Because the man who will pica me I newcomer hap pens to he a fat fellow named Clarence Spears, Joe Pigney, in the Klamath Falls Evening Herald, ventures the rumor that our own Bill ——— Reinhart may de Doc Spears part for points east. Thi3 rumor is by no means new. but nevertheless, one of more than passing interest. It first came up last fall, before basket ' ball had started. At that time the wise boys predicted that Bill would leave Oregon either in March or April, as soon as the hoop season was over. * * * The situation was given im petus when Pop Warner drafted Fred Swan, freshman coach at Wisconsin, to take to Temple. This move left a coaching posi tion open at Madison, anc> might easily mean the entrance of Reinhart into Big Ten athletics. * * * At present there is nothing do ing, at least as far as Reinhart is concerned. “Nothing to it,” he said when questioned. He even went so far as to bet one of the promir'’nt athletes on the campus that he would be around next year for basketball. * * * Plgney writes the following: “The Pacific coast would be a distinct loser if Reinhart were to quit Oregon. Reinhart brought important developments to coast basketball; his person ality and ability have made him an outstanding man in his pro fession.” * * * Joe Pigney, incidentally, is a former Oregon student, and is well posted on campus athletic matters. While here he was correspondent for the Oregonian and handled considerable athletic publicity out of McArthur court. * * * Prink Calllson recently term ed as his "greatest (negative) thrill in athletics" the long last second pass with which U. C. L. A. downed Oregon last fall in the Multnomah stadium. Evi dently Prink has some idea of using passes himself next year in case the going gets too tough for his powerhouse ball-carriers. • • • At any rate, Prink is introduc ing something new in spring prac tice this year. Following severul weeks of work on fundamentals, Prink plans to call out all his backfield men, ends and centers, probably after Easter vacation, and devote some time to perfect ing a passing attack. * * * After instructing his ball H E WAS a" HIT-AND-RUN LOVER!

Parke, Beta, vs. Mountain, Yeomen. 165 pounds Larrsen, Yeomen vs. McCaffery, Sigma hall. 175 pounds—B. Parke, Beta, vs. Johnson, Pi Kappa Alpha. Heavyweight Clark, Fiji, vs. Keltner, Sigma Chi. By BEN BACK Donut wrestling finalists will show their wares today at the men’s gym at 4 p. m. to determine the champions of seven divisions. All finalists are evenly matched and some good matches are in prospect. Probably the hardest fight on tomorrow’s card will be the heavy weight match between Dutch Clark and Francis Keltner. Clark, last year’s titlist, will try to put the skids on the up and coming Sigma Chi flash. He may be sur prised, however, for Keltner is a sweet wrestler, judging from his showing earlier in the tournament. The boy who nearly lost his shorts at the hands of Red Bailey will be in tomorrow’s card. Chuck Johnson, Pi Kappa Alpha, will wrestle Bob Parke, Beta in the 175 pound class. Red McCaffrey, flaming-haired terror of Sigma hall, will oppose another wild man in the form of Campbell Larson, Yeomen. These boys are expected to make*the fur fly in their tangle. They are the finalists in the 165 pound class. Fred Mountain, Htar Yeomen wrestler, who did not lose as pre viously announced but beat his op ponent, will go against Choppie Parke, husky Beta, in the 155 pound class. Ray Clapp, winner of last year’s 145-pound class but this year en tered in the 135 pound class, will oppose Bennie Hargreaves, Phi Psi. Freddie Sears and Hermit Camp bell, who represent the Yeomen and Friendly hall respectively, ought to put up a great fight be fore their match is settled. They will wrestle in the 135 pound class The little boys of the tourna ment in the 125 pound class, Bry an Ryan, of the Yeomen, and Norman Burke, of Theta Chi, will probably afford the fastest action of the card. carriers and ends in the new pass plays, Prink will hold games with points being award ed on the basis of perfection of play execution. For example, if a pass play is completed and every man carries out his as signment perfectly 10 points will be given. If the pass is com pleted but one or two of the backs slip up on their jobs, 5 will be awarded. * • • This type of practice should lead to something mighty close to per fection in offensive play. Last year the Webfoots were strong on defense, but outside of a few flash es, showed little in the way of a sustained offense. That doesn't go with Prink's ideas of football, for he likes to roll up points as well as the spectators like to see them piled up. Perhaps next fall we'll see an Oregon team that can not only hold them on the three-yard line, but can actually start from the