THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Will Wally or won't Wally? Meaning not Wally Simpson, but Wally Palmberg. Rumor yesterday had it that Palmberg won’t pla> 1 for Wagner’s Independents wher the Corvallis all-star outfit clash es with the Webfoots in the hoop opener at the Igloo tonight. An other rumor had it that he will. Apparently there’s nothing much to do but wait and see. Very like ly he won’t, for he didn’t play ir Wagner’s first game with a bunch of pickups at Oregon State. But the will o’ the wisp from the mouth of the Columbia is listed or the team's roster, and that’s enough to give fans hopes of see ing the elusive lad and his demon shooting, dribbling, and passing tonight. Much more important than the Palmberg issue is the fact that Hobby Hobson’s Webfoots will be out there tonight for the first time and we’ll have a chance to see just how they look in action. They’re big enough. They’re fast enough. But they lack experience, They look smoother in practice than last year’s outfit. The Webfoots may look ragged tonight, for fast-breaking teams usually do early in the season. But it’s a dead cinch that they’ll put on an interesting, colorful exhibi tion. Your ASUO book (if you have one) admits you to the Igloo to night, and in that pavilion of a thousand thrills you’ll see the fol lowing: Big Dave Silver and his left handed one-handers. Slim Wintermute and his six feet-eight inches. John Lewis and his smooth ball handling. Bill Courtney and his never-give up spirit. Ken Purdy and his sensational basket slinging. Ray Jewell and his six feet-six inches. Wally Johansen and his classy floor work and style. Bob Anet and his speed and dogged defensive work. And a lot of others. Opposing Hobson’s gang will be a real team, one which ought to make it interesting on both sides. This Wagner’s outfit looks strong on papier, with or without Palm berg. The ex-Beavers pilay here to night. Tomorrow night it will be the ex-Webfoots. Multnomah club, which provides opposition for the Ducks tomorrow, has on its roster Chuck Patterson and Sam Liebow ilz, a pair of gentlemen who ac complished various and sundry things on the shining boards for Oregon last winter. Also with the club will be Car) Lenchitsky, member., of.. Oregon State’s 1983 coast championship team. Other leading clubbers are Jack Eagle, Hal Eustes, and A1 Elkins. Which means another tough game, just the kind of early scason test the Webfoots need. Here's one of the louder laughs of the waning football season. The Stanford Daily is protesting vigorously against the numerous “upstart” bowls which are cutting into the glory and fame of Pasa dena’s Rose Bowl. The Indian stu dent organ cries out that the Rose Bowl is sacred and a few other things, and that the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Sun Bowl are encroaching on its terri It’s New! IT’S MODERN It's the smart place to £0, after dance or show. i;/oi\movr\ Ducks Play Corvallis Team in Hoop Opener Here Tonight Twenty-Five DuckGridmen Earn Letters Callison Recommends Awards for Varsity; Bjork and Farrar Will Receive Blankets Twenty-five Oregon varsity foot ball players have been recommend ed for letter awards by Prink Cal lison, head coach. Awarding of the monograms officially writes f*nn on the 1936 season. Senior members of the team, w.a will receive three-stripe sweater* and “O” blankets are Captain De' Bjork, all-coast tackle, and Ed Far rar, center. Seniors earning sec ond letters were John Engstrom end, and Bob Braddock, halfback Pat Fury, tackle, earned his first award in his final season of play Other second year winners were Lief Jacobsen, Tony Amato, Joe Huston, Vernon Moore, Dale Las selle, Bill Estes, and Kenyon Skin ner. First Letters to 13 Players receiving first letters are John Yerby, Dave Gammon, Leon ard Robertson, Chuck Bracher Tom Blackman, Chan Berry, Nellc Giovanini, Hank Nilsen, Don Ken nedy, Jean Lacau, Jimmy Nichol son, Bill Foskett, and Arleigh Bent ley. This season's Webfoot team had the least success of any since Cal lison began coaching here in 1931 Only two of nine games were won Six were lost and one tied. The team finished in the Pacific coast conference cellar. With only five lettermen gradu ating, prospects for 1937 are much brighter. Twenty stand-out pros pects will be up from John War ren’s frosh. Bjork Greatest Loss Of the men completing their ca reers, Bjork will be the most missed. Fury was understudy to the big Astoria left tackle. With both Bjork and Fury gone, left tackle looms as the most danger ous spot on next season’s team. Braddock will be missed in the backfield, but a host of Duckling backs will lessen the importance of his loss. Engstrom was a tackle a year ago and this season was moved to end. Farrar has alternat ed as a regular at center for three years. All that remains of the season is the annual banquet for the team at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Calli son. tory and taking significance away from it. Which is worthy of a guffaw from practically everyone. The Rose Bowl is a fine intersectional exhibition, no doubt, but it’s no more of a championship affair than any other game. It's the most over emphasized thing in football. * * * Ed Dooley in the Oregon State Barometer comes right out with what seems a rather hold state ment. Says Ed in his “Daily Bull Session”; “Oregon State’s 1937 Football Team will Play in the Pasadena Rose Bowl.” Well, the Beavers don’t lose any body over there, but just how they figure on a hop into the Pasadena enclosure is something your cor respondent can’t fathom. That 18-to-0 win over the Web foots put Oregon State football up in the clouds. ‘Even the Nebraska slaughter didn’t knock the Bea vers down. But the Rose Bowl is something else again. * * * “No more practice until Mon day,’’ announced Honest John War ren to his frosh hoop army Iasi night. The Duckling hopefuls had beer ! duck-walking and exercising initial! a doaen other toll-taking ways foi ! three nights, and no one was hap pier at the sound of W'arren’1 words than they. There’s a great squad of year lings out there, numerically. Th< quality probably isn’t as good a: the quantity, but indications art that Honest John won’t have tc hide his record in any deep dart i closet.

