A Great Victory. Bob-Sledding. 'Davis’ Punts. -By DICK KEUBERGER Extra! Bulletin: Flash! Bless us if Oregon didn’t beat those Cougars last night. What an achievement that is for Bill Reinhart and his lads—two vic tories in a row over a team that nobody thought could be beaten! Levoff was the lad who got Oregon started, and it did n’t take Cap Roberts, Jack Rob ertson, Cliff Potter and Captain Windy Calkins long to follow in his tracks. It was a great game and a great victory. Let’s hope it hap pens again tonight, One of the most enthusiastic rooters tor Oregon was Slat Gill, Oregon State’s coach. He wants Bill Reinhart’s boys to get the Cou gars out of the way so his team will have another crack at that championship. * # * ^^IRPLANES and racing automo biles may be more dangerous than bob-sleds, but that Mount slide at Lake Placid is no place for the old Flexi ble Flyer. Wher they begin tc make bob-sled; that bullet through a chute of solid ice at more than 80 miles an hour, nuuu i/iivis xo OU1I1C element of risk involved in riding such a vehicle. The sleds are only a flimsy skeleton of latticed steel and oak, so it is no easy matter to remain seated upon them. They have to be balanced as dextrously as a bicycle or scooter. Because of the extreme speed the sleds attain, it is not difficult to imagine the peril connected with losing one’s balance or running in to the side of the ice chute. Did you ever look out the window of a train traveling 40 miles an hour and contemplate what would hap pen should you jump? Double the speed and the subsequent results of such a mishap and you have some idea of what would happen at the winter Olympic games should one of the bob-sleds meet with misfor tune. One accident of serious propor tions already has occurred on Mount Van Houevenberg. The German four-man team catapult ed clear over the crest of the chute when it attempted to ne- | gotiate one of the more diffi- j cult zig-zag curves. All four | riders were injured severely, the steersman suffering a fractured skull. Everything possible to attain greater speed has been done at the winter Olympics. The start of the bob-sled chute is almost perpendicular. The curves have been banked so expertly that men with plenty of courage and skill can take them at full speed. The sleds have been constructed on a more elongated plan and just before the takeoff the run ners are heated to a white-hot degree with an acetylene torch. Most persons put their tongues ir. their cheeks when they think of sled-racing as a sport, but it’s a far, far cry from coasting the old Flexible Flyer down a snow-fluffed hill at home to steering a steel HEILIG SUNDAY STARTS AI iis ^ JAMES CAGNEY iu a role that fits him like,a. boxing glove! ~-4*3 with LORETTA YOUNG tEORGE E.

' Oregon Swim TeamToMeet O.S.C. Today Varsity and Duckling Squads To Compete Splashers Out To Shatter Several Pool Records In Corvallis Hungering for Beaver meat, the Oregon varsity and freshman swimming teams will leave this noon for Corvallis, where they will lock horns in dual meets with the O. S. C. natators, with water polo games being slated to be played after the meet events are out of the way. Jack Hewitt, swimming mentor, and Roy Brown, student manager, will accompany the i squads. The Ducklings are sehed | uled to meet the rooks at 2 p. m. I and the varsity to vie with the Orangemen at 7:30 p. m. Several members of the Web foot varsity aggregation are going to make determined efforts to break the pool records at Corval lis, most of these fast times there having been hung up by the Ore gon natators in past meets. Foster Out for Record Charlie Foster, Oregon varsity star, is out to destroy his own rec ord in the 440-yard swim. Paul Lafferty of the Webfoots will at tempt to knock into oblivion the 100-yard breast stroke record held by Steve Fletcher, one of the shin ing stars on last year’s Duck com bination. The Lemon and Yellow relay and medley relay squads are also figuring on manufacturing some new times. The varsity lineup: 400 foot relay — Hug, Oglesby, Pratt, and Needham. 100 yard breast stroke—Laffer ty and Fletcher. 100 yard back stroke—Brooke and F.

There's very little doubt about that. His accurate long-dis tance kicking was the main reason for what little success the Orange men enjoyed on the gridiron. When Oregon outgained the Beavers from scrimmage, Davis kept Ore gon State in the game with his arching spirals. Forced to kick from the territory just adjacent to his goal line repeatedly, Davis con sistently out-booted all Oregon’s efforts. Only his long thumps pre vented the Webfoots from over coming their old rivals. There were several other out standing punters on the coast, namely, Shaver of Southern Cali fornia, Watkins of California and Dahlen of Washington State, but none so good as Davis. If Oregon State's tall wingman were as out standing an end as he is a kicker, it would take a noteworthy oppon-! ent to keep him from being an AU Amcrican. Incidentally, he has an other season’s competition at Ore Coast Conference Standings Northern Division W. L. Pet.

