The defeat of tne
Washington Hus
kies by Idaho
last night just
about ended Hec
Edm undson's
hopes for a fifth
successive north
ern division title.
The, champion
ship is not yet
clinched, but the
odds in Oregon
State’s favor are
large enough to
offset all mathe
matical possibil
ities during the
next two weeks. In fact, the Or
angemen can not be sure of the
crown until the final game with
Oregon, here at McArthur court,
on March 4.
# * #
Here are the possible man
ners in which Oregon State
might be edged out of the title
—all a bit improbable:
Oregon could defeat Oregon
State in the two remaining
games, leaving Oregon State
with 10 victories and six defeats
to end the season.
Counting on a Washington
victory tonight, the Huskies
could then split with Oregon
and still end in a tie with Gill’s
quintet.
Washington State could win
the remaining three games on
its schedule with Idaho and thus
make a three-way tie.
* * *
The weak points in the above
arguments are that Washington
State will have a merry time de
feating the energetic Idaho quin
tet, that Oregon will have an even
merrier time downing Oregon
State, and that Washington will
probably lose a game to the Web
foots.
ip V
Therefore the season will most
likely end with the following
standings:
W. L. Pet.
Oregon State 11 5 .688
Washington . 10 6 .025
Wash. State . 9 7 .563
Idaho . 7 9 .438
Oregon . 3 13 .188
* * *
It’s always nice to notice the
smiling countenance of some for
mer Oregon student in the news
papers. Did you nice the one of
Arden X. Pangborn in yesterday
morning's Oregonian ? Pangborn
was one of the most illustrious
journalists ever to get out of the
Journalism shack and secure a job.
At present he is a very valuable
member of the sports staff of the
Oregonian, supervising makeup on
the sports page—which is proba
bly why his picture got on that
page.
* * #
Mr. X. Panborn was sports
editor and editor of the Emer- !
aid some years back, before
which he was an all-star football i
player at Commerce high in
Portland. He is a great admirer :
of Wetbrook Pegler and an even
greater enthusiast of the work 1
of Edward J. Neil. He plays
squash and tennis and according
to Editor Neuberger, has the j
grace of a man playing with an i
anvil under each arm.

“Commodore" N'ot V'et Decided on
Squad for Seattle Trip;
Oregon Given Chance
Commodore Bill Reinhart takes
his Webfoot capers to Seattle this
week-end to put the finishing
touches on the complete fade out
of the University of Washington’s
championship hopes. Although
trailing the pack with but one win
as compared to 11 defeats, the
Ducks are given nearly an even
break against the Huskies, minus
Capt. Johnny Fuller.
Fuller’s absence was felt keenly
Monday and Tuesday night at
Moscow, and Hec Edmundson’s
athletes seemed to lack the fire
that gave them two victories over
Oregon at Eugene earlier in the
season.
Ducks Get Better
On the other hand, Reinhart’s
squad has been improving since
the disastrous two-game series
with the Purple hoopsters. On
two different occasions they have
thrown a scare into the league
leading Oregon State Beavers, and
although they have both times
finished on the short end of the
score, things look bright for a re
juvenated Webfoot five to invade
the big court of the Huskies Fri
day night.
The Ducks came through Satur
day night’s Oregon State battle
with but one slight injury. Pep
pery "Red” Rotenberg, reserve
forward, did not turn up at prac
tice last night because of a knee
injury sustained in the Beaver
tilt.
Rest of Squad O. K.
The rest of the squad is in per
fect playing condition, and the
long list of reserves promise to
make a great fight for the privi
lege of being on the traveling
squad. Sure tq be among those
who will invade the Husky strong
hold with “the Commodore” are
“Cap” Roberts, Hermit Stevens,
Jack Robertson, Gib Olinger, Hank
Simons, Homer Stahl, Bill Berg,
and Jim Watts. The other two to
make up the usual 10 on the
suad will be chosen from such
candidates as Ralph Terjeson, La
Grande Houghton, Bob Miller, and
Red Rotenberg.
WASHINGTON SAT FOR
PAINTERS, SCULPTORS
(Continued Irani t’age One)
ferent pictures of the “Father of
His Country.” Even so, his col
lection of contemporary portraits
of Washington is still incomplete,
Professor Dunn told his interview
er yesterday. One of Charles Will
son Peale’s nephews spent, most
of his time copying one particular
ly good portrait made by his uncle.
Using the same head, he varied
the pose of the body.
“Despite the accentuation ac
corded the deep eye sockets, the
high cheek bones, the receding
brow, the longish chin, the full
mouth, these reproductions, when
ever published from unexpected
quarters, are habitually greeted
with the attribute, ‘a human
Washington’,” Professor Dunn said
of this nephew's copies in a talk
over radio station KOAC at Cor
vallis last night at 7:45.
In his radio talk he described
briefly each of the portraits from
which the 12 stamps of the bi-cen
tennial commemorative series were
made. Though four of them are
described by “Time" as "unusual,”
all are in his collection. It is
hoped that a display of these por
traits and stamps may be ar
arranged in the main library the
| last of this week, as today is the
201st anniversary of Washington’s
birth.
Stories of the making of some
of the originals of the pictures in
Professor Dunn's album are truly
thrilling. A piece of bed ticking' in
the camp at Valley Forge was the
canvas for one of the most reveal
ing of Peale’s painting's. Peale was
with Washington throughout the
Revolution and knew him intimate
ly. This painting is now the prized
possession of the state normal
school at West Chester, Pennsyl
vania. It was the original of the
head on the three-cent stamp is
sued during last year's bi-centen
nial celebration.
The portrait presented on the
one-eent issue in green is one of
the most famous the Houdon
bust. "Romance enters into the
story,” Professor Dunn remarked
in his radio speech, "when we learn
that the Old Dominion, Washing
ton's own native state, contracted
with Jean Antoine Houdon. a
French sculptor of international
fame, to abandon royal and im
perial patronage in Europe, in or
der to cross the Atlantic and exe
cute a marble of America's first
citizen."

