‘B’ Leaguers
Invade Igloo
For Tourney
Pleasant Hill, Thurston
And Lorane Leading
Fight for Crown
The University of Oregon will
swing open the doors of massive
McArthur court this morning as
250 Lane county prep school bas
ketball players invade the pavilion
for a four-day champion-determin
ing tournament.
Thirty-two county “B" league
teams are entered, all keen for the
handsome trophies awaiting men's
and women’s champions, runners
up, consolation winners, and all
stars.
First games begin this morning
at 9 o’clock when the Thurston
boys meet Crow on one court, and
the Oakridge girls meet the Pleas
ant Hill girls on the other floor.
Two games will be run side by
side on the spaciou floor of the
Igloo until the semi-finals are
reached.
Defending champions of the past
two years, the Oakridge boys’
quintet is given only an outside
chance to cop the county title for
the third time. Pleasant Hill,
Thurston and Lorane are all gun
ning for the crown. Pleasant Hill
is probably the most favored team
in the tournament, having split its
series with Oakridge. It led the
eastern division.
Money teams in the girls' divi
sion include Mohawk, 1935 cham
pions, Oakridge, Vida, Santa Clara
and Elmira. The Mohawk lasses
are again strong, but will en
counter trouble, particularly from
Oakridge and Vida.

Summer Session
Starts June 22
Catalog to Be Out April 1;
Regular Bulletin Will
Appear in May
A preliminary catalog, contain
ing advance information of the
courses to be offered at the sum
mer session, which begins June 22
at the University, will be issued
the first of April. The regular bul
letin, with a detailed description of
courses, will be ready in early May.
Although no definite selection of
the staff and courses has yet been
made, deans and heads of depart
ments are preparing their pro
grams for the summer session.
Preliminary work was begun last
Thursday, when Alfred Powers,
dean and director of general exten
sion. visited the campus to confer
with Professor Dan E. Clark, head
of the extension division at the
University.
Seven or eight instructors from
other colieges and universities will
be asked to attend as visiting in
structors, and the remainder of the J
staff, of which there will be about
80, will be from the University of
Oregon.

