SELLING OF TAGS TO FINANCE SWIMMER SUGGESTED BY SCRIBE ❖ Quacks By TOM McCALL Apropos of the old name guessing game, we're thinking of a prominent Oregon athlete whose initials are J. H. He’s a swimmer who has never been defeated in the United States. He's the outstanding tank sprinter on the Pacific coast. In four meets this year he has started in 10 individual events and has won a like number of firsts to score 50 points for the Aquaducks. He was the anchor man for the Oregon relay team that broke the 300 yard Pacific coast medley record against Washington last Saturday. He is the present holder of the Pacific coast 100 yard free style records in both 60 and 75 foot tanks. IN THIS YEAR OF OLYMPIC TRYOUTS HE WILL LIKELY SIT IN EUGENE WHILE MEN WHO HAVEN’T HIS ABILITY WILL REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES IN GERMANY AND ALL FOR THE LACK OF SLIGHTLY OVER 200 SEMOLIONS. * Jji Sport FUNDS TO SEND HURD TO BIG MEETS LACKING $200 NEEDED FOR TRIP Ladies and gents, if you can’t guess now to whom the initials belong, I might say that “there is no hay in the loft.” Of course there are no other swimmers on the coast that have hung up the records that Jim Hurd has this year. In every one of Hurd’s mark shattering achievements he was never pressed by the opposition. Heaven only knows what times the powerful Aquaduck would have registered had he been forced to use whip and spur. It’s this lack of stiff competition that has Coach Mike Hoyman worried over his protege’s Olympic future. Coach Hoyman avers that it is imperative that Hurd participate against the best free stylists in the land before he enters the actual Olympic tryouts. “The meets that will bring Jim up against the brand of splasher that will force him to the limit are the National Inter collegiates at the Yale pool March 27 and 28, and the NAAU Indoor Championships, which are to be held April 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Chicago. Mike went on to relate that both spalshes could be taken in on one trip, all expenses of which would not exceed $225. “He won’t go anywhere in the Olympics, however, unless we can get him back to the two Eastern meets.” Now that Mike has left the office, it should be in order to mention the years that he has worked to develop several men for the 1936 Olympics. Here the games are at hand, and he has his winners. Sending the whole crew back East would be a financial impossibility. There is not enough cash to even send one man. In fact, thereis no money. The funds that the ASUO allotted to finance the present successful swimming season are exhausted. Coach Hoyman has lowered his sights. He intimated in his con versation that he would be well satisfied if just one of his stars, namely Jim Hurd, could have every aid toward preparing himself for the tryouts. Mike has most certainly done his share, the graduate man ager's office and the executive council have not shirked their duty, Jim Hurd is in perfect shape for the battle. Whose turn is it now to do something? The students and faculty of the University of Oregon. They came through a couple of years ago and sent the Webfoot dash bullet, Paul Star, to the track nationals in Chicago by means of revenue taken in on a specially declared “tag day.” Bits of paper were sold for 25 cents each on every corner by Order of the O men, and a sufficient sum was raised in short order. Again the Order of the O could sell, supported by the speakers committee, Skull and Dagger, and the Pan-Hellenic and Inter fraternity and interdorm councils, and again the University could send out a representative who would bring words of commendation to Oregon. But action must be united and quick. If Hurd is going he must entrain before exam week is oxer. Let's get to work and eliminate that “if.”—(Hurry!! Call old Mac at 313, and we’ll whip the boy on the cast bound in no time.)

One of the most im portant things a leader must have, according to Gieseke, is enthusi asm. Without this it is hard to go far.

