VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1934 Page 4 The Tip-Off Ey BILE PHIPPS A Boost for Reinhart And His Talk to Fans On Hoop Appreciation By BILL TOBHRHART (Pinch-hitting for Bill Phipps) A splendid innovation was in troduced late yesterday afternoon hy Bill Reinhart, Oregon’s basket ball coach. Bill turned public speaker and gave about a hundred coeds what it takes to make a real basketball fan. With the help of his hoop squad, Reinhart gave a talk and a demonstration of bas ketball that will turn that crowd of gals into real rooters. The event was staged in the ig loo yesterday afternoon at 4:30, and billed as a talk on ‘‘basketball appreciation.” Townspeople as well as students were invited, but the audience turned out to be most ly girls, with a few straggling male students and business men. It is unfortunate that such a small crowd attended, but if the girls that attended absorbed half of what he told them, Bill’s efforts were more than justified. Instead of peering around to see how many women were bold enough to come out in a new spring bonnet, or searching the opposite bleachers for a glimpse of their “men” of the evening, those gals that were present and awake at Bill’s oration yesterday will under stand what it’s all about at future hoop games. The Webfoot mentor wasn’t stingy with his “class" yesterday; he “shot the works,” and in a manner intelligible to the most un tutored of spectators. Of course Bill knows a lot of technical ins and outs and basketball strategy that he withheld. But he let his audience in on the principal fun damentals that any good fan should know. Those who knew rel atively nothing about the sport were admitted into a new field of knowledge, and those who classed themselves as experts had many points cleared up. Bill told them about shots, both long and short, fakes, blocks, of fensive and defensive systems, and all the rest of it. He pointed out the fact that every basketball player must be his own quarter back, and that the man with the ball determines the play according to the position of the other nine men on the floor. He dished out a little basketball theory that should give those who heard him a real incentive to turn out for the rest of the games this season anti in future years. With the no-pigging rule con stantly in effect, the girls of the campus have virtually no oppor tunity of learning any basketball technique. What their boy friends tell them away from the scene of battle is usually forgotten by the time the next game rolls around. The popularity of any sport is de veloped and sustained by specta tor-interest, and Reinhart took the first step yesterday toward height ening that Interest. The Oregon coach is to be com mended upon his step in a very worthy direction, and the students and townspeople of Eugene are to be congratulated upon having one of the foremost basketball author ities of the country to tutor them in the whats and whys of the court game. Let’s hope that. Bill will find time to give another talk or two before the current season is over, and give a few early in the winter next year. * * * It would bo a fine thing if the other teachers of Oregon athletics would follow Bill's suit. There are many facts and thoughts about football, track, and baseball that the average Mr. Fan knows noth ing about, but about which he is anxious to learn. Since it is the spectator who supports the college team in a financial way, he de serves to know what lies back of the touchdown or the basket. He would appreciate it, and Mr. Kos son would appreciate that “specta tor-interest" stuff that we men tioned. “Patronize Emerald advertisers."

