MEPFOTiD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOIiD, OREGON, THUESPAY, DECEMBER 29, 1932 PAfiE TWO IN RETURN TILT FRIDAYJVENING Reinhart Determined to Wipe Out Stain of Defeat at Hands of Hobson's Crew Fiery Game Expected CoMh Billy Reinhart will pit his Oregon University cage quint agalnit Howard Hobson's Southern Oregon Normal outfit In Ashland Friday night !n a return game which should provide plenty of fireworks. . The var sity machine will be In better form and strength than In the first das, two weeks ago. when they suffered a 17-polnt defeat at the hands of his former pupil. Hobson. The yellow and lemon squad Is en route home after a barnstorming In vasion of California, during which they have acquitted themselves well, winding up their efforts with a 19 to IB victory over St. Mary's In Oakland last night. The giant Ashland crew is also re turning from a barnstorming Jaunt, arriving today from Portland where they gained considerable prestige by their fast and aggressive brand of ball. The Webfoots will have an edge on the Normalltes with the return to the lineup of "Cap" Roberts, lanky center, rated among the best on. the coast, and Ollnger. flashy guard, both of whom were missing on the team's p-ovious stop In Ashland, owing illness. Due to the smoothlng-out undci gone during their barnstorming trip both teams are expected to display much better type of basketball th in their first clash in Ashland. Reserved seats may be obtained Medford at Brown's and the Togge: and In Ashland at Ninlnger's. A p" llmlnary game will start at 7 p. m. canzonerTbest SrOTLIGHT ON SPORTS By Arthur i?ehoenl. . . Some fellows Just can't aiuy out of troubu Take our old friend and acquaintance, John J. ( McEwan, who used to coach at . ; the University of Oregon and later at Holy Cross. Cap Is a T cenlal gent, with a big, glad ':hnd:.for everyone, and a great ::. r'Ilow;:;to..get along with "the Cap. :ts th.troxible back at Holy Cross nbwi;:;Ve !.as fired after the Brown gam;' over a squabble with author ities, and pe'a now fighting the re moval in cpurt. His contract baa a year more to run. The University of Oregon had rea son to be sorry It nad a three-year contract with" McEwai a few years back. McEwan ran Into trouble with the students by refusing to take a student manager on tht Florida trip. He refused to be bound by the gradu ate manager's budget and spent mon ey like water. Finally, Doc Hall had to ask McEwan to leave, but the cagey form West Point coach quit only after they had paid him about $8,000 on his next years wages, for which he had a contract. McEwan probably will quit at Holy Cross, but the fathers back there will have to come through with a fat percentage of his 1933 wages before he does. That's our guess. t Cap Isn't the only one who Is vacating his coaching position. The nation this winter Is seeing Its biggest crop of vacant Jobs In football coaching what a break for the boys who are looking for' something to do. Mai Stevens quit at Yale to be a doctor, Pop Warner deserted Stanford for Temple, Alonzo 3tagg retired from Chicago, Bob Waddell stepped out as Carnegie Tech coach to enter busi ness. Major Sasse quit at West Point. Fordham, College of the Pacific. Ken tucky and a host of others are look ing for new coaches. Oh, for a big name and a knowledge of football! The tendency with many colleges Is to hire some well known alumnus to coach its football team. Howard Harps tar, ail-American quarterback in 1028, la going back to coach at Car negie Tech nxt fall. Hunk Ander son used to be a Notre Dame player Prink Calllson played center for Old Oregon back In 1919, and played against ts reat Eddie Casey In the Oregon -Harvard Rose Bowl game Casey now coaches Harvard. Incidentally, that Oregon-Harvard game marked the last time that the oast has won the Rose Bowl classic. From 1920 to 19.12, each year has seen the nest's fin est gridiron warriors humble the easterners. Sout hern California has better Mian an even chance , to defeat the twice tied Pitts burgh Panthers New Year's day and make It the 1.1th straight win. if you are superstitious, you will sny that 13 Is unlucky and the east will break the spell of the Pacific Personally, we think It's Just so much Intellec tual spinach, this superstition.
