VOLUME XXXIV_UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1933_Page^4 Nobody’s By BRUCE HAMBY JS OREGON going to snap out oi it and win some basketball games this year? Hard to tell, but Bill Reinhart thinks so and he should know. Hie reasoning is log ical — this weeh will be Oregon’s first rest since the C h r i stmas holidays. It will give the numer ous battered and bruised players on the squad a mink invert cnance t,o get in to shape without the worry of a game next week-end. Reinhart didn’t try to alibi for the four defeats sustained on last week’s road trip. But he did men tion a few things which certainly didn't help the team any. In the first place, according to Bill, Cap Roberts was in shape to play only one first class ball game and that was the last of the trip, against Washington State. Cap was sick all week, but as the Webfoots are minus any man tall enough to jump against the pivot men of the conference, he had to play through every game. * * * Despite his sickness, however, Cap and Gib Olingcr played the best ball shown on the trip. Olin ger turned in a fine performance in every game, according to the returning players. Hermit Ste vens played brilliantly in two or three of the games. His best night was the first game against the Cougars, when he sank seven long ones in the second half. * * * Here’s one answer to what's wrong with the Webfoots this year. As it comes from Bill Rein hart it should be authentic. Last year, says Bill, Oregon had both Windy Calkins and Hank Levoft to bring the ball down the floor on offensive plays. That left Roberts and the other forwards with time to get under the basket, This year only Cap and Stevens have had the experience to set up plays. As Stevens has not beer playing regularly, this has lefl most of the work to Cap. All oi which makes him both a center and guard. If players were on hand to start the plays and Cap could get in under the basket it would give the Webfoots a much smoother and better working scor ing outfit. w * m L. H. Gregory comments it: yesterday’s Oregonian: “Evidently they’re chemically pure enough at Eugene to satisfy even Jonathan Butler and how do you like it 1 Better forget abstract ethics and go proselyting for some players before the state board of higher education is petitioned to abolish basketball at Oregon as a super fluous sport.” * * * Gregory is right when he says that Oregon’s basketball team i* pure. Not one member of the team is on a scholarship. True, some of thenr have jobs, but ac cording to Mr. Butler, that is all right. Why the players haven't scholarships is easily accounted for. There aren’t enough to go around after the football player* are taken care of. So if Mr. Gre gory can suggest some manner to raise a few choice basketball scholarships, I’m sure Bill Rein hart would be glad to do the work of looking up the players. | Varsity Service Station For Quality and Excellent Service 13th and Hilyard Dr. Sherman W.

Oregon Sinks Lower Due To Bad Week-End Huskies Hold Commanding Lead in North Washington State in Second Place Following Double Win; Trojans lead Southern Loop It Looks Bad _ W. L. Pet. | Washington . 5 1 .833 I Washington State 6 3 .667 1 Oregon State 5 3 .635 Idaho .3 4 .439 Oregon 0 8 .000 With Oregon's basketball squad back home after losing all four games of its first northern inva sion this season, things look pret ty dark in the Webfoot camp. The defeats, two from Idaho and two at the hands of the W. S. C. Cou gars, raise the Ducks’ string of losses to eight straight, and leave them in undisputed possession of the bottom rung in the northern division ladder. It looks like another Washington year in the Northwest, and the Huskies are already well on their way to their sixth straight pen nant. Hec Edmundson’s cagers have won five garAes and have dropped only one, that to Slats Gill's Oregon State five. The Seat tlites will get a real test this week-end when the Beavers travel north to engage them in a two game series. Washington State is at present holding down the runner-up posi tion in the standings, slipping ahead of Oregon State by virtue of her two wins over the Webfoots last week-end. Oregon State is just 4.2 percentage points behind the Cougars, having won five and lost three. Idaho’s Vandals are firmly in trenched in the fourth position, three and a half games ahead of the lowly Ducks. In the southern division, South ern California holds a decided ad vantage with