Green Socks Stylish
Again; If Not Tennis
Let"s Have Badminton
By CLAIR JOHNSON
Another ex-Webfoot gridder joined the parade of all-stars who will
exchange bumps with the New York Giants pro eleven February 3 in
Portland to help along this year’s Rose Festival. Roy Gagnon, veteran
Duck guard, is the latest addition and brings the total
of former Oreg'on stars who wil perform to eight.

SOCIETY NOTE: The knee-length green socks
in all their glory will be included in the wardrobe of
the Oregon Varsity hoopmen when they head north
ward Thursday night. The team will wear the leg
gings in games played there too and not appear minus
them as they did the other night at Corvallis.
So if the reason the Ducks lost last Saturday was
because they trifled with Old Lady Superstition by
not wearing them against the Beavers. (George
Cowne, Oregonian, said yesterday that superstitious minded people
might advance that idea as a solution to the thumping Oregon took),
then the Webfoots ought to come home from the trip with Vandal and
Cougar scalps dangling from every knee-pad.
Gene Shields, Duckling basket
ball coach, said yesterday after
noon that he’d even put the socks
on the freshmen if it would help
them beat Irish’s.
The reason for the sudden dis
appearance of the legwear at Cor
vallis last week was because the
small Oregon State gym usually
gets so heated up that the woolen
coverings would have been decided
ly uncomfortable.
Both the Idaho and W.S.C.
courts are plenty roomy and won’t
force any more changing of ap
parel. In fact the O.S.C. floor is
the only small one left in the con
ference now.

A Varsity Player wrote to the
Emerald yesterday in regard to the
proposed idea to have tennis on the
igloo floor between halves of con
ference hoop games. He said the
plan wouldn’t work because it
would take too long to get equip
ment set up, for the players to
warm up and become accustomed
to the floor, and that it would hurt
the players.
We think the equipment could
be set up, and players eould get
warm enough to give us, if not a
scientific, demonstration, at least
some good entertainment.
However, if the play would not
be for the benefit of the men par
ticipating, let’s drop the idea—but

if we do, how about BADMINTON
for a substitute then.
This little known game is a
strong favorite in the east with its
greatest stronghold in Canada.
Compared with tennis it’s played
with a higher net, with longer,
more slender racquets, with a
shuttle (cork with feathers stuck
in it) instead of a ball and slightly
differently marked courts.
The principle is about the same
and it’s quite amusing to watch for
at least a 10 or 15 minute period
and a great deal longer if one
judges by the crowds the matches
draw in the east.

One of the latest books in the

publishers of Caldwell, Idaho, have
recently caused furor in the field of
printing.
The Caxton printers' bid to fame
is the discovery of Vardis Fisher,
recent and much talked of person
age in modern literature, who pub
lishes his books through them and
through Doubleday. An autobio
graphical strain runs through all of
his stories of Idaho and the middle
west. "We Are Betrayed" com
pletes the tetralogy, a group ol

Sigma Nu Wins Contests
After Torrid Battle
Two of the less favored teams
stole the show at yesterday’s vol
leyball tilts when Kappa Sig and
Sigma Nu struggled through three
torrid games before the Kappa
squad nosed ahead by a score of
2-1.
Making up in fire and drive
what they lacked in skill, the two
sextets staged a wild melee in the
first game, with Sigma Nu finally
edging out 15-13. At this point
Ralph Terjeson and Gene Wade en
tered the game for the Kappa Sigs
and from then on the Sigma Nus
never had a chance. With Terjeson
figuring in almost every scoring
point, Kappa Sig sewed up the
match, winning the next two
games by scores of 15-3 and 15-8.
Almost as exciting was the Delta
Tau Delta-Delta Upsilon battle,
won by the D.U.’s in straight
games. Behind the steady playing
of Bob Newlands, the D.U.’s eked
out a 16-14 win in the first game
and came back in the second to
repeat the act 15-8. Dale Lasselle,
rubber-legged Delt, was easily the
outstanding player on the floor.
Sigma Alpha Mu was forced to
come from behind to win their
match from the Phi Sigs. After
dropping the first game 15-10, the
Sammies underwent a complete re
versal of form to win the next two
games by decisive scores of 15-2
and 15-6. The winners were handi
capped by having only five men on
the floor, but despite this fact they
exhibited the smoothest offense of
the afternoon.
The Betas continued their win
ning ways by trouncing the Chi
Psi’s 15-11 and 15-10. Sigma hall
j tok the Abba Dabbas into camp by
a score of 15-5 in both games, and
the Yeomen came through as ex
pected to down Omega hall 15-6
and 15-1, to complete the afternoon
play.
"B" teams will open play today
with six games scheduled. At 4
p. m. Sigma Phi Epsilon will play
Gamma hall, and Sigma Chi will
meet the S.A.E.'s. Another double
header will be played at 4:40 p. m.
featuring Theta Chi vs. the Phi
Psi’s and the Yeomen vs. the Chi
Psi’s. At 5:20 p. m. Delta Tau
Delta meets the Pi Kaps, and Sig
ma Nu tangles with the Fiji's.

