Baseball Soon. — Track Here Now. -By DICK NEC BERGER Jerry Nemer goes tonight, so will go the Trojans of the Uni versity of Southern California. In Babe Oakland auditor i u m a t 7:30 o'clock the bas keteers from Troy meet Cali fornia’s Golden Bears for the championship of the southern di vision, and virtu ally all the Tro McmngDery ]ans nopes will rest upon the activities of the sharp-shooting Mr. Nemer. It's ap parent Southern California has ! come to rely upon Nemer’s scoring j ability too much for its own good. To date the nimble Jerry has pro duced 132 points in 11 conference games, but what a mess the Tro jans would be in, were the Bears to stop him cold. And don’t think California won t ! be guarding Nemer tonight. The I Bears probably will concentrate their entire defense upon Jerry. They’ll watch him like hawks. | Canny little Nibs Price, coach of the Berkeley team for the last six years, knows the battle’s half won f if his men can throttle Nemer. ' Likewise, the Trojans realize! they’re practically certain of vie- j tory if they <tan work their block- 'j plays skillfully enough to get Jer ry within shooting range. * * * What a grand fight that will he—the Bears doing their ' darndest to keep Nemer away from that basket, and the Tro jans trying everything they . know to get him there! It looks like the one fellow who isn’t go ing to enjoy himself is Jerry. 1 With all those stalwarts concen trating their activities upon him, the affair is liable to turn into an indoor football game, with j; none other than Jerry Nemer as the football. Seriously speaking, though, young Nemer must be quite a basketball player. Babe Holling berry, Washington State’s dap per football coach, who passed through here several weeks ago on his way north to Pullman, says Jerry is one of the most accurate shots he ever saw. “In a game against Stanford,’’ Babe remarked, “Nemer stood near the center of the court and dropped 21 points over the heads of Stanford’s zone defense.” Jerry’s record speaks for itself. 1. His average for the regular south- ' ern division season was exactly 12 points a game. Now compare this i' with that of Huntly Gordon of ‘ Washington State, who tops the northern section with 117 points rammii: TONIGHT’S REVIVAL At 11:00 P.

TODAY TODAY PEGGY SHANNON STUART ERWIN BUDDY ROGERS ‘The Reckless Age Oregon, OSC To Vie Today In Dual Meet Swimming Aggregations Closely Matched Varsities To Scrap for Last Time This Season in Gerlinger Pool Six Webfoot varsity mermen will I do battle for the last time tonight in the dual meet with the Oregon State natators.

Oregon Seeking Title Both the Duck varsity and freshman combinations are out to i win again from the Corvallis j teams and capture the Pacific Northwest swimming championship thereby. The Lemon and Yellow varsitarians lambasted the Orange men at Corvallis two weeks ago, 56 to 28, while the frosh staggered through a conquest from the rooks, 43 to 41. The frosh was hit hard by the loss of John Hine, star back strok er, through ineligibility. He took first place in his event in the dual meet at Corvallis and had been counted upon for vital points to day. Jack Hewitt, coach of the Webfoots, announced the lineups for the event, for which there will be no admission charge.

Basketball, except for the Coast conference playoff in California, ends this week-end. Colonel William L. Hayward al ready has started track workouts, and Bill Reinhart will issue the first baseball call early next week, j Doc Spears has started spring football practice, which, incident ally i3 moving along like wild-fire The lads held their first scrim mages this week and they went into them like they meant busi ness. * * * When Colonel Bill Hayward and Bill Reinhart do a thing, they do it thoroughly. They went fishing last Sunday, by way of celebrating last week’s victory o' er Coivdllio, and they had sue!!, good luck they were afraid uo i Dozen Freshmen Get Numerals for Basketball Work rjpWELVE freshmen basketball players were presented with numerals yesterday by Prink Callison, yearling eoaeh.

