PINK Lemon-Aid By JOHN PINK There is a saying that a fish is no good out of water. So a mer man doesn’t do himself much good running around the campus in the slush and muck, getting to prac tice only twice or three times a week. Oregon had a champion squad last year, not because the fellows were natural swimmers and could go out and swim a 02 second hundred any time they wanted to, but for the simple rea son that they had the facilities to practice, practice, practice. So with several outstanding men gone, and a practically green squad to whip into shape, Coach Mike Hoyman would probably be working his squad harder this year than last. But he isn’t, be cause his Duck mermen don’t get much benefit out of flailing the ! ozone, between bi-weekly practice j sessions. Swimmers, mare so than other athletes, have to go through a long period of loosening up. Al most any sport that a swimmer participates in between seasons tightens up some muscles that must be loosened again, before he can be in the beat of condi tion. And this takes months of training, practice and supervis ion. A swimmer, when he starts his competitive season must be absolutely “loose as a goose.” Relaxation in the water is an other phase that is acquired only after continued effort. So with other squads on the coast having been practicing for two, three, and even four months already, the followers of the Web foot aqua-ducks shouldn't be look ing forward to anything in the way of phenomena, from this year's practice-starved splashers. Reports from Oregon State indi cate that that school, so long lack ing anything that remotely re sembled a swimming team, has been hard at work for several months and will be out for the old stuff when they match waves with the Ducks. But anyhow Hoy man's homeless halibut are doing the best they can. Send the Emerald to your friends. !

Yeomen 36; Zeta 8 The Yeomen wound up their con tribution to intramural basketball by swamping a hapless Zeta hall team, 36 to 8, yesterday. The independents scored almost at will throughout the game. Zetas were unable Wo score in the first quarter while the Yeomen breezed to a 13 to 0 lead. Erwin Elder. Jake Fisher and Len Hufford were the big guns of the Yeomen at tack. In the second period, the Zeta hall boys managed to break the ice when Phil Jansrud bucketed a howitzer from mid-court and Shel by Golden flipped a left hander in from the corner. Half time score was IS to 4. Elder and Fisher renewed the attack for the Yeomen and ran up a third period score of 26 to 6. Jansrud potted a cripple for the only Zeta points in the quarter.

Campbell Forfeits Campbell Co-op failed to show up and forfeited their game to the Kappa Sigs. Hull is Odds (Continued from page one) just in slip form, and the bushes will not mature for several years — but they're valuable.” In sharp contrast to the report of the floor committee, that, “the floor will be in perfect condition for formal dancing shoes, and will be clean enough to sit on,” Tony Yturri, of the publicity committee, who has suddenly turned reformer, has announced, “In keeping with the air of formality which wc are trying to promote, there will be no sitting on the floor—not even to have the parties that make the law school dances what they are.” Get a shake at TAYLOKii.—adv, Theta Cliis Cop Thriller From Tough Omegas; Gamma Tops Phi Psi; Pi Kaps Beat Canard By ELBERT HAWKINS , An aggressive gang of Theta Chis tossed two baskets into the net in the last minute of play to nose out a 15 to 12 victory over the Omega hall hoopers in an in tramural thriller yesterday. The tilt was a hard-fought don neybrook throughout, with never more than three points separating the two quintets. Bill McKenzie, scrappy Theta Chi guard, was on the heaving end of both last sec ond buckets. The rugged Omega quintet took a. first quarter lead of 2 to 0 on a beautiful cne-handed hook shot from near the foul line by Johnny Rutz, center. Fred Loback and Paulen Kaseberg potted field goals in the second period to give the Theta Chis a 5 to 4 half-time lead. The same pair teamed up again in the fourth quarter to give their team a 9 to 6 advantage, the larg est margin of the fray. Score at the three-quarter mark was 7 to 6 for the winners. Johnny Rutz, Omega hall center, paced the scor ers with six points.

Pi Kappa 9, Canard Morrie Ward, smooth working Pi Kappa forward, tossed a basket in the last three seconds of play to aid his mates in nosing out a fight ing Canard quintet 9 to 7. The fray was one of the lowest scoring tilts of the season, the Pi Kaps coming from behind after trailing 6 to 3 at half time. A1 Finke, Pi Kappa center, scored on a stool pigeon play soon after the fourth quarter opened to tie the score at 7 all after a long uphill fight. The opening of the last period found Canard still leading 6 to 5, but the scrappy Pi Kaps steadily improving were able to connect for the two winning baskets. Finke led the scoring with five points, and Lance was second high with four. Summary: Pi Kappa Alpha A, 9 Canard A, 7 Olsen .F. Young Ward, 2.F. 4, Lance Finke, 5 .C. Tichy Sheppard .G.

