Back They Come 500% Again. Barry’s All Stars. -By DICK KEUBERGER rpHERE'S no doubt about it now —Oregon's basketball lads have come back. They had more than one narrow es cape in doing so and the road was rough and rocky, but back they’ve I come at last. : They proved^ their rejuvena- i tion in no uncer tain style Satur- , day night when Bill Reinhart they overcame their ancient rivals at Corvallis, 28 to 25, in a stern struggle that saw Oregon fight its way from be hind when there were only; 50 sec onds left to play. Cap Roberts was' the lad who brought the Webfoots back from the brink of disaster. With every thing going against Oregon, with the opposition ahead 25-16 when only nine minutes remained in the second half, with three reserves in the game, with Hank Levoff and Jack Robertson benched for com mitting four personal fouls each, he mustered the Webfoots’ scat tered forces and led a savage scor ing drive that brooked no oppo sition. * # » Ably assisted by his team mates, “Cap” brought the score to 24 to 25 when only 50 seconds were left. Then the big fellow went into direct action himself. He grabbed a bullet pass from Winsor Calkins, dashed half the length of the floor, whipped the ball over his head and Oregon was in the lead. But Cap wasn’t through yet. Twice in the short time before the final gun he was fouled by Corvallis players, and j both times he stepped coolly up j to the gift line and dropped the [ ball through the basket. It was a great victory, equal- j ly as thrilling as the two Ore- i gon scored over Washington State a couple of weeks ago. At last it looks as if the Webfoots have hit their pace. They have won three consecutive games now, and are under way with the force and fury of a cavalry at tack. Saturday’s victory finally brought them back to the .500 mark. Cap Roberts is the gent who’s doing the business out there. His great playing has been the main reason behind Oregon’s sensational comeback. Cap’s hud some valuable assist ance from Captain Calkins and Hank Levoff, however, and these lads were important factors in i Saturday night’s wild triumph at I Corvallis. Another lad who delivered in the pinch was Jim Watts, the slender sophomore guard. He won himself a regular berth by his splendid performance at Corvallis. Jack j Robertson was not no to par Sat urday night. After a quartet of nice performances against Wash ington and Washington State, he reverted to his previous lackadais ical ball and did not show to ad vantage. However, Jack’s got the | stuff in him, so let’s hope he shoWs j ENDS TODAY ANN HARDING “PRESTIGE” LADIES THE BIG HOUSE sylyuTsidney GENE RAYMOND CQutaaBuM&Uor COMING WEDNESDAY w.

S. C. prepare to break the deadlock for the league title. Both teams ended the regu lar schedule with victories over Stanford and U. C. L. A. to finish on even terms. The Golden Bears had little dif ficulty in defeating the battered Stanford Cardinals. Southern Cal ifornia, however, had the battle of its life in downing the scrappy U.

The two rivals will start a three-game play-off series this week-end. Washington State needs but one more victory to mathematically cinch the northern division crown. The Cougars met Washington Fri day and Saturday nights in the crucial series of the year. A close victory over Idaho last Saturday night gave Jack Friel’s outfit a three-game margin on Washington in second place. The Huskies smeared Idaho last night 51 to 37 in a free scoring contest to remain in the race. In order to get a tie with the Cougars, Washington must take both of the games Friday and Saturday nights. W. S. C. has won eleven games and lost three, while the Huskies have won nine and lost four. Coach Bill Reinhart's Oregon team stepped into third place in the northern race by taking the second game from its Corvallis opponents, 28 to 25. Cap Roberts led the Webfoots and won the game with a last minute field goal and two free throws that first put Oregon out ahead and then gave it a three point margin. Besides the Washington-Wash ington State games at Seattle this week-end, Oregon will finish its season with the two final games with the Corvallis school's quint. Friday night’s game will be played in McArthur court and the final game at Corvallis. it when Oregon meets the Corval lis school here Friday night. You never saw anyone so excit ed as Bill Reinhart was after the game Saturday night. Oregon's coach was as happy as a baby over a new toy. There’s an excellent reason for his exuberance, how ever. Bill never has lost a basket ball series to the state institution at Corvallis and Saturday's vic tory assured him of nothing worse than a 50-50 break with the Ben ton county school this year. # * * Oregon’s poen of triumph is not without a note of requiem, however Cap Roberts appeared at practice yesterday with a se vere cold and Reinhart fervent ly hopes the big fellow will be himself by Friday night. He im mediately stuck Cap under the ultra-violet ray lamp and start ed doctoring him with every thing from camphorated oil to aspirin tablets. That Friday night game means a lot to Bill Reinhart and the University of Oregon. If they can win that one, they not only will have taken the season’s se ries from their northern division adversaries at Corvallis, but also will be certain of finishing above them In the final standings. Yes sir, Friday's the night on which Oregon wants to win. # * * More fun in the sunny south— the race ended in a tie down there and Southern California and Cali fornia meet this week-end to decide the title.

