CHARLES PADDOCK, Sports Editor .* n -> WEN'DELL tVVATT, Sports Editor This Issue Outlook Gloomy For Duck Cinder Squad Cancellation of Washington State Meet Announced Possibility of Only Two Big Meets Faces Bill Hayw'arcl’s Trackmen This Spring By TOM McCALL A downcast yet determined group of University of Oregon track men met Thursday jn Mc Arthur court to discuss the im minent danger of oblivion that threatens the potentially powerful 1936 Webfoot cinder squad be cause of the recent cancellation of the Washington State-Oregon dual meet. With the Cougar opposition stricken from their schedule, and the uncertainty of Oregon State’s having a track team, there is a possibility that Oregon will have but one meet before the 1936 coast intercollegiates, May 29 and 30. Points Towards Olympics "It’s an Olympic year that Bill Hayward has been preparing for and pointing to since 1933,” *Arne Lindgren, Northwest broad jump champion said. “There are men out there who will stand a good chance of reaching Germany.” Another Northwest champion, Bud Shoemake, added, “There is no use working out because a track man can't get into shape unless he has a good bit of strenuous compe tition. We have dual meets with Oregon State and Washington scheduled, but it doesn’t look as if Oregon State is even going to en ter a team this year.” “One meet doesn’t go far toward getting in shape for the coast championship meet, let alone the Olympics,” said Oregon’s diminu tive quarter miler, Howard Patter son. Eindgren Speaks Again Lindgren spoke again, “Of course not. And on top of that we are under obligation to bring the Washington State team down here this year.” He went on to explain the situation, “Two years ago we scheduled Washington State on a home and home basis. That year we went to Pullman. In 1935 we were supposed to put up the money to bring the Cougars to Eugene, but because we were financially unable Washington State came across again and took us to Pull man. Now for the second time its our turn and the meet is cancelled.’’ The tenor of the conversation changed to one of grim determina tion as the team talked of plans that they thought might produce the $550 which would make possi ble the Cougar invasion. Rather than let down their beloved coach, Bill Hayward, every man there said that he would be willing to go out and sell tickets to insure the meet. Failing that, it was suggested that the smaller colleges of the state be asked to choose an all-star team to meet Oregon. Rosson Has Plan Graduate Manager Hugh Rosson formulated a plan similar to the ‘all-star" idea when it was found necessary to cancel the WSC meet. Rosson said he was trying to con sumate the scheduling of an AAU meet to replace the Cougar meet in Eugene. Entrants in the meet would be drawn from the high schools and college’s of Oregon under the Rosson plan.

Young Lawyers Plan Hoop Game “Anywhere, anytime,” were the words of the second-year law stu dents as they boldly challenged the third-year barmen (seniors to them) to a basketball game. Acceptance of the challenge came back clear and clarion. “Any place, any time you say!” No date or time has yet been set, nor have players been chosen for either squad. But that it'll be a battle worth seeing is the unani mous opinion of the law school’s corridor gossip sharks. Reserve Officers’ Dance Is Tonight The Organized Reserve officers of Lane county will give a formal dance at 9 tonight in the Osburn hotel. Among those invited are Gover nor and Mrs. Charles Martin, May or and Mrs. Elisha Large, Major General U. G. MacAlexander, Brig adier General James K. Parsons, Brigadier General Thomas E.

It was played at both band concerts last year and was well liked by the audience. For special practice the band has been divided into two groups.