three yard line and go up the field without having to punt every fourth down. Alpha Kappa Psi Pledges Five Men Alpha Kappa Psi, professional commerce fraternity, has an nounced the pledging of four men, as the result of a meeting in the men’s lounge at Gerlinger hall Tuesday. The new pledges are Harlo Call, Miles McKay, Clair Christopher son, Leona id Hoyt, and Clark Ir win. They will be initiated at for mal ceremonies Sunday morning, and a banquet at the Anchorage will follow. A business meeting of the or ganization will be held in room 100 Commerce hall Friday after noon at 5. At 13:30 Friday the I group will have its Oregana pic ture taken in front of the Com merce building. Former Oregon Freshman Stars On Portland Ice Berry Pennington, former Ore gon student, has signed with the Portland hockey club, and will ap pear in the uniform of that team against the Ballard hockey club of Seattle Thursday night. Pennington started school here this term, but found it impossible to continue. He was affiliated with Sigma Pi Tau. His position on the ice is at for ward, and semi-pro hockey is by no means new to him, as in the last five years he has worn as many different uniforms. He is an ex cellent passer and a flashy skater. "Sandy” Sandberg, Portland man ager, believes that the addition of the young forward to the Rose City squad will increase their chances against the strong Puget Sound six. GLENN FRANK FIGHTS AGAINST EDUCATION CUT (Continued from Page One) direct receipts of the university from sources other than state ap propriations or unless important sections of the program and ser vices of the university should be wholly shut down, and because other means of retrenchment have been pretty fully exhausted, and if the full force of the recom mended reduction should fall on salaries and wages, it would mean almost three times the salary and wage reductions already made, to be exact, 2.7 times.” Frank fs Asked In response to a legislator’s question, "Will we do permanent harm if the budget is cut to what the governor recommend?” Pres. Frank replied: "Yes, if the situation is such that we cannot retain men of the calibre which make the university great.” Dean Charles Slichler of the graduate school, called upon to defend the expending of $36,000 for scientific research, bluntly told the legislative committee that "you are going to lose a lot in your attempts to save,’' and later sar donically asked the legislators, "What's the sense of having all the fine talent we have unless we use it?” Assemblyman Burnett asked Pres. Frank why the university, does not make use of endowments as do other universities. "We have no endowments,” Pres. Frank replied. "You had betetr hustle out and get some,” the assemblyman re torted. But Pres. Frank and others ex plained to the legislator that the legislature by law forbids the uni versity from accepting endow ments, after which Mr. Burnett withdrew to a new line of attack. Assemblyman Charles Perry en tered the verbal tray with the question: "Are all of the 62 courses in the school of education necessary?” to which Dean Charles Anderson of the school re plied that “I do consider every one of them essential.” Flimiiuite Non-Kssential The hearing then moved on into the field of education reform and curriculum revision. Assemblyman Perry: "Do you believe non - essential courses should be eliminated before sal aries are cut?” Pres. Frank: “Yes.” Perry: ”Has any study been given to curriculum revision?” Frank: “Yes. the so-called Fish report is the result of such study.” Perry: "What does the report deal with ?" Dean Sellery: "It includes revi sion in the language requirements, other courses, and is comprehen sive in scope.” Perry: "Was the report made before the present depression?” Sellery: “It was completed in 1930 and was devoted to educa tional reform as such." Perry: "Would the presence of depression have affected the re port ?" Sellery: "Yes, it would have af fected the optimistic refinements.” Perry: “Can these optimistic re finements be eliminated?" Sellery: “Yes, but it hasn't saved any money.” Perry: “Has there been any re vision in the past two years that has resulted in higher costs?” Frank: "No.” Christensen Successful In this vein ran much of the verbal give and take of the hear ing, Pres. Frank insisting vigor ously on every possible occasion that the drastic salary cuts which heavy budget reduction involves will be a serious blow to the uni versity’s future through the pos sible loss of some of its ablest men Dean Chris L. Christensen of the college of agriculture successfully emerged from nearly a half hour of continuous questioning in which virtually every item on the col lege’s budget was carefully scru tinized. These Preppers Made Good Here are four members of the great