Suppose you, Mr. Reader, were
a “hot” collegiate prospect for pro
baseball. Yes, and suppose the
scouts clustered around, all eager
to get your name on the dotted
line on a contract.
What would you do ? Would you
sign and leave school, all the while
planning to return during the off
season to complete the require
ments for graduation? Or would
you turn thumbs down on all of
fers, saying, “Boys, come and see
me when I graduate. I’ll talk tur
key then.”
The decision would not be easy,
would it, Reader. Not - when the
scouts exhibit a bulging and jing
ling pocket. Suppose, too, that you
were not on a baseball scholarship
at your school. That might make
a difference, too, mightn't it?
Well, that is the situation that
faced Elmer Mallory last week
when he penned a pro contract. He
couldn't resist, and the University
lost a darn good shortstop.
No “Sucker Play’’
Now Elmer has faced a lot of
criticism for making such a de
cision as he did. And some of it,
in my opinion, hasn’t been quite
t fair, especially a few stories that
would lead one to believe that Mai
is making a “sucker play.”
Some of these press articles
point out that it's a 100 to 1
chance that any rookie will reach
the big league where real dough
lies and that a college degree
would insure the college ball play
er against the time, if it should
come, that he were injured or
found out he couldn’t make the
grade.
These I agree with, heartily. I
know a big leaguer is one in a
thousand. And I believe I know
the value of a college degree. Too,
I see Coach Hobby Hobson’s side
of the picture. He’s not thinking
wholly of his own team when he
tries to discourage most of these
college ball players from turning
pro.
He’s thinking also of their fu
ture. He knows from long experi
ence that many of them aren’t
ready for the pro racket, he knows
what a tough proposition this pro
stuff really is (he played some,
himself, in the coast league), and
he knows that they ought to have
a college degree to fall back on.
“Case for Mallory’’
This is okay, but what I don’t
like is the fact that Elmer Mal
lory’s “case for Mallory” has been
entirely overlooked . . . also the
implication that a college degree
is lost if not gained prior to en
trance into pro ball.
Mallory, just like Wimpy Quinn,
John Linde, Ford Mullen, and
Busher Smith, is a boy whose chief
interest is baseball. Everything
else is secondary. However, Mal
lory has his eyes open. He figures
to get that degree by going to
school two terms a year.
What's more, Mallory will tell
you. just as Quinn will, that he is
, giving pro baseball about three
^ years, that is if he sees he isn't
making the grade. By that time,
too, he expects to have his college
degree and be ready, if necessary,
to turn his complete attention to
making good in a different field.
If he does “go” in baseball, so
much the better.
Gordon Came Back;
As for the argument that only
about five per cent of these play
ers who turn pro come back to
finish school, it is? “hooey” where
as Oregon is concerned.
Joe Gordon came back. So did
Ford Mullen, who completed his
college eligibility, but not his
graduation requirements. And
Wimpy Quinn and John Linde, they
are. both in school now. Even Bill
Sayles, strong-armed pitcher who
dropped out after his sophomore
year and who goes ■ up with the
fc. Boston Red Sox this spring, came
back for a term or two, although
he didn't finish ... of course Bill
never did love school overmuch,
anyway.
Big Bo Millard, fire-ball left
hander who was a big star here a
few years ago in his sophomore
season, quit to play pro ball, gave
it a couple of years, and is now
learning dentistry in Portland. He
dropped out of the diamond game
when he found it might endanger
his fingers and forestall his dentist
ambitions.
Hobson Wished Him Luck
Auother point to be considered
is a fact that a bad year might
cause offers to be. as scarce as
hair en a. Rainbow trout. This hap
pened to Wimpy Quinn last year.
Wellington had plenty of offers in
« his sophomore year, but hardly a
one after a bad season last year.

Jim Manley Drops
Decision; Fruit
Upset by Phillips
By BOB FLAVELXJE
Discarding the usual rushing
tactics of most footbail players
who enter the boxing ring, John
“Buck” Berry of Oregon grid fame
pounded out a hard three-round
decision over Jim Manley in the
feature bout of last night's box
ing and wrestling smoker at Mc
Arthur court.
Berry showed excellent form
and punching ability, causing
Coach Corley to believe that he
has found a capable man to fill
the heavyweight gap left vacant
when Jim Bailey retired because
of ill health.
Manley took all that Berry
had to offer and dished out plenty
of punishment himself in dropping
: the decision.
Fruit Upset.
Upset of the evening was scored
by Warren Phillips who success
fully tied up Jack Fruit's short
body punches.and when Fruit was
off balance peppered him with
| rights and lefts to the head.
1 Fruit became impatient when
; Phillips. would not lead and this
proved his downfall. Phillips took
advantage of Fruit's rushes and
I kept him continually in a hole.
Dick Ashcom won a three-round
slugfest from A1 Greenberg in
which little damage was done,
both fighters spending1 most of
the rounds amusing the crowd
i with their bull-like rushes. At one
1 time Ashcom, who had a 40-pound
weight advantage, held Greenberg
off with one hand while he gazed
out over the ropes at his friends in
the stands.
Riley Wins
Pete Riley won an easy decision
from Martin Schedler in a neat
exhibition of boxing by both
fighters. Riley had too many guns
for Schedler and several times
staggered his opponent with hard
rights to the head.
Wee Willie Williams proved the
disappointment of the show in de
faulting to Harold Kaschko after
the referee, Eddie Pape, had or
dered an overtime period after nine
minutes of even-up wrestling. Wil
liams was too tired to continue,
and the bout was given to Kasch
ko.
Dake Upset
Waldo Caufield pulled a sur
prise in pinning Burton Dake in
three minutes and 18 seconds.
Caufield is a newcomer to varsity
wrestling, while Dake is a veter
an from last year’s team.
The, judges of the boxing bouts
were Russ Cutler and R. A. Babbs.

