Oregon Ties for Top as Washington Downs Cougars, 37-34 The Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Hammer and tongs hardly express what may happen at Cor vallis tonight. They'll go at it even harder than that. Oregon State has dropped two in a row to ns Ducks, and the Beavers are sore. Like cornered wildcats, you can be sure, the disciples of Amory T. Gill will entrench themselves in their bailiwick and scrap to the bitter end. It may be any kind of ball game, of course. Nobody knows beforehand when things like that Merriwell of Ken Purdy's a month ago will be reeled off for the benefit of posterity. But. if you ever can forecast thrills ahead of time, tonight is as good a bet as any. First great battle of the original Civil war—yep, the one not even your gran’pappy rec’lects much about—was at a dump called Fort Sumpter. Not being a historian, I don’t know what came next. But there was Gettysburg, Bull Run, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, and various and sundry other skirmishes. Point, if you haven’t discovered any excuse for this military diatribe, is that when Oregon and Oregon State hoop it up between the buckets the boys are prone to call the thing ‘‘civil war.” Perfectly all right with your commentator. But each indi vidual battle deserves a name. For instance, you might call that 35-to-34 fuss, first of this year’s war, Gettysburg. When the Webfoots poured over the poor Beavers here, you might have named it Sherman’s march to the sea or some such. And then you could tack a fitting name on tonight’s battle. Help! Help! Calling all students of American history. Let’s get these civil wars distinguished so we can tell ’em apart. « * * # Oregon Slate's troops will be materially weakened for to night s embroglio, latest notes in the enemy press tell us. Elmer Kolberg, the big blocking football fullback who does a nice job of defending on a basketball floor, is already a casualty, and through no fault of Oregon shrapnel. Big blond Elmer has poison oak, and lie'll be out of the lineup tonight, supposedly. It would be a pity to see poor IMr. Kolberg drop the ball and spoil one of those ring-around the-rosy passing things just because lie had to stop and scratch his poison oak. # * * # In Kolberg’s place will be the lad with the title, Sir Howard Watson Lyman. Again information is unofficial, but that’s the report. And Mr. Lyman, a regular before an injury a while back and one of a long line of Lymans at Oregon State, is a capable gentleman when handling the casaba is the chore of the day. Just because the Beavers lost to.Idaho doesn’t make ’em softies. They also ran all over Idaho. Oregon also lost to Idaho. As usual, there’ll be no dope. If Oregon State is to win from the Ducks this season and avoid a blank m the ‘‘civil war” thing, tonight is the logical point. However, our gang has previously proved its superiority. Expect anything. * # # With eagle eyes they watch. Meaning the Webfoot coaches as they till their optics with the sights up at the Igloo this week. Stars of tomorrow are scintillating at this Lane county 13 league tournament, make no mistake about it. Tonight's the last of it. Last season the final night was an evening of darn good entertainment. Jim Watts and his Thur ston Foxes edged out Pleasant Hill by one point in the boys’ final and Oakridge and Mohawk girls practically pulled each other’s hair in a free-for-all feminine wind-up. Tonight similar struggles are on the docket. If you can’t make it to Corvallis, why not take a squint at the B leagues? Watch out, Mr. Slim Wintemute. Your altitude honors are in dire danger. And endangering them is no man at all but a gal. Helen (Streamline) Smith, of the colored Roamer girls basketball team stands six feet, eight inches tall, which beats Mr. Wintemute by a full inch. Tuesday night these Roamer girls, who play men’s rules and like the longest floors they can find, will meet Signal Oil of the local city league at the Igloo.

Duck Mermen Debut in OSC Water Today HoymaiTs Dark Horses Will Try lo Smash 400-Yard Free Style Relay Record By JOHN PINK Oregon's 1937 swimming team makes its debut this afternoon at Corvallis when it matches waves with Oregon State's fast-moving mermen. The meet starts at 2:30. For the Webfoots, last year's Northwest champions, it will be the big test. None of the men have swum in competition this year, whereas the Beavers already have the Washington Husky clash un der their belts. The Ducks are this year's dark horses as far as dope goes. They have a potentially strong squad but have been hindered by lack of training facilities during the pre season grind. Hurd Leads Ducks Leading the Webfoot churners will be Jim Hurd, the fifth fastest free style swimmer in the United States. Hurd is undefeated on the coast in the 50 and 100 dashes. Harold Sexton, another undefeated coast star in the 440, will be a strong contender In this event. Swimming against him will be Ted Fisch, sensational sophomore on the Beaver squad, who is consider ed a promising performer. The meet will also see Oregon’s two star performers in the diving event, Bert Meyers and Bob Chil ton, flying through the air. Mey ers is the present Northwest div ing champion and Chilton was runner-up to him last year. Relay Team Fast Oregon's 400-yard free style re lay team, which unofficially set a new record in this event last week during practice, is expected to shave off several more seconds when it faces tough competition. The team is composed of Hurd, Sexton, Len Scroggins, and Jimmy Smith. Scroggins is a two-year letterman in free style and back stroke events while this is Smith's first year of competition, he being a sophomore. Chuck Heed, two year back stroke letterman, is Oregon’s strongest bet in this event. Heed has been out of much of the pre season training on account of ill ness but has finally rounded into shape and should give a good ac count of himself.
