VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1934 Page 4 Washington Huskies Virtually Clinch Title By Wins Over Ducks California Bears Climb to First Place In Southern Position by Taking Two From U.C.L.A. Bruins By BILL AETZEL The Washington Huskies virtually cinched the 1934 north ern division basketball crown Iasi weekend by decisively de feating the second-place Oregon quintet, in both of the games at Seattle, while the Oregon State champions, the only other mathematical contender for tin* 1934 title, were splitting a twin bill with the lowly Cougar five at Pullman. The apparently invincible Washington machine has passed the half-way point in the hoop race with an impressive record of eight consecutive victories and no defeats to so completely dominate the position at the top' of the heap that fans are begin ning to discuss possibilities of the purple-a n d-gold casaba artists driving through to the title with an unblemished record. Huskies Have Eight More Coach Hec Edmundson’s boys have eight more gruelling tests before the season’s over, inaugu rating the second half of the race with games at Corvallis and Eu gene within the next week, and in all probability will be toppled over by one or more of the four other teams that are anxiously awaiting the chance for this honor. Nevertheless, the Huskies have performed a remarkable feat to date, and barring the most drastic upset should win the right to rep resent the north in the Pacific coast playoff against the southern division titleholder, in the post season series to be played in Cali fornia this yenr. Beavers in Second Spot Oregon State now rests in sec ond place with four wins and as many losses, while the Webfoots appear in third spot with 2 wins and 4 defeats. The two Oregon quints are on the ragged edge of title contention, with one more re versal to eitner or corn teams sure to snuff out any chance at the crown. The Washington State five has suffered six defeats and is defi nitely out of the race, while Idaho i with five losses has a slim mathe matical taut hardly a practical chance at the title, no team ever having won the conference title with more than four setbacks. Guler Buns Wild After Bob Galer, the stellar high scoring forward of the Hus kies, had been effectively checked by Gib Olinger in Friday night's game, which the Washington team won 33-28, the flashy Husky bas keteer ran wild in the following night’s melee to score 14 points and carry his teammates to a 34 to 25 win. Although the game was tied up at half time, 16 all, the Webfoot invaders were lead ing most of the time and it was largely the five field goals in that first period that kept Washington in the fight. The Orangemen from Corvallis gave indications that they might be on their way to another con ference title, or at least to seri ously contest the claims of the Seattle boys when they turned back the Cougars at Pullman Fri day night, 26 to 23, but blasted that threat when the avenging Cougars smothered the Orange under a barrage of baskets to win the struggle Saturday night by a score of 24 to 15. The Gillinen, incidentally, were held to three lone field goals during the dura tion of the game. Bears Bead in South Down south ttie deadlock was broken when California went into the lead as a result of two wins over U. C. L. A., while Southern California, defending champions, were dividing a twin bill with an inspired Stanford horde which up set the Trojans completely in the Saturday court struggle to lead throughout the game and win, 35 to 31. The Cardinal lioopmen were little match for the strong U. S. C team in the Friday game and Lee Guttero, flashy Trojan center, scored 13 points to carry his team' r Northern Division Washington Oregon State Oregon . W. L.

Hol brook and Browning were other high scorers for the Los Angeles team, while Keith Topping and Anderson, Stanford forwards, were outstanding for the invaders. Idaho 2 5 .287 • Stanford Turns Tables The* following night’s game showed a complete reversal of form. In one of the roughest games of the extremely rough game of basketball played in the California l<iop, the driving Palo Alto team smothered Guttero and consequently broke up the brilliant Trojan offense. It was then the Cards’ turn to act and led by An derson, who tallied 13 points, the fast-breaking Stanford team led throughout the game and won 35 to 31. The invaders led at half time, 17 to 13, and at one time were ahead, 31 to 16. An offensive drive on the part of the revamped Southern California quint was a little short of victory. Coach Barry of the Trojans used two full teams in the fray in an at tempt to stem the Stanford ava lanche. U. C. 1.. A. In Last Place The California Bears are sitting at the top of the standings, win ning both games with apparent ease from U. C. L. A., by scores of 46 to 31, and 39 to 28. Captain Hal Eifert, forward, and Dave Meek, center, were the offensive giants for the Bears in both games while Don Piper, Uclan forward ace, turned in good per formances for the losers. Both teams used almost three full teams in the first game, and two teams in the final fray. Stanford by her win Saturday climbed a notch out of the cellar, leaving U. C. L. A. as the sole possessor of that position. University (Graduate Receives Promotion Daniel N. Longaker, who com pleted his University course at the summer session and received his B. S. degree this month, was re cently promoted to the vice-presi dency of the I. Newton Kinsey company, insurance brokers, in Philadelphia.

