W ebfoot-Beaver Tilt
As Potential Dynamite'
... By Ned Simpson.
In yesterday morning’s Oregon
ian Mr. L. H. Gregory speculates
at length on the possible outcome
of the conference basketball race.
In about the middle of his column
he mentions the fact that—should
the Beavers drop a couple of games
during their northern trip, and the
Huskies finish the rest of the sea
son without a setback—Oregon
would be the sole team in the Or
angeman path toward a chance at
a playoff with the Huskies.
* * *
In fact, if Oregon State loses
only one contest between now and
March 2, the date of the fourth
and last VVebfoot battle, it will still
mean that the Beavers will have
to win to elinch the chapionship.
Can you imagine a situation that
packs more potential dynamite?
Traditional rivals anyway, it would
make the feeling between the two
teams just about three times as
tense as usual. And what a crowd
for Messrs, Rosson, Stoddard, and
Schomp to rub their collective
hands over. Oh my, oh my!
* * *
An ordinary Webfoot-Beaver
hoop battle is packed full of more
than the usual thrills, but it posi
tively would be too tough on the
crowd to sit through such a battle
an that would be without dying in
droves of appoplexy and other
high pressure ills.
* * *
If such a game did happen to
develop, it would probably be wise
for the management to hire a cou
ple of new referees—men who live
so far away that they’ve never
heard of either Oregon or Oregon
State. (Even then they’d proba
bly lie mobbed by the losing
bunch). Speaking of referees the
gamp in Corvallis Saturday night
was fairly well handled. There
were plenty of mistakes made by
both Leeding and Mitchell, but
they were made against both teams
and didn’t affect the outcome of
the game very much either way.
* -l- *
Reinhart’s sophomore combina
tion certainly clicked Saturday
night for a while, too. The work
of Lewis and Rourke was out
standing, w'hile Sammy Liebowitz
put on a show that even got a few
cheers from the partisan Beaver
rooters. The only mistake that
Sam made was in losing his tem
per once or twice in an obvious
fashion. Maybe he had good rea
son to get sore, but if he had con
trolled himself he would have got
ten on better all ’round.

Independents Put Seven j
Men in Semi-Finals;
Freemen Enter
Bjork, Mountain, Brooke
Create Thrills
The independent Yeomen once
more figured in the spotlight on
the intramural stage yesterday
after winning three matches and
losing none in the first round of the
annual wrestling slate. As a result
of the grappling success, the in- j
dependent organization will send a
total of seven mne into the semi
finals today.
In four matches the Kappa Sigs |
split, winning two and losing two,
and with their winners and two
additional men will enter four men
in the semi-finals.
The Oregon Freemen, the Phi
Delts, the Sigma Nus, and the Phi
Sigs also partook in the victories,
annexing two each.
S.P.E.’s, Betas Falter
The Betas, who have long topped
the all-year race,and the S.P.E.’s,
who presently hold the honor,
dropped way below the “Y” ath
letes in wrestling. The Millracers
as a result of two defeats and no
victories have no semi-final en
trants, while the Hilyard street
house sends only one man, Del
Bjork, into the second round.
Tom Mountain, Yeomen 155
pound man expert, provided the
most entertaining tussle of the af
ternoon, throwing Dave Crosse, the
Fiji groa.ner, for one fall and the
match in two minutes and 16
seconds.
Brooke Victor
In another scorching fracas Don
Brooke, tough Phi Psi light-weight,
bested Don Peglow, dark-haired
and speedy Phi Delt, with a six
minute decision.
Joe Renner, Kappa Sig perform
er, pinned Louis Hillis, Phi Delta
Theta matman, for one fall after
two minutes and a half of struggl
ing in the 165-pound division.
Two Tarzanous heavies, Del
Bjork and Leif Jacobsen, put on a
show for the gallery, but Bjork,
the S.P.E. gridder, slammed the
big freshman because of greater
experience.
Other results follow:
Francis Beck, Oregon Freemen,
downed John McCullock, Sigma
Nu, in 4 minutes, 30 seconds, 135
pounds.
Noel Benson, Phi Delta Theta,
pinned Davis of the Freemen in 4
minutes, 10 seconds, 155 pounds.
Hawkins, Sigma Nu, clamped
Lincoln Devereux, Beta Theta Pi,
in just 50 seconds, 145 pounds.
Charles Sutherland, Phi Sigma
Kappa, won on forfeit from Bob
Wagner, Kappa Sigma, 145 pounds.
Frank Drew, Omega hall, de
feated Harry Campbell, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, in 4 minutes even, 145
pounds.
Leland Terry, Oregon Freemen,
felled Daniel Jordan, Phi Sigma
Kappa, in 2 minutes, 20 seconds,
155 pounds.
“Wild” Wood, Phi Sigma Kappa,
beat Frank Levings, Sigma Chi,
in 55 seconds, 155 pounds.
Elton Owen, Yeomen, received a
win on forfeiture from Clark of
the Freemen, 165 pounds.
Gerry Donnell, Kappa Sigma,
won from Denny Breaid, Phi Delta
Theta, on forfeit, heavyweight.
Ed Elfving, Sigma Nu, scored a
win over Chan Berry, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, on forfeit, heavyweight.
Earl Groninger, Phi Delta Theta,
stopped Clarence Codding, Beta
Theta Pi, in 3 minutes, 11 seconds,
heavyweight.
Harold McDowell, Yeomen, de
feated Noel Benson, Phi Delta
Theta, in 2 minutes, 4 seconds, 155
pounds.
The refereeing was performed
by Earl E. Boushey, the supervisor
of all intramural athletics.
At 4 o’clock today the semi
finals will be staged in six minute
matches, and tomorrow will see j
the title bouts staged in eight j
minute frays.
The organization which wins the
tournament will annex 100 points,
for addition to their all-year total. :

