EMERALD SPORTS UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1936 Don McFadden, Webfool pitcher, pictured above, is recognized all over the Northwest as the best m .umlsman in the northern division. Last spring he was responsible for eight of the eleven games won by Oregon in its drive to the division championship. EWS seeps back from Yale where they held the big swim ming meet last weekend, that Jim Hurd got stuck in the little end of the horn. He had the poor luck of being placed in a slow heat in the 100 to qualify. Hurd took the heat in a breeze but wasn’t pushed and therefore his time was slow. It seems that the boy from Honolulu needs some competition to put out his best. Well, his time irf his heat was just a little too slow to qualify. Whatever truth there is in this news it turned out that the time that won the 100 in the finals was only some three-tenths of a second better than Hurd’s best time here on the coast. It was tco darn bad the drawings put him with a slow bunch in the qualifying heats. With some hot competition Hurd would have really put out, judging from past performances. * a a rpHERE are two sides to every x question, including the sad case of George Varoff, Oregon’s record smashing pole-vaulter who is being lost through ineligibility. One side of the question was printed in this column yesterday, the side of the many students and others who wpuld like to see Var off breaking records for Oregon in the Olympics. However, this writ er feels there is undeniably anoth er side. Mr. Hail thinks the same way and has come forward with a splendid resume of the better points on the other side of the matter. His letter is here printed in full, per his request. Dear Mr. Clark: I think it would have been only fair (you use that word so glibly) to have come and discussed the case cf George Varoff with me be fore writing your “Sport Chat” column for Tuesday, March 31. In that case the facts might have been a little more accurate. Ob viously you got your facts from* some biased source. I should like it clearly' under stood that Mr. Yaroff’s eligibility or any of my ether student's eligi bility for an extra-curricular ac tivity does not enter into my grading. All of the athletes l have had in classes have been treated in this way' and previous to Mr. Aaroff, none of them has com plained. A ou suggest that I might allow Mr. Aaroff to take another exam ination. In that case, I should allow ail cf the students in the course to take a reexamination. And what a precedent that might set for the Ynivesrity as a whole.' I ask you, is it fair to allow one student to take twenty, thirty or more weeks to learn the material persented in a course which you require other students to master in ten weeks. Our University classes arc organized on a definite time-limit basis, not a work-limit basis. id: say that Mr. Varoff worked hard. My records do not indicate that. He did not turn in papers when they were, due nor there after. His attendance at ciass was very irregular, although atten dance does not enter into my grading. At midterm, Mr. Varoff knew he was tailing but he did not take advantage cf a conference I held with ail students who were low. Finally, his examination per formance was such that I could do nothing but give him an F. You might have mentioned that i did write a letter to the scholar ship committee about Mr. Varoff, and if they had wanted to do something they could have. Inci dentally, Mr. Varoff decs not need to leave school, according to the scholarship committee. He can stay and take all the music and art that he wants. In conclusion, Mr. Clark, let me say that I attempt to maintain the same standards in the classroom as are maintained on the athletic lileld. In try-outs for an event, would the judges perimt one per | son to have twice as many trials as those permitted the other con testants? Sincerely yours, "ahin S. Hall. 1’. S. in fairness to Mr. Varoff, it should be stated that he has not complained overly-much about the grade. The complaints have come from other students and a pro fessor. \Ye realize, Mr. Hall, that you are right, according to the rules. We were merely presenting the human side of it, asking you to reconsider. Of course, if you feel the preesnt situation just, the stu dents must abide by your decision. Spring Archery Practice Begins Practice for intramural archery, which begins today, will be held ev ery Tuesday and Thursday after noon from 4 to 5:30, according' to Harriet W. Thomson, professor of physical education. -Miss Thomson and Jean Ackerson ai’e in charge of the practices. Later in the season, University women will compete in the annual national telegraphic archery meet. The shooting will be in the form of the Columbia round, in which each contestant shoots 24 arrows at 30 yards, 24 at 40 yards, and 24 at 50 yards. This year the meet will be con ducted by district as well as na tional competition. The northwest district, which includes Oregon, is composed of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Utah, and Wyoming. The University will probably take part in the contest May 20-27. Spring Term!! • vi.) w* mvi-. . • b; Iuj viv-j ^• -1 i'n! <•( $ Hi!

