VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1934 Page 4 The Tip-Off By BILL PHIPPS Ducklings l*lay Today; OSC Hook live Strong; Small Clods of Sport Dirt S ' ENE SHIELD’S yearlings break into action again this after noon on the Igloo floor, this time against Commerce high of the Portland interscholastic loop. These Oregon youngsters are playing some schedule this winter—tomor row’s tussle will be the third this week. Wednesday night, they dropped University high 47 to 18 and then broke forth the following evening with a 46 to 23 score over the Wendling independents.. The kids like work make no mistake about, it. They’ve played so many scheduled contests now that they are about as relaxed under fire as they are in practice. Quite a bunch of colleges make a practice of farming their freshman basketball prospects to some junior college or normal school. The ar gument is that the lads get a lot more experience because these schools ordinarily slate a full schedule of games for the seqson whereas first-year men in college play only a few games and then call it quits. Experience in competition during the first year in collegiate ball is the thing that makes talented and potentially powerful youngsters in to polished and seasoned aspirants for varsity positions when they are sophomores. Taking them on two nights run ning and three in one week is good training for Shield's young Duck lings. They will run against the same proposition when they are I graduated to the varsity, if the present system of scheduling now j in vogue in the northern division of the coast loop is still being used. This Oregon freshman team, in cidentally, has been on a scoring spree so far this year. Shield’s va rious combinations of scoring ma chinery have piled up 168 points in winning four consecutive con tests for an average of 42 points per game. That looks mighty fine on paper but it is questionable how the young fellows will look when they have a taste of tough basket ball. Over at Corvallis the rook outfit has been taking on some tough quints. The Orange babes towed Albany college down the line 27 to 12 a week ago and it is a safe bet that Albany’s ball club is superior to the better prep school fives. The rooks will give the Shields club a real test when the two teams meet next weekend. Little clods of sport dirt: Bill Reinhart’s Oregon five will meet Gonzaga in Spokane on February 21, the day after the final series with Idaho. . . .

Kappa Sig ma upset the Beta handball repre sentatives two games out of three to enter the semi-finals of the tourney. McCredie was the only Beta to turn in a victory when he won his singles game from Johnson 21-13, 21-1,3. Calavan evened the score for the Kappa Sigs by trimming Powers 21-12, 21-18. The doubles team of Bobbitt and Kotchik then won the deciding contest of the af ternfton with a 21-7, 21-12 victory over Bowerman and Parke. The semi-finals of the tourna ment will bn held Monday and the finals Wednesday. Theta Chi and the Yeomen will battle in the first game Monday for the right to en ter the finals, and following that Sigma hall and the Kappa Sigs will stage their contest. The Yeomen and Sigma hall forced their way into these games with victories Thursday night over A.T.O. and S.A.M. The indepen dents took three straight from the A.T.O. s with Goad and Schneider winning their doubles game from Whitely and Kenley, while their teammates Caldwell and Chatter ton gained victories over Whitely and Edwards in the singles match es. The hall boys dropped one game in their contest with the Sammies when Felton lost to Donin. They came back to win the other tw'o matches with Chaney trimming Goldschmidt and Dunton and Win slow defeating Miller and Rosen feld.

Miller Stars Between Halves; Will Be Lawyer or Bartender By VELMA McINTYRE The most versatile player on the Oregon squad is "Judge" (Bob) Miller. Hob plays sub center, sub for ward, ami sub guard and was nii'knanu'd Judge by^ijis 1 o v i n g teammates b e - cause bis most frequent position is on the bench. He also is a pre law student so Miller the name is quite fitting. Miller, in spite of all His sub po sitions, was lined up at the begin ning of the season for a first string man but an injury to his wrist (said to have been received by requent attempts to pat him self on the back) made it impossi ble for him to hold a first team position. Miller performs beautifully be tween halves and has the almost amazing total of 152 points for the last three games. Bob was all-state forward for two years when he played for Ev i erett high school in Washington. Rumors have it that he is an ex pert boxer and wrestler, and for verification a few of his basketball j opponents might be questioned. The big center says he is the skipper of a ferry during the sum mer months in Astoria. When he isn't on the ferry, he is either serving beer or racking balls in a pool room. He is gaining all around practical experience for his vocation, however, because he has ambitions to become either a law yer or a bartender. Bob doesn't live any special place. As he says, "Just a gypsy and where I hang my hat is home." Review Prints Article On New Infra-red Hand "Infrared Band of Arsine," an article by Will V.

Yearlings Will Meet Commerce Hoopers In Igloo Tilt Tonight Portland Preppers Are Fifth Quintet To Meet Shields’ Men; Frosh Undefeated This Season By CHARLES PADDOCK With four decisive wins und»r their belts, the Oregon frosh have been pounding the Igloo floor hard this week shaping up an offense intended to sweep the Commerce high hoopers of Portland off their pins tonight, when they engage the Stenogs at McArthur court. Jlllll|lP|||L The yearlings, now under the tutelage ot Gene Shields, have swept through all opposition to date in a' thorough mahner, but the Commerce preppers are an unknown quantity, the deduction being that Shields will take no chances. Frosh Starters Named Shields will probably start Lewis and William son, both speedy scorers, at the forward positions, with Murray at center. Liebowitz is certain of a SlIiSitsIslIliiisEKS guard post and the other back court position wiil Gene Shields be given Faust. Liebowitz and the two scoring forwards have been the main point pickers in the opening games. Williamson earned a starting position by his excellent shots in the University high game. He dropped in 10 points to take high point honors. Starting in the Wendling game he again rang up 10 points. Ducklings Show Reserve Power Hardisty, Helmkin and Northam will undoubtedly see action, and Shields will also have Guthrie, Rundlett, Sprague, Milligan, Koke, Rotenburg and Newlands on hand to help down the Portland boys. If early season scores mean any thing, the Shields men should out class the high school team, but there are no comparative scores from which to estimate the rela tive strength of the two quintets. Previous Wins Impressive The frosh point totals in the opening four games are rather impressive. After starting the season by overwhelming Scott Milligan’s Longview hoopers, 33 19, they continued with wins over Eugene high and University high by identical scores, 47-18. The Wendling Cards became the fourth victims Thursday night when they were defeated 46-23. Although the immediate goal is a win over the Commerce prep . k-: pers, all eyes are on the two-game series next weekend, when the yearlings meet their traditional rivals, the O. S. C. rooks. Frosh-(looks Tilt Friday A return game with University high comes up before this series, but dishing it out to the campus youngsters should be a simple trick. The game will be played Tuesday night. The first frosh-rook tilt will take place in the Igloo here Fri day and the second at Corvallis the following evening. Finishing this series the yearling's will have played eight of their 12 scheduled games. Two of the remaining four tilts are the return series with the rooks. Morris Has Portland Classes Professor Victor P. Morris of the school of business administra tion, has been in Portland since Thursday morning where he has been conducting classes in exten sion work at Lincoln high school and the Central library.
