League Lead At Stake In Duck-Husky Game Undefeated Quintets Will Meet Tonight In Northerner’s Lair Like Styles of Play Will Clash in First Of Two-Game Series; Regulars to Start Basketball juggernauts of the University of Oregon and the Uni versity of Washington will battle at Seattle tonight in the opener of a two-game struggle for possession of first place in the northern di vision race. Oregon students may hear the contest over radio station KORE of Eugene, which will broadcast the encounter direct from the Uni versity of Washington pavilion. Opening tip-off is set for 8 o’clock, but the broadcast will begin five or ten minutes earlier. Bolh Teams Boom Absolutely anything can happen in tonight's game. Experts are at a total loss in doping the outcome of the fray. Each team is com posed of big booming, driving men, and each uses a fast-breaking of fense and man-for-man defense. Winner will be the quintet which can out-boom the other. Both Webfoots and Huskies be lieve in casting off whenever the slightest chance presents itself. Hec Edmundson, veteran Washing ton mentor, has long favored the system of shooting from anywhere and then following in. Howard Hobson’s hoopsters heave for the bucket on any occasion also, and the team which happens to be hit ting the hemp most often tonight and tomorrow is the team which will climb into undisputed leader ship of the conference. Regulars to Start Latest indications are that line ups which have started other league tilts will open for both teams tonight. Probable starters follow: Oregon Washington Howell .F. Loverich Liebowitz .F. McKinstry Patterson .C. Bishop W. Jones .G. Egge Rourke .G. Wagner Oregon holds three w*ins and no defeats in division standings, while the Huskies also have a spotless record but have only two triumphs. Both showed abundance of scoring ability in crushing opponents. Washington downed Washing ton State in opening games, 30 to 20 and 40 to 23, while Oregon trounced Idaho by 61-to-29 and 45 to-41 scores and edged out Oregon State, 29 to 27. Oregon’s offense has averaged ten points more per contest than Washington’s, but on defense the Huskies hold an 3 point advantage. Oregon has piled up 145 points, an average of 45 per game, while the Husky average for two tilts is 35 counters. Aver age score for Oregon's opponents is 32; for Washington’s, 24. McLean Left at Home When the Webfoots entrained for Seattle yesterday noon Chief McLean was left behind. The flashy Indian guard is still both ered by a knee injury. Loss of Mc Lean leaves the field open to Rollie Piourke and wee Bill Courtney for the only questionable starting po sition. The two will probably be used interchangeably. Hobson will depend upon Ward Howell, Sammy Liebowitz, Willie Jones, and Chuck Patterson to pile up the points, Washington’s point-manufacturing machine is sparked by speedy Ed Loverich and Chuck Wagner, two lads who are following in the footsteps of far famed Bobby Galer, Bob McKin stry, Ralph Bishop, and Bob Egge fill the remaining posts on the Husky first string quint. It Used to Be a Jinx Washington supremacy over Ore gon in basketball used to be a tra dition rivaled only by the superior ity of the Webfoots over the Hus kies in football, but this year things have changed. In ten years since the 1926 sea son. when “Hobbie” Hobson him self was burning up the boards for Oregon, the Ducks have dumped the Seattle squad just four times. Last season Washington won three in four. It is estimated that a person's chance of being killed in an auto mile accident is four timps as great at night as during the day. W ire the Web foots ! Fans Urged to Send Team Encouragement Oregon’s basketball team will need all the encouragement it can get for tonight's and to morrow night’s big fights with the Washington Huskies, and wires from student fans will be appreciated by the squad. The Webfoots are staying at the Edmondmeany hotel in Seattle. Howell Leads Hoop Scorers Liebowitz, W. Jones Also Point-Getters Up-to-date percentages compiled yesterday put Oregon’s giant Ward Howell at the top of the North west scoring list. In three games Howell piled up 37 points for a 12.3 average. Wally Palmberg and Cliff Folen, Beaver aces, have rolled up 52 and 41 points respec tively, but required five games in which to do it. Palmberg Second Following Howell in per-game scoring is Palmberg with a 10.4 average. Sammy Liebowitz, Ore gon’s humpty-dumpty, rates third with 9.6, and right behind is Willie Jones, second high in season scor ing last year. Jones has an 8.3 average. Folen claims fifth place with his average of 8.2. Chuck Patterson, the Ducks’ dark flash, rates eighth with a 7.6 average. At the bottom of the 15 man list is Tuttle, Oregon State, with 5.2.

