Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Reinhart’s l\'eiv Jump Plan Will Get Trial; Mike, Bree Are Back To center-jump or not to center jump seems to be the question in coast basketball games this winter. i n e soutnern division of the conference tossed back a negative reply and are now using their system whereby the center - jump gets quite a shove towards being eliminated by use of out-of Bounds plays in Gene Shields its stead at cer tain stages of the game. Taking a step in the same direc tion, Gene Shields plans to use one of Bill Reinhart’s ideas on the cen ter-jump propositions in a test game between his Duckling hoop men and any agreeable opponent sometime later this season. Reinhart’s suggestion, proposed some time ago, is to make the jump a rotating affair between every man on the two opposing fives. Thus No. 1 man would always oppose No. I man, No. 2-No. 2, etc. The advantages of the proposal could be listed as follows: 1. Would cuot down the advant age one very tall man now gives a team. 2. Lead to developing the jump ing power of all the players and tend to make for better all-around men. 3. Retains the thrill and excite ment of the tip offs and the play around the center circle. 4. Give a good 6 foot jumper the advantage he deserves over a poor 6 foot jumper. 5. Would, everything considered, put all teams on a more even basis. Under the setup there would of course be plenty of shifting around and substituting by coaches to get their proteges lined up right, but with only one reentry per half al lowed for each player too much of it couldn’t go on. Of course there would be some mismating of men. So with apparently not very many real drawbacks to the pro posal, we’ll anxiously await it's testing and see how officials and rulemakers accept it.

The second game of the Idaho series will be broadcast over radio station KGA, Spokane, Saturday night. The first game ever to go on the air from Moscow was flashed out last Saturday when the Vandals met the Cougars. It'll be tennis betwen the halves of basketball games at the igloo if at all possible, Coach Paul Washke states. Most of the players still think it will be fine despite the one protest received. However the boys will need a little time practicing to get used to the hard floor, so it's not absolutely sure yet just when the proposed plan will get under way. * * * Mike Mikulak and Bree Cuppo ■s Vgrr« o'" Jefferson "The True Democrat* Third President of The United States You get “true" value in every piece of jewelry bought here.

Coaches Asked To Officiate Pro Football Contest PORTLAND, Jan. 16—(API — Football coaches from coast con ference schools may don knee breeches and act as officials for a professional football game here February 3 between the New York Giants and Pacific coast all-stars. Invitations to officiate were sent to four coaches when it was learned here that Herb Dana, com missioner of coast conference of ficials, decreed that coast confer ence officials who work profession al games will be blacklisted. The committee in charge re ceived an answer from Orin Hol lingbery, Washington State college grid mentor who is in San Fran cisco, that he would “wire answer upon approval from college.” Prink Callison, Oregon coach wired: “Will be glad to assist with civic football game subject to University authorities approval.” Aaron Frank, chairman of the festival finance committee, late to day received a telegram from Tom Stoddard of the University of Ore gon graduate manager's office stating: “Associated students give un qualified endorsement of this move.” Lon Stiner, Oregon State foot ball coach, telephoned he would be glad to help out in any way, but preferred not to referee. oaeh Jimmy Phelan of the Uni versity of Washington was the fourth coach asked to work in the game.

Entry Lists for Donut Wrestling Tournament Close This Afternoon Today is the last day for in tramural house managers to hand in lists of wrestlers to Earl E. Boushey, supervisor of do nut activities. The hug and tug gents will begin their tournament in about a month, but must hold three workouts a week from now cm in order to participate, it was announced by Boushey yester day. Practice sessions are being held daily fiom 4 to 5:30 p. m. in the gym under the direction of Tom Mountain and Con Fury. Any other individuals or groups in the University aside from in tramural contestants are wel come to receive instruction. In order to gain the entrance points each organization must enter three men who have com pleted their weekly training. Competition will be held in the following weights: 125, 135. 145, 155, 165. 175, 178 up. A varia tion of three pounds from the official weight in each division will be allowed. Dean Gilbert (Continued jrom Piu/c One) to the payment of bonds issued for building purposes was definitely conferred on the board. In the meantime, Oregon’s quota had been exhausted under P.W.A. allotments and the library project, although it was given a high rating in Washington, had to await the availability of other funds. Legal questions were again raised regarding the ability of a state instutions to incur debt in excess of $50,000 which was the constitutional limit on state in debtedness. This question had been definitely settled in the McClain case involving the issue of bonds for the John Straub Memorial hall, but the Washington authorities had apparently overlooked the ap plication of this case to the present projects. Morse Arranges Hearing When Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, visited Washington early in December, 1934, he found both infirmary and library projects under legal ban and arranged for a hearing after which the authori ties placed the library again on the eligible list. Shortly after this incident some funds reverted to Oregon from un used allotments and at a meeting held late in December the P.W.A. board placed its stamp of approval on the library project, loan and grant amounting to $350,000. Be fore its release, however, Presi dent Roosevelt had to atach hi.1 signature and this final act of ap proval was given yesterday.

Rated as com paratively harm «. less at the begin | ning of the sea i: son, the Idaho Vandals shocked Rich Fox the basketball world into recognition when a 37-3G victory from the title-de fending Huskies in their first game of the season.
