This one was picked on a strictly mathematical basis in a survey conducted by the 20 leading college papers of the Unit ed States. The Oregon Daily Em erald working in, conjunction with the papers of Alabama, Southern California, Dartmouth, Colorado, San Diego State, Carnegie Tech, Chicago, Illinois, Duke, Colgate, Kansas, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Yale, Princeton, Vermont, Michigan and Florida sent in its choice of the nation’s best.

And along with big Mike will be Mark Tem ple, shifty halfback and Barnie Hughes, ace pivot man, co-cap tains of the 1933 Webfoot varsity; Johnny Kitzmiller, the "Flying Dutchman,” who wrote his name in flaming letters across the foot ball sky of the Pacific slope a few years back; Bree Cuppoletti and "Dutch” Clark, Callison's combin ation at the guard posts last fall; and Chuck Wishard, rangy end of the football team. Don’t think for a moment that even though the gentlemen |nen tioned above are known for their football prowess they don't know what the hoop game is all about. Every one of them has played ft lot of basketball in years past. The outfit will go under the name of Mikulak's All-Stars and they open the season’s activity this week-end playing in Coquille Friday night and in Marshfield on Saturday. A lot of people are going to see Mike’s ball club because it in cludes big names in football and they’re due for a surprise when they witness the sound basketball that will be put forth for their en tertainment. Hayward Urges Cinder Turnouts All men who hope to make either the freshman or varsity track teams next spring should turn out immediately if they ex pect to be in condition by spring term, according to Col. Bill Hay ward, track coach. "There ar« 40 men out now but that isn't enough. We need more distance men," said Hayward yes terday. Experience is not necessary. A student may think he has no abil ity at all as a runner but he may develop into a good jumper or weight man. Hayward is planning to start some intramural and interclass races and meets soon and will re veal his plans in the near future. In the meantime he urges everyone who has any interest in track to try out this term. Regular gym credits will be giv en to those who report regularly for practice. Webfoots Get Beaver Tilt Oregon Tied for Second S’laee in Race Washington Loads Conference With Two Victories Over Vandals i-i Prepared I Conference Standings By BILL EBERHART W. L. Pet. Washington . 2 0 1.000 Oregon . 1 1 .500 Washington State .2 2 .500 Oregon State .1 1 .500 Idaho .0 2 .000 The first hoop game of the Ore gon State series is only three days away, and Coach Bill Reinhart of the Webtoots be gan his campaign yesterday to mold his boys into shape for Satur day night’s tilt. His principal job is to vary the Oregon offensive system in such a way that it will function against the Beavers’ zone defense. Reinhart Reinhart’s par ticular system against Oregon SLate is new to Budd and' Willard Jones, who are playing their first season under the Webfoot colors, but they are catching on rapidly and will undoubtedly help the Ore gon machine to work smoothly against the Corvallis champions. Oregon Breaks Even The Oregon team emerged from the Washington State series with a victory and a defeat, and is now considered by all sides to be a dangerous threat to any aspirant for the title, and by many to be a serious contender for the cham pionship itself. The mere winning of the first conference game marks the Webfoots as a team to be watched. Last year, it will be recalled, Oregon was the underdog of the division, kicked from pillar to post by every team in the Northwest, and winning only two out of the 16 league games. Even Southern Oregon normal won two out of three from the Webfoots. So Ore gon is on the comeback trail and means business in a serious way. With new deals in nearly every ing else, Reinhart has declared one for his basketball team. The Oregon State Beavers ap peared before their series with Washington State to be the team to beat for the championship. They lost only their all-star center, big Ed Lewis, leaving O’Connell, Hib bard, McDonald, and Lcnchitslcy to carry on this year, more veterans than any other team possesses. But they split with the Cougars, the Cougars split with Oregon, and quite a mess is thereby created as far as any predictions are con cerned. Until either Washington or Ida ho plays one of the other teams, nothing can be told about theit strength, except that they are more nearly matched than last year, when the Huskies turned back the invading Vandals by over whelming scores. The most obvi ous deduction is that Washington is weaker than last year, for Idaho lost four men from the first team and the Huskies lost only two. The scores last weekend were 35 to 2!) and 31 to 25, not very de cisive. Anything may happen when the two teams play in Mos cow. The game between Oregon and Oregon State will be played in Mc Arthur court this Saturday night at 8 o’clock.