Nemer is one of the great est sharpshooters in Pacific coast basketball history and the stal-*; wart Dick Linthicum is unexcelled { as a floor man and court general. They would be unanimous choice on any all-conference quintet. Joe Kintana is also a forward, but j there were no outstanding centers, so Barry places him at the pivot post. Vendt of California and Capps of U. S. C. are the guards. Probably Nemer and Linthicum are the foremost players of the coast. Next in line would come three or four northern division! players, namely Bull Holsten of Washington State. Cap Roberts of Oregon.

Huskies Whip Vandal Horde In Rough Tilt U. W. Remains in Race As Result of Win Contest Tonight To Finish Conference Season For Idaho UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Feb. 22.— (Special.)—The Huskies of the University of Washington tonight celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of the man for whom their school and state are named by walloping the University of Idaho on the basketball court. The score was 51 to 37. The victory kept the Huskies within one game of Wash ington State's northern division leaders and prolonged their exist ence as a menace to the Cougars' grip on the title. Washington took an early lead and held it throughout. They held a commanding 19 to 11 advantage at the intermission. The Vandals’ sole attack was staged at the opening of the sec ond half when, led by Lacey, they fostered a drive that brought them to within three points of the Hus kies. However, Washington began to click under the guidance of Lee and Fuller, and were never endan gered during the remainder of the game. The game was rough through out, and was featured in many places by scrambles for the ball on the floor. The shooting was inconsistent and ragged and few of the men seemed at their usual form. The two teams meet again to morrow night here for the con cluding game of the series, and the Vandals’ last conference clash. Washington will enter the decid ing tilts of the northern division race when she meets Washington State in a two-game series this week-end. Mason, Hitchcock Victors In Emerald Competition Close Contests Murk the Week’s Colonial l*ass Battle In the race for copyreading hon ors cn the Emerald staff this week, Ralph Mason emerged with a tidy margin, having amassed 38 points to win the Colonial theatre pass. The race for second place in the melee was close, Margaret Bean finishing with 29, Bob Pat terson, last week’s winner, with 28, and Jane Opsund with 27. Parks Hitchcock, the “Theta Chi Flash,” was far ahead of his nearest rival for reporting, garner ing 90 points during the week. Hitchcock will also receive a the atre pass. Almon Newton made 67 points to take second place. At a late hour last night the prize for the best all-around worker on the paper had not been awarded.

DONUT CHATS by JOSEPH SANLAVSKV The shades of medieval Europe and the age of duels will be re lived beginning today in a com monplace modern university set ting with the start of the all-cam pus fencing tournament in the men’s gym at 3:45 p. m. While the stakes are not so important as they were during the middle ages, still these battles will be worth seeing. Seventeen entrants are striving for three titles, each j crown signifying the champion in one of three sections of the tour nament, the epee, the sabre, and the foil. The first two divisions run off before the foil rivalry will be staged. * * * Earl Boushey, director of intra mural athletics, is thoroughly dis gusted at the slowness of the en trants in the all-campus singles and doubles handball tournaments in completing the final contests which would put an end to a tour ney which should have been com pleted about three weeks ago. Only the championship battles re main to be played off in each of these tourneys, but the contestants have delayed the issue. In the singles frays, the title contest is between Warren Cress and Fred Deuel. The doubles crown will go to the winner of the Schneider Schneider and Cress-Deuel strug gle. Something of a novelty in ath letic circles on the campus will be introduced next Saturday evening, February 27. An intercollegiate wrestling dual meet between the University of Washington and Oregon is slated for 7:30 p. m. that day in the Igloo. The Hus kies have a regular varsity grap pling squad, while the Webfoot contestants will be selected from among the intramural tendon-tug gers and the hair pullers enrolled in the regular gym classes, ac cording to Clair Meisel, coach of the tuggers. * * * Russ Cutler, director of the lo cal chapter of Sigma Delta Psi, national athletic honorary, is wearing a broad smile these days.

Trojan Gridsters Train For Cinder Track Year LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.—Five University of Southern California varsity football players have heard the call of competition again and are now in training with the Tro jan varsity track squad. Bob Hall and Tay Brown, foot ball tackles, arc now working with the weights. Johnny Baker, Troy’s running guard last fall, is putting the shot, while Frank Williamson, a running guard reserve, is throw ing the javelin.

