Pi Phi Team Upsets
Kappa Alpha Theta
In Girls Tilt, 21-3
Hendricks Trims Sigma
Kappa, 24 to 2, in
Second Feminine Hoop
Contest; Games Rough
Pi Beta Phi plucked a 21-to-3
victory from Kappa Alpha Theta,
and Hendricks hall trimmed Sigma
Kappa 24-to-2 yesterday, both
games being characterized by
rough playing.
The Thetas threw away their
scoring chances on wild passes
which were largely intercepted by
the fast-moving Phi Phis, who
showed a harmonious teamwork
that kept the ball in their scoring
territory most of the game.
Barbara Weston, Pi Phi forward,
was high-point player with 13
counters. Regan McCoy did all the
Theta scoring.
Goeteh Gets Tip-offs
The Sigma Kappas, playing- their
first game of the season, were un
able to keep up with the haliers,
and Maxine Goeteh, Hendricks hall
jumping center, gave her team
every tip-off the first quarter.
The Sigma Kappas did not cap
italize on their scoring chances
until early in the second half when
June Hurst sank one ball. Al
though they had the ball in their
territory more during the remain
der of the game, they did not suc
ceed in raising the score.
The Hendricks forwards, Louise
Watson and Jean Gulovson, gar
nered 12 points apiece. There were
no substitutions for either team.

CHIEF McLEAN
A regular job catching for a
professional baseball team is the
goal of Clifford “Chief” McLean,
Chief McLean
spc-ody Indian 'for
ward, when he
graduates from
college. He has
had quite a bit of
experience back
of the bat, too,
catching two
years at Benson
high in Portland
and in summer
leagues in Ore
gon.
McLean, who is one of the fast
est men on this year's varsity bas
ketball squad, was once referred
to by the venerable Doctor Spears,
former Oregon grid coach, as the
best floor man he had ever seen.
One series of events in Mac’s life
will always be very vivid to him.
He will always remember playing
with Southern Oregon normal un
der Howard Hobson for two sea
sons and in those seasons, beating
the high-geared Webfoot varsity
six out of eight contests. While
earning two letters in basketball,
the Chief played regular halfback
on Hobson’s SONS football eleven.
Makes Portland All-Stars
For two years while he played
ball at Benson, McLean won all
city honors at forward. In his last
year he was third in individual
scoring in the Portland prep
league.
Wally Falmberg was again
named as the most outstanding
opponent of the Oregon team this
year.
“He has everything you can ask
of a ball player,’’ said Mac regard
ing the Beaver ace. “He has every
thing a basketball player needs. He
is an excellent shot, a good defense
man, and a smooth floor man.”
Chuck Wagner of the championship
bound Huskies received McLean's
vote as next best Oregon opponent
this year.
Liliard Is Best Center
“Joe Liliard is about the best
basketball center I've ever seen,”
declared McLean. Liliard was the
crack negro football and basket
ball player who attended! Oregon
several years ago, only to have to
drop out because of professional
findings submitted by the coast
conference policeman, Jonathan
Butler.