Frosh-Rook ‘Civil War’ Opens Tonight Powerful Ducklings Primed for Initial Hoop Battle Against Corvallis Youngsters Possibly the most powerful yearling basketball squad ever to play under the colors of the Uni versity of Oregon will journey to Corvallis tonight to meet its keen est rival, the OSC Rooks, in the first of a four game series. The second game will be at McArthur court tomorrow night. “We’ll be lucky if we win one of the four games,” declared Coach Warren last night, “the players haven't ben showing enough fight.” They call him “Honest John”! An imposing array of deadly shot-makers, accurate passers, and speedy ball-handlers and dribblers have carried the Ducklings to com paratively easy victories irt seven pre-season games. Lineups Given Heading the point-getters are Wally Johansen, deceptive six-foot er, and Laddie Gale, all-state from Oakridge high. These two men will start at forwards tonight, accord ing to Warren, but Gale Fouts and Leonard Heller will probably see plenty of service as under studies. Dee Phelps, from Hood River, has the center position well in hand and will start against the Babes. Bob Anet, two year all-state from Astoria, and Gale Smith, up-and coming guard from Grant high of Portland, will hold down the two guard posts. Reserves May Play Other men making the trip are Hank Nilsen, Rod Hansen, Ford Mullen, Bill Campbell, and Bob Smith. The probable starting lineup of the Rooks will be: McCarthy and Kuvallis, forwards; Rissman, cen ter; A. Sandoz and Fred Soller, guards. Casteel to Speak Before Young People John L. Casteel, director of the speech department for the Univer sity will speak on “Beauty in Re ligion” before the young people of the local First Christian church during their breakfast which will be held at the Cafe Del Rey, Sun day, January 26, at 8 p. m. The toastmaster for the break fast will be Tingley Champie. Vo cal numbers will be offered by Vel tie Pruitt, and a piano solo by Miss Jewel Cunningham. Tickets are now on sale for 25 cents and may be obtained from the following University students: Francis Beck and Ambrose Huff. Variety oj Oregon Scenes Shown in Brown Exhibit Oregon scenes, including several | done in Eugene and its vicinity, are depictedtin the water color ex-1 hibit which Eyler Brown, assistant professor of architecture, now has on display in the Little Art gallery of the school of architecture and allied arts. Thirty-nine sketches make up the exhibit, which will be i up for two or more weeks. The subject matter of each of the drawings is similar, but the total effect is entirely different, as each picture expresses a defin ite mood of its own. The artist, in an interesting way, has varied his approach to fit the character of the subject matter, which is in al most every case, simple and famil iar. Some of the pictures give a strong impression of gaiety and sunshine—others are more sub dued and gray in mood. Deep, rich colors are much in evidence, as well as the lighter, more delicate shades. The scenes of eastern Oregon are outstanding in that the artist has translated the full intensity of their colors to the [medium of the water color. “Smith Rock,” as an example of this, is dramatic in its dark, bold color. "Rocks, John Day Highway” is also noticeable for its cleVer ar rangement and blending of light and dark colors. In contrast to these pictures, “Delight Valley, Roseburg” is deli cate in its harmony of grays and greens, producing a definite tonal ity. “Spring Valley” is a fine ex ample of pure water color tech nique. A bold successful experiment in vivid color harmony is “Mt. Tom, Coburg,” which is done in brilliant shades of purple and green. The definite, strong outline of the form looming up in the foreground is impressing in “Trash Burner.” The scenes done in and around Eugene are interesting and well worth noting because of their fam iliarity and because of the artist’s interpretation. A few of them are “Shingle Mill,” “Quarry, Skinner’s Butte,’’ “Roundhouse,” “A r t Court,” “Swimming Hole, Anchor age,” “Yates Hotel Annex,” and “Woolen Mills.” Dave Silver, Reserve Pictured here is Dave Silver, one of the ten men who customarily fill the Oregon substitute bench. Silver starred on the 1935 freshman team, and is waiting for a chance to get into the varsity lineup. He'll go north with the Webfoots this week. Sport ❖ DUCKLING SHOULD HAVE EASY TIME; VARSITY FACES STERNER