Incomplete schedules, due to lack of finances, have made it unappealing for yearling athletes 10 try for positions on the various teams. Arrangements should be made whereas a Northwest frosh conference should be organized composed of Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Idaho, and possibly Gonzaga and Whitman. The experience the frosh would receive from such a schedule would be well worth the few rubles it would cost. Stanford, California, U. S. C., U. C. L. A., and Washington afford their freshmen with a full schedule of games. These other conference schools realize the valuo of a good frosh schedule and do their best to encourage it. Sieve narris, sports eunur on the Minnesota Daily, in his col umn, “Sideline Slants,” gives his opinion as to Minnesota’s policy regarding frosh athletics. “We are heartily in favor of the present system of encouraging freshman athletics. Soon the men who have participated in sports this year will be going back to their homes. If they feel enthused over the program and see the re sults of the training that is being given, they will be more apt to encourage other athletes to come to Minnesota.” Practically every freshman ath lete that comes to Oregon now Is really wasting a year of athletics. Let’s get off the boat and pro vide our frosh with a real sche dule. Oregon can do it! Dally BUIX-etin! The Oregon state senate in creases higher education bud get. Oregon defeats Trojans 50-0, as 90,000 look on. An Oregon State student ad mitting It is an agricultural college. Grid Outlook Bright "Prink” Callison should have a winning grid team next fall by looks of things at the present time. With Mikulak, Temple,! Kostka, and either Gee or Parks, Mr. Callison should be all smiles as far as the backfield goes. The one big job will be to fill up the hole at left tackle left vacant by the graduation of Capt. Bill Mor gan, all-coast tackle. The rest of the line composed of Morse and Wishard, ends; Nielson, tackle; Clark and Frye, guards; and Co captain Hughes at the pivot post, gives Callison a line that should be second to none on the coast. "Prink” is experimenting in spring practice with a new line shift that should work out well next fall. The conference will be tougher than ever next fall, with nary a weak team in the league, and the Webfoots will have to fight hard to stay on the top of the win and lost column. • * * Idea No. 7543987'/j One of the greatest problems be ing faced by the student in school now is to secure employment so he can continue on with his edu cation, especially the athlete, who usually comes from the family that does not have an over surplus of greenbacks. From the alumm office 1 re ceived the information that on the Pacific Coast, that is Califor nia, Oregon, and Washington, there are approximately 11,000 "alums" of the University of Ore gon. Why not contact these “alums” and try to get $1.00 a year from each one? Of course, the law of averages tells us that each one will not give, but I venture to say that at least one-third would re spond, which would net the coffers approximately $3,500. The first question that will be brought up is how do we contact all these "alums." Way No. 1— through the alumni magazine. “Old Oregon," and No. 2—through the alumni clubs. Now Question No. 2 What do we do with this money when it arrives? My suggestion is to put It to work developing Reinhart field. This would supply many students with employment, beside fixing up Reinhart field. How about it ? ? ? • * * Saw Dust Orv Mohler is leading the Paci fic Coast league in hitting . . . . the former Trojan star is batting Fair Co-ed Views Baseball Game; Prizes Awarded By ANN-REED BURNS It was kind of like the christ ening of ship—except that they didn’t have any wine, or any ship. But they had a new ball, and a well known person to toss it into the diamond-thus christening the new baseball season. Elisha Large, mayor of Eugene, began the 1933 varsity competi tion when he tossed the ball to the pitcher’s box, at just exactly 3:12 1-2 yesterday. It was quite a good-humored game, even though Oregon didn’t go so well. Things happened to make the spectators feel good— things like the ball being knocked three times almost in succession into the bleachers, and terrifying everyone who had visions of his head being used for a backstop. Things like the little black dog who was the hot dog's salesmen’s best customer—who kept follow ing the smell of the meat with his tongue hanging out anxiously. No Tigging Rule? And what’s been happening to the “no-pigging" rule? About a dozen couples were scattered around in an attempt not to be noticed too much and they were lucky, for the mob of Christian Endeavorers who filed in during the second inning kind of hid them. We