THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Good news in liberal portion; poured from the doors of Port land's Multnomah hotel the othei night. Northern division gradual* managers, including out own Ansi Cornell, were gathered for a con fab, and the austere gentlemen saw fit to provide the conference with the first full slate of spring sports since way back when. Spring sports have long beer neglected in these parts. For a year or two they were virtually extinct. One season there wasn't even a northern division baseball schedule, and that same year, '33 there was no minor sport competi tion at all. * * * Little by little, inch by inch, baseball, track, and their minor broilers, tennis and golf, came back. Now, at last, they all have complete slates in the same sea son. The northern division track meet is scheduled for Seattle on May 22. The tennis meet will come to Oregon State and its brand new courts at Corvallis. Golf will be at Seattle May 29. Along with the unfortunate de cline of spring sports was the fall of swimming. The splash pastime slipped to the bottom of the pool along about ’33, but, like the rest, it has boomed back. Last season Oregon won the coast swimming title, but Oregon State had no aquatic aggregation. Now the Beavers are back “in the swim” and the Webfoots will meet them twice this winter. The northern division swimming meet is slated for Pullman on March 27. Speaking of swimming, Mike Hoyman has been doing a grand job, considering everything, in get ting together any sort of an aqua tic crew at all. Why a swimming crew that is defending a coast championship can t have a pool of its own is something painfully difficult to fathom. Work on converting the old gym into a swimming pool was started months and months ago. But it no sooner was started than it was stopped. There’s still no pool, and the mermen have to splash around in Gerlinger when ever they get a chance. New York basketball 'scribes have drowned their tears since the Stanford invasion and arc now plugging Long Island U. again. The Long Island outfit, it seems, has trimmed Duquesne and some body else and again is “the great est college basketball team in the world.” You can't teach the metropolis it doesn’t lead the world on the maple boards in one season how ever, so let’s forget about it. Here, however, are some interesting fig ures on Stanford’s giant-killing tour. To 31r. Orval Hopkins, who dishes out your Hops, Skips, and •Jumps, I’m indebted for this hit of research. The Indians, says Mr. Hopkins, ran up an average score of 5S points per game in seven eastern starts. And it was a pay ing venture, for an average of 8500 spectators witnessed their games. They won all seven. * * * Basketball is a game in which height, not heft, is at a premium. However, lots of leading football players double on the shining boards. Just at random, take a look at the all-Americans playing college basketball. There's Larry Kelly of Yale; Sammy Baugh, Tex as Christian; Andy Uram, Minne sota; Andy Bashrak, North Caro lina, and Bob Herwig, California. And that’s the merest beginning. Gene Shields, Oregon’s football line coach, bemoaned the fact the other day that more of the husky gridders don't get out on the court Shields says it’s trie best winter training exercise they can find.

J|; Phi Belts Trounce Alpha in B League Title Defense Kappa Sigs, Dells, Chi Psis, Fijis, SPE’s Win B Loop Games SPE Beef Trust of Beef Trusts Bounces Boys From Zeta Hall; ATOs Beat Sigma, 30-2 By BILL NORENE The Phi Delta started the de fense of their B league title with a decisive 49-to-9 win over Alpha hall yesterday afternoon. Bill Regan and George Schwei ger led the winners with 15 and 10 points respectively. The Phi Delts performed very smoothly, with no individual star. They functioned as a good team should and could probably take plenty of the A teams in the donut league. Lacklen Stands Out Although Jess Lacklen scored only four points, he played good defensive ball and chalked up many assists. Ineffective shooting was the cause of the downfall of the boys from Alpha, although, at that, they didn't get many shots. The Phi Delts led at the half, 26 to 4.

Anderson was the standout of the game with his shooting, pass ing, and work under the back board. The Hotelmen's defense was a little over par as they kept Sig ma from scoring a single field goal. Harry Weston and Jack Hay also turned in good games for the ATOs. The Hotelmen led at the half, 16-to-0. Summary: ATO B (30) (2) Sigma B Berry, 8 .F. Hall Bay, 6 .F.

SPE B 26, ZETA B 3 Zeta hall was literally blasted off the court yesterday by a tor nado- averaging 220 pounds to the man that came cut of the SPE house to establish itself as one of the leading contenders for the Phi Delts’ B league crown. The score was 26 to 3. That the SPEs used somewhat unorthodox tactics is beside the point. The SPEs won. To illustrate the tactics, at one time no less than six men were on the floor; once somebody tried to block one of Chan Berry’s shots, so Chan stuck a hand in the lad’s stomach and shot anyway; an other time Chan became perturbed and tried rather a sloppy head lock, but he was caught. However, don’t get the idea that Chan was the only one. Another Zeta boy got in the way of Nello Giovannini, , who simply lowered his shoulder j and continued blithely on his way. There was one shining light in j the SPE offense and that was two J ton Cliff Morris, center, who ran I up 10 points to lead all scorers. 'The big boy really looked good or. occasions. All in all, the SPEs were simply a re-creation of Buck Baileys Beefy Angels of recent years. Summary: SPE B (26) (3) Zeta Hall B Rowe.F. Amato Berry, 6 F. . . 1, Kimball Morris, 10 C .