:he meeting, but seemingly took
malicious delight in breaking
across the top of your paper the
"act that only 20 attended.
As a former student of the school
if journalism, I am dismayed and
iisgusted at the news and editorial
iractices to which one of its mem
bers has descended. Not only was
the Saturday story replete with
distortion and misrepresentation,
out it was characterized by out
right falsehood of the most malic
ous type. The particulars of these
falsehoods you are well aware of.
Dick Neuberger was editor of
the Emerald two years ago. He
was mixed up in more fights and
orusades than you ever dreamed
of; yet no one ever accused him of
descending to lies and half-truths.
1 regret the same cannot be said
of the present editor.
Stephen B. Kahn.
Hearst Practises
Editor, the Emerald:
I was one of those present at Fri
day night's meeting to discuss the
optional fee situation. I read your
account of the meeting in Satur
day's Emerald. It was a deliberate
and malicious distortion of fact,
ond false and vicious in the state
ments it attributed to Dick Neu
berger. You apparently resorted
to what I have heard is a common
practice of the Hearst papers—us
ing disjointed excerpts from some
one’s speech, the meaning of which
would be entirely changed by tell
ing what actually was said. Evi
dently some Hearst practices were
absorbed when the editor took his
trip at Mr. Hearst’s expense last
month.
Ever since Dick Neuberger first
started his fight for the needy stu
dents on the campus, few despica
ble methods have been barred in
the attempts to persecute him. The
student corporation people, whom
you apparently represent when you
edit their publication, have not had
the courage and intelligence to
fight Neuberger and his followers
with facts, as honorable men. The
distortions and falsehoods in Sat
u day’s Emerald were the most ma
licious of this type I yet have seen.
As one of the speakers at the
meeting, and an advocate of op
tional ASL'O membership, I charge
the Emerald with deliberately at
tempting to cloud the issues by
minting falsehoods about our meet
ing.
Why does not the Emerald spon
sor an open meeting, with three or
four speakers from each side pre

from Mrs. Dudley a boiler in which
to heat water for dish-washing.
They thoughtlessly removed the
lids from the stove and rested the
boiler over the fiomes, returning it
to Mrs. Dudley all blackened and
smutted, greatly to Mother Dud
ley's grief.
That first Commencement of
1S78, gallant boys carried Nancy
Dudley in their arms up those
steep stairs of Deady Hall to at
tend the exercises, her first and
only Commencent in Oregon, for
the following August she suc
cumbed to the physical pain she
had endured to her 58th year.
Frederick Dudley was almost 70
years old when the local Executive
Committee of the Regents named
him janitor, to officiate at the Uni
versity's opening sessions. We Fac
ulty folk in our youth used to
think it an irksome task to stoke
those stoves in old Deady, but im
agine this white beard of three
score and ten toiling up twice
three tortuous stairways to fill
the great wood-boxes.
But it is reported that not an un
kind, peevish word ever was heard
on his lips. Instead the Alumni in
variably speak of his gentleness
and courtesy, how, for instance, he
hunted up grocery boxes and fruit
jar crates with which to fit up that
bleak study room while as yet it
owned by one bench.
A year before his age forced him
to retire, the Regents presented
him with “a good silver watch.”
But who shall ever estimate how
very much that cheery disposition
ct this, Oregon's first janitor, may
have contributed to the success of
the University's first hard road to
travel.