don’t know but what the law against pigging is a good idea, too, after hearing one male try to si multaneously watch the game and explain things to his fair co-ed, who was remarking vivaciously about the knock-kneed appearance of the pitcher. Contrary to all traditions, how ever, the co-ed isn’t always the dumb one about sports. Overheard from a man sitting nearby: "The idea is to try to hit the guy stand ing back of the batter, while the guy with the bat tries to knock the ball before it hits him." Gos pel truth, we swear It. Warren Wins Two The game was about as good as a raffles for the players what with the seven awards donated by Eugene firms to some of the hit ting stars: Harvey’s: one necktie for the first base hit, won by War ren of Columbia; DeNeffe's: one hat for first home run, won by Warren of Columbia. Best Clean ers: suit cleaned and pressed for first sacrifice hit. won by Garbar ino of Oregon. Oregon Pharmacy: surprise award for first error, won by Albin of Columbia . Colonial theatre: month’s pass for Oregon player scoring first run, won by Clausen. College Side: two Sunday dinners to first Oregon player bat ting in a run, won by Hoag. The Rex theatre donated a month's pass for the first Oregon stolen base but luck wasn’t with that line, and nobody stole a base. .480 .... Not so bad for a rookie .... We think .... that Wash ington State will upset El Trojan next fall .... that Oregon will have a winning hoop squad next fall .... that Mikulak, Temple, and Hughes will get all-American mention next full .... that "Blaz ing Ben" Eastman will crack the 440 and 880 records again this year .... that a young frosh by the name of Alustiza will be the star of the Stanford baekfield this year .... that Bob Hunter and Warren Demaris will crack the conference track records .... that “Tiny” Bishop could not get into a pair of Size 32 drawers. OPENING BATTLE LOST BY VARSITY —a. Warren Leads Cliffdweller Attack With Pair of Home Runs (Continued from Page One) died there, when the next man flied out. Both teams v/ent on a scoring spree in the fifth, Oregon ringing up three tallies to the visitors’ two. Columbia scored two runs in the fifth when Nehl hit his sec ond home run for the day, bring ing in a man ahead of him. A long homer by Chester over the left field fence with two on con tributed the final scoring for the home team. Columbia Gets Gift Neither team could score from then on till the last inning, when Charles weakened, allowing two hits, which combined with two er rors, presented the Portlanders with three more runs, although they did not need them. Nehl, of Columbia, was the big hitting star of the game, getting four hits out of six times to bat, two of them homers. He was closely followed by Hoy with three out of six, one a homer. Warren got the other homer for the visi tqrs. Chester and Hoag led the Grfeen and Yellow varsity in hit ting, both batting .500, and bat ting in all of Oregon’s runs. Hatch Pitches Well C o 1 u m b i a’s big left-hander, Hatch, was the pitching star of the game, allowing only five hits and striking out seven men. Ex cept for two bad innings, he held the varsity helpless, breezing them in easily where the home team couldn’t see them. Ed Charles played the hero for Oregon, step ping into the breach in the third inning and stopping the heavy hit ters from the north. Garbarino played a brilliant game at third, stopping plenty of hard ones and zipping them across to first. In one inning he handled three chances, all of them hard. Sears played a strong game at short, stopping several that had Hit labeled all over them. Play Today This afternoon at 3:30 the two teams will meet again at Reinhart field in the second game of the series. Ron Gimmel, the sensa tional find of the year, will prob ably start on the mound for the varsity. TOO BAD, IKE! Columbia B. R. H. O. A. E.

Who's Who in Webfoot Sports By JACK MILLER William J. Reinhart, Oregon basketball and baseball coach was born in Osborn, Missouri, on Aug UHL io» i. nia 35 years of life have been devot ed almost entire ly to athletics. When Billy was just 12 years old his family | came out to Ore j gon and settled I in Salem, where young Reinhart Bill Reinlinrt finished elemen tary school and high school. In his prep days at the capitol city school he starred in football, basketball, and baseball. W. J. played quarterback on the Salem gridiron aggregation, guard on the maplewood team, and played any one of the nine posi tions on the baseball team. He i was the outstanding prep athlete | in the Webfoot state at the time, j Upon receiving his high school diploma in 1915, the promising young athlete packed up his grips and decided to carry on his educa tion at Missouri Wesleyan in Cameron, Mo. In his frosh