boys did themselves proud
over the week-end. They fooled

that a game’s

days ago who

that the Webfoots would take even
one game from the Cougars ? Plac

hair-raising victories. With all the j

long end of the score both times.
If ever two victories were earned,

CORVALLIS, Feb. 15.— (Spe
cial).—Washington State took a
firmer grip on its slim conference
lead tonight as they edged out
Oregon State, 28 to 24, in a thrill
ing game at the men's gym here.
The Cougars rallied in the second
half to overcome a 13 to 7 Beaver
lead at halftime.
Huntley Gordon and Bull Hol
sten led the Cougars with 20
points between them. Ed Lewis
was outstanding for the Beavers
with seven markers.
Oregon State took an early lead
and managed to keep ahead
throughout the first period. The
Beavers were without the ser
vices of Ken Fagans, star forward,
who was taken to the hospital
with influenza earlier in the day.
His place was taken by Skeet
O’Connell. Carl Lenchitsky was
replaced early in the game by Red
MacDonald.
In the second period the Cou
gars started a scoring spree which
gave them a 16 to 13 lead before
the Eeavers scored. Gordon and
Holsten continually evaded their
guards and slipped in field goals.
Oregon State had a chance to
tie the score in the final minutes
of the game when O’Connell and
rhomas missed foul conversions.
tV. S. C. led, 34 to 22, at the time.

It was no weak, lackadaisical

Huntly Gordon and was a vital
factor in getting the ball off
both backboards. Cap, Hank
and Windy Calkins piled all
over Gordon every time the big
fellow had his hands full. That
was one reason the officials
called so many “held-ball” de
cisions.
Jack Robertson played more
spiritedly than he has at any
time this season. His accurate
long shots were instrumental in
keeping the Webfoots within
beck and call of the lead when
the Cougar defense tightened.
Calkins turned in his usual de
pendable performances. The Ore
gon captain proved he always
can be counted upon in the
pinch. Calkins was fouled by
McLarney 55 seconds before the
gun that ended the second game
and was helped from the court
with a painfully hurt ankle. The
injury may lay him up several
days, but Reinhart says he will
be in the lineup when Oregon
faces Oregon State at Corvallis
Friday night.
The others who helped Levoff,
Roberts, Calkins and Robertson
were Cliff Potter, Isaac Donin,
Jim Watts and Gilbert Olinger.
They all played nice ball. When
Donin was on the floor, there
were three lads from Lincoln high

Levoff and Robertson were also
former Cardinal basketeers.

It will be interesting to see how
the Cougars come back. They’re
only only one game ahead of the
Washington Huskies now, so they
can’t afford to lose many more.
Washington State was a discour
aged troup when it left here for
Corvallis yesterday. “My gosh,”
moaned Jack Friel, youthful coach
of the Cougars, “I don’t see how
Oregon lost so many games to
Idaho and Washington. Your
boys certainly looked unbeatable
in the three games they beat us.”
Ah ha! U. C. L. A. rebelled in
the South and now everything’s
tied up between Southern Califor
nia and the University of Califor
nia. While the Bears were having
a picnic with Stanford’s forlorn
Indians, the baby Bruins rose in
wrath and smote the Trojans, 28
to 27. Dick Linthicum was the lad
who turned the trick. With only
10 seconds to play, he dribbled
down the side of the court and
looped one over his head for the
points that brought the Bruins
victory.

GLE. By now, gentle reader, you
should have guessed the signifi
cance of all these elegant expres
sions. If you have not, they serve
only as a reminder that today the
big carnival, the battles of the
century, the classical combats get
under way today in the men's gym,
with the start of the annual all
campus wrestling tournament.
About 30 “rasslers” have signified
their intention of taking away the
crowns in the various weight di
visions and putting them on their
own dear little (block)heads. So
if you want to see what passes for
action, drop in to the matches be
ginning this afternoon at 4 p. m.
Action de luxe, mixed with all the
ingredients that go to make wrest
ling such a popular sport.
At last the Yeomen bumped into
a Waterloo which put a crimp in
their habit of winning any and all
intramural tournament titles. The
Yeomen had serenely gone about
their task of taking all donut
crowns and were already conceded
the volleyball gonfalon, when the
Phi Delt six decided that it was
about time that the Yeomen were
prevented from becoming too grab
by. The Phi Delta Theta voliey
ballists vindicated their decision
by winning the volleyball flag and
making it the first time this school
year that the independent squad
has not found itself in possession
of a donut championship. The
winners, without any outstanding
players on their roster, displayed
a better game and teamwork to
just barely nose out a victory for
the title.
* « *
Apropos of the donut volleyball
tournament, which is now history,
we would like to make an attempt
to pick some sort of all-star ag
gregation. If all the participants
in the recent tourney were lined
up against the wall and we were
given our pick, we might have to
display quite a little cogitation as
to which players we would choose.
But here goes for our team, and
we make no excuses or apologies
for it. The squad would be com
posed of Ingram Kjosness of the
Yeomen, Kermit Stevens of the
Phi Delts, Florendo Mangavil of
La Casa Filipina, Willie Paul of
Kappa Sig, Paul Bale of SAE, and
Don McKim of ATO. Anyone who
watched the volleyball games at
all in the tourney knows that these
players would have brought joy
to the hearts of a manager of any
,'olleyball team. Kjosness was the
star of the Yeomen team and dis
played a great knack of killing
the ball so that opponents had
plenty of trouble in even trying to
return them. Stevens was the de
fensive star of the champion Phi
Delt combination and could on oc
casion salt away needed points by
his fairly good ability to spike the
ball. He went after every ball that
came on his side of the net and
made miraculous saves. Mangavil
was without peer as a defensive
player. He handled the pellet nice
ly and set up many intended kill
shots from the hands of foes. Paul
simply slugged the ball over the
net for his kill shots, and they
were boomed so hard that they
were unreturnablc. He also could
set up to the front line in a highly :
satisfactory manner. Bale was a
spiker de luxe, while McKim i

