Beavers Trounce Fighting Ducks 35 to 29 Palmberg is High Scorer For Winners Lewis, Liebowitz, Silver Are Main Support for Webfoots Wally Palmberg and his cham pionship seeking Oregon State team mates grabbed an early lead and held it throughout to trounce a fighting University of Oregon basketball team at Corvallis last night, 35 to 29. Palmberg piled up 14 points, bringing his scoring total very close to Bobby Galer’s all-time northern division mark, and the Beavers assumed a position only one full game behind Washington in the northern division race. Ore gon State can now clinch the title by winning both games from the Huskies at Seattle next week. Palmberg has piled up 151 points in 14 games and needs but 16 in his remaining two contests to crack Galer’s mark of 176. Lewis Leads Attack The Webfoots put up a hard fight but after the first ten min utes of the first half never dan gerously threatened to overcome Oregon State’s lead. Johnny Lew is, a surprise starter at guard, led Oregon’s attack with four field goals. Tight checking dominated the opening minutes of the initial pe riod and it wasn't until after al most three minutes of play that elongated Cliff Folen of the Bea vers broke the scoring ice with a foul shot. Lewis immediately snatched Liebowitz’ pass and chucked in the first of his quartet of buckets to send Oregon into a 2-to-l lead. Conkling Knots Count Earl Conkling countered for the Staters with a foul shot, knotting the tally sheet, and then Liebow itz sent a howitzer spinning through the netting to give Oregon its final advantage of the evening, 4 to 2. Folen poked in a pivot shot, and the inimitable Palmberg posted his first point of the, fray with a foul shot. Bergstrom and Conkling added gift tosses and the charges of Slats Gill hugged a 7-to-4 lead. Palmberg Goes Wild Silver’s close-in bucket closed it to one point, but the Beavers boomed back with Palmberg at the switch and raced the count to 12 to 6. After Tuttle holed a foul shot, the brilliant Astorian passed to Folen, who tipped in a beauty, and then followed immediately by tak ing Substitute Art Merryman’s pass and flipping it through the hoop for his first field basket. Rollie Rourke hit one for the Webfoots, but Palmberg went crazy to pour in two free throws and a brilliant dribble-in one-hand er from the foul line to pull the Staters into a 16-to-ll lead. Lewis’ second field goal was sandwiched in between. Folen took Berg strom's bounce pass and holed it to make it 18 to 11, and Chief Mc Lean cut the Oregon State edge to five points, 18 to 13, with a long field goal just before the half. Wally Scores Again Palmberg ran completely ber serk at the start of the final ses sion and. aided by four ball-hawk ing mates, raced the lead to an in surmountable 14 points, 29 to 15, before.the bewildered Ducks con nected for a field goal. Budd Jones hit one then, but the score-crazy Palmberg dribbled the length of the court for his fifth floor basket and then sank his sixth and final with a quick flip from the side line. It was 33 to 18 with seven min utes left and Oregon was definite ly out of the running. Lewis arched home two long ones before the end, however, and Ray Jewell and Lie bowitz added one apiece to make the final count respectable. Liehy, Folen Quarrel The game, played before a ca pacity throng of screaming parti san spectators, was rough and bit ter. A free-for-all was in the mak ing in the final moments when Po Sport BILL BE VAN, EX-DUCIv AND MINNESOTA GIUD PLAYER IS MARRIED HERE AND THERE IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS WITH PROF. TOM McCALL ❖ Quacks By TOM McCALL Students, the class this morning will deal with a lot of nothing and a little of everything . . . BILL BEVAN, the All-American guard who was Oregon's loss and Minn esota’s gain, announced his engage ment not so long ago. Bevan is now assistant football coach at Iowa State Teachers college . . . “BEN EASTMAN, America's greatest half and quarter miler, will win both the 400 and 800 meter runs in Berlin, this year,” and the man that says that is none other than Eastman’s old track tutor, COACH DICK TEMPLETON of Stanford . . . If jockeys are not a super stitious lot, they should be. A couple of weeks ago, FRANKIE SPEARS, 17 year old apprentice, accidentally tipped his picture against the figure of a horse and rider on his bureau top. The pic ture broke. The shattered glass was significant to Frankie’s moth er, and she begged him not to ride that day. The lad overruled hi parent’s objection. He went down to death a few hours later when he tried to put his pony through six inches of daylight at the rail . . . JACK MEDICA will be back at his old record snapping tactics