America selec
tion announced
j by Liberty mag
azine yesterday
"" . following that
Mikulak publication’s poll
of the nation’s best footballers the
fullbacking job on the .second team
was handed to Mike.
Differing from most all-Ameri
can teams, which are usually se
lected by a small group of news
papermen or an even smaller
board of coaches, the all-players’
selection sponsored by Liberty was
made from a tabulation of votes
cast by 1508 gridiron performers
from 19 colleges and universities.
In this compilation of mythical
elevens a more accurate indica
tion of a player’s true worth is ob
tained than by any other method
of selection. If anyone is qualified
to say how good a man is, it most
certainly is the fellow on the team
which opposed that man. If his
opponent thinks he is good he has
passed the acid test.
This method of picking the top
notchers not only reduces the po
litical element to a minimum but
it also cuts out the favoritism or,
shall we say, biased judgment
which crops in now and then even
when the best of the so-called ex
perts are picking them.
Another advantage gained
through having the players them
selves name the best men who
faced them is the lessening of the
publicity factor. Many an all
American has gained that ranking
primarily because he was boomed
by one or more sports writers. The
agitation would begin in a small
way and gradually gain momen
tum and volume very much as does
a snowball rolling down hill. Be
fore long that one man has been
in the spotlight enough so specta
tors and experts alike begin to
watch tlie fellow who has caused
all the liullaballo. The more men
tion he gets the more he is watched
and as a result he often gets the
honors while some other man on
the same team has been playing
equally as well. The only differ
ence being that one man caught
the eye while the other missed the
limelight.
The Liberty poll proves conclu
sively that Mikulak rates right at
the top of the 1933 heap even
though his prowess was not recog
nized by some of the self-styled
all-American authorities who an
nually turn in their observations
to some of tlie national periodicals.
Though basketball season is but
little more than half over the
schools in the souttfern division of

Reinhart Working Men
Hard for Series
(filer's Sliots Difficult to Sto;>,
N:iy Ducks; .1. Jones
And Miller Try
By BILL EBERHART
Coach Bill Reinhart is sending
his boys through tough paces this
week in preparation for a return
engagement with Washington next
week. The Huskies play a two
game series with Oregon State in
Corvallis this weekend and jour
ney to Eugene for a like engage
ment next Monday and Tuesday.
Two weak points in the Web
foot team cropped out in the se
ries in Seattle last week sloppy
ball handling and inefficient de
fense. These are the wrinkled
spots in the Oregon playing that
Bill is trying to iron out this week.
The former deficiency lost the
ball game last Friday, and Satur
day night’s tilt was won hy Wash
ington chiefly on the scoring
spree of Bob Galer.
Galer Hard to Stop
It is a strong' possibility that
Reinhart will find no one capable
of holding down high-scorer Galer.
Bud Jones and Bob Miller, two
of the biggest and strongest
guards on the squad, .were used
against Galer in Seattle, but
neither could stop him. Oregon
players report that the Husky ace
shoots in such a way that nobody
could stop him when he's hot
fakes forward, draws back, and
takes a high two-handed shot in
the midst of a backward stride.
Knowing what to look for,
though, will be a big advantage
for the Webfoots in the coming
series, and Mr. Galer may not do
so well in McArthur court next
week. Reinhart and his squad are
more optimistic about the next
encounter with the championship
headed aggregation than they
were before the series last week.
They've felt the Seattle team out,
know what they can do, and feel
fairly ^confident of bowling the
top team over for at least one
game.
Heavers May Win
The Oregon State Beavers, in
deep second place, stand the best
chance of any other outfit in the
circuit of knocking the Huskies
out of their perfect record. With
a four-defeat disadvantage, the
Orangemen will have to step on
it to beat Washington to the tape
at the end of the season, but a
victory or two over the league
leading five is not to be unex
pected at this stage of the cam
paign.
It has not been an unusual thing
in this division for one team to
beat another quintet three out of
four games, and have the second
team win the conference flag.
time to the California campus for
another year. Of these men >S8 are
aspirants for varsity positions
while the remaining 32 will make
up the freshman nine.
Signup day is quite an occasion
on the Berkeley campus. Some
350 baseball enthusiasts attended
the first session when the candi
dates reported for practice. Lew
Fonseca, manager of the Chicago
White Sox was on hand in person
ami he showed motion pictures of
the famous stars of the American
league doing their stuff in the
light way. The Sox manager
pointed out the correct ways to
play each position and gave helps
as to the easiest way for a player
to correct tiis mistakes

