CLAIR JOHNSON, Editor GORDON CONNELLY, Night Editor This Issue UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1935 Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Beavers Are Good Bill Says; Fans Like New Slam-Bang Play Exchanged condolances with Bill Reinhart last night about the trouncing the Ducks took at Cor Slats Gill night. “Oregon State is the team tc beat this year,’ Bill says. “You’ve sure got to hand it to them.” Nevertheless Bill beiilves Ore gon will give the Beavers plenty of opposition in the return games — the first one here February 2. In Saturday’s contest they were decidedly on and the Ducks just the opposite, Bill says, and also right at this time they are a lot farther along than our boys. By the time of the next game he says the Webfoots will be all set to even up the beating. * * * Although he hasn't seen Wash ington in action, Bill thinks the Beavers ought to be top-dog at Seattle this week when they meet the Husky five. A partial explanation for the high score the Gillmen ran up last Saturday was, of course, the fact that once the game was lost Rein hart did plenty of experimenting and shifting around with his men. So although the winners did look very good, we’re not jumping on the “O.S.C. for conference champs” band wagon yet. If they can keep up the pace they set Saturday they will certainly do it —but can they? After the drubbing his men gave the Ducks it certainly looks like Slats Gill made a wise move when he tossed his pet zone defense type of play out and started in with this new driving offensive play. Gill’s present system is just made for the men who are now his shining lights. Both Palmberg and Bergstrom, the former Astoria stars, are the type of players who thrive on speed and more of it. Mose Lyman is the best example of the change, though. Back in the days before he started his wander ings the Baron was only a bench warmer on the Beaver team be cause he couldn’t fit into the zone defense system which clicked so well with Ed Lewis as its leader. Now he comes back and fits in as ace high on the New Deal five. One thing about this new slam- j bang type of driving basketball—I the crowds sure eat it up. Even i loyal Oregon fans would almost rather watch the Ducks take a beating in a fast exciting contest than win one of the old type, low scoring, ring - a - round - the-rosy games. Except for relief work, we have a hunch that most of the action Bill Harcombe wil see the rest of this season will be against the Cougars next week. Idaho's center is Klumb—6 feet 3 and a strong offensive man, Washington has Wagner, and Oregon State’s Conk ling the other night was too much for the tall boy so it looks like Jones wil hlave to stay in there at the pivot post although he clicks much better at forward. A1 Eagle, Oregon’s battling tackle of last fall, is having his fling at Hawaiian scenery this week. The big linemean is with a team of all-stars who are invading the islands to play the Cniversity of Hawaii team Sunday, January 'JO. The eleven left California last Tuesday.

The contest will fol low a game between Coach Jean Eberhart's University high five and St. Mary’s, which starts at 7:30. Student body cards will admit students free to both games while admission will be charged for the initial contest. Fans going to the 1 latter game will be admitted free. The freshmen, under the direc tion of Gene Shields have taken two beatings from the downtown team the first by a 40 to 27 score and the last to the tune of 40 to 28. In the first contest Eberhart was the Ducklings’ nemesis as he rolled in 16 counters while in the second game Watts counted 11, Condon 10, and Rubenstein 8. For the first-year men Jack Stafford has a total of 13 points in both games and Dave Silver 12 to lead the pack. As in both previous games Coach Shields again intends to shift his lineup around to find the best clicking combination for games to follow later and will not put too much emphasis on beating the mer chantmen. The Duckling starting lineup will probably be chosen from Stafford, Silver, Ford, Danner, Jack Craw ford, Bob Austin, Bar Purcell, Dale Lasselle, Lee Canessa, Bob Beard, and Harry Ragsdale. Following tonight’s game Shields plans to cut the squad somewhat from the 50 or more candidates, who have been turning out daily since the start of practice. The game will also give the Duckling mentor a line on what combination he wants to work against the Medford and Ashland high school fives when the teams meet Friday and Saturday nights there. a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Colonel plans to have an al-campus relay meet sometime later in the term if possible. Somebody wanted to know what took the slickness off the Igloo floor after dances. It’s hot water, mixed with a good mop and plenty of mopping and nothing more. The material used on the floor before the dance is of a soapy nature and is just mopped up with the water. Swill Co.

