Page 4 VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1934 The Tip-Off Ey BILE PHIPPS Sour Milk for 11 eh foot a; Oregon Stale's Problem; In the Southern Division rpHE Ducks may go on a sour * milk diet over the weekend. Tonight Bill Reinhart’s cohorts journey to Cor ffvailis to engage | the coast cham fpionship Oregon | Staters in the ^ second game of | the season. Ad vance dope from ft he farm coun try gives forth the information that the Beavers, still rankling from taking it on Lencnitsky the chin from the Webfoots, have stowed all the choice morsels in tightly locked clipboards leaving nothing but left over sour milk skimmed milk, at that for the visitors. Equally as sour as the fare he plans for tne Oregon five has been the countenance of the usually am iable Amory T. Gill during the past week. "Slats” took the lid from the Beaver pot last Monday following the Staters’ defeat and has been experimenting with va rious ingredients all this week in an effort to find a combination which will increase the acidity of the dish he hopes the Ducks will swallow. Gill was more or less impressed with the work of his two centers, Cliff Folen and Wilbur Kidder, during the first game here. Up until the Oregon tussle Kidder was classed as decidedly the better of Ihe two, but against Willie Jones on that memorable evening how ever, both the young gentlemen had a chance to stop Reinhart’s youthful giant. At the'end of the game Kidder had done about as well as Folen and vice-versa, and Jones had gone merrily on his way chalking up 16 points to lead the scoring. Both of the lads are said to have improved so much during the last few days that Gill thinks he has the W. Jones problem pret ty well under his thumb. During his stirring spree Gill came across a guard post he thought was entirely too palatable for the Webfoots. Carl Kenchitsky, who was one of the best guards in the conference last season, lias not fit in well with Gill’s recipe the last couple of weeks so the re sourceful Orange chief has been mixing a bit of Fred Hill, a spoon ful of Jimmy Heartwell and a pinch of Lenehitsky into his bas ketball salad. IK * * This fellow Heartwell, by the way, has been around the Corval lis institution for a long time. He started out on the rook team of 1929 with Hen Fagans, Howard Merrill, and "Young Mose" Lyman. They went up to the varsity the next year but Jimmy coiddn’t quite hack it then. He stuck to his guns though, and picked up some valuable ex perience with the reserves. Heart well has not been in school for the last year or so, but now, after hav ing recovered from a recent illness, he is ready to see some service. Gill has been using Heartwell and Hill in practice this week at the trouble-making guard position and it is probable that both of them will be on the menu which is being so carefully prepared for the Ducks, Washington’s whirlwind drive toward t tie championship is anoth er incentive for the Beavers to break into tlie win column tonight. Oregon State is chafing as the Huskies are shoving the boys in the north all over the courts. The Orangemen have come to the real ization that they have to turn on the heat and win some ball games if they expect to retain the north ern division title they won last year. * * * However, think you not for a moment that Oregon is obliged to sit down to the repast concocted by Oregon State and make out a whole meal on clabbored milk. Reinhart has not been idle during the interim, and it would not be surprising if the Webfoots de clined the Staters' offer to dine. Oregon State has four large as signments to handle. 1. “Spook” Robertson must be kept in cold storage.

Above is big lied McDonald, Oregon State’s rough-and-ready guard ready to drop in a long one. McDonald has been working hard this week perfecting his offense for use against the VVehfoots tonight. that sharp-shooting dead-ewe out of things is a whole evening’s job by itself. 2. The Orange defense must be arranged to keep Willie Jones from making points from close-in under the bucket. 3. The fast-passing Oregon men who direct the offense—Gib Olin ger, Bill Berg and Budd Jones and Robertson must be kept under con trol so they will not maneuver the Orange defense out of position so Willie Jones can break through to make his set-ups or so Robertson can pick off baskets at long range. 4. Gill’s proteges must rise to the occasion and figure out what ever surprises Reinhart springs on them. if the Beavers take care of these jobs, they will win the ball game — and Oregon will get the sour milk. Francis Hamilton, sports editor of the Stanford Daily, picks Cali fornia as the team to cop the ban ner in the southern division. Rea sons? He offers two: experience and Captain Hal Eifert. Hamilton thinks Eifert’s inspirational leader ship coupled with his ability to make points will be the margin which will enable “Nibs” Price’s eagers to finish at the top. Hamilton seems to be a modest young man. He favors California with the Trojans of U. S. C. next best but he leaves Stanford entire ly out of it. The Indians have tre mendous potential power this sea son in spite of the fact that there are only two veterans in the first string lineup. The Cards are a sizable lot this year and with Keith Topping's habit of taking high-point honors, they are quite likely to put themselves into the race. OREGON, O.S.C.