gon’s two victories last week over
the Cougars, 34 to 32 and 24 to 21,
while Washington was defeating
Idaho twice, put Hec Edmundsen’s
Huskies within a half a game of
the league leaders. The Cougars
proved they were of championship
caliber last night, however, and
handed the Beavers a decisive, al
though close, defeat.
Webfeet Wake Up
Oregon aroused from its lethar
gic state and staged two great
games last week. Friday night’s
thrilling battle was rivaled closely
by the nerve-racking contest the |
following night. In both games
the Webfoots out - fought the
league leaders and dominated the
scoring throughout both games.
Hank Levoff and Cap Roberts
led the Webfoots in the two up
sets. Jack Robertson, Windy Cal
kins, Jim Watts, Cliff Potter, Ike j
Donin and Gib Olinger turned in i
outstanding games. Oregon’s three
victories over the Cougars are the
only defeats suffered by the Pull
man team this season.
Duck Defense Strong
Great defensive playing was the
main factor in the Oregon vic
tories. In both games the Oregon
players presented an airtight de
fense and every Cougar shot was
hurried. Hank Levoff's scoring
eye was responsible for 13 of the
Oregon scores in the first game
and his fighting tactics in both!
contests gave Oregon control of j
the ball most of the time.
While the race has narrowed ■
down to W. S. C. and Washington
for the division pennant, the main 1
objective of the Oregon team from '
now on is to climb back into third
place. At present it is only a game
behind Oregon State and another
loss by the Beavers will put the i
two teams into a lie.

In a rough and tumble hoop
game last Saturday afternoon, the

affair, and Jim Weed, who started
officiating, was forced to give way
under fire in the last part of the
game to Francis Sullivan.
The Kappa Sig five got off to an
early lead, but the Phi Delt sharp
shooters, Burr and Olson, began
dropping them in from all angles
to give the boys from the big gray
barn a lead which they didn't lose
for the rest of the contest.
The victors were awarded a
handsome tomato can as a trophy.

Records in Dual Meet
At Corvallis
The Oregon varsity and fresh
man swimming squads satisfied
their craving for Beaver meat
when they both took dual meet
victories from the Orange varsity
and the rooks, respectively, at
Corvallis Saturday. The Webfoot
varsitarians trounced the O. S. C.
varsity, 56 to 28, in a meet in
which three Corvallis tank records
were broken by the Duck combina
tion and also took a water polo
game by a score of 4 to 1.
A supposedly weak Duckling
outfit turned on the rooks and
nosed out a victory by a tally of
43 to 41. The frosh also took a
water polo tilt from the baby
Beavers, 4 to 2.
One record was broken by
Charlie Foster, Oregon star, in the
440-yard event, which he took at
a very fast clip of 5:43 2-5. Francis
Oglesby, Webfoot natator, broke
the time in the 220-yard free style
by winning it in 2:32 2-5. The
third record to be shattered was
the 300-yard medley relay, which
the Lemon and Yellow squad, com
posed of Jim Brooke, Paul Laffer
ty, and Wally Hug, took in a fast
race at 3:27 3-5.
In the varsity water polo battle,
Paul Lafferty tallied two, Bob
Needham, one, and Charlie Foster,
one for the Oregon poloists, with
Dunham manufacturing the lone
State goal. In the freshman game,
the frosh markers were recorded
by Willie Paul with three and Jim
Ringrose with the other one. '
Staten and Dockery each counted
one for the rooks.
