VOLUME XXXV Page 4 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1934 The Tip-Off; By BILL PHIPPS Dean Bovard Promotes New Move; DeNeffe’s to Play Varsity Today at 3 Bill Reinhart deserved every word we said about him yesterday. His was the first obvious step in the new move now on to inculcate appreciation of athletics into the average spectator or fan. His was the first act on the program and well deserves the opening round of applause. But for the responsi bility of the origin of this new sports emphasis, we must look elsewhere. Dean John F. Bovard has long had as one of his cardinal princi ples in his administration of the physical education school, the theory that athletics and sports of all kinds are just as important to the spectator as to the participant. In order to enjoy and watch an athletic contest intelligently, the man or woman in the stands must first know what the players are trying to do, and how they intend to bring it about. Having worked along this line in his physical education classes for years, Bovard now desires to reach out and carry the gospel to that great mass of untutored fans who habitually attend football and basketball games without knowing what they are missing. Bovard, then, is the driving force behind the new move. If the rest of the University coaching staff will ral ly round with the same willingness shown Thursday afternoon by Reinhart, Eugene and the Oregon campus will be able to boast the most learned bunch of drug store quarterbacks to be found any where. As a tapering off measure in preparation for the Washington series, Reinhart has arranged a scrimmage with the DeNeffe inde pendent team for this afternoon at 3. The workout will have the sem blance of a real game, and those who think they have been denied their usual weekend basketball fare should not be disappointed. DeNeffe's, state independent champs last year, have scrim maged the varsity several times this season, and always give a good account of themselves. Two ex-Webfoot hoop captains, Jean Eberhart and Windsor Calkins, are the mainstays of the clothing store outfit, and the younger members of Reinhart’s squad learn plenty of tricks from these past masters of the court game. Frank “Plunks” Reinhart, Bill's brother, is the manager of the independent champs, and plenty of friendly ri valry is worked up in these sham battles. Since no regular games have been scheduled for the cam pus this week-end, it might not be a bad idea to drop around the igloo this afternoon and see why Jean and Windy were picked on several all-northwest selections in their day. Northwestern to Give Fellowships Twenty-five fellowships, schol arships and assistantships in the Northwestern school of commerce and economics have been made available this year. There are four teaching fellow ships of $500 to $800 each plus tuition, six graduate assistant po sitions of $150 to $400 each plus tuition and eight tuition scholar ships in the school of commerce. The school of economics offers three assistantships of $800, tui tion not included, and four assist antships of $100 tuition not in cluded. Several other minor scholarships in other subjects are also avail able. Northwestern offers twenty courses in all, each counting credit for a master’s degree. All appli cations must be in by March 1. Books Received From University of Michigan Reaping rewards for its recent industry in sending packages of i exchange material to other librar- 1 ies, the University library yester- i day received a group of books on exchange from the University of ] Michigan. Pamphlets, yearbooks, and re ports of various kinds make up a great part of the group of addi- , i tions. One book, however, a little ' more colorful than the rest is “Homes of American Authors," published in 1853. It tells of vis- : its to the authors in their homes ind is illustrated with pictures of the homes in color, from plates en- ' : graved on wood and steel. i “Patronize Emerald advertisers.” | OSC Hoopers Hand Washington First Conference Defeat W.S.C. Team, Vandals Meet In Second Tilt Both Teams Hold Down Conference Cellar Idahoans Victors in First Game; Bitterly Fought Contest Expected Tonight UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Feb. 2.-(Special)- Univer sity of Idaho and Washington State college meet in the Memo rial gymnasium Saturday night in the second tilt of their four-game basketball series. The Vandals defeated the Cougars 34-28 in the opening round at Pullman Janu ary 20. While no conference title hinges upon the outcome of the Idaho W. S. C. game, no championship battle is ever more bitterly con tested than a Cougar-Vandal me lee. A capacity crowd is expected in the Idaho gym. A Vandal victory Saturday night will lift Coach Rich Fox's crew out of the northern division cellar at Washington State’s ex pense. Both teams have improved greatly since the start of the sea son, and despite Idaho’s six-point, nargin in their first meeting, adds are apparently even for the coming game. The Vandals di vided their last series with Oregon State, and the Cougars did like vise, winning the second game by i decisive score after dropping he opener to the Beavers. The visiting Cougars will probably line jp with Johnson and McPhee at forward; Houston, center; and Scott aind Wills, guards. Houston s a new man in the Washington State lineup, the other four being /eterans of many Cougar-Vandal court clashes. Four starting berths in the Idaho quintet are cinched for Sat jrday night, but a wide open bat le has been on this week for one >f the forward posts. Big Harold Klumb will start at one forward, Howard Grenier at center, and iVally Geraghty and Merle Fisher it the guards. A four-way fight ;or the nod at the other forward imong Vic Warner, Horton Her nan, Bill Katsllometes and Glenn Maslund won’t be decided until game time. Six Donut Teams ( Jet Division Titles Am!

