B'>,, K'ddle, Kooeria s_ VOLUME XXXIV _ UNIVERSTY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933______Page4 Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY HERE'S some choice historical gossip about Stanford and California, who today boast the roughest and toughest basket ball and football teams on the coast. Back in 1906 both schools dropped Ameri can football in favor of the Eng lish rugby foot ball. The game was too rough, officials decided. George The two schools Christensen played rugby for 10 years, when California decided to change back to the American sport. Stanford, however, still held out for rugby. So California decided to play Stanford at rugby and the rest of the teams at football. In the mean time the Pacific coast conference was formed and all the other teams played the American game. Stanford had only one game a year, that with California. Sc they hired Pop Warner and went American. * * * It's surprising the people you find who are vitally interested in athletics. Take Dr. Ralph Leigh ton for instance. With a title like his — “Executive secretary of re search at the University of Ore gon” — you'd expect his chief in terest to lie in the tracing down the life of some rare germ or de termining the effects of a quart of ale on the eye of a basketball player. No sir! Dr. Leighton is one of the most football-minded persons you’ll ever find. And he knows his football, too! When John McEwan was head coach at Oregon, Dr. Leighton act ed as his chief scout. Before that he was line coach under Anse Cornell (who has recently re signed) at the College of Idaho. Today he follows the activities of the Oregon team as closely as any of the old graduates and hangers on. Sammy Wllderumn signed him up for a half-hour broadcast last night over KORE. The theme was to be on the history of football. When Sammy found that Dr. Leighton either had or had access to about. 75 or 80 books on the subject, plus a vast personal store of anecdotes, he decided to split the interview into several broad casts. Somo of the highlights of each will be printed in the Emer ald at a later date. * * * While ltiil Reinhart works his varsity baseball candidates long and hard during every one of these summer days the southern confer-; ence nines have already started the regular league season. Prac- [ tice started there about two months ago and the opening games were played this week. At present California is leading, with St. Mary's, Stanford and U. S. C. following. * * * This smoker planned by the Order of the “O" for next Wed nesday at McArthur court appears to be one of the best stunts work ed up in several years in the en tertainment line. What is there that Oregon students would rather see than a boxing match between Webfoot and Oregon State ath letes ? The classic should be the one between Bernie Hughes and Frank Little, former Beaver full back. Both men have had plenty of experience. Little was winner of the intramural heavyweight championship at the Corvallis school this year. Bill Bowerman will have to call i his own signals when lie tangles with "Speed" Shephard from Ore gon State. Shephard, I under-: Ed Vail Stars In DonutBall; Green Shines Loses Decision to Delts, on Errors, 8 to 5 Friendly and Omega Halls Win; Fin l'sis Down Sigma Hall; SAE’s Lose Today’s Soft Ball Schedule 4 :00 - Sigma hall vs. Phi Gam ma Delta. 5:00 Theta Chi vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon. By BOB AVISON. Eddie Vail, diminutive chucker for the Sigma Chi soft ball nine, pitched and batted his way to a 5 to 2 victory over the Sigma Al pha Epsilon team yesterday af ternoon. Vail drove out two long home runs with Goulet on base each time. Vail pitched a beauti ful game holding the heavy hit ting S.A..E. nine to four scattered blows, while he was collecting a like number himself. Delta Tau Delta took an early lead and handed the Pi Kappa Al pha aggregation an 8 to 5 drub bing. Green hurled a fine game for the losers and it was due to some sloppy fielding on the part of his team-mates that meant his downfall. Bruce and Lees formed the battery for the Delts. Friendly hall pounded out a 17 to 16 victory over Sigma Nu. This game was featured by heavy hit ting on the part of both teams, and consequently the game devel oped into a track meet in the lat ter innings. Phillips and Conaway formed the battery for Sigma Nu while Bullock and Goff worked for the hall nine. Omega hall nosed out Chi Psi 10 to 8 by scoring four runs in the first half of the seventh canto. Chi Psi came back In their half of the seventh with two runs but the rally was nipped at this point. Ed VVheelock toiled for the win ners with Mason behind the plate. Phi Psi hammered out an 8 to 7 depislon over Sigma hall. Heavy hitting on both sides was the fea ture of this game. Phi Sigma Kappa forfeited to Phi Gamma Delta in the other ►jgulation contest. The Theta Chi S.P.E. tilt was postponed until to day. Phi Delta Theta and Sherry Ross hall failed to appear at the Scheduled time and to avoid any further complications both mana gers should get in touch with Mr. Boushey at the intramural office immediately.

