VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1934 Page 4 Records Fall As Webfoot Natators Win Me«lica Cracks National Collegiate 220 Mark Pacific Coast Backstroke Record . Broken by .Jim Reed; Hus Leads I’oint-Makers “ By George Jones Two records were broken Satur day afternoon as the heretofore unheralded and unsung Webfoot swimming team rose to thoroughly trounce the University of Wash ington Huskies by a 49-35 score. An over-capacity crowd saw the meet, which was held in Gerlinger. Mike Hoyman’s proteges started out by taking the 400-yard relay, and were never seriously threat ened. Jack Medica lived up to advance notices by negotiating the 220 free style in 2:13.3, exactly two seconds better than the national intercol legiate record set by Johnny Schmieler of Michigan.' The Hus ky streak came in an easy first. Reed Breaks Record A new star rose on the north west swimming horizon in the per son of Jim Reed. Reed, who Swims the backstroke, rose from compar ative obscurity to nose out Pete Dix of Washington, and in doing so lowered the Pacific coast inter collegiate record of 1:49.5 to a new time of 1:46.5. Wally Hug, versatile Webfoot, scored 12 points to lead the indi vidual scoring. He took firsts in the 50 and 100 free style events, and participated for the winning Oregon team in the 300-yard med ley relay race. Medica, who swam today under the watchful eyes of Ray Daughters, Washington Ath letic club coach, was close behind with 11 counters. He chalked up firsts in the 220 and 440 and, also competed in the medley relay. Be hind them were Jim Reed of Ore gon, and Chuck Mucha of Wash ington, with seven and six points respectively. Medley Relay Is Thriller The best race on the program from the spectators’ point of view, was the final one, the 300-yard medley relay. Jim Reed again out swim Dix in the backstroke, and gave Forrest Kerby, breaststroker, a small margin. Kerby came through to increase the lead great ly and gave Hug a large margin to work on. Medica was Hug's opponent, and most of those present expected the Seattle swim streak to crawl up and pass Hug. The Webfoot na t^tor, however, kept his lead, and finished well ahead of Medica. Oregon Divers Win Ladd Sherman and Max Calan dra surprised the most ardent Webfoot supporters by grabbing first and second places. This event clinched the meet for the Ducks, who went on to take the 300-yard medley.

Handball and volleyball “A” and "B" league competition has al ready been completed since the first of the year and following this week of rest wrestling will be held next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The mat tournament is slated to count not only for points in house competition but the winners of the various weight classes will be giv en the all campus title in the event also. A straight elimination tourna ment will be conducted and a cer tain number of counters given to each contestant depending on how far he advances. Therefore the more men any house enters in the tourney the better chance it has of piling up points. According to Earl E. Boushey, supervisor of donut sports, the in dependent men so far have the greatest number of entries and al so have included in their roster the better known campus mat men.

Ducks Reach Middle Place In Hoop Race Webfoots Beat Vandals Saturday, 31-22 ‘Spook’ Robertson Leads Scoring With II Points; Excessive Fouls Mar Game By BILL EBERHART Oregon’s basketball stock boomed 150 points over the week end with the annexing of a pair Robertson of wins over the invading Idaho Vandals. This puts the Web foots in an easy third place posi tion in northern j division rankings two notches above their cel lar standing be fore the Idaho series. In a rough, sloppy contest Sat urday night, the Ducks defeated the Moscow team for the second time, 31 to 22. It has been uni versally branded as the most un interesting game played in the Igloo this season, despite Oregon's victory. The tilt was immeasur ably slowed down by 29 called fouls and a multitude of held balls. Oregon Takes Dead Oregon took the lead at the start and held it throughout. After two minutes of seemingly aimless play, Willie Jones opened the scoring for (^regon when he holed out the rebound from Olin ger's missed foul try. Wally Ger aghty, small Idaho guard, con verted after being fouled by Olin ger. Six minutes later Oregon was ahead, 6 to 1, after Olinger’s crip ple and Robertson’s long, plus many missed passes and ineffec tive skirmishes by both teams. Advantage 17 to 7 Glenn “Lefty” Naslund, Vandal forward, sunk a long one-handed push shot for his team’s first field goal after nine minutes had elapsed. Then Olinger and Rob ertson each made two free throws after being fouled by W. Geraghty and Naslund. Baskets by Olinger and Rourke for Oregon, and Fisher ^for Idaho ended the half, with th,e score 17 to 7 in the' bucks’ fayor. The Second period .was a wild melee pf missed shots and called fouls. The scoring was started by Berg, who connected for two con versions. After Robertson ac couhted for four points on two long shots, making the score 23 to 7, there ensued eight minutes of wild scrambling and ragged playing. Howard Grenier and Wally 6eraghty, both of Idaho, were expelled from the game by Referee Coleman, who thought he had seen both boys commit four personal fouls apiece. Substitutes Plentiful With about five minutes lu play, Coaches Fox and Reinhart sprin kled their lineups with substi tutes, which contributed to a still wilder performance.

