Ducks to Polish up For Encounter With Idaho Next Monday Portland Team, Twice Defeated, May Place Slides Under Collegiates The University of Oregon’s towering basketball team, victor ious in 10 consecutive pre-season games, will tangle with the sharp shooters of Union Oil at McAr thur court tonight. Opening tip off is set for 8 o’clock. Tonight’s tussle is Oregon’s final practice tuneup before the north ern division championship race gets under way. The Webfoots will face the University of Idaho here Monday and Tuesday nights in opening conference tilts. Oiler Crew Strong Spectators who witness this evening’s contest will see the third meeting of the year between How ard Hobson’s crew of huskies and the all-mighty Oilers, who boast an aggregation of ex-college lum inaries second to none in the Northwest. The Ducks came from behind to edge out narrow tri umphs in two earlier engagements, 35 to 31 and 33 to 32. This time Verne Harrington, Oiler coach, is planning to spill the Webfoots and anything may happen. The Portland outfit boasts the cream of the crop of Northern Division ex-greats. Robertson to Return Included in the Union Oil lineup will be three of the greatest stars in Pacific Coast conference his tory Spook Robertson, Ralph Cairney, and George Hibbard. Robertson, a Webfoot regular for three years prior to last sea son, is generally recognized as the number one long shot artist in the Northwest. Cairney, who cap tained the championship Washing ton Huskies of two seasons ago, is ranked with the leading stars of the nation. Unquestionably he is the best all-around guard in re cent northern division annals. Hibbard captained Oregon State’s champions last winter and in 1933 was a leading light on the Beaver Quintet which defeated Southern California in the inter division playoff and captured the coast title. Wagner, Inman to Play Teamed with the incomparable Cairney at guard for the Oilers will be Harold Inman, former Washington high star and now one of independent basketball’s best back court players. At cen ter will be Chuck Wagner, ex-Uni versity of Washington pivot man, Oregon l.iiiciip Uncertain Howard Hobson has not yet def initely determined on his starting Webfoot lineup. Chuck Patterson at forward, Ward Howell at cen ter, and Sammy Liebowitz at guard are certain to be in there for the whistle's opening blast, but about the remaining two positions “Hobbie” isn’t quite sure. Rollie Rourke, whose play in re cent games has been spectacular, or Chief McLean, who has been bothered by a bad knee, will open at guard with Liebowitz. Either Willard Jones or Budd Jones will be at the other forward post.

Kenneth Clair Plays at Lecture The Eugene Adult Music Edu cation Series, held in the school of music auditorium yesterday af ternoon at 2 was well attended. Dr. John Landsbury, dean of the school of music, presented the first of two illustrated lectures on the fugue. Kenneth Clair, pipe- or ganist and student of music at the University, played Fugue in G Minor, Bach, as an example of the fugue at its best. Next month, Dr. Landsbury will present another and final talk on the fugue. Anyone interested in attending these programs is wel come. Date of the next lecture will be announced later. Ted Shawn Hits (Continued from Page One) Shawn stated that for many centuries after the dance began, which was early in the history of the world, that nine-tenths of the dancing was done by men. In gen eral, where the dance has degener ated into cheap entertainment or tawdry amusement, it is because women have taken it over. There are notable exceptions to this, he emphasized. But wherever the na tional dance exists, wherever it has been of vital importance in the customs and mores of a country, the men have conducted it, he said. Of course, women have, at various times taken over all the legitimate styles of dancing, as wel as most of the illegitimate, he smiled. History Traced Mr. Shawn traced the history of dancing through five major devel opments. 1. The primitive dances. These were magic dances, prayer dances, medicine dances. He said some of the primitive rhythms up on which these dances were built were more complicated than many heard today. In many cases they were far beyond our present com prehension. Rhythm, said the dancer, is not the only basis for the dance and music, it is the basis for life, itself. 2. Religious dances, which grew out of the magic dances. 3. Labor motif in the dance. 4. Play. Ath letic and folk dancing are included here. Ballroom dancing is a de scendant of this form of dancing, and a black sheep at that, he hinted. 5. Dance as a pure art form, the latest development just as the symphony is the latest de velopment of real music. Trip to Correct 'I'llinking Mr. Shawn said that his life work was to try to beat down all the “insane and crazy prejudices against the dance” which have grown out of twisted thinking, by showing people forms of the dance which are suitable and fitting and right. He stated that he felt that most people, even though they came to his company’s perform ances with their minds prejudiced, went away feeling the dance,, if done properly, is a noble art. He explained that the dancers have the first claim on the word “orchestra" as the original mean ing of the word was “dancing place.” Mr. Shawn has been giving public performances continuously since Ihll with the exception of two years when he served as a lieutenant in the infantry during the war. The company left Thurs day morning for Klamath Falls They will go on south to Los Angeles, giving performances on the way, and then go back East on tour.