year at the Cameron school Billy starred in his usual three sports once again. In football he earned all-conference honors his first year as a quarterback. ‘•Spec” ; Keene, who is now coach at Wil lamette university, was a teamj mate of Reinhart's. After one year at the Metho dist institution Bill decided to come back to Oregon, and attend the University. Due to no con ference rules at the time the pres ent Duck coach competed in frosh football, basketball, and baseball. In the summer of 1917 Reinhart enlisted in I62d infantry in order to “help make the world safe for democracy." The young warrior spent 16 months over seas, return ing to the states in March 1919. While soldiering in France and Germany the “Commodore" (.l^v special permission of Richard L. Neuberger, who gave Reinhart this title, due to the numerous! rains he must conduct baseball practice through) saw a great deal of action. During the fall of 1919 “Commo dore Bill" got his first taste of coaching at his alma mater in Sa lem. Bill led the Senators through a successful season. The call of college again beck oned the young coach and he re turned to the University of Ore gon in the fall of 1920, and again starred in his usual three sports for two more years. His smart field generalship on the gridiron was outstanding. After completing a course in business administration here ir the University ambitious William worked in the statistical depart ment of the Standard Oil company. The urge of athletics called Billy back to the local institution in the fall of 1923, when he took over the positions of frosh football coach, and varsity basketball and base ball coach. This was quite an as signment for a young fellow but the “Commodore" handled it well. In his first year of basketball coaching Bill’s Webfoot five placed second in the northern conference, in ’25 and ’26 the ducks won the northern division championships losing only to California in the playoffs for the coast intercolle giate basketball crown. In ’27 the Ducks again placed second, and since then have been up and down. The baseball teams under Rein hart's tutelage have always fared well. Two conference champion ships have been won under his coaching. In 1925 Billy coached the Ore gon backfield under Dick Smith. Under "Cap” McEwan he directed the playing of the frosh gridders, and was backfield coach under "Doc" Spears. Bill has worked up quite a reputation as a football scout, and is considered one of the best in the business by "Doc" Spears. Last fall Bill did scouting for Fordham university of New York. Johnny Kitzmiller, present Ore gon backfield coach, is considered by Reinhart as the greatest foot ball warrior to ever wear the lem on and green, as is “Swede" Wes tergren, who was all-coast guard for three consecutive years, con sidered the greatest basketball player to ever attend Oregon. “Commodore Bill's” favorite! hobby is fishing and playing around with William J. Reinhart Jr., his 4-vear-old son, who shows promise in following the footsteps of his daddy. IIEBFOOTS MEET STATERS TODAY - i )regon Is Favored To Take Beavers in Annual Cinder Contest The Oregon relay teams will journey to Corvallis to tangle with Lhe Orange cindermen at 2:30 o’clock in the O. S. C. stadium today. Oregon is favored to come through with a victory again this year, but a close contest is pre dicted with the battling Staters. The hopes of victory for Oregon State rests on the shoulders of Norm Franklin, Skeet O’Connell, Mush Dunkin, Ned Gleason, and the Patrick brothers, all of whom have shown up well for the Orange squad in pre-season time trials. Paul Starr, captain of this year's Webfoot squad and qualifier for the Northwest Olympics last year, will run anchor man in both the 440 and 880 yard relays. Art Hol man, holder of th6 conference record in the 440 yard event, will be one of the Oregon stars entered in today’s relay meet. Other men who will make the trip to Corvallis are: Ralph Schomp, Wayne Jamison, Bob Parke, sprinters; Johnny Marrs, Chuck Dollof, Sherwood Burr, Bull Wright, Tallant Greenough, and Bill Bowerman, quarter-mil ers; Gerald Gray, Bob Nunn, Bob Hunter, Bob Wagner, Wilson Seig mund, Clayton Wentz, Don Thomp son, and Don Hall, distance men; and Mason McCoy, Fred Nowland, Bill Palmer, and Art Dudley, hurd lers. i.