Women’s Sports Editor VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1934 SPORTS THE athletic activities of the University of Oregon, it§ competitive teams and otherwise, should be the concern of each and every student on the campus. Keep abreast of the sport news of your University if you are not actively a participant. Page 4 The Tip-Off Ey BILL, PHIPPS Jack Mr (lira, World's Cham/lion Makes Intrr Collegiate Debut Herr JACK MEDICA’S decision to swim for the University of Washington this season gives fol lowers of aquatic sports in this vicinity the rare opportunity of seeing a world champion as he at tempts to lower the free style present records which he has al ready; established. Medica is a real human fish, and though still a youngster can splash with the best distance paddlers in the busi ness. A trip to the Washington Oregon dual meet at the women’s pool in Gerlinger on Saturday af ternoon will be worth anybody’s while just to see the young Italian speedster go through his paces in his intercollegiate debut. Jack was faced with quite a problem a while ago. He couldn’t make up his mind whether to con tinue to swim for the Washington Athletic club as he did as a fresh man or to take a spot on the Husky swimming team. As ama teur athletics red tape prohibited him from participating for more than one organization, the distinc tion became a momentous one for him. Finally came the announce ment that he had decided to com pete under the Washington colors, and immediately Husky stock rose to a new high and the Webfoot swimmers blew a farewell kiss to 15 precious points. Presumably Jack’s decision to swim for Washington was influ enced by his desire to compete in the national intercollegiate events this year. His favorite distance, 1500 meters, is to be included on the national list for the first time so the Seattle boy will have a chance to hang up a new world's mark in that gruelling event. Saturday against Oregon Jack will take parL in the 100, 220 and the 440, according to the advance dope. He will not swim the longer distance as the 440 is the longest distance offered in dual meets. Jack is practically a cinch to lead the field in each of these free style races to give the invading north erners a block of 15 points for the three events. Chuck Mucha is an other Husky free style swimmer whom Coach Jack Torney thinks will finish ahead of the Oregon mermen. . Oregon's hope is two-fold—(1) A well-balanced outfit which can take some first places and still build up the total count with sec onds and thirds in the races in which the Washington flashes cross the tape first. (2) Two good relay teams who figure to leave the opposition in the backwater. Wally Hug has been taking the sprints in fast time and will be a threat to chalk up a new Pacific coast record in the 100 while Bob Needham, newly elected co-cap tain, has a good chance of break ing the existing Northwest mark in the 220.

R. K. Cutler, director of the group trying out for membership in the organization, announced yesterday that these three men had completed all the events nec essary for entrance. Patterson, besides making the required time in all events, also broke the ex isting Sigma Delta Psi record for the University in the low hurdles, mile run, and rope climb. Two Others Close In addition to Bowerman, Pat terson, and Temple two other men have only one more test left neces sary for membership. Jim Hum mel needs to fulfil only the hand spring requirement, and Maurice Ward has swimming yet to com plete. The local Sigma Delta Psi organization was started during the winter term of 1930 and since that time approximately 425 men have tried out for membership in the group. Of these only 18 oth ers have been successful. Classes lender cutler Classes since the time of or ganization have been under the direction of Cutler and meet regu larly at Haward field on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Anyone who is not a member of the class but desires to try out may do so. A varsity letter may be substi tuted for any Of the 12 events ex cept swimming. Only two such substitutions may be made, how ever.

