Chinnoek. VOLUME XXXIVUNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1933 Page 4 Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY AHA! If ever we needed defi nite proof that Oregon was going to win some basketball games during the remainder of this season, we have it now. For has not Mr. what’s-his-name, the Oregon State Barometer sports editor, predicted that Oregon will win only one game, and that from Idaho ? As Mr. what's-his-name is invariably wrong, Oregon should win at least three or four. Of course, it might work the other way and the Webfoots lose every game. Anyhow, the optimistic intellec tual giant of the Barometer has it all figured out just how Oregon State is going to win the pennant, Washington finish second, and Oregon end in the cellar with a percentage of .063. Granted that some of his calculations are most logical, I can’t see how he can possibly concede Oregon State four straight wins over the Web foots. * » * For one thing, a Gill-coached team never lias taken a series from a Reinhart-coached team. While customs of long-standing are being broken right and left everyday, I figure that here is one which won’t be broken this year. And in the second place, Oregon State won’t stand the pace it has been setting. The Beavers haven’t been able to win two in a row since they downed Idaho twice. One night they are hot and the next play like Oregon looked against Ashland the first game of the season. * * * I still pic!: Washington to win the northern u*vislon. Their play ers are all “naturals” and are in the finest of condition. When one is “off” there are always plenty • more to toss in long ones. Washington State is the opposite. Last year the Cougars lost a chance to win their first basket ball title by lack of training. After losing two to Oregon here the boys broke training — that don’t go when there are other teams hot on the trail. * * * George Bertz, in his Oregon Journal “Tower Lights,” writes that football gate receipts at Southern California totaled $547,505. Oregon drew $28,080 and, Oregon State, $25,400. The Notre Dame gate alone was $277,160. * * * If ever a coach had hard luck during un athletic season, Rock well “Red” Rogers is it. From the start of the freshman basketball season, Rogers has taken one blow after another. First his star center, Gordon Wright, was declared in eligible. Then Doug Ward, a guard. And now with the first games with the Oregon State rooks only three days off, Glen Sanford and Marvin Stroublc, the outstanding players on the squad, are benched with injuries. * * * Rogers is having more than his usual share of worries and it goes doubly tough as this is his first attempt at the coaching game. Red has had two years of experi ence under Bill Reinhart and that's about all. It must be dis appointing for a newcomer in the coaching ranks to take such a beating in his first season. 825-Foot Ski Slide STOCKHOLM, Jan. 30.— (API - The largest ski slide in Sweden, claimed by its builders to be the most spectacular in Europe, has been completed at Solleftea, near here.

Fiji Swatters Drop Comedy Donut Match Kappa Sigs Take Titles in Two Leagues Yeomen Annex Handball Crown With Victory Over Kappa Sigma Today’s Volleyball Schedule 4:00 p. m.—Sigma Chi vs. Phi Delts (B); Betas vs. Gamma hall (B). 4:40 p. m.—Sigma Nu vs. Phi Sigma Kappa (B»; Interna tional house vs. Chi Psi (A). 5:20 p. m. A. T. O. vs. Sigma Pi Tau (A); Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Delta Tau Delta (A). By BEN BACK “Tepee Joe’’ Deming and his cohorts from the Fiji house sup plied enough laughs to last the many spectators at the donut volleyball encounters last night for many a month. The fancy passing of these two teams was the hit of the games. Theta Chi, however, managed to pull both games out of the fire. The other big game of the night was the one between Kappa Sig and Sigma Nu. Kappa Sig took the deciding game and emerged champion in their league. The play of this game was very close ly contested and the final out come hung in the balance until the concluding minutes. Friendly hall, with its array of stellar players, took a fast game from A. T. O. by a 2-0 score. Mark Temple, with his vicious passes, nearly won a game for the fraternity boys. In the “B” league Kappa Sig again won out by beating the Yeomen by a 2-0 score. In win ning this game they also took their place as champion of their league. Sigma hall “B’’ team did not show up and so consequently lost by a forfeit to Sigma Alpha Epsi lon. The only thing which the Kappa Sigs did not win last was the handball finals which were an nexed by the Yeomen after a rousing battle between the two teams of swatters. Caswell To Open Series of Lectures For Winter Term Hixon, Erb, Sheldon Will Speak On V aried Subjects ; Topics Scholarly Dr. A. E. Caswell, of Oregon j State college, formerly University physics professor, will open the program of University lectures, similar to that given during the winter quarter last year, next Wednesday evening, February 8 at 8 p. m. in Villard hall. Dr. Caswell will speak on “The New Mechanics,” it was announced by the Free Intellectual Activities committee. Other professors who have been selected to speak are Dr. Henry H. Dixon, member of the medical school clinical faculty who pre viously was scheduled to open the program, will speak February 15 on “Recent Developments in Un derstanding of ersonality Struc ture." Dr. H. D. Sheldon, profes sor of history and education, will talk on the subject of “Formative