This time it’s none other than Ray Stecker, the dashing West Point halfback, who made so many long runs last autumn. He's a varsity forward on the Army quintet this winter. His running mate is another football lumin ary, Ed Herb, plunging fullback on Major Sasee’s eleven. Trapshooting is the latest popu lar sport around here. Doc Spears took it up several weeks ago and already is an enthusiastic booster, Jim Troeh, brother of the world famous Frank Troeh, and a cham pion of no little celebrity himself, is teaching the local talent. If! * * Two Oregon basketball lads who have been overlooked in the gen eral scuffle this winter, but are al ways to be depended upon are Cap tain Winsor Calkins and Hank Le voff. These lads are steady but not spectacular. Their efforts are often overshadowed, but they’re valuable assets to the team. They both graduate this June. Oregon will mi§s them. * * Not one varsity football man is playing regularly on a northern division basketball team. That's an unusual situation. In past years there always have been at least one or two gridders employed reg ularly on the maple court. The nearest approaches this winter are Barrett and Lacey of Idaho, who are basketball regulars but were only football substitutes, and Chuck Wishard of Oregon and the large Pete Antoncich of Washing ton, who were football regulars but are only basketball substitutes. In the southern division there are three representatives of the basketball-football clan. Captain Dick Linthicum of U. C. L. A. was an end on the football team, and Bill Doub and Rudy Rintalla of Stanford held down respective po sitions of tackle and halfback on Pop Warner’s eleven. * * * See where George Sanders, trip le-threat sophomore football half back recently was the co-ed's choice for the most popular man at Washington State college. San ders is tall, has dark wavy hair and can dance almost as well as he throws forward passes. This means Mr. Sanders must be a pret ty fair dancer, for he can pass on a dime and whips the pikskin as accurately as a. pitcher throws a baseball. * * « Another of last night’s many surprises was Ike Donin’s appear ance in the game for Oregon. The ex-Lincoln high lad showed con siderable possibilities in the few minutes he was a member of the Webfoot team. He’s only a sopho more, so watch for him in the fu ture.

Next Tuesday To See Action In Mat Circles All - Campus Wrestling Tourney Ready Light-Heavy Division Holds Promise for Several Torrid Sessions The annual all-campus wrestling tourney is scheduled to get under ' way next Tuesday with over 25 • grapplers ready to demonstrate . their wares and the possibility of : a few more candidates signing up i at the gym office before the Mon day deadline. The heavyweight class is well | represented by three behemoths, Howard “Speed" Lewis, Jim Gem lo, and Howard Clark. Lewis was a bruising fullback on the yearling squad of two years ago, while Gemlo played frosh football last fall. Clark is another football player, having earned a letter on the varsity this season, but a rep utation as a wrestler has followed him up from California. The light-heavyweight scraps promise to furnish the best fire works of the tournament. Power ful Frank Keltner, who swept the division last year with a minimum of experience, has improved his technique considerably and should make a vigorous defense of his ti tle. George Minturn and Chuck Johnson are the aspirants for his throne. Johnson, “The Wild Bull of the Marshfield Pampas,” may prove stronger than Keltner but lacks the champ’s experience. Min turn ranks as a dark horse. 165-lb. Bracket Full The 165-pound bracket has drawn the largest turnout of any division. Walt McCaffery, Doc Kelliher, Charles Nicely, Joe Ren ner, John Haviland, and Omar Summers are all entered with the wild Scot, McCaffery, conceded the best chance of copping the cham pionship. Last year McCaffery put up a game struggle as a middle weight. The middleweight crown rests quite secure on Tom Mountain’s r Trials Are Listed Monday Evening for Amphibian, women’s swimming honorary, on Mon day, February 13, at 7:30 p. m. The requirements for Am phibian are: to have passed the senior life-saving examination or to pass it within the next two terms, and conform to the following standards: endurance, II lengths; form, 2 strokes; | speed, 1 stroke other than for form; diving, 1 standard dive I in good form. head as that veteran prepares for his third year of college competi tion. Mountain can topple most of the heavies and light heavies around the gym so Bob Nunn, Loyd Huff, and Kayo Mullins have a hard task ahead of them. Nunn and Mullins have demonstrated plenty of strength in their work outs, but it is doubtful whether they can cope with Mounrain’s skill. The 145-pound class brings Charles Martin, Freddy Sears, John Vernon, Ray Clapp, and Chuck Kleinegger together. Clapp is the favorite to annex this title. Wallace Miller, Glen Bechtold, and John Ruttencutter are the 135 pounders. John Sieverkropp is back to defend his 125-pound honors against Norman Burke and Otto Vonderheit. As per usual the bouts will start! at 4 o'clock on Tuesday, Wednes day, and Friday, each match con sisting of two four-minute rounds with two extra two-minute rounds in case neither of the contestants secure a fall or one minute’s ad vantage during the regulation period. Weighing-in will take place on Monday under the supervision of Earl Boushey and Clair Meisel, who will supervise the tourney. The men are allowed a three-pound leeway in making weight for any division except the heavy-weight, which is unlimited. Drawings will be made at this time for the pre liminaries on Tuesdays and Wed nesday. For Amphibians JTS will be held again ! Phi Delta Townies ! To Play Kappa Sig In Hoop Contest The first chapter of what prom ises to be an annual feud will be enacted today at 1 o'clock in the men's gym, when the town mem bers of Kappa Sigma meet those of Phi Delta Theta in basketball. Both teams have made great boasts as to their strength, but the betting is light on both sides. A loving ( ?) cup has been of fered for the winner of the tilt. The members of each team promise to give the opponents a hot fight, and it's a toss-up as to who will walk off with the coveted trophy. Eddie Wells is managing the Phi Delt hoopsters.