Intramural Boxing
Schedule Cancelled
Until Spring Term
Intramural boxing matches
arc all washed up for this term,
donut officials said yesterday.
Matches have been postponed
indefinitely, but are expected to
be staged some time during
spring term.
Insufficient contestants
turned out to make the boxing
rounds a success, it was said.
Riflemen May Be
In National Shoot
Score of 3714 Should Put
15-Man Team in ROTC
Meet, Says Blythe
With a total of 3714 points in the
ninth corps area matches, the Uni
versity marksmen are expected by
Sgt. Harvey Blythe, ROTC instruc
tor, to be chosen as contenders in
the national ROTC championship
matches, to be held spripg term.
“I feel sure,” said Sergeant
Blythe, ‘‘that the score is good
enough that the team will be se
lected as one of those to fire for
the national championship.”
The score, of the 1935 Oregon
team, which won the national
ROTC rifle title, was only 13 points
over this year’s score, he said.
The top 15 per cent of the teams
in each corps area vie for national
championship. The winning team in
each area is awarded a prize.
In the corps area matches 15
man teams fire in four positions,
with the 10 highest total scores be
ing counted. Kenneth BeLieu was
.high man for Oregon, with a total
of 383. John Halverson and Jack
Lew were next with 373 and 371
respectively.
Exceptional performances were:
prone, Hugh McCredie and B. J.
Cross, 100; sitting, Hugh McCredie,
100, Jack Lew and B. J. Cross, 98;
kneeling, B. J. Cross, 97, Ken Be
Lieu, 95; standing, Ken BeLieu, 92.
Stanley Warren was commended
by Sergeant Blythe for his good
showing. Although having had no
previous experience, he was in fifth
place with a 367.
which begins June 15, will be held
in the Lincoln high school. Dean
Powers is in charge.
Last year, the attendance at the
summer session was 619 for the
six weeks’ term at Eugene, 764- at
Portland, and 202 for the post-ses
sion.
Although more emphasis is laid
on advanced and graduate work
during the summer session, the
courses must be such that they
meet graduation requirements, and
still offer a variety from year to
year.
Webfoots Plot
Attack on OSC
Title Aspiration
Beavers Stand Chanet
For Championship;
Ducks Ready
Oregon State is firmly en
trenched in second place in the
northern division basketball derby
and stands a slim chance of cap
turing the crown, while Oregon is
floundering around down in fourth
place. That apparenty means noth
ing at all to Howard Hobson's re
vived Webfoots, however, and they
are nightly plotting and planning
ways of knocking championship
ideas out of the high-riding Beav
ers by drubbing them at Corvallis
Friday night.
Ducks’ Stock Booms
Oregon stock boomed upward
like the 1928 Wall street market in
last Saturday’s bruising struggle
with the Beavers at the Igloo and
the Ducks are now rated as strong
opponents for any outfit. Eager
ness and confidence characterized
workouts last night and Monday
and every indication points to a
fight at Corvallis as bitter as the
28-to-26 donneybrook here. A prac
tice session will be held in the
men’s gymnasium at 10 a. in. to
day.
Coach Hobson plans to start the
same quintet that gave the Beav
ers such a battle at McArthur
court when the teams line up at
Corvallis. Sammy Liebowitz and
Dave Silver will be at forwards,
with Chuck Patterson at center,
and Budd Jones and Rollie Rourke
at guards.
Guard Spots Uncertain
There is a possibility that Ken
Purdy and Chief McLean will open
at the back-court spots in place
of Jones and Rourke. The speedy
pair performed brilliantly against
Washington State ten days ago and
showed well in the few minutes
they played in the Oregon State
game.
Ray Jewell, tallest man on the
squad, may see service Friday at
center. The dropping of Ward
Howell from the outfit because of
scholastic deficiencies has elevated
Jewell from third to second string
pivot man. He may be assigned the
difficult task of checking beanpole
Cliff Folen of the Staters during
a part of the fracas. Folen has been
a disagreeable thorn in Oregon's
side in all three games played be
tween the two arch-rivals to date.
Free Throws Stressed
Free throw shooting has been
stressed by Hobson in workouts
this week, for the Webfoots have
caged only 98 of 187 gift tosses to
date this season. The lads can hit
’em in practice, but not in actual
competition.

Is Football Over-Emphasized?
Athletes Differ on Question
I -
By HUBARD KUOKKA
Football at the expense of othei
sports ? This is a moot question
among University athletes anc
sport fans, some of whom contend
that the other sports are needlessly
allowed to suffer in the big drive
to put Oregon on the football map
The question was asked of sev
eral prominent Webfoot athletes.
Bearing in mind the financial ad
vantages involved, is it fair to em
phasize footbal to such an extent
as to detract from the pursuit of
the other sports?
Tracksters Say “No”
Says Arne Lindgren, ace broad
jumper: No! There should be a
wider range of activities for the
benefit of the students, and not
so much emphasis on football.
George Varoff, Olympic mater
ial, who pole vaults over 14 feet:
No! I don’t think we should em
phasize football, because even
minor sports, with their abundance
of good material, could bring the
name Oregon to stand among the
leaders.
Gridders Say “Yes”
Bree Cuppoleiti, all-American
second team pro: There is no need
kidding ourselves. Football is the
"king pin" of all sports, there are
more paid admissions patronizing
this sport than any other in the
country. Without it, minor sports
could not exist.
Stan Riordan, powerful punter
of the Webfoots: If the emphasis
is placed on football teams, the in
stitution will have a better team:
with a better team, more money is
taken in, and as a result, the other
sports can be adequately supported.
Bill Courtney Speaks
Bill Courtney, basketball lumin
ary: I think it is wrong to build
up football to the detriment of
other sports, but I think football
should be given preference because
of the possible benefits to the other
sports in the long run.
Several athletes, who did not
wish to be quoted, maintained that
one sport is just as important to
the athletes as another, and that
the mere fact that one pays more
than another should make no dif
ference. After all, said one, ath
letics are for the benefit of the
students and not for the purpose
of making money.
Majority Favor Football
However, the majority seemed to
have the opinion that emphasis on
football would not detract from
other sports.
Rollie Rourke, one of Hobson’s
more reliable guards: Under the
present set-up, finances assume
major importance. Football must
be emphasized to the point where
it will pay sufficient dividends and
contribute rather than detract
from the pursuit of other sports.
“Football Spells Money”
Mike Mikulak, pro all-American
first team: Football spells money.
Athletics should be put on a basis
where all money made on football
should be put right back into the
other sports, and thereby building
up your line of sports.
Jim Hurd, Pacific coast inter
collegiate record holder in the 100
yard free style swimming event:
The athletic money should be dis
tributed more evenly and support
given to the other major sports,
but football should be remembered
as the money-getter among ath
letics.
Kenyon Skinner, varsity tackle:
Football is of the most benefit to
all athletics in general. -