War Prevention Council Gives Library 2 Books Bare facts about war are dis closed in two books recently pre sented to the library by the Eu gene chapter of the Council for the Prevention of War. "The Horror of It" is the title of a book of authentic pictures from government files of war scenes not of military display, but of the fields after battles in the World war. "Bloody Traffic,” by Fenner Borckway, is the other book given by the council. It treats of nego tiations having to do with the arming of the war participants. t University Graduate's Story Told in Journal The story of Donald Smith, ,, graduate of the University of Ore- | gon, who recently had his eye sight restored by an operation, having lost it in an explosion at the age of 10, is told in an edito rial of the Oregon Journal for Thursday. The editorial asks aid for the boy, who since the return of sight wishes ,to take up the study of law, but is confronted with difficulties in meeting the expenses involved. !

The northern team will meet Willie Jones and his comrades at the Igloo Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30 o’clock. Sport Chats from HERE and THERE By DAN E. CLARK Jr. *-Did You Know That: r|,HE N. R. A. is changing every thing? While looking through a new book on games we found that that cunning old-fashioned game of "Post-office" is now called "Employment Bureau!” It may not be sports but its sporty. One of the pastimes of the gay Britishers of Queen Eliza beth’s time was to stage a play called “Hock-Tuesday”? Nowa days if the monthly cheek does not come in, it’s as likely to be “Hock-Wednesday or Friday”! * * * In the good old days the people had to be told that golf was dif ferent than baseball? King Ed ward III of England issued tin edict to his wondering subjects saying that "club-ball" was a pas time clearly distinguishable from "cambuc" or “golf" .... Eddy wasn't the only boy who has to tell the spectators what it’s all about. ... In his education talk, Thursday. Bill Reinhart finally convinced a number of fair coeds that basketball and football were a bit different in other respects than where they are played. It was a nice day today? UNIVERSITY WILL BE REPRESENTED IN MEET (Continued from Pane One) In the competition, Miss Hick son won from a field that included Pauline George, Max Carter, and Winfield Atkinson. The state peace oratorical con test, at which Miss Hickson will be the University’s representative, will award prizes of $50, $30, and $20 to first, second, and third place winners. &IUWJB. ’ IBI3BSSBI.