down last year, a move which the
“Dutchman” probably regrets now,
for it cost the Cubs §5,000 to ac
quire the big third baseman from
Vancouver.
But to get back to Mallory, the
flashy infielder capitalized on a
good year. It was a tough blow for
Hobson to take and a loss to the
University. But let's not be down
on him. Rather, without tossing
any bouquets at professional base

Drop Hoop Tilts
By BERNIE ENGEL
Maybe the boys just put up too
fast a game in proportion to their
skill or perhaps they were all “off”
in their form, but yesterday’s intra
mural basketball games were first
class scrambles with shot-making a
mere incident. Phi Delta 'Theta
pounced on the Phi Kappa Psi
crew 16 to 9; Theta Chi lost a close
one to Chi Psi, 8 to 10; and the
Super Chargers dropped Kappa
Sigma 9 to 5.
Leading five to nothing for near
ly a quarter of play, the Phi Delts
were finally scored upon when Lc
Roy Elliott, Phi Psi, sank a foul
shot. The Phi Psis garnered an
other basket and a foul shot but
the Phi Delts dropped two more
field goals to make the half-time
score 9 to 5.
The Phi Delts set the pace as the
last half turned into a rough and
tough scramble with both teams
determined to get the ball. Final
score was 16 to 9.

Bill Moore, was the hero of the

on a foul shot in the first quarter
stood unaccompanied until the last
frame. Fred Slade made the Kappa

the game at 5 to 5.

