❖ Quacks
By CHARLES PADDOCK
A lot of tears have been shed
recently over the fact that if the
Oregon athletic machine doesn't
stumble onto a gold mine some
place, Duck teams will soon be
playing Linfield, Willamette, and
Albany college.
The stunning news never got to
the cerebrum of more than one of
a hundred students. Has anyone
heard anyone say “so what” yet?
That might be a valid comment.
Students from small schools will
appreciate the fact that its not the
size of the opposing institution
that makes athletic competition
worthwhile.
Isn’t it the truth that these very
students at Linfield, Willamette,
and Albany get just as much en
joyment out of their games at Ore
gon students get out of theirs. No
doubt.
» * *
Of course, this business of be
ing in the coast conference is
largely a business proposition.
Good teamg in a big conference
bring the kids to dear old Alma
Mater. And there’s no doubting
the truth of that, either. But,
may one naively ask, what is the
value of an institution which has
to get Its enrollment by this kind
off work?
Certainly it’s being done all
over this land of the free, but
what about such schools as
Reed, which to date has com
pletely overlooked having a foot
ball team. When Oregon boosts
her scholastic standard to that
of Portland's pink heaven, it
might be time to think about
big-time athletics.
* * s]«
There’s something about a home
talent team that builds up that old
school “spirit” in a way that no
amount of rallies or preachy edi
torials can do. If Oregon had teams
made up entirely of students who
were here because they wanted an
education, we wouldn’t be worry
ing so much about the Oregon
“spirit.” It would be here too.
This doen’t mean we would nec
essarily have to close the check
book. That's another matter. At
any rate why not keep our hard
earned shekels in circulation
among our own children.
* * #
It looks like both Oregon
schools are riding for a fall.
These are pinchy days and there
just isn’t enough money to keep
up the kind of a front that used
to be taken for granted. Maybe
it just isn’t possible to pull col
legiate athletics out of the fires
of “big business.” But it ought
to be worth a try. We’ve just
driven a couple of graduate
managers gray - haired asking
them to keep Oregon on a map
that it didn't belong on.
Pretty soon there will just be a
hole in the ground where Oregon
used to be, unless it gets back to
solid earth. There seems to be just
one way to keep the athletic pro
gram from blowing sky-high, and
that’s to put Oregon teams in the
kind of competition they can af
ford.
Here's looking forward to the
1940 grid classic between the
green-clad warriors of Oregon and
the howling Bear-cats of Willam
ette university!
Washington saved the nation,
Lincoln preserved it, and Ford put
it on wheels.
MAY WE SUGGEST
DON’T COUNT ON
FISHERMAN’S LUCK
—to find your lost
articles.
—to get that ride to
Portland for the
game.
—to see that the rest
of the students know
that you can type
out their term papers.

Scoring Drive
Beaver Star Needs But
16 Points for Record;
Has Two Games to
Turn Trick
Wally Palmberg, who has paced
northern division scorers all year,
stands today just 16 points behind
a new conference record, and has
two games in which to turn the
trick. Palmberg scored 14 points
Saturday night in the last game of
the Oregon-Oregon State series, to
bring his total to 161 points, 15 be
hind the scoring record of 176 set
by Bobby “Goose” Galer of Wash
ington last year.
The Beaver flash faces a tough
battle against the Huskies this
week, all of whom have sworn to
hold the honor of their former
teammate. If Palmberg can break
away from the Husky horde which
will be shadowing him in this
weekend’s series he will have
earned the gonfalon, because Hec
Edmundson is expected to have at
least a couple of men between Wal
ly and the basket most of the
time.
In second place is Ed Loverich.
Washington, with 124 points. Cap
tain Ralph Bishop, also of Wash
ington, is in third position with 123
counters and Chuck Wagner, still
another Husky, is fourth with 114
points.
Sammy Liebow'itz, colorful Duck
forward, leads the local scorers
with 83 points. He is in ninth
place.

Waskee Calls
Tennis Players
Varsity Tournament Will
Be Started Soon; 16
Men to Be Picked
A varsity tennis tournament
will be started within two weeks,
according to an announcement
made yesterday by Paul R. Wash
ke, tennis coach.
Sixteen men will be selected to
entjf the tournament and the re
sult will temporarily automatical
ly rank the first eight men of the
, team, said VVashke.
All candidates for both the var
sity and freshman teams are ad
vised by Washke to start private
practice before the start of spring
term.
Last year the tennis team had a
successful season, losing only to
Washington, Pacific northwest
champions. Tom Mountain and
John Economus won the northwest
doubles championship.
Letter winners back from last
year's team are John Economus,
Jim Lewis, Norman Winslow, and
Cosgrove LaBarre. Last year's
frosh players who will be out for
the varsity arc Larry Crane, Jack
Stafford, Jack Crawford, Chuck
Eaton, William Zimmerman, and
George Wilson.
New students who will be out for
the team include Lauren Buel, Al
lan Finke, and Harrison Winston.
Norman Winslow won the var
sity tournament held fall term and
Worth Chaney, also a candidate
for this year’s team, was runner
up. John Economus is captain of
the team.
Golfers? First Call
All varsity golf candidates have
been requested by Tom Stoddard,
coach, to report to the upstairs
class room at McArthur court at 4
o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
II Duce says Italians need room
for expansion. Maybe he could buy
a little plot of ground somewhere
with the money he is using to arm
and train soldiers for his African
expedition.
Prominent Players Fill Roles
In rOutward Bound9
With several prominent Univer
sity players doing roles which they
have hoped for many years to play,
“Outward Bound,” sensational
mystical drama, went into rehear
sal today after Ottilie Turnbull
Seybolt, director, had completed
selection of the cast.
Headed by Horace W. Robinson,
instructor in dramatics, who as
Tom Prior will play the leading
role, and supported by Mary Ben
nett, well known Eugene actress
as Mrs. Midget, the more promis
ing talent of the University dra
matics department will join forces
to make “Outward Bound" one of
Guild hall's “best remembered”
plays. The play itself is different
from the usual run of better
dramas in situation, atmosphere
and characteristizations. The mood
of the piece is set as the charac
ters gradually approach the reali
zation that the ship on which they
are passengers has no particular
destination. It is merely “Outward
Bound.”

