The Webfoots, after starting
from scratch this season, wound
up their recent eastern invasion
with a smooth, driving attack
which netted them five wins out
of the last six conference starts.
Reinhart’s combination, clicking
consistently for the first time this

Associated Press Picks Him
Above is Jack “Spook” Robertson, veteran Webfoot flash, who
was placed at a forward berth on the mythical all-northwest quintet
as selected by tSie Associated Press yesterday. Robertson winds up
a brilliant career tonight and Saturday against Oregon State.
straight tussles as the lowly Ducks
floundered at the bottom of the
heap. Reinhart’s cohorts made a
valiant but vain struggle to check
the Beavers’ trek to the division
pennant in the third game, but
the low status of the Webfoot3
made the final series lack lustre.
This year the setup is entirely
changed. The tiffs make an ap
pealing dish for the sporting pub
lic. As garnish to the ever appe
tizing combination of Oregon tan
gling with Oregon State we find:
1. That the Ducks this year are
a coming and enthusiastic ball
club smarting from the memories
of last season and eager to spill
Beaver blood to get an undisputed
second place ranking.
2. That the Beavers, feeling
none too well at losing their coast
title to Washington this year, will
be fired to finish the year just
below the team which beat them
for the honors.
3. That Oregon State, a bit ran
kled because “Spook" Robertson
has been selected on both Hec Ed
(nundson’s all-conference five and
lie mythical all-star outfit chosen
iy the Associated Press, while the
Beavers’ only bid to glory comes j

Three shining Oregon veterans
liny theii last hoop game for the 1
Lemon-Yellow on their home floor
tonight.
Captain Gib Olinger, sensational
floor ace of ihe Duck combination,
ends a great year as the team
leader of an inspired ball club.
At a regular guard position the
defensive ability of the speedy
Olinger as well as his scoring
makes his loss to Oregon after
three years of varsity competition
hard felt.
“Spook” Robertson sings his
swan song at the height of a bril
liant career. Finishing his three
years of varsity play this week
end, the high scoring Webfoot for
ward finds his name on both the
conference all-star selections pub
lished to date because of his all
around excellence in the scoring
department and as a tight defen
sive player.
Although dogged by an injury
jinx which kept him from partici
pating during the first of the sea
son, Jim Watts' high looping shots
put him in first line of reserves
this season. Watts’ shooting tech
nique is the nearest thing in this
conference L. H. Gregory, sporting
editor of the Morning Oregonian,
could call in his ballistic termi
nology a “mortar” shot. It is fit
ting that Watts, already a two
stripe letterman, should end his
hoop play under Oregon colors
with his team near the top of the
heap.

The freshman natators will get
their second taste of competition
this year, meeting the strong Y.
M. C. A. outfit from Salem today
at the men’s pool at 3:45.
Mike Hoyman’s proteges made
a fine showing against the Univer
sity high splashers, although show
ing a weakness in the 400 yard re
lay. The greenlings are strongly
fortified in the breaststroke, where
Chuck Reed holds forth. Reed is
ranked as one of the best in the
northwest, and has negotiated this
event in close to record time.
Leonard Scroggins Is another
young hopeful that is being
picked to go far. He possesses a
great deal of endurance, and
should come off with a major por
tion of honors today. Clay Van
Lydegraf and Vernon Hoffman
should also do well.
A water polo game will follow
the races.
The frosh lineups as announced
by Hoyrrian:
160 yard relay — Hayashi, C.
Reed, J. Rodda, L. Oglesby.
100 yard breaststroke —C. Reed,

C ARXEBA RETAINS TITLE
Before one of the smallest
crowds ever to ^ee a heavy
weight title bout in modern
times, Primo Camera, behe
moth Italian champion, retained
his world’s title as he decisioned
the American challenger, Tom
Loughran, at the end of the
scheduled 15 rounds.
A drizzling rain fell through
out the fight, making the ex
hibition slow and drab. Car
nera took 11 rounds as Lough
ran weakened after a strong
start. There were no knock
downs. The gate totalled but
$55,000.

Weekend Feature
Edniundson's Huskies Go South
For Flayoff With Trojans
Next Weekend
Two basketball “naturals” will
be played tonight and Saturday,
when the two-game final series
between Oregon and Oregon State
will decide which of the two quin
tets is entitled to the second spot
in the northwest standings, and a
similar two-game windup between
Idaho and Washington State will
determine the fourth and cellar
spots in the loop.
At the present time, Oregon and
Oregon State are tied for second
place, with 7 wins and 7 losses
apiece. One team must sweep the
series to alone occupy the deuce
spot. Likewise, the Vandals and
Cougars are now sharing the cel
lar spot with 4 wins and 10 re
versals. A split in their home
and-home series would prove noth
ing.
Up at Seattle, Coach Hec Ed
mundson is driving his boys in
daily workouts. The Huskies will
entrain for Los Angeles early next
week where they meet the Uni
versity of Southern California in
the playoff for the coast confer
ence crown March 9, 10 and 12
if a third game is necessary.
Edmundson has been working
his string of substitutes into com
binations which click the best, fig
uring that plenty of relief men
will be needed in the rough type
of ball played in the California
loop. The bespectacled Washing
ton mentor hasn’t decided on his
traveling squad, which will num
ber about 13 players, and the
string of subs is working hard
for the doubtful berths.

unable to play in either game last
weekend because of a badly
