Webfoots Stale? Something Wrong As Huskies Win _ ’ j Heavy Schedule Weighs On Lemon-Yellow, Mangum Thinks Fears Oregon on Skids With Playoff Nearing By HAROLD MANGUM Oregon fans have tasted defeat, and they do not fancy the exper ience. Not since 1925, when O. A. C. won the first of a three-game playoff series in the armory, lias an Oregon basketball quintet met defeat before , an Oregon crowd, so the sensation is [ new to the majority of the student | body. Comments have been as varied as they have been numerous. Two opinions seem to have over shadowed the others, though. ^ The commonest belief is that the Web foots were stale from too much bas ketball. The other is that they have not been taking things seriously enough, and have deteriorated from | lack of practice. Certain it is that the lemon-yellow , five which bowed ignominiously to , Washington last Saturday night was no more like the Webfoot quintet that smothered the Huskies, 50 to 25, at Seattle than an organ grinder is like a symphony orchestra. Team Looks Stale The team played lackadaisical ball Saturday. There are no arguments there. The men missed shot after shot ^ that would have been easy three ; weeks ago, and were puzzled by a defense that proved simple at Se attle. The men were tired and over drawn. Their eyes lacked lustre, and their demeanor was that of a gang of second-raters rather than a crew which had just won a championship. There are many reasons to ex plain this showing, or which would appear to explain it, and not one of them is intended as an alibi. Heaven forbid! The Huskies played superior ball last Saturday night, and de served to win. 24 Contests Won For one thing—that lemon-yel- . low team, even though it looked bad in losing, has piled up a record this | yeaT that is hard to beat. It has won 24 out of 20 games, and has scored a grand total of 1078 points against 575 for all opposition. Trans- j lated to averages, Oregon has awin ning percentage of .962, and has scored an average of 42 points a game as against 22 for opponents. That’s not bad. The terrific strain of this schedule, which has stretched from late in December, 1926, to March, 1927, may be seen in comparing it with the competition met in other sports. Ap proximately seven football games are played, including two practice , mixes. fijix swimming meets were staged during the past season, but ! the times of competition wore very small as the men were limited to three events each, and most of them participated in ony one or two. Not more than ton or eleven baseball games are played, and no one will say that baseball is as strenuous as the court sport. A track team that has three or four lull'd meets con siders itself overworked. With this in view, it is safe to say that basketball requires as much energy, exclusive of practice, as all ! the other sports put together. Another factor is the attitude of the student body. It is used to winning, and can’t adjust itself to ■•a loss. The team has won for so long, that winning has come to be taken as a matter of course, like eream on the cereal. Dozens of good features have been overlooked in the rush for the good old gavel. A team that can pile up 1078 points in one season can’t. be wholly ft loss. We could babble right along, but tomorrow is another day. 1 SPORTS by the Emerald Sporf Staff , Tracksters Held Competition on Field Saturday Ed Crowley Shows Goo<l Form in Pole Vault; Wetzel Wins Shot The University of Oregon fresh man and varsity track men held their second weekly competition Sat urday on Hayward field. The driz zling rain that fell during the after noon kept the men from showing anything unusual in the way of dis tances or time. Ed Orowlev, veteran vaulter, showed good early season form in his event by clearing the bar at 11 feet 0 inches. Crowley won his letter in his affair last year and looks as if he may be a good point gatherer this season. The varsity weight event went to Vic Wetzel at 45 feet 7 inches. He also tied for first place in the high jump at five feet five inches. * Bill Irawford and Ralph McCulloch, who are (Eligible for competition as soon as they re-enter school, also took part in the high jump. McCulloch cleared the bar at 5 feet 9 inches before he was forced to retire. Both these men will probably be in school next term. Because of the cold weather and because races were run over un usual distances no time was taken in those events. The results: 75 yard dash varsity: Bill Pren lergast and Vic Wetzel tied for first; Alex Scott, third; Don Hen dricks, fourth. 150 yard dash var nty: .Toe Price, first; Joe Standard, second; Don Jeffries, third; Paul niark, fourth. 440 yard run for half oilers, varsity: W.

A. C. finishing in the record time of jo7 flat, while McCook of Oregon finished ahead of Markuson of the Aggies for sec ond. Reid of Oregon lost the 440 ! yard freestyle by less than ten feet t when Hover of the Aggies spurted : at the finish and passed him. At this point Oregon was lead ; ing, 33 to 30 with only the relay : remaining. At the start of the final lap, Boggs had a small lead over Peterson of the Aggies but was un equal to the task and lost the race by less than three feet. The frosh-rook meet was produc tive of few thrills as the frosh were too good for the O. A. C. youngsters. Sheehan of the rooks won the in itial race, the 40-yard freestyle, and was the only rook to capture a first. Anderson Wins Easily The expected battle between Johnny Anderson of the frosh and Slieebah in the 100-vard freestylve failed to materialize as Anderson took a good lead at the start and came in far ahead of the field in' the record time of :57.4. Silverman of the fro3h swam the 220-yard freestyle in 2:44, which bettered the varsity 220 by a good margin. Anderson was high point man with ten points.

I told him I didn’t have much to recommend myself except that I was ambi tious and had nice folks. Then he asked me if could write ads! I told him I didn’t know. I’d never tried. He didn't ask me if I could run a locomotive or play the piano. If he had, I’d have told him the same thing. I never wrote an ad in my life. But I got the job! And now it’s up to me to deliver or starve. This is my opener. Guess I won’t talk shop this time. Next week I’ll see if I can’t tell you something interesting about Skeies Jewelry business.