Sully Alim Speaks at
\ VN CA Politick Dinner
After tlie pot luck dinner Tues
day night, sponsored each term
by upperelass commission of the
Y. VV. C. A., Mrs. Sally Allen gave I
a brief talk on "Growing Up"
She said that there are two times
in life most difficult to pass ,
through when one grows up in
body, and when one grows up in !
mind. Of these two, she told the i
girls gathered in the “Y” bunga- I
low, the latter is by far the most
difficult.
Stressing the importance of
learning how to make decisions;
and do things for one’s self, she
said, "It' you never pull away and
free yourself, you never will grow
up."
Mrs. Allen outlined the various
distressing experiences involved in
growing up as disillusionment,
which concerns the discovery that
people and things are not perfect
as one has believed; and realiza
tion that the world is not black
and white, not good and bad, but
a mixture of many greys.

Astoria, Salem and Eugene High
AH Killed for Next Week;
Eugene Is Strong
Gene Shields, frosh basketball
mentor, yesterday stated that,
contrary to previous announce
ments, the Astoria and Salem
games, along with the Eugene
high tilt, will take place next
week.
This leaves the Wendling Town
ies as the sole opposition for the
Ducklings this week, the game
taking place tonight in the Wend
ling gym. This gym, like those
cf most small high schools, is built
on the general dimensions of a
shoe box, according to Shields,
making fast and calculated play
next to impossible.
With this factor in view, the
frosh mentor will probably con
struct the offense of the yearling
hoopers along the long shot route.
He has not set any definite start
ing lineup, but stated that Liebo
witz, stellar guard, and Helmkin,
who heretofore had been fighting
it out with Joe Murray for center,
would be shifted to forward, while
Murray is slated to hold the center
post. At guards will be Roten
berg and Northum, comparative
newcomers to the first string.
Lewis, Hardisty, Williamson, and
Faust, who have seen a great deal
of action thus far, will be avail
able for reserve duty.
The Wendling lineup will prob
ably be the same as that which
lost to the frosh two weeks ago,
Wright and Cox at forwards; Mehl
at center; and Page and Dorsey,
guards.
The next opportunity for the
students and townspeople to view
the frosh will be Wednesday, when
the Duckling's tajre on Eugene
high, now considered one of the
strongest quintets in the state.

According to H. J. Stegeman,

been 91 football coaches in the

He gave six reasons for these
coaches’ failure which give rise
to our definition of a Lucky

this, any rival basketball player

Varsity Wins First
Water Tilt Beating
FroshT earn, 5 0-2 4
Wally Hng and Jim Reed Outstanding
For Victors; Dean Chalks Up
Lone Yearling Firs!
By GEORGE JONES
The 'Webfont varsity swimming team last night splashed
its way to an easy victory over the Ducklings in the Gerlinger
pool to the tune of 50-24. Wally Hug scored 13 counters, to
lead the victors’ scoring parade.
The older performers had the situation well in hand from
the start, although the yearlings pulled up to a 11-10 conn'-,
when Bob Dean copped the 200-yard breast stroke. The meet
at times developed into a comedy of errors, as frosh and \arsii\
men alike splashed into the water before the signal. The offi
cials were new to the task and several of the swimmers had
not participated in bona ride*
matches before, hence the ragged
starts.
Dean Bests Mayer
Although the yearlings lost by
a large margin, several fine pros
pects were uncovered. Dean, win
ner of the breast stroke, set his
pace nicely to barely nose out Ken
Mayer of the varsity in a hair
line decision. The varsity, how
ever, w-as handicapped by the loss
of Forrest Kerby. Leonard Scrog
gins, yearling co-captain, per
formed in a manner to gladden the
heart of Coach Hoyman, almost
catching Wally Hug in the 40
yard dash. Chuck Reed also dis
played great promise.
For the varsity, Hug was out
standing. The big fellow copped
two firsts and participated in the
final relay. Jim Reed easily out
distanced his opponents in win
ning the 160-yard backstroke by
a lap. Francis Oglesby won the
440-yard free style with consum
mate ease.
Varsity Shows Strength
The meet gave indications of a
fine varsity team. While winning
from the frosh is in no way the
same proposition &s handling the
Washington mermen, the Webfoot
splashers look ready for a sue- ■
cessful season.
As an added attraction, the two '
teams put on a water polo game, !
the varsity shutting out the hap- i
less frosh, 8-0. Jim Reed and |
Wally Hug were the big noises
for the varsity, each scoring four
counters.
