Potent Lemon-Yellow Hoop Medicine Webfoot Supporters Back Champions During Past Season Oregon State Five Is Team to Beat Say Other Coaches * The keenest northern division conference basketball race in years, with Oregon State college’s defending champions the team to beat! That’s the concensus of opinion of five northern division coaches, who are now putting final touches on their 1936 creations before w'inding up heavy pre-season schedules. The mentors are Slats Gill, Oregon State; Rich Fox, Idaho; Jack Friel, Washington State; Hec Edmundson, Washington; and Howard Hobson, Oregon’s new head man. Abundant holdover material, pius an unusually promising influx of sophomore and transfer material, makes this coming season’s battle for the crown now held by Oregon State, looms as the most heetii in years, the mentors claim. Slats Gill, Oregon State coach, was the only mentor who did not pick his team to repeat, but he was outvoted, four to one, by the others. All of the coaches agreed, however, that there should be a general improvement over last year with every team boasting strong material. Washington’s Huskies, who ended in second place last year, are regarded as Oregon State’s chief threat, with Idaho, Washington State and Oregon due to spring plenty of upsets. Brief summaries of each team’s prospects, gathered by the ASUO News Bureau, are as follows: Oregon State (Slats Gill)—Ore gon State will not be as strong as last year due to the loss of George Hibbard, all-coast forward, and Mosc Lyman, guard. I look for Washington and Oregon to be the top-notchers this year. To offset the loss of Hibbard, Ly man, Fred Hill and Merle Taylor, we have seven returning lettermen - - Wally Palmberg, Hub Tuttle, Art Merryman, all forwards; Earl Con kling, Cliff Folen, Wilbur Kidder, centers, and Bob Bergstrom, guard. Best freshman prospects are Ike Wintermute and Howard Lyman. University of Washington (Hoc Fjtlmundson)— As far as I’m con cerned, it’s all Oregon State this year. They lose only Hibbard and Lyman and anybody will have a tough time beating them. Oregon had a lot of youngsters and they will be hot this season. It looks like a tough year to get to the top. Only two men are miss ing from the Washington squad this year but they are enough Bobby Galer, all-conference for ward, and Clyde Wagner, veteran center. Our chief difficulty will be replacing Wagner at center. Washington State (Jack Uriel) — Things are really looking on the up-grade this year, after several mediocre seasons. Last year’s freshman team was a good one and there are several sophomores capa ble of stepping into a varsity job. I believe my own team will show some improvement, but that too much depends upon new men to class the Cougars as a strong con tender. Washington will be good with their strong junior squad and Idaho will be improved. It looks like a hot race. University of Idaho (Rich Fox) — Idaho’s basketball team will not average six feet in height this year, but five speedy lettermen will be back on the job. They are Wally Geraghty, all-conference in 1935, and Merle Fisher, guards; Bert Larson, Bill Katsilometes and Norm Iverson, forwards. At present Ore gon appears, on paper at least, to be the strongest bidder for confer ence honors. Coach Hobson’s opinion is in an other article on this page.

The sponsoring group is made up of rep resentatives of Oregon Dads and Mothers clubs, alumni and other or ganizations. The pamphlet gives a complete history of the student fee question and the legislation concerning it. It points out that the measure, passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, and subse quently referred to the people through the referendum, is an en abling act that simply gives the state board of higher education ihe power to levy the fee, in an amount not to exceed $5 per term. The bill, the bulletin points out, in no way makes the fee itself compul sory, nor sets the amount to be^ charged if the board wishes to put it below $5. February 14—Medford at Med ford.

As a matter of fact, football, the one sport that makes money, can continue regardless of the collection of uniform fees. It is the many other activities that suffer under the voluntary plan.” The pamphlet declared that a ma jority of students in Oregon insti tutions want the fee to be uniform and compulsory. “Students are con i'Please turn to page Jour) Chuck Patterson, Gusky iioopslei transfer from SON, who is another big push in this year’s new crop of varsity inen.

From Hobson's great Southern Oregon Normal team of last year come Charles Patterson, Bill Courtney, Ward Howell, Cliff McLean, Bob Braddock, Hay Jewell, Wayne Scott and Oliver Hughes. Outstanding prospects from freshman ranks are Dave Silver, tall southpaw center; Jack Staf ford, forward, and Bill Dick, guard. Kenneth Purdy, ball-hawking trans fer from Long Beach junior college, is another promising candidate. Scramble for Posts As the players scramble for oo sitions the leading forwards are Willard Jones and Dave Silver, con verted centers, and Ken Purdy, Cliff McLean and Roland Rourke. Centers are Ward Howell, Chuck Patterson, Bill Harcombe, and Ray Jewell, while guards are Sam Lie bov/itz, John Lewis, Wayne Scott, Bill Courtney and Budd Jones. Hobson is a strong advocate of the fast break style of play and this season will see the Webfoots play ing a wide open game. "Hie main-to man defense used for the past sev eral years will be retained, but the old set play formations will be abandoned. Oregon’s chances of ranking high in the title chase de pend almost entirely upon the play ers’ ability in mastering the new fast break.

Here was a team that was to basketball as Gertrude Stein to poetry, as Huey Long to politics, as Bobby Jones to golf. In short it had color, it had fight, it had power. The players were long, broad, fast and wicked. A seasoned observer was heard to say upon leaving—“Maybe not right now, but later—oh my G—!” Now it is “later.” Now it is time. Goody!
