VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1934 Page 4 Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. -Dill You Know That: TYICK BLACK, captain of the Dartmouth football tearri of 1928, was so seriously injured playing- ping-pong he had to be taken to the infirmary? Don’t let this fact discourage all of you manly exponents of the game, however. It might spoil the tour nament now in progress. Dick, by the way, ran a large splinter into his forearm. Jack Sharkey’s real name in Josef Paul Cukosehay? Schmel ing’s correct cognomen is Herr Maximilian Siegfried Victor Schmeling? If you called Jack Dempsey, \V i I I i a rn Hatrison Dempsey, he wouldn’t, object'.’ That happens to be his don Hen ry. In 1929 they were planning to use white boxing gloves in Ilii * nois ? , Several members of the Univer sity wrestling team are going to Portland soon to compete in the Pacific Northwest Amateur? A.ny one interested in wrestling (afraid women can’t get in on this) should go over to the men’s gym after noons at 4 and work out with I he boys. Mike Mikiilak Unable To Play Willi All-Stars Because of some official “dy ing” Mike Mikulak will be unable to play with the Oregon All-Stars when the team makes an invasion of Portland and vicinity this week end. Mikulak will accompany the team, however, as referee. The Stars will meet four team ; on (he trip. Tomorrow night, they play Pacific college. In Portland they tangle with Murel Nehl’s Co lumbia All-stars and Union Oil, the latter game taking place Sat urday night. Monday the Stars journey to Tillamook for an en counter with the ocean city champs. ANY WAY YOU FIGURE Up-to-TIIE-neck ill studies . • . or head-over-heels in prom-time! Any time is PEP time.

Gene Shields yesterday stated that the only frosh hoopers cer tain to start were Sam Liebowitz, guard from . Brooklyn, New York, and John Lewis, of Seattle, who holds down a forward position. Helmken or Murray will start at ihe pivot post. At the beginning ! of the season, Murray, because of his superior heighth, was given the call, but Helmken has been coming along with a rush during the past few games, and is some what more of a scoring threat than Murray. Williamson appears Lo have the call at the other for ward, while Faust is encountering stiff opposition from Hardisty at the other guard. Kooks Work Hard At Corvallis, George ,Scott, rook mentor, has been working over time the last week to develop a defense. The team has been strengthened by the return of Art Mcrryman to the squad, giving Scott, three good forwards Tor gerson, Mcrryman and Tuttle. Tut tle, who played quite a bit of foot ball for the college yearlings, will probably pair with Merryman. Wellington will play center, and Deming and Kebbe guards. Looking over the comparative scores of the two teams, one is forced to give an edge to the frosh. In the six games played thus far, the frosh have rolled through all opposition, defeating Longview high, 33 to 19; Eugene high, 22-19; Franklin high, '17-18; University high, 46-18; the Wen-j dling Townies, 46-23; and Com merce high, 47-16, a total of 207 points to 113 for opponents. Rook Record Impressive The rooks, while winning only two and tying two, seem to have played a shade tougher opposition. Victories over Albany college and Corvallis high grace the baby Beavers' escutcheon, while they were smacked down by Salem high in an overtime tilt, and lost to Albany in a return game. The two defeats can be overlooked, however, as Salem is recognized as one of the best prep school organizations in the state, and a the rooks were hoopers enough to split with Albany the shade given to the frosh will be- very slight. Shields’ reserve material, as well as his first string, seems to be superior to that of the rooks. The honor of being the outstand ing man on the frosh squad lies between Liebowitz and Lewis. Liebowitz is easily the best floor player, and uses a deceptive change of pace. His main diffi culty so far has been in getting acquainted with the Oregon sys tem of basketball. Lewis has been outstanding in every game, and is Today 2:15 SPECIAL MATINEE Tonight at 7 The Gayest Musical Shaw you’ve ever seen! JACK 1U CH W AN ill— WAKEUP and DREAM Crammed with comedy, too.

Yeomen and SAE Volleyball Teams Win ir Victories Fiji-; and Delta Epsilon Go Down In Only Games of Day; Four Forfeit:: Are Recorded Things were quiet on the donut volleyball front last night as four of the six scheduled games went the forfeit route. The Delts won from Sigma Nu on a forfeit, Sher ry Ross holds a forfeit victory over Omega hall, Theta Chi won when Alpha hall didn't appear, and Phi Gamma Delta annexed an unearned victory when La Casa Filipina for feited. The one interesting game of the evening was between Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Phi Gamma Delta “E” team. The former won, 15-9, 15-12. Prospects were rather dark for the S.A.E.’s until Vander Zan den came along. It was his prow ess that netted them a win over the Fijis. The Yeomen "B’s” had no dif ficulty in trimming Delta Upsilon two straight, 15-3, 15-5. Good nigh did a big- share of the net work for the independents. well towards the top in the scor ing column. This game between the green yearlings shoidd be, as other "civil w a r” contests, fiercely fought. The dope is liable to be upset, which may mean that the rookies might walk off with everything except the referee and Hayward field. A preliminary game sees the perennial local prep rivals, Eu gene high and University high, battling it out in the first of the series. These fives always put on a colorful, fast contest. The Pur ple horde of Eugene once more has Ford Danner, center, who was ineligible for the first semester, available for the tete-a-tete. Preliminary Starts at ’7:30 The Eugene players have a fair record, smacking over all opposi tion except Oakridge, but said op position lias been nothing to scream about. University high has had a rather spotty season thus far, downing some opponents, and being trimmed in return by others. The return of “Bugs" Faust to the lineup ought to help the slipping Golden Tide, which lo§t to the farmer boys of Oak ridge high the other night. The high school contest starts at 7:30, and the yearling game at 8:30. Student body cards will ad mit the holder to both games.

