Page 4 VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1934 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS Joker in the Deck for Tennis Dopesters; Egan On Walker Cup Team WAHEN Ellsworth Vines, the lanky California youth, who staged a meteoric rise to the top of the tennis world in 1932 and just as rapidly toppled from his place in the sun last summer, turned professional a yowl went up around these United States. The hullabaloo came from those pessimists who despite Vines’ poor showing in 1933 were still con vinced the success of the Davis Cup squad this year depended up on him. Regardless of what some of the American followers of the net game think about the 1934 team, none other than Henri Cochet, the ace of the French tennis contin gent, is of the opinion the Amer icans will not fare so badly. He bases his statements on the fact that the United States players will have an advantage this year because the matches will be played in England on grass courts, and because the Americans never lose the doubles anyway. Cochet has it all figured out that Shields and Wood are about on a par with Austin and Perry on the grass and that with any kind of a break the singles should be divided evenly, leaving the Americans to continue their policy of taking the doubles. That is figuring it out pretty Well if the Americans and the British meet. The only joker to Cochet’s diagnosis is that he has completely forgotten Australia. The boys from “down under” are likely to be the camouflaged wolf as far as the United States is concerned, so it will not be a com plete shock if McGrath and Craw ford bob up to knock over the Americans during the zone play. H. Chandler Egan, the "grand old man” of amateur golf, this year joins the select rank of those few Oregonians who have ever participated for the United States on the Walker Cup team. Egan has for years been a successful orehardist living in Medford, al though now he spends a good por tion of his time in Del Monte, California. Back in 1904-5 Eagan, then a young man, won the national am ateur title. Since that time he has played golf steadily, and al though winning many champion ships, hQ never approached top form again until he made a come back during the last few years. His inclusion on the Walker Cup roster this year is attributed directly to his sensational upset of Johnny Goodman, the open champion, in the first round of the national amateur at Kenwood. It is no secret, however, that the selection of the 01-year-old Medford man is directly attrib uted to the desire of the czars of the U. S. G. A. to lend romance and drama to the historic com petition of the links. The British amateur titlist is Michael Scott, who himself has passed 55 summers, so the coming match play between Egan and Scott is a true natural. With this pair of veterans, who together represent more than a century of golfing, pitted against each other the Walker Cup play will be an epic the most colorful event since Great Britain and the United Stales began sending competing teams across the Atlantic. Fish Named Head Of Faculty (Jroup The Faculty club held its an nual meeting Monday evening, at which three new directors, Kay I’ Bowen, C. G, Howard, and An drew Fish, were elected for the coming year. Following the an nual meeting the board of direc tors met and elected Andrew Fish president of the club. 1 toward was re-elected secretary and Or ville Lindstrom was elected treas urer. It was voted to reduce the an nual membership fees to $5 a cal endar year, with the understand ing" that this reduction was to be gin with the year 1934. The treas urer’s report showed that the club is now entirely out of debt. S. Stephenson Smith, who was the first president of the Faculty club of the University of Oregon, and who aided greatly in its or ganization and success, gave a brief address, and C. V. Boyer, president of the University, spoke to the group. Huskies Practically Cinch Title as Idaho Downs Oregon State Washington Margin and Cougar Jinx Favors fSec Edmundson’s Five For California Playoff By BILL AETZKTj Washington rests practically assured of representing the northern division in the coast conference playoff in California this year as a result of the upset win of the Idaho Vandals over Oregon State last evening at Corvallis by a score of 24 to 22. The Beavers won last night’s game, 40 to 14. The only remaining hope of the Orangemen to defend their ITU! title would be for the Huskies to lose their last four game.;, two of which are played with Oregon State this coming week end. Washington winds up the season with Washington State in two games at Seattle, and a Cougar sweep of this series ap pears very unlikely since W. S. C. has never won a single game from the Purple and Cold at Seattle in 14 seasons of play. The Orangemen, in turn, must win, in addition to the Washing ton series, the last two games of the season from the strong Oregon Webfeet. Oregon Faces Test Oregon takes to the road this week for a test of five games in six nights. The Webfoots meet Washington State in two games at Pullman Friday and Saturday, then journey to Moscow to play a return engagement with the Idaho outfit Monday and Tuesday nights. Wednesday they engage Gonzaga in a non-conference tilt. Coach Reinhart’s boys have evi denced in games to date that they are fully capable of sweeping the four games on the road. This would carry them well over the .500 mark. Although definitely out of the title race, a whirlwind finish would brand Oregon as a formidable contender for honors next year. Should Oregon State prove her self by winning this week's games, the H.uskies would still have the advantage with her only two re maining games to be played against the Cougars. The advan tage lies in the fact that not once in 14 seasons has W. S. C. won a game from the Huskies at Seattle. The Orangemen, who must engage the Webfoots in the final series, can hope for no such pre-game