Hordes of northerners from the University of Wash ington will throng into Eugene this weekend to scalp and skunk the Gre ladiers of Oregon. Can the Webfoots stop them ? CHIEF McLEAN READY TO SEE SERVICE IN WASHINGTON SERIES NORTHWEST REFEREES APPARENTLY REACH NEW HIGH FOR UNPOPULARITY • By TOM MeCALL A newcomer to the northern division circles will make his ap pearance at McArthur court to morrow night when the Webfoots meet the league leading Washing ton Huskies. The stranger, who will be in full Oregon regalia, is none other than Chief McLean, the man who is the best dribbler in the Northwest. A few years ago Dr. Clarence Spears, former Oregon football coach, classed the Chief as the best floor man that he had ever cast eye uopn. And the Chief deserves all the plaudits that the onlookers ex tend to him. He’s a wizard at either for ward or guard, and he's as fast as a bullet and twelve and a half times as shifty. He’s a lad that can be depended on to put a deal of speed in the fast-breaking game that the Ducks affect. Add to those characteristics of ability a level head and a good knowledge of the game and you can see just why the Chief may draw down a starting assign ment against the Huskies. * * * Because Oregon State’s slow breaking type of play has been a constant source of annoyance to all the teams that employ the fast break, it might be a workable plan for the Webfoots to start a group of hoopsters who could slow the Huskies down to a dog trot. These same starters could go on to the floor and pass the ball round and round until the malamutes were dizzy and disgusted with life in general. Then Coach Hobson could shovel in a floor-load of sharp-eyed race horses to catch the visitors flat-footed. A long eared spy in the employ of this columnist overheard one of the lesser lights of the coaching staff, but an authority, neverthe less, approve of such a plan. This same authority advocated such a starting lineup as this: Budd Jones and Ken Purdy, forwards; Dave Silver, center; and John Lewis and Wayne Scott, guards. These prom ising youths, in his plot, would be able to bog down the fleet-footed Huskies. Once bogged, the Huskies could have to face an awe-inspir ing attack delivered by Center Chuck Patterson; Forwards Willie Jones and Wardell Howell; and Guards Chief McClean and Bill Courtney. The idea sounds fairly feasible on paper. If it is workable you can be sure that the ingenious Hobson has already planned on somthing similar. YW Plans Mock League of Nations Plans for the model League of Nations meeting scheduled for April 3 were discussed at a meet ing of the committee in charge Tuesday afternoon in the Y hut. Professor S. Stephenson Smith was appointed by the committee to list possible subjects for speeches for the league meeting. A report will be made in two weeks on these topics and at this time those wish ing to take part in the program as speakers are asked to be pres ent to choose the country they wish to represent and to discuss the topic on which they will speak. Announcement of the time of the next committee meeting will be made in the Emerald. According to present plans, the model league meeting will be fol lowed on April 4, Saturday night, by an International ball, to be held probably in Gerlinger. The league meeting itself will be ' held in Villard, it is expected, since the auditorium there is more suited to the purpose than any available on the campus. All stu dents are welcome to take part in the program, either as speakers or as observers, according to John E3py, chairman of the committee, planning the event.

Trip to Oregon Worries Huskies Ducks and Beavers Laying for Hec-men UNIVERSITY OF WASHING TON, Seattle — (Special) — With the conference title practically at stake, despite the youngness of the season, Washington begins a tough road trip series at Eugene Friday night. The only unbeaten team in the conference, the Huskies meet their most formidable opponents within a five-day period—Oregon Friday and Saturday and Oregon State at Corvallis next Monday and Tuesday. Washingtons live has been termed "the greatest passing team in the history of the institution.” Whether they can do as well on strange floors remains to he seen, but even if they drop half the games of the road trip, the Hus kies still have a good chance to win the title. It is practically certain that the first squad, composed of Ralph Bishop, Bob Egge, Bob McKinstry, Chuck Wagner and Bob Lovericli will be backed up by Jack Gan non, Hunt Paterson, Henry Rosen berg, Walter Kastner and Ross Werner. Coach Hec Edmundson has found these boys to be the strongest of the Washington hoop team. Captain Ralph Bishop has stead ily forged to the front in the scor ing column and although he stands but third in the scoring column be hind Palmberg of O.S.C. and How ell of Oregon, he has averaged 11 points to the game, making him the most consistent individual scorer in the northern division. Washington's victory over Ore gon last week-end to the tune of 3 to 28 and 10 to 26 has established the Huskies as the favorites to win the conference banner. They have played four games and lost none, whereas Oregon State in second place has played seven games, winning five and losing two. Caswell Attends Portland Meeting Dr. A. E. Caswell, head of the physics department, spent Tues day in Portland attending a meet ing of the Presbyterian synod of Oregon. It has been planned that the summer meeting, the impor tant one of the year, will be held on the University campus July 14 to 17. Due to a meeting of the ele mentary school principals July 6 to 17, it was thought that the cam pus might be too crowded. Arrangements are now being made to see if it will be possible to obtain enough housing room for the synod group. Dr. Caswell be lieves that everything w’ill be straightened out, and Dr. D. E. Clark, director of the Eugene sum mer session will go to Portland Friday to report on the feasibility. 'under the direction of John Stark Evans tonight at Corvallis. ’Those going are Earl M. Pallett. E. S. Tuttle, John L. Casteel, C. F. Constance, and Glenn Griffith. This program is to be given at the gymnasium on the Oregon State campus, and is sponsored by the Corvallis Lions club and the A3D3C. Frosh Defeat Riggs Quintet Again 54-34 Johansen, Gale, And Bob Anet Again Lead Yearlings io Lop-Sided Victory The University of Oregon's high scoring Frosh basketball team went on another scoring spree last night and defeated the strong Riggs' All-stars by a 54 to 34 score. The All-stars presented a lineup strengthened by the addition of Jack Stafford and Darrell Miller, stars for the freshman team last year, but John Warren's squad packed too much power and had the game under command from the outset to the final gun. The yearlings held a 24 to 19 lead at the half. Laddie Gale, lanky pivot ace, again was the leading scorer for the Frosh with 14 points. He was closely followed by Johansen and Phelps with 10 each. Bob Anet played his usual steady game at guard and was the driving force of the team. Wilson Siegmund starred for the losers with 9 counters. Lineups: Frosh (54) All-stars (34) Johansen, 10 ....F..W.

