It was the roughest, most spectacular tussle seen on the campus this season, and time after time sent thethrong ot spectators mtu icvci ish spasms. The Webfoot coach out-smarted the Staters by installing a new system of attack to baffle their zone defense, and it worked per fectly until “Slats" Gill, O.S.C. mentor, changed from zone to a man-to-man defense. No less than four times in a row did big Wil lard Jones, Oregon center, hole out cripples following perfect execu tion of the new system by his team mates. Robertson, Olinger, and Berg played a fast game of three-corner-catch until the Bea ver forwards became impatient and plunged after the ball. This was the cue for Robertson to drib ble toward the foul line, shoot a bounce pass to W. Jones, who end ed the play with a neat shot. Beavers Stage Comeback This was the principal factor in Oregon’s success during the first half, although Oregon State was coming up fast near the end of the period. The score at the rest inter val was 16 to 7 for the Webfoots, of which Willard Jones had ac counted for 12. Similar to Washington Stale last week, Oregon State came back af ter half-time with a dangerous ral ly that threatened to unfasten the Ducks from, their comparatively safe lead. Hibbard began scoring with a cripple shot which Budd Jones nullified with a long shot from mid-court the kind L. H. Gregory of the Oregonian brands as a “howitzer” shot. Robertson added one of the same type, and Hibbard equalled this with another short one. State came within two points of catching up to the Web foots when McDonald made good a pair of throws and Hibbard dropped in his third one of the pe riod. Score: Oregon 20; Oregon State 18. Oregon Dooms as Threat Gemmell, sub for Berg, gave Oregon a 4-point lead with a short shot, but McDonald and Folen con verted free throws to bring the Beaver’s score to 20. W. Jones re taliated with a double conversion, and Jack Robertson found the coast clear for a. long dribble into the basket for a short. After Falmberg, Kidder, and O’Connell had scored field goals for the Bea vers, and Gemmel had picked up a point from the gift line for Ore gon, the score was 27 to 26, a one point advantage for the Univer sity, and the closest Oregon State came to a tie score. W. Jones scored a tough short shot and Gem mell converted, ending the game with Oregon on the long end of a 30 to 26 score. The game established Oregon as the second place team in the pres ent rankings of northern division conference members, and as an Southern Teams Even Up at Finish Of Week’s Games California Comes Back to Down TJ.S.C.

After losing the first struggle to the California Bears Friday night, 36 to 30, U. S. C. came back the following evening to complete ly rout the tall Californians, 42 to 19. In the first game, Southern Cal ifornia jumped into an early l£ad, but the fast breaking offense of the Berkeley team soon began clicking and were never again headed once they took the lead. Englehard, flashy Bear forward, carried off scoring honors with 13 points. Holbrook led the Trojan attack garnering 12 points. The Saturday night game was a one-sided affair with the deliber ate offensive game of Southern California completly baffling the Bears and led by Lee Guttero, Ward Browning and Holbrook, the Trojans won an easy victory. Stanford journeyed down to Los Angeles to completely overwhelm the U.C.L.A. Bruins Friday night, 45 to 26, in a game that saw the southern team no match for the lofty giants from Palo Alto. Top ping, Stanford forward, ran off with scoring honors, sinking seven field goals and four free throws for a total of 18 points. Captain Piper of the Bruins garnered 7 points to take second honors. The Bruins showed a reversal of form in the Saturday night game and by sheer aggressiveness eked out a close 32-31 decision from their superior rivals and evened the series. The brilliant play of Johns featuved this struggle. The score at half time was 18 all. outfit to be seriously considered when the ultimate outcome of the campaign is discussed. Huskies Clean Vandals Meanwhile, Washington finished its entire schedule with Idaho Sat urday night, winning 34 to 30, af ter a 39 to 29 victory Ihe night be fore, making it a clean sweep in the four games. Because, of a freakish schedule, the Huskies en tered her series with Washington State last night at Pullman as the undisputed leader of the division. For the same reason, Idaho starts her games with other teams under a severe moral, as well as statisti cal, handicap. Oregon-O. S. Summary game: Oregon Robertson, f Berg, f W. Jones, c Olinger, g B.

