Oregon State 28, Oregon 20. California 26, U. S. C. 22. Washington Wins. Calitornia Wins. And Grrdon Wins. ■-By DICK NEUBEItGEK much happened over the week end that it's hard to know what to write about first. Washington Huntley Gordon finally came back and kicked the stuffing out of Washington State's proud hopes, California did likewise with those of the haughty Trojans and Oregon State came to life and beat out Oregon for third place in uie noruiern envision. Washington’s spectacular uphill fight was the real thing. After losing four of their first five games, the Huskies rallied and won 11 straight conflicts and their fifth consecutive northwest title. It was a great comeback. Washington State thought it h^id the cham pionship cinched when it beat Washington two straight at Pull man last month, but something happened to the Cougars that they themselves probably haven’t fig ured out yet. Their downfall started at Eu gene. They came here expecting to make mince-meat of Oregon, but instead the Webfoots made mince-meat of them. Two succes sive victories by Oregon took a considerable reef in the Cougars’ hopes and set the stage for the final episode at Seattle. In the first game of the championship series, the Huskies won, 32 to 25, thereby throwing the race into deadlock. This hinged everything upon Saturday’s encounter, in which Washington again was vic torious, 44 to 38. » * * So the Huskies go south to Berkeley next week, representa tives of the Pacific Northwest for the fifth year. They take with them the admiration of ev eryone who likes a fighter. Poor Washington State! What a blow it must have been to lose the pennant it was so sure of sev eral weeks ago. The situation is no joke to Jack Friel, youthful coach of the Cougars. For two years he has had splendid ma terial, but has failed to over throw Washington’s domination of the northern division. This season’s break-up will require some explaining in the front of fice at Pullman. Practically everyone outside the city limits of Los Angeles was pulling lor the Bears in the.. South, so their victory is a pop ular one. Southern California did so much to hurt the game by its stalling tactics and was so haughty over its early-season success that nobody was partic ularly sorry when it lost the playoff at Oakland, 26 to 22. California did a neat job of bot tling up Jerry Nemer. The Tro jan sharp-shooter collected only seven points, which is a bad eve ning for him. Had lie produced his customary total, the result might have been reversed. The Golden Bears also were.. DIME NIGHT! Richard I_i, -r • til ^Mrt KID The Stars of “Cimarron” and "Skippy” in Ilex Beach s Compelling Novel Comedy and Cartoon Webfoot Grapplers Humble Washington’s Crack Squad i Keltner, Mountain, Clapp, Johnson and Kclliher Win Matches By ED GOODNOUGH Five talented University of Ore gon grapplers saved Coach Len Stevens, University of Washington wrestling coach, from an icy bath in the mill race Saturday night. Coach Stevens promised his Huskies the pleasure of immersing him if they bested Claire Meisel’s Webfoots in a series of bouts at McArthur court. The highly tout ed Washingtonians dropped five out of seven matches to a well trained and well coached Oregon team, and Coach Stevens thereby kept his head above water. Frank Keltner, Webfoot light heivyweight, took two out of three falls from Ad Smith of the Husk ies in the three star scrap of the evening. Keltner swarmed all over the northerner during the first round, only to let his shoulders droop on the mat while maneuver ing Smith into position for a fall. Referee Don Cartwright imme diately awarded a fall to Smith. Keltner came back with a rush and evened the count despite Smith’s frantic efforts to stall him off until the final bell. So exhaust ed that he reeled to his corner af ter this fall Keltner nevertheless grimly stuck with his opponent through one wild and woolly extra round, and pinned his shoulders in the second extra session after clamping on a half nelson and body press. Doc Kelliher, outweighed ten pounds, copped an easy decision from Washington's blind heavy weight, Bill Dent, in extra rounds. This tilt was rather listless, Killi- \ her pressing the fight throughout | but failing to take Dent off his feet during the regulation period. Coach Len Stevens asked the gal lery gods to refrain from yelling while Dent was standing because the blind grappler depends upon champions last year. They lost in the Coast playoff to Washington, two games to one. This winter’s championship series will be played next week. The first two