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

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. [

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.

eastern all-stars 21-13 New Year's

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

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.

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.

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.