The Orange men must win both of these tilts to remain in the running for the northern division title, as they already have four losses chalked up against them. The Orangemen, meeting the undefeated leaders for the first time this season, have high hopes of turning back the invaders and the pro ficient zone type of defense employed by the (lillinen which has consistently stemmed the “Slats” (Jill Washington attack in former years, might be of the desired potency to again turn the trick in the present campaign. Coach Gill has been revamping his lineup endeavoring to find a combination which has scoring power and at the same time will be able to check the1 high scoring Washinton flashes, Galer, Lee, and Hanover. The Staters have the advantage of playing on their home floor which is peculiarly different than most conference courts. Incidentally, Clyde Wagner, Husky sophomore center, will be playing his first game on the Oregon State floor. Tpe outcome of this series Sat urday should definitely prove something or other. Victories for the Seattle boys would only fur ther the humiliation to the rest of the conference teams, while a complete reversal of dope and Oregon State wins would throw the race once more into an inter esting affair. Beavers Have Chance Shotlld the Beavers pull out ahead in both battles, they would be decidedly back in the struggle for conference honors. In case such a thing happens, and the added incentive result in a couple of Webfoot victories at Eugene, Monday and Tuesday, the three leaders would be in a triangular tie as to units in the loss column, with four reversals each. Such an outcome is not too probable but highly possible. Should this happen, to be fol lowed with a sudden comeback by either Idaho or Washington State or both of them, the conference standings might reach the point of a delightful mess, and break all existing records of a confer ence winner. Husky Five Favored After Washington's impressive record to date, such a result does not appear as logical, and hopes for an outcome of this kind shoidd not be banked on too heavily. Washington State invades the stronghold of her traditional rival, Idaho, at Moscow, in one game, Saturday night. A Vandal vic tory will pull them up to an even basis v^ith the Staters while a Cougar win will give Coach Rich Fox's boys even a tighter hold on the cellar position than they now enjoy. Both quintets seem to have “found themselves" lately and a battle will undoubtedly be waged, the home team appearing to have a slight edge, with Grenier and Klumb, both sharpshooting giants, leading the attack. Stanford Stock (joes lip Games in the southern confer ence find California, present lead ers, meeting the strong Stanford five, which, since its surprise vic tory over U. S. C. in the second game list weekend, has further proved itself as a worthy title contender by a double win over the capable University of San Francisco team this week. The Bears, enjoying a nice lead, are anxious to prove to California 1 basketball fans that the Stanford win over U. S. C. was a fluke, by J trouncing the Cards decisively with their fast breaking offense built around Captain Hal Eifert of the Berkeley team. Coach "Nibs" Price has been drilling in to his boys the importance of that one game lead and they are anx ious to avenge last year's close loss of the championship to It. S. C. by keeping that reversal col umn as it now appears. The U. C. L. A.-Southern Cali fornia game, the second of the se r l ies, this Saturday, will be no set up for the Trojans, for it will Ye Olde Oregon BARBER SHOPPE (Next to College Side) mark the return to the Ucla line up of two strong men, previously held back by the ineligibility route this season. Lanky Bud Rose, who was in eligible lasj year and the first part of this season, will pair with Captain Don Piper at the forward berths. It was Rose, incidentally, who personally accounted for the defeat of Troy in the 1932 series. Piper Always Dangerous Although Piper was bottled up in the first Trojan game, the ad dition of Rose to the lineup will cause the U. S. C. defense a good deal of worry. Don Ashen, the other new comer, will be at one guard posi tion with either Rietz or McFad den at the other defensive post. ' Coach Sam Barry plans to start his regular lineup of Holbrook and Elliot, forwards; L^e Guttero, cen ter; and Bescos and Kelly, guards, with Browning and Findlay ready to enter the struggle when a reg ular falters.

Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. -Dill You Know That: 'T'HE game of handball and the pellet itself was invented be fore the fall of Troy by a fair and well-known socialite of Lydia? The dear girl. She told her playmate Nausica, daughter of Alcinous, king of Phoeacia about her inven tion and they didst verily play to gether upon the green . . . The pastime was introduced into Eng land during the 14th century . . . an old English manuscript says of Saint Cuthbert, “he pleyde atte balle with the, children that his fellowes were.” . . . for an award to the winners they presented tan sy cakes . . . Verily and we shoulde awayrd our campus balle champs wyth tansy cakes! * * * SPECIAL: Our sports staff has been taking a beating at the hands of the fair sex? The other day Bill Phipps crept into the sports room with a dejected and cowed look upon his face. A sport ing Pi Phi had taken advantage of him and walloped him in tennis! Good for the aforesaid Pi Phi. Do it again and Bill will be a perfect lamb around the sports room. (In a whisper we must admit we are another of the miserables. A fair D. G. decided Bill shouldn’t be the only lamb in the fold and so she added further humiliation to the sports staff by taking your cor respondent down the line!) While in our little confession circle, As sistant Editor Bill Eberhart re vealed that between the hours of 12 and 4 one morning last summer a dear girl merrily took his meas ure in ping-pong! Any more omis sions or corrections? Today's col umn should be called Sports Chumps instead of Chats! If the students should enough interest, a series of “spectator talks” such as the fine one Bill Reinhart gave yesterday will be presented in the future ? The se ries will cover the entire range of major sports on the campus and some of the minor activities, and be given by Experts. * * * There are lots of interesting things happening on this campus (believe it or not!) in reference to sports ?

