Duck Swimmers Will Travel South The child that issues this column opened his trap once too often. That was last Thursday night when he sat at this very same typewriter and tapped out the fol lowing predictions, to wit: Oregon would nail the Husky in his lair, and the Ducklings would take a pair from the baby Beavers over the weekend, or any other time they chanced to meet. Counting his prophecy of the outcome of the Oregon-Oregon State game, the young scamp has picked one win ner in five games for an average of 200 per cent. Horrible indeed! What do you suppose could have wrecked his predictions? Let us look into the situation. One or two of the boys who went to Seattle in official capacities de clare that the Huskies had an ad vantage in physical condition. They carried the game along at a kill ing pace which the Oregonians thought could not last. It not only lasted, but as the contests pro gressed the speed increased. Coach Howard Hobson scoffed at the “condition” story, saying that Washington has a wonderful ag gregation of ball handlers and passers that are smooth and ac curate, cool and fast. Oregon, in the writer’s opinion, looked pretty shaky in spots, but showed occasional streak of excel lent ball. Too many long passes caused a deal of harm, as evidenced by the many interceptions made by Washington. Even when the Web foots worked the ball into shoot ing proximity to the enemy’s basket, it was extremely difficult for them to locate the hoop for business purposes. Because of the able coaching ability, height, and excellent re serve power of the Ducks, it stands to reason that they must have been “off.” Hobbie would never ad mit that this was the case, how ever. SB * !i! Lose to the Huskies this week end and the last vestige of a chance to finish on the Northwest roof goes glimmering. Oregon has the finest team, potentially, on the coast. They’ll be playing in their own gardens, fierce for revenge on the lads that tumbled them so in gloriously. Phychologically they’re ready to thrash and wreck the race leaders from Seattle, and they will, two straight! Previously undefeated Duckling's piddled around in the Corvallis em porium and were nosed out by a Rook team that had lost two games to medium-strong oppon ents. Even in victory, the Year lings appeared ragged, the first half especially. They settled down and all started pulling the same way as the second period pro gressed. The Astorians, Wally Johansen and Bobby Anet, handled the ball smoothly and on the defensive con tinually harrassed the Beaver kits. Gale Fouts, from eastern Wash ington, and Oakridge's 1935 all state, Laddie Gale supplied the bucket sinking impetus. The four some appears to be headed for next year's varsity squad, although Anet and Johansen are handicap ped by a lack of altitude. ■ * * * Comparative scores just have to be worthless! But for the benefit of those who think they are a criterion, we print the following. Albany high school, on paper, is as strong as the University of Oregon basketball team, if not more pow erful. Last week Albany dumped the Oregon State Rooks, 16 to 12. The Kooks beat the Oregon fresh men a couple of nights later, and yesterday evening the freshmen tripped the Oregon varsity by a 43 to 37 count. Johansen and Anet caused their more fully feathered brelhern a pile of bother. Ken Purdy and the Bronx Bomber flashed for the varsity. * * * The Alpha Phi trio! The Alpha Phi trio! But what have they to do with the field of sport? Simply this, comrades. They are to croon to the assembled crowds at Chet Jamison's Green Parrot Palms next Saturday night. There is still a look of puzzle ment on the reader’s face. Further elucidation is necessary. Chet and his cohorts are staging a dance in honor of the football champions of the Northwest and their coaches. They’ll all be there at the Parrot as guests, as will the members of the University of Washington basketball team. Ten seeds are to be given to the living organization having the largest turnout. Jack McCarthy and his revamped band will strike up as soon as the Huskies are taken into camp. What a chance to really rally. [ Sign Up Today, Is Word to Boxers, Workouts Required Pugilists expecting to take part in all-campus boxing should should sign up immedi ately. Ten workouts must be taken before competition begins. Boxers . wishing to take part should sign up now, either with Stan Riordan or in the office at the men’s gym. Godfrey High in Bowling Tourney George H. Godfrey, head of the University news bureau, will play in the semi-finals of one filght of the state bowling tournament at the Oregon bowling alleys in Port land this week. A victory ths v/eek, and another in the flight final, would place Godfrey among the four players to contest for a $100 cash prize. Each flight is made up of 32 men, in all, four divisions, with a field of 128 contestants. Dean Morse Speaks At Myrtle Point Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, returned Sunday from Myr tle Point, where he addressed the meeting of the Coos county bar as sociation Saturday. At the after noon meeting, which was open to the public, Dean Morse discussed “The Political vs. Economic The ory of Constitutional Law.” At the evening banquet he spoke on “The Bar's Relation and Respon sibility to Legal Education.” Farmer-Laborite Heralding a bitter fight within Minnesota’s Farmer-Labor party, Magnus Johnson, ex-U. S. repre sentative and senator, is shown here as he filed his candidaey for the party nomination for governor. He will oppose Elmer A. Benson, recently named U. S. senator and said to be the choice of Gov. Floyd B. Oison to succeed Olson, j when the latter runs for the sen ate next November. Leader’s Lobs Win Net Match 60-Year-0Id Colonel Plays Like Champ Britisher Defeats Muriel Nicholas, State Title-Holder, In Sets, 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 “Helen Wills and Celia Hewitt are the only two women with whom I have played tennis who have the stroke of this girl,” said Col. John Leader, after an im promptu match yesterday with Muriel Nicholas, youthful holder of the state tennis championship in Oregon and junior at the Univer sity. Although Miss Nicholas lost the three sets, 6-1, 6-0, and 6-2, she played an excellent game. In com menting on it Colonel Leader said, “She would undoubtedly have won if she had kept up on her toes and used the lob. Her head-work and strokes were far superior to mine. But even though I hobbled around the court, don't you know, I managed to reach her beautiful drives just because I didn’t stand on my heels.” Colonel Is Flashy The game began slowly and was a match of wits throughout, al though both players opened up and showed flashes of speed in sharp contrast to their usual wariness. Colonel Leader in his character istic style again and again let a ball get almost to him and then flashed his racquet into action like lightning. The Colonel used easy, slow serves with now and then a pecu liar chop with which he scored three aces before his opponent be gan meeting them with an easy return that was untouchable. His lobs effectively blocked Miss Nich olas’ net playing, and he very sel dom took the net himself, playing a typically English game well back in the court. Muriel Nicholas, slight and small, calmly waiting for the ball, would slam it back with a power unushal even among men players of the first rank. However, she very seldom found a clear piece of court. The Colonel, in spite of his 60 years, seemed to be every place at once. Again and again Miss Nicholas failed to smash through his guard, and gradually she began taking up his own game of strat egy. This especially delighted her opponent, who would chuckle glee fully whenever she sent over an untouchable ball. Leader Is Veteran Colonel Leader, who took up tennis after he had reached middle age so that he might play the game his children play, has won numerous championships. At pres ent he holds the cup given by King Gustav of Sweden for men over fifty. In 1931 he entered interna tional men’s doubles for Ireland with his son. They were the oldest and youngest players respectively that year. Colonel Leader has played most of the tennis cham pions past and present both in Europe and America and has been an official at many international matches. He has coached such champions as Katherine Stammers, who, in his opinion is the world's best woman player today. The Colonel is sailing for Eng land in a few days but is planning to return shortly and he says he will make a champion of the first rank of Miss Nicholas by teaching her to work on her toes and to develop her lobs. There are more than 4,400.000 prints in the fingerprint files of the Bureau of Investigation of the United States. This is said to be the most complete collection in the world.