Vincent (a*>ove), Philadelphia real estate operator, seeks to restrain President Roosevelt, Chester Davis and Henry Morgenthau from end ing the AAA, contending that the final decision on the validity of the law rests with the electorate, not the supreme court. It is believed to Ik- the first suit of its kind naming the president a defendant. Rook-Frosh Battle Set For Today Ducklings Favored to Win Last of Annual Four-Game Series Oregon’s high scoring freshman basketball team will meet the Ore gon State Rooks at Corvallis this afternoon in the final “little civil war’’ game of the 1936 season. The contest is scheduled for 2:30. The frosh, who have won 18 of 19 starts to date, are favorites to take the Rooks into camp once more, but it’s an old tradition that any thing in the book can happen when yearling outfits tangle and any thing may today. Heller to Start John Warren plans to start Leonard Heller and Wally Johan sen at forwards, Laddie Gale at center, and Bobby Anet and Rod Hansen at guards. Heller is new in the starting lineup. His high point collecting average and greatly im proved play in recent games has given him the starting call. Hansen holds the nod over Hank Nilsen, who has suffered from a cold the past week. Gale, Johansen, and Anet have been regulars all season. Fred Hill and Merle Taylor, Rook coaches, will probably start j Ali Sandoz and Fred Soller at for wards; Bob Rissman at center; and Phil Fogle and George Kuvallis at guards. Frosh Lead in Series The frosh hold a two-to-one edge in games with the Rooks to date. The Beaver babes nosed out the Ducklings in an overtime period, 37 to 35, at Corvallis in the first meeting, but the charges of Honest John Warren came back for 32-to 21 and 37-to-27 victories here. After today the frosh have only one more contest on their slate, that with Salem high here next Tuesday. The players will continue to turn out after that, however, in order to provide the varsity with scrimmage opposition. 3 Jewett Contest Winners Chosen Three pairs of winners have been chosen in the preliminary Jewett radio hearings and will take part in the final contest to be held Wed nesday evening, Febraury 26, at 7:30. As the preliminaries were too long to be completed Thursday af ternoon, they will run over to Tues day and three or four more win ners will be selected, anounced John L. Casteel, speech director. Those already chosen for the final contest are Walter Eschebeck and Avery Combs speaking on “The Next President of the United States”; Paul Plank and Zane Kemler on “The Matanuska Exper iment”; and Howard Kessler and Minoru Y a s u e on “American Japanese Relations.” Dr. Beck to Show Film to Normal Dr. Lester Beck will be in Ash land Monday and Tuesday to show his film "Life Begins” to students of Southern Oregon normal school and for the townspeople of Ash land. The Ashland PTA is sponsor ing the show for townspeople. Friday Dr. Beck will show psy chology pictures to Dr. C. L. Huf faker's class in educational psy chology.

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HAILS • ADMIRAL REINHART EX-OREGON MENTOR’S SQUAD LOSES ONLY ^ ONE OF 14 GAMES • By TOM McCALL The Students, instructors, and athletic staff of George Washing ton university at Washington, D. C., are all sold on their new bas ketball coach, “Admiral” Bill Rein hart, late of the Webfoot camp. And well they should be! “Ad miral Bill” Is flooring one of the most powerful college quintets that now functions within the boundar ies of the United States. Coming up against the best in the East and Middle West, 'the lads from George Washington have conquered in 13 out of the 14 games they have played this season. The only de feat handed to Reinhart's proteges' was encountered in the first game of the season against Ohio State. That narrowly lost contest was more than compensated for when George Washington cnme back a couple of weeks ago and dropped the Buckeye Staters by a 25-point margin. What is it that Reinhart’s quin tet has that gives it the winning number and causes it to bq hailed by Washington newspapermen as the “greatest ever'’ at their local university ? That question could be answered by one word—DEFENSE. The eastern style of play calls for a wild breaking charge for the op ponents’ basket with no stress at all being laid on the protection of either hoop. Great scores are run up in this manner, and the specta tors derive pleasure from the wild scoring drives. > • Coach Reinhart introduced a bit of his* man. to mai\, defense to the play of his"'team (not enough to detract from its crowd pleasing propensities, however,’and it has stormed every eastern basketball citadel to roll up 13 straight wins by huge margins. * * # "Admiral Bill’’ says that the players on his squad are not excep tional in size. All are about the height of Oregon’s Sammy Liebow itz. Reinhart compares them to the Bronx Bomber, 1935 edition, in their floor play and shooting also.

DUU a ■ 15 cents GOSSER’S Two Blocks Down Thirteenth Kampus Krier By HOWARD OVERBACK It appears that the old economic law of diminishing returns runs true even in the field of sports. Take the case of Hobson's basket ball grenadiers. Hobson has more stars than he knows what to do with and with the adding of anoth er the net returns are less than before. Seems funny but it works out. » # * The dumbest crack of the new year. Recently Dean Allen of the Journalism school received a letter from a former student, in which the chap told about his success in the writing field and explained his reason for dropping a line because he wanted to inspire up and coming journalists- that the field was open to good writers. It seems that recently this chap had sold an article to National Geographic for $300, and he en closed in his letter a photostatic copy of the check. Doan Allen posted the letter and the check .on the bulletin board as he is prone to do when receiving letters from graduates. A sweet little freshman girl noticed the check on the board and exclaimed, “Why doesn't the fool come and cash it?’’ You'll learn, little girl, you’ll learn. That’s what college js for. v * * Bing Crosby’s new picture “Any thing Goes” which opens at the McDonald today gives0 Bing a chance to recoup his lost popular ity. Mrs. Crosby’s little son Bing has lost considerable following due to his recent pictures in which he has been miscast. It appears that the producers had been trying to save money on the last few, but they more than make up for it on this one. * * r v Frank Buck's latest action pic ture, “Fang and Claw” which will be shown at the Heilig Sunday, will be a real treat for those who are growing tired of the ultra-sophisti cated films that have predominated of late. According to advance reports, “Fang and Claw” contains thrills from start to finish and the best part of the w-hole thing is that the Heilig is offering another bill to top off the program, thus making well rounded entertainment.
