VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1934 Page 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS The Ambidextrous Mr. Clarkson at Minnesota; Alabama's ‘Hurry’ Cain T>EMEMBER Art Clarkson ? Well, for the Uenefit of those who do not recall names at will, L v_.iai wan a young man a very clever young man — who not so long ago played a bit of football for Ore go n . Clarkson started his col lege gridiron ca reer here during the Dr. Clarence W. Spears re merman gime in as a member of the freshman squad. The next fall Clarkson saw some action with the varsity, and then he packed his grips and departed from the Oregon country. The young man turned up at the University of Minnesota last fall about the time football practice began and before long he found himself a good job on the fresh man squad. “Why with the freshman?” you ask. According to Big Ten confer ence regulations any one who is ineligible to play varsity ball is entitled to a year of competition with the freshmen. As Clarkson was a transfer he had a year to go at Minnesota before he could participate with the varsity, hence his associationg with the younger fellows. In three short months Clarkson made quite a ripple on the placid surface of the Big Ten pool. Now he has even the blase sports writ ing gentlemen of the Middle West sitting in their corners trying to find new superlatives in the dic tionary. Just cast an eye over the excerpts from an article written under the by-line of Francis J. Powers. The story came from Chi cago via the Oakland (Cal.) Trib une. Mr. Powers remarks: * * “One of the yearlings is worth a story at this date, although it is a good ten months before he can wear the livery of the Gophers in competition, lie is Arthur Clark son, a halfback, who came to Min nesota via Canton, China, and Seattle. “If he makes good, Bcrnie Bier man (Minnesota’s head grid men tor) will give you all the triple threat men in the country. Clark son is a good quintuple threat lad and where have you heard of one like that? "Young Clarkson throws a foot ball with either hand and kicks equally well with either foot. Don’t scoff. Here's a young fellow who really is ambidextrous. Clarkson was a natural southpaw from birth, but his parents, fearing he might grow into a left-handed pitcher, changed his technique with a knife and a fork. As he grew, he became adept with this right hand, all the time retaining his natural skill with the left. * * * “His skill at booting a football with either foot is the result of early training in soccer, a game that demands some skill with both pedals. He attended a French school in China and while there became very proficient in soccer, a game that demands some skill with both pedals. Clarkson also is a fine runner, having a particularly darting stride that makes him difficult to tackle . . . and Minnesota coaches believe they have a real find in the kid who first saw light in far-off China. “The youngster saw his first American football game," contin ues Mr. Powers, “at the age of 13 ami upon returning home raised a howl for a ball of his own. He mastered Ihe knack of throwing and kicking the ball by himself and upon his entrance into high school quickly won a place upon the team . . . Around Minnesota they already are figuring him the 1931 back field along with Lund, A lfoa.se and these. And what a headache he will be to all opponents if he starts spotting passes down the field; first with the right hand and then with the left . . . So just remem ber the name of Arthur Clarkson until next October. That is unless you have more important things to Plate Lunch 25c Oregana Lunch Webfoot Five Prepares for Beaver Game Reinhart Concocts New Attack Plans Lenchitsky Demoted as Orange Mentor Makes Changes In O.S.C. Lineup By BILL EBERHART Coach Billy Reinhart will take his Webfoot hoopers to Corvallis tomorrow night to continue the basketball feud started last Satur day evening. Oregon won the first round of the four-game battle, 30 to 2(1, and local fans are hoping for another win in the second game. Oregon is second to the Univer sity of Washington in northern di vision rankings. The Huskies emerged head-first from their se ries with Washington State at Pullman Monday and Tuesday, giving the Seattle team a record of six victories without a setback. Denver »iock i.ocm up Oregon State profited in the per centage column by Washington’s success in Pullman. By the addi tion of two losses to the Cougars’ record, the Beavers automatically became tied with Coach Jack Friel’s outfit for third place. By winning tomorrow night's game, the Staters can assume a second place with the Webfoots, each team with two wins and a pair of losses. Although the system employed last week by the Webfoots to so completely rout the Orange team during the first half was an excel lent one from the standpoint of ef fectiveness, Reinhart will have to show something else at Corvallis. Reinhart Prepares New Potion Oregon State mastered the new attack during the final period in the game here, and it will take something new to catch them nap ping again. But the Webfoot coach, who serves as his own "braips trust” in such matters, is concocting a brand new attack that will, he thinks, cause quite a few long faces around the state college campus Saturday morning. An announcement came from Corvallis yesterday to the effect that Coach Gill is dissatisfied with his present lineup and that a shakeup in the personnel of the team is in line for this second Ore gon game. Lenchitsky’s work at one of the guard posts seems to be the sore spot with “Slats,” and the probability is that he will play Fred Hill, reserve center last year, at that position. Hill started last Friday’s game, but gave way to Lenchitsky.