Huskies Stand Good Chance To Cop Northwest Gonfalon Editor’s nolo: This is a second of a series of articles concern ing the comparative strengths of Northwest conference basket ball teams written by Dan E. Clark, Jr,, Emerald sports writer. By DAN E. CLARK JR. From the north came ominous rumblings as the Washington Huskies completed their massacre . of Idaho last Saturday, shu t Iting- out the Van dals in their four game series for this season, and taking the open er from Wash ington State last | night. f; The Huskies | seem bent on J. Fuller Lumping LHC tuii' ference pennant for the sixth time in seven years, their only miss in the last seven being in 1933 when the Beavers from Oregon State scooped up the Northwest and Pacific coast con ference first place money. Hec Edmundson, Washington coach, has two first teams. So far this season he has seemed un able to make up his mind as to what combination is best and he has been changing his starting lineup in each game. A school that can throw two first string combinations on the floor, one equally as good as the other, is a hard outfit to beat. Idaho found this out. At the first of the season Ed mundson had Galer, his high scor ing forward, in the guard position. At one time he played Bishop, a forward, at the center post, and Cook, a guard, took over the for ward berth. All of which goes to show that the Huskies are a bunch of tall and versatile giants with their eyes on the Northwest con ference flag. Bob Galer not only tops his teammates in scoring but he now leads the Northwest conference basketeers with -18 counters. Al though idle over the week-end, MePhee, of Washington State, still had enough points to remain in a second place tie with Grenier, big Idaho center, who amassed 18 marks to jump from 13 to 31. The conference race this year has developed into a four-way fight with Idaho apparently out of it, in the cellar, and Washing ton with a good start toward the championship. At the close of last year’s bas ketball campaign at Washington, some pessimistic remarks as to this year’s chances were heard floating about the Puget Sound country. These remarks were oc casioned by the hard blow of the graduation of Johnny Fuller, stel lar forward, and the two Anton cich brothers, tall centers and de fensive luminaries. But when these downhearted Wash ingtonians looked over the 1934 prospects at the opening of this season and es pecially after the Huskies had tak en the first two from Idaho, Seat tle rang with prophecies as to how easily Washington was going to win the pennant this year. With Galer, Hanover, Weber, and Lee back and some promising newcom ers the Huskies indeed size up as the boys to beat in the Northwest this season. No matter how the score stands at the end of their two-game series with Washington State tonight the Huskies can do no more than tie with Oregon for first place. Deputation Team Visits Salem Church Sunday A deputation team representing the Wesley foundation of the Uni versity of Oregon made a visit to the Jason Lee church at Salem ! Sunday night. The team, consist ing of eight Wesley club members, led by Eula Loomis, president of the organization, took charge of the services during the evening. The theme of the service was "Are We Able.” Short speeches were given by Howard Ohmart and Francisco Tubban. Miss Dorothy Nyland, director of Wesley founda tion work, gave a talk on the pur pose of the meeting and the work of the organization. Music was furnished by a quar tet from the Wesley club. A silver offering was collected, the proceeds of which went to defray the ex penses of the trip.