BROADWAY Telephone 470 Shields Plans Changes After Rook Victorv Frosh Disaster to Bring Possible Shake-up Yearlings Start Intensive Practice For Three Weekend Games; Center Post Uncertain The Duckling hoopers, home from a disastrous trip to Corval lis, have a three-day period of in tensive training awaiting them. The f rosh showed occasional flashes of potential power, but were far too spasmodic to take two games in a row from the baby Beavers, losing the second game at Corvallis 22-19. After piling up a nice lead in the last half, the frosh proceeded to blow it, and before they knew it, found themselves behind, and a last-minute spurt proved of no avail. Sam Liebowitz, guard, who scored eight points, was the only player to come close to the frosh performance of Friday night. Shields Plans Changes Several players on the first team are holding their positions by a thread, and Coach Shields will probably effect a few changes in the lineup. The center post is the most uncertain. Harry Helm kin and Joe Murray divided the job, but neithet showed up any too well against the towering Wellington, who in spite of his “Riegels” boner, played well in both games. Williamson, forward, who scored nine points Friday night, slumped, as did Faust. This week the Ducklings play three games over the weekend. Thursday night they journey to Wendling. Friday and Saturday they trek up to northern Oregon, taking on Astoria and Salem. Sa lem, it will be recalled, handed the rooks their first defeat. Stiff Competition Expected This pair of games should fur nish the frosh their hardest prep competition thus far, and now that they are freed from the re sponsibility of keeping up the string of victories, should rapidly round into shape for the (third and fourth rook tilts. Summary of Saturday’s game with the rooks: Referee: Dwight Adams, Salem.

Although they lost their first game by a 14-16 score, the A.T.O.'s, led by Stranix, came back strong to take the last two matches and the series from the hall outfit. Flick and Michek were the men on the losing team who provided most of the opposition. Turning in the second shutout victory of this year's schedule, the Yeomen maintained their place at the top of Division II with a 15-0, 15-2 victory over a weak Phi Psi six. Husky Howard Ohmart was again the leader of the Indepen dent men’s attack, while Murphy turned in the best game for the vanquished team. The Phi Sigs and Sigma Chi, carrying their water fighting feud of the past few weeks onto the volleyball court, had a merry time batting the ball back and forth with the tall Wheelock and the taller Palmer proving the margin of victory for the Sigma Chi team, Moore and Massey were the main threats of the losers. Although Omega hall finally lost their match with Kappa Sigma Their Status Is Moot Question Here are the two University or Iowa athletes who caused such a furore in California athletic circles during the past week: Duane Wil son (left) and Bud Froning, left the mid-west university to enter the University of Southern California—intention, among other things, basketball. Cries of “proselyting” went up from mid-west athletic officials despite denial of the youths they had been asked to come to u. s. c. they made a close battle of it all through the game, with the final score 15-9, 16-14. White and Gie secke were the most offensive players for the victors, while Kid der turned in a good game for the hall team. In the other event on the after noon's schedule Omega hall won an easy match from the Chi Psis with BJantz and Winston furnish ing most of the kills. For the los ers Wells was the most effective. Beta Theta Pi remained unde feated at the top of their league when they were awarded a for feit victory over Sigma Nu.

Bids for Title Spook Robertson Heads Webfoot Scoring Oregon Reposes in Third Spot While Oregon State Moves To Second Place The University of Washington hoo.p five retained its undefeated, undisputed lead in the northern division of the Pacific coast con ference against a challenging Web foot team last weekend. The sec ond game of Ihe series was won by the Huskies Saturday night, 34 to 25, after a victory by the same outfit the night before. As a result of their unsuccessful invasion into the dangerous Seat tle territory, the Ducks were un compromisingly set back into third place in the conference stand ings, with Washington and Ore gon State ahead. Galer Dominates Situation The tilt last Saturday night in Seattle was dominated by the ac c u r r a t e sharpshooting of the league’s leading scorer, Washing ton’s Bob Galer, who personally ac counted for 14 points, over half of the entire Oregon score. Coach Bill Reinhart’s husky, young team stole the show from the opening curtain until near the close of the first act. The Ducks had plenty of fire and built up a lead at the start of the game, only to see Washington climb up the scoring ladder to tie the Webfoots 16 to 16 at the rest period. Robertson Gets 11 Points Willie Jones put Oregon in the lead for the last time with a free throw at the beginning of the sec ond half. Then Galer opened up his private fireworks and kept the Huskies ahead from there on out. “Spook" Rqbertson added mate rially to the Oregon total during the tilt with 11 markers, but Galer won the scoring duel with a heal thy three-point margin. The-Hus kies put the game on ice at a point in the second period, when Wag ner, Washington center, hit the hoop for three successive goals.
