L’hinnock. VOLUME XXXIV__ ____ Page_4 _ ■—— -=-jl I Nobody’s Business By MALCOLM BAUER rpHIS column is going to do some ^ first-class crying today, wheth er you like it or not. The subject for the dissatisfaction is the same that has been discussed all over the campus since the advent of intramural athletics oh, so long ago. WHY CAN’T CUPS BE PROVIDED FOR CHAMPIONS OF DONUT TOURNAMENTS? It doesn’t seem beyond reason that intramural champs should want some emblem of their vic tories .... just any, we cry, from a silver loving cup to a safety pin. * * * Imagine how much more popu lar homecoming would be on the campus if when Joe College ’93 could hobble back to the old fire place at the Tappa Kegga house, point out a shining mug on the mantle, and say proudly, “Boys, I played No. 1 flipper on the tid dly-wink team that copped that beauty. Ain’t she a peach." And, what’s more, picture your self in the place of the robust grad who might grab a plaque hanging ' .n the den, and shout, “I was the guy who talked Mickey Vail out of the game that won this. Hot Dawg, wait’ll you hear the rest." * * * Securing cups should not be such a task. Using the system fol lowed by our own Colonel Bill Hayward in securing awards for campus track meets (that is, se curing some sort of prize from business houses in the city) should provide ample means to provide some awards for the win ners. At present, there seems to be no incentive to mural teams outside of the hip-hip-hurrah of the fresh men in the rooting sections, and an occasional bit of coveted pub licity through the channels of the campus newspaper. Think it over.

The lanky Orangeman not only showed the way in the north, but also has a good chance for the scoring honors of the coast, leading the southern division pace setter, Piper, U. O. L. A., by 31 points. Lewis' total of 157 points scored in 14 games also puts him in a favored spot to set a new higli scoring record in the northern di vision. The present mark, held jointly by Harold Stoweli of Ida ho and Huntly Gordon of Wash ington State, is 171 points. Lewis needs but 15 points in his remain ing two games against Oregon to surpass this mark and hang up a new record. Skeet O’Connell, another Or angeman, has chalked up 98 points to stay in second place ahead of "Cap” Roberts of Ore gon, who has amassed 93 counters in 12 games.

Groups •(■batching" in private homes, it was revealed, were sub sisting- on unbalanced diets and irregular meals. One trio spent but 74 cents a week for each individual’s food; others ran as high as $2.00. That a definite need existed for some such program was agreed by nu merous students and faculty mem bers.

Beavers To Take lYfiml Off Pennant With Club Fracas Multnomah Quintet To Mix With League Leaders Saturday At Corvallis OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, Feb. 24.— (Special)— Slats Gill, Oregon State basket ball coach, will sidetrack his play ers from their chase of the north ern division championship this week-end long enough to play Multnomah club of Portland here Saturday night at 7:30 o’clock. Oregon State defeated the Mult nomah players in a pre-season game by a 48 to 29 score, but since that time the Portland quintet has shown a great deal of improve ment and at present is rated as one of the best teams in Portland. With only two games, both with the University of Oregon March 3 and 4, remaining on their 1933 conference schedule, the Orange men have a good chance to take the championship as they are lead ing the University of Washington by one full game. Fruit Growers, Dcneffe’s Move Toward Croivn Eugene’s two outstanding en tries in the Willamette Valley hoop tournament for the state open championship, moved into the second round of play yesterday with one-sided victories. The Eu gene Fruit Growers won the right to further competition with a de cisive 50 to 35 win over the Stay ton Athletic club. DeNeffe's strong quintet found little trouble in downing the Benton Athletics of Corvallis 60 to 22. The two local outfits will be pitted against each other this morning at 11:30. The winner will gain a place in the semi-finals to be played tonight at the armory. \ ic* Moyers To Speak At Inaugural Banquet Lieutenant-governor Victor A. (Vic) Meyers of Washington will be one of the principal speakers at the Young Democrats' inaugural night banquet, March 4. at the Osburn hotel at 6:30 o’clock, it was announced yesterday by Eu gene Allen, publicity chairman. Tickets for the banquet are on sale at the University Co-op, and at Gosser's cafe, Allen stated. The banquet is not only for democrats, but is open to anyone who wishes to attend.