erlod of the Development of Amer ican Universities,” February 22. Dr. Donald Erb, professor of eco nomics, will talk on "Some ropos als for Economic Recovery” March I, and Dr. Luther S. Cressman, professor of sociology, will speak on “Pre-History of the Pacific Northwest” March 8. The lectures are intended to be scholarly lectures addressed to members of the faculty and ad vanced students. They are designed to be neither poplar nor so tech nical as to limit their interest to specialists. Speakers have been asked to present recent develop ments in their fields not yet of common knowledge, at a level ap propriate to a general faculty group. The committee does not solicit support for the series but believes that members of the faculty com munity and advanced students will find the lectures both interesting and intellectually stimulating. At a time when lack of funds limits contacts with scholars from a dis tance it is appropriate to utilize and appreciate University and Oregon State resources. Since Tulane scored twice on Southern California to be beaten 21 to 12 in the Rose Bowl game of 1932, only California and Wash ington have crossed the Trojan line in eleven games. Writes Featured Sports Column Edward J. Nell, Associated Press sports writer and noted author ity on boxing, is author of the sports column, “On the Sidelines,” which appears from time to time on the Emerald sports page. Neil’s broad background and wide acquaintances in the realm of sport enable him to write vividly and authoritatively about personalities and events of college and professional sports. ON THE SIDELINES _bu Edward d JVelL_ I^EW YORK, Jan. 31—(API — ’ It pains a football coach, no doubt, to turn his back on a fine university, for one reason or an other, where relations had been pleasant and the pay good, to plod a weary way elsewhere and start all over again. There are new groups to meet in the new place, new friendships, new surroundings to grow fa miliar. Often there is nothing but wreckage left from the last regime ,and the hostility of rival factions to be faced and conquered if the new berth was a difficult one to attain. But the departure must be doubly painful where the coach at the exit looks back at the finest prospects, the best material the ;chool has had in years, and real izes he is leaving that legacy, handpicked and patiently devel oped, for his successor. * * * Fritz Crisler did that when he left Minnesota for Princeton and turned over to Bennie Bier man a score of powerful sopho mores and juniors just coming into their own. Chicago's pros pects loom the brightest in years as Amos Alonzo Stagg fades into the distance. Jimmy Crowley picks up the wealth of material Major Frank Cava naugh developed at Fordham. * sK * And to “Tiny” Thornhill, at Stanford, "Pop” Warner bequeaths a gang of mighty sophomores, headed by a thunderous youngster named Bobby Grayson, that even tually may smash the Southern California coastal dominance c4J “Pop” himself fought unsuccess fully for seven years. * * » Young Grayson is a 185 pound, six-foot halfback, and apparently a ball of fire. He came to Stanford from Portland, Oregon, swayed in his college choice by a desire to play his football for Warner, and Warner only. When Pop switched to Tem ple, just as Grayson wound up a freshman campaign in story book fashion, the youngster be came so excited about the injus tice of it all that he swore he'd follow the “Old Man” east, even though it meant a year lost to varsity play because of the transfer rule. But on second thought he decided to stay and help carry on the crusade of all loyal Stanford men from Her bert Hoover down beat South ern California! * * * Already he has achieved that goal once. He ran wild on the Stanford freshman eleven that whipped the Southern Cal year lings 33 to t>, something unprece dented on the coast. .Such a calculating expert as Cupid Spears, who saw him in action while head coach at Ore gon. says young Grayson is likely to wind up the greatest back in Pacific coast history, which is something when you think of Ernie Nevcrs, Ernie Pinekert, Dick Hyland and Gaius Shaver, just to mention a few of tlie more recent. Powerful, versatile, a streak in the open field, a young bull chug ging a line, young Grayson asks but one favor of his mates when he comes up as a sophomore against Southern Cal's great hold over eleven next fall. “Just shake me free twice,” he says. “Just twice. And we’ll beat them.” s|e * * When Warner is under discus sion it’s hard to keep your mind off Jim Thorpe, his great Indian. Hicr Joy tells of the time he -wn playing professional baseball with Thorpe in a game on the univer sity field at Northwestern. There was a scrub track meet going on just beyond the diamond and in fairly close proximity to Thorpe, who was playing left field. All went well for seven in nings. Then a long fly went wing ing out to left, but there was no Thorpe there. Investigation disclosed Jim deep in the process of winning a high hurdle race in his baseball uni form. Lewis Continues To Lead Scorers In Northern Race While Ed Lewis, continued to hold the individual scoring honors in the northern divison hoop race over the week-end with 94 points, Huntly Gordon of Washington State jumped into second place, edging out Johnny Fuller of Washington, who remained idle. Gordon has 07 points, one more than Fuller. Gib Olinger and Cap Roberts of Oregon follow the leaders. Olinger leads in foul conver sions with 20, followed by Gordon of W. S. C. with 19.