Athens, Texas, high school team of 1929-1930, who now are making the South Carolina Gamecocks the scourge of the Southern conference. They are, from left to right, John Rowland, Bennie Tompkins, Freddie Tompkins, and Dana Hender son. The two Tompkins youths were named “all-time all-American” high school stars after the national tournaments at Chicago. - I Women’s Sports -By ROBERTA MOODY In a fast and exciting game marked by numerous fouls, the In dependents eked out a close win from the Gamma Phis in an inter house basketball game Wednesday afternoon. The Independents scrambled out a big lead at the end of the half, but the Gamma Phis gained their balance and turned in a speedy rally, but not enough to offset the lead. Gamma Phi players were Miriam Stafford, Peggy Cullers, Gail Mc Credie, Roberta Moody, Nancy Lou Cullers, Barbara Leiter, Miriam Henderson, and Dorothy Clifford. The Independents entered Mega Ann Means, Mildred Widmer, Lo ree Laird, Catherine Mishler, Joe Ramsey, and Bernice Scherzinger. * * * Amphibians will hold a meeting tonight at 7:30 in the women's pool in Gerlinger hall. Diving and life-saving will be the program for the evening. * # * There will be a swimming meet between Beta Phi Alpha and Kap pa Kappa Gamma today at 4 at Gerlinger hall. ♦ * * Pi Phi squeezed out a 28 to 26 victory over the Sigma Kappas in an interhouse swimming meet held Tuesday afternoon in the women’s gym. Eleanor Norblad, Pi Phi, placed first in the 40-yard free style; Greeta Kirkpatrick, Pi Phi, first in the 20-yard breast stroke; Lou ise Beers, Sigma Kappa, in the 40 yard single overarm; Virginia Howard, Sigma Kappa, in the 20 yard racing backstroke, and Helen Wright, Pi Phi, came out winner for the plunge and diving con tests. The Independents kicked through to a 33 to 19 win over the Beta Phi Alpha team in a swimming meet Thursday afternoon. OREGON RIFLEMEN SCORE VICTORIES OVER RIVALS (Continued from Page One) B. J. Cross, 365; Rex Faust, 364; and J. C. Beard, 361. As far as is known, Neely's score is one of the highest made in the entire country this year. It is known to be the highest score shot in the Northwest this year and also the highest ever shot in competition by an Oregon stu dent. The team score made, by Ore gon in the recent match is also' noteworthy in that it is the high est ever made by a rifle team; representing this school, according to Sergeant Blythe of the military department. I Allen Will Speak On ‘Imperialism’ The policy of extending a na tion’s authority over countries and races outside of its national boun daries will be considered by Dean Eric W. Allen, of *the school of journalism tonight at 7:45 at the International house, when he talks on “Imperialism” before the campus International Rela tions club. The meeting is open to all Uni versity men, co-eds, and faculty members who are interested. The club meets regularly at Interna tional house every other Thursday evening. Its sponsor is the Carne gie Foundation for World Peace. Dr. Victor P. Morris, of the eco nomics department, is faculty ad viser. Foreign Trade Group Pledge Five Students Pan Xenia, international foreign trade and honor fraternity, pledged five men yesterday noon, at a meeting held in room 106, Com merce. The pledges are Norman Roth, Everett Horrell, Jim Smith, Arthur Dudley, and Eldon Woodin. These men will be formally initiat ed at a meeting to be held in the near future. Auten Bush, president, remarked last night that the fraternity has nine chapters in China, all of which are inactive at the present time because of the war conditions. Two at Infirmary Ivan Elliott is still in the in firmary. Georgia Lou Miller is the only other patient. She came in Tuesday night. Japanese vs. Brazil RIO DE JANIERO, (AP)—A Japanese athletic team, to include track and field stars as well as swimmers, has been invited to Brazil for matches in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first Japanese colony in Brazil. ■nnjraKaCTnnmcifarjnpcimmnmnannrjnnr Neil Outlines Recent News Of Sportland New Chicago Coach Tight Lipped About Plans Bob Sled Ride Thrills, Wethered Quits, Sports Still Draw Gold Into Coffers By EDWARD J. NEIL NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Clark “Shag’ Shaughnessy, successor o£ Lon Stagg at Chicago, makes lit le fuss about this business of turn ing out fine football teams. He is a tall, quiet, square-faced individ ual who rarely speaks until spoken to. He doesn’t go around sound ing off at set intervals on various off-season subjects. But once it became known that Shaughnessy, graduate of Minne sota, would accept the post at Chi cago, there was nothing to it. Chi cago alumni, acquainted with this pleasant, straight-forward fellow and his fine record at Tulane and joyola of New Orleans, immediate