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?

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.

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.

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.

ON THE f"
SIDELINES
_bn Edward J. 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.

Yearlings Have
Tough Drill As
Rook Game Nears
Game With DeNeffe’s Is Set for
This Afternoon; Ward Is
Said Ineligible
Oregon’s yearling basketball
squad went through a hard work
out yesterday srimraaging
against the super-varsity for over
an hour. 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.

Summer Ball
Semi-Pro Baseball Not To

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.
