Heavyweight Crown Won by Del Bjork; Kappa Sigs Place 8 Wrestlers Cop Titles In Intramural Finals; Fast Bouts Feature Tourney Finale Eight intramural wrestlers won championships in their divisions to wind up grunt and groan activi ties on the Oregon campus in last night’s tournament at the men’s gym Mat artists winning the cov eted crowns were: 118 pounds, Dalton, Kappa Sigma (uncontested). 126 pounds, Hoskins, Alpha Tau Omega (uncontested). 135 pounds, Francis, Phi Gamma Delta. 145 pounds, Johnson, Phi Sig ma Kappa. 155 pounds, Mansell, Yeomen. 165 pounds, Owen, Indepen dent. 175 pounds, Reischman, Kap pa Sigma. Heavyweight, Bjork, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Del Bjork, Webfoot football star, experienced some trouble copping a hair-line decision from Vernon Pomeroy, Kappa Sig flash, in the heavyweight class. Constant slap ping and eye-gouging marked the action of this bout. Bjork Hard Pressed Near flying tackles and hard shoulder butts caused the ring posts to nearly come down on more than one occasion in this hectic scrap. On one occasion Bjork slapped Pomeroy so hard that he went flying out of the ring. Pom eroy, however, was the best oppo sition for Bjork during the current tournament. At one time last night Pomeroy came within a» sec ond of pinning the SPE man and it was only through some super human squirming that Bjork saved himself. Bjork won the bout on a decision. Elton Owen, independent, wres tling in the 165-pound division, scored an easy win over Olbekson, Kappa Sig mat artist, in 4 minutes and 45 seconds. Owen spent most of the time on Olbekson’s back, de spite frantic efforts to dislodge him. Owen won with a skillful body press. Mansell Throws Valentine Two Yeomen, Valentine and Mansell, were the sole contestants in the 155-pound final clash. To ward the middle of this bout Val entine enraged his opponent so much that Mansell put on more pressure and easily won the m&tch with a body press. Valentine tried hard to fight his way out. Reischman, Kappa Sig strong boy, tied Devers, Phi Delt ace, into such a knot that it took practical ly a minute to untangle them. Reischman clamped on a body press after 1 minute and 30 sec onds of wrestling to win. Johnson Drops Keyes Johnson, Phi Sig mat man, scored a thrilling victory over Keyes, Kappa Sig, in the 145 pound class. After each had buffeted the other around the ring for two min utes, Johnson clamped on a locked body press which stopped Keyes. Francis, of Phi Gamma Delta, and Mountain, Yeoman star, wres tled two over-time rounds in the 135-pound division. Francis final ly emerged the winner. An exhibition bout between Dal ton, 118 pounds, and Hoskins, 126 pounds, was won by Dalton after three minutes of wrestling.

Phone 14ij a 1047 Willamette Street 1 Ducks Point For Third OSC Game Grenadier Performance O utst amling Agai n s t Beavers Howard Hobson’s University of Oregon basketball team, which demonstrated its best form since early season in Saturday night’s thriller with Oregon State, began pointing yesterday toward a return tussle with the Beavers at Corval lis Friday night. The Webfoots, who put up a ter rific battle before dropping a 28 to-26 decision to the Staters at the Igloo Saturday, scrimmaged with the frosh yesterday afternoon. Three more days of intensive drill lie before the Grenadier hoopsters before they square off to do or die against Slats Gill’s wrecking crew in the Oregon State men’s gym nasium. Last Game Recalled Oregon looked good in losing Saturday and 3800 spectators left McArthur court firmly convinced that the Ducks had the stuff of which champions are made after all. The heart-breaking loss shoved the lads into a tie for fourth with Washington State. Each team has four wins and seven losses. All of Sammy Liebowitzs bril liant checking couldn’t control Ore gon State’s magnificent Wally Palmberg, and the unguardable Astorian flipped four left-handed field goals into the net and added a pair of free throws to gain ex actly the 10 points necessary to keep him on the trail of Bobby Galer’s all-time northern division scoring record. Palmberg now has 137 points and needs an average of 10 per game to beat Galer’s mark of 176, set two years ago. Silver Outstanding Big Dave Silver was Oregon’s leading scorer Saturday night and played an outstanding floor game in addition. All of the remaining four starters — Rollie Rourke, Chuck Patterson, Budd Jones, and Liebowitz—played stellar ball and aided materially in the attack and defense that came within an ace of sending old man dope to the morgue. After rallying to take a 22-to-21 lead midway through the second half, the Ducks slipped behind as big Cilff Folen swjshed the hemp twice in succession. "They never caught up, but with two minutes to go a beautiful dash under the basket by substitute Ken Purdy, w-ho snatched a pass from Liebo witz and plunked it in, cut the Staters’ advantage to one lonely point. Palmberg was fouled and holed a charity toss, making it 28 to 26, with slightly more than 30 seconds to go. The Webfoots had several chances to score in that brief time, but hurried shots rolled off the rim Parsons Investigates Land Study Progress Dr. P. A.