COLONIAL “Private Life of Henry VIII," Charles Laugh ton. By J. A. NEWTON Ambition Realized Referring of course to Charles Laughton’s desire to portray the character of King Henry VIII. It is said that Laughton's appearance in the picture resembles closely some well-known painting of the actual King Henry. The picture reveals him as not such a bad sort after all. Just the “victim" of a lot of freak circum stances. The main part of the pic ture deals with his married life with Catherine. (I won't pretend to know how to spell it.) He real ly loved her, but she loved a younger member of the court. But she let her desire for social prestige get the best of her. In the end she realizes her mistake and carries on behind the king's back and gets caught. For which i she gets the axe. This show is full of entertaining humor. The king’s "secret" excur sion to Catherine's rooms (before marriage) is an excellent bit of ex- j tended comedy. There is also some good drama, for which Laughton j is responsible. The best part of “Convention! City" at the Mac is its speed, j There isn't a dull second. The gags come thieka and anda fasta. And when you have such expe rienced gag-putters-over as Adolph Menjou, Joan Blondell, Ruth Don nelly and Guy Kibbee you can de pend upon the gags being put over. Suspense is brought in by hav- 1 ing a rivalry for the position of j general manager of the jolly old I rubber company. The two pros-1 pects are Menjou and Kibbee, hav ing been with the company longest and being the best salesmen. The sticker comes when morals count. Menjou is a died-in-the-wool rounder while Kibbee likes to take a flier now and then. Kibbee gets in a jam and Menjou gets himself in a ja mgetting Kibbee out. And out of the mess Joan Blon dell gets a nice fur coat. Dick Powell is just a salesman who wins the boss's daughted. Very fast. » * ♦ “As Husbands Go," story about a wife who falls for an English man. Comes home to tell hus band, but can’t. Finds husband is best after all. Warner Baxter good.

Volleyball Teams Opposition Championship Games Scheduled To Commence at 4:15 In Men’s Gym The final matches of the in tramural volleyball tournament which will Ih‘ held today at 4:15 in the men’s gym are: Phi Delta Theta vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon (A). Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Yeo men (B). Phi Delta Theta and the Yeo men will furnish the opposition for Sigma Phi Epsilon in the finals of the donut volleyball tourna ment this afternoon by virtue of the former’s victory last night over the point-leading Betas in the “A” league semifinals and the de feat of a Phi Delt “B” six by the independent men. The Beta-Phi Delt fracas was a spirited one that made it neces sary to play all three games be fore the Phi Delts finally emerged a 15-4, 13-15, 17-15 victor. Dur ing the first few minutes of the initial game the scoring was even, but the Betas couldn't seem to get organized and lost without of fering much opposition. Phi Delts Rally Bowerman and his teammates came back with some wicked kills in the second canto and ran up seven counters before the Phi Delts made a point. Finally with Olsen working good at the net, Phi Delta Theta started and soon knotted the count at 8-all. The Betas again came back strong in the final few minutes and just edged out their 15-13 victory, to make the count of games even up. Olsen proved the margin of vic tory for the Phi Delts in the third and deciding encounter as time after time he prevented a Beta victory with his effective kills. Bettis Hold Lead Although the Phi Delts started off in the lead they trailed the Betas in scoring until the final moments. Thomas and W. Sieg mund started the first Beta rally which ended in a 7-3 lead. Then Hunter and Olsen started counting for the Phi Delts to run their total to seven points, but Bowerman and D. Siegmund came back strong and the Betas rolled in five counters in a row. With a 13-7 lead and almost certain victory the Betas finally weakened and as Olsen moved in to the front ranks the Phi Delts gradually crept up. Three kills by Bauer knotted the score at 15 all, and then the Phi Delts started clicking again and made the nec essary two counters to win the game. Hunter made the final kill. Yeomen Winners The Yeomen had a much easier time against the Phi Delt “B" leaguers and grabbed the first game 15-10 after holding the lead all during the contest. During the final match, however, the Phi Delts started strong and were leading the scoring until the mid dle of the game. The independents came back then to tie the score at 12-12 and went on to a 15-12 victory. Pad dock and Chatterton led the vic torious team of five Yeomen while Hill and Devers provided most of the opposition for the losers. 1 WE CAN ALWAYS 1 | SAVE YOU MONEY 1 | ON SHOE REPAIRING | HATS CLEANED AND BLOCKED WE DYE SHOES @ Shoe Shines—10c* HARRY’S 1 Du Barry Toiletries Miss Mary Ellen Preston, Riehard lliuiiuit s speeial representative, will be at our store Feb. 1- to Feb. li. to ted von about the Home Method of Hu Barry Beauty Treatments.