Bob Reed, who played Spartan football last fall, is also a track candidate. His event is the 410. Fencers Say Action To Start In Tilts Today All-Campus Blade Frays Will Open at 3:45 Eight Matches Scheduled For Initiation of New Tourney TODAY’S FENCING Epee Pitt vs. Cross Bennett vs. Hibbard W. Anderson vs. Nash L. Anderson vs. Hill Sabre Bishop vs. Caswell Cross vs. Hill Bennett vs. Stocker Pitt vs. Porter The annual all-campus fencing tournament gets under way this afternoon at 3:45 on the main floor of the men's gym with eight matches slated for the opening day’s program. The epee and sabre tourneys are strictly on an elimination basis and will be completed before the foil rivalry commences. The latter competition will be managed in a slightly different manner, in that the bladesmen will be allowed to drop two contests before they find themselves among the eliminated fencers. No time limit is placed on any of the battles because a contest ant will be declared winner only after he has scored five touches against his foe. Unlike the 1931 clashes, there is great uncertainty this year as to whom stands the best chance of becoming champions. Last year the scepter was almost certain to rest on the head of either Lee Winetrout, Dave Killion, or Dick Waggoner, and Winetrout grabbed the title. None of these three ster ling bladesmen is in school now, with the result that six or eight of the lesser lights are favorites now. The judges who will officiate at the frays are Louis Myers, in structor of Romance languages, and Warren Powell, coach of the fencers, who warns the entrants to be on time for their matches if they desire to avoid unpleasant consequences. Hartfiel Delivers Oraliou In Bi'Centeiinial Contest Tom Hartfiel, representing the University, spoke on the subject, “Washington the Courageous,” in the George Washington Oratorical contest held at Salem last night, the results of which could not be learned at a late hour. Hartfiel’s speech epitomized the achievements of Washington that could not have been accomplished by one who did not possess the strength of mind and character that the first president had.

S. C. rooks, 26 to 18. The Oregon yea rlings, after trounc ing the rooks in three previous meet ings, couldn't get going, and the Prink Callison Corvallis team gained an early lead which it held throughout the tilt. The frosh made but four field goals, all be ing scored in the first half. Callison's hoopsters found it tough going whenever they played away from home this year. Out of the nine scheduled games played, the ducklings lost but two, and both of these were played on strange courts. Medford high school was the first to upset the yearlings. The Tigers beat them 22 to 13 after dropping the first game by a close margin. In the Oregon yearlings’ other games on the road they had to put up a hard fight to stave off the jinx which followed them away from home. Salem high school was de feated 18 to 10 on the Salem floor, and the O. S. C. freshmen were nosed out 32 to 30 in the second game of the annual four-game se ries. On their home court, however, the frosh were supreme. Jeffer son high school of Portland went down to defeat in the opening game of the season at the Igloo by a 43-to-13 count, and Salem high was smothered under a one-sided score two weeks later. In both of the frosh-rook games played in Eugene, Callison’s five showed no doubt as to their su periority. They trounced the Beaver babes twice at McArthur court by nearly identical scores, 40 to 20 and 41 to 22. Despite Saturday’s defeat at the hands of the Orange yearlings, the duckling hoopsters had a success ful season. They rolled up a total of 262 points to their opponents’ 181, scoring at least one victory over each team they met during the season. No individual stars were out standing in the 1932 squad, but many of the yearlings played a brand of ball worthy of mention. Captain Campf and Kalph Terjc son finished the season in the for ward positions. The latter started in a guard berth, but was moved to forward to make room for Bill Berg, who was moved up from •. reserve position just before the first rook game. Along with these three players TONIGHT! .®P C’m’on— ^ It’s— DIME NITE/ the starting line-up for the greater part of the season included Roland Rourke at guard and Bob Miller at center. Rourke was the star sharpshooter of the outfit, leading the scoring for the year. Callison was fortunate in having a strong reserve list during the entire season. Chuck Clay, who substituted for Campf while he was out with an injured hand, was a dependable man at forward, and played some good ball during the season. Other promising players from the second string are Arne Lind gren, who played part of the sea son in a first-string forward posi tion, at center; Siegmund and Jette at forwards; and McClain, Reeder, and Thomas in the check ing positions. A summary of the games played: Frosh 43 . Jefferson 13 Frosh 18 . Salem 10 Frosh 31 . Salem 19 Frosh 40 . Rooks 20 Frosh 32 . Rooks 30 Frosh 26 . Medford 19 Frosh 13 . Medford 22 Frosh 41 .