JOE GORDON, RAY KOCH TO PLAY PRO BASEBALL • FOR OAKLAND ACORNS NEW YORK YANKEES FARM OUT EX-OREGON DIAMOND PERFORMERS • By TOM McCALL Joe Gordon and Hay Koch, the great shortstop and second base man of the University of Oregon’s northwest championship nines of 1934 and 1935, are to report to the Oakland Acorns, March 2. For a month thereafter both men will be under the watchful eye of the Acorn’s spring training camp boss, Bill Meyers, ex-big leaguer, and either Bill Essick or Joe Devine, New York Yankee scouts. If Gor don and Koch show the right amount of ability around the short spot and the pivot bag, they will be retained by Oakland, but if an exhibition of good baseball is not forthcoming the lads will be shipped to Binghamton in the New York-Pennsyivania circuit. Chances that Gordon will stay in the Coast league are better than fair. Of the last year's Oakland infield of Hawkins, Molesworth, Muller, and Anton, only Anton re mains. No one has been signed for the other three infield positions, and Meyers is planning to fill the holes with the best of the 10 rook ies that are reporting for infield tryouts this March. Koch, although a tremendous hitter, will have a harder time making the grade than will Gor don, because he’s not the ball-hawk that his running mate is. He hasn’t touched the °horsehide all winter,' whereas Gordon has been playing constantly under the sunny skies “of California. Joe-Joe, or “Hollywood,” as he was dubbed for his prosperous ap pearance when he visited Eugene the other day, made the Southern California nine and beat out the i captain. The Trojans were playing- three games a week in their pre-confer ence schedule, and their new short stop hammered in a good many runs, before it was disclosed that he was not even enrolled at S. t’. and that he did not intend to ever attend that institution, t'onse ipiently, the captain no longer was allowed to languish on the bench, and (Jordon went his way in peace. The New York Yankees took a special liking to Oregon's Gordon and Koch when Bill Essick went on the road trip with the Ducks last spring. Both of them are still the Yanks’ property as the Oaks and Binghamton are New York farms. When asked what they were planning to do next fall, Joe-Joe stated that he was coming back to Eugene to finish up his school work, find Koch blushed and hinted at the tinkling of wedding bells. * * * Another ex-Webfoot who has ap peared in the news of late is Bob Ciarretson who did a good bit of left-handed first-basing for the Erosh about three years ago. For the past two years he has been seeing par.t time service on the Portland Beavers’ initial sack, but Gordon tells me that Lefty has been sent to Nashville in the speedy southern league. The Beavers thought that he was so good that they kept strings on him, and= he is subject to recall to the Portland club at any time. Bold Blasts of Barristers Fail To Arrange Hoop Games -. . — and rolled the fighting charges of “Hobbie” Hobson into defeat. The contest was every bit as close as the one at the Igloo in early Januray when the Ducks were favored by fate and took the two-point victory and with it the conference leadership. With all hope for even second place now gone, Oregon is certain to give all opponents a bitter fight in remain ing games, observers believe. The players showed all of their early season form and fight "Saturday and are sure to give Oregon State,, Washington State, and Idaho all they ask in the five remaining starts.