TAYLOR’S BRIDGE TOURNAMENT Football Over But Duck Stars Still Shine On Riordan, Carter Still In Togs; Kicker Goes Pro After Close of College Grid Career Football togs are packed away among the mothballs and Hayward field’s historic sod lies under a lake of January rain, but the Uni versity of Oregon’s greatest grid iron pair, Ros Carter and Stan Riordan, are keeping America’s autumn sport alive for Webfoot followers. Carter, who received frequent mention as an all-coast guard, fur ther distinguished himself in the annual East-West all-star game at Kezar stadium in San Francisco on New Year’s day. The veteran from Lakeview started in the West's lineup, played almost the entire game, and was hailed by Cal ifornia critics as one of the out standing linemen in the game. Carter Recovers Fumble Carter, who captained the Web foots in four contests last fall, was a tower of strength in the Western forward wall on both offense and defense. He recovered a fumble deep in Eastern territory early in the second half. Oregon’s other all-coast star, Riordan, was not invited to repre sent the West, but has turned pro fessional. He was schedided to start for the Westwood Cubs in a game with the Los Angeles Ma roons for the national American Legion championship this week. Spring Practice Next With the exception of the activ ities of Carter and Riordan, Web foot football is all over until spring practice. The team won six games in a difficult nine-game schedule, losing only to California, UCLA, and St. Mary’s. Next fall, under the new Pacific Coast conference schedule arrange ment, Prink Callison’s team will play seven conference tilts, in cluding one with Stanford’s cham pion Indians.

JOIN OUR LIBRARY $£.00 For the Term Entitles You to All the Books You Can Read the ‘CO-OP’ Basketball and Wrestling To Occupy Donut Athletes Two sports, basketball and wrestling, will occupy the atten tion of intramural athletes during the winter term. Entry blanks have been sent to each living organization on the campus in order to facilitate easy registration of the athletes, and managers of each competing house were to have returned these no later than Wednesday, at five o’clock. From early indications based on the blanks returned, the majority of the teams will be on hand to start competition in bas ketball when the season opens Monday, January 13. Also on the program during the coming term will be wrestlting, which usually develops wide spread interest among the students due to the sensational competition among its contestants. Athletes participating in this sport started training for the coming season early last term in order to be in condition for the contests. Intramural basketball again this term will be comprised of an “A” league and a “B” league. Partici pants of the “B” league may grad uate into “A” league if they show enough promise but no “A” league player may ever play in the “B” league. This ruling has been made in order that the teams will be more evenly matched. Calendar (Continued from Page One) election of officers. All pre-medical students are asked to be present.

Pre-Season Duck Record Impressive Hobson Quint Piles Up 10 Consecutive Victories in Vaeation Oregon’s harcl-working basket ball giants have squared off against pre-season opposition 14 times this winter, and 12 times they have come through with fly ing colors. Pre-season hoop results are more often than not taken with a grain of salt and rightfully should be, but the record of the Webfoots on their recent barnstorming tour to San Francisco and waypoints cannot fail to impress almost any observer. Right now the colossal cagers who perform for Howatd Hobson have a winning record of ten. Six games were won on the Cal ifornia trip. Three of these tri umphs were at the expense of Southern Oregon normal, and other victories were won over Young Men’s Institute of San Francisco, Utah Aggies, and Chico State. Be fore and after the southern jour ney the Ducks have found time to spill Multnomah club three times and Union Oil twice. In 14 games, Oregon’s basket eeers have piled up 615 points, an average of 43.9 per contest, against 458, a 32.7 average, for opponents.
