Recommendation Expected
To Be Made To Council
At Next Meeting
Probable Choice Was For
mer American Half-Back
On Mystic Team
"Dick" Smith, former Oregon and
Columbia all-Amcricnn halfback,
looms as Oregon's new football coach.
The athletic committee is being be
seeched by the Oregon alumni of Eu
gene and the stutc to select Mr. Smith
ns Joe Muddock's successor. This
committee will.' undoubtedly make
some report to executive council this
week. Dr. Delbert Stsnnrd of Eugenj,
alumni representative, went ao fnr
ns to say that he personally thinks
the j council could ..make no better
choice. He qualified . his ' 'statement,
however, by Baying that he siiokr as
an Individual and not ns n reprcsentn
Uve" of the alumni,
Committee to Act.
Virgil D. Eurl, athletic director,
wna unnvniliiblc so no statement could
come from him. lie makes the recom
mendation for coai'Ji to tho athletic
committee,' which is composed of
Bandall Jones, president, and Victor
Kisley, vice-president of the student
body; Dr. Delbert tstnnnrd, alumni
rcprescntntive; Trofessor H. C.
Howe, faculty representative; Mr.
Earl and Jnck V. Honeficl, graduate
mannger. Jack W. Bcnefiol, secretary
of the committee, issued the following
statement.-
No Meotlna Held.
'The Athletic committee has uot
met to consider the selection of iKXt
season' coch but undoubledlyj will
early iu the week. No meeting li.ix
lieen held wince on Mr. Mndilo'k's re
fusiil iii he a cHndiiinte.' (
11 leeins, that while Muddock's res
ignatiun was n complete surprise to
those mi the campus, Mr. Earl and
Ihe otjicr members of the athletic
committee mure or less expected it
for some time, as tn his correspond
ence with Mr. Knrl he expressed un
certainty as to his ability to dispose
of his business in Idaho Fnlls, Idaho,
nnd to some here as a full time conch,
ns was the desire of the executive
council.
Backed By Alumni.
Alumni interests have for tiie pat
several yearn been octivo" in sug
gesting lhk Smith as advisory ur
graduate roach. Last year, lie ussit
ed Maddock thd weeks before the
Washington and O. A. C. games, and
the foothnll letterinen nrc confident
that he can "put it over." Although
he has not been actually conrhiii;; for
many years, he mniiya his been a
student of tlu game and Jiiis kept up
wilh Ihe modem style of piny.
Smith ployed a. Oregon for four
yenrs. Later he went to Columbia,
where he completed his law, At
Columbia he played four years being
selected twice on Walter Camp's ail
American team, and in (he last year
was both captain and .'conch at that
school. . .
On leaving Columbia he coach?d
several yenra at Oregon in conneo
tion'with bis law practice, which iie
has since mnintal&ed in Eugene.
While the committee haa nnnoune
ed It has not met tn consider th
coaching situation, several of the
committee members, who have ln
interviewed relative to Dlcg Smith's
appointment, will not deny Iliat he
has been considered as a aiicwwr lo
Maridork, In the erent that Maddock
would not return.

FORESEEN -IN
Sixth Year Of Prohibition
. To Meet Alterations In
All Departments
Roy Haynes Likely To Re
tiro From Service In
Near Future
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. OP)
Tho sixth year of national prohibition
has been ushered in with auguries of
change in both personnel nnd methods
of tho federul enforcement corps.'
Roy A. Hnynes, field mnrslinl of
enforcement since enrly iu tho Hard
ing ndminlHtrntton, scorns likely to be
repluced by some one wlio heretofore
has viewed the government's prohibi
tion activities from a distance and
who will bring to the service enforce
ment opinions of his owu.
Bootleggers Opposed
Meantime it has been jvcaletl at
the White House iu the most author
itative mrinriotr tlitt PfcMoVnt CooK
idgc would like to sco federal agents
givo their major .attention to, boot
leggers and not to hlppocket flaslis
and that, he docs not favor a bill
reported by the house judiciary com
mittco, making it mandatory for
courts to impose . juil sentences on
those couvictcd of breaking the Vol
stead act.
At the same time it was implied
but not stated specifically that the
administration' might look with fav
or on the Cramton bill removing the
prohibition unit from tho internal
revenue bureau and making it an in
dependent bureau itself under the
treasury department.
Bill la Endorsed
Consumers of industrial alcohol
appearing before committees of con
gress have in some cases opposed
the Cramton bill if prohibition is to
remain aa it Is and Mr. Hnynea is
to have control over the release of
alcohol for industrial purposes. The
Anti-Saloon league hns endorsed the
bill and at the same time has defend
ed repeatedly tho methods of Mr.
Haynes.
It appeared likely today that the
present prohibition commissioner
might remain on Uic job pending pas
sage of the Cramton bill but would
be expected totcp out in the course
of re-organization that would put it
into effect. His successor hns not
been selected.

KENDRIGK BILL
IS IN HARMONY
Financial Program Of Pres
ident Conforms With
The Measure
Better Housing Conditions
Included In Plan A3
Explained Today
, WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. The
senate irrigation committee today
was informed that the bill of Senator
Kendrick, democrat of Wyoming, pro
vided aid to settlers on new irrigation
projects is not in cuiflict with Presi
dent Coolidge's financial program, it
was learned here today,
f At henrings before the committee
Senator Kendrick explained that his
bill authorises advances by the gov
ernment from tho reclamation fund of
sixty per cent of the value of per
manent Improvements or livestock of
4 settler up to $3000. The settler
.would pay four per cent interest and
provide 40 per vent-of the cost of
improvements beroro 1 the - loan is
made. Other projects to which the
bill will apply, according to the report
of Assistant Secretary Eiunoy of the
Interior department, ore tho Kittltns.
Baker nnd Owyhee, now under Con
struction, ''.
Measure Endorsed
Commissioner .Mend nnd Director
Kreutzer of the economic division of
the reclamation bureau endorsed the
measure. .Mr, Mead explained that the
scheme followed the program of other
nations In movements to settle lands
and whs designed to eunblc settlers
of small means to meet conditions.
Senator Kendrick recalled poor
housing conditions on irrigation pro
jects and declared that under the hill
his condition would be eliminated.
"The desirable thing about the
plnn," Kreutser said, "la that the gov
ernment Is the settlers' only creditor
and by the same token the govern
ment Is the only agency with any con
trol over the assets nf the settlers."
Consideration Asked.
Enrly 'and favorable consideration
of the hill was n'ked in a letter to
day tn CJinirman MiNnry by Secre
tary Work,
It is believed that if the feature of
reclnmntion embodied in Ihe measure
under consideration !ind been a par.ty
of the original act, Work wrote, "It
W'ould have saved many worthy set
tlers their farms, hastened Ihe return
of money expended on works and ren
dered unnecessary adjust menls which
now confront this department nnd
congress."
Giving his approval to the hill, Sec
retary Work pointed out Hint Ihe
legislation hnd been recommended by
the fact-finding commission though n
five per cent rate of interest first hail
been suggested.
"Further study by this depart
ment," he continued." Indicated that
Ihe money could he provided at four
per cent without any burden on the
reclamation fund and that this differ
ence In Interest would enable five per
cent pnymenla to include both princi
pal and Intercut."
