VOLUME XXXIV _UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933___Page 4
Nobody’s
Business
By BRUCE HAMBY
1 CERTAINLY agree with Mr.
Gregory of the Morning Ore
gonian when he remarked yester
Bill Reinhart
day iiiui
the dispute over
the officials be
tween Oregon
and Oregon State
is unfortunate at
this time. And I
also agree with
certain people
around the cam
pus who believe
that Mr. Gregory
should find out
what he is writ
Jilg UUUUk WCiinv “
umn ridiculing the University of
ficials and coach.
Evidently Gregory wrote his
column before he had learned the
facts of the case. The first stories
were released from Corvallis and
naturally presented the Beavers'
side of the argument. This re
lease of the story was made after
the Oregon State officials had
promised Hugh Rosson anil Bill
Reinhart that they would keep the
matter quiet in hopes that a set
tlement could be reached. This
they did not do.
* * *
Over at Corvallis the Inquiry
is: “What’s wrong with Pilu
so?” Nothing at all, except that
he asked to be relieved of the
task of refereeing the games.
Oregon officials agreed, and
asked Carl Lodell and Slats Gill
V to name someone else, giving
them the privilege of naming
anyone they might choose.
* * *
But here’s one thing that I can’t
understand. Just why is Oregon
State so insistent upon having
Piluso? Every odd in the books
is in their favor. The league
leaders- are meeting the cellar
champions. They should be able
to win without a referee. But, no,
they must have Emil Piluso to
night at Corvallis.
* * *
Oregon is certainly within its
rights in asking that a substi
tute official be named. And the
Webfoot officials have given the
Beavers every break possible by
offering to let them name the
man, or men, without even con
sulting Eugene on the matter.
Ralph Coleman, of the Oregon
State campus, is entirely satis
factory. Bobby Morris, very
popular at every school except
Oregon State, would do. Fol
gate of Whitman would fill the
breach very well, for he has a
fine reputation around Spokane
and Walla Walla. Reinhart even
consented to let Slats Gill offi
ciate. But the Beavers must
have Piluso. Figure out your
own answer.
* * *
Piluso gave as his reason for
being relieved of the job: “Due to
the fact that no effort is being
made to curtail the students at the
University of Oregon in voicing
their opinion at decisions made in
a basketball game, 1 think it wise
that you secure someone else
who will be satisfactory to offici
ate your next games with Oregon
State college.
“A minimum amount of help
from the students could be toler
ated and is to be expected, but it
became the regular occurrence to
voice mass opinion at every deci
sion rather than occasionally. This
not only jeopardized the short
lived life of an official, but also
one's individual responsibility.”
* * *
The Barometer sports editor
comments on the above letter as
follows: "He (Piluso) merely
disliked the spirit shown by Uni
versity students at basketball
games and we may well imagine
that he would, for the University
is well noted up and down the
coast for its unsportsmanlike
conduct at athletic contests. If
Piluso's ears gathered only a few
of the many uncomplimentary,

Hobby’s Sons
Have Grand
Hoop Record
Ashland Squad Composed
Of Eight Freshmen
Lack of Funds Stand In Way of
Trip to National Tourney
At Kansas City
ASHLAND, March 2—(Special)
—"Hobby” Hobson’s Southern Ore
gon Normal basketball team, who
y eriLcx ictcjv
ed an invitation
to represent the
Oregon district
in the national
basketball cham
pionships at Kan
sas City next
week, have an
enviable record
behind them.
The Sons have
Howard Hobson won their last 11
games, 6 of them played away
from home, and boast of a sea
son’s mark of 18 victories to 5
defeats. All five of these setbacks
were late avenged, and only one
team — Oregon Normal — has se
cured an even break with Hob
son’s five.
Beat Ducks Three Times
Among their victories the Nor
mal squad boasts three over the
University of Oregon, two over the
strong Willamette university ag
gregation, three over Multnomah
club of Portland, and one over De
Neffe’s of Eugene, recent winner
of the state open court title.
The Sons have played and beat
en every outstanding club in the
state with the exception of Ore
gon State college.
The impressive thing about the
record of Hobson's squad is that
it was made with eight freshmen,
none of whom had played college
basketball before. The squad is
composed of Ward Howell, cen
ter; Willard Jones, Len Yandle,
Elton Forncrook, and C. Patter
son, forwards; and Budd Jones,
Dick Jockisch, and Lyle Reeder,
guards. Willard Jones and Howell
are the scoring aces of the team,
tallying 216 and 211 points respec
tively in game? played to date.
Money Needed for Trip
It has not yet been decided
whether the Normal squad will
make the trip east for the tourna
ment because of the lack of funds.
Hobson plans to accept the invita
tion of the A. A. U. board, how
ever, if financial arrangements can
be made.

from the Lemon-Yellow rooting
section at the last Orange bas

should certainly not blame him
for refusing to visit the Oregon
court again."