five straight victor ies. T{ie Trojans have scored de | cisive wins over Stanford, U. C. L. ' A., and California, and are in good stride, which should send them on through their remaining seven games to clinch the title. I The nearest competitors to the leaders in the south are the Cali fornia Bears with three victories to two defeats. U. C. L. A. and Stanford trail the paok, each with but one victory as compared with four losses. U.W. TO FORM NEW SETUP FOR EXTRA ACTIVITY ft onhnucd Iran 1 age Unc) mittee for several yeurn. Though this system has proved compar atively successful, the placing of all sports under the managership of a director of athletics is con templated. The new regents will also be faced with the problem of negoti ating a $50,000 loan to carry on student activities for the rest of the year. It is the necessity for this loan and the insistence of Seattle bankers that the control of student activities be put under a more permanent organization that have led to the movement for reformation of the student government. Kupp On Ktmrd The recently appointed regents are Werner A. Rupp, Aberdeen editor; Winlock Miller, capitalist; Lewis B. Schwellenbach, who op posed Clarence D. Martin for gubernatorial nomination; Alfred Shemanski, Seattle merchant; Philip McBride, Seattle lawyer; Robert Montgomery, Puyallup editor; and Edward IT Ryan, Spokane realtor. Rupp and Miller were regents of the Washington institution several years ago'when the fracas between ex-Governor Hartley and ex-President Suzzallo resulted in the ousting of the latter as head of the university. Rupp was forced out of office and Miller was not reappointed. •V basketball game scheduled be tween Oklahoma IT. and Oklahoma A. & M. had to be called off be cause the court, in Oklahoma City, was not controlled by either school, a Big Six requirement, CLASSIFIED LOST Four-months-old- shep herd pup, white except for a brown spot on right eye and small spot on back.

JOSEPH (Butch) MORSE (As told to Ned Simpson) I've had some trouble deciding which was my greatest thrill in athletics — my invitation to the c o in 1 n g r ueui (formal or the last game I played for dear old Benson Tech in the fall of 1930. Have n't you heard how we beat Grant High, 7 to 6— _ scorimr all of our Butch Morse last four min utes of play ? Here, look through these for a while and you will see what a battle we put up. (At this point Butch paused to pass over a three or four hundred page book of clippings that was opened at a page where bold head lines shouted that “Techmen tri umph over Generals.”) The thrill in this game came not only from one specific play, but from the whole accomplish ment. During the entire first three quarters we had been run ragged by Grant and had been scored on during the second quar- ; ter. The game seemed lost when we recovered a Grant fumble on their 46-yard line, and in a series of line bucks I managed to shove it over for the tying score. I also made the extra point by smashing through tackle. The timer's gun was in the air when I went over the line for the touch down and that was the most thrilling play. Another big thrill that I got was when I found out that I was go ing to room with Dick Neuberger this year, and would have a chance to put crackers in his bed. He was the only Portland sports writer to vote against me in the selections for the Zell trophy. Here are a few more clippings— no those aren’t the ones—those are the ones about that game we played with Medford for the state championship. R. Joseph (Butch) Morse II, honorary vice-president of the famed Minnesota Rotary club down on Patterson street, started off his high school football career at Benson Tech. There he made his numeral in frosh football and then took the step up to varsity ranks. For the next three years he was a bulwark of the Tech men’s offense and defense, and played several positions during his scholastic career. He was select ed on almost every all-star high school team during those three years, and was awarded the Zell trophy for the most outstanding player—in 1930. Butch came to Oregon winter term, 1931, and that fall played end on the champion ship frosh team. Last fall, as a member of the Webfoot varsity, he played stellar ball under the guidance of Prink Callison. Butch returns next season and will be one of the mainstays in the line. Hopkins* Concert On February 13 Will Be Different Pianist Describes Plans To Clive Dance Music Kccital