Both matches furnished one interesting game that took more than the usual number of points to determ ine the winner. The independent men started slow and the Sherry Ross six ran up 10 points before the indepen dents scored a counter. Then Crockett and Campbell started making their kills good and soon knotted the count at 14 all. Fol lowing a few exchanges of the ball the Yeomen finally spiked the last | two points necessary to take the I game. In the second match the i hall six folded up and lost 6-15. Stars Missing With two of their stars, Ohmart and Stromberg, missing, the Yeo men team was rather disorganized, but Crockett and Campbell were effective. For the Sherry Ross boys Flick continued his good work of the past. In the Theta Chi-Fiji encounter the first game was an easy vic tory for Theta Chi, but the last match was no walkaway and Phi Gamma Delta forced them to ex tend themselves to gain a final 18-16 victory. Granger was the best man for the victors, while Golden was most effective for the losers. Sammies Win The Sammies with only four men playing turned in one of the oth er victories of the afternoon pro gram with a 15-9, 15-2 defeat of Phi Kappa Psi, while Delta Upsi lon grabbed the other in a close exciting match with Omega hall. The hall team provided plenty of opposition in the second game of the series but lost the final one. Schenk led the killing for the vic tors. The score for the three games was 15-6, 14-16, 15-6. The forfeit victors were Kappa Mikulak Quintet, Ashland Normal Will Play Tonight All-Stars Surprise Hoop Circles With 24-21 Conquest Over Union Oil Team Mikulak’s All-Stars, now proud possessors of a victory over the Union Oil five, take to the road again this weekend. Tonight the ex-gridsters take on Howard Hob son's Sons of Ashland normal. This game should be a bit too hard for the All-Stars, however, as the Sons are very good hoop ers. The team moves on to Klam ath Falls Saturday night to play the Townies. The All-Stars pulled the sur prise of the month by defeating the Union Oilers last week, 24-21. The oilers piled up a commanding lead, and then sauntered to the end of the game. Without about five minutes to go, they woke up to the fact that the score was 22-21 in favor of the ex-gridsters. This was the signal for a wild flurry of shooting, but none of the attempts found the basket, while the All Stars added another. The All-Stars, although losing Mike Mikulak, are taking him on their various trips. In his place is Red Rotenberg, former Webfoot athletic luminary. The rest of the combination, composed of Temple, Wishard, Cuppoletti, and Hughes, has functioned very nicely. Be sides the Oiler tilt, the All-Stars have defeated a number of inde pendent outfits throughout the northern part of the state. -rroDaoie lineups tor tonight s game : AU-Stars Sons Rotenberg.F.

The “cigar box” court in Wendling seriously hampered the usually wide open play of the frosh, and the tilt turned out to be fast but rough. Fourteen personal fouls w ere called, but Referee Estes let many obvious fouls slip by. Playing only part of the first half, Leibowitz and Helmkin, year ling forwards, led their team in the score books with eight mark ers apiece, while Dorsey, Wend ling guard, led both outfits with nine points, five of which were made from the free throw line. Gene Shields takes his first year men on the road next week to play scheduled games with high school teams in Salem and As toria. The former prep school outfit recently knocked over the Oregon State rooks. Summary of last night's game: Frosh (29) FG. Ft. Ff. To.
