Ducks to Polish up
For Encounter With
Idaho Next Monday
Portland Team,
Twice Defeated,
May Place Slides
Under Collegiates
The University of Oregon’s
towering basketball team, victor
ious in 10 consecutive pre-season
games, will tangle with the sharp
shooters of Union Oil at McAr
thur court tonight. Opening tip
off is set for 8 o’clock.
Tonight’s tussle is Oregon’s final
practice tuneup before the north
ern division championship race
gets under way. The Webfoots
will face the University of Idaho
here Monday and Tuesday nights
in opening conference tilts.
Oiler Crew Strong
Spectators who witness this
evening’s contest will see the third
meeting of the year between How
ard Hobson’s crew of huskies and
the all-mighty Oilers, who boast
an aggregation of ex-college lum
inaries second to none in the
Northwest. The Ducks came from
behind to edge out narrow tri
umphs in two earlier engagements,
35 to 31 and 33 to 32.
This time Verne Harrington,
Oiler coach, is planning to spill
the Webfoots and anything may
happen. The Portland outfit boasts
the cream of the crop of Northern
Division ex-greats.
Robertson to Return
Included in the Union Oil lineup
will be three of the greatest stars
in Pacific Coast conference his
tory Spook Robertson, Ralph
Cairney, and George Hibbard.
Robertson, a Webfoot regular
for three years prior to last sea
son, is generally recognized as the
number one long shot artist in
the Northwest. Cairney, who cap
tained the championship Washing
ton Huskies of two seasons ago, is
ranked with the leading stars of
the nation. Unquestionably he is
the best all-around guard in re
cent northern division annals.
Hibbard captained Oregon State’s
champions last winter and in
1933 was a leading light on the
Beaver Quintet which defeated
Southern California in the inter
division playoff and captured the
coast title.
Wagner, Inman to Play
Teamed with the incomparable
Cairney at guard for the Oilers
will be Harold Inman, former
Washington high star and now
one of independent basketball’s
best back court players. At cen
ter will be Chuck Wagner, ex-Uni
versity of Washington pivot man,
Oregon l.iiiciip Uncertain
Howard Hobson has not yet def
initely determined on his starting
Webfoot lineup. Chuck Patterson
at forward, Ward Howell at cen
ter, and Sammy Liebowitz at
guard are certain to be in there
for the whistle's opening blast, but
about the remaining two positions
“Hobbie” isn’t quite sure.
Rollie Rourke, whose play in re
cent games has been spectacular,
or Chief McLean, who has been
bothered by a bad knee, will open
at guard with Liebowitz. Either
Willard Jones or Budd Jones will
be at the other forward post.

Kenneth Clair
Plays at Lecture
The Eugene Adult Music Edu
cation Series, held in the school
of music auditorium yesterday af
ternoon at 2 was well attended.
Dr. John Landsbury, dean of
the school of music, presented the
first of two illustrated lectures on
the fugue. Kenneth Clair, pipe- or
ganist and student of music at the
University, played Fugue in G
Minor, Bach, as an example of the
fugue at its best.
Next month, Dr. Landsbury will
present another and final talk on
the fugue. Anyone interested in
attending these programs is wel
come. Date of the next lecture
will be announced later.
Ted Shawn Hits
(Continued from Page One)
Shawn stated that for many
centuries after the dance began,
which was early in the history of
the world, that nine-tenths of the
dancing was done by men. In gen
eral, where the dance has degener
ated into cheap entertainment or
tawdry amusement, it is because
women have taken it over. There
are notable exceptions to this, he
emphasized. But wherever the na
tional dance exists, wherever it
has been of vital importance in
the customs and mores of a
country, the men have conducted
it, he said. Of course, women have,
at various times taken over all the
legitimate styles of dancing, as
wel as most of the illegitimate, he
smiled.
History Traced
Mr. Shawn traced the history of
dancing through five major devel
opments. 1. The primitive dances.
These were magic dances, prayer
dances, medicine dances. He said
some of the primitive rhythms up
on which these dances were built
were more complicated than many
heard today. In many cases they
were far beyond our present com
prehension.
Rhythm, said the dancer, is not
the only basis for the dance and
music, it is the basis for life, itself.
2. Religious dances, which grew
out of the magic dances. 3. Labor
motif in the dance. 4. Play. Ath
letic and folk dancing are included
here. Ballroom dancing is a de
scendant of this form of dancing,
and a black sheep at that, he
hinted. 5. Dance as a pure art
form, the latest development just
as the symphony is the latest de
velopment of real music.
Trip to Correct 'I'llinking
Mr. Shawn said that his life
work was to try to beat down all
the “insane and crazy prejudices
against the dance” which have
grown out of twisted thinking, by
showing people forms of the dance
which are suitable and fitting and
right. He stated that he felt that
most people, even though they
came to his company’s perform
ances with their minds prejudiced,
went away feeling the dance,, if
done properly, is a noble art.
He explained that the dancers
have the first claim on the word
“orchestra" as the original mean
ing of the word was “dancing
place.”
Mr. Shawn has been giving
public performances continuously
since Ihll with the exception of
two years when he served as a
lieutenant in the infantry during
the war. The company left Thurs
day morning for Klamath Falls
They will go on south to Los
Angeles, giving performances on
the way, and then go back East
on tour.