The Washington Huskies are leading the race having swept the four game series with Idaho by winning last weekend’s struggles with the Vandals at Moscow, and beating Washington State college last night at Pullman, 30-28, for a record of 5 wins and no defeats. Oregon Holds Second Place The Webfoots are undisputed possessors of second place with two wins and one reverse as a re sult of halving the series with the Cougars and toppling the highly touted Staters Saturday night at Eugene, 30 to 26. The Lemon-Yel low travel to Corvallis Friday night in a return game with the Beavers, the outcome of which will have a marked bearing on the cham pionship considerations of both teams. The next week finds O.S.C. leaving on an extended road trip to Idaho and Pullman where “Slats" Gill’s men will play four games in five nights, returning to play host to Washington, Febru ary 2 and 3, with two games at Corvallis. Oregon, incidentally, takes to the road for the first time two weeks hence, meeting the Huskies at Seattle, January 26-27, enter taining the Washington five a week and a half later at McArthur court. Musiues nave Advantage Oregon State and W.S.C., now battling it out with each other for third and fourth place, meet a strong and stubborn Idaho aggre gation in games next week, a Van dal team that although losing four games to Washington, three of these by exceedingly close scores, is admittedly strong and due to win a good share of its games in the present campaign. At the present writing, Wash ington appears to be clearly with the advantage, while Oregon, a strong team with a favorable schedule, and O.S.C., although hav ing lost two crucial games, stack ing up as the most serious con tenders. Cougars Lack Reserves Washington State, although boasting the stellar Wills and John son and the veteran, Scott, and the sharpshooting McPhee, seems to be weak on reserve strength and with green sophomores taking these roles for the most part. The Cou gars should win a major share of their games and are undoubtedly still titular contenders. Idaho, off to a poor start, is due to begin clicking soon, with a pair of bril liant forwards, Klumb and Nas lund, playing bang-up ball for the Vandals along with the veteran Grenier, rangy center. From all appearances the 1934 basketball race of the northern di vision looks to be about as interest ing as the last season's football campaign. ra ra ra ra ra ra ra rm ra ra ra ra ra m m m m m Yearlings Defeat Franklin 28 to 19 In Third Victory Liebowitz and Hardisty Scoring Leaders; Leavens Stars For Losers Gene Shields' frosh hoop team won its third straight game Satur day afternoon at the expense of Franklin high, 28 to 19. The Ducklings had little advan tage in the opening period leading 6-5 at the end of ten minutes. They soon found themselves, how ever, and at half time led 16-9. From then on the frosh led easily, stopping every would-be Franklin rally. Sam Liebowitz of the year lings led the scoring with 13 coun ters, while his teammate, Hardisty, scored 8.' Leavens, reserve Quaker guard, scored 6 points. Next Saturday the frosh will en tertain Commerce high of Port land.

GROUP SUGGESTS NEW AMENDMENT TO LAWS (Continued from Page One) which time the student body will vote on proposed constitutional changes. In this way students will have a chance to express their opinions on each amendment. At the general election during the spring term, the amendments will have been incorporated into a newly-formed constitution, the whole to be voted on at that time. “The committee,” said Hieber, “has been consulting constitutions from many other schools, and Tom Tongue has contacted several stu dent body presidents on the coast in an effort to acquire information useful in conducting student gov ernment.” The committee will meet again on Saturday. “Patronize Emerald advertisers.’' u izj ur \u Your Tuxedo Is returned in a dust-proof bag dkcfociCigy Cfeanm Phone 300 All-Campus Handball And Ping-Pong Meets Open Monday in Gym The official all-campus hand ball and pingpong tournaments will open next Monday in the men’s gym and on the hand ball courts and will be run in a straight elimination form.

IB Mermen Hold First Session OfYearToday Appoint Hoyman Coach Of Oregon Teams Prospects for Competitive Meets Bright; Five Veterans Listed For Varsity Outfit All aspirapts for the varsity and frosh swimming teams are asked to report to Coach Hoy man at the swimming pool at 4 p. m. . Swimming made its official re entrance into University sport circles yesterday with the an nouncement by Hugh Rosson and John F. Bovard that H. S. Hoy man, instructor in physical educa tion, had been appointed swim ming mentor of varsity and fro'sh teams. Swimming Discontinued in 1933 Since 1932 swimming had been off the list of Duck sports, and Oregon aquatic stars had made only desultory appearances. The cessation of swimming was not due to lack of talent, but to the fact that money for swimming and other minor sports was not forthcoming. With the “new deal” in Oregon athletics, it was felt that swim ming should be put back on the schedule of sports, and yesterday's announcement was in accord with opinion in athletic circles. Five Veterans Back The 1934 edition of the Web foot team will probably be built around the five mermen who took part in the Oregon-Canada tryouts and meet—Jim Reed, Wally Hug, Francis Oglesby, Nason Newport, and Bob Needham. Chuck Reed, another of those who took part in that meet, is a freshman, and will compete on the frosh team. The Oregon team will probably take part in six matches, includ ing the Northwest meet in Port land, March 17. Negotiations are being conducted with a view to scheduling meets with O. S. C., Washington, and Multnomah Ath letic club of Portland. The Frosh will probably schedule two or three meets. secretary 111 Miss Margaret Reed, secretary to Dr. Wayne L. Morse, dean of the University law school, is ill and will be absent for a week.
