J. PINK’S LEMON-AID Although 1 am sliil some years short of 70 and am con sidered liberal in a large sense of the word 1 have reached the terminus of my tenure as disseminator of sports publicity for this sheet. I could get philosophic and dribble on about how every thing that has a beginning must have an ending; or all that goes up must sometime descend, as stock-brokers will verify. But 1 won't. Some thoughtful soul very recently informed me that school was now in its third weak and that mid-terms would be rolling in soon. That was a distinct surprise and more of a shock to me. I had been living a rather Utopian existence of late (as late as 3 or 4 in the morning sometimes), working for the paper and regarding school as non-existent, as a group of buildings one passed on his way to and from the Emerald office in the dark stillness of the night. Aside from that there is a more direct reason. It seems that 1 am a success. No longer need I slave and toil away unnoticed, unheralded, unsung. I have been recognized. And how? Well, those of you who carefully scanned yesterday’s Emerald will find me mentioned in Pollock’s Folly. Success? the Olympian peaks of that phantasmal being. Casting such aside for the moment—those who prefer casting dry flies, wet flies, casting plugs, or just plain, garden-ordinary worms, will find an excellent selection at the Co-op—the pur pose of this column is to introduce my successor. Bill Norene and I started as freshmen on this sheet Iasi year. We have come a long way together (and if you will only take a good squint at my beard you will know just how long; and I am happy to see Bill step into the shoes which, any number of reasons, equally good and equally bad, prevent me from continuing to occupy. So henccforwardly Bill will preside1 as head man of this sanctum sanctorum while I attempt to regain the lost and tangled threads of my educational life. Not that this tripe drool ing out lias seriously affected that life. But a fellow is entitled to a little rationalization to tide him over. I have to have some excuse to write home. So, may I bow out now, and leave this to Bill Norene, a fine guy, a capable workman, and an up-and-eoming journalist. John’s Boy Earl and Tovio The two inseparable, where one goes the other goes also. A good example i,s the way the boys date a certain Pi Phi. The girl, it seems, is an old friend and the boys take turns dating her. The one that doesn’t have a date goes along to keep the other two company. Earl Sandness and Tovio Piippo arc both from that basketball cen ter, Astoria, and played together three years while in high school. Remarks from and about the two boys came mostly from tall, red-haired Sandness, who contrib uted the rather startling fact that Piippo looks more like Stan Lau rel than Laurel does himself. Stories seemed to flow freely about the quiet Piippo, who is re ported to have got his name from the seagulls which flew about Astoria crying, “Piippo, Piippo.” When asked of Warren, the boys decided that it was Warren who made Astoria’s stars. Such per sons as Wally Palmberg, Sarpoia, Anet, Johansen and others owe a great deal to a real coach like Warren. The boys were prepared to enter Oregon State last fall, but decided Oregon was the real basketball center and so they enrolled here. The boys are among the out standing players on the frosh squad and are frequently in the starting lineup. Lately, however, Piippo has not seen much action because of weak ankles. The big. grinning Sandness, though, is in there every game. Girl Reserves to Convene Here for State Convention The University will be host to ap proximately 150 Girl Reserves Jan uary 28, 29, and 3o, when delegates of the organization assemble for their state-wide convention here. Bettylou Swart, YWCA confer ence chairman, is in charge of ar rangements on the campus. The confercncee will begin Friday eve ning, January 28, with a fireside meeting at the YW bungalow. Dis cussion groups will be held Satur day morning. Mrs. E. E. DcCou, former dean of women at the University, will be the main speaker at the Saturday night banquet of the conference. Visiting delegates will be housed at several living organizations on the cam pus, and meals, except the Saturday evening banquet, will be eaten at the men’s dormitory dining room. Instructor Writes For 'Clearing House' A. Kirk Knott, teaching fellow in the sociology department, has an article in a recent issue of Clearing House entitled "English Drill Can be Taken Home." While teaching in the Colorado state pre paratory school at Boulder, Mr Knott became very aware of the difficulty students had in carry ing good speech habits into homes where parents did not speak cor rect English. After several years of study Mr. Knott formulated a forum of good speech, which could be taken home and used during dinner conversa tion. making the acquiring of good habits of English into more or less oi a dinner game for students and parents alike.

