Out of the Race Is the Oregon team out of the running for the Northern Division title? Get the latest dope on the forthcoming Oregon-Beaver contest in today's Emerald. CHARLES PADDOCK Sports Editor UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1936 Wrestling Intramural wrestling matches will begin soon. Watch for the first scheduled bouts of this bone-bend!ng sport. Donut "rasslin" isn't as tough as the professional game, BEAVERS ARE MAIN OBSTACLE IN FRONT • OF WILD HUSKIES CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS TURN ATTENTION TO BASEBALL, FOOTBALL • By WENDELL WYATT Quacks Sport It's up to the Beavers. If they can’t stop the rampaging Huskies, nothing short of a miracle will pre vent Hec Edmundson from hang ing up another Northern Division pelt in his woodshed. Last night's violent 51-33 slaughter would indicate that even the Corvallis hoys’ deliberate break couldn't slow up the north erners. The 51 points is incidentally the most scoring by far that the Huskies have done in league play this season. The 18 point margin of defeat probably won't mean a thing to “Slats” Gill, however. It will be just another loss, and there’s no telling what kind of a surprise he may spring to trap the Huskies in the three remaining tilts. Also the Seattle team has the much feared inland empire trip to take yet. Washington State and Idaho are capable of putting up un believable resistance on their home courts. * * * Bi^ Dave Silver, who scored nine points against Washington Satur day night in the first conference game he has started, was deadly on his southpaw casts at the hoop. Should Silver develop anywhere near the accuracy with his right fist that he has with hs left, he should be practically unstoppable when he’s within calling distance of the basket. “My 1936 team is the best TEAM that I've ever had.” So quoth father Hec Edmundson, af ter watching his warriors mow down a desperately fighting band of Webfeet to snatch a clean sweep in the four game series. “There’s no consistent outstand ing individual on this year’s club,” Edmundson continued. “These boys work together bet ter and pass the ball around snap pier than any other squad I’ve coached.” passing, not dribbling seems to be the way the northern giants work the ball down the floor and eventually into the hoop, Edmund son indicated. Neither of the Eugene games be tween the Huskies and the Ducks was as good as the Seattle series, in Edmundson's opinion—this in spite of the close score and deter mined fight shown by Oregon in the final contest. Before leaving Eugene for the Corvallis series, members of the Washington squad made known their goal from now on—going through the remainder of their schedule without a defeat. Ed mundson would not commit him self regarding this possibility, but from his attitude, it was quite evident that he didn’t consider Oregon State much more than a slight block between his quintet and the top position. * * # Big Chuck Wagner, gangling tousle-headed guard on the Husky five, and one of the most consistent scorers for Edmundson’s team, re marked to the writer that he didn’t expect the Huskies’ remaining games to be presented to them be fore actual game time. “They’re all tough,” he said in his good natured way. “We have to get in and fight all the way if we want to win games.” Wagner is one boy that should know. e * s Little wonder that California schools have superior football and baseball squads. In a recent news dispatch from the University of Southern California, it was men tioned that one of the Trojan coaches was turning his attention from assisting in football practice to coaching baseball infielders. The pitchers and catchers had already been out for some time, but the neglected infielders had had no V BEFORE AFTER Kampus Barber Shop Across fi'oiu Sikiaa (,3ii Today’s Sports DONUT BASKETBALL-” 4:00 p. in.—Sigma Nu “A” vs. Phi Kappa Psi “A.” 4:40 p. in.—Sigma Phi Ep silon “A” vs. Chi Psi “A.” 5:20 p. m.—Alpha Tau Omega “A” vs. Gamma hall “A.” WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 4:00 p. ni.—Susan Campbell vs. Chi Omega. 4:30 p. m.—Alpha Phi vs. Gamma Phi. 5:00 p. m.—Alpha Delta Pi vs. Kappa Kappa Gamma; Alpha Chi Omega vs. Delta Gamma.

M—SL.-kh Ducks Begin Pointing For Oregon State Double Loss to Husky Horde Drops Oregon Grenadiers Below .500 Mark; New Five Clicks The University of Washington's championship - bound basketeers have come and gone and in their wake left a trail of destruction. Pushing aside unhappy thoughts of I the Husky series, Howard Hobson I and his Oregon Grenadiers are pre paring to drub the Beavers of Ore gon State at Corvallis Saturday. The Huskies’ double triumph here Friday and Saturday dropped the Webfoots below the .500 mark in northern division standings, with three games won and four lost, but the season is young yet and Oregon is not definitely out. of the title race. After the Oregon State game this week-end the Grenadiers draw a week’s rest, and in that time they will have oppor tunity to fully prepare for the final half of a tough schedule. Yester day afternoon they scrimmaged with the frosh. New Quintet Clicks A suprise combination composed of Rollie Rourke and Sam Liebow itz at forwards, Dave Silver at center, and Budd Jones and Johnny Lewis at the guard posts played Washington on even terms in the final of the four-game competition Saturday and with a little luck at the right time would have halted the Husky. The fighting Webfoots, not in the least awed by an early 8-to-2 Washington lead, went to work and climbed to within a point of the ferocious malamutes late in the first half, only to fall behind by intermission time, 21 to 16. Back boomed the Ducks in the final half, and the Huskies had a terrible scare before pulling out. Once the Grenadiers, led by the left handed Silver, cut a 10-point Washington margin to three points, in the end they couldn’t quite turn the trick. Five Men Scintillate Every member of Saturday’s five starred in the bitter struggle. Liebowitz was the ball hawk of old; Silver monopolized the sphere at the backboards, snatching it time and again from the out stretched arms of big Ralph Bishop and the other Husky hot-shots; Budd Jones was an inspiration on defense and his steadiness on of fense was a vital factor in the combination’s success; Rourke handled the ball well and hit the hemp when points were needed; and Johnny Lewis played an out standing floor and defensive game. The Huskies were missing shots Saturday. Probably they deserved to win. The brand-new Duck five proved that Edmundson’s crew is beatable, however, and also re stored confidence to a shaken Ore gon squad.