drive, however, and Jack Jasper

Atherton Press
Release Clarifies
Conference Setup
—
Editor’s note: This press release was issued to all newspapers and
wire services, including campus publications, in order to clarify the new
“recruiting” rules passed by the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate confer
ence this year.
The Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Athletic conference, at its winter
meeting held in Los Angeles during the first week of January, 1940,
enacted certain legislation designed to eliminate undesirable practices
in connection with the recruiting of high school and junior college
athletes and the granting of aid
to athletes after enrollment. A gen
eral statement of the scope and
purpose of the new regulations was
given to the public through a press
statement issued during the meet
ing.
Judged by the inquiries received
by the commissioner’s office, the
announcement made by the con-1
ference did not carry sufficient de-!
tail, with the result that some un
certainty and confusion has de-!
veoped in the minds of athletic of
ficials, coaches, alumni of the re- :
spective member institutions of the '
conference and other interested I
persons. Misunderstanding appears j
to exist not only with respect to!
the activities forbidden by the new j
regulations.but also as to the time
when these rules become effective.
In an endeavor to further clarify
the situation, it is deemed advis
able to set forth some of the more |
vital changes and additions to the
rules in this supplemental state
ment.
No Entertainment
Alumni and,-even more particu- j
larly, high school and junior college j
students whose future interests are
directly concerned, are urged to j
give careful consideration to the:
first two rules and the interpreta
tive comments which follow:
“Except as specified herein, en-1
tertainment of high school or jun
ior college athletes by members of 1
the conference or their representa-i
tives or alumni is forbidden. Viola
tion of this rule shall render the
athlete or athletes involved ineli
gible at the institution whose rep
resentatives or alumni arc involved
in the violation. This rule shall not|
preclude entertainment of such ath
letes by a conference institution on
its own campus, when they are
present for the purpose of athletic
competition with the institution's
own team."
The word “entertainment’’ as
used in the foregoing rule includes
banquets, week end excursion:!, and
other outings, trips to visit col
lege campuses, complimentary
ticket;-, to athletic contests and
other events, and similar means of
influencing promising athletes
toward one particular institution.
Itceruiting Trije* Out
The following rule, whi'h ex
tends the restrictions on recruiting
activities, carries the same penalty
as tfcm one just quoted;
"Trip;, by athletic officials or
ooachc;- for the purpose of recruit -
mg are forbidden. When athletic
officials or coachcs are og trips
they night ^ot gjtervifcr/
school or junior college athletes.;
A visit to a high school or junior
college athlete or his family by an !
athletic official or coach, unless
he is a personal friend, can gen
erally be interpreted only as re
cruiting.”
No change was made in the rule
permitting athletes to receive “(1)
Scholarships awarded by the insti
tution on a competitive scholastic
basis in competition open to ath
letes and non-athletes alike; (II)
loans made to a student by the
institution in which he is enrolled,
under regulations applicable to all
students alike; and (III) grants in
aid for the payment of tuition from
funds received by the institution,
not exceeding the amount agreed
upon by the conference for the
equalization of differentials in tui
tion between the member institu
tions." However, amendments to
the rules provide: "(1) that such
loans (II) and grants in aid (III)
shall be made by the student’s
institution on the basis of need,
after investigation and approval by
the regular committee for the;
granting of such aid to all stu
dents, and (2) that athletic partici
pation shall not be a condition for
such aid."
No ‘‘Salaries”
The amendments further provide
that those grants in aid which arc
authorized by the rules cannot be
made "(a) by the institution by re
mitting (i.e., cancelling) the pay
ment of tuition; (b) directly or
indirectly out of athletic, Associat
ed Student or institutional funds,
except through competitive schol
arships as specified in the preced
ing paragraph. ‘Directly or indi
rectly’ as used herein shall be con
strued to include payments from
funds derived from athletic, Asso
ciated Student or institutional sour
ces, whether routed through other !
committees, officers, or agents of
the institution, or other organiza
tions or individuals (,alumni or oth-!
erwisc), or through the general
funds of the institution. ‘Athletic
funds’ shall include funds secured
by ‘‘subscription’ or ‘donations’ in
return for which tickets or adnils
: ions to athletic events are given
to the ‘subscriber’ or ‘donor,’ as an
inducement to subscribe or give.”
The foregoing rule -, a.; well as
others adopted by the conference,
arc not retroactive but do become
effective immediately
It should be. understood that tin
foregoing rules do not r< present
the entire legislative prrgram
adopted by the ccifc.f^cce c.t :t,
iott&i mfcfctuag.
Borrevik Leads
Frosh Scorers;
Kirsch Second
Ducklings Tackle
Dallas, Winged 'M'
In Home Games
Wally Borrevik, six foot eight
inch center from Reedsport, took
over scoring leadership in the Uni
versity of Oregon freshman bas
ketball team this week after ac
counting for 34 points in two week
end games.
Borrevik has scored 31 field
goals and 9 free throws in the
Ducklings’ nine games to date for
a total of 71 points. Next in line is
Don Kirsch, diminutive guard, 13
inches shorter than Borrevik, with
49 points. Other high scorers are
Warden Taylor, 40; Quentin Side
singer, 43; Bob Oliver and Jake
Werschkul, 27 each, and Walt
Reynolds, 26.
The Ducklings have scored 368
points in winning eight of their
nine opening tests against 24S for
opponents.
Frosh l’lay Here
Next games for the promising
first-year team are against Dallas
high school and the Multnomah
club intermediates here Friday and
Saturday. Both games will be
played in the afternoon, starting at
4 o’clock, in McArthur court. There
will be no admission charge.
Yesterday Honest John Warren,
frosh mentor, drove his charges in
a long scrimmage session with
Howard Hobson’s varsity. Only
yearling not available at present
is Jake Werschkul, big forward
from Portland, who is still limping
around on an injured ankle.
Lineup Against Dallas
Probable starting lineup for the
frosh this weekend lists Taylor and
Sidesinger at the forward berths,
Borrevik at the pivot position, and
John Tuttle and Kirsch at the
guard slots.

Washington Contest
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
Coach Hoc Edmundson, leader of
those Washingtonian hoopers, will
probably bring his squad of basket
ball players onto Eugene’s campus
sometime today to play the fea
ture attraction of Dads’ Day I
against Oregon Friday and Satur
day.
Racehorse, fire department,
track—almost any such adjective
would characterize the type of ball
expected by fans over the week
end. Both teams love to run and
run and “spray your shots at the
basket and take your percentage,”
as Indianans call it.
Coach Hobby Hobson has been
preparing his team for the Huskies
, and may have found a winning
combination in the new lineup
started against Washington last
Saturday night. That starting five
saw Hank Anderson and Captain
John Dick at forwards, Archie
Marshik at center, and Vic Town
send and .George (Porky) Andrews
at guards.
Oregon Taller
Mainly because of the increased
height under the backboards with
Anderson, Marshki, and Dick ta.k
ing the rebounds Oregon won the
game. The Ducks lost Friday night.
It is considered unlikely by “bal
cony coaches,” but fans may see
some shooting as witnessed in the
Igloo last year between the two
teams. In the first four minutes of
the second half of one the games,
21 points were marked up.
Huskies Strong
Four of Washington’s last year’s
starters graduated but that failed
to stop Edmundson. He has de
veloped a team that lost two of a
three-game series to one of the
running powers of the Midwest,
Minnesota, and has spljt with Ore
gon and Washington State in con
ference play. On the side the Hus
kies have taken two straight games
from Montana.
Edmundson has two gootl guards
in Bob and Jack Voelker, brothers,
who work together well. Bob has
recently developed a one-handed
shot from the side of the basket.1
At center there is bjg Hal Schliot- !
mg. Bob Lindh, Bob Dorr, or Harry '
Nelson will probably start at for
wards. Nelson scored 20 points in
one of the Montana games.