Starting with a bang, the Kappa Sigs, with Hallnen hitting consist ently, held a 10-to-3 advantage al the end of the first quarter. Bui the Abba Dabba defense tightened and the Kappa Sigs were held tc one bucket while the Dabbas wen collecting 6 points to make the score 12 to 9, Kappa Sigs, wher the teams left the floor for the rest period. Third Period Close The third quarter was featured by close checking by both squads and foul tosses by Wade ant Simpson, Kappa Sigs, were the only counters made. The Kappa Sig defense proved to be tough in the final canto, and the Dabbas were held to one field goal. Hallnen with 7 points garnered individual scoring honors.

FIJIS B 21, DELT B 8 After battling on almost even terms for three quarters, the Delt defensive bulwarks collapsed and the Fiji B hoopers rolled on to a 21-to-8 win. Neither team was able to dent the hoop effectively in the first canto, and this period ended with the score tied, 2 to 2. In the second quarter the Fijfs poured in two more buckets while the Delts were adding a gift toss, and the half ended 6 to 3, Fijis. With Hoyt, hard-running guard, supplying the offensive spark, the Fijis ran up a 13-to-7 advantage at the end of the third period. Dropping three buckets in the final canto, one a swishing how itzer from the side court, Hoyt took the individual scoring honors with 11 counters. Summary: Fiji B (31) (8) Delt B Mehl, 5 .F.

CHI PSI B 33, DU B 4 With Wild Bill Foskett handling the casaba with the same skill he uses on the 16-pound ball, the Chi Psi B team romped to an easy 33-to-4 victory over a weak DU B outfit. Foskett didn't have his weather eye tuned in the first half and his team held only an 8-to-2 advantage at the end of the second quarter. With the help of little Bobby Winslow, whom Foskett could hold in one hand, the Lodgers flipped the melon in from every corner and even from the middle. The DUs managed to cage another field goal to make the final count 33 to 4. Foskett accounted for 15, while Winslow tossed in 8 for the Lodg ers. . Summary: % Chi Psi B (33) DL' B (4) McClung, 5 .F.

Subscriptions only 83.00 per year. 1 Purdy’s Shot Gives Oregon 35-34 Victory (Continued from page one) lead when Conkling pushed one in without opposition. Lewis sank a prayer shot from mid-floor to tie 10 to 10. Merryman took a long pass from Kolberg to run the Beavers into the lead. Lewis evened with a pass from Anet. Silver got a gift, and Oregos moved into a 14-to-13 lead. With only four minutes left to go and Oregon in the lead, 15 to 14, Tuttle dribbled through to put the Beav ers in the lead. Lewis evened it with a free toss, but Kolberg, Mer ryman, and Conkling grabbed off two points each to put them in a half-time lead, 21 to 16. Gale Fouls Merryman As the second canto opened, Gale fouled Merryman, who sank the shot. Merryman then started tc run wild, and before the Ducks got their footing ran the lead to 27 tc 18 for the Staters. The "Driving Ducks,’’ driving but ineffective, tightened up and slapped the lid over the Oregor State kettle. Johnson, who had re placed Courtney at the half snapped one through which led tc Oregon’s scoring build-up. Gale on a field goal and Lewis on a free throw sent the tally to 23 to 29. Merryman then walked through the entire Oregon team twice to push two successive throws through the bucket. Webfoots Drive Again Again the Webfoots put on a scoring drive, with Purdy opening with a nifty from mid-floor. Silver added one point to make the rally 28 to 33. Johansen added two more, and Urgel Wintermute made it 30 to 33 on a pass from Anet. Kolberg went out on fouls, and Wintermute scored one. With but a minute to play, Purdy sank the counter that tied the game. Win termute’s try at a foul shot failed. If successful, it would have given Oregon the lead. Tuttle scored on a foul which put Anet out, and Oregon State had the lead, 34 to 33, with only five seconds left. Wintermute grabbed the ball from the referee and sent it spinning through the air to Purdy, standing in mid-floor. Purdy stopped, tossed, and the ball dropped through without ticking the rim. Purdy tripped and fell on his face. A second later the game was over. Merryman Leads Art Merryman, Oregon State forward, led all scoring for both teams with eight field goals and five free throws for a total of 21 points. Tuttle scored eight of the other Beaver counters. Silver, who piled up 32 points in two games against Washington State, failed to collect a field goal, but he dropped six free throws. Purdy’s three field goals tied him with Silver at 6 points for Oregon's scoring lead. A total of 36 fouls were called on Oregon State, and four Beavers —Merryman, Conkling, Kolberg, and Lyman—left the game on fouls. Anet fouled out for the Web foots. Summary: Oregon (35) Lewis, f .