Idaho Prepares To Renew Series With Washington Vandals Confident of Victory Over League-Leading Huskies On Home Floor UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Jan. 10. (Special)—The Uni versity of Idaho Vandals will seek revenge for a pair of six-point de feats at the hands of the Washing ton Huskies when the league-lead era invade Moscow this weekend for a two-game basketball series on Idaho's home floor. Washington defeated Idaho at Seattle 30-29 and 31-25. Inland Empire fans are confi dent that on the home court and in familiar surroundings, Coach Rich Fox’s Vandals will be at least six points stronger than they were last week in the mammoth Washington basketball pavilion. Free throws apparently were the deciding factor in the Huskies’ vic tories on the coast. Each team scored 24 field goals in the two game series, but Washington sank 18 free throws to the Vandals 6. The Huskies counted 13 baskets to 12 for Idaho the first night and made 9 fold conversions to Idaho’s 5. Idaho led Washington 12 to 11 | in field goals the second game, but the Vandals were sadly outpointed in the matter of free throws, 9 to 1. Idaho players missed 8 free shots in the first game and 6 in the second game. A record crowd is expected to witness the first conference bas ketball game in the Inland Empire this season when Washington and Idaho renew their feud in Idaho’s Memorial gymnasium Friday anil Saturday nights. Uiulstrom Reported Better J. O. Lindstrom, business man ager of the University, who has been confined to his home during the past week because of illness, is reported to be progressing fa vorably and is expected to return to his work next week. ‘‘Patronize Emerald advertisers."

Collegiate Dance Dinner Dancing FRIDAY, JAN. 12-9-12 «-8 Every Evening Contests Prizes No Cover Charge GEORGE M. KING, Mgr. Oh! Oh! Here Comes Mike9 Watch Out For a Cruncher! What will the Oregon All-Stars’ formation be like? Will they use the box formation or the “z" ? Are they going to use a huddle ? This is the way their basketball games may appear to the specta tors. The boys will come out of a squirrel cage huddle, going into box formation with Wishard at the center post. Mikulak will take the pass from center and with Cuppoletti ahead of him, to take out the referee, will charge down the floor. Hughes, after taking out the timekeeper and two guards, will go through for the center, leaving ‘‘Mighty Mike” with but two men between him and the hoop. Here Mike remembers the play that the East pulled on the West when Beattie Feathers of Tennes see ran 60 yards in the recent Shrine game and tosses a quick lateral to Temple. Then he throws a block on the two remaining players, letting Mark Temple score. Count 2-0. Now it is time for the referee to take a hand, but he has just been carried out on a stretcher after being hit by Cuppoletti. The reserves for the other team left quietly soon after the game opened and the five players on the floor suddenly remember they had a date somewhere else at that time and set off like monkeys with their tails on fire, limping slightly. Score, Oregon All-Stars 2, opponents 0. The All-Stars, feeling they have not had enough exercise, start playing leap frog and then each takes his turn at taking the bas ketball uprights out of the play. Five More Wear Order of Yellow O Five men were voted into the Order of the O at a meeting held last night at dinner in the Sigma Chi house. Those elected were Con Fury, Budd Jones, Stew Milli gan, Frank Michek, and Maurice Van Vliet. A committee consisting of Bob Parke, Ted Giesecke, and Ladd Sherman was appointed to make arrangements for the second an nual boxing and wrestling exhibi tion. The Order of the O has reserved a section immediately behind the time keepers' table at the Oregon State game next Saturday for pres ent and former members of the Or der of the O. Matinen to Hold First Practice Next Monday All campus athletes interested in the formation of a varsity wrest ling team will start workouts in the men's gym next Monday at 4, it was decided last night at the meeting of the group. Ten men turned out for the first meeting but several others have signified their intention of doing so, according to Tom Mountain, who is one of the matmen behind the movement. Ray Clapp, Con Fury, and Hank Cross, wete among the well-known mat artists who were present. In the event that a team is or ganized prospects are bright for a meet with the University of Cali fornia.

