Tip-Off

lire Edmundson Proves
Substituting Is Decided j
Asset in Winning Games
Editor’s note: As this col
umn is, with the exception of
slight, additions, written be
fore 6 o’clock on the day
previous to publication, mental
telepathy must have taken
place between Coach Bill Rein
hart and the writer of this
column. It is barely possible,
of course, that Bill might have
read this column shortly after
it went to the press, but at any
rate it gives the writer no lit
tle satisfaction to note the
fine performances turned in by
the VVehfoot reserves in the
second game with Washing
ton last night.
A FTER a glanqe at those ram
paging Washington Huskies
Monday night it isn't at all diffi
cult to see why they are coasting
along on the crest of the northern
division wave. The reason is
summed up in one word—substi
tutes.
The five Oregon men who
started the game clearly displayed
that they were capable of holding
their own and even of carrying
the fight to Hec Edmundson’s in
vading horde so long as Hec kept
his starting quintet on the floor.
For five men to play a whole
game and practically all of an
additional overtime period against
five opponents is one thing, but
for five men to play 45 minutes
of driving, wearing basketball
against ten men is something en
tirely different. It is small won
der that the Huskies, after Hec
had rotated his men throughout
the gruelling tilt, could come back
during the last few minutes to
tie up the score and then forge
ahead of the valiant but tiring
Webfoots in the extra session.
Hec Edmundson has more thaft
a good ball team, he has a good
ball club. Every man on the
Washington travelling squad is
ready at any time to go into the
fray without seriously impairing
the efficiency of the combination.
Not that the reserves Hec calls
on are as good as the high scoring
Galer, the sensational dribbling
Lee, the defensively powerful
Wagner, Hanover or Weber but
the difference is so slight that
a spare can be sent into t lie game
and carry on until the man tie lias
replaced is fresli again.
It is simply beyond the limits
of human endurance for five men
to forge out ahead in a game in
which those five face ten men who
are practically as good players
An example of what happens in
addition to a general slowing up
came Monday night when Willie
Jones had a chance to tie the
score or even put Oregon in front
during the overtime canto.
Willie had two free throw at
tempts but he muffed them both.
A bit later he had another chance
to toss one in from the gift line
but again he missed. Anyone
misses them once in a while, par
ticularly in a crucial game which
is played under such tremendous
pressure as was that one on Mon
day night. Willie is now a sea
soned player familiar to the strain
of high-class competition and on
top of that, he is a good foul shot,
making a high percentage of his
free tries. The trouble was only
that Willie was tired. For better
than 40 minutes he had withstood
the terrific pace but tlmt can only
go on for so long and Willie was
beginning to wilt.
When a man gets exhausted in
basketball it not only means he
doesn't move as fast but it means
that he doesn’t handle himself as
well. He loses his control and his
eye no longer has the sharpness
that it had when he was fresh.
Had Willie been favored with a
substitute for a time so he could
get a little much-needed rest the
odds are 10 to one that he would
have holed at least two of those
fouls.
On the Oregon varsity roster
this year are reserves that have
never got past the advance pub
licity stage. Ron Gemmell has
seen some action and so has Bob
Miller but they have not been in
the thick of it enough this year
to feel at home with the first
string combination even when
they do get their chances. Jim
Watts played plenty of minutes

Last night marked the finish of
division competition in intramural
volleyball. The champions of the
five divisions in both “A” and “B”
squads will be matched for the
next three days to determine the
two leading teams on the campus.
Four games will be played this af
ternoon and the remainder tomor
row. Finals are due Friday.
The A.T.O. “B" squad won over
Theta Chi last night to qualify as
the fifth contestant in that sec
tion. Other “B” teams in the play
off are Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi
Delta Theta, Yeomen, and Sherry
Ross.
Betas Win
The Beta "A" squad defeated
Delta Upsilon, and the Spees beat
Chi Psi, making themselves eligi
ble for the determining series. The
other “A” division winners are
Theta Chi, Yeomen, and the Phi
Delts.
Yeomen, Phi Delts and Sigma
Phi Epsilon each have two teams
in the field. The Betas, leading all
donut competition, failed to place
a "B" squad but have a strong
‘‘A” team in the winning list.
Cunningham and Bowerjnan
sparked them to a 15-7, 10-9 vic
tory over their last division obsta
cle, the Delta Upsilons, last night.
Hegdahl, for the losers, spiked
more than his share but failed to
receive the needed cooperation.
S.P.E. Takes Contest
The S.P.E. team hesitated al
most too long when it met the
Chi Psis' “A” team. After eking
out a 15-13 victory in the opening
game, they dropped the second,
5-15. A complete reversal of form
in the final set-to enabled them
to take a love game. It was Foley
and Elliot at the net who did the
winning work, especially in the
La Casa Filipina took ail easy
victory from the S.A.E. six, 15-12,
15-6. The Islanders distinguished
themselves with a peculiar brand
of volleyball, in which they dis
dained to “set up,” but whacked
it over the net from any place on
the floor. It seemed to work rath
er well and baffled the orthodox
Sigma Alpha Epsilons completely.
The Filipinos had only a four man
squad. This was an “A” league
contest.
A.T.O. had an easy afternoon
subduing the Sammies. The work
of Wilson and Stranix far out
classed that of fiery-haired Red
Rotenberg and his cohorts. The
final count was, 15-9, 15-3.
A.T.O. “B's” also had no diffi
culty in downing Theta Chi. The
score was 15-1, 15-5. The Beta
"B” team was quite superior to
Zeta hall, even though dropping
the second game of the contest.
Siegmund, as usual, shone for the
winners and Vander Zanden did
most of the work ®or the hall team.
Final score: 15-2, 11-5, 15-6.
As the teams swung into the
final day of the division games
last night, not a single forfeit was
listed. More than 75 players pa
raded their volleyball abilities
during the course of the evening.
last year but so far he has not
been in the Duck lineup. Glen
Sanford, Roland Rourke, and Ed
Kunkle likewise have been carried
on the squad but have not broken
into the lineup.
Whether or not these last four
men can play ball this year is
something we cannot ascertain as
we haven’t seen them in action
against coast conference opposi
tion, but it is a cinch they can
never improve sitting on the
bench and it is also evident that
Oregon cannot expect five players
to come out on top while facing
the overwhelming odds of pitting
their strength against that of
twice as many men.

