(.'hinnock. _____ ■ • -— -- VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1933Page 4 - ' _ - - - ■ - Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY AND WHAT do you think of one-referee basketball ? Or do you still prefer two officials in your evening’s entertainment? After reading sport columns of college papers received here it seems that each idea has its own cult. Prominent coaches and bas ketball experts are quoted on their preference for one whistle-tooter or two. And who cares? L. H. Gregory of the Oregon ian is the high priest of the one official club. He declares em phatically that the use of a single referee this year has been the sal vation of the game. He objects strenuously, and rightly too, to too much whistle blowing. In fact, he has refused to attend basketball games for several years and was only persuaded to witness the recent Oregon State-Washing ton contest after Slats Gill told him there would be only one man calling fouls. * # . * And now Jack Friel of Wash ington State comes forth with the idea that basketball is get ting away from the officials this year. This remark was passed to Hugh Eldridge, sports editor of the Idaho Argonaut, after the Idaho - Oregon games at Moscow last week. Friel blames the coaches for permitting their own players to pull the rough stuff. * * • But according to comment in the California Daily, we northern ers don’t know what rough bas ketball is! Say3 Gordon Arter in his “Talking It Over” column: “This southern division practice of playing rough basketball is some thing that seems to grow on teams, like warts. It has now reached the stage where the re feree is to be congratulated if he is only able to keep the game from developing in a free-for-all.” * * * Arter describes the methods of' the southern conference teams. Stanford, he says, plays “what might be termed an ‘un comfortable’ game of basketball. . . . They are naturally awk ward to play against. "The Bruins show more fi nesse in being rough. They are smaller men, on the average, than either California or Stan ford. . . . Their very speed en ables them to campaign with a ‘hit-and-run’ method of play. # * « “Authentic reports, quoted yes terday, said that the Trojan bas ketball team played a game more akin to football than anything. Featured in the attack were Jules Bescos, an end in football season, Bob Erskine, 215-pound guard on the gridiron and a center on the court, and Browning, whose first name we do not know.” “Coming close to home, there is no denying that California can be and often is a rough basketball team. . . . Impartially we would classify the Bears as ‘bruisers’.” Because he has added duties in the department of hygiene at the College of the City of New York, where he is in an instructor, Dr. Harold J. Parker has been relieved as head coach of the university's tea, a position he has held since 1924.

By BEN BACK The Phi Delt crew of volleyball aces had some real trouble to con tend with in their encounter last night with the Sigma Chi sextet. It was all the Phi Delt team could do to take the deciding game of the match. The Phi Delts took the first game by a 15-1 margin, but the second game went to Sig ma Chi after a torrid battle. Johnnie Marrs and Malcolm Bauer were the leaders in the Phi Delt victory. The two Vail boys. Eddie and Micky, were the lumi naries for the Sigma Chi outfit. Sigma Nu Wins Sigma Nu and Phi Sigma Kappa fought on nearly even terms until the final minutes of play. Sigma Nu, however, passed just a little better and consequently won the three-game series. A. T. O. took two games from Sigm/i Pi Tau but had to fight for both games. Many teams, apparently out of the running for the title, forfeited their games last night. Pi Kappa Alpha won by a forfeit from Delta Tau Delta; International house from Chi Psi; and Beta Theta Pi from Gamma hall.

