COMMENTS ON RELATIONS
BETWEEN EAST STANDS
AND HOOP OFFICIALS
WARREN SAYS MOST
FANS DON’T KNOW FOULS
WHEN THEY SEE THEM
Quacks
By TOM McCALL.
The hue and cry of a pack of great, starving timber wolves as
they sweep across the icy barrens of the northlands is as the mew
of a new born kitten when compared with the vociferations of Oregon
basketball fans when they are on the trail of a maple court referee.
Tilings are rosy if a Webfoot player tries to punt a member of the
opposing aggregation from one end of the floor to the other, and gets
awavs with it. But just let the referee cast his eye on illegal Duck
gymnastics and attempt to impose a penalty upon said home town
basketeer. Then it is that the east stands writhe, groan, mutter, sneer,
and hoot as if suffering the tortures of the damned. A tactful official
can change that tune to a roar of approbation by simply calling a foul
on the visitors.
Many is the time that a referee, or umpire can be, and is, in the
wrong. It is hardly conceivable, however, that every penalty invoked
against the Webfoots is a miscarriage of justice. Judging by the
crowd’s racaus disapproval of any decision which does not favor our
side, it is impossible for the officials to ever be in the right.
The tearing of hair and splashing of tears in the Orgeon section
nearly cost the Hobson hoopsters the Oregon State game, last Friday.
So great was the objection raised to one of Referee Heniges’ decisions
that a technical foul was called against the baying crowd.
W * 3!
* 31
Coach Warren of the frosh estimates that 90 per cent of the
average basketball crowd doesn't know what constitutes a foul. Ignor
ance of this kind was taken care of in the early days of Bill Reinhart
regime through the use of a basketball “school.” The so-called “school”
was a weekly, sometimes semi-weekly session held in the Igloo. At
these sessions Coach Reinhart, aided by members of the basketball
squad, would illustrate the finer points of the game to the general
public which was invited to attend. The players exemplified the various
infractions of the rules, via the slow motion route. All the while
Admiral Bill explained in detail just what was transpiring.
In those days the fans really knew what the game was all about.
The female part of the Oregon rooting section seems to show
evidence of a greater knowledge of the maple court procedure and of
sportsmanship than does the male. The lasses are as quick to approve
of a towering hemp swisher or a perfectly timed pass as are the lads.
Then, on the other hand, a polite girlish applause is in evidence when
an opponent leaves the game on fouls. The men-folk swipe the good
taste from the ousted ones mouth by hurling invective, big clouds of it.
Land of Goshen! It’s a truly horrible state of affairs.
State Printer
(Continued from Page One)
versity school of journalism with
held comment.
Allen stated that any announce
ment regarding the matter should
come from Dr. Hunter. Robert C.
Hall, superintendent of the campus
press, is ill in a local hospital and
could not he reached for a state
ment.
Declaring that the general find
ings of the report were made by
himself and those who made the
survey with him “with the full con
sciousness that there might arise
out of them some considerable con
troversy,” Hobbs said that “it is
our desire to state that these are
our personal views, estimates, and
conclusions, arrived at as dispas
sionately as was possible.”
Observations Listed
Five chief observations were
' listed relative to the printing
plants, as follows:
“1. Maintenance of state-owned
: plants where volume of business
annually is less than value of plant
is bad business and argument for
its continuance untenable.
“2. Tradition, local, and institu
tional pride, or even convenience,
do not stand up under the piercing
scrutiny of cold business.
“3. Maintenance of expensive
and extensive state-owned plants
as labs for campus papers is un
economical, extravagant, and un
necessary. Witness excellence and
high standing of eastern schools of
: journalism where labs have meager
: mechanical equipment.
“4. Printing material for the
University and college could be
done economically at the state
plant. At least, carload purchases
by the state plant for the Univer
sity Press and the college would
seem, to be good business.
Eastern Schools Compared
"5. The need to make the school
of journalism a real live unit of the
University and the college; enlist
practical newspapermen as lectur
ers as is done in journalism schools
elsewhere and use the newspaper
plants in metropolitan centers
when possible as laboratories.”
The plant of the University here
was valued at $43,119.92 by the
survey and its annual volume of
business was listed at $36,320. The
plant at Corvallis was valued at
$39,000, doing an annual business
of $34,000. The plant at Salem
was inventoried at $81,541, with an
average annual business of $156,
410.
Laboratories Usual
Inquiry of outstanding schools of
journalism in the east showed that
‘‘in almost all of these educational
institutions the maintenance of
laboratories seems to be the usual
thing. However, the maintenance
of an extensive—and expensive—
laboratory is not found to be of
such vital importance in univer
sities where the schools of journal
ism are particularly outstanding.
“None the less when campus
printing plants are being scrutin
ized the use of the word ‘lab’ is
frequent. It appears to cover a
multitude of sins.”
Student Journalists Indicted
In an indictment of University
and college journalists, the report
continued: “May we be pardoned
for making this general observa
tion? A school of journalism to
endure and merit support must be
wisely directed and fundamentally
sound. It should inculcate into the
minds of the students the princi
ples of American journalism. And
the student or campus paper, par
ticularly if supported by the state,
as in Oregon—should not be the
plaything and toy of youthful
crack-pots with bolsheviki tenden
cies; nor should it be the propa
gandizing vehicle for jealous and
zealous professors.”
It could not be ascertained at
Salem what action the board of
control, which comprises the same
personnel as the state printing
board, would take. Secretary Earl
Snell and State Treasurer Rufus C.
Holman stated that they have not
had time to read or study the re
port as yet. Governor Martin said
he would place it before the board
for consideration at an early
meeting.

