Webfoots Crush Union Oilers, 55 to 31

Flash Championship
Form in Easy Win

Pace Scorers in
Eleventh Straight
Pre-Season Triumph
Oregon's high-scoring basketball
team turned on the heat in its
final pre-season game at McArthur
court last night and ran circles
around the surprised Union Oil
veterans to pile up a rousing 55
to-31 triumph.
The Webfoot giants flashed
championship form in crushing the
Oilers, who on two previous oc
casions had held them to close
scores. It was Oregon’s eleventh
consecutive pre-season victory and
Howard Hobson’s crew definitely
looked the part of a strong con
tender in the rapidly approaching
Northern Division race.
Nine Players Score
It wasn’t the individual work of
any one player or of any group of
players that carried the Ducks to
their amazingly easy win. Thirteen
men saw action in the slaughter
and nine of them collected at least
one field goal.
Big Ward Howell caged three
field buckets and five free tosses
to edge out Chuck Patterson for
scoring honors, 11 points to 10.
Sammy Liebowitz followed with 8
counters and Rollie Rourke had 7.
Hobson’s fast-breaking plays were
clicking continually, with the
Ducks constantly beating the out
classed Oilers down the floor.
Patterson Takes Tip
Patterson repeatedly outjumped
Chuck Wagner on the tip-off, and
at the backboards the Webfoots,
with Howell, Patterson, and Willie
Jones doing the work, virtually
monopolized the coveted casaba.
If ever a basketball team had
color the Webfoots did last night.
It fairly oozed from their spec
tacular, fast-passing, fast-break
ing play.
Oregon led every second of the
torrid tilt, from the time Liebow
itz sank two foul shots in the first
half-minute until towering Kay
Jewell fliped in Ken Purdy’s re
bound for the 54th and 55th points.
23-13 At Half
Patterson, Rourke and Liebowitz
sparked the Ducks in an early
rampage that sent their margin
soaring to 11 points, 23 to 12, by
the close of the first half. Midway
through the initial period the Oil
ers trailed on the undernourished
end of a 19-to-3 count, but Jerry
Thomas, ex-Oregon State forward,
chucked in three field goals and
kept the visitors within hailing
distance.
m A long howitzer by Ralph Cair
ney brought Union Oil within nine
points at the start of the final half,
but Patterson countered with a
cripple and the Ducks were off to
the races. Hobson changed his
players around freely and several
different combinations aided in the
festivities. Purdy, Jewell, and Sil
ver of the reserves kept up the
pace set by the regulars.
Webfoots Cage Fouls
The game was rough, with 15
fouls called on each team. Of 21
chances from the gift line by the
Webfoots made good 13 times.
Willie Jones of Oregon and Wag
ner and Railey of the Oilers ac
cumulated four personals apiece
and were prematurely banished to
the showers.
For the Oilers, whose all-stars
looked like pigmies beside the
gigantic Webfoots, Jerry Thomas
led the way. He tallied nine points.
In floor play and on defense Cair
ney was the standout.

Math Prof’s Work
Recognized in Journal
Professor A. F. Moursund has re
cently had his research paper, “On
Summation of the Derived Series
of the Conjugate Fourier Series,”
published in the 1935 October issue
of the American Journal of Mathe
matics. This paper makes Profes
sor Moursund’s eighth research
publication since his arrival at this
University five years ago. Accord
ing to Mr. Edgar E. DeCou, head
of mathematics department, Mr.
Moursund is publishing more pa
pers in the field of mathematics
than any other man in the state of
Oregon.
The Bulletin of American Mathe
matical Society, November, 1935
issue, listed Professor Moursund’s
abstract “On the Abel-Poisson
summability of derived series of
the conjugate Fourier series.”
Professor Moursund received his
B.A. and M.A. degrees from Uni

years at Brown university, in Prov

his doctor’s degree and has since

HOW TO KEEP UP
A PPEARANCES WITHOUT
MONEY IS PROBLEM
BEHIND THE TALK OF
OREGON FOOTBALL AND
THE COAST CONFERENCE
❖ Quacks
By CHARLES PADDOCK
Just another headache is the bit
of brow-wringing worry as to
whether or not the University be
longs in the Pacific Coast confer
ence. Student body opinion is over
whelmingly for it. But such things
are not so easily settled.
Since football has assumed a de
cidedly commercial complex, what
with salaries to coaches, athletes,
and publicity men, as well as obese
expense accounts to put the school
in good standing with powers that
be, principally sports scribes and
zealous alumni, one finds that little
Oregon (and she is little compared
to her California sisters) pays a
pretty heavy price for the privi
lege of playing around with these
affluent institutions.
Even with a sure and steady
source of funds from student fees
Oregon has hardly been able in past
years to match the reckless aban
don with which the southern schools
buy their way to grid fame. These
last few terms even this source has
dwindled much, and where, one
may ask, is the so-called cabbage
necessary to keep Oregon on the
football map?
Unfortunately, we think, the stu
dent body’s partial failure to lend
support is not due to any disgust
with the big business aspect of foot
ball. It is among the commoners
of the state rather than on the cam
pus that the reaction against big
business in amateur athletics has
taken place. The phenomenon of
students asking for winning teams

and failing- to support them finan
cially can be translated into pu;e
terms of campus poverty. The de
mand was there but the wherewith
al to assure it was missing.
The solution i3 certainly not a
return to the old student fee sys
tem.
Either support of big time sports
must come from those who can pay
for it or it must not come at all.
If the University is to stay in
the coast conference and “put on
the dog” in approved fashion, those
who can foot the bill must do it.
Certainly there will be cause for
squirming if the financial under
dogs are saddled with such a bud
get. It eould have no justification
on educational grounds.
As for the desirability of the kind
of commercialized athletics which
institutions of higher learning feel
constrained to carry on, there is
another day to speak of that. We

Frosh Basketeers
Win Opening Game
Team Displays Puncli
In Wentlling Victory
Displaying a powerful offense
but a ragged defense, Coach War
ren's green and yellow frosh bas
ketball team opened its 1936
season with an impressive 50 to
39 victory over the Wendling town
team at Wendling Wednesday
night.
The yearling players appeared to
be handicapped by the small
Wendling court and were unable to
use any set plays but managed to
win through superior team work
and better physical condition.
The entire freshman team of
Gale and Johansen at forwards,
Phelps at center, Heller and Anet
at guards showed up well for an
opening game. These men played
the entire contest except for the
last three minutes when Warren
sent in his reserves. Gale led the
frosh scoring parade with 13
counters, and was closely followed
by Phelps with 12. Wicks, with 16
markers, was high man for the
Wendling quintet.
