DUCKTRACKS V || By SAM FIDMAN Emerald Sports Editor Some good ideas have taken root, and they have lost ground due to one reason or another. One that seemed pretty fair at its birth was the Frosh versus the intramural all-stars basketball game which pioved to be a real dillv two years ago. The reason for the sudden death of the project does not seem too apparent— iii Liieu uiic meeting at lvic Arthur Court, the intramural crew ran the yearlings into the ground. One Carl Heldt, now locally defunct, had charge of the “Webfootsies” and after the tussle, had more ill-will to spread about the IM stars than oqe Carter has pills. Quite a few of the boys who “showed up” the Frosh are still around campus, and certain lev els of IM basketball are certain ly right up there when it comes to a display of hoop know-how and ability. Don Kirsch’s Frosh are one of the best groups of one-year -^men in many a four-year span. They have robed up a record of DON KIRSCH vvma agamsL uiuj uuc ueiear, anci tneir last game is set tor tins evening at the Oregon State Rook stronghold in Corvallis. In Case of Objection Coach Kirsch, according to reliable reports, would not be ad verse to lining up another game or two for his outfit—and the IM boys are easily more than willing to appear on the old Igloo playing floor. An opportune time to stage the clash might be before the’ OSC-Oregon efffair Saturday—but in case there would be too much objection that the IM stars have not had enough time to workout together, etc., etc., the date could well be set for the fol: lowing Friday. In case the latter idea holds a fuller percentage of H20, the powers that be might unite their Weyerhauser-ridden clavicals and think up a coinciding affair for Friday night; or maybe the University of Oregon campus is too socially elite for an informal juke box drag—. Don Kirsch, who has really been earning his pay during the last few weeks, has sent out the big call. All prospective frosh and varsity baseball candidates have been asked to turn out today for an important confab at 6:30, in 101 P.E. Kirsch asked that those who hope to don the Oregon diamond grab arrange their spring schedules so that they will be free after three o’clock every afternoon. Down the Fairways As an added feature, movies of the 1949 World Series will be ^shown at this afternoon’s meeting. Kirsch also announced that pitchers will start working the kinks and rusty particles out of their arms this weekend. Of course, where there is a pitcher there has to be—you’ve guessed it—a catcher. So, the give and take of baseball will start the grind earl)-, with infielders and outfielders coming in for their licks starting March 6. On the fairways, we understand that varsity mentor Sid Mil ligan has arranged for a freshman golf squad, to begin this spring. A schedule is being korked out so that all interested may be able to register under varsity golf, so as to receive credit. Play will be at Laurelwood, with qualifying rounds slated for the first twoo weeks of spring term. There will be a meeting next Mon day, at 4:30, in the office of the director of athletics, of all persons interested in Frosh or Varsity golf. Kirsh Calls Baseball Meeting; Freshmen Golfers to Organize (Continued from page four) Playwill be held at Lauralwood golf course where arrangements are now in progress; qualifying held during first two weeks of spring term.

Kirsch also announced that pitch ers and catchers will start working out this weekend, and the infielders and outfielders will begin working March 6. Co-ed Where is Elsie?

Interpretive Reporter Answer, Not Blame for Distrust of Press The answer, not the blame, for the increasing lack of faith in the press lies in the interpretive re porter who interprets the news, ac cording to Marquis Childs who spoke to the Oregon Press Confer ence, last Friday. Childs’ state ment was incorrectly reported in a recent Emerald. Childs spoke on “The Role of the Interpretive Reporter” at the con ference Friday. He also commented on President Truman’s recent “negative” atti tude toward the working press, and compared Truman’s attitude to that of Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover, during the last years of their office. “The same attitude prevails in the State Department,” said Childs. “They said it is impossible to con duct a cold war with a press like the American press.” In further discussing the role of the interpretive reporter, Childs said that the reporter “must have a mature understanding of his re sponsibilities and functions and that editors must trust and rely on such reporters.” He also expressed the view that the interpretive reporter is obli gated to present the points of view that might otherwise be ex cluded. Chapman Mov/e Satire on War “Generals Without Buttons,” a satire on the causes of war, will be shown in 207 Champman tonight at 7 and 9 p. m. as one in the series of Wednesday nigtit movies. The film is about two French villages who have feuded for sev eral generations, until the children of the village finally take over the fighting. When the children real ize the silly prejudice and the fu tility of the affair, they call off the war, only to find that their parents r«new the struggle. The theme is brought out at the end of the story by one of the chil dren remarking, “I suppose when we grow up we’ll be as stupid as they are.” “Directors Jacques Daroy and Eugene Deslaw have used a cast of eager, fresh child actors,” to portray the young warriors in the French film,” Time magazine states. • ' Students must show their stu dent body cards for admission to the showings, open to students and faculty members only. 'La Traviata' Film Tonight, Tomorrow “La Traviata,” the fifth foreign movie, will be presented tonight and tomorrow night at the May flower Theater.