Ducks Grimly
Determined to
Stop Cougars
Oregon Basketeers
Point for Contests
Next Week; McLean
Crashes First Five
An atmosphere of grim deter
mination surrounded McArthur
court yesterday afternoon as How
ard Hobson’s varsity basketeers
continued their intensive prepara
tion for the last half of a confer
ence season which to date has been
disappointing.
The Webfoots, who have dropped
j their last five games in succession,
: are out to win their remaining
eight and make the season a suc
cess. Earnestness has character
ized each workout since the holo
caust at Corvallis Saturday night,
and it is no secret that the Oregon
hoopmen are plotting to annihilate
the Cougars of Washington State
here next Monday and Tuesday.
Team Works on Fundamentals
Monday night the Grenadiers
battled John Warren's classy
frosh outfit in a regulation length
practice game, and last night, with
the yearlings resting for an eve
ning trip to Oakridge, the varsity
lads fought it out among them
selves.
Startling lineup changes are def
initely not on this week’s bill of
fare in the Duck camp. Hobson is
concentrating on the fundamentals
of his fast-breaking style of play,
stressing practice in ball handling,
passing, and speed. Not only was
Oregon’s shooting "off’ in the
Oregon State game, but also the
passing and ball handling were
sloppy.
McLean on First Five
Speed is one of the things Men
tor Hobson wishes more of, and the
answer is that Clifford (Chief)
McLean will probably be in the
lineup that opens the Washington
State tilts. McLean was a light in
the fog in the Beaver massacre,
and he seems definitely in line for
a first string guard berth in fut
ure contests. The Indian firebrand
has speed to burn, handles the ball
well, is a good shot, is one of the
best dribblers in the loop, and can
provide a spark when teammates
lag. At Benson Tech and later at
Southern Oregon Normal McLean
burned up the boards repeatedly,
but a knee injury this winter kept
him out of early competition and
he got off to a slow start.
Teaming with McLean on the
first five in this week’s practice
sessions have been Willie Jones,
Ken Purdy, and Chuck Patterson,
with Ward Howell and Dave Silver
alternating at center. Bill Courtney
has also been used on the quintet.
This combination fits well into fast
breaking plays and apparently has
Hobsons first string call at pres
ent.
Cougars on Way
Yesterday the latest aggregation
of regulars scrimmaged with an
assorted crew of basketball odds
and ends—football players, ineli
gibles, and the like. The opposing
team, which gave the Grenadier
first stringers a hard fight, in
cluded Dale Lasselle, Bobby King,
Slim Wintermute, Bill Harcombe,
and Ray Jewell.
Jack Friel and his Washington
State basket brigade are scheduled
to leave Pullman today for Corval
lis, where on Friday and Saturday
they meet Oregon State. Then they
continue on to Eugene for conflicts
in the Igloo Monday and Tuesday.
At present the Cougars hold third
place in division standings, a notch
in front of Oregon.
Senior Ball

tion of flowers. “We probably
won't go so far as to make girls ;
check corsages,’’ remarked Michek,
“but it just won’t be good taste to
wear them.’’
The corsage barrier evidently
has been made on behalf of male
pocketbooks. “Without flowers,”
runs the directorate’s opinion, “the
cost of the senior ball will not be
as much as the average formal
which necessitates a dollar for the
dance and another dollar for a cor
sage.” Tickets for the ball, be-'
cause of the cost of bringing Hal,
Grayson’s orchestra up from Los
.Angeles, will be ijl.dO.

GALE, JOHANSEN, ANET
FOUND BEST AMONG
THE YEARLING CROP
THE QCACKER STARTS
PICKING ALL-STARS
AGAIN; HAS 3 FROSH
❖ Quacks
By TOM McCALL
A pleasant way to pass a rainy afternoon and at the same time
accomplish the writing of a column without too much labor is to Bei)d
one’s efforts toward picking an all-star team of some sort. Of course
the basketball season is a little too young as yet for the choosing of
Northwest varsity stars, but I think it would be well at this time to
select the best of the first year hoopsters in this section.
* $ *
Because of the gaps that will be left in the ranks of the college
teams of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon by graduation, this year’s
crop of better-than-usual freshmen will fling many a basket for their
alma maters during the ensuing seasons. That is why Ai Stump, sports
editor of the University of Washington Daily picked his favorite frosh
a few days ago. That is why the Quacker follows suit.
Stump’s selection looked like this:
Laddie Gale (Ore.) and Wally Johansen (Ore.) forwards; Bob
Rissman (OSC1 center; George Ziegenfuss (Wash.), and Cassius Dol
quist (WSC) guards.
The Quackers picked the same lineup with the exception of putting
.\net of Oregon in place of Dolquist.
* * $
Does anyone know why these men have been honored? Well, Gale
and his 13 point per game average has taken the fancy of all who have
seen him play until he is now hailed as a second Spook Robertson. He
is big, fast, and a dead eye that handles the ball well. Johansen is an
even six feet of smoothly moving wire. He’s not heavy, but he has speed,
magical floor control, and is a very accurate passer and shot maker.
Ziegenfuss appears to be the best of the Washington Husky pups.
Not overly great in physical stature, he has sparked his mates in
offensive as well as defensive play. Bobby And replaces Dolquist on
the Quacks team because he is the better ball player of the two men.
Anet doesn’t go in much for bucket getting, as does Dolquist with his
63 points in nine games, but he engineers many of the scoring plays
for Gale and Johansen, and his “worrying” tactics cause all opponents
a pile of grief.
Center is the weakest position on the whole hypothetical squad.
Slim Wintermute, Oregon’s young ineligible, is by far the best of this
year’s crop of pivotmen. He scrimmages against the varsity occa
sionally, and all six foot eight of him acts like it knows the game of
basketball, every angle of it. But to repeat, Wintermute is ineligible.
That automatically gives all-star to Rissman who bests Dee Phelps of
Oregon and any northern contenders, because he is steady and a good
shot.

