Page 4 Varsitv Team EnrouteNortli ToPlay Husky Eleven Hoopers on Trip Willi Bill Reinhart Final Workout on Washington Floor Tonight; Scries to Be Webfoots’ Crucial Test By BILL EBERHART Eleven varsity hoopsters will accompany Coach Bill Reinhart and Student Manager Jim Ohorm ley on the invasion into the firing range territory of the University of Washington, pace-setters of the northern division. The contingent will embark at 8 o'clock this morning, and will he the guests of Oregon Alumni association at a luncheon this noon at the New Heathman hotel in Portland. Unable to decide which man to leave at home, Reinhart last night announced his intention to take an 11-man squad on this first road trip of the season. These players will make the trip: Gib Olinger, Jack Robertson, Willie Jones, Bud Jones, Ron Gemmell, Bill Berg, Bob Miller, Jim Watts, Ed Kunkle, Roland Rourke, and Glenn San ford. Practice Slated for Tonight In preparation for the two game series Friday and Saturday nights, Coach Reinhart plans to send his squad through a final workout on the Washington floor tonight. Bill realizes that all eyes in the conference will be focused on this series and he is holding the practice session tonight for the purpose of applying a few fin ishing touches. The last week of practice has been spent in changing the Web foots' offensive attack back to the orthodox Reinhart system, after the shift to a delayed offense that was used against Oregon State. Hec Edmundson, Husky coach, has always employed the man-to-man defense, for which Reinhart’s blocking system was fashioned. Galer and Lee Cause Worry To guards Olinger and B. Jones will fall the assignment of holding down the scoring of Hal Lee and Bob Galer, Washington sharp shooters. Lee's looping long shots have bothered Oregon teams for two years. Galer has developed into the league's leading point-maker just this season. If Olinger can dupli cate his feat of last year in hold ing down the scoring of Galer, it will go a long way in insuring an Oregon victory.

Not by a Long Shot!9 i Tiny Mable Stark, probably the world’s foremost feminine animal trainer, announces each year at the end of a strenuous season her days as a trainer are over. But when spring rolls around and the circus prepares to hit the sawdust trail, ,Viable is hack again with her snarl ing, fighting troupe of lions and tigers. Pictured here is Mahle with her favorite, Rajah, 250-pound tiger, still game for another season. Bill Berg Gives the Intrepid Reoorter Merry Runaround By VELMA McINTYRE The life of Bill Berg, Handy Andy of Oregon’s basketball squad, is surrounded with mystery at least as far as the press is con cerned, because he simply won’t talk. “I think interviews are a good thing, but don’t put that into print," said Bill, "and newspapers are all right as long as they mind their own business, but I am afraid to talk because I know everything I say will be quoted.” Berg’s birthplace is indefinite, for when asked where he was born and where he came from, he re plied with a swoop of his arm, “Oh, I came from the Middle West, which includes about four states.” Plans for the future are undecid ed as far as Bill is concerned. But by a slip of the tongue he disclosed the secret that there is a possibil ity of his joining Gib Olinger on Olinger's fruit ranch. He fears to have his plans revealed and threat eningly commanded the reporter to divulge none of these projects. “Forget the summer time,” said Berg when questioned as to his p a s t i m e during the summer months. After much persuasion he admitted that during the sum mer before last he was employed on the Boulder dam construction project, the largest construction job in the world. "Last summer I was engaged in the selling line,” he said, and no amount of coaxing would bring him to name the con cern for which he exerted his salesman’s wiles. “I suppose now you will break your neck to find out what I sold,” he remarked sarcastically. Jack Robertson came to the res cue. Berg had been selling Real Silk hosiery! That’s what Robert son said, anyhow. Berg played his first basketball in Minnesota on a grammar school team and performed later for the Billings, Montana, high school. He is a one-year letterman on Ore gon's varsity. He refused to give his opinion of the Oregon team un til the end of the season because, “they might think me very con ceited.” Hitch-hiking great distances is Berg’s favorite pastime. He ad mits that he hasn’t gone far yet and declined to reveal further in formation on this subject, except that South America and Honolulu have a special attraction for him. How he hitch-hikes there is a mys tery, but perhaps he has a solu tion for the problem. "Granite Shoulders,” “Lucy,” "Mushmouth," and “Flatfeet,” are among the nicknames bestowed upon Bill by his solicitous basket ball colleagues. Business administration is Berg’s field of study, and marketing, sell ing and distribution his favorite subjects. Yeomen Smoker Boasts Top Notch Battlers From 1 The best battlers from the Y. M. C. A. will be represented in a smoker at the Y hut Friday night. Joe Bradshaw, boxing director at the Y M C A will have his boys here and four fast bouts are as sured. The smoker is being staged by the Oregon Yeomen, unaffiliated men's organization. Between the bouts, cider, doughnuts and cig arettes will be served, making it a real old-fashioned affair. Bradshaw, who is very scornful of the abilities of the University sluggers, has brought down the following boys to give a show with plenty of action: Fred Meyers, Lloyd Simms, Dick I.aner, Jack Spears, Clarence Young, Kenny Bouser, "Pee Wee” Turner. The bouts will be refereed by | Bill Goodwin of the University. Admittance may be gained either , by presentation of the Yeomen i membership card or for 10 cents. "Patronize Emerald advertisers.'