Rifle Squad Begins Work Barracks-Moving Delays Practice With prospects dimmed by an enforced one-month lay-off due to the moving of the barracks, the ROTC rifle team will finally begin practice at 8:30 today, it was re ported by Sergeant Harvey Biythe, coach. Although the team last year took first place in the Hearst na tional five-man team competition and won all except two of its postal matches, Sergeant Blythe has no such hopes for the squad this year. Veterans Back “It seems impossible to expect much from the team,’’ Blythe moaned. “We have lost an entire month of practice. However, we won’t lose all of our matches.” Two veterans, Ken BeLieu and Bernard Cross, both members of the first-place five-man team, will reinforce the squad. BeLieu will act as captain, Blythe said. Others who have had some time under fire are Bjork, Olsen, Jacobson, Niekcl sen, and Lew. Twenty-four freshmen, the best shots out of the basic military course, have been requested to turn out for the team. Some that have shown skill in the preliminary testing last term are Robbins, End icott, Inskeep, and Le Fcbvrc. Competition to Begin Postal competition is scheduled to begin February 3. With less than one week of practice behind them, the Oregon sharpshooters may have some difficulty. Blythe hopes to get the team into shape as soon as possible. Those on the squad may shoot any time from 8:30 to 12:00 in the morning and from 1:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. If the Oregon team is able to maintain its entire postal schedule it will shoot against 23 schools in the next month. The coach has also made plans to enter a 10-man team in the national ROTC competition, and two five-man teams in the Hearst trophy meet. Oxford Movement Discussion Topic Helen Gsland will lead the second discussion in a series on modern religious leaders and relig ious movements, at the meeting of the Westminster study club to night at 8:30 at the Westminster house on Kincaid. Miss Osland, who is a sophomore in business administration, will speak on “Buchanism and the new Oxford group movement.” In this same group discussion Beverley Caverhill previously spoke on the religious conditions of nationalistic Germany. Other discussions will include such topics as Swedenborgianism, Dari Barth, and the religious treads m America.

Each day Wendell Wyatt, the curious one, through the sports page of the Oregon Em erald will bring these Snap Shots to readers. The distinction of being all Brooklyn guard and captain of his Erasmus hall divisional champion ship basketball squad for two straight years belongs to Oregon's long shot ace, Sam Liebowitz. “Rubinoff,” as followers of the University of Washington quintet have christened him, was born in New York City and still makes his home there. T h e big six-foot, 180-pound sharp-shooter entered Oregon in 1934 as a freshman. Before many games had been played by the Ducklings that year, Sam had gar nered a regular guard post on the squad. Last year, “Tiger” Liebowitz came along so fast in varsity com petition that Coach Bill Reinhart soon began giving him the starting assignment at one of the guard po sitions. This year, he has started in practically all the Webfoots’ games at either guard or forward. “Oregon or Washington this week-end?” Sam was asked. “Oregon will win both games,” Liebowitz replied quickly with ap parent calm confidence. His rea sons for picking his own team in this all-important series were be cause the Wefoots are in the prop er mental condition and because several faults revealed in last week-end's series have been ironed out. The biggest ambition of Oregon’s Bronx bomber is to play on an Oregon team which will mop up Oregon State at Corvallis. Not since before Sam enrolled at Ore gon has a Webloot five accom plished this feat. Student Union (Continued from pa