Gamma Hall
‘B’ Five Keeps
Record Clear
Defeats Dells, 15-8;
ATO’s, Delta Upsilon,
Day’s Other Winners;
Scorers Run Down
Gamma hall’s “B” team tri
umphed over the Delta Tau Delta
“B” squad in a wild and thrilling
game of basketball. The final score
was 15-8 for the Gamma boys, but
the Delt quintet trailed closely
throughout the contest.
The Gamma hall team is made
up almost entirely of football men,
and both squads rushed up and
down the floor, showing a thor
ough knowledge of football tactics,
but very little of the fundamentals
of basketball. At the half time,
Gamma led 10-4.
Clinton, Gamma forward, the
only player that could bucket his
shots, took scoring honors with 7
points. Ballah, Delt forward,
scored 6 of his team’s 8 counters,
and was outstanding on the floor.
Mason of Gamma played a nice
floor game.
ATO Beats Chi Psis
The Alpha Tau Omega “B” quint
had considerable difficulty defeat
ing the hard fighting Chi Psi team.
The final score was 19-12 for the
ATO men. A last half drive by the
Chi Psi squad threatened to turn
defeat into victory, but the' ATO
team had too large a lead. Alpha
Tau Omega led 17-6 at the half
way period.
Miller, Chi Psi forward, collected
six points to lead the scoring.
Blackman and Stroble played an
aggressive game for the ATO
quint.
D. U. Victorious
Delta Upsilon’s “B” squad
trounced the Phi Sigma Kappas
18-5 in the other game of the day.
Score at the rest period was 7-3 for
Delta Upsilon. The Phi S i g s
played a better game than the
final score would indicate, but they
couldn’t sink their shots. The Phi
Sigs are a good bet to go places
when they smooth out their offen
sive.
Silven, Delta Upsilon center,
was high point man witn six
markers. Corman was outstanding
for the Phi Sigma Kappas.