Near ly one hundred and fifty stu dents were at Hand lake for the occasion, and all seemed to en joy themselves immensely. The ski races were cancelled due to the fact that the snow was too swift for decent racing. A lack of entries made cancel lation possible. Over twenty five students took advantage of the beginners lessons given by Paul Lafferty of the Obsidians, and notable improvement was i shown by some of the newcom- , ers to the ancient art of skiing. Another outing will be held next Sunday and present plans call for tryouts for the ski team at that time. With the closing of most fraternity "hell weeks" and initiations an even larger turnout is expected. A meet has been scheduled with Oregon State and Willam ette to be held about the end of the month. It will be held at Crescent lake and team mem bers will make the trip to the lake on the Ski Laufers special ski train. Application was made last Thursday to make skiing a mi nor sport at the University. The athletic board referred the mat ter to the executive council for its OK, and if it is received the matter will again be referred to the board for final passing. Woodrow Truax, club secre tory, wishes to make the fol lowing statement concerning the ski bus, which was cancelled last week: Ski Bus Riders: After consulting Vernon Pom eroy this afternoon. I■ find that several of our enthusiastic ski club members would just as leave have my throat as fasten a pair of slats on their feet. 1 hope t am forgiven because my health isn't so good after two days in the mountains this weekend Not trying to make alibis but I think the defeat of last Sun day's ski bus can be laid upon no one. There were ‘Jti persons signed to go and wo had to have dll to get the bus for that price I wish that those of you who tramped off in a huff from the College Side had waited a little while and you could have se cured rides front individuals who made the trip in cars. As soon is the supply of passengers was exhausted down town they dr. vo out to the University amt picked up those persons waiting at the Side.

Stewart Fijis 19, Yeomen 14 Holding a slight lead at the end of the first half and maintaining it throughout the Fijis defeated an up and coming Yeomen crew 19 to 14. The game started rather fast, but the pace slowed down at the beginning of the second half. Here the Yeomen took advantage of the slowing down pace and began pounding the hoop with a little more consistency to cut down the Fiji lead to 5 points as the gams ended. Campbell starred for the Fijis with 9 joints closely followed by Fox of the Yeomen with 8.

The teams were tied at 8 all at the end of the first half, but at the beginning of the soeond Dick Wray entered the game giving the Gamma boys the necessary spark. Within a few minutes he had scored two field Too Man y Wrestlers; Coach Is Bothered If the coming boxing and wrest ling show with Oregon State col lege on McArthur court January 28 excluded all but competitors of the 145-pound class, the powers that be of the Mitt and Mat club wrestling team could sit back and assume a thoroughly complacent attitude. A1 Bogue, grunt and groan coach, might even begin spending restful hours in the library brows ing room instead of grinding away in the mat rooms of the men’s gym in an attempt to round out a team that will pull ears on even terms with the Beavers from Cor vallis. It all narrows down to the fact that the 145-pound division of the squad is over-crowded with cap able maulers. Six men, practically all on a par as far as wrestling ability Is concerned, scrawl their names on the workout sheet which is hung in the training quarters. The six are Johnny Valleau, Walt Wood, Clarence Francis, Harry Schaffer, Morton Myers, and Elbie Stidd. But such a bevy of scrappers is itself a problem to the Duck men tor. Bogue is having trouble pick ing the two or three men to repre sent the club against the Dixon men. Tarzan Valleau is last year’s 145-pound champion, while Francis was J35-pound champ last year. Wood has been one of the best of the lot all year. Two of the remaining three will be competing against their old alma mater two weeks from today if chosen to draw on trunks. Both Stidd and Myers are ex-Beavers. Schaffer is one of Eugene’s own goals thus putting the game on ice with a 12 to 10 lead. From here on they forged ahead enough to sew up the game.