Junior Chamber To Sponsor Hoop Tournament Here I Plans for a Willamette valley basketball tournament for inde pendent teams, with the champion ship of the state at stake, was announced yesterday by the Eu gene Jjunior chamber of commerce. The tournament will be staged in Eugene March 2 to 4 inclusive, and committees to handle the affair have been named. Several committees have been appointed with Chet Smith as general chairman. His assistants are Fred Kramer, J. Frank Rein hart, Howard Strawn, Dick Strite. Frank Reid, Bud Travis, Dean Mc Alpin, and Casper Lane. Invitations will be sent out to all independent teams in the state, but their records will be used in picking up 16 teams to compete here. A silver trophy will be awarded the winner and runner up, while individual awards will be made the players. A special committee has been appointed to arrange for inexpen sive accommodations for the visi torp and to arrange for special en tertainment for them. The com mittee has not as yet decided on the floor to be used during the tournament. Profits from the affair will be divided between' several Eugene charities, and the winning team will receive a percentage of the gate receipts. EARLY MORNING HOUR DECISION IS POSSIBLE (Continued from Page One) state budget director, and the banks which are arranging to fi nance the state temporarily have said that a reduction of $300,000 is sufficient.” Immediate vote was prevented by the plea of Representative Carle Abrams that “no vote taken in this legislature will be as im- j portant as this one, and I am not | ready to vote tonight.” Abrams said if the vote was taken he I would have to support the motion. Senator I. E. Staples first moved that the higher education millage levy estimated at $3,927,000 be left undisturbed and that all insti tutions absorb $308,896 in contin uing appropriations that the gov-! ernor's budget recommended be eliminated. Representative Dean Walker then offered a lengthy substitute motion. He moved that this $1, 000,000 be diverted to the state general fund. In his motion was the provision that the continuing appropriation be reduced by $50. 000 and the remaining $258,898 be ; lumped for the state board to use as it saw fit. The motion also pro vided that $150,000 be taken from the millage tax and be diverted to the state general fund. The total saving covered by the motion was about $300,000. Included in the motion was that the board be em powered to use its discretion in allocating salaries if the ways and means committee's reduction schedule is adopted. Senator Woodward then came in with his substitute motion. It was that the continuing appropriaion of $308,898, eliminated by the gov ernor, be restored, but that 25 per cent, or aboiit $1,000,000 be elim inated from the millage appropria tion. About $700,000 would be re duced from the budget, but Sam- j nons insisted that it would amount to $1,000,000 for the reason that ( the continuing appropriations do not apply to general education, but almost entirely to agricultural experiment stations and similar purposes connected with the state college. [ Beavers Pin Title Hopes On Two Tilts Orangemen Must Topple Huskies This Week O’Connell and Lewis Will Lead Invasion Against Leaders Friday and Saturday OREGON STATE COLLEGE, \ Corvallis, Feb. 1. — Half-way i through its conference schedule, j Oregon State' basketball team J will journey to Seattle t h i s j week-end where j it will meet Uni versity of Wash ington, confer ence leaders, Fri day and Satur nights, in a two game series! wmcn pruinisca Skeet O’Connell to be the decid ing ssit-to of the season, i Now resting in third place on [ the conference ladder, with five I wins and three losses, the Orange j men must at least split the two i game series with the Huskies to stay in the running for the crown and two wins are nearly necessary to substantiate any championship winning aspirations the Orange men might have. In the two-game series between the team at Corval I lis last week, Oregon State won i the first decisively and dropped ; the second by a narrow margin. Must Beat Huskies Washington Huskies now in first j place with five wins and only one loss, look like they are heading I for their sixth consecutive cham pionship. Oregon State, generally rated as the most feared team in the conference, has been coming fast so far this season but must overpower the Huskies to establish itself as a strong championship contender. Amory T. “Slats" Gill, Orange coach, has spent the greater part of this week perfecting his of fense. Gill is faced with a large offensive problem in that Captain Ed Lewis, lanky all-star Orange center and conference leading scorer, and Skeet O’Connell, flashy forward considered the fastest man in the conference, are carrying nearly the entire Orange offensive burden. These two men have scored more than a half of the points garnered by the entire Or ange squad this season. Rooks To Meet Frosh While the Orange varsity is bat tling for the conference lead in Seattle Oregon State freshman basketball team will meet Univer sity of Oregon frosh quintet in the first two games of their four-game traditional little "civil-war series,” playing at Corvallis Friday night and at Eugene Saturday night. Oregon State rooks have not been defeated this season having upset Corvallis high school twice, Willamette freshmen twice, and Lincoln and Commerce high schools of Portland once. Roy Lamb, rook coach, has built his quintet around Lefty Palmberg and Bob Bergstrom, former all state prep stars from Astoria. Both men show promise of being two of the flashiest ball players to be seen here in some time. Hec Benches Hanover SEATTLE, Feb. 1.