Oregon Hoop TeamToPlay In Portland Multnomah Club To Form First Opposition Union Oil Team To Be Played on Saturday Night; New Plays To Be Used by Ducks Oregon's hoopsters have no con ference competition to worry them this week-end, but nevertheless they will have plenty on their hands to keep them busy. Bill Reinhart in hopes of bringing his charges out of their current slump, will take his c a g e r s to Portland Friday and Saturday nights where . „ tney are scnea Stymie Dolp uled t0 tangle with two of the toughest indepen dent quintets the Rose city has to offer. On Friday night the Webfoot3 meet Multnomah club, and the following evening tackle the crack Union Oil five. To Use New Attack The commodore has developed an entirely new style of play for his team. He will use the new sys tem against the Portland teams in order to accustom his players to it before they tangle in the first game of the “civil war” with Ore gon State, February 7. Against each of the Rose City teams the Webfoots will be pitted against ex-wearers of the Lemon Yellow. On the clubbers’ roster is little Billy Keenan, who has been a leading scorer all year, and only a few seasons ago was potting them in for Reinhart. Ex-Ducks To Play In the Union Oil line-up will be Hank Levoff, Vince Dolp, and Ray Edwards, all ex-Oregon players. Levoff was one of the veterans of last year’s Oregon five, and his loss has been felt keenly this year. Dolp, a southpaw sharpshooter, starred for the Webfoots during the same years that Keenan played. Edwards, a 200-pounder, played for Reinhart during the golden days of Northwest cham pionships. Other ex-college stars who fill out the line-ups of the indepetr dents will make it a hard task for Bill’s boys to come away on the long end of the score. Ralph Cair ney, ex-Washington ace, is a regu lar for the Oilers, while the Web foots will meet another old friend in “King” Bailey, Multnomah club | .... - . - ... ..- ....-„ 'Graduate Students To i Be Given Examinations i Preliminary examinations for master degrees in the school of | education are being administered l to the following: graduate students [in the next few days: Maurine ' Lombard, Springfield: Leah Bor ah, Portland; John Conway, New I berg; Milton Smith, Eugene; and ! Gilbert Erlandson, Portland. These examinations will be giv i on by the members of the staff of the school of education. | Football Player Goes to Court W. K. Yarbrough, a star col lege football player, has carried to the Oklahoma supreme court the refusal of the Oklahoma uni versity authorities to admit him as a student because the Okla homa City college would not sup ply a transcript of Yarborough's | credits, saying he had not paid | a $30 tuition note endorsed last i year by Athletic Director Green. o Lest You Forget When That Allowance Check Comes Save Yourself • • *10% I Buy a $5.00 Meal Ticket for $4.50 Prize Rookie Joe Medwick, new outfielder for | the St. Louis Cardinals, has been i heralded by many leading critics as the outstanding candidate for the big leagues’ prize rookie of 1933. Medwick, or “Ducky Wucky” as teanunates have dub bed him, went straight into pro fessional ball from high school. He was a sensation in the Texas league last season, hitting and fielding like a “big leaguer” for the Houston club. -\ Frosh Crippled For First Game With Rook Five Stroble, Sanford, and Ward Not To Be Available for Friday’s Basketball Fracas By JACK CHINNOCK With only two practice sessions left before the rook game, Red Rogers is planning to put his crip pled frosh squad through a tough workout. Friday night the year lings trek to Corvallis to meet the rooks in the first game of the lit tle civil war. The two teams play here Saturday night. The frosh are scrimmaging on both offense and defense, in prep aration for the coming game. Up till now the rooks have used a man-to-man defense in all their games, but it is expected that they may pull a surprise and use a zone defense. Rogers has been working his charges hard to pre pare them to meet either type of defense. The loss of Marvin Stro ble, Glen Sanford, and Doug Ward, three offensive threats, has made j it necessary for Rogers to stress | defensive play in the last few i sessions, and he will probably con tinue to do so in the next two. Good news filtered into the year- j ling camp last night, when it be- | came known that Sanford might be able to get in the game Friday. | He turned out for practice last i night, but was still limping slight- j ly. Stroble is still confined to the i infirmary, and it is not yet known whether he will be in the lineup against the rooks. Rogers hopes that Stroble will be well enough to get in the game Saturday night. If so, the ducklings may have the first string together again in the second game. Old Jack Cullen Remembers Golden Days of Boxing Game By MALCOLM BAUER Bare-fisted fighting? That's nothing to Jack Cullen, one of the best lightweights of them all in the '90’s. Cullen, now past 55 and a little grayed, has been on the campus for the past few months, spending the greater part of his time posing for classes in the art department. He still is as spry as a good share of the leather pushers of this day and age, and he still boasts the same marvelous physique which carried him through 20 torrid rounds with the great "Young” Griffo, 38 years ago in Philadelphia. Cullen was one of the toughest mitt-slingers of the days “when fighters were fighters,” and al though he never reached the title, he fought many champions. He proudly claims that "it took a champ to beat me.” Fought ’Em All He fought exhibitions with Joe Wolcott, the colored terror who outweighed him some twenty pounds; and during his career had bouts with Kid Levene, Oscar Gardner, Danny Needham, Joe Bernstine, Kid Broad, and other great maulers of the day. Jack’s greatest moment came, he says, when he shook hands with the one and only John L. Sullivan. He was just starting out then, and was still in his teens. It was not many years later that he got his big shot at the title against Griffo. This bout, which was fought with bare knuckles, lasted for 20 rounds, Cullen taking the count after a see-saw battle. The old fighter's hayls were the first things to play him false, and in the opinion of many fans he would have probably gone on to take the lightweight title had not his mitts cracked under the abuse. He did not fight in the days when 16-ounce gloves were provided to protect the fists of combatants, and his two gnarled hands testi fy to the fact that they have stood their share of punishment. Easy Come—Easy Go Cullen did not fight in the “big money” era of the game, and just as at present in the fight racket, it was “easy come, easy go.” Since forced to leave the ring, he has worked as a professional ar tists’ model, posed for many fa mous sculptors, and has done some work for Bernarr McFadden in connection with his physical cul ture expositions. More recently “Jack” has been modeling for art classes at both Eugene and Cor vallis. He doesn’t talk much about his gala days, but he carries with him a roll of clippings big enough to choke a good-sized mule, which bear out his claims to fame. “Oh, for the good old days.” Education Meet Held The regular bi-monthly meeting of the education seminar was held last evening at the school of edu cation. Every other Tuesday this group meets and works on current education problems. Each mem ber of the group contributes to the discussion from a viewpoint gained from reading on the sub ject. Professor Fred Stetson leads the group. Paul Dean of Columbus, brother of the illustrious Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals, led the American as sociation in strikeouts last season, with 169. Dizzy was the National league’s strikeout king. Alpha Delts Drop Kappa Hoop Team Alpha Delta Pi turned in a 23 to-21 victory over the Kappa Kappa Gamma basketball team in an interhouse game Tuesday after noon. The Kappas were leading, 17 to 10, at the end of the half, but succumbed to the onslaught of the Alpha Delta Pis. The whole game was a close, hard fought battle. Ruth Irvin was high point woman with 17 points. Alpha Xi Delta will meet the Chi Omegas today at 4. “Eugene's Own Store'' McMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY -PHONE 2700 —as new and smart as the most fashion able frocks of the new season.