All Quality Work and at Reasonable Prices “YOr CAN DEPEND ON ES-’ Kennell - Ellis Studios Campus Boxers Begin Fisticuffs In Gym Ring at 4 leigning Chr.mps Fail to Enter To Defend Titles; Finals Slated for Friday All men who are entering the boxing tournament are re quested to weigh in at the men’s gym today between the hours of 1 and 3. The all-campus boxing tourna ment will open this afternoon on the main floor of the men’s gym with men registered to start hos tilities in every class from light weights to heavyweights. No last year's champion of any class will be in the ring to defend his title, so speculation as to possible winners is wide open, with any “dark horse” considered at even odds against some men perhaps a little better knowm. Following the weighing in early in the afternoon, all the contest ants will gather at 4 and the schedule of opponents will be drawn up. Several of the men are in doubt as to whether they will make their weight limits, so this makes it necessary to wait until after the weighing in before the bouts are scheduled. Due to this fact, it is possible that only a few bouts will take place today, and as only a few elimination rounds will be necessary, the finals may be run off Friday. The events are being held on the main floor to enable the con testants free use of the ropes and also to accommodate the specta tors viewing the matches. Last year's bouts, held in the small box ing room, disclosed the need for more space for both the boxers and the crowds. Women’s Athletics By BETTY SHOEMAKER Basketball practice this after noon at 5 p. m. Inter-class and intramural contests will be offered later in the term. These first practices will get you in form for the games. If you weren’t out for swim ming practice last night you bet ter come out tonight.

It will be remembered two years ago that a group of Webfoot matmen upset the Huskies 5 matches out of 7. Frosh Quintet TrimsEugene High 47 to 18 — Lewis and Williamson; Scoring Leaders Coaches- Use Many Substitutes in Ragged Game; Second Period Fast With both coaches using substi tutes freely, Gene Shield’s yearling hoon suuad handed Eugene high a 47 to IS trim ming in a ragged game at the Igloo last night. Wil liamson and Lew is were on a scoring spree for the frosh and made 14, and 13 points, respect ivelv. Although the} Gene Shields yearlings had a j 10 to 8 lead at the half, the high school boys dominated play that period. The frosh were breaking slow and could not seem to get their passing attack clicking. Eu gene had possession of the ball the majority of the time but failed to make their setups good when they passed in under the basket. Team, Hits Stride Lewis opened the second period with two field goals and a foul conversion and from then on the frosh hit their stride and started rolling baskets in from all angles, with Williamson and Lewis lead ing the attack. With Murray con trolling the tip at center they kept possession of the ball easily. Opening with this spurt and then staging another scoring rally in the last few minutes of play the frosh rolled up 37 counters in the last half, to the losers 10. Liebow itz, at guard, acted as feeder and contributed some nice blocks and passes to aid Lewis and William son in their scoring spree. These spurts seemed to affect the yearling team play in general, and the entire second period they were breaking faster, and the team work and passing was much smoother than during the opening period. Thirteen Men Used Wright and Danner were the leading scorers for the losing five, with 3, and 2 field goals respective ly. Eleven other men were used on the high school team and Shields used a total of 13 men on the freshman team. Only three per sonals were called during the first half, but as the contest speeded up in the final period the referee was forced to call several more in or der to keep the game in hand. This was the second game of the year for Shields’ men and al though he said the boys looked rather ragged he seemed quite well pleased with the prospects of a good season.
