Billy Hulen Says:
Crow's Nest Plan
Disliked In Test
At National Meet
After meeting with almost
unanimous approval wherever
it was given a trial in Oregon,
the "crow'i nest" method of
basketball officiating was any
thing but a success when It was
tried out at the recent National
Intercollegiate Basketball tour
nament at Kansas City, so states
United Press dispatch In an
Ashland newspaper.
Jean Eberhart'i Innovation
was praised highly after its use
at the Oregon Intercollegiate
tourney, in a couple of games in
Ashland and one in Jacksonville
but evidently It was too much of
an Improvement over the regu
lation system of "calling 'em"
for the big-wigs in the mid-west
to appreciate.
Here Is what the U. P. yarn
aid:
The fans didn't think much
of the 'eagle-nest' refereeing
novelty tried out during the
National Intercollegiate tourna
ment at Kansas City. Perched
over the goals the referees an
nounced their penalties into
microphones. But sometimes
they both talked at once, which
confused everyone and brought
jeers from the stands. The new
idea originated in Ashland, Ore
gon." The Ashland paper, staunch
ly defending the idea, remark
ed: "It appears here that the
officials either were Ineffici
ent to the point where they
could not recognise the center
stripe and thus work their
own and of the floor, or else,
partial to the old system,
they sought to deliberately
sabotage the crow's nest use
. by their uncalled-for filibus
ter." Ray pumont, the man who
put semi-pro baseball on the
athletic map In a large way, is
of the opinion that more night
baseball will be played in the
"bushes" this year than ever
before.
. A press dispatch from Du
mont's headquarters in Wichita,
Kan., said that It seemed reason
ably certain "federal approval
may be obtained for lighting
baseball fields under certain
conditions. This mainly would
be to limit the installation of
auch lighting areas where there
are war Industries. Flood light
ing projectors which are made
wholly of non-critical material
have been developed and will
soon be on the market."
In the future, when they talk
about great Oregon State ath
letes, the name of Eureka, Cali
fornia's Don Durdsn will prob
ably be the most prominent.
For Durdan competing for
the last time in his three ma
jor sports, was a member of
three championship teams.
That record, to our knowledge
is unequalled .tmong schools
. of the northern division of the
- Pacific Coast conference.
Last spring Don played on
the Beaver baseball club, which
annexed the northern division
title. And if our memory serves
correctly, he was not among
those missing when Oregon
State spanked Duke in the Rose

Jeff Cravath Named Head Grid
NEW COACH QUITS
POSITION AT USF
Cravath Given Customary
One-Year Contract No
Mention Made of Salary
By Robert Myers
Los Angeles, March 19 VP)
Quiet, unassuming Newell Jef
ferson (Jeff) Cravath takes over
the troubled gridiron fortunes
of his alma mater, the Univer
sity of Southern California.
Pupil and protege of the late
Howard Harding Jones, Cravath
stepped out of the head coaching
position at the University of San
Francisco and into the spot left
vacant by his friend and former
associate, Sam Barry.
Dr. Rufus B. Van KlelnSmid.
president of U. S. C, announced
Cravath's appointment, which
had been expected ever since
Barry resigned to accept a com
mission In the United States
navy.
Cravath was given a one-year
contract, which was the custom
Cor Howard Jones and Barry
during his one year at the head
of U. S. C. football. Nothing
was said about salary.
Job For Duration
But Dr. Von KleinSmid made
it plain that Cravath, 37, an all-
Pacific Coast cotiference center
at U. S. C. in 1826. could keep
the Job for the duration.
Popular with players and
alumni alike, Cravath severed
his Trojan connection' last year
to Coach San Francisco U. to
five victories, four defeats and
a record as the highest scoring
eleven on the west coast.
He retained some of the vaunt
ed conservatism of his teacher,
Jones, but like Barry at U S. C.
gave the so-called radical typi
of play a flyer and came up with
an Interesting football machine
He had a three-year contract
at S. F. U., but the bay city
institution voided the agreement
when the U. S. C. offer present
ed itself.
Al Tassl. Cravath's assistant,
was made head coach at San
Francisco. He was one of the
greatest centers ever to play at
Santa Clara U.
Ex-Stanford Coach
New Cougar Menicr
Pullman, Wash., March 19.
VP) Succeeding Jack Weirs
hauser who has been called by
the navy, W. B. (Bill) Elllnston
former Stanford university head
track coach, will begin work
next week as track mentor at
Washington State college to
complete the 1942 season.
Welrshauser was formerly El
lington's assistant at Stanford
and last year, In his first season
at W.S.C., guided trackmen to
the northern division cham
pionship. He will leave Thurs
day, Bowl football game after captur