McClain, George Jette, Lyle Reeder, Wilson Siegmund and Ralph Thomas. The Ducklings took seven of nine games played this season, losing only to Medford high and the Oregon State Kooks. They easily took the season’s series from the Rooks, however, three games to one. Swordsmen Meet In Second Round For Foil Crown Porter, Emmons, Caswell Take Matches in Fencing Meet Tame, slow, and uninteresting bouts were dished up yesterday in the all-campus fencing tournament, with the completion of the second day's rivalry in the foil division of the tourney. Warren Powell, coach of the bladesmen, announced that the round robin playoffs to determine the king of the foil wielders will get under way next Tuesday, with the regular elimination tournament now in progress slated to come to an end next Monday. The mentor has issued a call for the following swordsmen to report for the contests in preparation for the title playoff—John Caswell, Norris Porter, Thomas Emmons, Irvin Hill, Russell Tinkham, Low ell Anderson, Buck Nash, Joe Bish op, James Blair, George Hibbard, and Clifford Stocker. The results of yesterday’s ses sions are as follows: Caswell beat Cross, 5-3; Emmons trounced Nash, 5-2; Hill took Anderson, 5-3; Porter conquered Tinkham, 5-3; Nash nosed out a victory over Cross, 5-4; Caswell took a close duel from Emmons, 5-4; Hibbard defeated Tollefson, 5-2; Porter downed Hill, 5-3.

A. intramural basketball game was played today between teams I and IV, team I winning 36 to 12. All the teams have not picked their names but team I will hence forth be known as the “Double N’s” and team IV as the “Whoop sters.” The schedule for the intramural games is as follows: Monday: II vs. III. Tuesday: I vs. II and III vs. IV. Wednesday: IV vs. II. Thursday: I vs. III. body .would believe them. So, as exliibit“A,” the two coaches took pictures of each other holding the long string of trout, * * * Too had Doc Spears can’t do that with his trap-shooting. Doc is quite a shotgun artist now, but it’s pretty near impossible to photograph someone in the process of breaking a clay disk, so he’ll have to do without evi dence of his skill. * * * i , . I The graduate managers arc meeting in Seattle this week-end to select a site for the annual northern division track and field meet. Hugh E. Rosson is repre senting Oregon at the gathering Because of their deplorable finan cial condition, the University ol Washington's athletic officials de clined to sponsor the meet when j it was offered them several weeks j ago. Then the University of Mon- j tana was handed the doubtful hon- i or, but it. too, refused. Now the conference is up a tree. Nobody wants the meet and it will be up to the managers to decide which school shall hold it. Get over to Corvallis tonight and root for the basketball team in its final game with the Benton coun ty institution. The Webfoots de served more backing than they got j last Saturday night when they i edged out a 2S-to-25 victory. Let - i give it to them tonight. These Lanky Lads Meet Again Tonight On the left is Ed (Turkey) Lewis, Oregon State center, who scored nine points last night as liis team vanquished Oregon, 37 to 31. The gent on the right is Charles (Cap) Koberts, the Webfoots' main scoring threat. He climbed out of bed to appear in last night’s encounter, but, weakened by his recent illness, failed to play his usual sparkling game. Golden Bears To Meet Trojans for Southern Crown Barry Entrains With USC • Basketeers for Clash Tonight in Oakland LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26.—(Spe cial) Either because General Manager Arnold Eddy of the Uni versity of Southern California is a poor caller or Mrs. . William Monohan, wife of the California at Berkeley general manager, is too clever at coin flipping, Coach Sam Barry tomorrow must take his traveling Trojan basketeers north for the third time this season to meet the Bear five in a play-off at the Oakland auditorium tonight for the Pacific Coast conference southern division championship. In accordance with conference rules, the play-off will consist of only one game, and in accordance with Mrs. Monahan’s dime coming up heads when Mr. Eddy suggest ed tails, the Trojans must risk their chances of getting into the championship series with the northern division winner on enemy ground. The Southern Californians are certainly going after the confer ence championship by the hardest possible route. They started mak ing it tough for themselves by dropping the first two games of their series to U. C. L. A., both contests being presented to the Bruins by one goal margins when the Trojans were stricken by at tacks of butter fingers in the clos ing seconds of play. As a result of these defeats the Trojans lost their lead in the southern division race and became tied with California. Just to make it still tougher to stay in the pic- < ture the Trojans let the Bruins get a 22 to 14 lead by half time last Saturday night before they came to life and pulled the game out of; the fire by a 35 to 31 score.