ELLA C. MEADE OPTOMETRIST Plione 3ai) 11 West Stli M HKfl Law students hurled legal phrases*and choice epithets at each other yesterday via challenges and counter-challenges posted on their bulletin boards, presumably ar ranging a basketball game. The extra - plebians (third-year stu dents) accepted the challenge of the second-year class, on condition that “^n official of unmitigated fairness, of unquestioned integrity, of undeniable competency, and of sterling worth” be selected by the faculty to referee. The juveniles (first-year stu dents) injected themselves “into the maelstrom of athletic encount er” yesterday with a blanket chal lenge to both other classes. A few remarks of derogation and the youngsters launched into1 a list of would-be stars. “It is needless to mention such outstanding stars as ‘Beanpole’ Wheelock, ‘Tarzan’ King, ‘Champ’ Milliagn, ‘Flash Gordon’ Galton, ‘Bull-Dozer’ Mclnturff, ‘Slippery’ Silvan, ‘Apollo’ Thomas, ‘Kev-Hole’ McCready, ‘Bullet’ Newlands, ‘Cap ering’ Cohen, 'Twinkle-Toes’ Mil ler, and ‘Cream-Puff’ Greenough,” the challenge read.

Early in the second half, Bob Rissman, lanky Rook center, and George Kuvallls, sharp-shooting forward, started hitting for the Orange five and increased their team’s lead to 33-21 before the Ducklings finally found their shooting eyes. Holley Leads Rally At this point Bob Anet and Laddie Gale were ejected from the game with four personal fouls but Leonard Heller and Wally Johan sen put on an exhibition of how forwards should score and let the frosh in a sizzling display of baskets that ended with a four point victory. Rissman and Kuvallis led all scorers for the day with 12 count ers each. Scoring for the winners was well divided with Gale leading the attack with nine but closely followed by Heller with eight and Anet and Johansen with seven apiece. Ducklings Take Series The Ducklings completed their series with the Rooks with three wins against a lone defeat in an overtime game. The Warrenites, with 18 victories' chalked up for the season against a single loss, will close their season tonight against Salem high at McArthur court.

The league-leading Huskies’ bitter battle could not staunch the flow of Cougar shots in a raging extra period. The victory gives Oregon State a good mathematical chance to win the northwest title, and even gives the Washington Staters a ray of hope. The Huskies swallowed another bitter pill last Friday when the cellar-dwelling Idaho Vandals defeated them after 10 straight league victories.

Grange Opposes Two Presidents Pomona Group Declares ‘Too Much Overhead’ In Higher Learning After a heated discussion, the Lane county Pomona grange in its meeting Saturday passed two reso lutions affecting institutions of higher education in Oregon. The first resolution was in op position to the present plan of hav ing a president for both the Uni versity and the state college and also a chancellor acting as general supervisor. The grange voted that the present plan creates' “too much overhead” and that either one chancellor should supervise the two schools or two presidents and no chancellor. Members of the grange felt that too much money is being spent by the state for “high executive posi tions.” The second resolution was in op position to the present plan of con ducting military training on a compulsory basis. The meeting was held in con junction with the Elmira grange and about 200 persons were in at tendance. Me®aieH0isMasiaias®aiaiaiaE®aE5!

Hobson's warning two weeks igo was heeded by most members of the team, he said, but he made it clear that for those who did not respond there was no place on the squad. Howell has gone home to Ashland on the coach's recom mendation. Hobson said his col lege career is probably permanent ly over. Howell started last fall as a regular center on the Grenadier squad, but has been used less fre quently in recent games, seldom breaking into the starting line-up. Although the tall pivotman has been considered an outstanding man on the Oregon squad, Hobson says his loss will not seriously im pair the Duck's chances for the rest of the season. "The boys have got to under stand," Hobson declared, “that no player, no matter how valuable he may be, can expect to play on an Oregon team if he fails to attend classes and keep his grades up. I have warned the squad that they must keep up their scholastic aver age. Howell is the only one who has failed to do this, and I feel that he has done the right thing by withdrawing." Stanford Exams Set for March 7, March 7 has been set as the date for applicants to take the Stanford entrance exams. Dr. Howard R. Taylor, head of the psychology de partment, will give the tests in room 302 Condon at that time. All students who wish to enter Stan ford, Mills, or Redmond universi ties should take the test at that time. On March 28, Dr. Taylor will go to Portland to give the Stanford tests there.