ON THE
SIDELINES
hu Edward d Neil_
E’RNIE SCHAAF is dead, a fine,
*J upstanding youngster mowed
down in one of the rare duels to
the death that sprinkle boxing’s
history. And no one ever will
know, though it brings twinges of
remorse to the experts’ hearts
right now just thinking such
things, whether the last battle of
the blonde young sailor from Bos
ton was fought strictly on its
merits.
There is more than mere lust
for pulling in fire alarms any
-.ioa snouuumm oqi si oaain sun}
diet of a couple dozen boxing writ
ers that something is wrong with
any one prize fight. Such was the
case the night in Madison Square
Garden that Schaaf was fatally in
jured by the big fists of Primo
Camera.
It would seem self-evident that,
on the very face of things, no fight
that ended in death could possibly
be faked. Some of the brethren
based their suspicions on the
amazing ending in the 13th round
that saw Schaaf go down, collap
sing mentally and physically, from
a left jab to the nose that of itself
would not have bothered a fly
weight.
The boys at the ringside never
had seen that happen before to a
heavyweight, and particularly to a
heavyweight as durable as Ernie
Schaaf had been. They had no t
way of peering inside the blond
boy’s head, to see the hemorrhage J
surgeons saw three days later.1
Was it surprising that they looked
on askance as 20,000 discouraged
patrons united in one long cry —
’’fake!”
* * *
1. After training lightly in Bos
ton, Schaaf came to New York
one week before the fight and
boxed just four days.
2. He had just recovered from
an attack of influenza so severe
that it required hospital treat
ment, yet no request was made for
a postponement, although it was
known that Camera had trained
faithfully five solid weeks in an
isolated camp.
3. Jack Sharkey, against whom
the winner of the match was ti
fight for the world championship
in June, was Schaaf’s adviser,
owned half his contract, acted as
his chief second.
4. Sharkey announced that he
would not, Tinder any circum
stances, fight Schaaf for the
heavyweight title, leaving Camera
alone as a possible opponent if the
champion were to earn himself
$200,000 or so in June.
5. The day before the fight,
Madison Square Garden signed
Camera to meet Sharkey in June,
although he still had to beat
Schaaf.
6. Odds on the fight shifted
overnight from 8 to 5 on Schaaf
to 2 to 1 on Camera and offers
of 5 to 1 were made as the gladi
ators entered the ring.
7. From the start Schaaf was
slow, sluggish, hitting weakly,
whereas he had been a human de
stroyer knocking out Stanley
Poreda a few weeks earlier.
8. He walked straight into Car
nera, exactly the way Primo
might have asked him to fight, a
mark for a left jab, and the
Italian was so confident he took
time out occasionally to leer at the
crowd.
9. In Schaaf's corner was Shar
key, who had demoralized Camera
with the weaving, feinting style
the Italian can’t beat, yet appar
ently he never told Ernie.
10. Schaaf was losing steadily,
but apparently hale, when he col
lapsed from a left jab.
Gentlemen of the jury, what’s
the verdict?
* * *
Retrospection could do no harm.
If a dead man had been maligned
a crime greater than bad writing
had been done. Taking an unfair
advantage does the victim little
harm in the long run. But it can
ruin your own self-respect.
So the experts got out their pen
cils. Ten suspicious circumstances
were set down. They are offered
hereby to the jury, sworn to ac
cept only the testimony it sees and
knows to be proven.
Robertson Gets Nickname
From Mysterious Practice
By HAZLE CORRIGAN
Jack Robertson, Oregon's agile
forward, who played the best |
game of his career against Ore
gon State Saturday, has a nick
name, too. “Spook" he has been
since his freshman days. Well,
you see, it was this way: Mr. Jack
Robertson had a habit of disap
pearing on Saturdays you know,
when there is so much work for
freshmen in a fraternity house —
and so his fraternity brothers
christened him the “Spook."
“I like to play two-handed
rummy,” he said during an inter
view ut basketball practice late
yesterday afternoon, but he didn't
say who he plays with. He is a
bridge player of no mean accomp
lishment also. But he isn't so en
thusiastic about dancing. Rumor
has it, however, that his freshman
and sophomore activities centered
around high school girls, but of
course he would not want to have
that known around the campus.
One thing that he can’t deny,
however, is that during basketball
seasons he gets a host of telephone
calls from girls.
It had been conceited enough to
think that it did some good to go
out and be very enthusiastic for
the team, but, when I approached
the subject of the value of cheer
ing, "Spook” said, "We don't even
care. We are trained to isolate
ourselves against any influence
from the stands. Oh, of course,
we appreciate having the fans
come to see us play. And as for
booing the referee, we sometimes
feel about the same way as those
in the stands.