It is a reasonable certainty that the conference will continue the round-robin slate. The Webfoots have games scheduled with all members.

Courtney, Silver, Lewis, Purdy and Jewell to Start Duckling Hoopers Get Needed Rest W ill Resume Workouts on Monday Night Following Four-Day Lay-off The Duckling basketcers took hings easy last night in the ab sence of Coach Warren, and after .ossing the ball around for a half lour, laid off till Monday. Warren’s frosh have been going through some tough capers this week, and the rest came as a much Welcomed luxury to the weary ads. Building for a fast-moving type if ball team, "Honest John" has oeen running his hoopmen through ■some special leg work, using the fuck wadcile as a beginner. Night before last, the routine varied ft little, and the squad tried some ball handling. Picking up a loose ball on the dead run, along with passing while traveling at top speed, were some of the activities the yearling hoop recruits went throiigh. The present grind is expected to cut the number of prospects :lown to nearly what is carried on the season's squad, and a January cut may not be necessary. The dwindling list was down to nearly 35 last night as compared to Mon day’s group of 50 aspirants. Those boasting previous all-star prep ratings now working out in dude Ted Sarpola, ex-Astoria ace; Jake Fisher, Oakridge luminary; John Dick, huge center candidate from The Dalles, and Matt Pava lunas, Washington all-stater. Other leading candidates out this week were Bob Blenkinsop McMinnville; Wimpy Quinn, Grant high of Portland; Neil McLear Marshfield; Ken Shipley, Oswego; A1 Krietz, Commerce high of Port land; Burton Boroughs, Eugene; Jim Jones, San Diego, California; Christy Madeiros, Bristol, Rhode Island, and Paul Jackson, Oakland California. f Meet me at TAY LOU’S. adv. Pre-season Workouts at End; Ex-Oregon State Stars Spark Lineup of Independents Oregon's 1937 varsity basketball team plays its first pre-season game tonight when it meets the powerful Wagners’ Independents of Corvallis on the Igloo court. Opening tip-off is set for 8 o'clock. Students will be admitted on pre sentation of ASUO cards. Spectators will be treated to a colorful fray as the lemon and green-clad Webfoots, whose attack is based on speed, speed, and more speed, tangle with a clever, rugged and smooth independent quintet which will probably be led by Wal ly Palmberg, who last winter gained all-coast, all-American, and about everything honors as a member of the Oregon State Bea vers. Three other ex-Beavers, Cliff Folen and Wilbur Kidder are teamed with the elusive Palmberg, which should make the game seethe with the traditional rivalry spirit. Coach Howard Hobson an nounced his starting lineup last night as John Lewis and Dave Sil ver, forwards; Ray Jewell, center, and Bill Courtney and Ken Purdy, guards. Lewis is a two-year letterman, a stylist on floor work, and the main spring of the Ducks’ passing attack. Southpaw Silver, one handed push shot artist, is expect ed to be the scoring threat in the contest. Jewell, who has taken over tip-off duties due to the ineli gibility of Laddie Gale, is the most improved man on tho squad. Courtney at Guard Courtney, at one guard post, is brainy, a clever ball handler, and his defensive work is of the fly paper school—he literally sticks to his man. A smooth passer and accurate shot, Purdy is rated as the dead eye of the team. Others slated to see action are Wally Johansen, sophomore for ward, member of last year’s year ling team, and before that a stand out at Astoria high; Bobbyb Anet another ex - fisherman and the (Please turn to page four) l Just received a carload of POTATOES No. I s and 2s Come in ami get j ours now!