Oregon stu dents, in a talk on "Is the Gold Standard Sacred?" As an added attraction there will be featured, an anonymous har monica player, who because of his position on the campus washes to remain incognito and present his music as a mystery musician. Fourteen Rooks Get Hoop Awards OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, Feb. 24.—(Special > — Freshman basketball awards for 14 players have been recommend ed to the board of athletic control by Roy Lamb, rook basketball coach. The rooks completed one of their most successful seasons recently by winning nine games out of 12 starts. Several promising varsity pros pects played for the Orange babes this season. Bob Bergstrom and Wally Palmberg, both all-state men from Astoria, who scored 110 and 98 points respectively for the rooks, are among the most prom ising men eligible for varsity com petition from the rook squad. AILMENT MAKES VICTIM OF STAHL AFTER FIGHT (Continued from Page (hie) procured, but complications set in, and double pneumonia in its severest form claimed the stricken youth. A tribute, unsurpassed in its compass, came from Billy Rein hart, who for three years tutored Stahl on the maple court. Said Reinhart, “Homer Stahl played the game. He was one of the hardest workers on the squjid, and never at any time complained. He possessed an excellent character, was courageous, and a boy whom everyone liked." Reinhart Stays Behind In order to receive hourly re ports on Stahl’s condition, Rein hart remained behind his Oregon hoop squad, which left Thursday for Seattle, where it met the Uni versity of Washington in a con ference game last night. Not un til yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, when he found that he could no longer be of any help to the boy, did Bill leave for the north. Stahl not only “played the game" in basketball, but he also did it in life. He was a member of Delta Tan Delta social frater nity and of Beta Sigma Phi hon orary. He was an outstanding stu dent, and, despite his activities in other lines, found time to earn enough to partially defray his ex penses during his college career. He was born in Mayfield, Wis consin, June 15, 1910. and in June of 1928 he was graduated from Grant high school in Portland, where he starred in basketball. Since that time he has been a stu dent at the University and was to have received his degree this spring. Kurin I To Ke in Portland The remains will be sent to Portland for burial. The funeral ceremonies will be conducted from the chapel of Holman and Lutz in that city. Tonight, between the hours o( $:30 and 9:30, the body will lie in state at the Branstetter - Simon funeral home on Olive street, so that student friends may pay their respects. The student executive council yesterday drafted a reso lution expressing the sentiments of the student body in the loss of its beloved member. Stahl is survived by his parents. Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Stahl, of 2007 Northeast 52nd avenue, Portland, one brother, and two sisters.

There are those who would restrict the stage coaches or truck in favor of railroads, or suppress chain stores in favor of retailers. “On February 16 the Oregon senate passed a bill prohibiting the sale of prison-manufactured goods in the open market. This step is intended to protect workers against the competition of prison labor, but the motive behind the measure, the belief that any man working thereby deprives another man of a job, is a monstrous fal lacy which completely ignores the fact that one man’s labor may also create demand for the other man’s services or products. Employment of labor does not depend on a given amount of jobs which are distributed among a fixed number of workers. Employ ment fluctuates according to de mand and supply. The last thing that will relieve unemployment is the use of public money to pay men to remain idle. When a married woman cannot earn a salary, when an alien fs prevented from supporting himself and his family, when thousands of prisoners are kept from contribut ing to their maintenance, the de mand for the services of other la bor will tend to be reduced rather than increased. The state as a whole will not be enriched, but im poverished by too many restric tions. "In Minnesota the state peniten tiary has a well-organized prison industry, contributing $3,000,000 annually toward its own support and the state treasury, thus reliev ing the taxpayers by that amount. The prison factory of Sing Sing produced nearly $300,000 in 1932. In Oregon it is the taxpayer who feeds and maintains the prisoners at an annual cost of $400,000. "Some day, when saner econom ic concepts prevail, the public will insist that prisoners support them selves, instead of paying a huge dole in order to keep them idle. If the prisoners were forced to work for their maintenance, the state would be enriched by several mil lion dollars every decade. Prison goods exchanged for foods, cloth ing, raw materials and other sup plies would create a demand for the labor of others and thus in crease employment, while the tax payer's money would still be saved to be spent on other products or services.