Broadw ay SPE Handballers Defeat Alpha Hall In Close Struggle Phi Delts Sweep Matches With Omega Team For Victory Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Phi Epsilon advanced into the third round of the intramural handball tournament yesterday as the result of victories over Omega and Alpha halls respectively. In the opening match the S.P.E.’s nosed out a 2-1 win over the Alpha hall team due mainly to the ef forts of their two singles men, Les Hollenbeck and Ed Schlesser. Hol lenbeeck defeated Cliff Bullock, 21-1; 21-7, while Schlesser downed Close 19-21, 22-20, 21-18. The hallmen scored their lone victory when Antone Yturri and Sheldon Parks, after dropping the first game, came from behind in the deciding tilt to win 10-21, 21-6, 21-13. Phi Delta Theta experienced lit tle difficulty in beating Omega hall, sweeping all three matches without the loss of a game. Ver non Sprague defeated Giles 21-5, 21-3; Jack Mulder whitewashed Kermit Erwin 21-0, 21-3, and the doubles combination of Robert Van Nice and Bob Hunter over came Hill and Hubbard 21-10, 21-14. Two more matches will be played today with Sigma Chi meeting Sigma hall at 4 p. m. and Phi Sig ma Kappa battling Theta Chi at 5 p. m. Beavers Change To Zone Defense For Washington CORVALLIS, Jan. 14— (AP) — The league leading Oregon State college basketball team may change from a man to man to a zone defense in its games at Seat tle Friday and Saturday against the University of Washington. The Beavers have employed a man to man defense masterfully in winnig their first three northern division coast conference games. However, in the past their zone defense has been particularly ef fective against the Huskies. In today’s practice Coach Slats Gill stressed zone defense, which has been given some attention from the start of the season. Dark horses at the start of the season, the Beavers have improved constantly, climaxing their rapid rise with a smashing 47 to 18 win over the University of Oregon Sat urday night. Folen, substitute cen ter, was the only State player in jured in the game. It was expected his injured knee would mend by Friday. Neuberger Urges Portland Branch| Of University Free tuition for needy students and the establishment of a branch of the University and College at Portland for the sons and daugh ters of financially distressed fam ilies were proposals advanced by Richard L. Neuberger, former Em erald editor, in a radio address de livered in Portland last week. Neu berger spoke under the auspices of the central council of the Oregon State Federation of Labor. Neuberger demanded that ath letic and social events be reduced to subordinate positions in campus life, and advocated the elimination of outside corporations and super vision of these activities by the faculty. He also urged voluntary, instead of compulsory military drill. Other points in the speech in cluded the elimination of overpaid administrative officials, academic freedom and liberty of expression, and an insistence that the students I realize the problems of the unfor tunate and distressed in the pres I ent day society.

ROBERTS, President Five Pennant Hopes Appear In Volleyball Defending Phi Dell Six Shines in Opener; Others Flashy Uneven Scores Spoil Donut Clashes The 1935 v o 11 e y b a 11 season opened yesterday afternoon with five lopsided victories and one for feited contest, in which the de fending titlists, the rangy Phi Delts, Sigma Chi, S.P.E., Phi Gam ma Delta, and Phi Kappa Psi burst into the notice of railbirds. Most brilliant of all was the Sweetheart triumph over the Pi Kaps in two unbalanced encoun ters, 15-2 and 15-0. The height of the Thirteenth street sextet in the elongated persons of Bill Palmer, Ed Wheelock, Frank Michele, and Clay Sherman was too much for the Pi Kaps who extended to the proportions of ordinary people. Wheelock Attack Star In the role of spiker Ed Wheel ock took the set-ups of his team mates for a nice total of decisive shorts, which won most of the points of the fray. Another "A" tilt developing a serious pennant-chaser was the Phi Delt-Gamma hall trampling in favor of the defending champs, 15-6, 15-1. The Phi Delt combination which boasts three senior men from the 1934 winning order took their time ir. developing genuine set-ups and attacks. Stan Riordan, Male Bauer, and Bob Hunter accounted for the majority of marks against Ray Lopez, Johnny Reischman, and Les Lewis, outstanding haliers. Maguire, Seufert Spark Dave Maguire and Bob Seufert were sparks in the Fijis’ win over the Theta Chi hill dwellers, 15-4, 15-3. Phi Gamma Delta had little trouble in the first set-to, but ex tended to the limit in batting the kr _, Ducks Whet Tools For Spudmen Go Scrimmage Sessions Shake Headache Inflicted at Corvallis Saturday; Berg, Miller in Uniform By BILL, McINTURFF Gloom as omnipotent as the dark ages settled on the Oregon bas ketball camp today as the fallen hoopsters of Saturday’s unfortunate affair at Oregon State returned to their practice drills. Coach Reinhart was plainly disappointed with the* showing of the Webfoots and was at as much loss to explain Oregon's “ultra-off” night as any one of the numerous sports writers who hazarded a guess. How ever, an a bromo-seltzer practice session the squad attempted to for get its 48-17 headache resulting from the onslaught of the Orange “wonder team,” and turn its attention toward the pending invasion into the Inland Empire. One bright spot in the Oregon picture was the permanent return of Captain Bill Berg to the first squad after a week’s retirement to the bench. Apparently none the worse from taking part in the game at Corvallis, the stocky, sun-tanned Englishman livened the morale ot the Duck basket eers and showed all his old pre-season drive.

With Bobbie Anderson chest passing set-ups and Arne Lindgren killing the shorts, the S.P.E.’s un corked a steady barrage over the hemp that batted Alpha hall into a 15-0, 15-1 submission. Ed McClaughry also came through with some nice medium blows for the winners. Handicapped by the absence of veteran (..'enter Returns Another returning prodigal Was Bob Miller, veteran center, who was forced to quit the squad tem porarily due to a broken hand.

Twice already this season the University of Idaho five has spilled conference teams considered its superior. Washington, North west conference title defender, was the first to fall. Last Saturday the Spudmen added another victory to their string by downing the ill fated W.S.C. invaders, 38, to 27. Fracas Set for Friday The battle between Oregon and Idaho Friday night will be a scramble to see who will maintain the second best place in conference ratings.
