Huskies Coming!
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

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.

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.

Editor’s note: Tins is the first
of :i series of interesting person
al glimpses of the 1936 Grena
diers. 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

Union Non-Political
In an attempt to broaden the

students not previously active in
progressive campus action will
probably take a leading part in
the new organization. The union is
non-political, and representative of
diverse philosophies of action, aim

which there is general approval.
Tonight's meeting will welcome

Huskies and
Ducks Radiate
Confidence
Rivals Gir<l for Big
Battles Here Friday
And Saturday; Wagner
To Guard Ward Howell
The big bad Huskies of Wash
ington, perching high atop north
ern division basketball standings,
will bustle into Eugene tomorrow
ready to wrap up the title and ship
it prepaid to Seattle.
The Huskies are planning to
take both games from Oregon’s
third-place Grenadiers Friday and
Saturday, and if they do Uncle Hec
Edmundson can start making ar
rangements for a tourney to sunny
California and the inter-division
play-off.
Wagner at Guard
Proof that the Washington bad
men expect to sew it all up this
weekend is furnished by a dispatch
from Seattle to the effect that
Chuc k Wagner, formerly the
Huskies’ forward successor to
Bobby Galer, will be kept at guard
in the coming series for the express
purpose of stopping Oregon’s 6
foot, 6-inch Ward Howell,
Wagner limited the mighty
Wardlow to four field goals in the
two tilts in the northern metropolis
last week, and Uncle Hec and his
hearties think halting Howell
means stopping Oregon. It did last
week.
Huskies Set Sail
Washington’s traveling squad,
which will set sail for Eugene to
day, was announced yesterday.
Men scheduled to make the all
important trip include Ralph Bis
hop and Pal Rosenberg, centers;
Ed Loverich, Bob McKinstry, Hunt
Paterson, and Jack Gannon, for
wards; and Chuck Wagner, Bob
Egge, Walt Kastner, and Ross
Werner, guards.
Oregon will enter the big strug
gle Friday night with a revamped
lineup. Ken Purdy has the inside
track to start at one of the guard
posts, and Johnny Lewis, Wayne
Scott, and Chief McLean are other
reserves who may crash the open
ing quintet. McLean’s knee injury
is healing rapidly and Hobson has
stated definitely that the Indian
fire-brand will see action during
the series.
Courtney in Suit
Bill Courtney, out l'or three days
with an infected toe, was back in
suit yesterday as the Ducks went
through their final regular work
out before the games. Courtney
and Rollie Rourke alternated at
guard beside Purdy on Hobson’s
first string combination. Howell
was at forward, with Chuck Pat
terson at center. Budd Jones and
Sam Liebowitz changed off at the
other forward berth. Liebowitz has
the call but has been suffering
from a slight cold.

Susan Campbell took Alpha

triumphed over Alpha Phi 22-7 in
the first clashes of the season at
5 p. m. yesterday in the main and
outdoor women’s gyms respective
ly.
The A O Pi girls had a good
team, but Susan's veteran forward,
Sue Moshberger, proved unguard
able, rolling up a count of 21 to
take high-point honors for both
games.
The game was fast with excel
lent ball-handling, the teams being
evenly matched in all respects ex
cept shooting accuracy. High
point forward for Alpha Omicron
Pi was Nina Schmor, a freshman
who made 14 counters.
Staples, Boyd Star
The Alpha Phi-Hendricks game
was slow with both teams unable
to hold on to the ball. The hall
guards, Kay Staples and Barbara
Boyd, were the best players on the
floor, effectively keeping the Al
pha Phis out of shooting range.
High-point player of the game
was Jean Gulovson, making 15
counters for Hendricks. Barbara
Fairhurst took the honors for Al
pha Phi with 5 points.

With six of its players contribu

Sigma Chi five thrashed the Alpha
hal quintet 28-8 in last night’s
opening “B" encounter.
Bob Gridley, center, gained first
place in the scoring melee. A pair
of roving forwards, John Brecken
ridge and Earl Simonsen, were
close competitors for point-gather
ing honors with six counters each.
The two point makers who ven
tured to heave baskets for Alpha
hall were Marion Popescu and
Walter Van Emon who shared their
mates’ offensive burden with a
pair of two point shots.
Spees Bump Hallers
A lanky Sigma Phi Epsilon
quintet overpowered the dimihu
tive hoopsters from Omega hall to
collect a 20 to 8 victory.
The scoring drive of the winners
failed to reach full momentum un
til the second half. Sigma held
a four point lead at the close of
the first period with the score 8
to 4, but garnered 12 points during
the homecoming stretch while
Omega repeated their efforts of
the previous half, adding only four
more.
Chandler Berry for the winners
was the leading point man of the
fray, with a collection of three
field goals and a pair of gift shots.
In a rollicking low score night
cap fracas, Alpha Tau Omega
emerged an 8 to 3 victor over
Kappa Sigma.
The main features of the game
were wild shots, resulting in a
dearth of baskets, with the basket
ball constantly changing hands.
The score of the fray stood 6 to
1 at the finish of the first half
with both teams entering into the
spirit of missed shots, fumbled
passes, and a resultant lack of
baskets in the final period.