Swim Squads To Hold Meet At Gerlinger Hoynian Names Captains To Act at Contest Freshmen and Varsity Will Clash In Women’s Fool Wednesday; New Man Aids Regulars Webfoot sport fans will get their first glimpse of this year's edition of the Oregon varsity and frosh swimming squads when the two clash in a meet to be held next Wednesday in the women’s pool at Gerlinger hall. Coach H. S. Hoyman announced yesterday the selection of Bob Needham and Francis Oglesby as acting captains of the varsity swimming and water polo teams respectively. Leonard Scroggins was named as temporary leader of the yearling swimmers and Chuck Reed of the water poloists. Will Pick Permanent Captains Permanent captains for the re mainder of the year will be se lected by ballot of the squad fol lowing this clash Wednesday night and previous to the match February 10 with Washington. Veterans and newcomers are turning out nightly in the com petition for berths on both squads, which are beginning to take on the appearance of organized out fits, according to Hoyman. The veterans so far are holding down most of the regular positions but are being forced to extend them selves. Kerby Strengthens Team With the addition of Forrest Kerby, breast stroke artist, to the varsity, one of the former weak spots of the team has been strengthened considerably. Kerby only recently reported but is now working out regularly. The frosh with a daily turnout of over twenty men are still more or less of an unknown quantity, but with Chuck Reed and other stars as a nucleus Hoyman hopes to form a winning combination from the long list of aspirants. Meet With O. S. C. Probable Hoyman has worked out a regu lar training schedule for the squads and has posted the notice of the program to be followed in the hall leading into the swim ming room. The possibility of a home-and home series with Oregon State later in the season has also been announced from the graduate manager’s office. The contests have not been confirmed, however, and the Washington encounter and the Northwest championship meet are the only approved matches as yet. The Beavers last year had a strong team led by Harold Eisenschmidt, now with the Mult nomah Athletic club. Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. -Did You Know That: When your foot "goes to sleep” it is really waking up? The ting ling sensation comes after a spell of poor circulation has stopped and good circulation begins. What has that got to do with sports, you say? Well, we might add that our friends from Corvallis seems td have had a slight spell of "sleepy feet" when they played Idaho at Moscow Tuesday night. * * * Our modern-day flag-pole sitters may think they have established some records, but they are so far out of the running that it isn't even fun ny ? Back in the good old days before the campus liquor situation reared its head into the peaceful campus life, when Theodosius was trying to make up his mind whether to move to Constantinople (spelled correctly?) or stay in Koine, one of the boys did the stunt for 87 years. This start ed some keen rivalry and the fellow came out on top (0 feet in the air) lasted for 68 years, the present world's record and we challenge anyone to break it! (reference: Cambridge Me dieval History Vol. I.) The Poughkeepsie regatta will be run again this year? It was dis continued last year because of lack of funds. California will no doubt defend its title with the Washington Huskies trying hard for it. * * * The American game conference endorsed the duck stamp bill and it will now go to the house of rep resentatives ? Donut Volleyball Game Scores Confused; Phi Delts and Chi Psis Win Due to an error in reading the score sheet of the intramu ral volleyball games, it was an nounced yesterday that Phi Delta Theta lost to Zeta hall in their “A” league donut volley ball contest. Instead the Phi Delts won their match writh the hall team. It was also stated that Phi Sigma Kappa won by forfeit from the Chi Psis and again the statement should be re versed with the Chi Psis the victors. Volleyball Tilts Show Improved TT Contestants Zeta Hall, Phi Delts, Chi Psis, ATO Turn in Wins; No Players Particularly Outstanding TODAY'S VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE 4:00—Omega hall vs. Sherry Boss (B); Delta Tau Delta vs. Sigma Nu (B). 4:40—Phi Gamma Delta vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon (B); Yeo men vs. Delta Upsilon (B). 