The Orangemen added to the humiliation of the slipping Idaho Vandals by handing the invaders their third straight defeat since they left Moscow last week. Stanford’s Track Prospects Rosy as Many Stars Return Veterans in All Events Will Compete STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 12—(Special to the Emerald) —A balanced team with at least one good performer in every event —that is a summary of the pros pects of Robert Lyman (Dink) Templeton’s 1934 Stanford track and field team. Templeton, who is entering his fourteenth season as head coach, may have one of his best teams in spite of the fact that he lost many good athletes. Missing will be: Abe Hables, Frank Lombardi, and Art Rice in the sprints; Ben East n;§p, Frank Fullenwider, and Don Blackman in the 440; George Nay Ion, Sam Eastman, and Dan Mur phy in the 880; Jimmie Ferrie in the mile; Phil Morentin in the two mile; Alden Herbert in the hurdles; Henri Laborde and Nelson Gray in the shot and discus; Bill Miller in: the pole vault; Bob Keeble in the high jump; JSrnie Arbuckle and Dave Brown in the javelin. Jn several events, the Cardinals will have to pin their hopes al most solely on one man, judging from present prospects. For in stance, Carlton Thoms, transfer from Ventura Junior college, ap pears to be the only real sprinter on Templeton’s squad. Monk Mos crip, Johnny Reisner, and Bobby Grayson, dash men on the 1933 freshman team, will probably not be available. Thoms has looked very good in early workouts, hav ing done 9.8 in the 100. Although he has not run a 220 for time, Dink expects Thoma to get down close to 21 seconds. Chuck Nimmo, sensation of the 1933 freshman team, will h$ve to carry most of the load in the mile and half mile. Nimmo gives prom ise of developing into one of the greatest milers in the hiatory of track and field athletes on the Pa cific coast, and also looks like a fine half miler in the making. His best time in the longer race last year was made against the Cali fornia freshmen when he won by about 100 yards and stopped the watches at 4 minutes 23.5 seconds. Although he did-not run the 880 much last season, he bettered two minutes on at least one occasion and Templeton believes that his star sophomore will get down to 1:55 in the two lap event before the season is over. Joe Burris, who did not compete last year, has shown promise and might, accord ing to Templeton, get down around 1:57. A1 Blackman will probably re ceive but little help from his team mates in the quarter mile and may ^tllllllUlillllllll!!llllltl'>lllllllllllllillJ!l!Ulim<llumillllll!Hl.imi!IIIUIltlUI<Ullll!l]IIU|l!|||||IU>UUI,imiilllll!l!lllllliltlllUilUilll<lliUIIIII!lllllillUI!l!IUIIIIIlllllllll!t!!ll1!l!i Let Flowers Be Your Valentine Nothing Else Conveys the Tender Sentiments Direct from our greenhouses in all their pristine beadty. | Last Call for Telegraph Orders.