Speaking- of ambidextrous foot ballers reminds us of that great all-America fullback, Cain from Alabama. The lad had two nick names, "Hurry” and "Sugar,” both of which fit perfectly. He passed with either his right or left hand, and it made no dif ference to him whether he punted Irom the port or starboard side In fact Cain used to drive the Southern conference safety boys crazy they went that way trying to figure out where to play when he kicked. Cain had the art down pat and would take advantage of every slight breeze, kicking with the foot which would give him the most distance or the bigger chance of crossing the already befuddled ! would-be receiver. * * * * | If Clarkson develops into half as good a man as Cain he will go a long way to bring Bierman and Minnesota a Big Ten title next year. Lads who put them there with all their hands and feet are a scarce commodity, but if they are good they are sure to raise the market price of aspirin. ! Kappa Sig and S.P.E. Win Tilts In Donut Tourney Betas' ‘15’ Team Loses One While A.T.O.’s Take Two Stra'ght From Kappa Sigma Today’s “15” volleyball sched ule: 4:00 Phi Delta Theta vs. Chi Psi. Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Sigma Hall. 4 :40 Delta Tau Delta vs. Omega Hall. Sherry Ross vs. Sigma Nu. 5:20 Yeomen vs. Phi Gamma Delta. Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Delta TJpsilon. With all their men passing good and setting the ball up for “’Sphinx” Wishard to kill, Sigma Phi Epsilon last night won their “A” league donut volleyball game from a tall Sigma Chi six. The S.P.E.'s won the first game of the match easily, but in the second one trailed until the finish when Foley started serving and with some kills by Wishard passed up their oppon ents to take the game 15-13. In the other “A” league contest Kappa Sigma won from Delta Up silon although they dropped the second game. Johnson and Hakan son were making most, of the kills for the victors while Schenk was the only D. U. to furnish much op position. The Sigma Phi Epsilon “B” six were led by their donut basketball stars Arne Lindgren and Guthrie in a game which marked one of the few defeats for a Beta game Lhis season. Only in the last game did the Betas furnish much trouble with Bell their mainstay. Most of the S.P.E. kills were made by Lind gren. With Bob Avison playing a good floor game and also making a good share of the kills, Alpha Tau Ome ga had little trouble in winning from Kappa Sigma, 15-3, 15-9. The other two scheduled “B” games were awarded to the Sigma Chi nnd Phi Psi sixes when Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Mu failed to show up. Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. -Have You Noticed? The nice new silk panties our basketball heroes are wearing this year ? That makes football and basketball teams at Oregon that are sponsoring the lowly ?ilk worm this season. We wonder if the base ball team will sprout out with them next spring! The new fill-ins under the reg ular bench seats at the Igloo? These save the workmen the trou ble of brushing underneuth the seat-boards. * * * That our mighty fullback, Mike Mikulak, may go south to join a group of famous all stars down in L. A. to play the Chicago Bears, eastern professional gridsters ? * * * The screwy schedule Washing ton and Idaho played recently, fin ishing their four game series with each other before tackling any oth er conference team? Poor Idaho was made the goat on that deal. That Oregon has won as many games already this season as it did in last year’s entire schedule? Go to it, boys! * * » That the Oregon All-Stars have been v» inning games right and left, j real honest-to-goodness basketball games, too? That the University of j Washington Huskies have started spring crew practice? * # * That barring complications Max ltacr and I’rinio Camera will agree on a date witli Jack Dempsey, pro moter, for a championship fight in : Madison Square Garden? Demp- I 1 sey has evidently patched up his : difficulties with the garden. * * * Anything, unusual?

Fans who witnessed the games are still talking of the great ex hibition of basketball put on by “Iron Mike’’ Mikulak and his teammates. Duck Grid Stars Play The All-Star quintet is made up of members of last fall's cham pionship football team. Captain ing the team is Mike Mikulak, Oregon's All-American fullback. While playing high school basket ball in Minneapolis, Mikulak was chosen for all-state honors. Others on the colorful team are Bree Cuppoletti, all-coast guard, who plays a steady game of bas ketball; Mark Temple, all-coast halfback, who was an all-state basketball player for Pendleton high school; Bernie Hughes, all coast center, who starred on the maplewood for Medford high and Southern Oregon normal before coming to Oregon, and Chuck Wishard, star end for three years, who was rated as one of the great est prep cassaba tossers in South Dakota when he wore the colors of Watertown. noasi ;>irong i.mi'lip The DeNeffe basketeers are headed by such luminaries as Jean Bberhart and Windsor Calkins, former Webfoot hoop aces whose names are still fresh in Oregon basketball history.