between the National Collegiate
Athletic association and the A. A.
U. ever since the sensational clash
between the latter group and the
one and only Charley Paddock
back in 1923.
In March of that year "the
world’s fastest human" finished
up his work at U. S. C., received
his degree and was invited to run
in the all-world college meet in
Paris. He started, and* here is
where the big moguls of the A. A.
U. stepped in with what Temple
ton terms as “dirty politics.”
A. A. U. Says No
Paddock was informed that he
could not run abroad because it was
the high and mighty ruling of the
wise heads on the A. A. U. pay
roll that American amateur ath
letes* could not compete across the
water. Here Charley foxxed the
"foxys,” however, and set sail for
France. He ran, and he won.
This was only the beginning of
a feud between Paddock and the
A. A. U?—a feud which dragged
out until Paddock finally gave up
competitive running. The N. C. A.
A. at once took up the cause of
the former college star, and to this
day they have locked horns on ev
ery important issue.
“Kick ’Em Out,” Says Dink
“The situation is rotten,” says
Dink, and he finally works himself
up to: “It is inevitable the N. C.
A. A. will some day get so sick
and tired of the cheap politics put
on by the A. A. U. that it will
kick the self styled "gentlemen
sporteurs’ and tin horns clear out
of the picture.”
It is within the power of the
college group to do just this thing.
Someday the big guns behind the
cheap bids for publicity made by
the A. A. U. will get intercollegiate
officials aroused to such an extent
that they will sound out their own
doom.
And after the many Paddock
cases, and the recent Babe Did

the days of the ancient old racket
of A. A. U. rulings were num
bered.

so, whenever the physics depart

the ice on delivery, because the
deliverer would bring it over to
Deady hall early in the morning,
put it in the cupboard, take two
coupons out of the book which was
left there for him, and go away—
leaving the physics department 50
pounds of ice, without them being

Finally Professor Norris’ ire be

Go Hand in Hand
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 21—(API —
A basketball player who “doubles

Fiorani got an opportunity to
put his training in an Iron Moun

recently when the Hilltoppers
sought food after a game in
Detroit.
With only a half-hour to train
time the hungry athletes — with
appetites befitting huskies who
strike a 189-pound average — de
scended upon a small Detroit
restaurant whose entire kitehen
and office staff consisted of one
man.
So big Marianno peeled off his
coat and, while the restaurateur
fried the steaks, he “drew” coffee
and “slung the hash” to his 11
mates and Coach Bill Chandler.
The party made the train with
five minutes to spare.