Ducks Return After Defeat Washington to Play Here This Week-end Oregon’s grenadiers of the ma ple court, sadder and wiser after an unpleasant weekend at Seattle, resumed practice work in friendly Igloo surroundings Sunday and yesterday. The Webfoots were thoroughly chastened by Washington’s fire eating Huskies in both games of the series at the northern metropo lis and slid unceremoniously from first to third place in the northern division race. The Huskies are now far out in front with four wins and no losses, with Oregon State in second with five triumphs and a pair of defeats. The poor Ducks are now groping around in third place with three wins and two on the chin. Ducks Not “Down” The Oregon players were not a bit downhearted when they arrived in Eugene Sunday and to a man th«y are confident that this Friday and Saturday, when Washington invades McArthur court, will be a different story. Howard Hobson discredited the yarn that the Webfoots’ double de feat at Seattle was due to supe rior condition of the Huskies. The Oregon mentor said that the Wash ington players were just as fa tigued as the Ducks after 40 min utes of sprinting up and down the court. “Hobbie” credited Washing ton’s victories to the fact that the Huskies had a great ball club which happened to be very defin itely “on.” Scrimmage With Frosh The Webfoots went through a long scrimmage with the frosh Sunday and yesterday engaged the yearlings in a practice game— which the freshmen won. Empha sis in both drills was placed upon shooting, for in the Washington se ries the Oregon players were woe fully weak in that important de partment. While the Huskies were notonous regularity, the Ducks Frosh Stage Comeback Rooks Routed, 32-21 As Fouts, Gale Star The fighting freshmen came back and Oregon State’s baby Bea vers took a 32 to 21 beating Sat urday night at McArthur court. Battled to a standstill at Cor vallis Friday, the frosh were a dif ferent crew on their home floor. The Warrenites took an early lead and had the game well in hand un til the final gun. Gale Fouts, dead-eye forward from Walla Walla, found his shoot ing eye for the first time this year, and led his teammates to victory by personally accounting for 12 points. Laddie Gale was shifted by Coach Warren from forward! to center where he turned in a great game by holding Bob Rissman, lanky Rook scoring threat, to 4 points, while gafnering 8 himself. It was Rissman, former Astoria high star, who proved to be the downfall of his former coach and several of his ex-team mates Fri-1 day night when he alone amassed 17 of the Rooks’ 37 points. The freshmen have four games on schedule for this week. Tonight they meet the Oakridge high team in a scrimmage at McArthur and tomorrow night they plan a re turn game with Riggs’ All-Stars. Friday the team journeys to Asto ria where Coach Warren and three of the players, Johansen, Anet, and Nilsen, will celebrate their home coming. From Astoria the team will proceed to Tillamook for a game with the Cheesemakers Sat urday night. caging even long shots wiih mo were “off” in both tilts. All men survived the unhappy Puget Sound episode without se rious mishap and are expected to be ready to turn the tables on the Husky this week.

