THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL The reason this opening series with Washington State at thf Igloo tonight and tomorrow nighl is so difficult to dope is that ever} bit of information and comparisor is on paper. Technically, of course, all earl} season comparisons are likely ol be of the paper variety. But usual ly there exists a little more ground for actual pre-game predictions. Dave Silver is the only Webfoot who was a regular a year ago Most of the Palouse hill hoopsters saw service last season. But last winter they had a leader in Dutch Holstine. Also the present sopho more stars were still playing against high schools. Thus the present team has not played to gether before. Everywhere they’re heralding the Cougars as right up there with Washington in the “team to beat” class. On paper, they’re undoubt edly in line for a finish somewhere around the top. On paper, Oregon is nothing more than a dark horse. Remember, however, that all this is on paper. When they get out there on the shining boards to night, it may be a different story. It will be the first conference game for the present Cougar com bination, just as for the Ducks. And what they’ll do to each other is a highly problematical question. Howard Hobson's “big eight" is a smoother outfit by several heal thy miles than the one which ca vorted under Webfoot colors last season. There aren’t as many re serves, but there are more real first stringers. Dave Silver is a lad whose point collecting equal you won't find in these parts. Bobby Anet and Wal - ly Johansen, the dashing Astoria sophomores, are a pair of ball hawks the like of which hasn’t been seen here in some time. John ny Lewis is a steady, consistent, basketeer. When it comes to gen eralship and inspirational quali ties, call for Bill Courtney. Slim Wintermute, all 6 feet 8 inches of him, is a wonderfully improved player. His height is in valuable under the backboards as well as on tip-offs. Laddies Gale is a capable reserve forward. Then, when the going is rough and a bunch of points are needed in a might short time, there’s Ken Purdy. This boy Purdy is the best - REWARD - LOST: Elgin wrist watch brown leather strap, Arabic numerals, silver case, between College Side and Gerlinger hall. Call 1937J.

McArthur court tonight. Left to right are Kay Jewell, 6-foot 6-inch 9-inch pinch-hitter you ever saw. He can't miss when he’s “on.” * * * A lad to watch in tht Washing ton State lineup tonight is Frank Hooper, who plays guard and is a two-year letterman. Mr. Hooper is a sturdily-built young gentle man who did a great deal of dam j age to our Webfoots in a game which the Cougars won, 51 to 40, here last winter. His long shots that night were no less than sud den death for Oregon hopes of a climb in the race. Mr. Hooper has a brother named Al, who is a sophomore, and A1 is also on the Washington State squad. So we’ll see plenty of hoop ing by the very appropriately nam ed Hoopers. It’s a little late for all-America football teams, but here’s one which you haven’t read in every paper you’ve picked up for the last two months. It’s the team picked annually by the National Intercollegiate Sports Writers’ association. It’s chosen by sports editors of college papers all ever the country. Bob Kunckel, who edits the Dakota Student at the University of North Dakota, does the heavy work of sending out forms to the various sports scribes over the country and tabulating and sending out the results. * * * Your correspondent put in a good word fer Del Bjork, but Del did no better than fourth team in the compilation. No coast players made the first string, although the pickers included Bert Carter of the Washington State Evergreen, Clark Jones of the Southerti California Trojan, Bob Wesson of the Daily Californian, and Larry Keiscl of the Santa Clara paper. Max Starcevich of Washington, Ed Goddard of Washington State, and Bob Herwig cf California were on the second eleven. The coast drew a blank again on the third, but lijork and Washington’s Byron Haines made fourth team. Clark of Stanford and Falaschi of Santa Clara were on team No. 5, and on the sixth eleven were Bassi cf Santa Clara, Chuck Bond of Washington, and Davie Davis of the Trojans. Gonzaga’s Karamatic made seventh team, and eighth, which is as far as the “all-Ameri can” goes, neglected the western slopes. * * * Fifty-three campus sports writ ers in 34 states contributed, send ing in one team each, picking no men from their own squad. Then they listed the three leading men on their own team. Well here's that first team, and j it’s similar to a lot of others: Kelly, Yale _....LE j Widseth, Minnesota.LT , Reid.

The Webfoots lost two in three on a California road trip, took twc from Multnomah club, split a pair with Union Oil, and won single games from UCLA, Southern Ore gon Normal, and Wagner's All Stars. Most interesting game in the practice schedule was the Union Oil encounter at Portland, won by the Ducks in overtime. 43 to 38 Three minutes before that hair raising contest ended, Wally Johansen tied the count at 28 with a field goal. Wally Palmberg drop ped two field goals in a row to put the Oilers in the lead, 32 to 28. Then, with less than a minute to go, Ken Purdy swished the hemp twice in succession from cen ter to knot the count. In the over time period the Ducks ran up 11 points.