From the list of sparkling indi viduals who have pranced up and down the various maple floors in the past two months the Emerald has endeavored to pick the cream of the crop for its annual all-star aggregation. As is always the case with all-star teams, competition is keen and many are the howls from readers who disagree. The Emer ald fears not, however, and here ventures to put forth its choices for first and' second quintets. Two Places Certain Two places on any northern di vision all-star, if not on any all coast, are nailed down with rail road spikes. Critics are unani mouslyacclaiming Oregon State's Wally Palmberg and Washington’s Bob Egge as two of the greatest hoopsters ever to chuck the leather sphere toward the backboard. Palmberg and Egge can’t be beaten, and far be it from the Em erald to dispute their prowess. Needless to say, the will-o’-the wisp scoring demon from Astoria and the floor genius of the Husk ies are unanimous choices for for ward and guard positions respec tively. Palmberg, who scored 19 points and broke the all-time last night, and Egge, whose mag nificent ball-handling, passing, and feeding are in a large way respon sible for Washington’s title, can be ranked with the great basketball stars of all time. Palmberg, espec ially, will go down in history along side such names as Swede Wester gren, Gordon Ridings, and Eddie Durno. Wagner Outstanding The other three positions are as debatable as the aforementioned two are not. However, Chuck Wagner's work in the games with Oregon here are just a sample of what he has done all season, and it’s hard to see how anyone can keep him out of a forward posi tion as a running mate to Palm berg. His unerring long shot ac curacy, his clever floor play, and his ball handling are hard to over look. At center consensus of Emerald opinion places Oregon's own Chuck Patterson. Under the backboards lanky “Pat” is unstoppable, and his floor play and ball handling are outstanding as well. bod Bergstrom, steady, rename, never flustered captain of Oregon State’s fighting Beavers draws the remaining spot on team one. Berg strom’s consistent, inspirational floor play and his constant feeding gives him the nod over several other good guards. Crowded out of guard positions by Bergstrom and the incompara ble Egge°are Sammy Liebowitz of Oregon and Cliff Folen of Oregon State, the former the greatest principles of both forms of dance will be shown. The program will be about one hour long. Nearly everyone taking dancing this term will participate. No admittance will be charged and anyone interested is cordially in vited to attend. Ducklings Select Tough Opponents For All-Star Team Toughest competition in the nine high schools encountered this sea son by John Warren's frogh bas keteers was drafted into the first frosh opponent all-star team ever picked at the University. In selecting the lads to make the outstanding opposition squad, the Ducklings did not consider mem bers of the Oregon State Rooks or an independent teams met during the season’s play. Two Astoria and two Salem high school men were selected on the yearling team which was made up of the following players: Forwards — Phil Salstrom, Salem; Ted Sarpola, Astoria; Ray Lewis, Medford; Tommy Hansen, Franklin high, Portland. Center—Henry Kokka, Astoria. Guards — Otto Skopil, Salem; Vernon Moore, Tillamook; Victor Reginato, Klamath Falls; Bubb Spalinger, Oakridge; Doug Caren, Eugene. stylist in the loop and the latter one of the best scorers and back board men. They take the second team guard posts. Also left out is little Wally Geraghty of Idaho, of ficial all-northern division choice last season. Geraghty was out of several games and did not hit his stride, but was nevertheleess very much in the running for all-star honors.. Bishop on Second Five The second-team center spot goes to Ralph Bishop of Washing ton by close decision over Oregon State's Earl Conkling. Ivar Nelson of Washington State is not far be hind. Captain Dutch Holstinc of Wash ington State and speedy Ed Lov erich of Washington have the run ner-up forward positions clinched. Holstine's clever one-handed push shots and his inspiring floor play make him a standout, while Lov erich is second only to Palmberg in scoring ability. Sigma Delta Chi Honors Eric Allen Journalists Present Gift to Dean at Surprise Dinner Friday Evening Members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, honored Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism with a fare well surprise dinner last night at the College Side. Dean Allen leaves shortly after examinations this month to travel and study in Ger many and Austria. John W. Anderson, managing editor of the Eugene Morning News, and Elbert Bede, represent ing editors of the state, wished Dean Allen a happy trip and were certain that he would be heartily welcomed when he returns next fall. Robert Lucas, editor of the Em erald, presided. On behalf of the members of Sigma Delta Chi, he presented to Dean Allen a diary containing space for a daily ac count of his trip. Lucas also read letters and telegrams from various newspapermen and editors through out the state who were unable to be present at the dinner. ■k, PARAMOUNT THEATRE BEAUTIFUL ■ PORTLAND.