The selections offered represent

Perhaps the most masterfully
presented number was “Polonaise

Booked for Tonight;
Three More Games
Listed for This Week
Laddie Gale, Wally Johansen and
Bobby Anet sparked John Warren's
freshman hoopers to a decisive
tune-up victory over the Oakridgc
preppers last night, 39-9. It turned
out to be a light workout for the
frosh campaigners, who used most
of the string in the practice ses
sion as preparation for strenuous
work next week.
Tonight the yearlings will travel
out to Wendling for a return en
gagement with the Wendling town j
team. With one victory over the
loggers already dangling from
their trophy belt, the freshmen ex
pect to make it another practice
session.
A game with the CCC’s tomor
row night, and Warren’s hoopers
will be off over the mountains for
a pair of games with Medford and
Klamath Falls.
Warren’s stiff training and play
ing schedules are rapidly making
iron men out of the yearlings. Five
games in five nights is this week’s
schedule, and if the former Astoria
high coach’s charges come through
them all without signs of weaken
ing it will indicate that his tech
nique worke well indeed.

game between the Phi Delta and

Amato, especially, played a rug

in the game. Riordan, on the oth

fouls except when he came into

CHOLO JACKETS
iiiiiiMiiiiiiiMiiiiiMiiiiimiiiimiiMiMiiiiiimiiiMiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiitimiiMMimmiiiMiMMiiimi''J
February 5, 1936
Dear Reader:
Are my eye.s popeyed. I've been seeing these
new CHOLO JACKETS a lot lately, and the more
I see of them the better I like them. They’re
just the thing for campus and sports wear . . .
durable, economical (only $1.75), comfortable,
and clean looking. What more need be said,
except perhaps a few words from some of the
boys. If
“Bathtub Eddie” explains his enthusiasm by
saying, "I’m a Phi Delt, and naturally I believe in
cleanliness. Now I’ve washed my CHOLO
JACKET ten times (honest I have) and it hasn’t
lost its size or color yet. And that half zipper,
oh boy.”
The great Doctor Hoblett, a CHOLO enthus
iast, explains its greatest worth. “As you know,
old pal Hearall, I’m perhaps the greatest ball
machine player on the campus, and naturally I
need a great many pockets to carry my slugs
around in. Now my CHOLO JACKET has three
big pockets, and with it on, I’m a cinch.”
Honest fellow. I’m not kidding. They are the
real McCoy. What’s been said about these new
CHOLOS by myself and my worthless friends is
the gospel facts. They’re on sale now at McMor
ran’s. Go down and get one today, and then you'll
know why old H. S3, is always right.
CHOLOng,
Hearall Seeawl.