games are at Oakland Friday and Sat urday nights. Should a third com bat be necessary, the Huskies and Bears will meet Monday night to decide the title. * * » The Oregon - Oregon State re sults were inevitable. The Web foots went into the series with one of their regulars on the bench and their main scoring threat, Cap— Oh! I forgot! It’s Captain now— Roberts, on the hospital list. In both games Oregon gave the Bea vers plenty of trouble, but supe rior height and speed brought the Orangement in ahead. Windy Calkins and Hank Levoff played their last games for Ore gon last week. And they played them as they always have played, dependable and steady all the time. | Both lads went down fighting. In fact, Hank put up such a game battle that even the rather pitiful ly-biased Oregon State Barometer was forced to give him a grudging bit of praise. To give credit where credit is due, you have to say big Turkey | Lewis, Jerry Thomas and Ken Fa gans looked good for Oregon State. All three lads played important parts in the Beavers’ victories. Fa gans. Thomas and Howard Merrill appeared in their last games for Oregon State last week. It’s a re lief to get them out of the way. ■ * * * Here's the early news from the scoring front: Huntley Gordon wins the northern division cham pionship again with 135 points. Johnny Fuller, W ashington’s ver satile center and forward, takes second with 128. These lads fin ished in the same order last year, when Gordon scored 171 points to tie Harold Stowell’s all-time ' record. Fuller had 139. Third place goes to a newcomer in the top ranks, Charles Roberts of Oregon, who produced 118. A late-season let down due to an attack of influenza presented Roberts from a possible higher berth. uoraon, i-uiier ana itooerts an return next winter to renew their three - cornered scoring fight. Watch the fur fly then. Poor old Stanford! The lads from Palo Alto had another sorry time of it on the basketball court this winter. Ikey won their first Lettermen Meet At S.A.E. House | T o n i g h t At Six AN IMPORTANT meeting of the Order of the “O” will be held tonight at the Sigina Al pha Epsilon house. The letter men will have dinner at the house at 6 o’clock, and the meeting will immediately follow the meal. Hermit Stevens, president of the organization, urges that all lettermen be present as the business to be discussed is of the utmost importance. I his acute hearing to locate an op ponent. After Announcer Joe Walsh re layed this message hardly a peep was heard from the crowd who waited patiently a full ten minutes for the boys to hit the mat. Not until the extra rounds did the fans get a chance to applaud the game ness and quickness of the blind lad who put up a desperate struggle in spite of his handicap. Dent’s sense of direction was uncanny but his knowledge of wrestling seemed limited. "Rock Tom" Mountain, Oregon middleweight, entered the ring with a business-like scowl on his face and proceeded to tie Babe Borgersen into all kinds of knots before the ten minutes were up. Borgersen, heralded as the cream of Stevens’ men, escaped being thrown by crawling into his shell and Mountain had to be satisfied with a decision. Chuck Johnson, burly 165-uonnd er, displayed worlds of strength and fight as he catapulted Bill Howard, editor of the Washington Daily, all over the ring. Howard was tossed about like a chip in a storm, his strictly defensive tac tics alone holding his plunging ad versary off. Johnson weakened toward the end of the bout, but it was too late then for Howard to even the tussle. Dave Doran, 118 pounder, gave away ten pounds to Charles New ell of the Huskies and the weight handicap was too severe. Newell scored a fall in the second round. A1 Shands, barefooted Husky wel terweight, collected the other Washington victory by toppling Freddy Sears when the latter grew careless. Sears piled up a big ad vantage before and after the fall, but failed to throw the wild Wash ingtonian. Ray Clapp, Oregon lightweight, snapped a vicious wristlock on Hal Sharp shortly after their watch opened and the Washington boy was helpless from then on. With his elbow badly wrenched from the grip he was barely able to stave off Clapp’s aggressive at tempts to toss him. Regardless of the injury the match could hardly have ended otherwise for Clapp was as skillful and much stronger than the Husky. two games, both of them overtime encounters with U. C. L. A., and then crumpled completely. They didn't take another contest all sea son, and ended where they always have finished- in the cellar of the southern division. One