Duck Mermen
Beat Huskies
Cop Co-title
Medica Wins 2 Events,
Drops 100-Yd. Dash
To Jim Hnrd
The University of Oregon's crack
swimming squad became co-cham
pions of the Pacific coast when
they overwhelmed the Washington
Huskies 4S to 36 in Gerlinger pool
Saturday afternoon.
Two new Pacific coast records
were established by the Ducks in
the torrid meet. Jim Hurd of Ore
gon edged out Jack Medica of
Washington in the 100 yard free
style, but was forced to set a new
record of :54.4 in this event. Vic
Smith of Oregon State held the
old record of :55.4.
The Webfoots closed the meet by
establishing a new time of 3:13.8
in the 300 medley relay. Jim Reed
and Hoskins of Washington swam
the backstroke in a dead heat.
Then Chuck Reed and Gene Caddy,
the Husky ace who had previously
set a new Northwest breast stroke
mark in the meet renewed their
battle. This was also a dead heat.
In the last event of the relay Hurd
beat Harvey of Washington by 15
feet to better the old time of Stan
ford by five seconds.
Jack Medica, the Washington
flash, broke the old pool record in
the 440 event when he swam the
distance in 5:09.
The Duck mermen took four
first places in the individual com
petition and both relays, while the
Huskies got the other three. Chil
ton and Bert Meyers won the div
ing for Oregon.
Gerlinger was jammed with
people and many were turned from
the gates. The Northwest confer
ence meet will be held in Gerlinger
pool on April 29.
Summary:
400 yard free style relay—won
by Oregon (Scroggins, Hoffman,
Sexton and J. Reed). Time, 4:11.4.
200 yard breast stroke won by
Caddy (W), C. Reed (O) second,
Erickson (W) third. Time, 2:40.

Oregon Meets Idaho
Tonight In Twlight
Of Conference Play
Duck Cindermen
To Hold Relays
Three Teams to Compete
In Interclass Relays;
Five Events Listed
Colonel Bill’s Oregon cindermen
will compete Saturday in the first
interclass relays on Hayward track.
In the meet there will be three
teams representing the sophomore,
junior, and the combined fresh
man and senior classes.
The freshmen and seniors are
running together because the
small number of seniors in the
squad makes it too difficult for
them to compete with the large
number of candidates in the other
classes. So the seniors will bolster
the immature freshmen.
Five events will be run:
440-yard relay, each man to run
110 yards.
880-yard relay, each man to run
220 yards.
Mile relay, each man to run 440
yards.
Distance medley, 220, 440, 880,
and mile.
Sprint medley, 110, 110, 320, and
440.
This afternoon tracksters of the
senior and freshman classes will
meet on the field to select their
team. The frosh will be aided on
the team by seniors Shoemake,
Scharpf, Patterson, Lindgren, an.!
Bryant.
Part of the cinder track is still
out of use; therefore Bill Hay
ward has still been putting his men
through several fast 220-yard runs
each afternoon instead of distance
running. However, in a day or
two, the oval should be in first
class condition.
New Pacific coast record.
Diving—won by Chilton (O),
Meyers (O) second, Marshall tW)
third. 130.22 points.
220 yard free style—won by
Medica (W), Sexton (O) second,
Scroggins (O) third. Time, 2:23.4.
300 yard medley relay—won by
Oregon (J. Reed, C. Reed, Hurd).
Time, 3:13.8. New Pacific coast
record.

Grenadiers Under - dogs
For Vandal, Cougar
Series in Invasion of
Inland Empire
It will be the beginning of the
end for northern division basket
ball when Oregon's hoopsters
square off against Idaho at Mos
cow tonight.
Four games face the Webfoots this
week, but after Saturday night it’s
all over. Idaho will play host to
Howard Hobson and his crew again
tomorrow night and Friday and
Saturday the Ducks will tackle the
Cougars of Washington State at
Pullman.
Coach Hobson and 10 players,
accompanied by student manager
Jack Campbell, left on the Inland
Empire trip late yesterday after
noon . Players going were Dave
Silver, Chuck Patterson, Rollie
Rourke, Budd Jones, Johnny Lewis,
Willie Jones, Ken Purdy, Sam Lie
bovvitz, Ray Jewell, and Chief Mc
Lean. Bill Courtney, who has suf
fered from illness and injury the
past week, and Wayne Scott, who
has a bad leg, were left at home.
With their miscroscopic mathe
matical chance for second place
gone and only a forlorn hope for
third place remaining, the Ducks
are almost certain to end the sea
son in fourth. Washington State,
occupant of third at present, is
even with the boards with seven
wins and as many losses, while
Oregon has won only four games
and has dropped eight.
Due to upset wins over the Uni
versity of Washington, both Idaho
and Washington State will rule as
favorites over the Webfoots. The
Vandals fell before Oregon twice
early in the season, 61 to 29, and
45 to 41. The Washington State
series here was split, with Oregon
capturing the first tilt, 42 to 35,
and the Cougars winning the
second night out, 51 to 40. Both of
the Inland Empire squads have im
proved since their appearance here.
Probable starting lineup for
Idaho tonight will be Bert Larson
and Bill Katsilometes at forwards,
Don Johnson at center, and Wally
Geraghty and Merle Fisher at
guards.
