Lester Prophet Comes
To Eugene to Foretell
Duck’s Future Playing
—■ By Ned Simpson
Hiding under the desk yester
day afternoon was a funny looking
gent who might have been a cross
between the long lost Crystal Ball
and Iguesso Rong. In an uncer
tain voice he piped that he had
ideas about who was going to win
tlie northwest conference hoop ti
tle, who was going to win the next
game between Oregon and Oregon
State, and what could be done to
remove the jinx that seems to be
stuck so firmly on the Webfoot
victory hopes.
Investigation revealed tiiat he
had been run cut of Corvaliis,
Seattle, Pullman, and Moscow,
and that the only place left to
come had been Eugene. Ilis
name? Lester Prophet, the Sa
lem Seer!
In answer to his own ideas men
tioned above Lester says that he
is of the conviction that Washing

this week.
j ton will win the conference cham
pionship again this year, but will
lose to the southern representative
in the coast play-off. It seems that
although Washington still has four
games to play against Washington
State, an undertaking that rivals
our own attempts to subdue the
Beaver from the Corvallis hills,
and his two more games with both
Oregon and Idaho, the Huskies will
nevertheless cop the title. The rub,
says Lester, is between O.S.C. and
the Huskies, but the Beavers will
wear out soonest. Reasons: Oregon
is a tougher team than O.S.C.—
the 49 to ... score to the contrary
—and the Staters will meet with
at least one or two defeats at the
hands of the Webfeet, and proba
bly a couple more in the northern
reaches of the conference. Who
says that Oregon is tougher than
O.S.C. ? No one else than the
Washington Huskies, who let the
Ducks down with such a bump
Monday and Tuesday nights. The
little hatbox floor at the northern
branch, with its funny lighting
effects, turned the trick on the
panting purple and Gold tornado—
just as it meant about 10 points
to the Ducks over there two weeks
ago.
Oregon will likely take the
Orangemen here Saturday night,
too. If the Webfeet play any
thing like they did against the
Huskies Tuesday night they cer
tainly will—and after the oft
mentioned fiasco earlier in the
season — it’s certain that they
will be somewhat fired up for
the occasion. (Les turned a lit
tle pale as he whispered this
last one, as if he knew what hap
pened to prognosticators of Bea
ver-Webfoot contests.)
On how to lift the huge jinx'
that is dogging the team's every
step, the Salem Seer didn't have
much to say that hadn’t already
been said by Mr. Gregory, the Ore
gonian sporting editor, whose es
say on the subject very thoroughly
covered every angle of the phe
nomenon which seems to follow
all losing teams. He recommended,
following some thought and refer
ence to Mr. Gregory's article, wear
ing of the snappy green sox, a little
shoe polish on the natty knee
guards, and one brand of chewing
gum for the whole outfit. The last
two suggestions are original with
Prophet.
W ith the mention of Mr. Greg
cry’s name, memories of the I
Louisiana football trip—yes,
again!—flood back to mind. In
particular, the way in which he
— Gregory — acquired a nick
name stands out from all the
other incidents. Every night the
Oregonian’s sports authority
would leap off at each stop,
rash to the nearest restaurant,
and then run back to the train
clutching a paper sack. The
first couple of nights nobody
ever saw what it was he had i
bought himself to eat, but one
evening he finally wandered into
the club car clutching a nice,
juicy hamburger. Immerdiatoh
the secret of his restaurant rac
es became clear—and with a roar
he was nicknamed “Wimpy.”

This evening's encounter will be
the first contest in almost a week
for the Yearlings who returned
home last Sunday after a success
ful invasion of the north, where
they won from the Lower Columbia
Junior college and Astoria high
school quintets.
Stage Brisk Workouts
While rolling in the glories of
last weekend's victories, the Baby
Ducks have been driven hard by
Shields as the Golden Tide hoop
men form a strong combination
boasting wins in the majority of
games played this season.
Yesterday afternoon, the Frosh
held a brisk workout that called
for hard scrimmage against the
varsity and inter-squad practice
lilts. A combination composed of
forwards Ja(5k Stafford and Bob
Austin; Dave Silver, center; and
Vernon Moore and Bill Dick, guards
was the best team used.
Have Height Advantage
These five men command an av
eiage height of over six feet, which
gives them a considerable playing
advantage. Sweeping down the
floor with a good passing attack,
paced by Silver and Dick in point
getting, the freshmen displayed
unusual power in today's tussle.
Tomorrow night at the Igloo,
the Frosh will engage the Long
view high school five, a powerful
aggregation which has been enjoy
ing one of its best years in the
hoop sport.

Continue Unbeaten
Beta Theta Pi and the Yeomen
continued their undefeated pace in
the donut volleyball tourney by
counting wins yesterday to remain
on the top of their leagues.
The Yeomen, in the opening
game of the afternoon, took Delta
Tau Delta into camp by the de
cisive scores of 15-6, 15-5. With
Ingram Kjosness playing a prom
inent part in all the offensive man
euvers, tlie independents grabbed
early leads in both tilts, then went
on to win in fairly easy style. Rick,
Hillis and Jay Scruggs were out
standing for the losers.
Betas Trim Phi Sigs
The Betas won their match at
the expense of Phi Sigma Kappa
who seemed unable to cope with
the steady play of their taller op
ponents. Behind the superior play
ing Norm Hamilton and Hugh Me
Credie, the Millracers easily ran
up 15-1, 15-5 scores for victories.
Delta Upsilon was forced to
come from behind to win its
match from the strong Omega hall
sextet. The hallmen took the first
game 15-6, but from that point on
the struggle was all D.U., and
with Bob Newlands figuring in
practically every scoring play, the
fraternity men went on to sew up
the match by winning the next two
games 15-10, 15-6.
Chi Psi, SAM Play Three Tilts
In a long drawn out marathon,
the Chi Psis took the measure of
Sigma Alpha Mu 15-13, 1-15, 16-11.
Clyde Keller turned in a good
game for the Chi Psis, while Louis
Rotenberg was outstanding for
the Sammies.
In the remaining games Alpha
hall defeated Pi Kappa Alpha 15-7,
15-11 and the SPE's kept their
slate clear of defeat by trouncing
Sigma Chi 15-4, 15-5.

Are Busts A.s Mechanics
By Lelioy Mattingly
Con Fury and Andy Hurney may
be eminent gridiron strategians,
but according to current campus
reports which Andy, while modest
ly omitting his own part in the
evening’s proceedings, is circulat
ing about Con, they are only a
couple of fumbles as far as an
automobile ignition system is con
cerned.
It all began when the two foot
ball romanticists started to keep
a date with a pair of young ladies,
by the way of the very popular
“you - bring - your - brother’s-car”
route. Almost at once they en
countered difficulties, not witli the
girls but with the car, when Con
could induce only the tail light to
respond to the light switch. After
a. somewhat lengthy session which
Andy spent in the comfort of the
back scat, while Con gained noth
ing but a very dirty shirt, they
gave up and started 1o make the
rounds of local garages.
In their wanderings, the ruffled
dignity of Fury, the erstwhile
mechanic, was somewhat smoothed,
as mechanics at three different
garages could accomplish no more
than he with the balky lighting
system. Meanwhile Hurney con
tinued to find the company of the
young lady in the back seat much
more intriguing than the thought
of fumbling in the dark around the
dash board and battery.
However, like all good stories
about Oregon football players, the
happy conclu ion was attained
when Con decided to call on the
owner of the car for an explana
tion of its eccentricities. After i
careful glance at the dash board,
the owner reached in and turned