Husky Grapplers To Arrive Tonight for Big Mat Battle Wrestling Matches Will Be Staged in McArthur Court Arena By ED GOODNOUGH For the first time in several years an intercollegiate wrestling meet will be provided for local fans when the University of Wash ington grapplers clash with the Webfoots on the McArthur court mats at 7:30 tonight. University students are to be admitted on presentation of their ticket, while all others attending will pay a general admission price of 25 cents. Leonard Stevens, Husky mentor, is bringing eight wrestlers south with him, according to a letter sent by Carl V. Kilgore, assistant graduate manager of the northern school. So anxious were the Hus kies to secure outside competition that they agreed to pay their own travelling expenses if Oregon ac cepted the challenge. Considerable local interest was aroused yesterday when it was learned that the Huskies will have a blind heavyweight wrestler on the Igloo card. Advance notices from Seattle indicate that Howard Dent's blindness doesn’t place him in the category of a “set-up.” “He doesn't lose his man once he shakes hands at the start of his match," Coach Stevens said. "Dent has an uncanny sense of direction and is an excellent wrestler.” Op posing Dent will be Howard Clark, varsity footballer, who tossed Speed Lewis for the campus title last week. Other members of the Washing ton contingent are: light-heavy weight, Ad Smith; middleweight, Melvin “Babe” Borgersen; welter weight, A1 Shands; lightweight, Hal Sharpe; featherweight, Charles Newell; bantamweight, Everett McKeller; 165-pound class, Bill Howard or Hag Riske. How ard, incidentally, is editor of the Washington Daily, student publi cation of the northern school. Coach Clair Meisel is not cer tain who he will start in the 165 pound division, but otherwise the Webfoot lineup has been selected. Frank Keltner, light-heavyweight; Tom Mountain, middleweight; Freddy Sears, welterweight; Ray Clapp, .lightweight; Otto Vonder heit, featherweight; and Dave Doran, bantamweight, are counted upon to give the Huskies some competition. Either Doc Kelliher or Chuck Johnson will defend the 165-pound class. Injuries and the flu have played havoc with Ore gon’s chances in the past two weeks, but Meisel is confident that “his boys” will extend the -strong Husky outfit to its utmost. The matches are scheduled for 10 minutes with two extra three minute rounds in case the judges cannot come to a decision at the end of the regulation period. One fall will end the bout. The length of the matches may prove a se rious handicap to the Webfoots, who have trained up to this week in preparation for two four-minute sessions. Weighing in will take place this morning as soon as the Husky grapplers arrive, the men being allowed three pounds leeway in making the required poundage. Don Cartwright, a Webfoot wres tling star of a few seasons back, will referee the tilts. Finder of Rolling Girl Double Will Pocket Two-Fifty Have you discovered the Rollin girl’s double yet? Perhaps she is your sorority sis ter or your "best girl friend.” Her discovery will net you both two fifty in gold, so this time it might pay you to take a second look! In the meanwhile from her lofty position on the College Side bulle tin board, the Rollin’s silk hosiery model smiles mockingly at all who gaze at her dark, impish features and then at passing co-eds. No one knows who her Oregon "twin” will be, not even members of Gam ma Alpha Chi, who are sponsoring the contest. The identity of the girl selected by the judges from the names slipped into the coupon box in the old library will be kept a secret until the fashion dance, when the winner will* be presented to the campus. Dr. Walter Scott Athearn of Boston has been inaugurated as the new president of Butler col lege, Indianapolis. Dr. Athearn formerly was with Boston univer sity.