Riordan, Carter Still
In Togs; Kicker Goes
Pro After Close of
College Grid Career
Football togs are packed away
among the mothballs and Hayward
field’s historic sod lies under a
lake of January rain, but the Uni
versity of Oregon’s greatest grid
iron pair, Ros Carter and Stan
Riordan, are keeping America’s
autumn sport alive for Webfoot
followers.
Carter, who received frequent
mention as an all-coast guard, fur
ther distinguished himself in the
annual East-West all-star game
at Kezar stadium in San Francisco
on New Year’s day. The veteran
from Lakeview started in the
West's lineup, played almost the
entire game, and was hailed by Cal
ifornia critics as one of the out
standing linemen in the game.
Carter Recovers Fumble
Carter, who captained the Web
foots in four contests last fall, was
a tower of strength in the Western
forward wall on both offense and
defense. He recovered a fumble
deep in Eastern territory early in
the second half.
Oregon’s other all-coast star,
Riordan, was not invited to repre
sent the West, but has turned pro
fessional. He was schedided to
start for the Westwood Cubs in a
game with the Los Angeles Ma
roons for the national American
Legion championship this week.
Spring Practice Next
With the exception of the activ
ities of Carter and Riordan, Web
foot football is all over until spring
practice. The team won six games
in a difficult nine-game schedule,
losing only to California, UCLA,
and St. Mary’s.
Next fall, under the new Pacific
Coast conference schedule arrange
ment, Prink Callison’s team will
play seven conference tilts, in
cluding one with Stanford’s cham
pion Indians.

Basketball and Wrestling
To Occupy Donut Athletes
Two sports, basketball and
wrestling, will occupy the atten
tion of intramural athletes during
the winter term.
Entry blanks have been sent to
each living organization on the
campus in order to facilitate easy
registration of the athletes, and
managers of each competing house
were to have returned these no
later than Wednesday, at five
o’clock. From early indications
based on the blanks returned, the
majority of the teams will be on
hand to start competition in bas
ketball when the season opens
Monday, January 13.
Also on the program during the
coming term will be wrestlting,
which usually develops wide
spread interest among the students
due to the sensational competition
among its contestants. Athletes
participating in this sport started
training for the coming season
early last term in order to be in
condition for the contests.
Intramural basketball again this
term will be comprised of an “A”
league and a “B” league. Partici
pants of the “B” league may grad
uate into “A” league if they show
enough promise but no “A” league
player may ever play in the “B”
league. This ruling has been made
in order that the teams will be
more evenly matched.

Pre-Season
Duck Record
Impressive
Hobson Quint Piles
Up 10 Consecutive
Victories in Vaeation
Oregon’s harcl-working basket
ball giants have squared off
against pre-season opposition 14
times this winter, and 12 times
they have come through with fly
ing colors.
Pre-season hoop results are
more often than not taken with a
grain of salt and rightfully should
be, but the record of the Webfoots
on their recent barnstorming tour
to San Francisco and waypoints
cannot fail to impress almost any
observer. Right now the colossal
cagers who perform for Howatd
Hobson have a winning record of
ten.
Six games were won on the Cal
ifornia trip. Three of these tri
umphs were at the expense of
Southern Oregon normal, and other
victories were won over Young
Men’s Institute of San Francisco,
Utah Aggies, and Chico State. Be
fore and after the southern jour
ney the Ducks have found time to
spill Multnomah club three times
and Union Oil twice.
In 14 games, Oregon’s basket
eeers have piled up 615 points, an
average of 43.9 per contest,
against 458, a 32.7 average, for
opponents.