—(Special— Hec Edmundson is getting tough with his Huskies in order to pre pare them for their two-game se ries with the Orangemen of Ore gon State college this week-end. The regular line-up is being shift ed nightly, and the bespectacled mentor is making every man fight for a place on the first five. The latest addition to the “benched” list is Jack Hanover, stellar forward, who has given way to Joe Weber. Johnny Fuller, who has been warming the bench for the past week, will probably get back into the game Friday night. FELLOW SOCIETY TO BE FORMED AT HARVARD U. -- (Continued from Page One) was announced recently at uni versity hall, following a joint meeting of the Harvard corpora tion and the board of overseers. No Academic Regulations It was stated in the announce ment that the junior fellows shall devote “their whole time to pro ductive scholarship, and prepara tion therefor, free from academic regulations for degrees," and they “shall receive no credit for courses and shall not be candidates for any degree.” These stipulations carry out an oft-expressed objection of Dr. Lowell to what he had termed “the strangle-hold of the Ph.D.,” j which he regards as a prime detri ment to the advancement of ori ginal scholarship among men who ultimately take professorships in 1 American universities. “Carry Intellectual Contagion" Establishment of the society; Babe Back Home In Preparation For Grid Season WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Feb. 1. — Babe Hollingbery, Washington State head football coach, returned to Pullman this week after spending six weeks in his old stamping grounds in San Francisco. The Cougar chief was coach of the western team that defeated the eastern all-stars 21-13 New Year's in the annual Shrine classic. Before long Babe will start the huge task of forming plans for the 1933 gridiron season. He expects to start spring practice early in March but has not any other plans so far. From the 1932 team which finished runner-up in the Pacific Coast conference race, Babe has 17 available lettermen. Eight let termen including Captain George Sander will be lost by graduation. I Women’s Sports -By ROBERTA MOODY LPHA XI DELTA tossed in 22 points to Chi Omega’s 8, in the sixth of the interhouse basketball series Wednesday afternoon. Alpha Xi Delta was leading 14 to 6 at the end of the half. Eliza beth Rix was high point woman, scoring 17 points. The Gamma Phi Betas will play Hendricks hall today at 4, and at 5 the Pi Phis will meet the Alpha Delta Pis. :J: ♦ # The hiking group of the Wom en’s Athletic association will leave the woman’s building Saturday afternoon at 1:30. Ella Richard son will lead the group which will go towards the braes. * * * Delta Gamma lost the swim meet to Susan Campbell hall by default Tuesday afternoon. Sigma Kappa will compete with the Chi Omegas today at 4. * * * W. A. A. will give a special recreation program for the new initiates, Friday, February 3, from 4 to 5 in the afternoon. Tea will be served at 5 o’clock. All women on the campus are invited. Cam pus clothes are in order. W. A. A. will give a tea every Friday afternoon at 5, following the recreational hour from 4 to 5. All women are welcome. achieves in part the objective which Dr. Lowell first outlined at length in his annual report for 1929-30, and has referred to in all his subsequent reports as the separation from the graduate school of arts and sciences the “future creative, scholars into a distinct body that will have a greater attraction for ambitious men of talent.’’ “Such an atmosphere should carry intellectual contagion be yond anything now in this coun try,” he has said. The nearest existing approach to the society of fellows is All' Souls’ college at Trinity, Cam bridge, which has evolved a school; for the advancement of a purely original scholarship and has to date contributed more than one half of the British winners of the Nobel prizes. Original and Creative The plan for the society, ap proved by the corporation and board of overseers, provides for a managing body of seven “senior fellows,” which includes the presi- i dent of the university and the dean of the acuity of arts and sci ences ex officio. This body is* to select the junior prize fellows from among the re cent graduates of Harvard and other colleges who have shown promise of original and important creative work in the several branches of scholarship. First appointments are to be made up to the age of 25, and it is expected that in many cases the appointees will be from students who have just graduated from college. Endowment of Million The society will have its head quarters in Eliot house, where a special suite of dining rooms, com mon and serving rooms have al ready been built. The new plan provides for