Parrp 4 VOLUME XXXIV _ _____ g Nobody’s j Business By BRUCE HAMBY EASTERN basketball fans are' being treated to a beautiful object lesson in the old theory that it pays to keep on plugging, even after the horse apparently has been stolen, if I may mix a couple of metaphors. Columbia's Lions, the "Iron Men” of the Eastern Intercollegi ate Basketball league, are the buckos I have in mind. They aren't the best team in the lea gue, but you’ll have to go a long way to find a set of athletes with more determination. The five regulars—Owen Mc Dowell, Regis Asselin, Tom Tomb, 1 Leonard Hartman, and Bill Meisel 1 — have played their last seven i games without knowing what a substitute looked like. It isn’t 1 that there aren’t plenty of players > on the squad, but those five have proved themselves the best, and they are seeing to it that Colum bia has absolutely its greatest power on the court every minute. * * * In order to do that they have volunteered to get out every night after their regular prac tice and do two long miles over the cobbles and concrete of up per Manhattan. That doesn’t come under the head of good, clean fun at any time of day or night, but it’s positively pun ishment after a two-hour ses sion in the gym. * * * 1 But the doughty five have stuck 1 to it, and now their rivals are be ginning to take the punishment. They’re the most tirelessly aggres- j sive outfit ever seen on an eastern ( court and of late have been win- ‘ ning by the sheer process of run ning their opponents ragged. Where they looked like a second division outfit a month ago, they threaten now to finish second or 1 third. * * » The new 10-second rule isn’t j needed to keep the "Iron Men” ( going. The instant they get the ball they clatter for their bas ket; anytime the ball bounces off the backboard there are three or four Lions there to grub it. They never slow up. * * * Reggie Root, Yale’s youthful 1 head coach, had many a rib-tick ling experience during his desper ate effort to teach football to the students of the University of Mexico. His team tackled Louisiana col lege in its first international en gagement. The papers were full of the value of such a contest to both nations, the good will and international amity that could not help but follow. Editorials stres sed the beauty of the international relationship. * * * But apparently no such editori als had been printed on the United States side of the border. About the second period one of Reggie’s warriors, doing his best for the in- ' ternational cause, was taking quite a hiding. Finally he had to come out, a bit dazed and obvi- , ously not quite understanding it, one eye closed and his nose bleed ing. Reggie asked if he’d like to go back after first aid had been ren dered. "Si, senor coach.” said the youngster thoughtfully, "but 1 no think 1 play good will football this time.” Ex-Student Appointed To Important Position J. Allen iAll Smith, ex-1924 student of the University has been added, a few days ago, to the pi lot staff of the Portland-Seattle section of the United Air lines on the Pacific coast. “Al" Smith has been with Unit ed Air lines for the past two years. He first became interested in aviation as an employe in the requirements branch of Boeing Airplane company's engineering division. He attended the Boeing school of aeronautics in Oakland and graduated in 1930; joined the navy as a flying cadet, and after train ing in Pensacola, Florida, was em ployed by United Air lines as a re lief pilot. In June, 1932, he became first pi lot and was assigned to the Oma ha-Watertown route of the line, where he flew until transferred to the Portland-Seattle route recent- j iy. | Oregon State Gets Two Berths On Emerald All-Star rive ★-——- —" ; Webfoots9 Huskies, Vandals Each Place One on Mythical Team; Roberts Gets Honor EMERALD ALL-STAR NORTHERN DIVISION BASKETBALL CHOICES First Team Second Team O’Connell, O.S.C.F.

By BILL EBERHART The Emerald sports staff went into a huddle last night and merges with its annual all-Northwest conference basketball rankings, rhe season isn’t over yet, but individual performances have been loted and the season is rapidly becoming history. This year will >robably be remembered as the Oregon State renaissance or the dark iges of Oregon basketball. Oregon s own Cap Roberts is se-> ected as a first team forward, vith Skeet O'Connell, Oregon Cap Roberts male, ior a run ning mate. Cap has been handi capped by sick ness this year, but has made a marvelous show ing notwith standing. He ranks second in conferftice scor ing and his play ing has been one of the few bright pots in Oregon s record tins sea ion. He played center for the Vebfoots, but lacked the height iccessary for an outstanding pivot nan. O’Connell is the fastest forward n the league, and his dashing, Iriving style of play has put a iig punch in the Beaver offense. Skeet is only a junior, but ranks veil above the other front court nen of the league. Lewis In at Center Oregon State’s big, gangling enter, Ed Lewis, is unquestion .bly the outstanding player of the lorthern division. No other player ipproaches him in scoring and nis leight mikes him an ideal cen cr. He not only ranks above verybody else in ability, but pos esses gobs of color. Johnny Fuller and Ed Lacy ound out the first team as ■uards. Fuller was forced to ter ninate his college basketball, but lis performance prior to that time warrants his selection. Lacy play id admirably all season and as listed Idaho in achieving one of heir best records in' history. He s not a brilliant player, but a con dstent one, and is proficient in •very department. Selections for the second team nclude two from Washington State and one each from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Barrett, Idaho, and Cross, Washington State, rate the forward positions. 3oth are dangerous scoring threats and play a good floor fame. Gordon Not Up to Par Huntly Gordon has had to give way to the unbeatable Lewis this fear and be satisfied with a second earn ranking. For the last two seasons, Gordon has held the sup remacy of the center position in lie Northwest and has rated many ill-coast selections. His play this year has been good, but not up to lis former standard. Gib Olinger and Harold Lee are iwarded the guard positions. Gib las been the most consistent jlayer on the Oregon team all sea son. His individual scoring record is above reproach and he plays a strong defensive game. Only his size keeps him from being the best guard in the circuit. Lee rate? second team m e n t i o n mainly .hrougli his ability to sink those soaring long shots with amazing regularity. Nine other players narrowly missed selection on one of the two teams and are therefore given lionorable mention. Pete Wicks, fiery little Vandal, played less this season than last and afforded less opportunity for observation. But when he played, he displayed the same old skill. Kohert.Hon lilts His Stride Robertson of 0 r e g o n came through this year and played some of the ball of which he is cap able. Roland Johnson, big Cou gar forward, looked good in his first year of conference play and is a prospect for future all-confer ence material. Howard Grenier of Idaho is the only center besides Gordon and Lewis to receive men tion. He looks like the only worthy pivot man left in the league for the next year. There is a wealth of excellent rguards in the northern division, any of whom might have made the first team selections in any other year. They are Stevens, Oregon; Hurley, Idaho; Wills and Scott, Washington State; and Heaman, Washington.

