Duck Swimmers Leave For South Today Specs, ATOs Grab fB’ Victories; Hall Team Sinks Orioles Sigma Phi Epsilon Quintet Victimizes Sigma Nu, 29 to 3, Sigma Hall Defeated A rampaging Sigma Phi Epsi lon quintet laid down a 29 to 3 scqring barrage yesterday in de feating Sigma Nu in the opening “B” encounter. After jumping ahead to a 10 to 3 lead in the first half, Sigma Phi blanked the losers during the final two quarters while it added 19 ad ditional points to its side of the score sheet. Seven of the winner's points were earned by sing foul shots. Rex Cooper, SPE pivot man, looped in 10 points for high point man. ATO Wins Final Tilt Alpha Tau Omega forged ahead to an 18 to 3 win over Sigma hail in the final "B” clash of the after noon. The Alpha basketeers secured a flying start in the first half by chalking up a 10 to 1 margin. Both quints took a holiday in the third quarter with the score remaining stationary. Charles Erwin, ATO forward, paced his teammates with eight counters, while Bill Shepherd caged the lone two-point shot for the losers. Lack of a sufficient number of players prevented the first game of the afternoon between Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi from being played. The summary: Sigma Phi “B” (29) Bjork, 4 .F. Berry, 3.F..

Sue Moshberger and Bee Scherzinger, veteran forwards for the hall team, clicked together expertly and man aged to have a monopoly on the ball most of the time. During the game, Bee Scherzinger totaled 23 counters for her team, the highest individual average in the game. Florence Miller was high scorer for the Orioles, making 13. At half time Susan Campbell led with a score of 26-11. Substitutes at the half were Leilani Kroll for Dorothy Hutchins as guard, Jane Thomas for Evelyn Genoves as jumping center, and Betty Cleator for Dorothy Burgess as guard, all Susan Campbell. The Oriole team's only sub stitution was Grace Martin for Margaret Reid in the guard posi tion. In the last quarter Jane Thomas took the place of forward for Sue Moshberger and added six counters for the hall team. Evelyn Genoves went in again as jumping center.

Valentine Boyer, al though not commenting on the val ue of compulsory or optional mili tary training, saw definite value in the ROTC unit. He states in part: “ . . . The object of the ROTC is not to ruthlessly destroy our youth but to prevent them from becoming the cannon fodder which a sentimental nation has always made of them in the past by hurl ing them into battle undisciplined and unprepared.” The heads of Arkansas univer sity, Boston university, Johns Hop kins, Knox college, New York uni versity, Stanford, and University of Washington expressed satisfac tion in the optional set-up. Most of these universities have the ROTC on a voluntary basis. Chief arguments of the educa tional leaders were that the ROTC was of value to students in civil life and that their units did not encourage militaristic attitudes.

Dncks Look To Cougar Series Here Grenadiers Stung By Crushing Defeat At Hands of Staters; Will Play Monday Smarting from the worst crush ing ever dealt an Oregon team by an aggregation from Oregon State, the thoroughly chastened Webfoot Grenadiers yesterday began to do the only thing there is to do point for the future. The coming week is one of no games for the Ducks but not one of rest. Howard Hobson drove the lads through a hard scrimmage yesterday and indications are that similar workouts are on the bill of fare for the remainder of the week. Washington State’s Cougars, resting half a game ahead of the fourth-place Webfoots, come here next Monday and Tuesday, and to even stay in the running for third place in the division gonfaldon chase the Grenadiers must capture at least one tilt in the two-game series. The Cougars dropped Idaho twice last week-enU and whizzed past the Ducks in the standings. Oregon's 49-to-23 loss at Corvallis was the fifth consecutive defeat plastered on the Grenadier hoop sters and completely blotted out the last faint ray of hope for a division title. By all precedent the Ducks are entirely out of it now, although a slim mathematical chance remains. Oregon State was decidedly “on” Saturday night and Oregon was just as decidedly “off.” That thor oughly explains the decisiveness of the defeat, but it is doubtful if the Webfoots’ at their best could have given the fire-eating Beaver quin tet that burned up the floor a battle. The Stater's couldn’t miss the bucket. When the Grenadiers threw a cordon of four men around the basket to stop Slats Gill’s tantalizing “work-'em-in” attack, the Beavers stood back and swished the hemp with one howit zer after another. After taking a 4-to-l lead in the opening minute of action, the Ducks were snowed under an avalanche of field goals that saw the count reach 30 to 9 half-time. After that it wasn’t a ball game at all. Wally Palmberg flitted here, there, and everywhere, and thor oughly demoralized the sinking Webfoots with a 15-point barrage that put him in position to chal lenge the all-time division scoring record of Bobby Galer. Palmberg was by far the outstanding man on the floor. Oregon State plays here Febru ary 22, and on February 28 the Ducks go to Corvallis again. Then comes the Inland Empire trip and the end of the season. Summary of Saturday night’s game: Oregon State (49) A FG FT TP Palmberg . 7 Tuttle . Conkling . Bergstrom . Folen . Lyman .

