Duck Tracks Hawaiian Girls Lead Bear Gridmen Astray; Kidder Like Harcombe By CLAIR JOHNSON Oregon’s football team last season established some sort of a record with the announcement yesterday that 25 men were awarded Varsity letters. With a squad averaging about 30 men, never higtrer than 33 and often as low as 28, the Ducks made almost a 100 per cent achievement mark in winning the coveted letters. ***** Lorin Peterson in the U. of W. Daily comments as follows: Three headlines from recent sport pages: December 29. “Honolulu Gridders Beat California 26-13 in Upset.” One week later. “Bears Again Bow to Honolulu 14-0.” Another week passes. “Bear Squad Returns; Blames Defeats on Hawaiian Hospitality.” * * * * This last headline brought in credulous snorts from fans in this country who passed it off as anoth er alibi—original but flimsy. But a letter from a girl acquaintance in the Islands corroborates the Bear footballer’s story. In fact, this girl’s letter reading like a “True Confessions" yarn, admits that she is one of the several broken hearts left behind by the California cava liers. According to her missive, Cali fornia’s boys did most of their training on the dance floor and on moonlit beaches. Gay parties by their genial Hawaiian hosts com posed most of the pre-game grind. Peterson also checks up on Hec Ectmundson, Husky hoop mentor, and finds his annual chewing gum bill is $36.40. * * * Talking about the condition of the California Bears brings to mind the Washington State Cougar hoop teams which every year to be rather ragged along this line! The only member of their aggre gation who really looked .in top shape during the past two years was Ken Wills who was the star of the series last year here in which the Cougars lost the first game 30 to 27 but won the second 38 to 30. '■i' :i- ? Tonight: Picking the Winners Beaver eats Duck. Cougar beats Vandal. Saw Bill Bowerman, former Ore gon grid and track star and now coach at Franklin high in Port land. Hale and hearty, although a bit disappointed in his first sea son with the Quaker gridsters, Bill promised a letter to sports fans here soon. * * * Will Kidder at Oregon State is another sort of Bill Harcombe. Meek and rather bashful but plenty effective on the court. * * * Continuing a past discussion of how coaches’ minds seem to click best when sitting on the bench in which we mentioned Hobby Hob son, Son mentor sits sad-faced like a stone image and Bill Reinhart, just the opposite, is moving around quite a bit and shouting at his players occasionally, we want you to watch Slats Gill tonight if you go to Corvallis. The Beaver head man habitually sits hunched over with his chin in his hand, a scowl on his face, during the entire game. Occasionally he shifts hands but always maintains that hunched over position. What goes on in the minds of these coaches though is really the determining factor in who is go ing to win the game if the scoring is at all close. Harold Klumb, forward and center for the Idaho Vandals is the only lctterman on their squad over 6 feet. He tops the mark by three inches. Bill Reinhart reminded us today that although the Ducks as we have seen them have always been a slow-breaking team that it was here in 1919 that the fast break ing offense really started in these parts. He also said the change this year to the faster system was not only to provide a better game for fans but that because the team really had the speed to enable them to play that sort of game more effectively.

