TUESDAY JANUARY 17. 1933 _Page_4_ Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY VCHAT was the reason for the i ” unexpectedly severe drubbings the Webfoots received from Wash Slats 0)11 mgton State last week - end ? Poor defensive play ? Perhaps. Lack of drive on the of fensive ? Partly, perhaps. This writer is no au thority on bas ketball. put there’s one rea son anyone can figure out. The chief cause, especially in Saturday night’s game, was the high shoot ing average of the Pullman quin tet. In the last game of the series the Cougars made 70% of their shots good, while only 25% of the Oregon shots went through the net. When a team can make three-fourths of its shots good it will take a mighty strong and clever outfit to beat them. * * * The Cougars were evidently way off in their shooting last night for they made only five baskets in the entire game against O. S. C. The Oregon State zone defense was chiefly responsible for that, however, for the Cougars got off few shots that were not hurried. At present, with "Slats” Gill’s Beavers setting such a hot pace, it looks like the race is all be tween the Corvallis boys and Hee Edmundson’s high scoring Huskies. However, it is far too early to start predicting and I doubt if even Crystal W. Ball, himself, could pick the winner— other than laying about five dol lars on Washington. # * * Hobby Hobson took one on the chin at Ashland last week when Cliff "Chief” McLean, star Indian forward for the Rons, was forced to drop out of school when it was found that he didn’t have enough credits to even get him out of high school. It seems that the Ashland officials failed to check up very closely when he entered. He lacks several units required for graduation in the Portland high schools. At present he is In Port land, contemplating fixing them up so he can again shine for some needy college outfit. * * * Whenever the news gets dull you can always expect some thing to pop up about Joe Lil lard, once Oregon’s star athlete. Yesterday Max Pulido brought in a program advertising the Savoy Big Five, Chicago pro fessional basketball team. Be neath a big picture of the dusky star was the caption, ‘‘Savoy Big Five, featuring ‘Smoky’ Joe Lillard, all-American halfback at Oregon University.” • * « The colored team’s advertising manager was not the least bit modest about the prowess of the Savoy Five. Playing with Lillard are the following, as described on the program: "Line” Stephens, four-letter man at Toledo univer sity; "Cooney” Brown, Colgate, “America’s greatest basketball player," Bob Bolton, former N. Y. U. star; "Rabbi” McDonald, no re lation of "Red” MacDonald’s at Oregon State, and Chas. Fisher, Northwestern, six foot five inch center "greatest in colored bas ketball.” * * * Here’s the prize story of the year—at least the prize basket ball yarn. It concerns “Long Tom” Picked, all-American bas ketball center at Arkansas, and now a member of the national champion Wichita Henry squad.

Tonight's score was 26 to , 14. The Beavers : led in the series, two games to one. “ The game was featured by close cnecmng on tne part or coin lives, with the Bever zone defense click ing to perfection. The Cougars were far off from the spectacular formances they gave at Eugene last week and missed a large per centage of their shots. The score at half time was 13 to 8 in favor of Oregon State. Defense Tight So close was the defensive play that three minutes elapsed in the second half before Rogers, Cou gar forward, tossed in a field goal to put the Cougars within three points of the Beavers. That was as close as the invaders from the Northwest got, however, for Lewis, Hibbard and MacDonald ran the score up to 20 to 10, before the Cougars could find the basket again. Captain Ed Lewis led the scor ing parade with eight points, fol lowed by Skeet O’Connelly with seven. Huntly Gordon scored six points for Washington State.

