College Athletics Cost Oregon Sizeable Sum By LYLE NELSON So you would like to run a college athletic team? You had better reconsider or have some rich unkle with plenty of “clank.” The following items are just a few of the expenses of last year’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams. This does not include the salaries of coaches, officials, or any of the office staff. Equipment is one of the major costs of all college teams. During the 1937 season the football equip ment for the University cost near ly $3500. Basketball suits, balls, etc., cost $525. Baseball and track were slightly less with $485 and $450 respectively. Doctors Get $1100 Doctor bills for football players alone cost $1100 with the bill for medical supplies costing $900. The training table for the football players cost $2000. An additional $225 for the rubbing men was al lowed. In basketball the doctor bills were $25, medical supplies $150, training table $300, and Workmen $100. Much Uncounted These items are not exact, but are the amounts that are allowed for the various expenses in the athletic budget. In addition to these, the cost of awards, public ity and other miscellaneous ex pense brings the total to an amount that would be considered large by any investor. The three major sources of in come which balance this budget are from the receipts of-football and basketball games plus the money turned in from the sale of ASUO cards. Easter Speaker Dr. Donald M. Erb . . . speaks at campus Easter Sunday services. ProfessorHo we Says A thletes Rate Above Average in Grades By SADIE MITCHELL This year’s crop of athletes yielded not only a group of good sports, but their scholarship was also above the average of male students in general, said Professor H. C. Howe, who is a member of the University athletic board, recently. In spite of the obstacles presented by schedules which keep the players off the campus for about half the term, Professor Howe verj often finds brilliant students among the athletes. “In one of my Ducks, Beavers Vie (Continued from page four) Both Oregon and Oregon State have their weak events, and the final decision may rest upon which squad is the strongest in its weak events. Again, the additional entry of the Portland Pilots in the meet may complicate matters. George Philbrook, Pilot track mentor, is entering teams in seven out of eight events. He definitely has a dark-horse crew, which if it can’t win, will have plenty to say about the final outcome. Hayward will stake his chances of victory on winning the majority of the running events. In the sprints and pace grinds down the cinder paths, he will field such gallopers as dusky Mack Robin son, Olympic sprint runner-up; Don Barker and Bob Mitchell, sophomore distance "twins;" Crawford Lyle, letterman two-mil er; Jim Buck, sophomore sprinter; and Kirman Storli, rugged soph middle-distance man. Staters Have Specialty Oregon State, conceded almost a cinch win in the high jump relay where Duane Ackerson, team cap tain and jumper has soared to a height of 6 feet 4 inches. In Grant Teats, Bob Leslie, Aar on Funk, and Bill Hoyer, Coach Grant Swan has the same quartet of sprinters who last year set a new record of 1:28.2 in the 880 yard relay last year. Robinson of Oregon will run an ehoi in three races 440-yard, 880 yard, and mile relays. Barker, Mitchell, Lyle, and Jack Davidson, 4-mile relay mates will form probably the only one of Hayward’s entries which will enter the race as a definite favor ite. • classes I had a football player at the head of the class, and one at the foot, too,” he said. “Of course there is the type of athlete who comes to school for athletics only, whose motto is ‘I am an athlete and that’s all I am,’ but he usually flunks out.” In gen eral Professor Howe finds athletes conscientious in their work, will ing to learn,, and able to maintain a good standing in their classes. "At one time this institution adopted a rule requiring that a player pass a certain number of (hours, or he was dropped from the enrollment. The first person this rule hit was the captain of the football team, who was also editor of the Emerald and president of the student body. “We certainly hated to see him go,” Howe said. Later however, a point system was adopted where it was possible to check up on each player’s ac tivities. FIVE MEN PLEDGED Five new pledges to fraternities were named yesterday by the dean of men’s office: Murray Carson, Chi Psi; Jack Dallas, Beta Theta Pi; Clifton P. Smith, Alpha Tail Omega; Earle Rorvick, Phi Delta Theta; Peter Frizzell, Kappa Sig ma. Work Started On Igloo Stage For Peer Ggnt Many 'Props' Being Built; Light System Near Finish The mechanical department of .“Peer Gynt” began to show defi nite signs of activity yesterday as carpenters hammered and sawed while other workmen mounted a battery of stage lights on the Igloo east balcony. The sloping balcony, the whole .of which is to be used as a stage for the production, is being trans formed by a number of small plat forms into a series of level spots where the scenes will be staged. Several of the small stages are in place, as is the stage on which the University symphony orchestra will play. Also in place is the huge plat form, on which the dancing num bers will be presented. The overhead lighting for the stage is now partly in place, with 26 special colored lights already mounted above the front and mid dle of the stage. The 26 lights al ready up are only a fraction of the number which will be installed to give proper lighting effects as the cast of more than 40 persons goes through its paces on the night of April 26.
