UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1936 Boxers! The all-campus boxing program starts this week with registration and weighing in. It is not intramural, but is open to all student leather-pushers. Line forms upstairs in the men’s gym, just outside the office door. Sendoff! . At noon today those mighty, masterful hoopers coached by Howard Hobson will entrain to raid the lair of the snarling Washington Husky. With a clear record, the Oregon squad rides northward, confident of victories over the Edmundson team. Ducks Leave At Noon for Seattle Games Oregon Hoopmen, 13 Strong, Trek North To Meet Washington; Teams Tied at Top Thirteen University of Oregon basketball grenadiers will leave on the noon train today for Seattle and a crucial two-game series with Washington’s Huskies. Players making the trip with Coach Howard Hobson include Ward Howell, Sam Liebowitz, Chuck Patterson, Willie Jones, Bill Courtney, Chief McLean, Rollie Rourke, Johnny Lewis, Budd Jones, Dave Silver, Ray Jewell, Ken Purdy, and Wayne Scott. Big Crowds Expected Games will be played in the University of Washington pavilion on Friday and Saturday nights. The Husky court has the largest seating capacity of any in the northern division and indications are that it will be sold out for both tilts. Of the last 12 games Oregon and Washington have played, the proteges of Hec Edmundson have won 10. Last year it was three out of four for the Huskies, the winter before four straight, and in 1933 Washington captured three in four. Teams Tied at Top All of which means that Hobson and his crew will be fighting tre mendous traditional odds in their struggles on the Seattle floor. Both teams play a fast-breaking, driv ing, colorful style of ball, and the winner each night is likely to be the quintet which happens to be “on.” The Webfoots and Huskies are tied at the top of the division standings with spotless records. A split in the series would give Ore gon undisputed possession of the number one spot, for the nonce, as the Ducks hold at present one more victory than the Huskies. Like the Oregon Goliaths, Wash ington’s basketeers are specialists in high scores. After polishing Washington State off in two con secutive contests, the perennial title contenders enjoyed a rest from conference competition last week. They had time, however, to run up 132 points over the College of Puget Sound in a pair of prac tice engagements. In the first game with the Tacoma school the Huskies rang the bell at 52 and the following evening they raised the ante to 80. The Puget Sound slaughters put something of a crimp in Edmond son's moaning theory that Wash ington had no reserves, for it was the second stringers who piled up the big counts on the Loggers. Pal Rosenburg, sub forward, scintil lated more than the rest and posted 17 points in the Saturday night walk-away alone. Edmondson's first five is hard for any team to beat. Composed of Chuck Wagner and Ed Loverich at forwards; Ralph Bishop at center, and Bob Egge and Bob McKinstry at the guards, the Husky quint is a sweet looking outfit. Wagner, all-coast prospect, is toted as an adequate replacement for Bobby Galer, who for two sea sons led all northern division point collectors. Hobson has plans of halting the down-court drives of Wagner and his mates, however. "Hobbie" has not decided as yet whether to start Bill Courtney or Rollie Rourke in the guard position with Willie Jones. Ducks Hold Last Drill Despite the mountainous size of Oregon’s players, the lads are not rough customers, as many have been led to believe. In three games only 28 fouls have been called on the Webfoots while 53 have been plastered on opponents. The Ducks scrimmaged with the freshmen yesterday in their final drill before the big battles.

