Tip-Off

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. . . . Bill Bowerman,
Webfoot quarterback in 1931 and
1932, placed on the scholastic
honor roll of the University after
the fall term grades were tabu
lated. . . . San Francisco sport
pages state that the athletic lilt
between Santa Clara and St.
Mary’s has been patched and the
Broncs and Gaels will meet on
the gridiron next fall. . . . Ken
Wills, Washington State's slmrp
shooting guard, is the best miler
in the Northwest. . . . His track
proficiency accounts for his being
able to drive at top speed through
out a basketball contest without
tiring. . . . He would be even
harder to hold down on the court
if he would work a change of pace
along with his running stride. . . .
Remember the way Ken Fagans,
Oregon State’s great guard, used

Yeomen Win Three Games in How
While Sigma Hall Triumphs
In Thursday's Battle
Beta Theta Pi, who has copped
j every donut sports championship
this season, was eliminated last
night as contenders for the intra
mural handball title. 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."

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.