Either Cliff Koten or Wilbur Kidder will start at the pivot job. Red McDonald at the other back court position, and Captain Skeet O'Connell and George Hibbard at the forwards. Huskies in Lead With Washington leading the league without a defeat, both the Beavers and the Webfoots will have an immense incentive to win this ball game. The job of knock ing the Huskies off the top roost of the conference rests with Ore gon and Oregon State, for Wash ing ion plays eight out of her re maining 10 games with these quintets. Oregon has the better chance to overtake the apparently title-bound team from Seattle, with only one defeat compared to a pair of losses for the Beavers. Tentative lineups: OREGON O. S. C.

Slow Games Mar Donut Volleyball In *B’ League Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon, Yeomen, Phi Delts, Delts Win Games Sigma Hall Gets Forfeit Slow scoring games, which had few good kills, featured the con cluding matches on the first week’s schedule of the intramural volleyball tournament, held last night in the men's gym. All the games were “B” league tilts and most of the athletes were inexpe rienced net men and knew little about setting the ball up. Three contests were forced to complete all three games to de cide a winner. Sigma Nu with only four men on the floor weak ened after winning the first game from Sherry Ross and lost the last two battles to give the series to the dormitory six. Delta Upsilon did the same tiling. After losing their first match to Sigma Alpha Epsilon 11-15, they won their last two 15-5, 15-9 without much trou ble. In the other battle that required the full time to complete, the Phi Delts won their first match and dropped the second to the Chi Psis but won the last in a close contest 15-10. Scruggs, although quite short and unable to make very effective kills, led the Delts in an easy vic tory over Omega hall. The hall boys offered some opposition in the first game but folded up in the final one. / In the Yeomen match with Phi Gamma Delta, Chatterton and Caldwell, fresh from a victory in the handball tourney, and aided by Goodnougli, had little trouble in defeating the Fijis 15-7, 15-7. Sigma hall scored the other vic tory of the evening when the Pi Kaps didn’t appear at the sched uled time. Dr. Seashore to Conduct Seminar For Hermian Club Subject of Kvening Class Will Be “Methods of Improving Molor Teaching'’ Dr. H. H. Seashore of the psy chology department will conduct a seminar for the Hermian club, women’s physical education hono rary, on "Ways of Improving Mo tor Teaching," in the social room, Get linger building, at 9 Monday evening, January 22. Dr. Seashore has devoted much time to research on many phases of motor psychology and the sem inar is expected to prove of value to those interested in physical ed ucation and coaching. New meth ods of teaching motor skills will be discussed. There will be con structive questioning of present methods. All majors and minors in men’s and women's physical education arc urged by department heads to attend this seminar. House Exchange Dinners Planned A resolution to supplant ex change dinners between houses, 1 1 >' exchange desserts, was passed by the interfraternity coun cil meeting yesterday afternoon in 110 Johnson hall. George Hibbard, law student and Chi Psi, was chairman of the committee requesting the change, which will make possible greater economy for these affairs, accord ing to Edwin Mart indale, presi dent of the council. Three dinners will be held dur ing the term at fraternities yet to be chosen, where speakers will talk on fraternity problems to members of the council. 1 he purpose of these dinners, said Martindale, is to foster inter fraternity good feeling and coop eration. Optional purchase of member ship cards to the A. S. U. O. was also discussed at the meeting. DeNeffesTrim Football Stars Atlgloo38-20 Clothiers Give All-Stars' Basketball Lesson Jean Eberhart Leads the Scoring Parade With 14 Points; Chuck Wishard Stars By GEORGE JONES The Oregon All-Stars, making their home debut last night at Mc Arthur court against DeNeffe’s Clothiers, started auspiciously, but could not keep up the pace, and lost to the town independents, 38 20. When Chuck Wishard, lanky All Star center, dropped in tv/o long shots in the opening minutes, it looked as if the ex-grid stars were in for a banner evening, but bas kets by Max Rubenstein and Jean Eberhart evened the count, and by the end of the quarter the score ■was 10-4. DeNeffe Five Finds Hoop The clothiers started pushing in baskets from all directions in the second quarter, while Hughes ac counted for the All-Star points. The half ended at 26-6. The All Stars crept up somewhat on the Clothiers in the third quarter, bringing the score to 34-18. De Neffe’s put on a temporary flurry of baskets in the final period, while preventing their opponents from scoring any field goals. Eberhart, who quit his coaching dutfes at University high long enough to cavort for the Cloth iers, played a sparkling game at center and rang up 14 points, while his teammate, Rubenstein, ac counted for 13. Wishard, of the All-Stars, scored eight of his team’s points. His team missed the services of Mike Mikulak. Ail-stars Hough it Up The game served to give Duck fans a glimpse of football players sans pants (silk and all), helmets, shoulder pads, and jerseys. It was a real treat to watch the boys scrimmage for possession of the ball. There was a diversity of shapes on the team, ranging from chunky pounehy, Bree Cuppoletti to Bernie Hughes, rangy frame. Although performing on the ma plewood, some of the boys showed decided gridiron tendencies, be sides occasional lack of politeness. Pileups were frequent underneath the baskets, with the All-Stars hesitating not at all to . jump on an opponent’s back to wrestle for the ball. Bernie Hughes looked properly regretful at his occasion al roughness, but somehow always seemed to be getting in the way of the Clothiers. The lads, however, showed that they had more than a speaking ac quaintance with the pastime. Mark Temple in particular, flashed some fine floorwork—the same brand that he showed as all-state guard at Pendleton. Wishard, formerly on the Webfoot varsity hoop squad, showed ability in long shots. The scores and lineups: DeNeffe’s, 38 Calkins, f . Eberhart, c Horner, g . Houghton, g .