Tom Lout tit, Portland, will referee. Committee for the event is Bob Parke, chairman; Bill Bowerman, tickets; Ike Donin, events; Howard Kemper, publicity; and Bob Hun ter, promition. Varsity Runners Will Race Today In Practice Meet Three Track Events Scheduled In First Competition Of 1934 Season “Rain or shine, the varsity track tryouts will be held tomor row,’’ Col. Bill Hayward, Oregon mentor, promised last night. Al though the track squad is still in the early stages of preparation for next term's competition, today’s meet should give some dope on who will be running for Oregon at that time. The meet starts at 3:30. The tryout meet will be limited to three, events, the 75-yard dash, the 300-yard event and the 660 yard run. No field or hurdles events will be held, although some of the field men and hurdlers may compete in the shorter runs. Quarter-milers will run the 300 and the distance men the 660. Just who will compete in the tryouts is not definitely decided, as many of the promising candi dates have not been turning out long enough to enable them to compete without danger of injury. Ralph Sehomp, Doc Merrill, Dick Mears and Howard Patter son will be the outstanding men in the sprints. Sherwood Burr, Oregon track captain, heads the list of 440 men who will be in the 300-yard event. With him will run Bill Bowerman, Whit Arey, Frank Michek, and Clayton Wentz. The lineup for the 660-yard run may include George Scharpf and Bob Ryan, half-milers; Bill Pad dock and Bob Ludington, milers, and Bob Wagner, veteran two miler. However, Ludington and Wagner may be the only ones of this list in the race, since neither Scharpf nor Ryan have been turn ing out regularly and Paddock has an injured leg that may pre vent him from running.

Oregon Swim Team Ready For Huskies Oglesby and Needham Chosen Captains Addition of Champion Jack Medica Boosts Washington Chances For Win Saturday The Webfoot mermen last night chose Bob Needham and Francis Oglesby, senior lettermen, as co captains. These two will lead the Webfoot plot to upset the Husky natators Saturday afternoon. The Huskies, reinforced by Jack Medica, are today rolling south ward for their weekend Oregon invasion, meeting Oregon State Friday evening before proceeding to Eugene. Latest notices froyii Seattle indicate that Jack Medica is sure to swim the 400-yard event, and probably the 220 and 100. New Records Accepted He has received notice that the Amateur Swimming Federation has accepted four of his world record-breaking marks. They in clude the 500-yard race in 5:26.6; 500 meters in 5:27.8; 880 yards, 10:15.4; 1000 yards, 11:37.4. Washington backers are depend ing on at least three firsts from Medica. Pete Dix, highly touted Husky backstroker, should not have any competition, say the Se attle dopesters. They conclude that if Gus Erikson swims, he will put in his contribution by walking off with the breaststroke. Reed Is Real Threat While Mike Hoyman, swim mentor, graciously concedes the invaders three firsts for Medica, he doubts the ability of Dix to shake Jim Reed from his trail. The Oregon exponent of back stroking has shown enough first class swimming thus far to have a fine chance to cross up the Washington natator. Forrest Kerby's status is more uncertain. He has just recovered from a slight illness, and should not be expected to win a first. He lacks experience as yet, but has the makings of a good swim mer, says Hoyman. Hug Expected to Win The two Duck mermen who will have the dubious task of holding Medica to a minimum of points are Francis Oglesby and Clay Sherman. They hope to garner a few seconds and thirds in the wake of Medica. Wally Hug will do the free style sprints, with the aid of Nason Newport and Jim Ringrose. i Liiy J LxJ LiU lifJ Liil Cil dl LHi t±LI LrJ LiiJ LXJ LiiJ LiU L=J LM1UU UU L^U LSii Uii L=J Liil Liii L=J UU L=J LiU LrJ LUJ L=J Liil LrJ LiU LrJ L±iJ Uii LiU LUJ Li±J LrLI CiJ LHJ Cil tii1 1^ Louis Phillipe Lip Stick ------ 79c Dr. West Economy Tooth Brush - - 29c Lister’s Solution, pint.25c Prince Albert, Velvet pocket tins. 10c 1 Listerine, $1.00 bottle.59c | Camels, Old Golds, Lucky Strikes, Chesterfields— 1 per carton.$1.14 CUT RATE DRUGS AND TOBACCOS — 804 WILLAMETTE — STUDENTS’ Professional Directory Dr. Will E.