Packard of Oregon State college, ■seven professors of science and mathematics at this University went to Corvallis Tuesday after noon, to make final plans for the courses to be offered on this cam pus next year in science and math ematics. Tentative plans were drawn up, which will be acted upon finally within a few days by a general committee, of which H. P. Barss, professor of botany at Oregon State, is chairman. Those who attended the meet ing from ttiis University were Dr. O. F. Stafford, Dr. II. B. Yocom, Dr. E. E. DeCou, Dr. H. U. Hues tis, Dr. W. V. Norris, Dr. W. D. Smith, and Dr. Frank P. Sipe. \ ictor 1*. Morris Talks Al Active Club Meeting So many and varied are the complexes of our present economic plight that there is no one pana cea which will effect a cure, Dr. Victor P. Morris, professor of eco nomics, told the Eugene Active club at its meeting yesterday. In discussing international trade and tariff, Dr. Morris stated that there ought to be a round table called for leaders of the na tions to work out a harmonious program of international trade, courage and good will being the two factors necessary for all na tions in meeting the present crisis. The school in London where Charlie Chaplin and his brother, Syd Chaplin, were taught for two years is to be closed at the end of June after an existence of 7(5 years. Can’t Pick Dash Men by Build Recalls Wykoff NEW YORK, April 6 — (AP) — “Sprinters,” said Frank Wykoff, sitting around careless like, wait ing fqj' the next subject to come up, “are the last of all athletes to look like the conception the public has of them.” Which started a very fine argu ment that got nowhere rapidly and in the end proved only that the California catapault khew just what he was talking about. Most baseball players, for in stance, look like athletes, though they be large or small. If they’re hitters at all they have strong arms and wrists, and you expect that. Their legs are well muscled, there is a cockiness in them that is unmistakable. Football players usually are bulky. You can spot the trim, lean ones as backs, or if they’re taller, ends. Guards are not run ning to heft as they used to, but it still takes plenty of structure, as well as speed, to stand up under the fast modern game. The weight men on a track team never would be taken for sprinters, the only exception I can remem ber being A1 Miller, 210 Harvard fullback a few years ago, who got up and went with the crack dash men of his day indoors and out. COOPER URGES ABANDON MENT OF MONMOUTH (Continued from Page One) up at the same time. They will lag behind several years and there will be no rush to put them back Johnny Londahl Concentrates on Field in Practice Outfield Shows Little Promise Yet; May Hit Stride Before Start of Season Coach Londahl put his outfield candidates through a hard work out yesterday afternoon in an ef fort to bolster up the team’s weak est part The first part was taken up with batting practice, in which bunting and place hitting were stressed. In the latter part of the practice Londaljl knocked fungoes to the boys, making them work up a sweat in the cold wind before going to the showers. None of the outfielders seem to have hit their stride yet, and Lor. dahl is working hard to get them into shape. Defensively, they looked very good yesterday after noon, catching flies from all angles and picking up grounders with a sure eye. As a whole, they are weak in throwing and batting. If they start hitting before the' .season opens, Londahl will have a strong club. The infield also took a good workout, but the pitchers kept their arms pretty well under cover, mainly because of the cold weather. where they were before the depres sion drove them down. "I believe the reductions now in effect should not continue more than four or five years. Yet, these reductions probably will be in ef fect longer, because teachers’ sal aries are always in the last group to start on the incline.” CHAMPIONS USE THEM They MUST he good WRIGHT and DITSON SPALDING and BROTHERS TENNIS RACKETS SELECT THE FRAME YOU WANT—HAVE IT STRUNG TO YOUR GAME BY OUR EXPERT STRINGER TWENTY-FOUR HOUR SERVICE ON RE STRING AND REPAIR WORK ARMOUR GUT USED Workmanship Guaranteed y - - » m UNIVERSITY CO-OP ^ "THE STUDENTS^OWN^ST^A^— Ducks, O.S.C.

Mahr Reymers, who is sched uled to put on the gloves with Norman Franklin, Oregon State husky, in the Order of the “O” smoker next Wednesday, last night flatly refused to enter the ring with the big, freckle-faced Beaver to whom he would have to concede a 30-pound weight advan tage. Duke Shaneinan, chairman of the smoker began immediately to look for another opponent more nearly the same size as the scrap py senior barher. ‘ No contact could be made with Shaneman last night to ascertain what action had been taken re garding Mahr Reymers’ refusal to box Franklin. # * * Oregon and Oregon State foot ball huskies will get a chance to loose their pent-up feelings of riv alry within a roped-off ring next Wednesday light at Mc Arthur court when boxing and wrestling stars from the two schools will be pitted against each other in a moker sponsored by the Order of the “O.” Four boxing __ „ events and two Mahr Iteymers wregtling match. es, three of which will pit Web foot against Beaver have been scheduled.
