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.
Scores and times:
400-yard relay—Won by Oregon

week for the first time this term.
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.

‘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.

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

not need much if he continues to
develop at his present rate. 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.

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.