Little Civil War Resumes Friday Ducklings Roaily for Oregon Stale Rooks The first little "Civil War” of 1936 will take place at Corvallis tomorrow night when "Honest John” Warren's high-scoring fresh man quintet lines up against the OSC Rooks. The Lemon and Green five, paced by Laddie Gale, Wally Johansen, Dee Phelps, Bob Anet, Gale Smith, Leonard Heller, and Gale Fouts, has not yet tasted defeat. Victories have been pounded out over Riggs’ All-Stars, Franklin high, Salem high, Wendling's town team, Rose burg high, and Fall Creek CCC. | The Beaver Babes have lost only one game to date, and that was avenged in a second contest. Sa lem high is the only common op ponent of the two teams. The Rooks won 36 to 22, and the Frosh, 46 to 26. The Orange five is composed of Ali and Fred Sandoz, both of Cor vallis, at forwards; Bob Rissman, Astoria, center; George Kuvallis. Benson Tech, and Jay Mercer, Jef ferson high, at guards. The two teams will meet at Mc Arthur court Saturday night. Subject Chosen For Law Contest New Deal Legislation Seleeted for Discussion Constitutionality of one or more pieces of New Deal legislation has been selected by the law school faculty as the subject for the Hil ton prize contest, Prof. Orlando J. Hollis announced yesterday. The contest offers a $50 and a $25 prize. It is open to any stu dent enrolled in the law school. Students entering the contest are asked to submit a manuscript designed to form the basis of their .15-minute oral discussion. Four or five will be chosen as final con testants. Their oral arguments will be judged by three persons chosen from members of the bench and the bar throughout Oregon. Frank II. Hilton Is Sponsor The Hilton prize contest, which has been held annually since 1922, is sponsored by Frank H. Hilton, Portland attorney, who is the donor of the first prize. The second award is made possible through trust fluids of the University. Arguing the matter of one of the recommendations contained in the report of the governor’s commit tee on the improvement of the rules of jurisprudence, Ralph Baily won first place last year, with John Pennington taking second. The final contest will be held near the beginning of spring term. The deadline for entering the con test has not yet been announced. New Brutal Shelf Does Big Business The new duplicate copy rental shelf is picking up business every day. This shelf is maintained on the third floor of the library for use by students that find it diffi cult to get regular reserve books returned on time. There are books on history and English literature to be found there now and as soon as possible, books on journalism will be added. Any student that has any par ticular book that he would like to have on the shelf is asked to leave the title and topic of the book at the desk. Texts from this division of the library are rented at the rate of 5 cents a week or 3 cents for a fraction of a week. Send the Emerald to your friends. A STANFORD, SOUTHERN CAL MEET THIS WEEKEND FOR LEADERSHIP OF LEAGUE INDIANS HAVE REAL ACE IN PERSON OF HIGH-MAN OF-THEIR-LOOP LUISETTI Ey TOM McCALL Quacks The present situation in that part of the Pacific coast basketball league which is cornered within the boundaries of the state of sun shine and fruits is one of extreme interest to the dwellers of the Northwest. In a couple of months their basketball representatives will neet the champs of the northlands for the Pacific coast title. Perhaps, ;hen, it would be well for the veteran columnist to supplant the dearth )f information concerning the goings on down there with a fund of profound observations on the race as it is today. At 8:20 p. m. yesterday the standings of the teams of the southern division of the Pacific coast conference were as follows: Points Points Won Lost For Against use . 3 0 124 87 Stanford . 2 1 122 112 UCLA . 1 2 110 119 California . 0 3 89 127 * * * While Oregon and Washington battle it out for the league leader ship in Seattle, next Friday and Saturday, the top riding Trojans will be attempting to subdue John Bunn’s Indians, in Palo Alto. The SC Stanford series will bring together the two leading scorers of the southern division, Hank Luisetti of the Cards and Jack Hupp who sports the colors of Troy. Luisetti has potted 22 field goals and five free throws for a total of 49 points in three games. He is closely Pegged by Hupp who has run up 43 points by converting seven foul shots and 18 field goals. * * * This lad Luisetti seems to bring good luck to every quintet on vhich he plays. Eight of the 10 teams of which he has been a member lave won championships in one league or another. One title match was ost by a last second field basket by the opposition. Last year, as an Indian papoose, Luisetti starred in every one of the freshmen’s 18 games. He averaged 17 points a contest. In nine pre-conference games this season he has hammered the hemp for an iverage of 14 points. Besides his offensive play Luisetti is outstanding is a guard. Little wonder then, that this Stanford wizard is the man vho is expected to flash Stanford to its first southern division ,'hampionship, and that he has been labelled by California scribes, “the sest basketball player in western inter-collegiate circles.” * * * If fhe Stanford giants want to cut any ice against the Trojans, they’re going to have to use