Washington State Turns Tables on Webfoots, Winning 42-28 t THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Billy Reinhart aroused the East with his basketball team at George Washington university last winter, and now our Bill is showing the lads back there even more tricks, George Washington has won eight consecutive games and this coming Saturday will go into Mad ison Square to face New York’s be loved Long Island university. Reinhart’s gang, in winning eight in a row, has outscored all but one opponent by at least 20 points. The team holding them to the “low score” triumph was Nebraska, and the tough Cornhuskers, from the basketball hot-bed of the world, were tumbled by a 19-point mar gin. * * * Who do you think is leading Reinhart’s outfit to all these walk aways? None other than a lanky gentleman ..named ..Jack ..Butter worth, who only a year ago was doing his stuff for Oregon Norma! down at Monmouth. Butterworth, whom Reinhart brought to the coast from Indiana, was once ticketed to perform as a W'ebfoot here. Transfer of Rein back to George Washington changed all that. Anyway, the former Wolf ace has been ringing up the’ buckets al most at will back there in what metropolitan writers choose to call the “big time” of basketball. He scored 17 points against St. John’s, which in the hoop sport rates as a major outfit. When Reinhart brought Butter worth to Monmmouth, with him came a midget firebrand named Dave Osborne, who also played two seasons for Oregon normal, and, like Butterworth, was sched uled to transfer to Oregon. My source of information doesn’t list Osborne as a member of Reinhart's first five at George Washington, but it’s a safe bet that the little fellow is back there. He and But terworth were as clever a Da vid-and-Goliath combination as you could find. Incidentally, the teams George Washington has rolled over by those 20-point scores are Johns Hopkins, Marshall, Nebraska, Mount St. Mary's, St. John’s of Brooklyn, Elon, and Wake Forest. Some of these don’t rank so high in football, but several are leading basketball powers. An even break with Washington State on the Cougars’ own floor is all Webfoot followers could have hoped for. Bobby Anet, Silver, Purdy, and the rest of the gang did mighty well to gain a split. This Inland Empire tour is a tough grind, and two wins in the four games are usually satisfac tory. On paper, the Ducks rate an edge over Idaho, but it isn't safe to prophesy about such an unknown quantity as the Vandals. If the lads split at Moscow, they’ll be doing well enough. Idaho has a new coach and a new system of play. Forrest Two good, a pupil of Southern Califor nia's Sam Berry, tutors the Van dals this season, and his proteges held Washington’s vaunted Huskies to close scores at Seattle. Being a disciple of Berry, Twogood proba ably employs a slow, deliberate of fense, made up of set plays. And on their home floor, the Vandals are likely to make those plays stick. Twogood coached freshman bas ketball for eight years at Southern California. He joined the Trojan staff after graduating from the University of Iowa in 1929. Here’s something you may haw known about Twogood, but I’ll bet two cookies you haven’t thought of it. tie’s the same Twogood who for several seasons pitched for Cleve land in the American league. Yep, Mr. Twogood is a baseball ist. He w orked a number of games for the Indians and is at present the property of the Cleveland club. He’ll probably play no more base ball because of an arm injury.

Neither team scored until the last minute of the first quarter, when Steve Anderson, Vern Moore, and Wilson SiegmUnd dropped in cripple shots in rapid succession to place the Betas in the lead, 6 to 0 £or the initial period. LeRoy Mat tingly dropped in a cripple, but the points were nullified because of his travellir^- with the ball. . Following the rest period, the Phi Sigs opened fire when Fetsch and Hobson dropped in cripples, but the attack soon bogged down and the Phi Sigs were unable to score again in the first half. A sucker shot aild a foul toss by Bob Beard completed the scoring for the Betas in the second quarter, bringing half-time score to 9 to 4 for the boys on the millrace. Close Checking Features The third quarter was featured by close checking by both teams. Siegmund managed to pot two for the Betas, while Mattingly tossed in a foul shot for the Phi Sigs. Hobson starred for the Phi Sigs in the final period, when he potted two beautiful pivot shots from the foul line. Siegmund and Moore matched these points by tipping in cripples. The final minute of play was climaxed in a wild-eyed affair. Adams of the Betas was ordered to the bench for unnecessary roughness and the Betas, playing with but four men, managed to stave off many wildly-tossed shots until the final gun sounded. Siegmund led the Beta scoring with nine points, while Hobson topped the Phi Sigs with six count ers. Slim m orv* Bela A (18) (9) Phi Sig A Burnett .F. 2, Fetsch Siegmund, 9.F. 6, Hobson Moore, 4 .C.

Both teams were very wild in shooting and neither scored until the closing minutes of the second quarter. Lyon opened the scoring for the DUs with a cripple which was im mediately matched by Woods of Alpha. Later in the quarter, Woods dropped in another to bring the halftime score to 4 to 2 for Alpha. Sheedy put the DUs ahead early in the third quarter by sinking a foul shot and a cripple but it was soon erased when Shea of Alpha potted one to place Alpha in the lead once more. In the final ses sion Kemler pushed in one for the DUs which once more placed them in the final minute of play. During the wild scramble of the closing moments, Walker of Alpha dropped in a cripple which seemed to put the game on ice, but the un expected happened and Lyon squeezed in a cripple in the final seconds to pull the game out of the fire, 9 to 8.