Washington State Pennant Hopes Dashed hy Vandals\ Cougars Dopeil to Win Plenty More Gaines Editor’s note: This is the fourth and last of a series of articles by Dan E. Clark, .Jr„ Emerald sports writer, con cerning the respective strength of basketball teams in the Northwest division of the Pa cific Coast conference. By DAN E. CLARK, Jr. Washington State’s pennant hopes took a nose dive last Satur day at the hands of the cellar-po sition Idaho Van dais, but we picK the Cougars to get some mighty sweet revenge be fore the season is over. With Kenneth Wills and Huntly McPhee, second and third in the Northwest scor ing parade re spectively, Jack Ken \\ ills Friel's boys give advance notice that they are yet to be reckoned with in the race. The Pullmanites took two on tha chin from Washington last week, yet this writer wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Cougars cleaned Washington in the remaining two and let Idaho down on the short end of a three-one series. In Wills, Friel has one of the hardest men in the Northwest con ference to guard. He is deadly ac curate with that one-handed push shot of his from all corners from the floor, and anyone who has played against him will vouch for the fact that they wished they had a helper. MePhee, the other high-scoring forward is a howitzer expert. His high looping long ones from near the center of the floor are likely to cause the Oregon Staters and their zone defense plenty of trou ble when the Beavers and Cougars UNIVERSITY , GROCERY Across from Kappa Si^tna : ICE CREAM ; CANDY Bachelor's Supplies clash at Pullman Friday and Sat urday. At the center position is tall Bob j Houston, the skyscraper boy who towers above the rest of the cen-1 ters in the conference with a 6 foot I 7 inch expansion between the top of his head and the soles of his feet. Although Houston has not shown the polished floor work of his teammates so far this season he is a dangerous man to leave un guarded and his value by no means ceases after he gets the tip-off. At the guard positions are Scott and the up-and-coming sophomore. Holstine. Scott is another long shot artist and an important cog in the Washington State machine. Holstine didn't show much during the first of the season, his place being taken by the widely herald ed veteran, Roland Johnson. The latter failed to come up to pre season predictions and in the Washingtdn-W. S. C. tussle, Hol stine got his chance. He nearly pulled the Cougars out on top in the second game and won the hon or of starting with the regulars in the Idaho game. Johnson may find his stride, however, and make the sophomore flash wait another year for stardom.. Unless they get some lucky breaks the Cougars are out of the race but now that the champion ship worry is off their minds they can concentrate on spilling the dope bucket for the other pennant aspirants. With Washington State and Idaho mowing down the lead ers and the leaders hacking at each other, any hat in the ring is going to get a dent in it. Managers of Varsity Sport Events Named Receive Honored Posts i For Good Work Birkinshaw, Woodin, and Golden Win Major Berths; Juniors Also Selected The appointments of the student athletic managers for varsity sports were confirmed yesterday by the executive council of the As sociated Students. The men se lected as senior managers for the major sports are as follows: Track—Hal Birkinshaw. Swimming—Eldon Woodin. Football -Paul Golden. These men received this honored position following their good work in previous years in the capacity of junior manager. They will, of course, make all the trips with the varsity squads and receive a man ager’s letter award for the work connected with the position. At the same meeting the execu tive council also announced the selection of junior managers from the group of candidates who were eligible for the position following their work as freshmen and soph omores in the capacity of first and second year managers. Any inter ested man may tryout during these first two years and the final selec tion of junior managers is made from the best of the group. The men winning the coveted football places were: Sterling Boyd, Harold Peterson, Benton Hargreaves, Donald French, and Alfred Eames. For swimming John Zehntbauer and Tom McCall will act as junior managers. James Ringrose, Reed Swenson, and Tom Jones were selected last spring to act in that capacity for track and will retain their position. Talk about one grand swimming meet! The Alpha Phis placed first j in five (all) of the events, against | the Chi Omega swimming team. The 40-yard crawl was won by Caroline Card, and the 40-yard ! breast stroke ended with Dorothy I Cunningham the winner. Jean Burnett and Mary Mc Cracken made the competition pretty stiff in diving, both of them tying for first place. Jo Poor, Chi Omega executed some good dives. They say that Mary McCracken ! had never done the back stroke be I fore yesterday afternoon but she 1 placed second in that event, i Just another note: Alpha Phis j hold first place in spectators, too. Too bad somebody doesn’t donate l a cup for them. Double swimming meet this af ternoon! Tri-Delt vs. Susan Campbell and Sigma Kappa vs. Alpha Omicron Pi. All P. E. majors and minors are urged to sign up for a week-end at Peter’s lodge. Those who wish may hike out. Audrey Eeymer will j lead this group. They will leave | the women’s gym at 2 p. m. on ! Saturday. Others who wish may j take the Springfield bus. You may stay overnight at Pe ter’s ledge if you wish and return | when you wish.

