A Great Victory.

'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.

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

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

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

sled-racing as a sport, but it’s a

The best football punter on the
Pacific coast last autumn was
Keith Davis of Oregon State col
lege. 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

Ah ha 1 Here’s another football
flash who plays basketball. 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.

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

his third year of college competi

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

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

the exception of those taking part
in basketball.
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

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.

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