Friday Marks Resumption of Little Civil War Baby Beavers Reported Strongest in Decade; Ducklings Headed by Ex-All-State Sarpola Freshman hoopers of Oregon State college and the University of Oregon are busily sharpening their artillery this week for a renewal of their annual "little civil war feud. Scene of the first battle will be in Corvallis ■ Friday evening, and the two rivals move down to Mc Arthur court the next night to give local fans a chance to. witnei-y thrill-packed actoin. Oregon’s Ducklings settled down last night to some intense prac tice, following a busy week of ac tion. The frosh have waded through five pre-season games with but one loss, piling up 205 points to 139 for opponents. Tues day's Signal Oil tilt wound up their campaign for tl^e rook series. The Baby Beavers, reputedly the best to represent Oregon State in a decade, have jilayed three games to date, winning all three. How ard- Maple, new rook mentor, is blessed with an outstanding bevy of prep players, including four all state men. He ha3 a trio from last year's Corvallis Spartans, who swept to an easy state championship. Stew Warren, center, and Merle Kruger, and Roy Pflugrad, forwards, are the lads. Tommy Hansen and Jake Hergert, former Portland prep aces, along with Frank Mandic, .stand-out from Los Angeles, are the leading Orange Babes who have seen action at guard posts. John Warren, pessimistic frosh headman, is not without ball play ers, either. Heading his list of all staters is Ted Sarpola, neatest ball handler on the squad, and three times picked at forward on the all state when playing for Astoria. Sarpola has poked 09 points into the hemp in five games this season. Not far behind Sarpola is rangy John Dick, ex-The Dalles hoop man. Pivot-man Dick has dropped in 55 tallies for an 11-point aver age, not far behind the pace set by Laddie Gale, last year’s whirl wind center. Matt Pavalunas, all-state for ward from Raymond, Washington, has been one of the team’s most consistent scorers, and is a classy ball handler besides. Pavalunas has been one of the main cogs in War ren’s Duckling quintet. He was out of most of the Signal Oil game Tuesday recuperating from last week’s bruising encounters. Stan Short, Roseberg’s contribu tion at guard, is not a high scorer, but packs a lot of drive, and is a mainstay off the backboards for the yearlings. Bob Blerikinsop, Dennis Donovan, and Paul Jackson are a trio of other freshmen who have been seeing action in recent games. g(g/SJBi'3JS®3/SJBJSI33/fi®SE®S®5ISI3i5 DON’T COUNT ON FISHERMEN'S LUCK . . . to find your lost ar ticles. to see that the rest of the students know that you can type out their term pa pers .... USE EMERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOK RESULTS ^iSEEEISMEEiSiSiSlEMSSlEi/SEMSISJSlt!^ Idaho Pointing Toward Duck Hoop Series Vamlals in Good Shape After Montana Series; TVogood Works Meii On Floor Plays UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow, Jan. 20.—(Special) — Back from their loss and win at the Uni versity of Montana over the week end, the Idaho Vandals started pointing their attack toward the Oregon Ducks this weekend. The Oregon men split their se ries with Washington State college two weeks ago when the Cougars were making their Oregon inva sion, and played at Pullman on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Washington State series for the Ducks gave Coach Forrest Two good and his men an opportunity to see the Ducks in action. No injuries Listed All of the Idaho men came through the Montana series in good shape, with no injuries re ported. Wild Bill Kramer. Idaho guard, led the scoring for the Ida ho team in both games, netting 12 points in the first and 10 in the second contest. With Oregon having the height in the coming series, Twogood is working his men this week in speedy floor plays with the object of keeping the ball in Idaho's pos session all of the time- not part of the time. Point for Silver Rangy David Silver, Oregon forward, who has set a fast scor ing pace in the conference thus far in the season, will have big Don Johnson to contend with during the Idaho games. Johnson’s main as signment will be to hold Silver scoreless, if possible. In the Wash ington series Lyle Smith, Vandal forward, had the assignment of keeping Chuck Wagner from the basket, with Wagner scoring only two points in the series. Oregon’s lanky six foot eight inch center, Urgel Wintemute, i Cougers Take Lead Early; Lewis, Purdy Stars for Oregon Ducks Begin With 2one Defense; Change as Pullinanites Colineet With Howitzers Washington State’s Cougars slipped into a lead midway through the first half at Pullman last night and held it throughout a hard fought northern division basketball ‘ game to win from Oregon’s Web- 5 foots, 42 to 28. ^ Oregon won the previous night, ' 40 to 36, and last night's Cougar triumph gave the teams an even I split in their four-game series for 1 the season. ‘ Long Ones Connect Hobby Hobson, Oregon coach, opened the game with the same zone defense that was credited with ( success Tuesday. The Cougars, led by Sophomore Cassius Dalquist, opened up with long howitzers half- , way through the first period and the Webfoots shitted to a man-for. ' man defense. i Washington State's inspired crew penetrated that also and went on to pile up a 17-to-8 lead by half time. The Cougars commanded the tip off and’ monopolized the ball at both backboards as the second half started. Big Ivar Nelson began connecting from under the basket, and Jack Friel’s home team raced I the count to 35 to 14. Purdy Holes Three Ken Purdy saved the Ducks from who is rated as one of the best pivot men in the league, will be bothered during the Idaho series by Roland Winter, the boy on the Vandal squad with the big hands Winter has shown his ability in shadowing his men in both the Montana and Washington games and will have his big hands f'ull in scampering about the court after Wintermute. Twogood will make no predic tions as to the starters in the Fri day and Saturday games, stating, “It will depend on how the boys | look in practice this week."