Ouk Duck Baseball Team May Play This Weekend Portland University Tilts Being Slated; Amato Has Measles The 1936 University of Oregon baseball varsity will parade before the eyes of the scattering of stu dents who possess ASUO cards this week-end, if plans of Coach Howard Hobson go through. Bickerings were made last week with Linfield college for a home and home series Friday and Satur day, but the Wildcats were unable to play because of spring vacation interruptions. Plans are now afoot for a week-end series with Port land university. Eight Tilts in Prospect Eight pre-conference contests are being lined up for the Web foots, with Portland U., Linfield, Willamette, and Monmouth normal listed as prospective opponents. An attempt is being made to schedule home and home series with each team. Cold, windy, and rainy weather has seriously hampered practice ef forts of the VV'ebfoots to date, but the squad is slowly taking shape, and first cuts will be made within the next few days. The opening intra-squad game between regu lars and yannigans was held last night, and the entire turnout, in cluding the pitching staff, was giv en a once over by Hobson. Earl Bucknum and Cece Inman started the practice contest on the mound, and later gave way to the rest of the staff, including Don Mc Fadden, curve ball ace of the northern division. Other flingers taking their turns on the hillock were Bob Millard, Dick Maxwell, Bill Marshall, and Gordon Connel ly. The infield, Hobson’s problem child, seemed, no nearer a solution after yesterday's session. Johnny ! Lewis has been definitely trans ferred from first to shortstop, where the need for talent is even more acute than at the initial has sock. Courtney on First Inner four for the regulars yes terday included Bill Courtney on first, Bob Wimbush at second, Lewis at short, and Bud Goodin on third. The yannigan infield lined up with Tom McCall, brother of last season's first sacker, at first; “Russ Marshall on second, Bill Mcorc at short, and Eddie Vail at 1 third. A temporary blow was struck at ! the Webfoot outfield yesterday ; when Ralph Amato, letterman left | fielder, developed a case of meas | les. With Amato out, Hobson put i Chief McLean and Pitcher McFad | den in the outfield with Andy Hur | ney. "Bing” Crosbie, Frank Mi chek, LeRoy Mattingly, Howard Parks, and Bill Johnson were other gardeners working on the second “team. The northern division schedule has not been approved by all schools yet and is therefore not ready for release. A tentative I slate has been drawn up, and in I all probability the conference lid opener will fir|d Oregon State’s : Beavers battling the Webfoots on ; Anonymous field April 24. Toastmaster Club Will Meet Tonight Don Yeager will lead the Toast master club, which will meet to night at S o’clock in the Y hut in stead of the regular Thursday | meeting.

Last year’s title was taken by the Phi Delta Theta team of ball hawks, who are favorites to repeat in this year's competition. The Phi Delta, with Sizzleball Benson on the mound, face Zeta hall at 4 today. Rabid bleacher fans predict a victory for the barnmen. Battery for Zeta hall will be Truby and Dalyrymple.

Schumacher (Continued from pane one) higher education from making the course optional if the students wish it. I)nn Thomas Speaks Don Thomas, presenting the compulsory side, which he and Robert Thomas prepared, support ed the present set-up on the basis of a part of a necessary national defense, and that the said national defense is non-militaristic, being 'evolved from the policies of a (1) small standing army, and (2) citi zenry soldiery—the National Guard, and the organized reserves. He also maintained that through the universities was the most logi cal means of educating officers, as in these institutions are gathered the most intelligent young men. He also showed that the course was definitely not militaristic. Aid to the school through the al lotments to the advanced military students was also pointed out by Thomas. He closed by stating that the course was in fact optional, through the lenient exemptions committee. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription rates $2.50 a year.

He ran in the Hill relays at Portland last week and is expected to pile up points for Oregon in all meets this year. American Track Men Picked To Win in Olympics The United States will win the majoiity of the track and field events at the Olympic games in Berlin this summer; at any rate j that is how the leading track i coaches of the country figure it o>n paper. To be specific, 112 out | of 23 first places are expected to I fall to the onslaughts of the Americans. The shorter distances, the hurd 1 ies, and the relays should be a snap to the Yanks, but in the . field events they will probably cut the mustard in only the high jump, broad jump, pole vualt, and shotput. Oregon has possible point get ters for the American team in Bud Snoemake, the 9.5 century man, and “Squeak” Lloyd, sprinter and 25 foot broad jumper. Unfortu nately, George Varoff, one of the best pole vaulters of the nation, has been rendered ineligible for intercollegiate competition beer use of low grades. Metcalfe and Owens are ex pected to win the 100 and 200 meters, Eddie O'Brien the 400 meters, and Ben Eastman is ex pected to take the 800 meters again. The Finns as usual will probably win the long distance runs, but in the 1500 meters the New Zealander, Jock Lovelock, is picked to nose out Glen Cunning ham. Stanford’s Dink Templeton says that George Bright of the Olym pic club will stand a show in the distances, but he is not backed by many of the others in the game. If lie does, he will carry on where Ktlph Hill failed four years ago. In bringing us the points in the hurdles, Moreau will take the high Sport Bulletin Intramural . golf and tennis schedules will be finished by the first of next week and play In these sports will commence then according to intramural offic ials. The Emerald had pre viously stated that play would begin Wednesday. All freshman golfers must qualify by Wednesday. They are asked to get in touch with Bob Speer at 2154-K. ones and Hardin the low one3. The versatile Jesse Owens is picked for the broad jump. England’s forte will be the mid dle distances, and Sweden will probably win her one big event, the discus. Japan is considered a real menace in the jumps and Fin land in most distance races. Ger many, however, is threatening to take team honors in this Olympiad. Trees do not grow up; marks on the trunk do not move upward as the tree grows taller. BKSJhO-TIVH sujohi dmi|d 3II.I.