Husky, Duck
Swim Teams
To Meet Here
Jack Mcdica Outstanding
For Washingtonians:
Oregon Favored
Thirsting for revenge, the Uni
versity of Washington swimmer:
will invade the Oregon campus this
week to match their skill with Ore
gon's brilliant squad at 1 p. m. ir
Gerlinger pool Saturday.
Coach Jack Torney's Huskj
swimmers, led by world champior
Jack Mcdica, will be more danger
ous than ever. Still smarting from
the stinging defeat that the Duck
swimmers handed them last sea
son, the Washington mermen will
extend every effort to win ovei
Oregon.
Oregon Is Favored
Oregon is rated as the outstand
ing swim team on the Pacific coast
because of their brilliant success in
California this year, so a win
would be ever more tasty than us
ual for the Huskies.
As this will be Oregon’s last
dual meet of the season, a defeat
at the hands of Washington would
sink the Ducks' hopes of claiming
the Pacific coast championship.
Medina Outstanding
Outstanding men on the Wash
ington squad are Jack Medica
brilliant star in the 220 and 44C
yard freestyle events, Hoskins,
backstroke ace, and Caddy, speedy
breaststroke swimmer.
The Duck mermen will be led by
co-captains Jim Reed and Jim
Hurd. The same swimmers that
made the barnstorming trip intn
California will be used by Coach
Hoyman to battle the invading
Huskies.
Rats Studied
By Psych Grads
The psychology department's
rats which are well established ir
their new home, the rat shack, are
undergoing experiments to enable
graduate assistants in psychology
to prove facts about behavior.
Elsie Peterson, graduate student
is using rats in an attempt to find
a relationship between*, emotional

conducting an experiment using
mazes to determine whether pun
ishment is an aid or hinderance to
learning. Miss Peterson is working
for her master’s degree in psychol
ogy while Mr. Porter is working
for his in education.

FLASH!
Washington State turned giant
killer for sure last night, snowing
under the Washington Huskies 47
28. It was the second straight de
feat for the league-leading Huskies.
Oregon State definitely boomed
i into the championship picture as a
resut of the Huskies' third loss in
less than a week after 10 straight
victories.
The Beavers, with nine victories
and four losses, are a game and
one-half behind Washington, with
11 victories and three losses.
Should the Staters defeat Ore
gon and0 sweep their remaining
two-game series with the Huskies,
the title would be theirs.
Oregon May Get
New Natatorium
Bovard Awaits Favorable
Word From WPA, Old
Gym to Be Used
More good news lightened the
hea,rts of Oregon’s Aquaducks yes
terday as they worked out for the
coming meet with Washington.
Word of a proposed new natato
rium and the possible entry of
Duck swimmers in the intercolle
giate meet at Harvard this year is
current.
New Nat Possible
If WPA says the word Oregon
will rebuild the present men’s
gymnasium into a modern natato
rium into a modern natatorium
with several thousand seating ca
pacity, new shower and locker
rooms, 500 to 600 bleacher seats,
high diving boards and other mod
ern necessities. So says Dr. John
F. Bovard, dean of the school of
physical education.
The new nat would be built
around the present pool in the
men’s gym facing University street.
The pool would be improved and a
new sterilizing unit installed.
Facilities Inadequate
Oregon’s swimming program,
now on the major sports list, would
get a big boost if the project goes
through. The present pool has no
space for spectators, and the wo
men’s pool in Gerlinger, where the
meets are now held, seats only
200.

Last night's victory was number
19 for the yearling five against one
defeat—a 37 to 35 overtime game
against the OSC Rooks that was
avenged by three successive vic

accounted for 11 points, running
