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.

Aspirants Capture Right to Join
Sigma Delta Psi, National
Athletic Fraternity
The names of Howard Patter
son, Mark Temple, and William
Bowerman have been added to the
list of University men who have
won their way into the narrow
circle of Sigma Delta Psi, national
honorary athletic fraternity.
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.

S.I’.E. 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.

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.
