SPONSORS of the intramural
sports program should be grat
ified at the large turnout which
witnessed tne n
nals of the cam
pus wrest] ing
tourney yes ler
day afternoon. It
was the largest
crowd seen at
^ any of the intra
mural matches
■i this year, and
can be interpret
•i ed as an indica
Gin Olinger tion or me rising
popularity of donut athletics.
Intramural athletics are defi
nitely on the upgrade. The dras
tic reductions made in intercolle
giate activities at colleges and
universities of the country have
led to the development of broader
and more interesting intramural
programs. At Cornell the aban
donment of all spring sports was
offset by the inauguration of an
intramural system with varsity
coaches aiding in coaching and
running of contests. The same is
true at countless other institu
tions.
* * *
Here at Oregon 18 different
sports are offered on the annual
intramural calendar. They vary
all the way from ping pong and
horseshoes to baseball and
track. At present there are
several either going on or just
completed. According to figures
gathered by the directors of the
intramural activities, more than
50 per cent of the men on the
campus participated last year.
* * »
With all the interest that is
manifestly being shown in this
type of athletics I can’t see why
the directors don’t make an effort
to obtain trophies of some kind
as a reward to the winner of each
sport. Outside of a few news
paper clippings the house or or
ganization winning an intramural
sport has nothing to show for it.
It would certainly stimulate even
more interest than at present, for
there is nothing like a silver cup
for the mantel or a plaeque to give
zest to the winning of a donut
title.

Frosh To Resume Rook Hoop Series Tonight At Farm
Third Battle
Doped To Be
E ven-Steven
Each Have Earlier Win in
‘Little Civil War’
Rogers Undecided Upon Starting
Uine for Tilt; Tip-off
To Be at 7:30
By JACK CHINNOCK
Tonight the fro.sh will make
their second visit to Corvallis, the
rook stronghold for the third bat
tle of the little “civil war.’’ In the
first game of the series the duck
lings took the rooks at Corvallis
31 to 27. The second skirmish
went to the Orange Babes at Mc
Arthur court, 29-27.
The game tonight will probably
be as closely fought as the first
two. The frosli chance lies in the
ability of the guards to stop the
two big rook scoring threUts,
Falmberg and Bergstrom. These
two men alone contributed over
half of the rook’s points in the
first half of the series.
Munford Hus Tough Job
To Glenn Sanford will probably
go thp work of holding Palmberg
down, as in the last games. San
ford did an excellent piece of
work defensively in both the other
games, forcing Palmberg to shoot
from the center of the floor. In
the last , game alone, Palmberg
took 17 of his 22 shots from the
vicinity of the center circle. Stew
Milligan, who will probably be
shifted forwar dagain, will be op
posed to Bergstrom.
Offensively, Rogers will proba
bly rely on Buck, Stroble, and
Sanford for points. Flash Stroble
was the hero of the first game of
the series, coming in with only sev
en minutes to play and scoring
eight points to give the frosh a
safe lead. Pete Buck kept the
frosh in the second game by his
stellar shooting. Both he and
Stroble should give the rook
guards plenty to worry about.
Sanford’s shooting eye has been n
little erratic all season, but his
ability to work the ball into posi
tion should be a great help to the
others.
Hareombe or >1011108?
Red Rogers is undecided yet as
to whether he will start Big Bill
Hareombe or Clayton James. Har
combe holds the advantage in
height, and his presence guaran
tees the frosh the tip-off. James
is stronger offensively, but his
height handicaps him for the cen
ter berth.
Coach Rogers will take along
his entire squad, and if the game
does become one-sided, either way,
he will put in his seconds, saving
the regulars for the final game of
the series, which will be played
here on Saturday night. The squad
will leave this afternoon for Cor
vallis. The opening tip-off will be
at 7:30.