when the University of Washing ton swimming team meets the Ducks at the Woman's pool this afternoon. The dual competition will afford Oregon students one of the rare chances that they will have to see MIKE HOYMAN’S sterling performers go through their paces ...BOB E G G E , Washington’s close checking floor master, will undoubtedly have the none-too-pleasant assignment of trying to keep WALLY PALM BERG from breaking BROTHER GALER’S Northwest scoring rec ord. The firing Finn from Astoria needed but 10 points a game before he headed into last night’s contest, to hang up a new mark. In the previous Beaver - Husky series, PALMBERG scored 15 points in the first game and 9 in the second . . . STRANGLER LEWIS, in 27 years at the wrestling game, has grunted and strained through 6000 matches in 50 countries located on five continents. Since he was 18, STRANGLER has aver aged four “strangles” a week, year len fell over Liebowitz and Lieby came up swinging. A double foul was called and both players de parted for the showers. Following the seemingly super human Palmberg in the scoring column for the triumphant Beavers was Folen, who rang up nine points on four field baskets and a free throw. Dave Silver, who canned four foul throws and a field goal, had six to rank second to Lewis for Oregon. Liebowitz had five points. Summary ^ Oregon (29) FG FT PF TP Liebowitz, f .2 14 5 B.

Charles G. Howard, law school professor, refereed the struggle. The game was close all the way, but the third year team went into a 4 to 3 lead on a protested basket by Orville Wilson just at the half time and was never headed. Trail ing 7 to 0 with just a minute to go, the second year team missed a chance to tie the game when the players became excited and missed an easy cripple shot. After the game the second year i team announced that they were considering protesting the playing of Gordon Campbell on the third year team and Wilson’s first bas ket. It was claimed that Campbell is as much a second year student as a third year one. It was also claimed that Wilson’s basket was claimed after the first half was was finished, but no official timer could be found to decide the ques tion and the referee allowed the basket. Wilson was high point man with two baskets for four points. Robert Anderson, second year student, was runner up with one basket and a free throw.

Kampus Krier By Howard Overback “Next Time We Love” which opens at the Heilig Sunday, is the portrayal of a women’s emotional life. Margaret Sullavan, star of the Universial production, contributes a performance which adds further proof that belongs in the front rank of filmdom. Margaret portrays the role of a wife who pursues her stage and screen career, while her husband runs down “big news” in foreign coun tries. Marriage, to the wife, seems to be continually bid ding goodbye and waving hello, until her husband’s friend shows that he loves her. But the friend is a square, decent fellow. The situations are intense with the wife's lonesomeness and the friend’s tender longing. The husband becomes des perately ill and the wife goes to him in Rome. Well, the story continues from here but we'll let you decide for your self. * * * Another one of Harold Lloyd’s hilarious comedies opens at the McDonald Sun day. This feature picture is declared to be so funny that the Mac’s genial manager, Jimmy O-Gonnell, guarantees a laugh a minute. The picture portrays Har old as a timid milkman, al most afraid of his own sha dow, who by chance or mis chance, becomes a prize fight champion. It has been quite some time since Harold Lloyd has appeared in pictures but that is mainly the reason for his continuous popularity. Fewer and better pictures appears to be his motto. * * * The old proverb that you have to spend money to make money appears to be the main idea of Hollywood pro ducers. For the past few years reports have come from Hollywood telling of the money spent in producing lavish productions. For example, not long ago one of the producers hired a well-known song writer from New York to compose some new dj,tties for a musical which was just going into production. This fellow was on the payroll six weeks at $3500 per week during which time he wrote one accepted song. Of course that is small change to us here on the campus but to the poor song writer I bet that $21,000 looked mighty good. • Last week we spoke of the incident of the freshman girl who wanted to know why some darn fool didn't come in and cash the photostatic check which was on the bul letin board in the journalism shack. Saturday we received a call from her, aid she seemed quite peeved because we did not accord her the publicity due her by printing her name.