their great height, fast break, and ability to follow their shots, to the utmost. Last week the Cards were tumbled because they failed to take advantage of those things, and because of the Uelans’ puzzling, slow breaking game. Southern California owes its leadership to the tardy breaking type of play, whieli Stanford had better be in a position to solve by this weekend for obvious reasons. The road weary California Bears have dropped 11 of the 13 games 3layed this season, and it looks as if they are headed for a couple nore defeats when they meet the Uelans at Los Angeles Friday and Saturday. The prospects, when one considers the trip south and the fact that Nibs Price's lads are meeting the pepped up Bruins away from Berkeley, are definitely disheartening for the tail end Californians. Oregon Code Set Offered as Prize Books Donated by Slate Representative Mrs. Nancy Honeyman, a mem ber of the state house of represen tatives from Multnomah county, has donated a complete set of the Oregon code, annotated, to be awarded to the member of the second-year law school class who has the highest cumulative grade point average for his two year record, according to Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school. The set which consists of five volumes has been valued at $50. In commenting upon the gift Dean Morse said: "Members of the law school faculty appreciate very much this appropriate prize presented to the school by Mrs. Honeyman. It is a fine addition to the group of prizes ?iven in the law school for high scholarship and outstanding work. "Other valued prizes are the Frank Hilton $50 prize for oral argument, and the Bancroft-Whit :tey book prize valued at $00 given :o the member of the senior class ,vho graduates with the highest uimulative grade point average. It s hoped that before the year is iver a permanent annual prize will ie established for the freshman ’lass." \lplia Kappa I’si Conducts Research Alpha Kappa Psi, business pro 'essional fraternity, held a meet ng last night in which they pro mised to conduct a research under he leadership of Dr. N. H. Cornish, irofessor in the University busi less administration school, on the mbject "Why People Living in Springfield Trade in Eugene." The Springfield members only will con luct the research. The program for the meeting ■onsisted of an informal discussion ed by Mr. Hitchens, credit mana ger of McMorran & Washburne's, >n credit conditions in Lane Ex-Journalism Students Find Jobs Many Working, Writes Caswell, UP Manager In a letter to Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, Don ald F. Caswell, class of '34, tells of the success of Oregon graduates and ex-students of the school of journalism, in securing paying news jobs. Since December 23, Caswell has been manager of the new United Press bureau at Spokane, Wash ington. This bureau serves the Spokane Press with its daywire and provides KFPY with day and night newscasts. In addition, it has 19 string correspondents covering eastern Washington and the Idaho panhandle. The beat covers 40,000 square miles. Caswell writes: “Four out of five northwest bureau managers are still shuddering at the thought of editing theses: Bill Duniway at Salem. Art Schoeni at Olympia, Jim Sheehy at Seattle, and me in Spokane. In addition to the bureau managers, there are Newton Stearns, who took my job as as sistant in Salem: Herb Lundy, Portland night manager; and Bill Brown (that's what they call Wil fred now), night manager in Seattle.” Besides these, Caswell listed two graduates in Spokane in news jobs: Paul Ewing, on the Chronicle and Caroline Rogers, society for the Press. Frances Johnston Accepts Position Frances Johnston, resident of Eugene and a graduate of the University, has accepted a posi tion as certification clerk in the office of C. A. Howard, state su perintendent of public instruction. Miss Johnston was graduated in 1934 and has since worked in the registrar's office as assistant ex aminer. While in school she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Cougars Beat Oregon State By One Point W.S.C. Shows Big Advantage in First Half; Beaver Rally Fails to Turn Tables Oregon State’s champion Bea vers again drank the bitter dregs of defeat last night when the low ly Washington State Cougars rose up and smote them in another of those one-point-margin thrillers, 32-31. At half-time the Cougars were breezing along on a 23-10 lead, gunning for the victory that shoved the Corvallis team down among the second raters in the northern division. But the un daunted Beavers came back with a scoring push that finally brought them the lead, 26-25. Not for long, though, as Holstine uncorked a lay-in to put WSC back in the lead. Corky Carlson soon followed suit, and the Cou gars led, 29-26. Conkling was ruled out of the game on fouls as the game went into the last 10 minutes. The inspired Beavers, principally Kidder and Folen, dug up a gift toss and a field goal to tie every thing up at 29-all. Six minutes were left. The northerners lost their fleet forward, Swede Nelson, on fouls, but a foul shot by Nelson and another field goal by Corky Carl son put the game on ice. Tuttle’s howitzer made the score 32-31. but the Beavers were shooting misses as the gun ended festivities. Summary: OSC (31) (32) WSC Palmberg, 6 .F. 11, Holstine Tuttle, 8 .F... 5, S.

