Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Emerald Sports Editor Eligibility Warfare Finished; l\oic Let’s Change Donut Rules TJOSSIBILiITIES of a donut eligi bility warfare have been pushed into oblivion. The definite decision of Bill Reinhart and the intramural ad ministrative board that men we believed ineligible because of play ing with the VARSITY aren’t play ing with the VARSITY because there isn't any VARSITY, settles everything for the rest of this year. ♦ * * Nevertheless we are still battling: for our principle. We still believe the intramural program is for the benefit of the average campus athlete and not a training ground for VARSITY caliber men. This may hurt Bill Reinhart be cause he likes to see the men in action as much as possible and he firmly belives the donut program is for the purpose of developing VARSITY material. We’re sorry. But we are stil holding to our contention that the intramural pro gram is primarily a program to provide sportsmanlike competition for the average, mediocre campus athlete and not a program to de velope VARSITY men. * * * Our cause hopeless for this year, we would like to start getting gen eral campus opinion on a sugges tion we have to change the intra mural program to avoid this sit uation where VARSITY caliber men rule the intramural basket abll play as they do now. The intramural Board has agreed to accept our suggestion and in corporate it in the rules IF the largest number of students and in tramural competitors agree to it. * * * The suggestion is to next year shift basketball to winter term and put volleyball in during fall term. This would have the hoop competi tion going on the , same time as the VARSITY play and then clearly the men who are out for the VAR SITY play will be members of the squad and ineligible for donut play. This will restore the competition, at least a great 'deal more so than it is now, to the average players. We firmly believe the greatest number of living organizations and individuals will benefit by this, and the only ones to whom it will be detrimental are the few groups who have fine crops of athletes. * * * To aid in putting this program across we shall next week, after further discussion, print a ballot for expression of opinion by inter ested donufc competitors and spec| tators. Iguesso squeezing in for a few words picks Stanford, Washington State, and C.C.L.A. to win their games from California, Washing ton, and the Beavers. Women Athletes To Open Hockey Season Monday For the first time this year hoc key sticks will meet in official competition on Monday afternoon when the frosh women clash with the soph co-eds in the opening of the women's inter-class tourna ment.

By aggregating a total of 155 points on fifth place by A1 Carter, seventh place by Bob Powell, eighth place by Bob Thomas, and twenty-second and twenty-third places, the Kappa Sigs captured the first team place from the 10 other organizations entered. Luddington Is Runner-up Twenty-five seconds ahead of Robert Luddington, Theta Chi jogger who entered the final lane in second position, McGaughey trotted down the cinders amid the cheering of the crowd' present in the stands, clocking the time of 15:15. George Jameson, one of the five entrants, crossed the line third in 15 minutes and 42 seconds, fol lowed closely by Herschel Hardis ty, of the S.A.E.’s, and A1 Carter and Bob Powell, former Grant stars, flying the colors of the win ing Kappa Sigs. 37 Racers Finish In credit to the conditioning methods of Russ Cutler who put over the race, 37 of the 43 con testants finished the grind within the 21 minutes required to qualify, and only two failed to pass the line. The donut innovation, long an ambition of Colonel Bill Hayward, perennial Oregon track mentor, was unusually successful, accord ing to the expression of the offi cials in charge, and the enthusias tic rooters in Hayward field, who visually followed the harriers as they climbed the hills in the dis tance and trampled and slid down a muddy path nearly a mile away. McGaughey was given an order whereby he may receive the tur key, which was awarded the win ning runner by Tom Stoddard, as sistant graduate manager. Trophy to Be Presented In the next student assembly the Kappa Sig fraternity will be awarded the silver loving cup by Hayward. This trophy will remain in their posse ssion until next year, when it will again be up for the competing houses. After three vic tories by one house the award will become the permanent possession of that organization. Intramural points to be given the houses have been determined by a mathematical evaluation. Kappa Sigma is given the 75 counts for first place, the Yeomen 72 for second, and Omega hall 58 for third. Each additional house will receive points on the basis of plac es and number of finishing entrants in the same ratio. FLASHES BACK IN SPORTS 5, 10, and 15 Years Ago Today 1929 — CHANCE FOR PEN ' NANT—The Oregon team has a j chance in the pennant race this year.

Sigma Chi Wins From SAE Quint In Overtime Tilt Forfeited Chi Psi Contest Reselieduled; Vail‘s Tallies Decide MONDAY'S “B" SCHEDULE 4:00—Sigma hall vs. Delta Tau Delta. 4:40—Yeomen vs. Omega hall. 5:20—Sigma Nu vs. Theta Chi. Unscathed by the cleared-up for feiture mess and rescheduled to meet the Chi Psis, to whom they previously forfeited, the Sigma Chi “E" donut hoopsters, now with a perfect record, wiped the S.A.E.’s from their first-place position on the league two chart to move into the top rung themselves. Featuring the 12 to 8 contest was the first overtime period of the season’s donut competition, in which Eddie Vail, Oregon's yell leader-basketeer, rung in all four points of the deciding margin. Sweethearts Inspired Tallying only one basket in the first three periods, the Sweethearts were inspired during the final quarter by their rally section and proceeded to move into a tie with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team on goals by Eddie Vail and Ray Koch. After it was discovered that the Chi Psis also used an ineligible “A” player in the recent Sigma Chi Chi Psi encounter, members of the administrative board, instead of barring both squads from further competition in the schedule as pro vided in the rules, decided to rear range the battle due to the sports manship displayed by the groups. By downing the Kappa Sigs, 25 to 6, the SPE's continued their drive to the championship in lea< gue three of the “B” division. Ivan Elliott, Sigma Phi Epsilon front man, rolled up the highest in dividual total in the contest with 11 points on five goals and one free throw. Norm Knauss, winners’ cen ter, followed closely with seven tal lies, while W. Krassig, J. Smith, and Phil Johnson divided the Kap pa Sig markers.