Score of .36-30
Reinhart Reverses Usual Tactics
Iiy Using Flock of Reserves
Against Washington
(Continued from Ptir/r One)
Score: Washington 16, Oregon 12.
Olinger worked around for a
clever short shot to open the scor
ing of the second canto. Merrin,
sub Washington center, counted
for a short shot, and Galer dropped
in another, after faking Olinger
out of bounds. Willie Jones made
a shot from the gift line good, and
Hanover boosted the Huskies’
score with a long shot from mid
court, calling for another Oregon
time-out. When play was resumed,
Weber and Galer swished the net
with field goals, to make the score
26 to 15. Jim Watts, a veteran of
two years standing, who has rid
den the bench all season, was sub
stituted for Bill Berg, and played
heads-up ball for the rest of the
game.
Willie Jones and Robertson
counted for three Oregon points,
and Weber of Washington scored
on a fast break for the hoop. Bud
Jones pushed Hal Lee, who con
verted both free throws. Jones was
jerked from the lineup, although
he was one of the Oregon main
stays up to that point.
Watts Tallies
After several tries for the bas
ket, Watts poked one in from the
foul line, but the score was still 30
to 20 against Oregon. Hanover
scored for the Huskies on a simi
lar shot, and Glen Sanford went
into the tilt for Robertson, who
had started the second half. Bud
Jones returned to the lineup for
Miller. Lee scored three points on
a neat overhead short shot and a
conversion on Willie Jones’ foul.
After Sanford recovered from
his first flash of ambition, when
he lost the ball at the end of a
long dribble, he played in brilliant,
aggressive style, scoring six points
in the last 10 minutes. His first
basket came at this point, a push
shot from the foul circle.
Subs (Jo in
Cook, Wyman, and McKinstry
replaced Hanover, Lee, and Weber
in the Washington lineup, but the
first string men were rushed back
into the tilt when the Webfoot
subs ran the score up to 28. Wash
ington had 35.
The Washington first team
started immediately to stall, and
a rousing battle for possession of
ball ensued. All 10 players pound
ed up and down the floor, losing
the ball, then regaining it, and
missing numerous tries at the br/
ket. At the end of Oregon's vig
orous rally came Gemmell’s short,
follow-in shot, a vain try by Gem
mell from the free throw line, and
a short try by Watts that rimmed
the hoop and fell out. Herrin
dropped in a free throw on Watts'
foul to end the game.

Sons Turn Back
Mike’s All-Stars
With 47-21 Win
The Oregon All-Stars’ southern
invasion brought the ex-gridsters
a loss at the hands of Howard
Hobson’s Southern Oregon normal
five 47-21, and a win over Klam
ath Falls Townies, 29-27.
On Friday night the Sons were
primed to take the All-Stars, and
led by Yandle and Howell, ran
wild during the first minutes. Af
ter four minutes the score was
8-1. Coach Hobson sent in a flock
of substitutes, and the All-Stars
managed to pull up somewhat but
never threatened. Long, with sev
en points, and Cuppoletti with
five, led the All-Star attack.
Journeying to Klamath Falls,
the All-Stars met easier opposition
and eked out a victory over the
home team. Cuppoletti scored 11
points for the invaders.
The schedule this week finds the
All-Stars playing Hood River on
the latter’s home grounds, next
Saturday. A week from Saturday
the team goes to Bend.

ly upset Julius Scruggs and Hen
driksen. The men in the other half
of the bracket who have gained
their way into the quarter-finals

Frosh Team
High Tonight
Tilt to Be Played in Prep

Ford Danner Leads Purple Horde;
Frosh Out to Lengthen
List of'Vletories
The green Ducklings of Oregon,
who have polished off all of their
high school opponents so far, will
take on Eugene high tonight in
the latter’s gym at 7:30 o'clock.
The frosh have not met any real
competition to test their mettle,
the closest game being in the pre
vious game with the Eugene prep
pers. The yearlings won 22-19, but
obviously coasted most of the way.
Liebowitz Shows Class
In a way, the season showing of
the frosh has been successful. At
times they lQok like champions,
and play rings around their op
ponents. Sam Liebowitz has al
most always led the way with his
wonderful dribbling and floor
work.
Many times he has led the op
posing defense out of position, al
lowing his team mates to make
the score. John Lewis has also
done some fine playing. These
two have been the most consist
ent, although Ray Williamson us
ually comes through with a goodly
number of points.
Fight on for Center Job
A number of the squad are push
ing the first stringers. Harry
Helmken and Joe Murray have
see-sawed back and forth in the
battle for the pivot post. Roy
Northam and Dale Hardisty may
break into the lineup.
Arnold Faust seems fairly cer
tain of his position at the other
guard, although he is experiencing
a slump in point-getting.
Eugene High Strong
The Purple Horde of Eugene
high has shown great potentiali
ties. Coach Fritz Kramer was
faced with the loss of Roy North
am and three others from the 1933
squad that placed fourth in the
state tournament.