weekly dinners of the society to furnish “frequent social co-mingling of men who are aim ing at one goal by different paths.” Funds to make possible the plan are a special gift to the uni versity. the source of which has not been divulged. Inasmuch as the stipend to each of the 24 fellows will average nearly $1,500; that free board and room may be estimated to cost 800 more a man; that the chair man is to receive $1,000 a year, and that the other elected senior fellows are to receive $500, the an tual cost of the plan may be set at more than $50,000 annually, or the ncome from an endowment of more than $1,000,000. J JVeit* Coach Warren “Tex” Tilson, who suc ceeds Jimmie Dehart as head foot ball coach at Washington and Leo university, graduated from the same school by which he is now employed. His appointment gives the Virginia school an all alumni coaching staff, an unusual circumstance in the gridiron world. Shooting Match Result Of Last Week Unknown Results of last week's matches are now being awaited from the mails by the University of Oregon rifle team, which held its second match of the season last week against the University of Pitts burgh, the University of Washing ton, and the New York Stock Ex change teams. Scores of the first week's match es have arrived, and the team’s showing was fairly satisfactory, having defeated the Natrona high school team of Casper, Wyoming. Steady improvement is being shown by all members of the squad, so that chances of winning the third match are excellent. Ser geant Blythe, coach, reports that continued good work is expected in order that a successful showing will be made in the Corps area and Hearst Trophy matches to be shot in the near future. RULING ON JUNIOR CER TIFICATE AT ELECTION (Continued from Page One) a group of faculty and students to work out the provisions which are to be worked into the A. S. U. O. constitution by E. M. Pal lett, registrar, the N. S. F. A. and myself,” Mr. Constance said. Mr. Constance said the purpose of the report was to make the regulations specific and to adjust faculty and student interpreta tions of the rule. In referring to the six-term rule in particular, Mr. Constance said that it was decided by the faculty and student committee that it would apply to all students who have been here six terms or more and who might be aspiring to major offices. The other ruling, he said, re garding students on probation means that these students must withdraw from all activities spon sored by the A. S. U. O. and must petition the scholarship commit tee to get permission to continue such activities. Frosh Stock Back At Par ForRookTilt Sanford, Stroble Are Back In Suit for Practice Team Looking Better as First Big Test Nears; Rogers Tapers Final Workouts With Glenn Sanford back in the lineup and with a possibility of Marvin Stroble getting into to morrow night's game, frosh hoop stock took an upward jump last night. Sanford's foot is complete ly well, and last night he proved that he was still in condition. Flash Stroble appeared in uniform last night for the first time since last Friday, and though he was still very weak, there is a possi bility of his getting into Friday night’s game for a while at least. In case Stroble is still unable to play, his position will be filled by Norm Hampton, who has shown that he is capable of handling the job right. Clayton James is put ting up a good fight for a start ing berth. Pete Buck is the probable starter for the other forward position, al though "Bunny” Butler is a se rious threat. Stew Milligan and Sanford are the two outstanding guards, and will probably open for the frosh. Bill Harcombe is the only center candidate with sufficient height, and he will probably start. The team, as a whole, is smooth ing out, especially in the matter of teamwork, in which it was sad ly lacking earlier in the season. With the rook game only a day away, Coach Rogers plans to have only a light workout tonight with no scrimmaging. PROSPECT FOR LOWER ING GYM LOSSES SEEN (Continued from Page One) that things can be stolen,” it was stated by Dean Bovard. "If any thing is stolen it is because the student has been careless. Under such conditions he cannot very well object to being assessed for the lost equipment.” The missing equipment account of the gymnasium was presented by Mr. Washke to show the extent to which students are reporting losses. Approximately 50 names were on the list, some with more than one article charged. Four teen entries had been cancelled as the student had returned the miss ing clothing. The items on the account since September totalled as follows: sweatshirts, six; sleeveless shirts, six; socks, 12 pairs; supporters, five; towels, 12; locks and keys, 20; gym pants, one; tennis pants, none, and baskets, none. Considering that between 400 and 700 towels are used every day and that approximately 1100 men are using the facilities, this rec ord is not bad, according to Mr. Washke. Before the charges were set at the present figures, the quantities for a similar period would have been many times larg er, he stated. F. B. Morgan, assistant profes sor of physics, has returned to his duties at the University after a 10-day absence, due to influenza.