Swim Teams Billed The opening conference meet of the season with Washington next Saturday will give a fair indica tion of the Webfoot swimming tal ent. The Huskies have a fair team, plus Jack Medica, who was recent ly rule eligible by the Pacific Coast conference. There had been some doubt as to his eligibility, because he competed for the Washington Athletic club last year. He has not yet decided whether or not he will take ad vantage of the ruling. Mike Hoyman, Webfoot mentor, yesterday stated, “If Medica swims, we will be forced to con cede the Huskies 15 points.” The Husky merman ranks with the best in the free-style events, in which he possesses several world and national records. He first won national recognition by swimming in the 1932 Olympics. Plans are also being made to send him as a representative of Washington to the national AAU meet at the end of the season. As Medica is only I a sophomore, he should go far be fore his collegiate career is ended. Medica, however, is not the sole hope of Jack Torney’s aquatic team. Pete Dix, who cavorts in the 100-yard backstroke, has, been making good time lately. Chuck Mucha, in the free style events, has bettered his times of last year. Hurley DeRoin, ex-gridster, is also a veteran diver, and aiding him are Eddie Clinton, Jack Beardwood, and Stanley Peterson. Les Coo per, who holds down the breast stroke, is improved over last year. This outfit has already taken the University of British Columbia down the line, and figures to do the same to the Webfoot natators. For the Oregon team, little can as yet be said, for the varsity has had no competition, and swimming was not on the sport program of last year. Outstanding in expe rience are Wally Hug and Bob Needham, two year lettermen, who perform in the free-styfe events. Nason Newport has been coming along fast lately, and should give a fine account of him self. Francis Oglesby, another of the “old guard,” has turned in several excellent times in the 440 yard event. Although Jim Reed is only a sophomore, he has devel oped into the outstanding back stroker on the squad. Forrest Ker by is the only capable breast stroker on the team, but has been out lately with illness. Ladd Sher man is doing the diving for the Webfoots, but just what he will do against the Husky divers is prob- i lematical. Others who will have j a chance in the Washington clash Ik -- Orangemen Check Flag-Bound Huskies At Corvallis, 25-21 Northerners Lose First Tilt of Current Season; Galer Continues Scoring Spree ; By BILL EBERIIART The University of Washington hoop quintet suffered the first defeat in nine conference starts last night in Corvallis, when the second-place Beavers slipped one over on Coach Il.ec Edmundson and his lads and came out on the long end of a 25-to-21 score. The challenging Orangemen started from the opening whistle to amass a lead that the desperately fighting Huskies could never quite equal. The Staters counted five times in the are Ken Mayer, Bill Angell, Max Calandra, and Jim Ringrose. The varsity showed several rough edges in the freshman tilt. The newcomers, especially, were somewhat nervous, showing a ten dency to jump the gun. Next week’s sessions will probably give some time to correcting this de ficiency. Before the meet, perma-' nent captains will be elected. The complete swimming sched ule for 1934, announced last night by the ASUO offices contains the following tilts: February 10—Washington, at Eugene. February 17—Oregon State, at Eugene. March 3—Oregon State, at Cor vallis. March 17—Northwest swim ming championships, at Portland. March 24—Multnomah Athletic club, at Portland. Alfred Schmidt to Sail For Germany Tuesday Among the passengers to sail from Portland next Tuesday aboard the Hamburg-American motorship Los Angeles, will be Al fred H. Schmidt, graduate of the University last June. He will be bound for Germany, where he plans to continue his medical stud ies at the University of Heidel berg for two years. Schmidt was a member and last year's president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon, social fraternity on the campus. • nrst nan Deiore wagner, oeaiaiu center, hit the hoop for Washing ton. The second period opened with the Huskies trailing, 13 to 5. The breach was widened to 17 to 5, be fore the league-leaders could find the basket. At this juncture, however, Bob Galer, leading north ern division scorer, opened up a scoring parade which, with Cook’s shot, put Washington up within two points of the Staters’ score. McDonald and Lenchitsky, the Orange guards, sank a basket apiece and the Corvallis team drew steadily away. Washington was unable to effectively pierce the Beavers’ zone defense and consequently missed many short shots. The Huskies were con stantly baffled by the hustling Beaver ball hawks. Summary: Oregon State (25) O'Connell, forward . 9 Hibbard, forward . 2 Folen, center . 3 McDonald, guard . 2 Lenchitsky, guard . 3 Palmberg, forward . 1 Taylor, forward . 5 Washington (21) Galer, forward . 9 Hanover, forward . 2 Wagner, center . 2 Lee, guard . 3 Weber, guard . 3 Cook, guard . 2 Merrin, guard . 0 Referee: Emil Piluso, Portland.