Washington State Hoopster Suffers Bad Leg Injury Steve McNeil in Corvallis Hospital Following Shin Operation CORVALLIS, Jan. 11.—(API — Doubt that Steve McNeil, Wash ington State college guard, will pla yany more basketball this sea son was expressed tonight by Dr. R. L. Bosworth who operated on the Cougar star for leg infection. Dr. Bosworth, Oregon State phy sician, said McNeil was resting comfortably after last night's op eration, but can’t leave the hospi tal for at least a week. McNeil, Washington State’s best “feeder,” suffered a shin bruise last Friday night in the Oregon game. He played the next night, but suddenly began running a tem perature. Monday when his team came here to play Oregon State he went to a hospital where it was found his blood stream was in fected. Duck Quint Rules Slight Favorite In Beaver Town Missionary Mose Lyman Kingpin of O.S.C. Aggregation CORVALLIS, Jan. 11.—(AP) — In a background of traditional ri valry Oregon State college and University of Oregon battle for northern division coast conference basketball leadership here tomor row night. Oregon State, the “dark horse” team, surprised the conference with a pair of victories over Washing ton State. However, University of Oregon showed a flashier offense in dumping the Cougars twice, and ruled a slight favorite here. Coach Bill Reinhart’s starting Oregon five will average six feet two if he starts the combination most successful against Washing ton State. In the group were Lewis and Willie Jones, forwards; Har combe, center, and Budd Jones and Liebowitz, guards. However, he may use Sanford, the Salem, Ore., streak, at forward and Jones at center. Liebowitz and Jones have been the offensive giants for the Webfoots this sea son. With crashing, booming Mose Lyman their kingpin, the Beavers present rather a strange combina tion of players, but an effective one. Lyman returned this season after three years in Germany as a Mormon missionary. He sets the offensive pace and his stellar guarding was not blotched with a single foul in two conference games. The other guard is Bergstrom, reserve from last season. Conkling is a transfer center who is adding all-around play to his jumping ability. Forwards are old reliable George Hibbard, smooth, steady but not flashy, and the eccentric, left-handed, appar ently jointless Wally Palmberg— a freak shot artist. Send the Emerald to your friends.

Scores were: 11-21, 21-16, and 21-6. To break the tie Bob Avison con quered Clayton James, Yeomen second rank player, in a nip-and tuck fracas, 10-21, 21-7, and 22 20. With the A.T.O. victory the Yeo men leadership in the intramural race seemed to fade, for if the Betas are victorious in just their first handball contest, which takes place next Wednesday against the S.A.E.’s, they will top the non fraternity men by at least 10 points. seutert uowns I'arae Despite Bob Seufert’s lop-sided conquest of Don Parke, Phi Psi first rate singles swatter, the Phi Kappa Psis eliminated the Fijis by taking the second rank singles and doubles matches without any great deal of competition.

Library Features Unusual Display A new book display in the main library features works of all kinds with unusual dedications. The showing was arranged by Miss E. Lenore Casford, periodical librar ian. Miss Casford selected authors who gave voice to a wide variety of sentiments in their inscriptory pieces. “The Personae of Ezra Pound'' modestly announces that “This book is for Mary Moore, of Tren ton, if she wants it.” But John Habberton is more inclusive in his inscription of “Helen's Babies,” dedicating it to the "Parents of the Best Children in the World," with a recognition of the fact that every parent thinks his child the best in the world. Carl Sandburg inscribes his “Smoke and Steel'' to one Col. Ed ward Steichen, who, in addition to being a military man, was a "Painter of Nocturnes and Faces, Camera Engraver of Glints and Moments, Listener to Blue Evening Winds and New Yellow Roses, Dreamer and Finder, Rider of Great Mornings in Gardens, Val leys, Battles.” Other works include “The Book of Football” by Walter Camp, who thinks “backs who have bucked the line" worthy of his work; ‘ Life in College” by Christian Gauss, his dedication being a sort of apology for being a professor; Willa Gath er s “April Twilights”; and “Laughing Boy” by Oliver La Farge. The cases in which these works are arranged are located on the main and second floors of the li brary. Send the Emerald to your friends, Subscription rates $2.50 a jear.

The chief rule of eligibility is that no player who has seen action in an "A” game, will be allowed to trans fer to a “B” division tilt. With all eyes glued upon the Yeomen, the Betas, the S.P.E.'s, and the Phi Delta, the first four or ganizations in the donut race, the volleyball tournaments will prove of unestimatable weight in deter mining the all-year champions. All-Year Race Close Upon a basis of last year’s vol leyball results the games this year should tend to even up the stand ings of the four highest clubs. The Phi Delts in fourth place, just 64 points below the first-place Yeo men, clinched the 100 title points last year. The S.P.E.’s in third place were second in the race last year with 88 marks, while the Be tas and the Yeomen, separated by one point for the present leader ship, tied for third spot with 76 digits each.- , In the "B” drive of 1933-34 the S.P.E.'s took first place honors, followed closely by the Yeomen, the Phi Delts, and the A.T.O.’s. A duplication of results would place the fourth team only 48 marks be hind the first place in the all-year race, besides lowering the Betas to third position under the S.P.E.’s.