Smith, head of the geology department, has re ceived a special invitation from a leading Russian geologist to attend the International Geological con ference in Russia this summer. This conference is held every three years in a different country. The last session was in the United States. Dr. Smith worked with the Rus sian geologist in 1922 in the Philip pines. Special trips wil lbe held all over Russia for the guests and geologists of foreign countries will be shown what Russia has done under the Five-Year plan to ad vance minerology and study of geology.

Girls’ Rifle Squad Plans Mail Matches ASUO Offers New Activity To Women Interested in Rifle Praetice Oregon’s neophyte girls’ rifle team, which created a campus stir last term by defeating the faculty shooting squad, is already under fire preparatory to entering sever al intercollegiate matches.

On February 27, the local team will shoot in the ROTC rifle range against Creighton, Kansas, Illinois, Washington (St. Louis, Mo.), and Missouri universities and Rippon and Concordia colleges. Other postal encounters are be ing arranged for future dates by Lucille Bochman, team manager, who also has potential plans for a| squad trip to Seattle later in the j year to compete against the Uni-, versity of Washington markswo men. Contrary to popular opinion, the Oregon shooting aces are not con trolled by the military department, but are sponsored by the Associat ed Students’ educational activities j department with coaching assist ! ance from ROTC personnel. CHARLIE ELLIOTT’S UNIVERSITY BARBER SHOP THREE BARBERS AL — FRED —. CHARLIE * 1239 Alder Visits to Hospital Are Suspended Fear of Epidemic of Colds Necessitates Taking of Immediate Action Dr. Fred N. Miller, director of the University health service, an nounced yesterday that until fur ther notice visiting at the hos pital in the health service would be prohibited in order to hvoid any possible epidemic on the campus such as occurred last year. Dr. Miller said that a number of students were alreauy confined with acute upper respiratory infec tion, and that there is a rather widespread and severe epidemic of influenza throughout the state and that every recaution will be tak en to prevent it from reaching Eu gene. “It is desired to emphasize that at the present time there is no epi demic and that this measure is taken merely as a protective mea sure," Dr. Miller said. “But in view of the fact that social activities were banned on the campus for some time last year, it seems ad visable to protect the University community from any serious amount of sickness," he added. Ralph S. Schomp, educational manager, and Anse Cornell, ath letic manager, will become sand wich board bearers in the ASUO parade which will follow the stu dent body meeting in Gerlinger hall today. Schomp and Cornell have creat ed “something different” in sand wich board advertising to greet the Washington State basketball squad on their arrival in Eugene. The pair will march in front cf the Oregon band and will lead the par ade through downtown streets. ^.'I'iiiimT'.iiiiiinimHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiitiiHiiiii.'miiiiiiiwiiiiBMiuiiiiii'stBitintiiit Boushey Lists Large Donut Sports Slate Most Extensive Program In History Slated for Winter Term; New Gymnasium Opened In conjunction with the opening' of Oregon’s new physical education building.

Bales to Head Inter-Group Sing Alpha Mu Planning Contest To Revive Traditional Alma Mater Songs Freed Bales was named chair man of the Phi Mu Alpha commit tee in charge of the men’s inter group sing last night, and he will be assisted by Bert Chamberlin, Wilbur Jessen, Alvin Templer and Wendell Gilfry. Registration blanks have been sent to all men’s living organiza tions along with letters of invita tion, Bales said. Several groups have already registered. In competition for the cup, which is new this year, each group will sing three songs, one to be an old Oregon song. Since the purpose of the contest is two-fold: to revive some of the traditional old Alma Mater songs, and to stimulate in terest in singing together for fun, "Mighty Oregon” and “As I Sit and Dream at Evening,” will not be eligible in this group. “Dear Land of Home” by Jean Sibelius, has been chosen as the song to be sung by the massed choruses in the finals, which will be held during the latter part of Feb ruary, probably at a student body assembly during National Music week. The third song is to be one picked by the group and arranged and sung as they wish. The judges, to be announced later, will be men prominent in music and student favor, and will visit every organization during the first part of F’ebruary to pick the final contestants. Winners in the finals will have possession of the Phi Mu Alpha song cup for one year and if any house wins three years consecutively they will ob tain permanent ownership.
