SIMPS GLIMPSE By NED SIMPSON A quandary has arisen—if quan-i daries arise—over the question of how to start off our career as a columnist and guider of the des tines of the sports page. All the times, when as a freshman we wished that we might step into Hamby’s shoes for a few moments and dictate to the assembled min ions on the sports staff, crowd back upon the memory like pale ghosts—boy, how they haunt! —and make the writer wonder why he ever thought he could write a column anyway. Well, here goes! * * * Evidently the W.S.C. Cougars have changed their style of basket ball since last they played our dab bling Ducks. Instead of running up a tremendous lead in the first few minutes and then waiting for their opponents to catch up, they have turned the tables around a little. The tussle was hardly five minutes old Monday night up there in Pullman before Willy Jones had holed out four baskets. Coach Jack I'l'iel changed his men around a trifle and whiff! there was very little scoring the rest of the half, with Oregon having an eight point lead. Then the fireworks started, only in exactly the reverse from the way they popped up at the Ig loo two weeks ago. Let’s hope the W’ebfoots get baek to their old ways again soon. The Oregon all-Stars, composed of varsity football and basketball stars, and Bruce Hamby, have been holding practice every once in a while, getting into shape for a barnstorming tour around the state. The team will be organized much on the order of the aggre gation Mike Mikulak captained last winter, and which made a big suc cess of the idea, playing about 20 games and winning most of them. This year's crop of hoopsters in clude Butch Morse, who used to star at Benson high in Portland before he turned all his efforts to football, George Pepelnjak, “Dutch” Clark, Jimmy Watts, as sistant frosh coach, Ralph Terje son, and Bruce Hamby, A.S.U.O. publicity hound. Several others may join the ranks of the outfit if not stigma will be cast on their amateur standing, as they still, have spring term sports ahead of them. Varsity and freshman trackmen are bounding around Hayward field these days, when the weather per mits (otherwise they work out in side the Igloo), already getting themselves in shape for the early spring meets. Col. Bill has a fine crop of dash men from last year’s IF .S.C. Cougars Change Style; Many Track Aspirants Showing Female Hoopers Enter Interliouse Cup Competition Nine Living Organizations! Signed Up Already Campus coeds are basketball minded! Nine living organizations! have signed up for interhouse com-1 petition which will begin soon. Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa. Alpha Omicron Pi. Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Phi. Orides, Hendricks and Susan: Campbell halls promise strong competition for the basketball cup which is awarded annually to the winning house. Gamma Phi Beta holds the cup from last year after defeating all ! other runners-up in the contest.: Interclass games will also be played off, according to Margaret Daggett, basketball manager. Three preliminary practices are I necessary before anyone may take part in the games. Heart checks from the dispensary must be turned in by all women except freshmen. Living organizations who have j not signed up for competition arc i asked to get in touch with the! basketball manager or to sign the! large poster on the bulletin board! in the women’s gymnasium. frosh team, several new luminaries! from California J. C.’s, and plenty j of hefty men to toss the weights' around. Led by Bob Wagner, iron man of the Northwest conference— he runs the two-mile, one mile, 440, or just anything—a team which has such star veterans as. “Flash” Nowland, ..high ..hurdler, ..Carson1 Sboemake, champ ..sprinter; . Rob “Slab” ..Parke, ..national ..javelin champ; Johnny Stolp, high jump er from Modesto, Cal., who clears six feet six with the greatest of ease; Gardie Frye, who tosses dis cus and shots about with abandon; and a host of others; seems at such an early date as this to have just about won the Northwest title. Weather ..permitting ..this ..spring they probably will! * * * All out for the classic with the Huskies Friday night. They’re a fighting, fast, gambling outfit, led by “Goose” Galer, high scorer of the coast last year, and probably the best basketeer this section has seen since Ed Lewis baffled them ever at State. And let's give our own gang a little hand to get them back on their 'feet again. i Delivers the Goods Phone 3300 EMERALD CLASSIFIED - ■■ - --- J._-" ■ ■ _ —■ — . .

Anyway since the Beta Theta P' donuteers, who at present lead the interhouse parade, overcame the Kappa Sigs yesterday in rather smooth style within the handball boxes, something of the sort is be ing rumored around the campus. The issue of handball reign, however, will be decided Thursday afternoon, with the Phi Delts challenging the almost perennial rule of the Millracers. McCredie, Parke Min Hoisting from the bag a neat set of surprises, the all-year lead ers set back the Kappa Sigs yester day in all three matches. Hugh Mc Credie waxed George Kotchik in the first rank singles upset, 21-14, 21-10, and Bob “Smokey” Parke chunky footballer, pushed Howard Bobbitt out of the running in the second rate singles, 21-1S and 21 13. In the doubles fracas George Corey and Keith “Spike" Powers former Grant athlete, won from the Kappa Sigs, Harry Lucas and Grant Eade, 21-17, 5-21, 21-8. Millracers Load The victory gave the Betas a 29-point margin over the Yeomen in the present stage of the all-year race. The total lead is now 421 tc 392 with results counted in swim ming, water polo, cross-country “A” and "B” basketball, and hand ball. Y’ Cabinet Plans Fireside Forums The Y.M.C.A. cabinet met last night in the “Y” hut at 7:30 tc complete plans for organizing the fireside forums, which are to be held in the men’s living organiza tions each Tuesday in February. Students were delegated to con tact prospective speakers, and the subjects for discussion were de termined. The fireside forums are informal discussions, which will be led b> members of the faculty, ministers business men, and others. The gatherings are sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., and previous to last year have been an annual event Last night the cabinet discussec the decision of each fraternity anc dormitory as to whether or not it desires to hold the forums. The living organizations’ choice ol speakers and subjects will be con sidered on Wednesday, January 23 CLARK RECEIVES BOOK Prof. R. C.