For a whole term Oregon's track squad has been pointing to this showdown, which will prove which class has the cream of some of the best track talent on the Pacific coast. Thirty-seven men will compete in the 22 races that make up the five events of the meet. The com bined senior and fershman classes have the most entrants, numbering 15, whereas the sophomore and junior classes each have 11 men in the running. 't’he coalition of the frosh and the seniors gave that team too much of an advantage over the other two teams, so some of the yearlings were drafted into the other classes. The sophomores will suffer the loss of Reg Brady, quick starting quarter-miler, who is down with the flu. Distances Cut Wise Colonel Bill Hayward, with the welfare of his boys in mind, has cut down some of the dis tances, lest his loyal proteges over do themselves at the expense of future meets.

WALDORF Paint Co. 1038 Willamette Phone 1963 PalmbergSeores 18 Counters for New Conference Record Foloii and Conkling Out On Fouls Breaks OSC Second Half Lead; Last Battle Tonight Washington’s mighty Husky basketeers clinched the northern division championship last night by outlasting the bitterly battling Beavers of Oregon State in a fur ious scramble at Seattle, 39 to 30. Wally Palmberg, magnificent sparkplug of all Beaver plays, ran up 18 points and galloped to a new all-time northern division scoring record of 178 points, but Wally couldn't compete alone with all the big guns of Washington. He had plenty of help on the floor, but the scoring burden was left entire ly up to the phantom Astorian and he couldn’t quite quell the Mala nuites single-handed. Conkling, Folen Out Oregon State was in the game fighting until the final minutes and had a lead as late as five minutes after the start of the last half, but when Cliff Folen and Earl Conkling, two of Slats Gill’s main offensive cogs, went out on personal fouls, the Beavers could not keep up the pace. Palmberg, too, was banished via the rule in fraction route late in the proceed ings, but Wally had already ac complished all one human being coidd. He has another game to night in which to increase his record, which now surpasses that set twp seasons ago by Bobby Galer by two points, and there is no telling to what monstrous pro portions he may raise his total. Tonight's game will be a kings-x as far as championships are con cerned, for Washington has its trip to California and a play-off with Southern California or Stanford all sewed up. Last night’s crowd poured into every nook anil cranny of the huge Seattle pavilion and many fans were turned away. Beavers llolil Own Thirteen of Palmberg’s points came in a nip-and-tuck first half in which the Beavers fully held their own. The willowy Astorian put on his scoring pants at the very outset, after a field goal by Ralph Bishop, Washington’s lead ing point collector for the night with 19, and a charity toss by Ed Loverich had made it 3 to 0 for the Huskies. Palmberg dashed in, grabbed a pass, and swished the hemp with a push one-hander off the backboard. A one-hander by Wagner and a foul shot by Bishop gave Wash ington a 6-to-2 advantage, but Palmberg holed another field basket, this time from the foul mark, and then Hub Tuttle took Bergstorm's pass and wafted it in to tie the count. C'ount Knotted at 11 Palmberg holed the first of hi3 six free throws at this juncture, , but Wagner retaliated with a field ;goal. Bergstorm hit a free shot, and Bishop turned the same trick for Washington to give the Hus kies a 9-to-8 advantage. Palmberg flitted by several pursuers and caged from under the hoop and then added a point on Egge’s foul on the play. Wagner potted a cripple to knot the tally at 11. Loverich gave Washington a lead with a foul shot and then the Huskies pulled three points in front when the same Loverich holed a clever one-hander from the foul line after Wagner’s pass. Palmberg struck again on a dribble-in, making it 14 to 13, and Conkling sent Oregon State ahead with a lay-in pivot shot on Palm berg’s pass. Egge fouled Palmberg and the unguardable Beaver star calmly dropped his shot to make it 16 to 14. 20 to 18 at Half Lovericli’s free throw and Mc Kinstry’s field goal gave Wasing ton a lead again and Bishop made it 20 to 16 with a free throw, but back came the ubiquitous Palm berg with a lay-in of Conkling’s pass. It was 20 to 18 for Washing ton and thus the count stood at half time. A beautiful long bucket by Conkling tied the count as the final period opened, and then Palmberg dribbled in for a field goal that tied the scoring record.
