> THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL In any race, be it in basketball or mumbly-peg, there comes a turning point. On some one game or series of games rests the key to the championship. It may come early—it may come late. Usually it comes weeks be fore the end of the season. This weekend, as it looks from this far from infallible viewpoint, is likely to be that turning point in northern division basketball. * s|« * ^ All three contenders — Oregon, Washington, and Washington State —will don fighting togs, glue eyes on the. distant gonfalon, and hoop it up tonight. Another session of same tomorrow, and we laymen will doubtless know a lot more about just which of us will feast our eyes upon Mr. Luisetti and his gang a month hence. Our own sophomore Webfoots provide a big local angle to the situation in their series with Idaho here. Up at Seattle, however, is the biggest blow. Washington and Washington State duel in the Puget Sound pavilion and the ser ies will go a long way toward de-1 ciding the donnybrook. i * * * \ Two straight wins for Wash ington State over the Huskies, and the Cougars will be sitting in a handsome position. They'll retire, in such event, to their Palouse bailiwick with five games left to play, four of these five at home, and the other only nine miles away, at Moscow. If Washington should conk the Cougars twice it won’t be so.bad. The Huskies still have a tough and they also have a little enter taining to do at Seattle—against our dark horse Ducks. “Aw, do you really Ihink Idaho can beat us?” Around the campus the past few days has flittered that innocent but dangerous query. Answer, friends, is a very em phatic yes. The Vandals can beat the Webfoots. They’ve lest seven straight, but their gamc3 have all been close, and the fireworks may i pop tonight or tomorrow. A On the other hand, Oregon ought to win. The Ducks rate a definite edge over Idaho on paper. They beat the Vandals twice up at Mos cow. Orides, Kappas Win Girls’Games Susan Campbell Downed By Orides 22-14; Kap pas Tip Hendricks In the fastest, best played game of the girls’ intramural tourna ^ ment, flashy Orides I hoopsters downed the lighting Susan Camp bell sextet yesterday, 22-14. The two teams, potentially strongest in the league, tied in last year's finals, and, with several of the same members in the line-up, were both fighting for a win. Sue Moshberger led the haliers' attack with deceptive one - handed shots and smooth team play. Orides lived up to their boast of the best defense in the league, con sistently breaking up Susan Camp bell plays. Outstanding at guard was Gert Branthover, who held Moshberger to 9 points. Lillian Schaffer for the independents also scored 9 points to tie with Mosh berger for scoring honors. Summary: Orides I (22) (14) Susans Huston, 5 .F 9, Moshberger i I \Seeley. 8 .F.

Fitch; Annual Emerald Intramural All-Star Team Is Selected Duck Mermen Stage Season’s First Practice Mike Hoyman Pleaded With Showing of Men In Season's Opening Intra-Squad Event By CECE WALDEN The University of Oregon’s var sity swimming team went through its first “dress rehearsal” in Ger iinger pool Wednesday night, un der the watchful eyes of Coach Mike Hoyman. The evening's program included all swimming events for 1937. The intra-squad meet was run off in much the same style as a regular meet, with the squad members competing against each other in most of the events. Hoy mail Judges Coach Hoyman acted in the cap acity of a judge and official for the meet. No times were given but at the completion of the meet Hoy man expressed himself as being well pleased with the performance of the mermen. The meet began with the 300 yard medley relay. L. Hoffman, Ed Lafferty and Conklin made up the team, which swam without com petition. Hoffman began the event, swimming the backstroke. He was followed by ‘Lafferty in the breast stroke, and Conklin finished up with free-style strokes. Levy, Sexton Vie Jack Levy and Harold Sexton competed against each other in the 220-yard free style event. This event is 11 laps the length of the pool. Sexton led the first nine laps, but in the finishing spring Levy furiously battled into a dead heat with Sexton. Both swimmers show ed fine form and good conditbn. The third event of the evening was the fifty yard free style race. Jim Hurd and Leonard Scroggins competed, with Hurd setting the pace and crossing the finish line about three strokes in front of Scroggins. Myers, Chilton Dive A fine diving exhibition was given by the Webfoot's two div ing champions, Bert Myers and Bob Chilton. Both men showed im proved form and together they scored between 105 and 110 points. Hoyman acted as judge for this event. The two divers each made ten dives and when the points were added it was found that the two had made the same number. Jimmy Smith and Jim Hurd competed in the 100-yard free style in the next race. The first three laps of this event were fairly even, but in the final sprint Hurd forged ahead to win. Troland Wins In the 150-yard backstroke, Cliff Troland gained a lead over Leon ard Scroggins after the first lap and maintained it throughout the race. One of the best races of the eve ning was the 200-yard breast stroke, in which Chuck Reed was har'd pressed to win a victory over Ralph Lafferty, frosh swimmer. Stuart, Coleman, Reed, and Laf ferty competed' in this race. Not until the sixth lap of the race war, there any difference to be noted in the swimmers. In the sixth lap Reed pulled ahead and seemed to have the race well in hand, but Lafferty began a sprint and Reed nosed him out by a hand’s length. Stuart and Coleman finished in that order. Levy Solos Jack Levy swam a solo 440-yard free style, and finished with a fine sprint. Last event of the evening was the 400-yard free style relay in which Hurd, Smith, Sexton and Scroggins unofficially broke the Northwest record held by Oregon State in that event. This combina-; tion is expected to win the event in competition. Another such meet is scheduled ; for next Saturday afternoon. This meet will be run off exactly the same as a collegiate meet, with all its eoler and fine exhibitions. Visit ors are welcomed to come and see the swimmers in action. HUFFAKER GIVES TALK C. L.