and Skeet O'Connell. These two

Roberts and Gib Olinger will have

Down With 8-Inch Cup!
mmwtm®
&
Hero Donald K. Moe, Oregon’s premier golfer, shows none of the
anger which seized him yesterday when asked to state his opinion (
of the proposed enlargement of golf cups. In no uncertain tones Moe
voiced his disapproval of the new plan, stating that it would remove
many qualifications of skill from the ancient pastime.
Eight-Inch Cup Would Send
Golf to Bow-Wows, Says Moe
By NED SIMPSON
Found with his nose buried in
large and fearsome law tomes,
Donald K. Moe, golf chantp par
excellence, was last night per
suaded to give the Emerald his
views on the recent proposal to
change the size of golf cups from
4 Vi inches to an even 8 inches
in diameter. Moe, regarded as
one of the best golfers on the Pa
cific coast, said that he was ab
solutely opposed to any such
change.
After pondering a few mo
ments, Don said, "The reason I
don’t at all favor this move is
one that involves some technicali
ties. Fundamentally, the game of
golf is one that requires a high
degree of skill and coordination
in anyone who hopes to become a
really good player. If the holes
were enlarged to 8 inches, the
game would be robbed of a cer
tain necessary skill in the art of
putting, and would as a result be
come so easy as to lose all appeal
to the player who plays golf for
the thrill of overcoming difficul
ties and hazards.”
Moe’s views on the subject are
substantiated by the recent state
ment of the eminent Bobby Jones
when he said that (with the
larger hole) "it might make an
interesting game, but it wouldn't
be golf.” Other prominent golf
ers, among them the three pio
neers of the ancient and honorable
Scotch game Sandy Herd, Harry j
Vardon, and James Braid agree!
with Jones that the suggested
change would not be likely to help
the game.
Several weeks ago, Gene Sara
zen, British and United States
Open champ, proposed that this
change be made for the following
reason. Sarazen claims that when
a dub and an expert play a game
of golf together the game works
out the following way. The duffer
approaches within about 25 feet
of the pin, while the expert will
usually come nearly 10 feet from
it. Both will take two putts to
hole out. If the hole is enlarged
to 8 inches, the expert will inevi
tably sink his ball in one stroke,
while the duffer, from farther
away, will still usually miss.
Prominent players who side with
Sarazen are Leo Diegel and A1
Espinosa, both American profes
sionals now playing on this coast.
Getting back to Don for a mo
ment, he tells us that his greatest
thrill in golf came when he won
the Western Open championship
in 1931. He has been a member
of the United States Walker Cup
teams for the past two years, and
before that was helping the Ore
gon varsity win the Coast Inter
collegiate golf crown. Don says
that his law work keeps him from
keeping his game up to perfec
tion, and that the best he can do
now is about 75 for the eighteen.
Say, did we hear someone brag
ging that they broke a hundred
yesterday ?
Jockey (pilhert
Asks for Break
MIAMI, Fla., Fob. 16.—(AD —
Johnny Gilbert, modest Syrian
youth who scored 212 wins last
year as a jockey, goes quietly
about the Hialeah park track here
and thinks about the coming Ken
tucky derby.
He has visions of riding a win
ner perhaps a son of the mighty
Man o'War in that famous clas
sic next May.
His hopes are pinned to the fact
that Samuel Kiddle purchased his
contract last fall and that in the
Riddle stable are two promising
colts War Glory and War Stripes
that are eligible for the Church
ill Downs mile - and - a - quarter
jaunt. War Glory, Gilbert says, is
the more likely candidate.
"Let me have a horse with a
chance," he said, "and I'll be in the
thick of the battle."

Keltner Flings Clark To Win
Heavyweight Mat Title; Four
Donut Crowns Go to Yeomen
By BEN BACK
Although outweighed nearly 45
pounds, Francis Kellner, heavy
weight wrestler belonging to Sig
ma Chi, flashed a brilliant attack
to beat Howard “Dutch” Clark,
Fiji champion of last year, to take
the heavy crown in the feature
intramural wrestling match on
last night’s card.
The Yeomen took four of the
seven titles with their assortment
of clever wrestlers. Yeomen win
ning crowns this year were Bryan
Ryan, Ray Clapp, Fred Sears, and
Fred Mountain. Each of these
wrestlers had little trouble with
their respective opponents.
In the 125 pound encounter be
tween Norman Burke, Theta Chi,
who won the title last year and
Ryan, Yeoman, Burke was d(ut
rushed and outwrestled by the
Yeoman star. Ryan won the match
in 5:45 minutes.
Ray Clapp gave Bennie Har
greaves little opportunity to show
what he could do in their tussle
for the lightweight crown. Har
greaves tried hard to get Clapp off
his back but succeeded only to
have him get on again. Finally.
Clapp pinned a crucifix hold on
Hargreaves to decide the cham
pionship. Time of the fall was
5:04.
Choppie Parke tried heroically
to throw Freddie Mountain but
Mountain lived up to his name by
not letting him do so. Parke gave
a good account of himself but
found Mountain a little too tough
to get rid of. Mountain had a big
time advantage at the end of the
fall which occurred in 5:24 min
utes. These boys fought in the
155 pound class. Parke represent
ed Beta Theta Pi, while Mountain
is a Yeoman.
The surprise of the whole tour
nament occurred when the terror
of Sigma hall was set .loose in the
same ring with Campbell Larssen,
Sigma Chi. Red McCaffery not
only chased Larssen up one side of
the ring and down the other, but
also clamped every hold imagin
able on his poor opponent who was
at his wits end trying to get out
of them. It took McCaffery a lit
tle over 6:58 to. finally take the
fall. They wrestled in the 165
pound class.
Although Chuck Johnson did not
lose his pants this time he at
tained what he was seeking when
he entered the tournament by an
nexing the 175-pound crown. His
opponent, Bob Parke, Beta, did
not have much of a chance to show
what he could do because of John
son’s superior mat technic. Parke,
however, made things decidedly
tough during the early stages of
the match. Once he boosted John
son out of the ring with a shoul
der butt.
Another boy who furnished a
distinct surprise was Keltner who
looked like a mouse compared to
Clark. Clark did not gain much
advantage and consequently lost
the decision through this route.
Keltner displayed some clever
wrestling ability to overcome
Clark's superior weight and
strength.
The matches were witnessed by
a large and enthusiastic audience
which nearly filled the gym.

will Kermit “Warhoop” Stevens,
midget forward.
These two hoopsters have borne
the brunt of the Webfoot attack
throughout the season, and will let
no opportunity slip that will give
them a chance to pack away their
suits with a triumph over the
Staters.
Husky Meets Cougar
The University of Washington’s
Huskies will have no easy time of
it, themselves, this week-end. Only
a few percentage points ahead of
Oregon State in the standings, Hec
Edmundson’s five will travel to
Pullman where they fight it out
in a two-game series with Wash
ington'State Friday and Saturday.
Last week at Seattle, the Husk
ies turned back the Cougars twice
in a row by narrow margins, but
they will need a like number of
victories in the coming series to
maintain their lead.
It’s just a case of who will weak
en first in the chase for the title.
The Huskies have six more games
left, while Oregon State has only
the three Oregon tilts remaining.
In addition to the Washington
State games this week-end, the
Washington squad has a pair of
two-game series left with Oregon
and Idaho.
Can the Webfoots again give
the Purple that helping hand?