Idaho, after quelling the Beavers in the first game handily, vir tually eliminated themselves from further title consideration by drop ping the Wednesday night struggle to the Staters. Oregon State drew a notch closer to the fatal elimination line by losing their third game in six starts. To Reinhart’s men must go the responsibility of stopping the un defeated purple-jerseyed five. The Webfoot machine appears not only as second to Washington in the conference standings but as the most logical five to halt the Huskies’-* winning streak. The Reinhart system, with capable men to exe cute it this year, is fashioned per fectly for Coach Hec Edmundson's man-to-man defensive style. Al though winning but two games out of 16 last year, one of the vic tories was an overwhelming drub bing inflicted to the Huskies at the close of the season, 41 to 26. Just what the far superior Oregon darkhorses of 1934 will do tonight and tomorrow will undoubtedly depend on their success at guard ing the sharpshooting Husky for ward, Bob Galer. Ken Wills ef fectively checked the flashy Galer in the first game at Pullman, which went to overtime and nearly resulted in a win for the hard working but relatively weak Staters. Oregon State to Play The Oregon State five tangles with W. S. C. at Pullman tonight and tomorrow evening in the final two-game series of their present j road trip. The Beavers lost the first game to Idaho Tuesday, when the Vandals began pene trating the zone defense of the invaders at will in the second half and went on to win the game, 31 to 25. The score at half time was 16 to 11 in favor of the Gillmen. Klumb, Vandal forward, scored eight points, and Fisher, guard, nine, to lead the winners’ attack. Folen, Beaver center, garnered 10 points for the losers. The next night the Beavers staged a comeback and downed their rivals, 32 to 23, with George Hibbard running wild to score 13 points for the winners. The Mos cow team enjoyed a slight lead at half time, 13 to 12. Series Crucial The impending series with Wash ington State is the crucial inva sion for the Beavers, as two re versals to the Cougars will elimi nate the Corvallis team from the! race, leaving only Oregon as a possible titleholder. The Pullman team is already out of the race but dangerous enough to put a crimp into plans of any confer ence team, as long as Wills, stel lar guard, and the brilliant Hol stine, sophomore forward, are clicking. Providing the Beavers win both of these games, and Oregon drops two to Washington, the Oregon State quintet would go into second place. Washington will still hold the lead even though she drops the twin bill to the Webfoots. Bears, U. C. L. A. to Vie The annual Hal Eifert - Don Piper scoring duel will be resumed again tomorrow night at Berke ley, when the California Bears play host to th£ U. C. L. A. Bruin, in the first game of a twin bill. The Golden Bears are sharing the conference lead with U. S. C. and are favored to trounce their southern cousins, but the Bruins have in years past had a very bad habit of upsetting title contenders quite regularly. Eifert, who nosed cut Piper for scoring honors last year, is far in front of the Ucla captain this year, having chalked up 35 markers to Piper’s 20. Coach Sam Barry has been wearing a frown this week in an ticipation of the weekend series, tonight and Saturday against Stanford. The Trojan mentor ex pects a lot more trouble from the Cards than he experienced last week when the S. C. quintet played LT. C. L. A.' Both coaches will send full strength squads on to the floor tonight, barring late injuries. It should develop in a scoring duel between Lee Guttero, Trojan center, and Keith Topping, brilliant Stanford forward. The Stanford team is tied with U. C. L. A. with one win and two losses. “Patronize Emerald advertisers.” IRISH CASH STORES Free Delivery Four Times Daily Margarine 3 pounds 20C Corn Golden Bantam 3 cans . . ^ 5 C Tomatoes Dinnerette Brand Solid Pack cans Coffee s. & w. 4-lb. can 95c Sugar Pure Cane A £? io ibs. .. r±DC mo lbs. $4.49 Flour McKenzie 49 lbs. . . $1.35 Peas Entwocd Brand Beans 3 Sister Brand Green Cut gj 3 cans . . .Xijt Coffee Par Vacuum Pack 1 -lb. cans 3 for . . 69c Soap Laundry Soap 1 0 bars . .