A preliminary game starts at 7 j o’clock. [dAGMAR HAUGEN, BUSH TOP ALL IN COURTESY (Continued from Page One) asked to what he attributed his success, answered worriedly that he didn’t know what to say. “I'll leave it up to you," he finally an nounced, relieved, as if he had a load off his chest. “You just put in the Emerald whatever you want to. Which no doubt is very po lite, but is very hard on the Em erald reporter, who is not very talented in saying things in Bush’s courteous manner . . . And now for those unfortunate individuals who did not receive recognition in the contest. In or der that they may improve their ways, “The Curtsy,” book of eti quette published by Phi Theta Up silon and sold last week in con junction with this contest, will be on sale in the Co-op today for 15 cents a copy. Louise Barclay, who is general chairman of the sale and the con test, urges that all impolite stu dents, as shown by the selection of winners, buy "The Curtsy,” not < only to become more polite them- 1 selves, but to improve the general I ! morale of the campus ias relates ' to courtesy, of course). i Dill Pickle Club Meets Wedding customs in European and Asiatic countries was the subject of the Dill Pickle club pro gram Wednesday.

This number includes frosh and varsity swimmers. Although the University main tained no acquatic team last year, the previous years saw Webfoot ! swimmers wade through heavy | schedule, playing California teams besides those of the Northwest. This year's team, with the impe ! tus of the “new deal’’ in Oregon athletics, showed a lot of pep dur ing the practice session, and gave the impression of being a very ca pable group of swimmers. Hoyman has several veterans back from the 1932 varsity, besides those who participated in the Ore gon-Canada meet. The new coach feels, however, that there should be more reporting, and asks that all men on the campus interested in swimming or diving to come out. He also stated that every fresh man reporting will be retained on the squad throughout the year, so that next year’s team will be well supplied with trained men. Thespian Society To Give Tea Soon Dessert was served to Thespians, freshman women’s honorary, by Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, and Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean, at a meeting held in the women’s lounge of Gerlinger hall Tuesday night. Afterwards plans were made for a tea for freshman women, to be given some time this term. Chair men of committees for this tea i were Nan Smith, refreshments; l Jessie Long, entertainment; and Martha McCall, reception. 1 Eleanor Frenech was appointed i chairman of a popcorn sale which may be held by Thespians during 1 the term. More definite plans will 1 be announced later. 1 Frosh Crush Wendling At Igloo, 46-23 Lewis Gets Up 11 Points To Lead Scorers Ducklings Show Powerful Form In Fourth Consecutive Win; Play Commerce Next Displaying the same powerful form that had carried them un beaten through three previous games, the frosh hoopers last night at McArthur court ran up a 47-23 score against the hapless Redbirds of Wendling. From the first minute there was no doubt as to the outcome. The Ducklings took a commanding lead at the quarter, and kept it till the half, which ended at 23-11. Shields Uses Substitutes Although Gene Shields started the first string lineup in the sec ond half, substitutes kept pour ing in, three at a time. At the end of the game the third string was playing, and holding its own against the Wendling Townies. Lewis, yearling forward, led the point-making spree with 11 count ers, followed closely by his team mate, Sam Liebowitz, who made 10. Helmkin, reserve, scored eight. For the visitors, Page, guard, played a strong offensive game, scoring nine points. Frosh to Play Commerce The next game one the frosh schedule finds Commerce playing the yearlings at the Igloo Satur day. This team is not considered the strongest in the Portland loop, but is expected to put up a good fight. The frosh have thus far averaged better than 36 points per game, but have not scheduled any tough competition before the rook game, which takes place Friday, January 23.

FRUIT, OVALTINE, PIE, ET CETERA—OLINGER (Continued from Page One) summer vacation was occupied with flying his brother’s plane on Sundays and driving mules on the ranch during the week. Gib was born in Madison, Wis consin, where he played his first basketball on the Madison high school team. He later moved to Milton, and for two years played for Milton high school. He is now playing his third year on Oregon’s varsity. The business administration de partment is preparing Olinger for his vocation of fruit distributing, or preferably, to become a “fruit er”—the basketball boys insist on this name for Gib's profession. Philosophy is his favorite sub ject. “I read lots of it,” says the basketball captain. Modesty is an evident charac teristic of Olinger’s and his knack for shunning reporters is superb. Hearts, none other excluded, is his favorite game, with basketball running a close second. Gib is a Friar, men’s upper class honorary, and a member of Scab bard and Blade, national military honorary.