STUFF OREGON ALL AROUND, SAYS McCALL, COMING OUT OF A DEED TRANCE ❖ Quacks By TOM McCALL, I had planned to devote tonight’s column to the report of a tele phone interview with Mrs. Haile Selassie. Just as I sat down to call the castle, my eye fell on an issue of the Emerald whose great black type told a story of fiendish activ ity of the varsity and freshman basketball teams of the University of Oregon this weekend. Trans fixed by the interest of the account before me, I ordered, “Long dis tance,” as if in a dream. I don’t know how long it was that I read, horn to ear, before the crisp tones of the operator snapped my trance with “Here's your party.” I leaned suddely toward the mouth piece eager to hear the old famil iar tones of my girlhood friend, who was now the Empress. A voice came from the other end of the wire weakly. Enfeebled by the great distance, probably,” was my first thought. “Hello, Lena?” I fairly howled. A cry which sounded like one of recognition came to my ears. Then it was that memories of the old days with Lena’s family in their castle on the Nile, Three Trees, Limited, was its name, flooded my emotions, and I talked, heaven only knows how long. But I guess the operator did for she interrupted the monologue with, “Time’s up. Your call to Springfield was exactly 15 cents.” Click! So it was that the decision was reached that this column had bet ter deal with sports exclusively, the localer the better, so here goes with some predicting. The undefeated, high powered Ducklings are going to trample the Beaver kids tonight and tomorrow night, and any other night that they meet, for that matter. Although John Warren bemoan the size of his charges, they an clever and fast enough to make u; for any height disadvantages. Am way you look at it, ;J83 points in six games, an average of 47 pel game, indicates that the boys have a fair sort of offensive. Leading the team in individual scoring i Forward Lauren Gale of Oakridge with a total of 76 points in fivi games. He is trailed by Wall^ Johansen, Dee Phelps, Gale Smith and Lobby Anet, v. ho have cage; 61, 31, 30, anil 33 points, respec tively, in six games. These boys will account for a blizzard of baskets in any man’s league, and they’ve managed to give the league leading varsity bunch a lacing in practice sessions. Messrs. Kuvallis, McCarthy, Kissmnn, Soller, and Sandoz from over State will have to play a much less dreary type of ball than they have been put ting out if they even /want} to catch up with the Duckling’s dust. * * S: Howard Hobson returns to the city where ten years ago he brought triumpli to Oregon in the form of a victory over the Huskies which gave the Webfoots their last division championship. Hobbie, in the crucial game of the 1926 sea son, potted three points in the last minute of play to give his team the Huskies’ pelt, 26-23. This year he is in Seattle ready to do the trick again. There are a dozen young giants there to help him. What will happen when the fight for the Northwest roof posi tion begins tonight, would be hard telling. Oregon and Washington are both fast-breaking, powerfully offensive squads. There will he a deal of scoring in the Husky barn, and Oregon will have the majority of buckets both games running. That's my picture of the v/ars. Gil ls’ Basketball Starts Wednesday Sixteen women’s basketball teams have been organized from the living organizations and inde pendent groups.

It was the first time the lofty Beta “A” team has been troubled to win. Relying on Siegmund, rangy for ward, the Betas held an advantage throughout, but were troubled to score consistently until the final quarter. McQredie, Beta center, though unable to see the hoop well last night, controlled the tip-off. Parks, slippery Theta Chi for ward, looped in six points to tie with Siegmund for scoring honors. McCredie, of the winners, and Phillips of Theta Chi, were respon sible for four each. Sigma Nu Victorious The Sigma Nu “A” team built up a healthy lead in the first half of its contest with the Delts, and coasted through to a 22-14 victory. Foskett, Sigma Nu center, tore loose with nine points before half time, giving the Eleventh street team an advantage that stood, even though the Delt team was more careful in the later periods not to let it happen again. Healy, Sigma Nu, also came in for honors with a total of six points. Swenson and Butler led the Delta Tau Delta forces.
