage the strong DeNeffe outfit again. Last Wed nesday the frosh almost took the independents, being snowed under only in the last few minutes of play. Rogers expects to use the entire squad in this game, so that he can get a better slant on the players. The yearling plans have been greatly upset by the announce ment yesterday of Doug Ward's ineligibility. Rogers has been counting heavily on him for relief work in one of the guard positions. Ward is the second first class man to be called ineligible this season. Gordon Wright, star cen ter, was declared ineligible earlier this term. The loss of both men is a heavy blow to the yearlings' chance to drop the rooks this year. Duke University SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURHAM, N. C. Four terms of eleven weeks are given each year.

South To Let Athletes Play Summer Ball Semi-Pro Baseball Not To Bar Players Southern Conference Action First Sign of Tolerance in College Rules on Amateurism ATLANTA (AP)— Southern and Southeastern conference athletes no longer will have to worry over the summer baseball rule which limited their participation in vaca tion time. Last year, and for several years previously, southern conference rules said an athlete could not play more than three games a week during the summer on semi-profes sional baseball teams. Three Games Set An athlete who played in three games was an amateur: one who played four games was a profes sional and ineligible for college competition. The Southern conference at its January meeting eliminated this summer baseball regulation and Southeastern officials have said it also would be stricken from their lists. The Southeastern loop is composed of 13 teams which with drew from the old 23-member Southern conference two months ago. Actions Not Confined Athletes must not -play on any team recognized by the National Baseball commission, but other wise their actions are not confined. As a result, athletes may play on semi-pro teams as often as they desire this summer and pick up as much money to help pay their tui tion next fall as they can. One prominent athlete, Julian Foster of Vanderbilt, was ruled out in the middle of last football season because <k was charged he had played in more than three games. However, the Southeast ern conference at its first meeting re-instated him and he has been one of Vandy’s leading basketball stars this season. Vital News!