Francis, just a wee bit smaller than the rest of the grapplers, may train down to the light-weight class which has no representative at present. Hayward Calls for Track Candidates Bill Hayward, veteran Oregon track coach, complained yesterday of the woeful lack of material from which to pick the freshmen and varsity track teams. Hayward stated that the campus is full of men who would make good track material if they would turn out. The present need is not for exceptional tracksters, or even experienced ones, but for inexper ienced material which may be de veloped. There are eighteen places still open on the varsity track team, and many more on the freshman team. Anyone interested in trying out should report immediately, as spring aspirants who have not had the winter training, will stand very little chance of making the team. Field men are particularly need ed this year due to the heavy loss caused by spring football practice, thus giving the inexperienced men an excellent chance in this branch of the sport. Track workouts are held daily in the unfinished part of the men's gym, where there are adequate facilities for pole vaulting, broad jumping, high jumping, and other field events. The squad will take to Hayward field as soon as weather permits. Oregon's Ace Scorer In Campus'Coop'for Seventeen Hour Stag Star May See Action Against Grizzly Pack; Coach Hobson Ranks Jigg's Dahlburg's Montana Crew as Top-Flight Outfit Laddie Gale, second high scorer in the northern division, was dis charged from the campus infirmary following a brief 17 hour stay after he had held his own with symptoms disturbingly similar to those displayed by Dgve Silver before Dave came down with chickenpox. Dicharged at poon Wednesday, Gale spent the rest of the day in bid. As Gale's condition remained unchanged throughout the-day, Coach Hobson stated that he would prob ably be able to use the lanky Oak ridge boy in the coming Montana series. Maybe Two More In the meantime two other mem bers of the varsity ball club, For ward John Dick and Guard Ford Mullen, told Coach Hobson they did not feel so well. Hobson stated that their complaints were of the same kind as Silver’s. Both participated in yesterday’s workouts although playing list lessly. Meanwhile Coach Hobson has the Montana Grizzlies to worry about. After seeing them play Oregon State Tuesday evening at Corvallis he started figuring ways to stop the Montanan’s fast-break and quick shooting. Fast Ball Handlers He said, “Although smaller than most of the teams, Montana handles the ball faster than any club I’ve seen this year and the ■ players shoot from anywhere on the floor. “The Grizzlies are very fast, and though not tall, are tough under the backboard,” continued Coach Hobson. “Jim Seyler, center, Thompson, their captain, and Charles Miller, guard, are their outstanding men,” he concluded. With Gale’s absence Coach Hob son lost no time in working two of his sophomores, John Dick and Ted Sarpola, into the expected starting combination. Matt Pavalunas was also „.ven a trial at one of the forwar posts and succeeded in dropping n a couple of his highly arched long shots. He may be used in either position against the Grizzlies.

HE S£U$ TOBACCO TO THEM All But Branch Bobbitt, like so many other independent experts, prefers Luckies... T AUCTIONS in my warehouse 1\. in Farmville,North Carolina,” says Mr. Branch Bobbitt, "the higher the tobacco sells for, the better my profits. So I'm always glad to see Lucky Strike buyers in there bidding. They know what they want and they’ll keep bidding right up until they get it. "Well —in a cigarette —it's the tobacco that counts. I know to bacco and I know what tobacco is in what cigarettes. So that’s one reason I’ve smoked Luckies for 5 or 6 years.” Mr. Bobbitt represents the "aris tocracy” of tobacco experts. He judges the tobacco that the growers grow .He’s impartial, not connected with any cigarette manufacturer. Many other experts agree with Mr. Bobbitt. Sworn records show that, among independent tobacco experts, Luckies have twice as many exclusive smokers as have all the other cigarettes combined.