The dorms had a big day. Sigma hall downed the Fijis, who, though they live at the same address, were little enough pleased to drop the encounter. Final score was 23 to 17. Wilson, Chaney and Winslow stood out among the winners’ ranks, Wilson making seven points. Foley, Fiji guard, accounted for nine, but lacked the support neces sary. Gamma hall defeated the Coop erative house quintet to top off the day for the dormitory men. Mor ris, left-handed forward ace, ran up 16 points for the winners.

Envisaging a season of conquest for the Aquaducks, a tentative schedule has been drawn up involving meets not only in the south but throughout the Northwest as well. Negotiations are now under way to bring the Northwest conference meet to Eugene this year.

New PE Plant Work Will Start Shovels Mtvy Begin This Week, Bovard __ Shovels are expected to start ex cavation this week for the new men's physical education plant, ac cording to John Bovard, dean of the school of physical education. Technicalities in the PWA rulings On bidding have made it impossible to begin earlier, he said. The new gym will face on Uni versity street and will extend from Fifteenth street to McArthur court. A connecting hallway will be constructed between the gym and the present assistant graduate manager's office, thus facilitating enclosed passage to the Igloo bas ketball court. Eight standard size handball courts will be located in a wooden shell to be placed around the ce ment structure-. The present men’s gym has only two regulation hand ball courts. The area included in Hayward field gives an idea of the size of the new building, Bovard pointed out. The mammoth plant will cov er almost the same area. Because the structure as planned exceeded the PWA allottinent, it was necessary to cut out some of the projects. In changing the lay out, consideration was given the possibility of future additions.

No Northwest meets will be held until after the south ern trip, Hoyman says. The California trip lists San Joso Junior college February 12; Stan ford, Febraury 14; and University of California, February 15. Ihe Duck splashers are in fight ing form. Saturday's intra-squad meet was utilized by three veter ans to crack coast records. Every man on the team is edged for one of the greatest seasons ever in store for the Oregon team. Last Saturday's meet saw Jim Hurd churning under the tape in the 100 yard free style in 54:6, more than a second under the 55.8 time set by Smith of Oregon State. Reed Brothers Hot Chuck Reed breezed home in the 200 yard breast stroke event in 2:41.1. The former unofficial rec ord was held by Van Gilsey of Ore gon State, when he made it in 2:43.5, back in 1934. Jim Reed was the third record breaker. He did the 100 yard breast stroke in 1:6.2. The old mark was held by Tebbet of Stan ford, who made it in 1:6.8 in 1933. Third Libe Floor Ready to Poor The third and last floor of the new library will be ready to pour by tomorrow. Now that the build ing is getting smaller as the sec ond floor is finished the construc tion work goes along much faster. The steel shelves for the stack room are in readiness. The men working on this end of the con struction are waiting for the car penters to get through in the room. It is estimated that this work will begin the last part of this week.