Not many such exhibits can show this type of topography, according to Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology and geography depart ments.

ANNOUNCEMENT OI’R SLOGAN REMAINS: ‘ FOOD WITH A PERSONALITY’’ THE GREEN PARROT COFFEE SHOP NEXT TO COLONIAL THEATER Indian Hoop Five Flounders In Northern Division Cellar - *-— Vandals May Furnish Trouble for Leaders Editor’s note: This is the third of a series of articles comparing the strength of the Northwest conference basket ball teams by Dan E. Clark, Jr., Emerald sports writer. By DAN E. CLARK, JR. Idaho seems a cinch for the cel lar position this year. This fact doesn’t mean that they aren't to be considered in the race, howev er, The Vandals have taken Ore gon's former place, but it will be recalled that while Oregon had been at or near the bottom of the heap for the past few years, that last year the Rich Fox weoioots mppeu a Wash ington championship drive in the bud with a startling upset at Seattle, and that the year before the Oregon ians shut out Washington State from the championship when the Cougars had the flag nearly in their grasp. The Vandals may be out of the race for the top. but the chances are three to one that they will hobble some of the conference rac ers before the season is over. In Grenier arid Klumb, Coach Rich Fox has two individuals who will measure up to any two play ers in the northwest circuit. Gren ier at center is tall, a fine jump er, and is among the leaders in the scoring race. He is followed closely by Klumb, a forward, who nearly turned the tide against Washington, last Saturday at Mos cow. Idaho was hit hardest by grad uation last year than any other team in the Northwest. She lost four first class regulars whose names were right up there in the conference scoring: Wicks and Barrett, forwards; and Lacy and Hurley, guards. - In the above stars’ places, the Idaho mentor has Klumb at one forward position and Naslund and Warner, alternates, at the other. C. Geraghty and Herman hold down the guard berths with Gren ier at center. Coach Fox’s prospects for next year look much brighter than for the remainder of this season. So far this winter he has had some tough luck. Trying to weld four new men or former substitutes in to a powerful first string combina tion and playing an experienced Washington crew four in a row don't mix together. Whatever the excuse for a sched ule such as Idaho started with, this season, the Vandals should never have consented to such an arrange ment. The boys from Moscow al ways get going about mid-season. With his present material Fox will have a winning combination later in the season but to play the Husk ies as they did and at the first of the season literally meant a gift of four games to Washington and virtually assured Idaho of the cel lar. If the Vandals could have split the series with a month in stead of a week between, they might have evened the count with Washington. As it is the Huskies are well out of it, but Oregon, Washington State, and Oregon State had best beware for though the Vandals may stay in the cellar they will refuse to be kicked around and are. as likely as not to rise up and drag some team down to keep them company.