Personally, I can’t comment on
the authenticity of the above
; statement, for the Oregon State
j rooting section was directly be
| hind the McArthur court press box
l and it was hard enough to con

listen to anything else, over the

This is not meant as a "smart
retort” to the Barometer. Mr.
Gregory was there, himself, and
can vouch for the truth of it.

Virile 'Gorilla’ Berg Doesn’t

one up, and gets
through break
fast last, accord
ing to reports
from those who
know.
It seems that
a certain red
head gave “Goril
la" Berg, Ore
gon's guard, the
go-by in Seattle
last week. Of
bourse, as he tells
1L. A U1UU L waul LIA lilU L A-itl -
Grande Houghton's feelings. And
anyway, I didn’t want to run any
competition with Houghtop, Watts,
anil Miller.
“I don’t like girls,” he said. But
he likes dancing all right. “Well,
I can’t dance without girls, so I
guess they are all right after all,
especially if they’re peppy. But I
don't have a chance when there are
so many good-looking men on the
team.
“One of the greatest events of
my life occurred on the Idaho trip.
It was the honor of having the
great Kermit Stevens for a room
mate. I guess the other event of
my life was meeting Jimmy Em
mett from Corvallis.”
Berg is particularly fond of
sweets and training rules cause a
great hardship for him. He dis
likes baseball because it is too
slow. Basketball is his favorite
sport and golf is next in line.
“Rourke, Simons, and Houghton
make up the team’s musical trio.
I think they plan to go on the
stage after basketball season.
Where ? Oh, the Roxy in New
York.”
Before every game Berg annoys
the team by tapping his feet for
fear he will fall down. One mem
ber of the team wishes that Berg
lived where it snows oftener. He
wouldn’t need any snowshoes.
Berg is very much interested in
music. He attends concerts when
ever he is not away on basketball
trips. One of his ambitions is to
travel, but he isn't interested in
Africa. He is a business adminis
tration major and lives in Eugene.
“The best sportsman in the con
ference is Emil Piluso,” he said,
“but be sure to put a question
mark after that."

Saber Wielders To Make Trip
To Seattle for Matches
During Holidays
It was up to Jimmy Blair to
win the all-campus fencing tour
nament after he had lost in the
opening rounds of the foils con
tests. He was crowned champion
of all three classes yesterday, foils,
sabers, and epees, after he had suc
cessfully overcome Joe Bishop in
the final bout of the night. Had
Bishop won, three fencers would
have been tied for first place hon
ors.
Blair, in what was the best bout
of the evening, took sturdy Lee
Winetrout by surprise with a vic
ious attack which completely be
wildered the Zeta hall boy. How
ever, once Winetrout got started
Blair found it no easy matter to
gain his touches. The final count
of this bout was 5-1 in Blair’s fa
vor.
John Caswell, who up to last
night had generally been rated the
dark horse of the tournament lost
all his scheduled bouts. Two of
these he lost to Winetrout and
Blaft- after some excellent fencing
and the other by forfeit to Joe
Bishop, who arrived late.
The boys participating in the
tournament this year will make a
trip to Seattle during spring vaca
tion in order to compete with the
University of Washington fencing
team. Fencers who will probably
make the trip are as follows:
James Blair, No. 1; Lee Winetrout,
No. 2; Joe Bishop, No. 3; John Cas
well, No. 4; and Irvin Hill, No. 5.

Fighting Their Way Back
Oregon performance against the
Huskies in Seattle last week-end
brings the Webfoots up to a par
with the Staters as far as dope
on tonight’s game is concerned. In
fact, Oregon entertains a slight
psychological advantage, for they
will go into the game with no
thoughts of a possible champion
ship to bother them. Whereas the
Beavers are likely to be concerned
with delusions of grandeur and
let the ball game slip through theit
nervous fingers, an assumption
that in no way reflects upon Ore
gon State’s fitness to be division
champions, but merely that any
team in similar circumstances is
subject to the same state of mind.
The second tilt of the two-game
series is scheduled for tomorrow
night in McArthur court. Both
games are set for 7:30.