Co-Captain of Duck Swim
Squad Goes to Infirmary
Mike Hoyman's swimming team
received a seriouss setback Mon
day when Forrest Kerby, breast
stroker and letterman of last year,
as well as co-captain of this year's
squad, was sent to the infirmary
to be kept under observation for
appendicitis. The extent of his ill
ness will be known in a few days.
Meanwhile Hoyman has been
working the squad every after
non in order to build up a team
that will be of Pacific coast cham
pionship calibre. As yet only
meets with Oregon State, Wash
ington, and the northwest meet in
Seattle have been scheduled by the
Webfoots. Coach Hoyman is still
expecting a reply from the Univer
sity of California as to whether
they plan to invade the northwest
with their swimming team. Ore

Hand Irish Quintet
26 to 25 Trimming
Second Period Stand Gives Yearlings
Success After Weak Beginning;
Silver and Stafford Star
The University of Oregon freshmen hoopsters have finally found
themselves.
After being run into the floor in two consecutive games with the
Irish grocehs, the Ducklings finally found that they really possessed
a good team, and erased their two former setbacks when they came
from behind last night at the igloo and handed the Irish a 26 to 25
trimming.
The Frosh, led by Dave Silver and Jack Stafford, started early
in the second period to rout the independents and finally cinched tha
game in the middle of the third period of play.
Gene Shields started his so called “long” team in last night's game,
and from all appearances, this should be the final answer to several
patient weeks of shifting around. The "long” quintet was composed of
Dale Lasselle and Bob Austin, forwards; Silver, center; Vernon Moore
and Lee Canessa, guards.
Substitutes Used
However, the five that entered
the game in the third quarter
seemed to have a slight advantage
in accuracy in the basktt-making
department of the game. This team
was composed of Stafford and Bill
Dick, forwards; Silver, center; and
Harry Ragsdale and Moore at the
guards.
Shields will use all of these men
in coming games, and by clever
substitution he will have a team
that will he hard to beat.
Starting out as they did in by
gone games, the Irish quickly
jumped into a four point margin by
virtue of long shots by Horner and
Eberhart. Silver then came back
and dropped in one of his favorite
left-handed tosses from out near
the free throw line. Two baskets
and one free throw kept the Frosh
in the game until the appearance
of Stafford.
He sank one, bringing the score
to 10 to 13 in favor of the Irish.
He then swung in a free throw to
contest. John Rogers finally cap
tured the sweaty affair for Theta
Chi, 18-21, 21-16, 21-9. Time-outs
were the order of the day.
Today’s contests will be staged
between Beta Theta Pi and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon at 4 and Pi Kappa
Alpha and Sigma Alpha Mu at 5.
Both matches will send the win
ners into the semi-final round
which gains momentum Thursday.
The Betas will be especially anxi
ous to win and go ahead of the
Yeomen in the all-year race.
bring the half time count up to 11
to 13.
Lead Overcome
Opening the second half of the
game, the Irish walked away from
the Ducklings and before they
could break into the scoring col
umn the Irish had gotten a 6 point
margin.
A free throw by Bill Dick and a
long toss by Stafford brought the
count up to 16 to 19 with the in
dependents still leading.
It was at this point that Silver
entered the game, and found out
that his shots were still working
perfectly.
He tossed in two baskets and
two free throws to put the year
lings way out in front, and from
then on they coasted through the
remainder of the game.
Two last minute baskets by
Eberhart failed to close the gap
and the Frosh had placed them
selves in the winning column f<?r
their second victory of the 1935
campaign.