----1 Women’s Sports --By ROBERTA MOODY=l All houses interested in entering the interhouse golf tournament should notify Ruth Irvin at the Alpha Delta Pi sorority by noon today. No definite number of en trants is required, but as many as possible are urged to hand in their names. Either the house repre sentatives or the girls desiring tc enter may call the manager. The tournament will start early next week. * * * In a fast hangup game, the Kappa Delta’s took the Hendricks hall in tennis doubles 6-1, 6-1, and singles 6-0, 6-0. The consistent Alpha Phi team seized a G-2, 6-3 victory over the Sigma Kappas in the doubles. In the first singles they won 6-3, 6-1, and in the sec ond singles won 6-2, 6-2. BIG SHOTS STUMPED BY KIDDISH QUESTION Washke Comes To Aid of Grid Manager When “Experts” Fail To Agree Does anyone know the size of a regulation football field ? It sounds like a simple question, but it stumped the master minds oi the physical education department (including Paul Washke), Billy Reinhart, baseball and basketball coach, and the entire Emerald staff (including Editor-elect Ster ling Green). “Tank” McCallum also proved to be a “nadir" upon the subject, as did Ike Donin, Stan Kostka, and Kermit Stevens The situation arose when Jimmy Ferguson, senior football manager started to lay out a football fieh on the new turf just east of the TAKE EASY WIN OVER PREP SCHOOLRUNNERS ' DELftUNflY TRIPLES TO j WIN GAME FOR FROSH __ Extra Base Blow With Two,, On Clinches Game From Eugene, 7-5 A smashing triple in the 10th inning by Mark DeLaunay broke a 5-to-5 deadlock and gave the frosh a 7-to-5 victory over Eugene high yesterday afternoon. The frosh took an early lead, scoring four runs in the first three innings, only to see the score tied at 4-all in the sixth. Eugene scored three runs in the fourth and one in the sixth to tie the score, and then stepped into a one-run lead in the seventh. A long single in the eighth by De Launay scored Drew Copp from second, forcing the game into an extra inning. Frosh Pitching Tight The frosh played brilliant ball behind the sterling pitching of Thuneman and Bucknam. Besides DeLaunay, Bunny Butler and Tom Hanley came through with triples. Score: R. H. E. Frosh . 7 10 3 Eugene . 5 9 2 Batteries: Thuneman, Bucknam and Butler; Cady, Drew and Bishop. VOLUME REPRINTED Another volume on pioneer Ore gon days to be reprinted in the same series is “Adventures on the Columbia” by Ross Cox. Charles H. Carey, president of the Oregon j Historical society, and recently i appointed corporation commission I er by Governor Meier, is to write j the introduction and historical j notes for this book. I Igloo. Callison was not present at the tii^e. Mr. Washke helped the situa tion, a half hour after he was asked the question, by giving the dimensions of a rugby field. Guesses on the width of the field ranged from 100 feet to 100 yards. Howie Patterson Scores 15 Points With Three First Places SMITH TAKES SHOTPUT Carpenter Heaves the Discus Over 121 Feet; Second In Javelin Throw The Oregon frosh did the unex pected when they scored 69 points to defeat Eugene, Corvallis Springfield and University high schools in a track meet on Hay ward field yesterday afternoon. The meet originally scheduled for Saturday morning was changed to yesterday afternoon due to con flicts in the high school schedules. Howard Patterson, frosh sprint ace, was the individual star of the ^ meet, scoring 15 points. The ! Duckling ace took first in the cen tury, covering the distance in 11 flat, first in the 220 covering it in 23.9, and managed to broad jump 19 feet 11 1-2 inches to garner another first. Two frosh weight stars were discovered during the meet in Stanford Smith and Dewey Car penter. Smith, a husky lad, heaved out the 12 pound shot 50 feet 1 1-2 inches to run off easily with first place honors. The husky young ster from Klamath Falls looks like a comer in the iron ball event. Car penter, former Lincoln high school star, sailed the Greek platter out 121 feet 6 1-2 inches to grab an easy first in the discus event. He also grabbed second place honors in the javelin, with 140-foot toss. Eob Thomas, frosh quarter mil er, looked good in taking the 440 in 55 flat, as did Sharf and Ryan, Duckling middle distance men in tying for first in the half mile event. Bill Paddock and Bob Lud- F ington took it easy and walked in hand in hand to tie for first honors in the mile. “Spec” Byrd, of Corvallis high school, was the outstanding prep competitor. The young athlete from the state college town heaved the javelin out 164 feet 7 inches to win the blue ribbon competition. Team points were as follows: Frosh 69, Eugene, 27, Corvallis 19, University 14, and Springfield 11. — “Eugene’s Own Store’’ McMorran & Washburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY -PHONE 2700 Expert Tennis Racquet Re-Stringing Silk . $1.95 to $2.95 Lamb Gnt . $3.65 | Top Notch . $4.50 Super Service . $6.50 ' 24 HOUR SERVICE ’ Just Inside the i Broadway Entrance Eugene s Own Store McMorran & Washburne _. ____l____ PHONE 2700 Stocking Sale pm ^ For Regular (| / c One Dollar ‘ M J Holeproof m ^ Silk Hose — and a regular-sized package of LUX FREE And, remember, a package of Lux free.