She swam on the Multnomah club team whde in high school, taking the 100-yard free style in 1932. She specializes in the crawl and free style. Likes Golf Best “But if I had to choose betw-een swimming and golf, I think I’d take the latter,” confessed Ollie, who is fairly bristling with medals and trophies in that field. She won her first award in 1930 when she was runner-up in the first flight of junior Oregon golf ers. In 1931 she was junior Oregon the state championship in 1932, she played Mrs. Rose Eva. “She beat me, but it was a lot of fun,” Olive continued. Plays for Grant For two years while she was go ing to Grant high school In Port land she held the school champion ship, losing it to Dorothy Sellars in 1934. “At that time A1 Zimmer man was coaching me and I played an eight-handicap game, but I've practiced so little this last year that I probably couldn’t do it now,” she said. "It always surprises me when X win,” she smiled. “I get a real thrill out of playing, but I don't play to win. I want to keep my playing on the amateur basis, as it always has been, and to have it for recreation and relaxation, but we'll just have to wait and see .if I it turns out that way," concluded Olive. Ducklings Win From Astoria And Tillamook Warren's Yearlings Return From Triumphs On Coast; Will Play Eugene High Tomorrow Home from a successful week end trip in which they defeated the strong high school quintets of Astoria and Tillamook, Oregon’s fighting freshmen have begun pre paring for Eugene high tomorrow night and the OSC Kooks Friday. The Eugene five will be played on the high school floor and the Rooks will be met at McArthur court. Coach Warren's lanky squad ran into some stiff competition at As toria but superior man power brought home a 39-to-26 victory. Gale Fouts and Laddie Gale led the Warrenites’ scoring spree with 14 and 13 points respectively while Sarpola and Kokko were high for Astoria with 8 each. “Hank” Nil sen, rugged Frosh guard, did a nice bit of checking against Asto ria's flash, Sarpola, and garnered four points for himself. Frosh linn Wild The Frosh had a brisk session of shooting practice at Tillamook and ended up on the long end of a 43 to 16 score. All of the Frosh play ers had a hand in the scoring with Bob Anet leading the way with eight points. Moore was high for the Cheesemakers with six. To date the freshmen have won ten out of eleven games. Their only defeat—a 37 to 35 loss to the Orange Rooks—was later avenged by a decisive victory. They have scored 484 points for an average of 44 per game against 315 for the opposition, an average of 27 per game. Laddie Gale with 128 points in ten tilts is the leading scorer, with Waliy Johansen in second place with 82 in eleven contests.

Bill's first bid towards real fame came when he was chosen along with the entire Benson high school five in 1932 by Portland sports scribes for the all-city squad that year. Chief McLean and Chuck Patterson were two of the other members of Benson’s team then. Plays Football, Baseball Standing only five feet eight and onc-lialf inches tall, Courtney is verily a midget among giants. Despite his light weight and short stature, Bill earned three letters in football at the polytechnic school, and four in basketball and baseball. Bill was quarterback and halfback on the boilermakers’ eleven. After receiving his junior cer tificate at Southern Oregon while playing football and baseball for Hobson, Courtney decided to enroll at Oregon along with his other teammates. Bob Bergstrom, Oregon State first string guard this year and former Astoria high star, sunk a last minute shot that gave Asto ria a one-point win over Benson at the state tournament in 1932, and endede what was to be “Wee Wil lie’s” most exciting games. with 24.

Weitz, supervisor of intramural sports. Mr. Weitz stated that Alpha Tail Omega has the largest group of grapplers with 22 men, while Kappa Sigma has 19 men enlisted. Several other houses that have as many as five and six men entered. Stressing the small amount of time left to train before the tourn ament starts, Mr. Weitz said, “Wrestlers should commence work ing out immediately. Those wrest lers not taking wrestling as a reg ular PE activity must have at least six workouts, spread out over two weeks, to their credit prior to the tournament.’’ Mr. Weitz also asked that wrestlers weigh in before each workout and record their weights on the chart in the wrestling room. Mr. Weitz will also check attend ance of wrestlers between the hours of four and six each day.

Ed Loverich and Charles Wag ner led the never-ending Husky scoring parade, counting 18 and 16 points respectively. Little Wally Palmberg, clever and consistent forward, led the futile Beaver re sistance with 15 points. He had scored 12 of his team's 18 points at half time. Huskies Lead Last night’s win put the Wash ington quintet far out in front of the northern division race and left it the only undefeated conference five on the coast. Loverich and Wagner, Who teamed at forward for the Huskies, repeatedly eluded the desperate Beavers to sink difficult angle shots or long howitzers. With six minutes left in the con test, both coaches sent in an entire new team. Play was from then on extremely ragged and rough.