Bud Goodin Wins Again;
Lucky Star’s Worms Turns
This is a story of a worm that
turned.
It all stared with Bud Goodin’s
desire to go fishing. No fisherman
was Bud, but he longed to try his
hand.
“Well,” said Bob Officer, assis
tant trainer, to the star half-back,
“if you don't get hurt in the Wash
ington game. I’ll take you.”
Goodin managed to get through
that game without injury, so Bob
was forced to live up to his prom
ise. Bill Hayward got wind of the
affair and with Bob decided to
have a little fun,
“Bud,” he said when the young
man came to claim his reward, "If
you want to go on any fishing trip
in Oregon you’ll have to dig
worms, lots of worms.’
Goodin wasn’t going to lose out
on the trip because of a few
worms. He spent the entire after
noon before the trip digging. When
told he stil didn’t have enough, he
dug worms the morning of the
trip.
Arriving at the spot on the Siu
slaw river where they proposed to
fish. Bob loaded lip Bud’s hook
with a big fat worm. Bud tossed
his line into the river, and at this
point the worm turned.
The salmon of the Siuslaw aren’t
supposed to take worms, but there
was one salmon who evidently
didn’t know this. He bit; and Bud,
ignoring all the rules of fishing,
and using the finesse of an off
tackle smash, jerked him out of
the water without more ado.
'fhe fish was a five pound
salmon, the prize catch of the day.
Soon afterwards Colonel Bill
tried to take Bud on another trip
on which it would be necessary
to have salmon eggs for bait. These
eggs he told Bud were to be ob
tained by wading in shallow water
and looking under flat rocks, but
Bud, unlike the salmon, would not
bite this time.
Hearst-Legion Attack Hits
American Student Union
By CHARLES PADDOCK
If one can judge by the enemies
it has made, the American Student
union must have a rather high de
gree of merit. Establishment of
the union at the Columbus unity
convention precipitated a dramatic
dress rehearsal of the enemies con
fronting the organization.
The Hearst press, American Le
gion officials, and the Ohio State
university administration joined
in a desperate attempt to throw
the convention out of the school's
YWCA building. President Right
mire ruled it off the campus after
previously having granted it per
j mission to meet. A “coal shortage’’
was blamed, but when the confer
ence offered to pay full operating
expenses Dr. Rightmire still re
mained adamant.
Called “Moscow Plot”
Sunday editions of the Hearst
press dripped with vitriol. They
carried a bitter indictment of the
Union, sensationally tracing its
origin to a “Moscow plot.” Bold
headlines declared the union was
part of a “Communist attempt” to
“murder” all its “enemies.”
Franklin county American Le
_ _
gion post attempted to halt the
convention by charging that a
speaker at the opening session of
the congress had “insulted the
American flag.’’ When a former
ROTC captain at Ohio State made
away with part of the credentials
list of the conference he was taken
up by the police, but they refused
to hear charges until the following
Monday -when all the delegates
had gone home!
Claim G-Men Present
Evidently the conference, was
well covered by Hearst writers
and a member of the Ohio State
Americaneers, at least one of
which entered on forged creden
tials. A Columbus American Le
gion official boasted that “federal
agents” were on hand scrutiniz
ing the sessions of the union.
Legion officials finally issued a
manifesto, warning that the an
nual allotment furnished the “Y”
by the community chest would be
withdrawn if the convention was
not ousted, but YWCA leaders
courageously announced that the
conference was at liberty to con
tinue in their quarters.
Student Union
(Continued front I'atjc One)
speak or act on major social is
sues; resistance to financial dom
ination of the schools by trustees
drawn from corporation and bank
ing interests; opposition to the
Hearst-Legion assaults on academ

Against ROTC
2. Peace: Endorsement of the
Oxford pledge committing the un
ion against “support of any war
which the United Stated govern
ment may undertake”; support of
an annual strike against war and
war preparations of the United
States government; carrying on a
vigorous campaign for abolition of
the ROTC.
3. Security: For passage of
comprehensive relief legislation
for students as distinct from the
inadequate National Youth Ad
ministration program.
4. Education: Sweeping exten
sion of educational facilities; for
the building of free city colleges
in large communities.
Opposes Racial Prejudices
5. Equality: Opposition to racial
discrimination in the schools and
colleges, whether in the form of
“segregated” education in the
South or social discrimination in
school activities.
George Edwards of Southern
Methodist, ex-field secretary of
the SLID, was named national
chairman of the union. Celeste
Strack will be high school secre
tary. Joseph Lash, editor of the
Student Outlook and leader of the
anti-war strike last year, is na
tional secretary. Serrill Gerber,
former NSL executive secretary,
is field secretary. James A. Wech
sler, former editor of the Colum
bia Spectator and author of “Re
volt on the Campus,” is director of
publications. Molly Yard, Swarth
more, is treasurer.
Words of congratulation and
support came from many distin
guished persons when news of the
union’s successful birth was an
nounced. Typical was that of
Charles Hendlcy, president of the
New York chapter of the Ameri
can Federation of Teachers: “The
Student union is a rallying point
for all students interested in fur
thering the cause of peace.”

The frosh came through in great
style Saturday afternoon against
the Fall Creek CCC hoopsters, and
wound up with a 69 to 32 slaugh
ter. Laddie Gale led the scorliig
parade with 23 counters and Johan
sen was next in line with 13. “Red”
McNeely, former Jefferson high

Cobufg player, led the scoring for
the Tree-cutters with 10 each.
Against Salem tonight, the frosh
will be facing the first team that
also has met the Oregon State
Rooks whom the frosh meet Fri

feated the Vikings by a 36 to 22
score. Salem holds victories over
Tillamook, Ashland, and several
others.
Coach Warren has not named
the players who will make the trip
but he announced that Fouts,

The class is called elementary
rhythmics and no previous train
ing is necessary for enrollment.
Those who are inclined to be act
ors, musicians, or artists will find
it especially enjoyable.
Because of the short time al
lotted for the class, no credit is
given. The type of dance taught is
physically more strenuous and
vigorous than is taught for women.