He has already run better than 50 seconds around two turns this year and should get down close to 48 sec onds or might even beat that mark. He ran considerably better than 49 seconds last year. Bud Deacon should be one of the best pole vaulters in the coun try. He tied with Bill Miller at 13 feet 9 3-4 inches in the Cali fornia-Stanford meet last year and early in the season cleared 14 feet unofficially. The Indians will again be strong in the weight events with John , Lyman, Slinger Dunn and a group of fairly promising sophbmores. Lyman surpassed the recognized world’s record in the shot put with a toss of 52 feet 8 1-2 inches to win this event at the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet. Dunn’s best effort was 51 feet 11 inches. Both were consist ently over 51 feet. The Slinger was fairly consistent at 155 feet or better in the disqus, his best mark being 157 feet 8 3-4 inches, and he should pass 160 feet this season. Lloyd Schween, the young high jumper who was one of the out standing heroes of Stanford’s up set victory over Southern Califor nia in the first dual meet last year, should have a fine season. His great competitive spirit showed up in that meet when he cleared 6 feet 4 3-8 inches to defeat the 1932 Olympic champion and runner-up. Johnny Mpttram has started in the javelin throw where he left off last spring. In an informal prac tice meet last fall, he tossed the spear 207 feet. His best mark in 1933 was 209 feet 3-8 inch and he was consistent at 205 feet. John Beatty and Dud Sales are “expect ed to reach and possibly surpass 190 feet. Beatty did around 185 feet last year and Sales was unable to compete because of an injured arm. Captain Gus Meier, who tied the recognized world's record of 14.2 in winning the 120 yard high hur dles at the N.C.A.A. meet last year, and whose best mark in the low sticks was close to 23 seconds, seems certain to be one of the out standing hurdlers in the country. Meier placed fourth In the low-s at ( the N.C.A.A. and placed second in the highs and third in the lows at the I.C.A.A.A.A. Dave Devlin, Ollie Amdahl, and Art Azevedo will carry the burden in the two mile. Devlin, who was out last year because of illness, has been showing up particularly well in the early workouts and might develop into the best of the three. Amdahl has done 9:43 but was unable to show his best last Frosh Team To Vie With DeNeffe Five Came Last Before Final Rook Series Ducklings Increase Victory String Over Weekend by Taking Astoria Quintet With the scalps of the Astoria preppers hanging at their belts, the frosh hoopers last night opened preparations for this week’s heavy schedule. Tonight the Ducklings entertain the De Neffe's independents at the Igloo, and close the season against the rooks Friday and Saturday nights. The yearlings appear to have recovered their stride. Against the Astorians, recognized as one of the strongest prep quintets in Oregon, the team performed in consistent style, winning the con test, 22-13. Sam Liebowitz and John Lewis tied for scoring hon ors with six points apiece. Roy Williamson, who recovered his shooting eye after a short lapse, scored five points. For the first time since the rook tilts, Shields only used six men, Joe Murray be ing the extra player. Liebowitz Shows Well Sam Liebowitz, guard, is im proving every game. In all of the contests thus far he has succeeded in tricking the opposition out of position. He is also a good de fensive player. He has been pit ted against some of the high scorers of the state prep quintets, and has never allowed his oppo nent to score more than a mini mum of points. Aaron Faust, who started strong, has been falling down on scoring lately. He has been held scoreless a number of times, and may be benched unless he comes out of his slump. DeNeffe’s Strong For the first time this season the Shieldsmen may enter a con test as underdogs, when they take on DeNeffe’s tonight. The Cloth iers have been scrimmaging fre quently with the VVebfoot varsity, and are familiar with the Oregon system of play. They are state amateur champions, and afe strong favorites again this year. Heading the list of luminaries on the DeNeffe lineup is Jean Eberhart, elongated center. He was captain of the Webfoot team in 1930, and now coaches at Uni versity high. Another ex-Webfoot captain is Windy Calkins, who led the team in 1931. These two and Max Rubenstein played together through most of their prep and college career. LaGrande Hough ton, former Duck reserve, and Don Seigmund, who played on the team some while ago, round out the first team. Bill Eberhart, member of the 1931 freshman team, is ready to go into the con test any time. Probable lineups for tonight’s game: FROSH DeNEFFE'S Lewis .F. Rubenstein Williamson .F. Houghton Helmken .C. Eberhart Faust .G. Seigmund Liebowitz .G. Calkins season because of a tendon injury. Azevedo is consistent around 9:55 to 10 minutes and might do some what better. Phil Williams and Paul Zaches, the Indian broad jumpers who raised so much havoc with the Tro jans in that first dual meet in 1933, should take care of their event nicely. This pair placed one, two, against Southern California's highly touted jumpers and contrib uted heavily to the upset perform ances. Williams' best mark is 24 feet 1 5-S inches and Zaches has leaped 23 feet 8 5-8 inches. Three in Infirmary Ellis Short, Morgan Burckard, and Tom McCall were patients at the infirmary yesterday.

