CLAIR JOHNSON, Editor UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1935 Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Eberhart Ought to Be Proud; No Umpires Note— IPs Mr. Referee Coach Jean Eberhart over at University high ought to be feel ing very proud right at the moment with two of his former proteges occupying the hoop limelight on the campus. Bill Harcombe, new Varsity shining light, is one of the lads and Jack Stafford, high point man and star for the Ducklin hoopers in their opening games, is the other. Conference hoop officials are no longer referees and umpires says Thil Brandt, Barometer sports ed itor. Correct etiquette now desig nates the men as Mr. Referee this year—both of them. There is no longer any differentiation between umpire and refree. Officials decide before a series who is to be in charge of the first game and then switch honors the second night. This, however, holds true only with the more experi enced officials. When the newer referees—Harry Deeding of Port land, or J. Buckley of Spokane— are working the games the older men continue to handle the more umpire and referee. Jimmy Mitchell, Seattle, Emil Piluso, Portland, and Ralph Cole man, Oregon State, are the three oldest officials in experience in the northern division. The announcement that Bill Berg will be on the bench for the O.S.C. clash is somewhat of a blow to the Webfoots’ chances. Given any time on his shot Berg is about the best dead-eye on the squad, although contrary to last year’s steady play he has been turning in rather hit and miss offerings in this season’s tilts. Shooting like an eastern pro, Rodgers, Cougar forward, was the dead-eye of their squad in the se ries here. His shots were the deep underhanded sort of flip starting as low as the knee. The shot is an easy one to stop if the checker is close enough to put up his hand but the shooter is usually so deep he has the guard believing he won’t attempt a shot. * * * The notable deficiency of the Oregon team in games so far this season is their inability to grab the ball after any tipoff play, jump ball, or off the backboard. Johnson seemed to be their biggest trouble in the Cougar games. He got away with over half of the center jump balls and figured in almost every other play. Six-footers will be the order of the day when the Webfoots take the floor against the Beavers to morrow at Corvallis. With Bill Harcombe and Willie Jones both hovering above the 6 foot 4 mark, Budd Jo*es at 6 foot 2, and John Lewis and Ron Gemmell both about one inch lower followed by Sam Liebowitz and Glen Sanford at an even 6 foot (from whom the starting lineup will most likely be chosen) the Ducks boast the rang iest five they have had for some time. When Bob Miller’s broken hand gets in shape so he can play there will be another 6 foot 3 of mate ria! added to the squad, while Cap tain Bill Berg, now out with a foot infection, is another even 6 footer. Along with all his good playing the other night against the Cou gars Liebowitz also turned in some rather hum pass-tossing. In the first haif of the Monday night game he had nine wild tosses that ended up in Washington State men’s arms. Of course it might be argued that his teammates weren’t alert enough to get them but nev ertheless to be of greatest value to his team Liebowitz will have to make his passes so they go to his own players. Ned Simpson, Oregon Varsity football end, has another year of play left with the Ducks instead of this being his final year as yes terday's Emerald stated. Also this is Simpson's first letter award.

Duckling Five Loses Second Game to Irish J. Walts Leads Winners In 40-28 Victory; Stafford Hot Frosli Look Better Than in First Clash The University of Oregon fresh man basketball team dropped the second of a two game series with the Eugene Irish Cash Store five here last night at McArthur court by a 40 to 28 score. The Irish led by Jim Watts and Maxie Rubenstein, ex-Webfoot ma ple cavorters led from the outset. The half time score was 21 to 14 in favor of the independents. The Ducklings looked better than in the Wednesday evening fracas, making setups count, when they didn’t the previous evening. However, they did miss many long shots by an eyelash, and conse quently pulled their score down. Stafford Stars Stafford played his usual brand of good ball for the Frosh, captur ing high point honors for his team with a total of seven points. Watts stole the show last night ringing up a total of 11 markers to run off with high point honors of the game. He was closely followed by Condon, who amassed 10 digits. Lee Canessa and Stafford sparked the Frosh onward with a good offensive and defensive game. Canessa still showed some football in his basketball playing, but with a few more weeks’ practice, will probably iron this out. As in the Wednesday go, the Frosh jumped to an early lead with a. fast passing attack that enabled Danner, lanky center to move out in front of the basket and drop a pretty setup in. Rubenstein Scores Rubenstein then „came back and clumped in a long shot that tied the score at two-all and from then on the Irish led throughout the re mainder of the contest, finally walking away in the final half. It wasn’t until late in the third quarter that the game was put on ice, when Rubenstein again called on his pet play of getting the ball in front of the basket, to pivot and back hand the ball in. He did this twice in a row, and then swinging to the left to escape the defense, he shot. The ball was deflected from a Duckling’s hand and neat ly swished through the hoop to make the score 35 to 26.