Dozen Yearlings Given Numerals For Season Play Twelve freshmen broke into the lineup in the rook series to earn their numerals. Seven of them made their numerals in the first game and the others got in the later fracases. Glenn Sanford and Stew Milli- i gan played the most time for the frosh, each working 155 minutes of the 160. Another iron-man was Big Bill Harcombe in the center position. Pete Buck led the frosh in scor ing, ringing up a total of 32 points,. four ahead of his nearest compet itor, Milligan. Milligan was the tough boy for the frosh, committing 11 personal fouls. Big Bill Harcombe took sec ond for the doubtful honor with eight, just one ahead of Sanford. The frosh committed 40 personal fouls, or an average of 10 per game. Coach Rogers’ outfit proved their shooting eyes when they made 19 out of 40 free throws against the farmers. Stroble had the best average, getting five out of six, and Milligan was close be hind with 6 out of 8. Those who made their numerals are Pete Buck, Clayton James, Bill Harcombe, Glenn Sanford, Stew Milligan, Flash Stroble, Norm Hampton, Fletch Johnson, Hugh McCredie, Bunny Butler, Bud Johns, and Frank Levings. NEW SERVICES TO BE OFFERED STATE EDITORS (Continued from Page One) assign the 'epic to whomever is most interested in it. Limitations Necessary Several limitations will govern the service. Dean Allen said they were necessary because of the youth of the experiment and other entangling facts. The journalism school head also remarked that he was confident the experiment would enjoy success and that he was sure the editors of the state would welcome it as a helpful addition to their informational re sources. The new project is offered as an experiment with the coopera tion of the school of social sci ences, and it is not desired to pub licize it widely nor expand it greatly until it has proved its practicability and worth. In the interest of sound scholarship, the following limitations have been established: Restrictions Listed 1. Rush jobs will not be accept ed. The work is in part for the students’ educational benefit, and time must be allowed for him to test his procedures. Researches will ordinarily begin in October, January, and April, and two and a half months should be allowed. 2. Researches are for the pres ent restricted to questions that are public in their nature and either now in a controversial stage or in the editor’s opinion likely soon to become controversial, and investi gations will be undertaken only where, in the judgment of the fac ulty, there is sufficient materia! available in Oregon libraries to justify the student's expenditure of time and effort. Data Complete 3. Reports furnished to the edi tor will consist of a definition of the problem, a list of the best available books, pamphlets, docu ments, and magazine and news paper articles bearing on this problem, with data as to where they may be obtained. To this will be added a report of the opinions of the best available experts on the University faculty and else where available as to the compara tive authenticity of the various items of published material on the subject, the student's own review of the literature and history of the question, his statement of the solu tions proposed by various authori - ^a3Hiuiiiiiimuiim]ui!Muim'.iii.!ibnuBiitiiiiiiiiui!iiiiii<iimiiii;M'iiii>umiiiimiuii,!>'i For This Week-end | Give Your Partner | a Thrill by Sending Her | a Corsage i § i From THE I UNIVERSITY FLORISTS 598 13th—Ph. 654 , Orchids-Gardenias | — and — | = | Many Other Appropriate | Corsage Flowers 1 Bronx Cheer in Basketball Must Go, Says Kansas Coach (Editor's note: Here are printed the sentiments of one of the country’s outstanding basketball coaches on the suo jeet of rowdyism in the stands at hoop contests.

Pink staff Startles Physics Staff With 100% Quiz Paper A miracle has happened, and ev ery member of the physics staff is toppling on the verge of utter be wilderment. For the first time in the mem ory of professors, a student has written a perfect paper in physi cal science! The lucky (or should a feat of such brilliance be termed ‘‘lucky" ?) student is Gay Pink staff, freshman, social science ma jor. In an hour exam in the survey of physical science, out of 136 pos sible points, Pinkstaff made a to tal of 136. Eight members of the physics staff corrected the papers—and even eight critical, unbelieving pairs of eyes could find no mis take. A perfect paper in physical science!—there was never such as tonishment among graders. However, there was some relief on the other side of the scale, for in the same exam one student re ceived 11 points and several had 33. Dr. F. C. Allen, veteran athletic director and coach of the Univer sity of Kansas, who was a leader in the major change in the basket ball rules last year—adoption of the 10-second regulation has come out in opposition to blatant rowdyism expressed in the form of booing, hissing, and the well known Kronx cheer. “While stalling had its draw backs,” Doctor Allen says, “I think that booing and rowdyism in basketball crowds are getting so bad that unless definite steps are made to curtail them, they will kill the game. “It seems all wrong to me that we permit the public, because it pays some money, to deride, cajole and abuse the officials.” The Kansas coach, who is dis trict chairman of the N. C. A. A. rules body, has a remedy: “Serve notice to the public that booing will not be tolerated,” he says; “that it is considered un sportsmanlike, that anyone found booing will be escorted to the box office, and after his money is re funded he will be asked to leave the building. i “I expect to bring this up at the meeting of our national associa tion in New York in April and I also expect to bring it up at the joint rules committee meeting. “In my opinion, this is the next big drive to put on.” Penn University Student Missing Since January 6 Henry H. Gibbs Disappears After Making Threats of Suicide; Memory Lapse Feared A letter received by the Emer ald editor this week from H. C. Gibbs, 1821 Newton street, N. W., Washington, D. C., requests that all students be on the lookout for his son, Henry Huntington Gibbs, a 20-year-old sophomore at the Wharton School of Finance, Uni versity of Pennsylvania, who dis • appeared from that institution about 4 p. m., January 6, 1933. Young Gibbs vanished after sending letters ' to his father and to W. Chattin Wetherill, director of student welfare at the university, threatening suicide and stating that his body would never be found. It is feared that he has suffered a lapse of memory from a nervous breakdown due to overstudy and financial worry. Gibbs is a tall, blond boy, six l feet, three or four inches tall, and j weighs from 135 to 145 pounds. He ! has light golden-brown hair and grey-blue eyes. His left arm is slightly crooked from a break one inch above the elbow. At the time of his disappearance, he probably wore a dark blue suit with a dou ble-breasted coat, a dark over coat, and either black or tan shoes. Any information leading to knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing student will be appre ciated by his father and by Mr. Wetherill.