His opponent in the final match will be A1 Davis who gained this posi tion with a semi-final victory over Bob Avison last week. Eight Left in Yeoman Pingpong Tournament Eight independent pingpong stars are still in the running as the Yeomen tournament enters its third week. None of the favor ites have had any trouble yet, but this week’^ play will eliminate all but the pick of the field. The tourney will probably be finished by the end of next week. The undefeated men in the up per bracket are Rosenfeld, Neu berger, Newman, Wiscarson, Lees, Elder, Field, and Eva. Seven play ers are still in the consolation play. They are Ohmart, Teltoft, Reeves, Miller, Potter, Crockett, and Bucknum.

Beta Theta Pi Retains Donut Sports Lead Nearest Competitor Is Sigma Phi Epsilon Yeomen, Phi Delts Plan to Gain In Four Events Left To Take Place Beta Theta Pi continues to lead all competition in the race for the all-year donut sports crown de spite gains made during the hand ball and volleyball matches by its nearest competitors, Sigma Phi Epsilon, the Yeomen and Phi Delts. Figures posted Monday on the bulletin board in the men’s gym showed the Betas have gar nered 539 counters to remain safely on top with a 67-point lead over the second place S. P. E.’s. The Yeomen made the biggest jump in the point totals as they shifted from sixth place to third. The Fijis took it on the chin hard to drop to seventh from their for mer position of third. Sigma hall and Theta Chi made considerable progress as they advanced from low standing to climb over the 300 mark and take ninth and tenth places. Only four more events remain on the intramural calendar for the year. Wrestling will be the only one of these completed this term as it takes place next week. Soft ball, golf, and tennis are slated for the spring term competition. The independent men with a large delegation of matmen have hopes of climbing up enough on the Betas this term so that they can upset the league leaders from their lofty perch during the last few weeks of play. Since the first of the year the Beta monopoly of all the titles has been completely broken as the Phi Delts took “A” volleyball and the Yeomen grabbed handball and “B” volleyball. Previous to that the Betas had walked off with the water polo, swimming and both basketball crowns without any in terruption. The total of all teams entered in competition as posted is as fol lows: Beta Theta Pi . 539 Sigma Phi Epsilon . 463 Yeomen . 417 Phi Delta Theta . 406 Kappa Sigma . 367 Alpha Tau Omega . 359 Phi Gamma Delta . 359 Sigma Chi . 316 Theta Chi .,. 306 Sigma hall . 301 Chi Psi . 286 Delta Upsilon . 270 Sigma Alpha Epsilon . 268 Delta Tau Delta . 263 Sigma Alpha Mu . 224 Sherry Ross . 206 Pi Kappa Alpha . 195 Phi Kappa Psi . 195 Omega hall . 158 Phi Sigma Kappa . 138 Zeta hall ...:. 127 Sigma Nu . 112 La Casa Filipina . 50 "Patronize Emerald advertisers.” CRESTED STATIONERY --- Is a distinctive writing paper which only a fra ternity member may use.