Yeomen Smoker
Heads to Seleet
Bradshaw’s Foe
Caldwell, Capulo, Colik
Possible Entrants
Last week the committee in
charge of the Yeomen smoker was
in a dilemma trying to find an op
ponent to swap punches in the main
event with Joe Bradshaw, law stu
dent, and this week the commit
tee is trying to determine just
what man to use against him from
a list of five of the Pacific coast’s
leading simon-pures who have ex
pressed their willingness to slug
it out with the Eugene fighter.
Larry Caputo, hard hitting Port
land light-heavyweight, and con
tender in the 1932 Olympic games,
seems very anxious to get the
choice. Wilmer Tucker, northwest
middlweight champion, who fought
Bradshaw here last October stated
he would appreciate this opportun
ity for a rematch. Kenny Robert
son, slim Oregon City boxer who is
credited with a win over Bill Spid
ers, Seattle's Pacific coast, welter
weight champion, claims he has
been looking forward to a battle
with Joe for the past year.
Two other scrappers, Frankie
Caldwell, 1932 Pacific coast mid
dleweight champion, and who two
years ago punched out a close vic
tory over the University barrister
and Eddie Golik, well known Mult
nomah club fisticuffer and present
undisputed middleweight champion
of the coast, have also accepted
the offer to fill in the main event.
It behooves the Yeomen smoker
committee of Virgil Esteb, Tom
Mountain, and Fred Gieseke to pick
an ace from the pack. One of the
members suggested yesterday that
as a real feature Bradshaw ought
to take on these boys one for each
round, but the suggestion was
promptly overruled by the local
fighter.
The semi-windup will be filled to
the top with plenty of fast action,
a two boys v/ho have previously
fought two draws are going in to
decide once and forever who is the
better man. They are Dayton Stod
dard, all - campus welterweight
champion, and Malcom Hansen,
Deerhorn Athletic club ace and
i Lane county welterweight titlist.
These men met in the Yeomen
smoker last November, and fans
who recall the battle will realize
what fine ealiber of entertainment
is In store for them.

Featured by Jim Hurd’s unof
ficial record breaking performance
in the 100-yard free style and Bob
Chilton's graceful diving. Coach
Mike Hoyman put his mermen
through an inter-squad workout
Saturday in Gerlinger pool.
Hurd, a transfer, will not be eli
gible for varsity competition this
year, but Hoyman states that he
has been working with him for the
past four months and will bring
him to a peak for the Pacific
Northwest A. A. U. meet to be
held in May. Hoyman expects Hurd
to give Jack Medica, Washington
Athletic Club star and well-known
in swimming circles, the battle of
his aquatic career.
Bob Chilton had a clear-cut
margin of more than 41 points over
his closest competitor in the fancy
diving event. He attempted many
difficult dives in his optional at
temps, as well as doing those re
quired with fine form. Bert Myers,
Bob Cathey, and Dick Sleeter, all
freshmen, also turned in creditable
performances.
Robert Dean, Wally Hug, and
Jim Hurd took the 300-yard med
ley relay in 3:27.2. Johnny Halver
son, freshman candidate, turned in
a fine performance in the 440-yard
free style to win in the fast time
of 5:36 flat.
Complete results for the entire
meet follow:
100-yard free style—Hurd, first;
Hoffman, second; Scroggins, third.

Good Races
Another Meet Is Scheduled
For This Weekend
Saturday afternoon on Hayward
field the third inter-squad track
meet of the year was run off with
several fast times being recorded.
A light rain hampered proceedings
to some extent, but cleared before
the last two races were run. An
other meet will be held this Satur
day, with jumpers and pole vault
ers seeing action for the first time.
The first of three sparkling per
formances came when Bud Shoe
make, northwest sprint champ,
turned in a 0:14.8 150-yard dash.
This is exceptionally fast for this
early in the season and augurs well
for the future. The second fast
time was turned in by George
Scharpf in the 660, which he nego
tiated in 1:23.4. The best previous
time for the season was turned in
by him last week in 1:26.3. Percy
Freeman got a fast start in the
220-yard dash, managed to keep
Eihead of Schultz for 150 yards, and
finished going away in the good
time of 0:22.9 seconds. All these
races were for varsity track men.
Frosh and intramural runners
turned in fair but not startling
performances in their events.
Wagner Wins Half-Mile
In the 880-yard run the scheduled
feature race between Sam Mc
Gaughey pulled a muscle in his leg
while trying out Friday. Wagner
easily won the event in 2 min., 4.2
seconds. The 70-yard high hurdle
test was won by Newlands, with
Parsons and Goodfellow following
him in that order. The time was
9.6 seconds.
