PINK
Lemon-Aid
By JOHN PINK
After much wrangling and ar
guing amongst the members of
this sport staff it has finally defi
nitely been proven that the Uni
versity of Idaho's home town, Mos
cow, is only nine miles from Pull
man, so tonight after travelling
those nine miles (and we still don't
believe it) the Dashing Ducks open
their four game series with the
potato plucking Vandals.
Now these Vandals are primed
to gain a little lame in their
own behalf being tired of rely
ing on the lowly spud to give
their state a bit of a reputation.
True they have been defeated
twice by the Washington Hus
kies in their only conference
games to date but this series
with Oregon is for them as well
as the Ducks a more or less cru
cial one. One loss for the Van
dals will put them pretty much
out of the running because in
the remaining 13 games on their
schedule they will be allowed but
one more loss. For it has been
proven time and again that a
team losing more than four
games hasn’t a chance of riding
on the gravy train as conference
champion.
And as for the Duckies (as Billy
Stepp says it) it is practically the
same story. They already have two
setbacks in five starts so a loss of
even one game will put them in
the spot of having to go through
the rest of the season, which in
cludes four games with Washing
ton and three more with battling
Beavers, with the “bogey” of one
more defeat pushing .them off the
apple cart. So with both outfits
realizing this fact your scribe
would like to be travelling those
nine miles between Pullman and
Moscow.
For the boys and gals that
like their basketball fast, fur
ious, rough, full of arch-rivalry,
crammed with color and in gen
eral the stuff that keeps you
gnawing your fingernails ail even
ing, it will be callable for them
tonight at Corvallis and tomor
row night here on the Igloo
floor when the junior Ducks and
the baby Beavers resume their
annual brawling in the little
Civil War. These games have
never been noted for their ex
cellent brand of basketball but
you will have to go to Donney
brook, in the Irish Free State,
to find any group of husky
young gentlemen that like to
mix it up, rough it up, push
each other around more than
these yearling calves from Cor
vallis and our waddling Duck
lings.
The Rooks have 'a team that is
reputed to be the best in a decade,
and will be out to avenge the three
defeats handed them last year by
John Warren’s proteges. The
Ducklings of this year seem to be
on a par with the usual run of
yearling teams in the past. But
pre-season records and stuff like
that don't figure when those
young Ducks smell fresh baby
Beaver meat in the offing. Inci
dentally, keep your eye on lanky
Ted Sarpola the Duckling hot shot
who does everything but eat the
casaba when he is out there
gangling around.
While speaking of brawls it
might be well to mention here
the growing tendency of the
Donut league players to emu
late the striking longshoremen
and bounce each other around
in their games. There is a lot of
beefing going on (hat the games
are getting too rough. It seems
that the referees are getting
too lenient in handing out fouls.
This Donut stuff is supposed to
promote good will amongst the
different houses on the campus
but if rough housing keeps up
there is going to be a lot more
than good will promoted. The
referees should elamp down on
these youngsters that like the
feel of good human flesh bounc
ing off their bare shoulders and
shins.
* * »
With all this cold weather, ice
and snow and stuff getting in our
hair, about the furthest thought
from our mind is of the whisper
ing sands and roaring waves of the
ocean, but word has come that
Chuck Reed, the varsity breast
stroker has been appointed head

the extreme dearth of pay shots
up to that time. The final score
was 23 to 4 for Kappa Sigma.
The first quarter was a low scor
ing affair, with Wade, Kipps. Sig,
dropping a field goal for the only
counter. Carter and Wade found
the basket for field goals, Rummel
put in two in quick succession, and
Olcott made a gift throw good to
put the Kappa Sigs in the lead. 11
to 0.

Jones, of Zeta had, opened hos
tilities in the second half, potting
the first field goal for Zeta hall.
Wade came back with two goals,

Zeta. The score at the end of the
third quarter was 19 to 4. Simp

for the Omega hall men.
Phi Sigs Lead at the Half
Half-time score was 9 to 0 for
the Phi Sigs, but they could add
but two points in the second half