With two strong hurlers in the pitcher's box and a capable catcher behind the plate, the Bruins ex pect better battery combinations than they have had in recent years and consequently a more efficient ball club. Tom Murphy, lean, lanky junior whose delivery helped to beat Stanford’s great Dan Johnson last year, is back in the box along with Bill Winter and Paul Webber, relief men in 1931. Lou “Bud” Rose, first string var sity basketball center, will report at the end of the current cage series with Southern California on February 20. Rose pitched two no-hit, no-run games in a space of nine days as a senior at Beverly Hills high school three years ago, turned down major league offers, and is regarded as the most prom ising prospect to report at U. C. L. A. since Montgomery came in 1920. Webber is the only left hander of the lot. Frankovlch to Catch Behind the bag Montgomery will have Mitchell Frankovich, better known as Mike, all-city catcher at Belmont a few years ago and a strong candidate for the berth vacated by Southern California’s Joe Ward as the California Inter collegiate Baseball league’s leading backstop. Ralph Koontz, regular last season, and his reli^: man, Bill Campbell, are also out for the job. Koontz may be shifted to the outfield to utilize his ability with the stick. At present the infield and out field arc problematical affairs, Capt. Bill Brubaker at third base being the only bona fide regular returning. First base may be oc cupied by Jimmy Soest or Leonard Wcllendorf, all-coast football end, B k ENDS TODAY ' ‘ 1ft Tonight’* Revival at 11:00 JANET GAYNOR WARNER BAXTER ‘DADDY LONG LEGS’ Coming Sunday RUTH _ CHATTERTON PAUL UKM/JL/ TOMORROW^ TOMORROW \ GEI4>KN TODAY ONLY I You Will Laugh Your Head Off 'unexpected FATHEIC EMERALD ... of the A I R "Romany,” a 15-minute radio play adapted from a story in tho current issue of Liberty magazine, will be presented over Station KORE this afternoon at 4:15 dur ing the Emerald of the Air. Tha cast includes Margaret Ormandy, Bill Anderson, Hagan Moore, Joe Renner, and Ethan Newman. Helen Skipworth is directing the play, with the assistance of Margaret Hunt and Martin Geary. both of whom are still out for bas ketball. Soest held down the berth part of last season, but is better suited to the outfield. Wellendorf has not been in a baseball uniform since his freshman year. Second base is being applied for by Kiyo shi "Oke” Okura, key sack man part of last season, Bobby Decker, and Gene Hirsch. Although Decker is reporting for the first time.in college, he has had considerable experience in sandlot baseball and will be a strong addition to the squad. Hoopstors Turn Out Three basketball men, in addi tion to Billy Gilbert who essayed the part for a time last season, will make a try for short-stop. Joe Berry, Glendale junior college transfer, Duane Stevenson, S. M. J. C. transfer, and Charles Church, sophomore, will don university uniforms for the first time after the current basketball season. With A1 Chamie, Earl Painter, and Ted Dennis on the list of regu lar outfielders lost by graduation, Montgomery will probably send Soest and Gilbert back to the jobs they filled part of last season. There will be no freshman base ball for the Bruins this year.