My Greatest Thrill in Athletics By PAUL H. STARR (/Is told to Ned Simpson) rpHE greatest thrill that I ever -*■ experienced occurred last spring up in Seattle at the Northwest 1‘uul Starr Olympic tryouts, when I managed to win the 100 und 200 meter sprints. The try outs were run concurrently with the North west conference meet, and a victory meant a double honor — that of winning a first place for the uuiTvi.iitj nuu ui. wiuumg a chance to further compete in the later Olympic tests down in Cali fornia. Saturday the day of the finals —turned out to be bright and clear, and we all knew that this was THE day. The 100 meter race came off early on the pro gram, and was run from west to east right in front of the south stands of the Washington stadium. As I remember, there was only one false start in this race, and when we did get away it was with a bang. 1 was behind for the first 70 meters or so, but managed to pull up with the leaders near the finish, and won by six or seven feet. We had some little while to wait until the furlong' took place, and several swell races were run in this time. In the 400 meter test, Johnny Marrs and Art Hol man finished in a dead-head for first place. That was a thrill in itself, seeing two of your own teammates in a tie for first. Fin ally the 200 meters was announced and we all went over to the start of the long straightaway, that runs in an exactly opposite direc tion from the 100 yard course. There was quite a wind blowing against us, and when we got away it seemed as if I never would get out of that wind. However, in the last 80 yards we were in the shel ter of the stadium walls where the wind didn’t bother me so much, and I managed to pull away to win by ten feet or so. Boy, was that a tough grind! Paul Starr, who originally hail ed from Cody, Wyoming, a little town right near the eastern gate of the Yellowstone park, is Ore gon’s big threat on the cinder track. He won the Northwest championship last year in the 100 and 200 meter sprints, and the 200 meter crown the year before. Be Ex-S tin lent Publish es Hook on Political Life Claude E. Robinson, Oregon student body president in 1924, has recently completed the book "Straw Votes A Study of Poli tical Prediction,” which is now on the general circulation shelf at the old library.

By BEN BACK When fellows like Mike Mikulak, Bree Cuppoletti, and Bud Pozzo start getting made at each other as they did last night in intramu ral volleyball one naturally thinks that this is a rough sport. All three of these fellows got “hot,” especially Mikulak, when he had the ball fired into his face a cou ple of times. Old “Iron Mike” played a whale of a volleyball game although his team, the Pi Kaps, lost both games to the Phi Delt outfit. Sigma Chi won two games and Webfoot“Husky Fracas To Start At Later Hour t SATURDAY night’s hoop tilt ^ between Oregon and the University of Washington will start at 8:15 in place of the usual tip-off time of 7:30.

Roland Johnson, much publici cized sophomore forward, came through in a big way and garnered 17 points, with Bobby Cross, a vet eran of two years, accounting for 13 more. Gib Olinger was high point man for Oregon with nine. As in Friday night’s game the boys from Pullman started out with the opening whistle and amassed a lead that was never threatened. After 12 minutes of play the lively northerners held a 24-8 advantage. By half-time, however, Oregon cut down the dif ference until only nine points sep arated the scores. ILLUSION: j One of Iloudini's most spectacular escape feats ‘ was performed with a huge milk can tilled with water. He invited persons of the audience to bring padlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the can, the lid was put on and fastened with several padlocks. A screen was placed in front of the can. Assistants stood by with stop watches and fire axes to save him from drowning after a certain time. About a minute later, the screen was removed, lloudini was seen panting and dripping... the padlocks remaining intact! EXPLANATION: The usual method of escaping from a milk can is as follows: The lid of the can is apparently secure ly padlocked to the lower portion, but actually the metal band to which the staples are attached is the top of a stum inner lining. The performer, after being locked into the can, pushes the lid upward with his head and the short inner lining is forced out of place, permitting his escape. The screen is then removed.

JUST COSTLIER TOBACCOS IN A MATCHLESS BLEND It's beat to be Tooieb ... it's more teat to Tjvoiv What exciting magic there is in cigarette advertising! Let’s look at one of its greatest illusions ...that cigarettes can be mysteriously given superior " flavor." the explanation: Just three factors con trol the flavor of a cigarette.The addition of artificial flavoring...the blending of various tobaccos...and the quality of the tobaccos themselves. Quality is the most impor tant. Artificial flavoring can never wholly disguise the poor flavor of cheap tobaccos. The blending of several cheap, raw to baccos cannot improve the flavor of any of them. A fine cigarette is a cigarette blended from costly, ripe tobaccos. It is a fact, well known by leaf to bacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. This is why the Camel flavor has never been rivaled . . . why Camels have given more pleasure to more people than any other cigarette ever made. In more costly tobaccos lies the secret of Camels’ delicate “bouquet”...of their rich, cool flavor—of their non-irritating mildness. It’s the tobacco that counts. All the natural goodness of Camel’s to bacco is kept fresh and rich for you by the air-tight, welded Humidor Pack. Don’t re move it. Its moisture-proof cellophane also protects your Camels from dust and germs. Put a pack in your pocket today. _ .j •