I Turnbull Presents (Continued from Page One) Near Ages Helpful That age difference is not such a vital problem is the contention of Dr. Berkowitz. It is true, he says, that women mature more readily than men, but an approxi mate nearness of age is all that is essential. The fact that a hus band is of the same age as the wife, or a few years younger, does not mean that the two could not carry out a successful marriage contract. Setting $150, earned entirely by . the husband, as the average monthly income necessary for a | man and wife, Dr. Berkowitz , stressed the fact that no definite budget can be prepared, that the life accustomed to, and the ideals t established were to be considered. 1 j As for the question of a wife i working, he said that here again, Where you can get quality food at reasonable prices. UNIVERSITY GROCERY 111li and Alder si. a K>'1-<<J|I'R tIMM Question? Do school tests of child ren's eyes positively deter mine whether or not a child has need for glasses? ANSWER—-At best such Icsts are only prclimiuar; and no other claim is made for them. Such tests are important and necessary but a complete and .scientific test should be nuide at least once during each school vear. DR. ELLA C. MEADE OPTOMETRIST J4 West Sth Ave. a i a idiotic ddo it was a matter of personal deci sion, but that authorities are agreed that once a man and wife have maintained standards of liv ing made possible by their com bined incomes it is difficult for them to lower the standards and to consider raising children at such a monetary sacrifice. In-Laws Not Helpful As factors interfering with love after marriage D r. Berkowitz named the intrusion of in-laws, an unhappy barrier between the en tante of husband and wife; seeds of unhappiness sown when old friends of one of the couple inter fere; and gradual elimination of attention on the part of either the man or the wife. “While no couple is all-suffic ient,’’ he stressed, “old friends can ruin a marriage. It is important, however, that a couple make mut j ual fi'iends to add to the fullness i of life.’’ Advising boys on the psychology of marriage, the lecturer suggested i he necessity of a joint consipracy I to keep romantic love from fading, the importance of the man's main tainence of attention, courtesies | and trivialities of gentlemanliness j common to the “promotion period." i In concluding the lecture, Dr Berkowitz cited the two accepted theories of marriage: the one with a genuine ii : r y, a sharing oi everything, the other with com plete independence, entire freedom arid separate careers. The former he says, insure.-; the greatest felic ity, for ‘in open-minded res lit j lies the seed of the greatest peace.’ Dr. fierkovvitz i rabbi of th< I Temple Beth I- e l of Portland : --A has lectured here several time: j i - to la -t evening' speech.

The Phi Psi sextet won the first game 16-14 then came right back to take the second by a 15-10 count, though they were forced to overcome an eight point handicap to do so. Phi Gamma Delta was forced to the limit before they finally downed the Pi Kaps by a close score of two games to one. The Pi Kaps edged out ahead in the first tilt by a 15-12 score, but starting with the second game things took on an entirely different complexion. With every man playing good ball, the Fijis sewed up the match by tak ing the last two games by the de cisive scores of 15-7 and 15-1. In what was easily the most en thusiastic, though by no means the most skillful, exhibition of vol leyball, the Chi Psi netters downed Delta Tau Delta in two out of three games. The Chi Psis won the first tilt easily 15-4, dropped the [second 14-16,. then with the games [at one-all, came back in the decid ing game to win 15-2. Sigma Phi Epsilon had little dif ficulty in defeating Theta Chi by decisive scores of 15-6 and 15-4. Theta Chi was handicapped by having only four men at the start of the match, and as a result play was a little bit ragged at times. In the remaining match the Yeo men won as expected from the Sig ma Nu squad by 15-13 and 15-5 scores. The victory was the sec ond for the independents, and placed them at the top in their league. Sigma Chi won from Gamma hall on a forfeit to complete the afternoon's schedule of six match es.