of New And Old George Hopkins will present something entirely different in the way of piano concerts, February 13; namely, a recital of dance mu sic. Composers of the classical, ro mantic, and modern schools will be represented. Mr. Hopkins will present this same concert in Port land at the Neighbors of Wood craft hall, February 25. Included in his program are Bach's "French Suite in G-major,” Gluck-Brahms' "Gavotte," Debus sy's "Delphic Dancers" and "Golli wogg’s "Cake Walk." Hanson's "Clog Dance," Simons-Gallico's "The Peanut Vendor,’’ and Wright's "An ‘Authentic’ Jazz Arrangement." Critics of musical magazines such as Musical America, Musical Digest, and Musical West, and mu sic critics of various newspapers of Oregon and Washington papers have spoken very highly of Mr. Hopkins skill as a pianist and a composer. One of America's young compos ers, the Musical Digest speaks of him in referring to his composition, “Valse-Burlesque" which Mieha Levizki presented in one of his re cent New York concerts. Another , of his own compositions which has won him notice is his "Scottish Gavotte." Newman To Turn Down Fro Offers HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 30.— (AP) The University of Michi gan's afl-America quarterback, r Harry Newman, may turn profes sional later in the year, but at present he wants to retain his am ateur rating. Newman stopped off here en route to his home after playing in the East-West charity game at San Francisco. He turned down an offer to play with former Univer sity of Southern California foot fall stars in a professional game. The Wolverine star indicated, how ever, he might turn professional later in the year. & "Michigan is expecting another Big Ten championship team next year,” said Newman. "There are only two of us graduating this year.” Bored by Cricket SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 30.— (API Wives of the American ten nis players, Vines, Allison and Van Kyn. watched the Englishmen and Australians at play in their na tional game, cricket, and were bored. "Baseball has real thrills but cricket none," said Mrs. Vines.

By BEN BACK Thrill after thrill marked the play of the Theta Chi-Beta volley ball encounter last night which, without a doubt, was the most sensational contest seen in the in tramurals this year. After losing the first game, Theta Chi came back to triumph in the next two game3. Ralph Brown was the main cog of the Theta Chi machine and it was his hard passes which eventu ally began to tell on the Beta outfit. He had some able help from Rusty Woodward and Spec Murray. For the Betas, Bower man, Gunther, and Near tried hard to stop the Theta Chi threat. La Ca3a Filipina, in another game which had unusual thrills, beat Phi Psi, 2 to 1, after coming close to losing the third game. The La Casa boys took the first game by a wide margin. However, the Phi Psi came back in the second game and took it very easily. The third game went to the Oriental team. Sigma Chi had a hard struggle on their hands with Sigma hall, who offered a very stubborn re sistance although they lost both games. Yeomen and Fiji also fought on very even terms until the end of the two games which were played. The Yeomen took both encounters by having a little more snap and pep at the end of each encounter. The Alpha-Gamma hall failed to materialize when one of the Gamma players failed to show up at game time and therefore Alpha won the contest by default. Phi Delta Theta's hard-smash ing sextet scored their fourth straight win of the tourney by toppling the friendly hall outfit, 2 to 1. W. S. C. To Lower Fees For Old Students Only WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Jan. 30.— (Spe cial)—Drastic changes in registra tion fees and room and board charges have been announced at Washington State college. The changes will become effective at the beginning of next semester. Registration will be $32 for men and $32.75 for women. The re duced registration fee, applicable to old students only, came through the withholding of the $5 damage deposit, which will be refunded at the close of the second semester. Room rentals in men’s and wo men’s dormitories have been re duced to $30 a semester. From January 23 to the next board month, February 19, the board A'ill be $20.25 per month. After Sunday morning, February 19, the board will be reduced to $19 a month. A bill relating to unemployment nsurance in Oregon is being pre pared by Dr. E. B.