My Greatest Thrill in Athletics j By BREE CUPOLETTI (As lold to Ned Simpson) W7ELL, do I remember by great 1 est thrill! It seems like ages ago that it happened and I wish it were. In the fall of 1930—my first year on the Oregon varsity, incidentally, but not the last I was playing sub guard. The great moment of my life came during the O. S. C. game that year when “Doc” Spears sent me in to stop the Orange advance towards our goal line. Imagine my surprise when they moved right over me for five or ten yards on the first play! Imagine my thrill when they made their first touchdown right over me on the next play! Ah! How many times have I thought about that terrible minute when I was fighting for the honor of my school ? How many months of agony did I experience as a result of my failure? You'll never know! Reader, you can't imagine the awful trouble experienced by the sports staff in keeping the great "Coop’s” thrill out of the Emerald as long as it was. Whenever he met any member of the said staff no matter where—he would start right in telling about how the peo ple back in Virginia, Minn., thought that he was the greatest football, basketball, hockey, base ball, tennis, golf, track, ping pong, chess, parchesi, backgammon, and tiddledy winks player in the coun try—and also, the whole world. “Coop,” the little devil, has been recently elected prexy of the Min nesota Hotary club, and takes much pleasure in the knowledge that all and sundry of his friends still speak to him on the street if they happen to see him. Seriously, Bree played football, hockey, and basketball back at his alma mater, Virginia H. S., Vir ginia, Minn. He played football under “Doc” Spears in 1930, and then took a year's rest from the strenuous sport. Last fall, how j ever, he performed under Callison and was a mainstay of the Web foot line. He has one more year of varsity competition, and will be one of the “old guard” on the line. tertainment, with a diving exhi bition, lighted candle races, and other stunts on the program. The women who attend may either swim themselves, entering the races if they wish, or may watch from the sidelines. Ping pong tables will be available for thost who do not care to swim. Food, including hot dogs for five cents, will be served at tables near the tank. WAA To Hold Election Of Officers Thursday Elections for the Women’s Ath letic association will be held Thursday from 10 to 12, and from 2 to 4, at the right hand side of the main entrance to the old lib rary.

Winetrout, in addition to winnipg this bout, also won three others. There were five contestants com peting in the first day’s bouts and all of them showed some excep tional skill with the foils. Foils were used in all of the first round bouts with sabers and epees prob ably being used today and tomor row. In winning yesterday’s bouts Winetrout had to show some clever footwork and also fast headwork. His opponents all gave him great battles in their frantic endeavors to stop his maddening pace. Following Winetrout, Bishop, slender, yet capable swordsman, came within a hair’s-breadth of winning first place in yesterday’s encounters. So tight was his battle with the first day’s champion that it had to be decided with the last point. Bishop, second place winner, was followed by Caswell, Hill, and Blair.

Mich. (AP)—The score was Purdue 13, Michigan 0 when a sophomore quarterback pranced around in front of the Michigan bench, pulled a headgear over his black curls, and began throwing passes for touchdowns. The curly-haired kid was Harry Newman. He has just completed studies for a bachelor of arts de gree at the University of Michi gan. Having passed, kicked and run his alma mater to three Big Ten A football championships since that Purdue game in 1930, Newman packed his trophies and “M” sweater in his trunk and departed for his home in Detroit to watch for opportunities in the game of life. The most enjoyable 60 seconds of his college football career, New man said, were divided between the first and last games he played for Michigan. In 1930 Purdue was beaten in the last 30 seconds of the first half and the same thing happened to Minnesota in 1932. Against Purdue it was a Newman pass and against Minnesota a New man field goal. “Any reputation I have now,” said Newman, “might blow up in the first game or two as a pro. A. forward passer and ball carrier has to depend on the rest of the team more than a tackle or end, j for example. “I know the pros will block for me if I help them all I can, but will they be satisfied that I’m y doing my best ?
