Huskies Beat Ducks --- 9 36-28, To Lead Loop Rooks Down Frosh in Overtime Oregon State Babes Edge Out 37-35 Win Kissman’s Basket In Last 15 Seconds Decides Civil War Tilt at Corvallis Oregon State's baby Beavers handed the Oregon frosh quintet its first defeat of the current sea son at Corvallis last night by staging a driving, slashing rally in an overtime period which netted the Orange 7 points. Final score was 37-35. Ironically enough it was one of the former Astoria high stars of John Warren, Duckling mentor, who gave the Rooks their win. Big Bob Rissman, who starred for Warren’s Fighting Fishermen for several years, was the man who pushed in the winning tallies in the last 15 second of play. He also led all scorers with 17 counters. The slightly favored frosh held a narrow 17-16 edge at half time. Score at the end of the regular playing time was knotted at 30-30. Showing a surprising reversal of form since little Albany high school trounced them 16-12 last Wednesday, the Beaverlings kept up the fast pace set by the frosh and finally came out on top. Laddie Gale, star frosh forward, who played guard last night, was second high scorer and led the Ducklings with 13 points. The two teams clash again to night at McArthur court in the second of the annual four game series. The lineups: Frosh (35) Rooks (37) F. FogleJohanson, 2 F. Kuvallis, 5Phelps, 5 .... C....

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1936 A BIT OF EVERYTHING; SLIP MADIGAN VISITS; STANFORD’S MISTAKE SPORTSMANSHIP AGAIN; CLASSIC BASKETBALL SAGA FROM CORVALLIS Quacks By TOM McCALL Gentlemen, the class session today will deal with a bit of every thing-. Slip Madigan, Gael mentor, dropped in on Prink Callison in the latter’s office yesterday afternoon. Just what the two gentlemen dis cussed is a matter of conjecture. Madigan is heading north for a short rest period. * Hs * The basketball followers at Seattle and Corvallis have decidedly opposite opinions on the equilibrium of Oregon's Sammy Liebowitz. In the Husky lair he is credited as being a cool-headed wizard of a passer and sharpshooter, whereas the concensus of those “who know,” over State way, is that he is not a man that can be depended on because of an operatic temperament. (He can play on my all-star team any time he is so inclined.) Recently the Stanford swimming squad was credited with un officially smashing the coast 400 yard relay record when Captain Jack Kuhn, Henry Goodman, Jack Vibert, Alec McKenzie, and Martin Scatena negotiated the distance in three minutes, forthy-three and a half seconds. Although that time is very fast, it comes a long from breaking the coast’s official time of 3:38.1 that is recorded in the National Collegiate swimming guide. The Stanford paper should have its wrist slapped for making such an error (that is if a newspaper has a wrist) because it was the Cardinal team that hung up the real record, way back in 1932. The booing of the Washington fans last night prompted me to print the following short editorial which appeared in a midwest paper: “In a recent radio interview the coach of the University of Illinois basketball team was asked by the announcer, ‘In your opinion what is the greatest need of the basketball game today?’ His answer was, ‘The development of a far better spirit of sportsmanship on the part of crowds at games.’ In explanation of his statement, the coach indicated that over a period of years there has been an attempt at his university to inculcate the ideals of the Illinois Code of Sportsman ship in both the members of the student body and the general public. So successful have been their efforts that during the past eighty years only two occasions came to mind on which there were lapses involving discourteous treatment of officials by the Illinois crowd.” Ibe Oregon crowd could stand a bit of study from a smilar volume. * * tj; Gentlemen, the rest of the period we will devote to history. Jesse James’ brother Frank used the turf racket to keep a jump ahead of the gendarmes when they were on the family’s trail. One year when the national posse was hot on his scent Frank controlled a string of bangtails on the Tennessee tracks. He even rode several winners in races that were open to gentlemen riders only. Later he became a big betting commissioner and an eminent citizen of Missouri. Despite the fact that Babe Ruth is athletically left handed, ne still uses the right flipper to make his signature. In 1925 Oregon and Oregon State tied for the top of the North west division, which necessitated a three game play-off to decide which team shouid meet California for the championship of the coast. In the first game the Aggies held their neighbors to four field goals and eked out a 15 to 12 victory. The second contest was won by Oregon when Hobson dropped a field bucket to break a 21to 21 tie in the last few seconds of plays. It was finally decided that the third game should be played at the small Willamette university court in Salem. We'll let Hal Higgs of the Barometer tell you of what happened in that fan packed arena which was rocked to its foundations by the thunder of the situation. “Well, with five seconds left to go in the bull game and Oregon Aggies leading 27 to 26, Laurie Baker, Aggie guard, fouled Westergren of Oregon. Before the echos had quietd from the referee’s whistle the gun had sounded for the end of the game. ’’Westergren didn’t know whether to choke, whistle, sneeze or go blind. He was in a spot. Upon his eye and arm rested the championship of the Northwest. He was so nervous the captain of his team called time out so he could quiet down. After an almost endless period he stepped up to the gift line and fired away at the hoop. “They still talk about that shot, the old timers here at school. It hit the backboard, bounced out to the left of the basket and glanced off the inside rim to the other side of the hoop where it balanced for an con of time and then finally dropped to the floor. “Westergren fainted. The suspense was so great that three mem bers of the audience passed out too.’’ ELLIOT’S MARKET Corner 13th and Patterson TENDER STEAKS AND ROASTS From Swift s Branded Young Steer Beef We Clive S & 11 Green Stamps Phone 95 DOMESTIC LAUNDRY “Where the Service Is Better” LAUNDRY —DRY CLEANING Phone 252 li'-i Seventh Avenue West I ATO Defeats Kappa Sigs Easily, 21-13 SAE’s Down Phi Sigs; Wintermute Leads Phi Delis in 27-6 Scalping of Sigma Chi Alpha Tau Omega smeared the Kappa Sigs yesterday afternoon, 21-13, to maintain a spotless record in donut basketball. Andy Hurney, Kappa Sigma forward, banged at the hoop with consistency but was unable to match the efforts of the ATO artists.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon turned on lots of heat in the final canto to down the Phi Sigs, in a sparkling exhibition of defense, 8-6. It was one-all at the end of the first quarter. The SAE quintet built up a 4-1 lead as the first half ended, but was hard-pressed to stay on the long end. Lieuallan and King garnered three apiece for the winners. Jones, Phi Sig substitute, heaved in four for the losers. Kennedy and Young showed particularly good ball hawking for the Phi Sig team, but lacked the scoring punch.