Why Not Look at Your Heels Everyone Else Does Let Us Do Your Shoe Repairing CAMPUS SHOE REPAIR Detroit Goalie Prizes rBiscuit9 • # -—j ; The New York Rangers sold Goalie John Ross Roach down the river to Detroit at the close of last season, but they had reason to regret it when he broke their great scoring streak that had reached 77 games. Roach still has the battered puck—the “one that wouldn’t go in the net.” Big Ten Scoring Shows Increase Under New Rules Anti-Stalling Regulation Appears Responsible; 1933 Team Average Higher CHICAGO, Jan. 30. — (AP) — Whether the new anti-stalling rules are responsible, coaches are reluctant to say, but cold figures i indicate that scoring has definite ly increased in Big Ten basketball this season. Figuring on results of the first 18 league games of the current season, compared with the first 18 games of 1932, brings out these data: Average winning team’s score of 1933 has been 34.83, whereas a year ago it was 30.50. The aver age score of losing teams this year has been 25.33, compared to 23.50 last season. This gives an average total score of 60.16 for the present cam paign against 54 for 1932; and an average victory margin this year of 9.50 against an average margin of 7 points last year. This latter finding may be sig nificant in view of the fact that the current race is a closer one, with more even distribution of power, than that of 1932, yet the games are being won by wider margins. Most of the conference coaches agree the ‘TO-second rule has speeded up the action of the game, although several hold that stalling still can be done even in the “for ward half” of the court. Dormitories as Homes For Couples at W.S.C. WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Jan. 30—As an economy measure, married couples attending the 1933 summer ses sion at Washington State college may be permitted to secure living quarters in one of the dormitories, according to Dr. A. A. Cleveland, director of the session. By living in the dormitories, married students would lessen the cost of attending the session, ad ministrative officials believe. Ev ery effort is being made to lower the cost of the eight and one-half weeks’ school. Arrangements are being completed for instructors and courses for an interesting session, reports Dr. Cleveland. i Women’s Sports ;-Ry ROBERTA MOODY CUSAN Campbell nosed out the ^ Kappa Delta basketball team 15 to 12 in an interhouse game Mon day afternoon at Gerlinger hall.

Alpha Omicron Pi swimming team turned in a 34 to 19 victory over the Kappa Delta team in an interhouse meet at the women's pool Friday afternoon. Marion Vinson, Alpha Omicrop Pi, won the 40-yard free style, and the diving contests. Helen Tay lor, Kappa Delta, took the 20-yard breast stroke; Edith Clement, Al pha Omicron Pi, the 20-yard rac ing backstroke, and E le a n o r Coombe, Alpha Ortiicron Pi, the 40-yard single overarm and the plunge. Captains are asked to cut the swimming schedule from the Em erald, or they will find one posted on the W. A. A. bulletin board in Gerlinger hall. Scheduled games may be changed only by trading dates with another scheduled meet upon the mutual agreement of the cap tains of all teams concerned. No tification of this change must be sent into the women's physical ed ucation office or to Agnes Morgan at least one day before the meet. If this is not done, the team not appearing will lose by default. The swimming tournament is composed of leagues, which include four teams.

It is not known whether either of them will be able to play against the rooks this week-end. Sanford, all state guard from Salem, is suffering with an infect ed foot. He is under a doctor’s care, and though unable to wear a shoe, is able to hobble around in a slipper. It is very doubtful as to whether he will be sufficiently well to play Friday or not. Stroble was taken ill last Friday in practice and was forced to leave the court. Yesterday he was re ported to be confined to bed with a touch of the flu. Even if he is well enough to play against the pooks, his weakened condition will be a big handicap to him. Coach Rogers is worried about his chances, for although he has some excellent men to fill the breaches, he is lacking in substi tutes. He is working Norm Hamp ton into Stroble’s position at for ward, and Clayton James into San ford’s place at guard. Both men have shown well all season. Sev eral other players show promise, but they lack smoothness and pol ish. The frosh open their season against the rooks next Friday, and until now had an outside chance #to upset the highly-touted year lings from O.S.C. Frosh ‘Get Acquainted’ Hop Slated for Friday Friday evening at 9:00 will see the freshman dance of the year, sponsored by the frosh commission as a "get acquaint ed” dance. It will be held in the Campa Shoppe, with a tax of 50 cents per couple. The Mad Hatters will play. Tickets will be sold in each living organization by a representative. Independent men may secure their tickets at a general meeting of the fresh man class to be held tomorrow to promote the afair. The time of the meeting will be an nounced in tomorrow’s Emerald. Everybody is invited to the dance, which, though primarily for freshmen, includes the whole of the student body.