Web foot Pigskin Scouts Pick Coast All-star Teams Oregon’s two de luxe football scouts, Gene Shields and Bill Rein hart, added their names to the list of all-star "pickers” today. The Webfoot coaches, who have seen all of the coast's grid elevens in action this fall, tried to get together on a super all-coast eleven, but couldn’t fit their choices on one team. Seven players, however, were unanimously given first-team berths by both Shields and Reinhart. They were Monk Moscrip, end; Bones Hamilton, right half, and Bob Grayson, fullback, all of Stan ford’s undefeated aggregation; Turk Yezerski, tackle, St. Mary's; Chuck Mucha, guard, Washing ton; Siemmering, center, San Francisco university; and Arieigh Williams, left halfback, California. 1 - * ...fr" Reinhart added to these seven men the names Gene Shields of Ed Erdelatz, end, St. Mary’s; George Theodoratue, tackle, Washington State. Shield's choices numbered Butch Morse, end of Oregon; Reynolds, tackle, Stanford; Nebb Elduayan, guard, St. Mary's, and Howard Pan gle, Oregon State college, at quarterback. Other Oregon linesmen who received mention by both of the Web foot scouts were Alex Eagle and Garnder Frye. Eagle and Frye were both named on Shields’ second team, while Frye was selected to fill the right tackle post on Reinhart’s second squad.

LA BOHEME DISCUSSED Laying the background to Pu cini's opera La Boheme was the chief object of the lecture by Mme. Rose McGrew, Friday, November 23, at" the Hotel Osburn. She dfeJI cussed the setting, the latin quart er of Paris, and the inhabitants who furnish characters. The lec ture was illustrated by Eileen Ed blom's vocal solo and phonograph records. Frosh Hoopsters Conclude Work On Fundamentals Yearlings to Stage First of Scrimmage Tilts Next Week Frosh basketball men will be re warded for their long four-week grind on fundamentals next week when they engage in their first scrimmage of the year, according to Jim Watts, head man of the yearling squad. Except for a few "hunch" games the youngsters have done nothing but drill on passing, checking, dribbling, and shooting and run through plays outlined by Watts on the blackboard. With the completion of the frosh grid schedule a number of the foot ball men have turned out for bas ketball among which there are many promising prospects. Wil liams, Purcell, Lasselle, and Dick from this group are showing up especially well. No games will be played by the Yearlings until after Christmas, Watts said. Longview high school, coached by Scott Milligan, former Oregon hoop star, wanted a tilt here for the latter part of Decem ber, but coming as it woidd during final examinations the game was not scheduled. RACER FORCED TO QUIT After reaching the top of Fair ,mount heights in theird position, Harold Myers, one of the partici pants in yesterday’s cross-country run, was forced to retire from the race because of trouble with his eyesight. Myers was taken to the infirmary after waiting on the heights until help arrived. Disputed Athletes Get By On Technicality Players Eligible Because There Is No Varsity Squad; All Freshmen Can Play Also ^TECHNICALITIES suddenly put an end to yesterdays intramural eligibility squabble when the donut administrative board agreed with Basketball Coach Bill Reinhart's ruling that officially there is no VARSITY basketball squad, thus definitely clearing all men who were listed in yesterday’3 Emerald as ineligible because they were supposedly members of a VARSITY squad, which breaks Section 3-A and 4 of the donut rules. Reinhart said that although men were checking out equipment and working out regularly under his direction there was officially no VAR SITY squad. Players Cleared 4 The question of the eligibility of the men listed hung on the definite decision as to whether the daily practicers were members of a VARSITY squad or not. The nega tive announcement left no doubt of their eligibility. Rules for freshmen, stated yes terday, also say definitely that all first year men, whether out for Frosh basketball or not, are eligi ble competitors. Thus the only limitation on VARSITY calibre men is if they have won a basketball numeral or letter last year, or if they trans ferred as hoop team letter winners from schools of equal rank with Pacific coast conference fives, they cannot compete in donut hoop con tests. More Housecleaning To further aid in the general housecleaning the intramural board tossed the disputed Chi Psi-Sigma Chi “B” game, played November 16, off the record books and said the board would consider favorat .y petitions from the two team mana gers to play the game over. The countest had originally been given to the Chi Psis because of the use of an ineligible Sigma Chi man. But in checking the report of yesterday’s Emerald, the board found the Chi Psis had also used a player not eligible for competition. However, believing the two teams had both used their ineligi ble athlete unknowingly, the board, in order to further a continuance of the sportsmanlike manner in which the organizations handled the matter throughout, decided not to make any more charges but to leave the matter as it originally Settles Issue “Varsity” basketball coach BUI Iteinhnrd, above, whose declaration yesterday that at present there is no varsity team affected a final settlement of Intramural eligibil ity. was before the game was played. However it will be up to the two team managers to take the initia tive in arranging the playoff game according to the decision.