The whole setup would be wrong. Having been born and reared in Honolulu, these two tall, slender, strikingly-dark darls are swim mers of the first rank. Elaine broke the women’s campus record two years ago for the 100-yard free style and backstroke. When asked why the Hawaiian islands produce so many fast, pow erful swimmers like the Reed boys and themselves, they grinned, “Well, you see over there you learn to swim almost as soon as you can walk and the weather is warm enough to go in every day of the year. You’d almost expect us to begin sprouting fins.’’ Swimming at Waikiki beach is an everyday pastime with them when they are home. But they don’t limit themselves to aquatic sports. When there was an all-star basketball team on the campus two years ago, they both played on it. Bernice is now a guard on the intramural team for Susan Campbell hall, and the dif ficulty of eluding her long arms is well known among- basket-shoot ing opponents. Both girls are members of the master dance honorary, besides playing intramural volleyball and hockey. As though this were n6t enough, they make a first base man- pitcher combination in base ball that is hard to beat. “We play at tennis and horse back riding, too,” said Elaine, “but those are really a couple of stand ing jokes. We practice up to get good and get worse all the time.” With the exception of Olive Lew is, Bernice is probably the best golfer among the girls on the cam pus. In commenting on Miss Lew is’ game, Bernice said, “I’ve only seen her swing a couple of clubs, but they looked like shots that would be hard to match. However, it isn’t saying much when I say that I can probably out-play any other girl here.” Both girls prefer to participate in sports for fun and enter com petitive contests only under pres sure. Sport ❖ OREGON SHOULD TAKE CARE OF ORANGEMEN; VANDALS DUE AGAIN J’REDICTING AVEIiAGE UNDERGOES ILLNESS; BETTER TIMES AHEAD ❖ Quacks By TOM McCALL “It was just a case of one team doing everything right, and anoth er team doing everything wrong.” Those were the words and senti ments of Slats Gill immediately after his big Orange toboggan had coasted over a crushed group of Webfoot basketeers in Corvallis last Saturday. Gill went on to say that his hemp practitioners played their best game of the season in their 49 to 23 victory over Oregon. “If the team can maintain the type of game that it displayed against the Webfoots and in the first half of the Washington game last Tuesday, it is highly possible that we will steal a pair from the Huskies in the coming Seattle series.” Oregon most certainly was the team “that was doing everything wrong.” The whole aggregation, as I the game went on, not only had to ; fight for lost points but for lost confidence. But they did fight, al though life seemed a bag of green apples, with their inaiblity to tickle the hemp, and the tantalization | Bergstrom 2. Totals: Oregon 7, Oregon State 4. Officials: Jimmy Mitchell and Fran!; Iienigea. I that was caused by the animal cries of the blood thirsty riff-raff in the stands. Silver, Howell, Court nry, and Patterson all went out on fouls. They were trying too hard to stop an Oregon State team that was well nigh unstopable. Imag ine players that cheek and ad vance the bull with as little eon tact as do Silver and “Wi e W il lie” being sent from the game on personals. They were desperate and disorganized. Courtney ac cidentally “hacked” Palmberg several times when he was shoot ing but the Asturian was pro pelling his slants with such grace and accuracy that the of ficials didn’t detect a number of the infractions. As for field goals, Oregon couldn’t even hit a buffalo in the seat with a snow shovel.