It was Miss Will’s first ap pearance on California courts for some time, so she drew a tremen dous gallery, and we had all the ceremony of a Wimbleton match. “We had new balls every six games, ball-boys, and all the other paraphernalia. I won one game. All the societies and plutocrats of Berkeley were present. Prices were as high as $100 a box. Not interested in talking about herself. Miss Nicholas suggested, "Maybe you'd like to hear about Wayne Sabin. He’s a Portland boy, and will probably be on the Davis cup team soon. He has all it takes for a champion. Right now he's touring the Philippines and Japan. “After I was graduated from high school, I went south and Wayne and I played doubles with Ellsworth Vines and Helen Marlow, runner-up for national girls’ cham pionship that year. They beat us 6-3, 6-4.” Muriel went to Reed college for two and one-half years. Her soph omore year there she walked away with the state of Oregon women’s championship. Her opinion of amateur tennis is that it is a big graft and a racket, that it is a disgrace to amateur sports. “Amateur tennis players are the pet dogs of the idle rich,” she says. “They get paid by being sent $250 for train fare which costs $50, by being entertained by the social elite. I know it's true, be cause I’ve had it happen to me. She scorns amateurs living in this fasion and says they should go professional and earn their money rightfully.

Profs’ Article To Be Printed Heavy Water Studied By Norris, Holmquist An article entitled “An Infra red Absorption Band of Heavy Water Vapor,” by Dr. W. V. Norris and Dr. R. E. Holmquist of the University of Oregon, and H. J. Unger of the University of Idaho Southern Branch, is to be published in the Physical Review. Word was received today of acceptance of the article by the magazine for pub lication soon. The article was written through the combined efforts of the authors after about a year of research on this phase of heavy water discov ery. Mr. Unger of the Idaho school was formerly at the University of Oregon. The research work was done while he was here and during last summer term. Research outlined in this article is original and will be used to de termine the structure of heavy water. Other scientists are ex pected to follow the article as a guide in their studies of the water. New Ideas (Continued from Page Three) cast composed entirely of blondes.

SAE Hoopers Rally To Trounce Zeta Hall TT Five, 22-16 Fijis Down Phi Sigs In ‘B’ Contest, 17-8; Yeomen ‘AV Massacre Omega Hall, 22 to 2 A final quarter scoring spree led by a pair of basket tossers known as Frank Bondurant, forward, and Eddie Hearn, guard, gave Sigma Alpha Epsilon “B” quintet a 22 to 16 win over Zeta hall in yester day’s opening intramural hoop tilt. Trailing by a 15 to 10 score at the beginning of the final period, the SAE hoopmen flipped in short shots for eight consecutive points before Zeta sank a free shot. The Sigma chief point makers, Bondurant and Hearn, registered nine points each to collect all but four of their teammates’ points. Socring honors for the fray, however, were captured by Wen dell Wyatt, the roving forward for Zeta hall, who garnered 11 of the losers’ 16 points. Fijis Also Win After a brief scoring splurge in the first quarter, the Phi Sigma Kappa "B” hoopmen toppled be fore the steady scoring drive of Phi Gamma Delta’s “B” quint which secured a 17 to 8 lead when the game ended. The Phi Sigma team gained a 6 to 0 lead before Jack Campbell, at the guard post for the Delts, fired the opening gun for his mates with a two point shot. The remain der of the half witnessed a dearth of baskets with John Maeder sink ing a field goal in the second period. Maeder, the Phi Gamma for ward, was high point man of the fray with a trio of field goals to his credit. Vernon Cougill led the loser’s scorers with a pair of baskets. The Fiji hoopsters staged their main rally in the last quarter when the combined efforts of Maeder, Buchanan, Skinner and Campbell garnered nine points.