5:20—Theta Chi vs. Alpha hall (A); La Casa Filipina vs. Phi Gamma Delta (A). Zeta hall, the Phi Delts, the Chi Psis, and Alpha Tau Omega last night turned in victories as play in the “B" league of the donut volleyball schedule continued with an assortment of games that showed improvement over former “B” league play. No men were particularly out standing in any of the games played, but in the A. T. O. victory over the Phi Psis, Stroble and Avi son were the leaders of the at tack. Sigma hall furnished a little op position in their first game with the Phi Delts but folded up in the final frame to lose 15-10, 15-5. Patton, Vaughan and Helfrich all contributed several kills for the victors. In another match that the first game was a close one the Pi Kaps lost to the Chi Psis in the last contest with ltitle opposition. Zeta hall and Sigma Chi fur nished most of the excitement on the afternoon program with the hall boys ending up on the long end of a 15-7, 15-12 score. The Betas and Theta Chi were awarded victories by the forfeit route when the Phi Sigs and S. A. M. defaulted. Debaters to Meet On Wednesdays The men's varsity debate squad will continue its regular Wednes day night discussion meetings through the rest of January and most of February, W. A. Dahlberg, coach, said yesterday. The squad is studying contemporary political and economic problems—especially those of immediate concern to peo ple of Oregon—in preparation for its schedule of appearances before Oregon communities late in Feb ruary. The debaters will stage their first symposium February 20 be fore the Aurora community club, discussing Oregon's tax crisis. Although the complete schedule has not as yet been arranged, the squad has accepted invitations to appear before a forum at the First Congregational church in Portland, Glendale high school, and Willa mina community club.

AS Independents Cop Handball Championship Three Victories Chalked Up Over Sigma Hall Schneider and Coad Take Doubles Easily While Chatterton and Caldwell Win Singles The Yeomen are the new intra mural handball champions follow ing their defeat of Sigma hall last night in the finals of the donut handball elimination tournament. The independent men chalked up victories easily in all three of their matches. Schneider and Coad, the same doubles combination that headed last year's champions, disposed of the hall team of Dunton and Win slow in short order with a 21-9, 21-9 victory. Five Tourneys Completed Caldwell and Chatterton turned in the other two Yeomen victories although Chatterton was forced to the limit to defeat his opponent, Chancy, 21-18, 21-15. Shephard, the other Sigma hall representa tive in the singles matches, fell before Caldwell and only collected three counters in the two games. The score of this match was 21-2, 21-1. The completion of this event brings the total of donut sports tourneys already through to fiVe. During the fall term swimming water polo, and “A” and “B" bas ketball were all run through. Beta Monopoly Broken The copping of the event by the independent men also marks the first title this year not taken by the Betas and so leaves the winner of the all year point total still open to argument. With volleyball now in session the next intramural sport to get under way will be wrestling and all house managers are asked to see Earl Boushey at the men’s gym and get their entrance list in. Con dition and weight of the men must be checked soon, according to Bou shey. Women’s Athletics By BETTY SHOEMAKER 131 BETA PHI mermaids began the long trek for the Seller swimming cup by defeating Hen dricks Hall 31-13 in the first in terhouse swimming contest. Pi Phis placed first in four of the five events. Martha McCall, swimming in the 40-yard crawl, placed first for the Pi Phis in 28.2 seconds. Maxine Goetsch placed first for Hendricks in the 20-yard racing back and Margaret Daggett came in for a close first in the 40-yard reast stroke event. Freshman women's basketball team defeated the sophomores in a practice game yesterday 18-11. Regular intramural basketball practice this afternoon at 5 o’clock. Come on out and join the crowd. Alpha Phi vs. Chi Omega swim ming team this afternoon at 4 o’clock. * * * Seen yesterday: Alpha Phi co eds viewing the swimming events. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your competition. In fact it is a good idea to back up your own team. The Seller cup would not look bad on the mantel.
