\ ictor O, Schmidt, commissioner of the Pacific Coast (.Conference,
.was at McArthur court Tuesday, on his annual spring tour of the
conference, hast fall on his visit here, he had outlined to us the desires
.of the conference in regard to de-emphasis of college athletics which
were later presented at the January meeting of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association in Cincinnati, < >hio.
Step in Right Direction
( ommeutiiig on the degree of success met by these proposals,
Schmidt said:
“The conference did not adopt our proposed resolution to
instruct the rules committee to amend the free substitution rule
.so as to outlaw free substitution (the platoon system). Also,
they did nat accept our amendment to abolish spring football
practice completely. But they did make one significant advance
in that spring football sessions are now limited to 20 £pr all
... (members of the NCAA) ... We feel that this will do much
to put competition on a more equal basis, for this conference,
at least. Foremerly, many conferences allowed more dr less
Htolimited spring drills, while we of the PCC enforced a rule
limiting th enumber of sessions to 30.”
“Since almost all our intersect ion;d competition is with schools
w hich are NCAA members, this w ill put all our opjxments on an equal
. had-, w ith ns in regard to practice time spent out of season."
Spring basket 1 mil practice received the same 20-drill limitation by
the NCAA, but here again the more stringent PCC has completely
aboli-hed it. Kxplaining this tendency of the PCC to pioneer reduc
tion iu spring practice sessions for all sports, Schmidt said:
Spring Practice Develops Pressure
"(inr feeling is that indiscriminated spring sessions are hound to
hro>mc too'competitive and tend to develop unhealthy pressure upon
t 1m.- coarhgs at ft] athletes to keep up \s ith other schools.”
"We do think," he continued," that regulated and reasonable spring
drills are heneficial."
How well, he was asked, is the new two-shots-for-a-defensive-foul
rule working in Northern Division basketball comjxttition this season ?
"I haven’t gotten the opportunity to check with all the
coaches as yet, but I do know that the foul total for the North
ern Division is definitely lower, and that was the express pur
pose of the rule."
Schmidt said that basketball officiating should he uniform through
out both the Northern and Southern I Jivisions of the conference, since
there is an overall sujtervisor of officials, and many officials rotat<
1 ictween divisions. Several years ago, it was generally thought that
Southern Division referees were most lenient in whistling down vio
lations, especially in the backcourt, but Schmidt believes that any
inequalities have been done away with.
On Picking All-Star Teams
In reference to referees, they certainly have a tough task. Hut
another job which is almost as tough is that of picking all-star teams:
especially mWi»u»ural all-star teams at the University of Oregon.
There was a letter in Wednesday's Kmcrald from Hill Owen, which
intimated that the.pickers of the all-star team were either utterly in
eonipetent, or prejudiced, or blind, or something.
The letter further stated it was difficult for “those interested
in the facts on campus sports” to get any "factual information
by reading articles printed throughout the season” in what was
later playfully referred to as the “Daily (UGH) Emerald.”
It was also suggested in closing that (you should excuse the ex
pressiou) “activity points” he awarded to “more observant and com
petent journalists in the future.”
Well, there is one thing we should like to suggest. If any
readers of the “Daily (UGI1) Kmcrald" wish to offer their serv
ices toward the achievement of a higher standard of journal
istic objectivity and accuracy, we will receive them with open
arms.
Especially if they don’t split infinities, whatever that is, or
get their tenses mixed up. Come on down and help us on the
“Daily (UGH) Emerald,” Mr. Owen. We’ve got activity points
for you galore.

Hawes, Duck Guard,
Earns Starting Berth
By Martin Meadows
A latc-season spurt has moved
sophomore Bob Hawes into strong
contention for one of the starting
positions on Coach Bill Borcher's
Oregon basketball team.
Hawes, a six-footer who hails
from Bend, Oregon, has improved
to the extent that he is currently
the fourth highest Duck point
maker in Northern Division play,
despite the fact that he did not
see mueh action in pre-season
competition.
At Bend high school, Bob, an
education major, had four years
of varsity experience on the hoop
squad. During his junior and sen
ior years his team made the trip
to the state tournament at Eu
gene. It was during his junior year
that Hawes was chosen to the sec
ond string All-State team as Bend
wound up third in the playoffs.
Bob also was on the All-Big Six
league group for two years, and in
1950 he tied Eugene's Dean Par
sons for the conference scoring
leadership.
As a freshman Hawes was on
the first string Yearling crew
which swept to a record of 15
triumphs out of 16 games, includ-!
ing 7 out of 8 from the OSC frosh. j
Bob was third in the frosh scoring !
totals that season.
Another sport which interests j
Bob is swimming, and he is good
enough to be a life guard at Bend I
during the summer. He has also!
won several diving meets around \
his home town.
Bob comes from a large family, I
which numbers four brothers and
three sisters. Basketball talent
seems to run in the family, for his
older brother Darrell was recently
selected to the first string Intra
mural All-Star team.
With two years of competition j
remaining for him, Bob is one
of the promising Webfoots per
formers who add a hopeful tint
to.Oregon's basketball future un
der first year mentor Borcher.

Baseball Practice
Held in PE Building
Baseball practice has gotten un
der way in the unfinished area of
the P.E. building.
Each day, at designated times,
different players take their turns
in the nets, which are erected to
deflect balls during batting prac
tice.
Each player is allowed approxi
mately 15 minutes of hitting in
side the net. Bunting and form
ire stressed, as each player bunts
from three to five minutes before
swinging.
In this way, Coach Don Kirsch
hopes to whip his regulars into
good shape before the season
starts in early March.
Ball Comes Back
FORT WORTH, Tex. (U.R) Gene
Murray teed off at the Colonial
Club course with a mighty stroke.
The ball went 25 yards, hit a tree,
and bounced back. Murray, with
out moving from his tracks, reach
edout and caught it in his hand.
Sianals Mixed
HUNTINGTON, W. Va. (U.R)—A
mixup in signals between Bar
boursville and Montgomery high
schools ruined a scheduled basket
ball ga mebetween the schools. The
game wasn’t played. Montgomery
had gone to Barboursville and vice
versa.
Most of the public land under
the jurisdiction of the bureau of
land management can be used at
the same time for two or more
uses, such as forestry and graz
ing, or forestry, grazing, and wa
tershed protection.
BOB HAWES, a six-foot sopho
more from Bend, Oregon, is one
of the speedy guards employed
by Coach Borcher in his fast
breaking offense.