Hoyman Names Nine Splashers to Take Barnstorming Tour Oregon Favored In First Meet With San Jose State; Cal And Stanford Stiffer “California, here we come!’’ will be the chant of the Oregon swim ming squad when they board the southbound train at noon today. The Duck mermen will meet three of the most formidable swim ming teams on the Pacific coast this week. On the 12th they meet San Jose State, Stanford on the Snap-Shots mitiiimtiiniiMiiiimiiHMiiniiiiiiiiiitintiiniMiiiuiiitiiiiMiiiHiMitnimitiHiiiiiiimMim MiiiiMiiiiiiitiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiiiMtiiiiiMiiiiiiiuttiniiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiHiitl By Wendell Wyatt August 2, 1914, the day that the world war started and the day that Charles Ivan Patterson, husky negro center on this year's varsity, was born, was a big day all the way around for fighting men. Although Patterson was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, he is a" citizen of the United States, hav ing left the Candian city when he was eight years old. Along with Courtney and McLean, Pat played high school basketball at Eenson I in Portland, and followed his coach, I Howard Hobson, to Southern Ore ! per mnl and then to this Uni versity. •i center ’.v one full year of basketball in high school, but in that year he accomplished what many players could not play ing all during their high school years. He won the 1932 all-city center position in Portland, and received a position as forward on the all-state second team at Salem. At one time during his high school days in Portland, Pat was all-city handball champ in his class. Besides handball, he enjoys golf and tennis a great deal. "Beacuse all five men play ball together, and because they stay in condition and are always ball hawking, I think the Washington Huskies are one of the best teams I’ve ever seen play,” Patterson re marked. To Lose Once “I think they will lose only one game this season, and that will be to Oregon State,” he continued. "Our team isn’t clicking now, but I am sure that the boys will look entirely different in the games from now on.” Chuck probably gets more jump out of his height, six feet two inches, than any other athlete seen at Oregon or in the Northern Divi sion for some time. Because of this valuable ability, Pat usually gets his share of tip-offs and does yeo man duty in recovering the ball from the backboard. Business holds an attraction for this leading Portland prep scorer in 1932. He changed his major from P. E. to busines administra tion this term. THE biteless blend you’ll you* ffvcesru/ 14th, and California on the follow ing day. Oregon Underdog “Oregon will be a favorite over San Jose State, but we will be the underdog against both the Califor nia and Stanford Swimmers,’’ pre dicts Mike Hoyman, swimming coach. “Oregon may lose, because we lack a large squad, but we won't lose to either California or Stanford by much,” declared Hoy man. The Duck swimmers held an in tra-squad meet in Gerlinger pool Saturday to loosen up for the Cal ifornia jaunt. The times were rather heavy for all events as the swimmers kept under wraps. Meets Due Here, Win or lose, the southern trip will toughen the Oregon squad up for the fierce competition that they will encounter in the Northwest this season. The Oregon swim mers will play host to Washington in a meet Scheduled for the last of February. On April 4, the north west division of the Pacific coast conference swimming meet will be held in Gerlinger pool. Coach Hoyman named the fol lowing swimmers for the southern trip: Jim Reed, Chuck Reed, Verne Huffman, Leonard Scroggins, Clark Thomsen, Forrest Kerby, Bob Chil ton, Harold Sexton and Jim Hurd. Bill Keagy, student manager, and Cliff Troland, brilliant frosh prospect, will accompany the team. Miss Hide, John Toly Arc Married Evelyn M. Elde, ex-’36, and John Francis Toly were married in Se attle January 9. Mrs. Toly is a member of Delta Gamma sorority. The couple will live in Seattle.