SPEs Beat Abba Dabbas

Hapless Delts, 38 to 8:
Hay High Man
By CHUCK TAN SCOYOC
In wliat probably was the most
thrilling game of the current in
tramural seasor:, the Phi Delts
managed to stave off a last second
scoring spree nosing out the Chi
Psis 14 to 13 in a B league clash
yesterday.
Cripple shot.3 by Hay Houghton
and Bill Regan put the Phi Delts
into an early >ead, but it was soon
narrowed by Bill Foskett who lift
ed a free throw and potted a crip
ple. Jess Lacklen dropped in a
foul toss to bring the first quarter
score to 5 tq 3 for the Phi Delts.
Foskett Scores
Foskett opened the fireworks in
the second quarter when he netted
one to tie the count at 5 ail. John
Bauer put the Phi Delts in the
lead again with a field goal and a
free toss but these points were
rapidly matched by Bob Winslow
of the Chi Psis who dropped in two
cripples. Bauer managed to tip
one in just before the gun to give
the Phi Delts a 10 to 9 halftime
lead.
The third period was featured
by wild shooting and neither team
was able to score. Late in the
fourth session, Bauer dumped in a
cripple and followed it with an
other to put the Phi Delts in a
comfortable lead, but not to be
denied, Bill Foskett duplicated the
feat, his second shot dropping
through in the last second of play.
Bauer was high for the Phi Delts
with 9 points as was Foskett for
the Chi Psis with an equal number
of counters.

In First Tilt of Annual
‘Little Civil War’
Oregon's apeecly Duckling quin
tet and the Oregon State Baby
Beavers will clash at Corvallis to
night in the first game of this
year’s “little civil war" series. The
second contest will bo played Sat
urday night in Eugene. Both games
start at 8 o'clock.
The best rook team in years to
grace the Orange stronghold is
awaiting Coach John Warren’s bas
keteers, and reports indicate that
they intend to avenge last year’s
three-out-of-four taken by the
frosh.
Rated About Even
Both teams turned in nice rec
ords in early season games, and in
dications point for some wild bas
ket slinging tonight. Comparative
scores show them to be on a fairly
even par.
Howard Maple's outfit beat Sig
nal Oil of Eugene 30 to 23, recent
ly, and the Ducklings took their
game from the Oilers 40 to 28. The

Here are two of Howard Hob

irosn neat Franklin high ot Port
land by scores of 40 to 22, and 36
to 28, while the Orange Babes beat
Franklin 29 to 11.
Tonight’s tilt should find both
quintets at about full strength.
Frank Mandic, rook guard, may be
out of the game with flu, however.
Oregon’s Stan Short suffered a
broken nose in the Wendling tilt
last week, but has played in three
games since then. Rugged Dennis
Donovan received a hip injury in
Wednesday night’s scrimmage and
probably won't see action against
the rooks.
Honest John has not named his
starting lineup. Probably the same
five that opened the Signal Oil !
game will take the floor tonight.
Ted Sarpola and Bob Blenkinsop at
forward posts, and John Dick at
center are practically certainties.
The energetic Paul Jackson and
Short may hold down the guard
posts. Matt Pavalunas, smooth
playing guard, has been resting
from last week’s bruising game3
although he may start.
Kooks Have Kx-Spnrtans
For the rooks, Howard Maple
has the lengthy Stew Warren, ex-1
Corvallis all-state pivotman. War
ren has not been outjumped in
four games, and is a cinch to start.

Corvallis high team, Merle Krueger

Howard Hobson’s dashing Web
foots wind up their inland empire
trip in Moscow tonight and Satur
day with two games against For
rest Twogood’s deliberate, slow
breaking Idaho Vandals.
Oregon's varsity hoopmen after
splitting their series against Wash
ington State are now a half game
below the Cougars in third place
and desperately needing two vic
tories over Idaho.
Webfoots Are Favored
The booming Webfoots are gen
erally rated favorites to take the
more inexperienced Idaho basket-1
ball tossers, but are expecting the
valiant Vandals to make brilliant
stand on their home court.
Idaho gave Hec Edmundson's
Washington Huskies, conference
champions, a terrific battle in their
opening northern division game
two weeks ago. The Huskies final
ly came through in the second half
to beat them 24-17, and then
trounced them the next night 39
to 22.
Have Delayed Offense
Twogood, new Idaho hoop coach,
hasn’t a wealth of material this
year and his Vandals are still an
unknown quantity, but he has in
stalled a new slow-moving offense
and is expected to cause trouble in
the present championship race.
Leading ball-handlers of the Ida
ho quintet, and main cogs in the
team’s delayed offense are Don
Johnson and Bill Kramer, a couple
of veterans who arc holding forth
at the guard posts.
Kangy Winter at Cpptcr
Roland Winter, 6 foot 2 inch cen
ter, is playing his first season at
the pivot post. Lyle Smith and
Steve Belko, complete Idaho’s
starting quintet.
Coach Hobson will probably send
the same starting quintet out on
the floor tonight that opened the
Washington State games. Slim