security. Webfoots "Move Tip The Ducks pulled out of their slump to severely trounce the in vading Idaho team in both of the two-game series, and rose from the cellar position to undisputed holder of third place in the stand ings, with four wins and six losses. The Oregon five was never se riously threatened in either game, winning Friday night 43-29, and easily quelling the Vandals Satur day, 31-22. Both contests were very ragged with poor passing and numerous missed shots on both sides. The roughness of the game is evidenced by the 23 fouls com mitted in the first game, and 29 in the second struggle, an extreme number for northern division play. The Webfoots have now wor. two more games than they chalked up last season. In a non-conference series at Seattle the Washington Huskies were embarrassed by Montana Friday night, losing 32-29. The Husky regulars did not prove much more effective than the shock troops when put into the fray at the opening of the second half. Gaining revenge for this up set, the Huskies came back Sat urday night to smother the in vaders, 60-24. California Leads After Southern California had pulled up on an even basis with California by winning the game at Dos Angeles Friday night, 41 34, they once more gave up the lead to the Bears when the latter humbled the Trojans Saturday evening, 37-28. Led by Englehard, flashy for ward, the Bears were decidedly “on" in the second struggle, and the Trojans were at no time able | to forge ahead. They drew up within three points of the Berke ley team on several occasions, however. The four-game series between these two teams was split as a result of the weekend games, but California is enjoying a clear conference lead over the Southern California quintet, which lost one game to Stanford. The Bears have only games with Stanford and U. C. D. A. left, and barring a most derided upset, have VARSITY SERVICE STATION 13th a nil Hilyard More Competition For Track Teams To Be Held Friday Both Frosh and Varsity Included In Third of Hayward’s Tryout Meets The third of the weekly track tryout meets being held by Col. Bill Hayward, track coach, will be held Friday at 3:30 p. m. and will inclule both varsity and frosh competition.

The track at Hayward field should be in good shape for the tryout. Workmen are lining the track with concrete curbing. Track candidates who are to take part are to sign up for Fri day’s meet at the athletic office. History House Will Be Repainted Under CWA Repainting of the history house will temporarily inconvenience the history professors from Friday, February 21 to Wednesday, Feb r uary 24. At that time the walls will be done over in orange and black as a part of the CWA program of work on the campus, according to Professor Harold J. Noble of the history department. The occupants will be forced to abdicate their quarters for several days. the conference championship prac tically cinched at the present time. Incidentally, the Dears have never lost a game to Stanford in 12 and a half seasons of play. Stanford Sweeps Series Stanford swept the series with the lowly Bruins, winning the first game 31-28, and the second 39-34. The games played at Palo Alto give the Cardinals four wins in eight starts, while U. C. L. A. rests in the cellar with one vic tory and seven reversals. This coming weekend will wit ness Stanford entertaining U. S. C. in two games, and the Bears travel to Los Angeles to engage the Bruins in a double bill. Three Enter Membership !

DeNeffe Five Takes Frosh Team, 44-39 Eberhart, Rubenstein Lead Clolliiers Duckling Piny Slow After Past Start; Kooks Series Slated For Weekend The Oregon Ducklings stepped | out of their class last night, taking on DeNeffe’s independent team, and were humbled 44-39, in a rough-and-tumble melee. It was the first loss in five starts for Gene Shields' proteges. The yearlings started the con test as if they might keep up their victory string. They ran up nine points in the first five min utes. Max Rubenstein, diminutive forward on the DeNeffe team, sank a long shot. Each team then al ternated in scoring, until about five minutes before the end of the half, when the frosh led, 18-14. Clothiers Forge Ahead At this stage the Clothiers start ed to sink baskets from all angles, while* holding the yearlings score less. Rubenstein made a short shot, and Jean Eberhart fired in two, and added a foul shot. The half ended at 19-18 in favor of the independents. Under the impetus of the first half rally the Clothiers ran the count up to 29. Then Harry Helm ken rang up a short one for the frosh, and John Lewis, frosh for -ward, batted the ball in on a re bound. Immediately afterwards Arnold Faust dribbled half the length of the floor to sink a crip ple, bringing the score to 29-24 in favor of the DeNeffe team. The Clothiers, however, were equal to the occasion, and drew away from the losers on baskets by Eberhart, Don Siegmund, and Rubenstein. Towards the end of the tilt, Coach “Plunks" Reinhart of the independents sent in a num ber of substitutes, at which time the fi’osh made a number of scores. Every time the yearlings came within striking distance, however, baskets by Eberhart and Rubenstein put the Clothiers far ther ahead. Roy Williamson of the frosh made the last basket of the game, just before the end. Frosh Erratic The frosh seemed somewhat lethargic last night, and after their first-minute spurt slowed down quite a bit. Sam Liebowitz, in par ticular, was off of his usual game, and found Jean Eberhart too much to handle. Helmken and Faust played excellent games and showed a great deal of improve ment. Lewis, like Liebowitz, fell down somewhat on his shooting and guarding. Jean Eberhart, University high mentor, led the scoring with 16 counters. His one-handed flip shots and his effective checking were outstanding features of the game. Close behind was Max Ru benstein, who scored 14 points. Williamson, with 12 points, led the frosh.