Gamma 18, Phi Psi 15 The Gamma hall hoop team piled up a huge lead in the early part of the fray against the Phi Kappa Psis, and won by an 18 to 15 count after slowing down in the final half. French Lacau, husky Phi Psi for Defense Work Emphasized in Varsity Drill Light Workout* on Tap For Duck Hoopmen As Hobson Prepares For Husky Tilt Another light workout with em phasis on shooting and defensive work was the diet of the Webfoot basketball squad yesterday after noon. Still absent from regular daily drill was sophomore Bobby Anet, husky hard-driving guard, wko is still suffering from a cold which handicapped him on last week’s invasion of the Inland Em pire. Wally Johansen. Slim Winter mute. and Dave Silver are all bat tling coldsr although their condi tion is not as bad as Anet's. Ore gon's chances against Hec Ed mundson’s invading Washington squad would be materially handi capped if Anet is unable to play when the two teams clash next Monday and Tuesday nights. Experience versus fight will be the virtual story of the coming critical series, which will definitely establish Hobson’s charges as title threats or will crown Washington pennant winner. Vets in Lineup The Huskies will start a senior lineup with the exception of the center post. At forwards they have Loverich and Gannon, both seniors and three year letter win ners. Voelker, husky sophomore, will handle the pivot duties, while teh veterans Bob Egge and Chuck Wagner will hold down the guard posts. Against this lineup of veterans, Howard Hobson, Oregon mentor, will start two and perhaps three sophomores, with still another first year man figuring prominently in his planp'. Dave Sliver, league leading scorer, and either John Lewis or sophomore Wally Johan sen will open at forwards, with sophomore Slim Wintermute at center. Ken Purdy, long-shot dead eye, and Bob Anet are slated to open at guards if the latter is in condition to play. Laddie Gale, sophomore forward and center re placement who suffered a broken finger, may break into the games depending upon the condition of his injured digit. ward, led his team in a one-man assault against the Gamma haliers, and piled up 13 points of his team’s 15 points. The winners got off to a nice start in the opening minutes, flash, ing a superior passing attack to hold a 12 to 3 lead at intermission time. John Patterson and Pete Thorne led the Gamma hall offensive at tack with 8 and 7 points respect ively. Lacau’s 13 points easily gave him high honors for the afternoon.

Oregon State's swimmers, Oregon's mermen, de spite the handicap of no regular pool and the inroads of the flu, are working out in preparation of the annual splash-fest. In former years the Webfoot splashers have taken the measure of the Beavers without much of a struggle. But in the last three years the Beavers have been build ing up a formidable squad, and all indications point, to this as their banner year. The fate of Oregon's chances probably hinges on the outcome of Harold Sexton’s back injury. Sex ton has been able to work out only spasmodically since the start of the season, owing to this injury and the heavy schedule he is car rying. The Ducks have a fairly well balanced squad with particular strength in diving, with Bob Chil ton and Bert Meyers of last year’s team on hand. Chilton is consider ed the best diver in the northwest.

Frosh Hoopers Meet Wendling Team Tonight Ducklings Will Attempt Atonement for 44-43 Defeat; Team Shows Confident Spirit Oregon's Duckling basketeers will travel to Wendling tonight for another crack at the Wendling Cardinals, the only quintet to beat them in seven games this season. The Wendling team, a high class independent outfit, beat Coach Warren's peppy frosh, -14 to 43, two weeks ago, by the margin of a last second free throw. The Duckling mentor yesterday expressed confidence that his hig! scoring yearlings could turn the tables on Wendling in tonight’s fray. The two teams will also prob ably meet a third time in Eugene some time later this season. Work this week has been con fined mainly to polishing the team's offensive guns. Warren is far from pleased with the work his scoring machine showed in the first half of Saturday’s sensational rook game. The frosh were off form in the earlier minutes, and fell behind their determined rivals, trailing them by eight points at half-time. Honest John also'plans on smooth ing out the team's general defen sive play. Ken Shlpldy, forward, is lost to the team through ineligibility. Shipley had played in earlier games with the frosh, but his transfer from another school had not been learned till lately. Dennis Donovan, guard, out since last Wednesday with a hip injury, is probably lost for the season. Both Donovan and Ship ley were in the first line of Duck ling reserves, and will cut a hole in the squad. Tri-Delts, Clii Os Susies, ADPis, In WAA Games Susan Campbell hall will play Alpha Delta Pi, and Delta Delta Delta will meet Chi Omega in the second group of games in the WAA basketball tournament this after noon at 5 o'clock.