Shy Comet Tutor Mum, Refuses to Be Quoted Sitting in his picturesque office in the old dispensary shack, its walls covered with pictures of past glories in athletic fields, Donald Anthony Casciato, attired in his customary rough tweeds, briar pipe punctuating his kindly face, and gently stroking a giant mastiff lying quietly at his feet, after much persuasion gave out a few details of the coming handball and volleyball campaigns, in which he, the dean of intramural coaches, is entering teams. Casciato, modest almost to the point of bashfulness, was high in the praise ot members or ms suc cessful hoop squad, which is being mentioned as a possible contender for the crown held by Knox col lege, several years back, for the number of games lost in one sea son. “My Comets of the recent intra mural casaba campaign,” said Cas ciato yesterday, “have turned their talents from the maple floors to the less vigorous, but just as im portant, fields of handball and vol leyball. They are self-conceited, I mean conceded, favorites to cop both titles. These Comet squads are not lacking any of the color and glamour that made them so popular with the basketball follow ers, and will line up the same sparkling players that turned in such phenomenal performances in the recent campaign. “The two midget hoop guards, ‘Terrible Tom’ De Freitas and ‘Bombing Bob’ Albi — who, as guards on a basketball team didn’t receive much credit this last sea son—are being groomed for lead ing roles in the Comet attack,” added the shy mentor. "Our featured performer in the coming campaigns will be ‘How ard the Horrible’ Overback, who is connected with me in this Oregana racket.

Warren will take the following ten men on the trip: Ted Sarpola, John Dick, Stan Short, Matt Pava lunas, Wellington Quinn, Bob Blenkinsop, Jim Jones, A1 Krietz, Paul Jackson, and Burton Bur roughs. Face Union Oil The frosh, victorious in nine out of ten starts, will face some of the toughest competition of the season on this trip. The Texaco Oilers are the top quintet in their part of the state, being composed of former high school and several college stars. The game at Astoria against Union Oil on Saturday night will be a homecoming for both Warren and his star forward, Ted Sarpola. This is probably the hardest con test the frosh will participate in all season. Union Oil holds one vic tory over the Oregon varsity in a pre-season game and is considered the best independent outfit in the state. Pavalunas Doubtful The frosh are all in excellent condition with the exception of Matt Pavalunas, first string guard, who is suffering from a pulled muscle in his foot and is a doubt ful starter. In his place will prob ably be Paul Jackson, who will team with Ted Sarpola, John Dick, Stan Short, and Bob Blenkinsop as the opening five. In their 10 games to date the frosh have averaged 43 points to their opponents’ 31. Leading the individual scoring is Dick, the big center, who has tallied 91 points to date. Only three points behind comes lanky Ted Sarpola with 89.

Alpha hall put on a giant-killer act when they downed Sigma hall, defending champs, 15-12, 10-15, and 15-13. Sigma was unable to come through in the right places and lost the first game by a nar row margin. In the second tilt, af ter trailing 10-6, they put on a spree that netted than 9 straight points and the game. In the decid ing battle, the scoring was close throughout the game and errors by Sigma cost them the game. Demo Chrones, chunky Alpha halier was outstanding for his team, executing many effective kill shots. Ed Robbins and Joe Green were the leading players for Sig ma. Casciato’s Comets broke into the win column when they upset the Chi Psis, 15-12, 2-15, and 15-9. The first session was a close tilt but in the second, the Comet attack col lapsed and the Chi Psis nearly swamped them. In the third game, the Comets revived their fire and won, 15-9. “Terrible Tom" De Frietas was the outstanding player of the game. Sigma Chi experienced little dif ficulty in taking its first game from the DUs, 15-5, but the Sweet hearts were forced to their best efforts to nose out the second 15-13. “Happy” Valley and Ralph Amato led the Sigma Chi attack. The Phi Delts were hard pressed to win their opening encounter from the Yeomen, 16-14, but found less difficulty in the second, win ning it by a 15-7 score. Ed Strohecker was outstanding for the Phi Delts and Hal Draper turned in a nice game for the Yeo men. Two other scheduled games were forfeited. SAE won by default from Zeta hall and Gamma hall took a free game when the Camp bell Soupers failed to appear. iBiiiiiBiiiiBiiiaiiiiaiiiaiiiiiBiiiaiiiiaiiiiHiijiaiH | CHICKEN DINNER 25c | m served Sundays at £ m 907 Hilyard JJ | Hoard $17 per month „ ^JllimilllUI!IIBIIIIimillW!IIMI!IIIBIIIIIW!IIIWIIIIW!IIIBW CONCERT The ASIJO fall term bonus attraction.

You’re probably right in yowling that This-puss should be at forward, and That puss should be first string center, and all the other things you are going to say. But it is impossible to pick everyone, and the Emerald all-star is not offered as a final infallible judgment, but merely the opinion of the scribes that sat through all the games in the donut league— and that is deserving of honorable mention itself. And the scribes are better quali fied to pick the team because they not only saw old Whosis-puss when he was throwing them in from every angle, but also saw him when he handled the ball like a hot potato and couldn't hit his Stetson when it was on his head. In other words they saw a lot of the boys. Aggressive Outfit Now, to rush to the defense of our first team.