of the Cardinals’ alibis is the fact that Phil Moffatt was out most of the season because of in juries. For the last two years the Cards have used Moffatt’s injuries as their chief excuse for losing whatever football games they hap pened to drop. Now little Phil’s in capacity is the reason for falling down in basketball. It’s too bad every school can't have a standing alibi like that handy. All this hullabaloo about Moffatt goes back two years when Stan ford crushed California, 41 to 0, in the annual “Big Game” at Palo Vito. Little Phil ran wild that day. He ran back kick-offs for touchdowns and dashedb lithely ..through the Bears from scrim i mage. Ever since that memorable ■ occassion he has been deplorably 1 handicapped by injuries, as a re sult of which the headlines in Cal ifornia newspapers have read something like this: “STANFORD MINUS MOFFATT, LOSES,” or “MOFFATT INJURED, WARNER PREDICTS DEFEAT.” Seriously, though, Phil is quite a basketball player. In his sopho more year he was leading scorer j of the southern division, so per haps his hard luck did have some thing to do with Stanford's poor 1 showing. Duck Varsity, Babe Mermen Garner Title Orange Natators Lose Saturday's Meets Northwest Championship Safely Tueked Under Webfoot Belts The Oregon varsity and fresh man aquatic squads both won the Pacific Northwest swimming championships in their divisions by taking victories in dual meets with the Oregon State teams here last Saturday in the last of their two-meet series and the final com petition of the year. The Oregon varsitarians trounc ed the Beavers, 54-30, for their second win, while the Ducklings turned a victory precisely similar to the one they scored in the dual meet at Corvallis two weeks ago by a count of 43 to 41. The Web foot yearlings lambasted the baby Beavers in the water polo game, 6-2, but the Lemon and Yel low lost a hard fought fray to the Orangemen, 1-0. Oregon Overwhelms Beavers The varsity meet was a case of too much Oregon, which captured five out of eight first places. Two records for the women’s pool were shattered by Webfoot mermen. Francis Oglesby garnered a record in the 220-yard event in 2:27, and the Duck medley relay team, com posed of Paul Lafferty, Ferd Flet cher, and Wally Hug, took the other by swimming their 300-yard event in 3:23. Bob Needham tal lied eight counters for Oregon to lead the local aggregation, with Herb Eisenschmidt at the head of the O. S. C. scoring parade with a like number of markers. The frosh-rook meet was a repe tition of their rivalry at Corvallis. For the second time, Jean Privat, anchor man on the frosh medley relay team, came from behind in the last race of the day to nose out a victory in the struggle and give the baby Webfeet another con quest. Vic Smith, rook flash, was the star of the day and captured three first places to manufacture 15 points of the visitors’ total. Willie Paul was high point nata tor of the frosh by gaining 9 tallies. Oregonians to Feast Jack Hewitt, Oregon swimming mentor, announced that the frosh and varsity teams would have post-season banquets at the An chorage, the yearlings meeting to morrow at 6:30 p. m. and the var sitarians gathering Thursday at the same time. Speeches, election of this season’s honorary captains in swimming and in water polo, and the awarding of numerals and letters will be the order of the day.

Cap Roberts Chosen Head Of1933 Team Seven Varsity Letters To Be Awarded Calkins, and Levoff End College Basketball; Get ‘O’ Blankets By BRUCE HAMBY Cap Roberts is really a captain now. The red-headed Oregon cen ter was a unanimous choice for captain of the 1933 varsity basket ball squad. So from now on he will be Captain Charles (Cap) Roberts.

Under the pretense of having their ensemble picture taken yes terday, they sneaked quietly up to the Igloo, their old hangout, and proceeded to shoot baskets galore. In fact, Bill Keinhart, Webfoot coach, was alleged to have stated that he could think of many more opportune times for the display of accurate shooting that the hoop sters put on in their little post season rehearsal. The whole gang got together and relived the many practices that they have had in the past - the last one, too, for “Windy" Calkins and “Hank" Levoff, who officially closed their college bas ketball career last Saturday in the final clash with the men from Benton county. ‘Big Circus’ To Be Given At Gorlingor Thursday The .senior women in physical education are giving a “Big Cir cus’’ for class demonstration in | swimming on Thursday, March 3, ! at 8 o’clock in the women’s pool.