Nine thousand delirious custom ers cheered the id'omitable Huskies to a triumph which gave them un disputed possession of first place in the northern division race with three straight wins. Oregon had three wins without a loss prior to tonight. Ducks Take Lead The Ducks roared into action at the contests beginning and bom barded the bucket like the original Grenadiers bombarded opposing armies. With Sammy Liebowitz leading the way with uncanny passing and shooting, Howard Hobson’s giants rolled up a 10-to-4 margin in the first six minutes of play, Chuck Wagner hit one for Wash ington to make it 10 to 6, and then, with only 8 minutes gone, Oregon was the victim of a fright ful break as Chuck Patterson, rub ber-legged center, was banished on his fourth personal foul. Patter son had already bucketed a pair of field goals and was the Ducks’ chief threat at the backboards. Wintermute, 14 ..C. Milligan, 3 .G Strohecker, 2 .G. S. S. ..

Washington closed the gap to a single point as Ralph Bishop opened up with a pair of howitzers, but Willie Jones and the unguard able Liebowitz holed a foul shot and a field goal respectively to put the Webfoots ahead at 16 to 12. Lovcrich dropped in a push shot and Wagner canned a skyscraper to knot the tally, but Oregon rap idly drove ahead again as Howell tipped in Liebowitz’ pass and Wil lie Jones converted on Wagner’s foul. Those three points made it 19 to 16 for Oregon and that’s the way it stood at half-time. Bishop sank one of two charity tosses on Courtney’s foul as the final period opened, but big How ell countered with a pair of con versions on a rule infraction by Wagner. The score was 21 to 17 with a minute gone in the half. Wagner Ties Score Loverich raced in fast on Wag ner’s foul shot rebound, flicked it in, and it was 21 to 19. Wagner, who contributed five field goals to the Husky total during the eve ning, grabbed an out-of-bounds im mediately after the tip-off and swished the netting from mid-floor to deadlock the count at 21.

It was the third successive one point mar gin contest in which the Beavers have participated, having won two of the trio. Bulletin! Stanford upset USC last night, 32-25, after a slow start which found them trailing 15-11 at half-time. California pulled a starting upset by defeating UCLA, 35-33. Cal led 16-13 at half-time. It was a close, rough contest all the way. Little Wally Palmberg again staged a duel with Idaho’s Wally Geraghty, with the former appar ently coming out the winner. Palmberg sank a free toss in the last few minutes of play to give the Oregon State five a substantial three point lead, only to see the count tied again at 21-21, as Norm Iverson, football luminary, staged a one-man rally with a pinch how itzer and gift toss. Palmberg Scores Again The stage was then set for Palm berg’s last effort, which was another free throw, providing the winning point. So close was the contest through out that Idaho rallied to take the lead five times during the evening, being ahead 12-11 at the half. At no time during the tilt was either team in the lead by more than four points. lliiiiiiKimiiuimuiiiimii Miimiiiiiiiiiii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilililiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillliliiiliiiiiiliiiiiiiiriiiiiiliiiiiitiitiiiiiiilil' Places to Go and Things to Do ........

McDonald McDonald — "Captain Blood,” with Errol Flynn, Olivia De Havil land, Lionel Atwill and Basil Rath bone, plus "Bad Boy,” with Jimmy Dunn, Dorothy Wilson. Saturday through Wednesday. “Captain Blood,” which opens Saturday at the McDonald theater, and which is co-featured with “Bad Boy,” is a picturization of Rafael Sabatini’s stirring novel of the same name. It stars Errol Flynn, internationally known adventurer and soldier of fortune, who has been hailed as the year’s most im portant screen "find.” "Bad Boy” features James Dunn and Dorothy Wilson, in Vina Delmar’s successor to “Bad Girl.” The story is one of young love in modern times, com pelling and at times touching, but rising to a brilliant and satisfying finale. REX Rex—“First a Girl,” Sunday’s headliner at the Rex theatre, is the latest starirng opus of Jessie Mathews, the dancing darling of London and toast of two conti nents.
