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. It ought to be worth seeing.

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.

points. Following in the scoring
coulmn was Ed Loverich with