ly flung his name to the fore. Walkee Backee The swift plunge of a bob sled down the glare ice on the swerv ing, steeply banked side of a moun tain produces strange and conflict ing emotions that have been re corded variously in print. But for conciseness, clarity, simplicity, none can surpass that of the Chi nese laundry man in St. Paul years ago, when ice carnivals were the last word in winter entertainment. John stood beside a steep, fast toboggan slide on the carnival grounds watching the Caucasians scoot by. A group on the way back up the- hill stopped by the expres sionless Chinese. “Want a ride, John?” “No.” “Why not?” “Wish-sh-sh-whoosh! Walkee backee milee!” Joyce Retires It semes a shame that Joyce Wethered, greatest of all the wo men golfers and the only British champion we never could beat has chosen this time to retire once and for all from competition. She stood alone overseas, al ways in reserve to be called upon when the challenge of the invad ers, Glenna Collett, Helen Hicks, Maureen Orcutt, Virginia Van Wie and the rest, became too threaten ing. She never failed. Bobby Jones called her the greatest golfer in the game, man or woman, and she long has been a patriotic issue. Now she says she won’t play tournament golf again, regardless of the issue. She says it’s too dif ficult. “1 like golf,” she said, “but I like living more.” . Dollars Still There In these times of depression it's highly interesting to discover that it’s not entirely impossible for a new venture to crash through to financial success. For instance, Baltimore is seeing amateur hockey for the first time, and paying well for the privilege, because several local sportsmen were not afraid to take a chance. They invested $75,000 in a rink, rounded up players, got them jobs, started a tri-state league. Five times recently they’ve sold out the home house, drawing $2,200 each time. All of which just goes to show that the dollars still are there, either for amateur or professional performers, if the attraction is good enough. jSI5JSJSjaisj3MajaiaMS®aiajaisMSJSi5EMaiaiaMsisi5JsisfaisiBJSMara®aisiBJSHSMi3 1 Pay Cash and Pay Less j | TEN DAY I | Introductory Sale | j Husky College Cords f Standard $5.00 Grade Made of the finest, heaviest quality genuine HOCK MEYER pre- shrunk corduroy.

The j frosh scored first, but the prep pers took the lead at the end of the first quarter, 5 to 4. At half time Silverton held the lead to outscore the frosh 13-11. Rogers' ducklings rallied in the third- period to take the lead at the end of the third canto 22-21. The prep quintet went on a scor ing spree in the final period to win, outscoring the frosh seconds easily. Pettyjohn was the hero of the prep attack, getting the tip-off consistently from big Bill Har combe, and also tying for high point man with nine markers. Scott, Silverton forward, also rang up nine. Buck led the frosh attack with eight points, closely followed by Glenn Sanford with six. Scoring: Frosh (24) (30) Silverton Hampton (1).F. (9) Scott Johnson (3).F. (4) Kolln Harcombe.C ...

The combination that worked so effectively against Idaho Sat urday night will probably take the floor in the next game with Ore gon State. Reinhart thinks that Stevens, Olinger, Roberts, Stahl, and Robertson will be his best bet; and he's working them hard this week against Beaver plays, set up by the super-varsity. The offense that baffled ‘#3 Staters two weeks ago has been slightly altered by Bill, and he thinks it will work with even more success. Jim Watts, veteran guard, who has been troubled of late with a case of water on the elbow, is rounding into shape again and has full use of his afflicted joint. Jim has turned in some excellent games this season and last, and his return to the team is expected to add considerable strength. Ed Kunkle is definitely out for the season. His wrenched knee turned into water on the knee; it had to be tapped, and an opera tion may be necessary. Reinhart was depending on Ed’s six-foot four-inch frame to fill a forward berth and increase the height average of the team, but his plans will have to wait until next year. The third of the ‘‘little Civil War” series between the Oregon State rooks and Oregon frosh will i be played Saturday night as a pre ' liminary to the varsity contest. The first game is scheduled for 7:15. when they play they do play. Their very little overtures were from a portable, their very little stage sets by the cast of each number. They’re so very little that Florence Shumaker, Duse of ‘'Doll’s House,” next on their bill of fare, doubled last night as ticket taker. But it’s fine fun; the group is to be complimented on their spirit—the esprit that makes little theatres, and having made them, keeps them going . . . we wait for Ibsen. S-P DOLLAR DAYS! Again!