Washke Calls Meeting Of Frosh and Varsity ISetmen for Thursday Aspirants to the tennis team will meet in the classroom of the men's gym Thursday at 4:30 p. m., according to an an nouncement by Paul Washke, tennis coach. Coach Washke stressed the fact that the meeting was for both varsity and freshman net men. and urged all prospective racquet wielders to turn out. 1 )r. Berkowitz (Continued from Pone One) verbatim as it appeared in the Ore gonian, laid it away in his files for future reference, noting that this seemed to upset his impression, which apparently had been held by leachers of journalism generally, that the New York Herald’s inter view with one of John Brown's friends after the raid on Harper's Ferry in October, 1859, was the first interview ever published in this country. This would make it, probably, the world’s first inter view, since that particular journal istic form had made considerable headway in this country before it was used by newspapers in Europe. The Greeley interview, obviously, would be three months earlier than anything based on the raid at Har per's Ferry could possibly be. Turnbull’s attention was direct ed to this subject again a few weeks ago, when Marlen E. Pew, in his “Shop Talk at Thirty” de partment of Editor and Publisher, standard weekly trade magazine of journalism quoted John Hubert Creusel in an interesting, circum stantial account of how Bennett’s Herald got the interview which is commonly credited with being the pioneer of news stories of that type* Mr. Greusel, “Shop Talk” said, “lo cated a copy of the Herald in the files of the Congressional library, and he tells the story ... as fol lows: “ ‘While Brown was lying in prison, before the hanging, a great wave of politico-religious excite ment swept the North. The inten sity of public feeling demanded new news treatment. It was im portant that leaders speak in the first person in newspaper print. This started when Bennett sent a reporter to Syracuse to locate Ger t it Smith, rich and influential Quaker farmer, and to ask him point-blank if the reports that he bad secretly supported the John Brown raids were true. The re porter hired a horse and buggy and drove to Smith’s homestead. The Quaker talked freely, and when the reporter returned to New York he was ordered to write the man’s own words in quotes. A copy of the issue of the Herald containing this interview is filed in the Con gressional library. It covered a full page, in agate type, written in the technique that has since become a newspaper convention. It might have been written yesterday, in so far as style is concerned ... I do not know the name of the reporter who interwlewed Gerrit Smith. It should be included here. The inter view was not signed, and the Her ald records have been lost. We can only pay our tribute to Ben nett the publisher.” i To be continued i Students Receive 625 Odd Jobs Last Term Approximately 625 odd jobs, av (.raging a dollar each, were giver to University students last term reported Miss Janet Smith, employ ment secretary, yesterday. Shi said that the citizens of Eugeni have been “just wonderful" in pro viding work, and that the student arc extremely appreciative. These odd job., include washing windows, earing for children, rak i ing leaves, repairing doorbells , waiting on tables, and other smal , assignments. Last term one stu dent made good money by taking i i dead animal from underneath i t house. 1 Send the Emerald to your friend Silver Leads Frosh Horde In Conquest * Sharp - Shooting Center Drops in 17 Points Height Is Aid Perrin Shines for Salem Team in Uneven Fray Dave Silver, sharp-shooting cen ter for the University of Oregon freshman basketball team has earned the monicker of "Hands” Silver. The reason for the christening was that last night at the igloo "Hands” with his six-inch digits was tossing the ball into the hoop from all angles to lead the Duck lings in a 44 to 22 conquest at the e::p -e of the Salem high, school Vikings. Silver lead the pack with a total of 17 markers. Although the Frosh must be credited with earning points by clever handling of the casaba, their biggest accomplishment was due to their tremendous height. They overshadowed the preppers by more than six inches. Stafford Shines Too Silver broke the ice for tho Frosh with an overhand toss to lake the advantage over Salem after several fast minutes with the ball traveling to both ends of the court. Four more points were made by Vernon Moore and Jack Staf ford before the Vikings could line up their sights, and Johnny Perrin scored the first field goal for the capitol city quintet. Silver added four more points just before the finish of the first quarter to make the score 10 to 4 in the advantage of the first year men. Scoring honors were divided be tween Stafford and Silver in the second period of play. Stafford played an excellent brand of ball all evening, and was behind Silver in points scored with a total of eight. Stafford made one field goal and converted a free toss to garner three digits, while “Hands” was contented with adding four more left-handed tosses to bring the half time score to 23 to 10. Frosh Hold Lead Perrin and Phil Salstrom, the only two lettermen on the Salem team, swapped scoring honors in the first half. Perrin accounted for six points, while Salstrom made four. Entering the second half of the game with a 13 point lead, the Frosh began where they had left off, only this time to be led by big Vernon Moore and Harry Ragsdale. The Long Beach twins finally got their scoring eye early in the be ginning of the third period and, with Moore swinging a long shot from out beyond the center line, made a the gap a bit wider. At this point the Vikings were apparently getting tired of being scored on so easily and Perrin swished in two long shots from dif ferent corners of the court before Ragsdale could begin scoring again for the Yearlings. Dropping back to the side-lines, the fiery-topped guard placed three buckets in three attempts to make the count 31 to 14. Shots by Moore and Salstrom ended the third period point mak ing. The score was 33 to 18. Oregon Scores Last Swishing in two south-pawed shots, Silver accounted for four more. Gwynn and Brown then went on a short scoring spree that gave them four points. Two free tosses and a field goal by Brown ended the scoring for the visitors. Hass swung in one free throw and a field goal, while Willie Wil liamson finished up the scoring for the Frosh. summary: Frosh (44 i Silver, c . Lasselle, f ..... Stafford, f Hass, g .
