THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Oregon State’s Beavers couldn't have hit their hats if they'd worr them over at Corvallis Saturday But if any man, woman, or child believes the men who take order. from Slats Gill will be softies over here this coming Friday, that in dividual would do well to slip his ideas into the nearest waste bas ket before anybody sees them. Never in history has Oregon State dropped four games to the Webfoots in one season, and the Beavers have no intention of doing so now. “Just one more chance" is what they're asking for, and in the Igloo Friday they'll get that chance. * * * Oregon State’s offense didn't function over there, but that was last week. A wily mentor is Mr. Gill and he may, with cooperation of his disciples, have something extremely unpleasant cooked up for Friday p.m. It used to be traditional that Oregon never lost more than two games in a season to Oregon State. Then, in ’33, the Ducks lost all four. Now it’s the Beavers’ turn to feel the sharp edge of a crisp new leaf as it turns over in the book of tradition. But, turn or no turn, there’s no assurance that they’ll feel any pain. -1> * Doing okay all around in the shuffle with Gonzaga the other night was tall Ray Jewell. He’s the most improved man on the Oregon squad, this big blond who used to stand under the back boards for Franklin high in Port land. Jewell not only scored 15 points against the Bulldogs but played a fair floor game in addition. Strong possibility is that he may crash into the lineup against OSC Fri day. With Jewell’s great improve ment, Howard Hobson now has a “big nine” from which to choose instead of only the ballyhooed “big eight.” * * :» Speaking of “big eights,” Gon zaga has just exactly that. Ac cording to Buck Weaver, Bulldog publicity man, who handled the team ..here ..while . Head ..Coach Claude McGrath was enroute back to Spokane on a hurry call, eight men are the entire Bulldog team, not merely the traveling squad. All these basketeers play foot ball for Mike Pecarovich, too, said Weaver after the game. When gridiron chores are over they hustle info hoop togs and try to catch up with the rest cf the school. The Bulldogs, it seems, would have a hard time getting up a good game of hunch. Most publicized basketball play er in years, if not in history, or this coast is Angelo (Hank) Lui setti, Stanford's “magic eye" point piler-upper. Mr. Luisetti himself the Stanford Daily tells us, beg, the scribes to hand out some oi the publicity credit to his team mates. But the 20-point-per-nighi junior is so colorful and so gooc that he crowds his mates far intc the shadows. No matter who wins this nor thern division donnybrook, Hank'l probably be showing his warei somewhere up here sometime next month. Stanford is odds on ir California. Last March Oregor State stopped big Hank more 01 less up at Seattle and kept thi Indians out of the Olympic run ning. This year he'll perform eith er in Seattle, Pullman, or in oui own back yard. And stopping bin even more or less will be quit* some problem for the northern di vision entry. :J: $ # Down in San Francisco the}’r< drumming up one about an argu ment between Stanford Baskethal Coach John Bunn and Stanforc Track Tutor Dink ..Templeton Templeton, it seems, has droppei a gepfle hint that he thinks Hanl Luisetti could do 6 feet, 6 incite: in the high jump this spring it he'e forsake the hoop pavilion for ; bit of jumping practice. Latest reports arc that Bum and Templeton aren't lusisiig a ail over the services of the scin tiiiating scorer. But general opin ion is that Luisetti reall.v could d' something of note in a jumpinj line, were not basketball the mail cream in his coffee. * * * Short ones ...

Alter losing their first volley ball game, 15-13, the Yeomen A team came back to take the next two games and the match 15-8 and 15-4 yesterday. In the first game, the Sigma Nus had a 14-7 lead when the Yeo men began killing their setups and made six points before the Sigma Nus could get the game point. Af ter adding Irwin Elder and Wil Giesieke to their lineup, the Yeo men were the superior team in the | next two games and won easily. Bill Van Dusen was Sigma Nu’s cutstanding player. The Sammie A team beat a fighting Sigma Hall team in two straight games, 15-6 and 15-11 to continue undefeated. It was their third straight win. The first game was a walkaway for the Sammies but the second was a different story. Sigma Hall piled up a six to nothing lead in the second game but the Sammies gradually caught up with them to win 15-11. Vic Rosenfeld and Marc Horen stein starred for the Sammies. In the only other A game played, Alpha Hall ran through the Chi Psis to win in two games, 15-5 and 15-15. The Chi Psis played! the first game with only five men I and were badly organized while Alpha Hall set them up for Mike Crones and Tony Yturri for kills. Keith Osburn was the Chi Psis outstanding player. The Phi Delt B team won two easy games from the Yeomen B team in the only B league game played, 15-4 and 15-8. In the first game the Phi Delts piled up a big lead before the Yeo men got organized to win 15-4. The second game was closer and harder fought but the Phi Delts opened up in the latter part of the game to win easily. The Phi Delt A team, failing to notice on the schedule that both their teams played on the same day, forfeited their A game to Gamma Hall. The Phi Delts had been previously undefeated. The Yeomen and Phi Delts will play the tie in their league off at a later date. The Fiji B team won from Ome ga Hall through forfeit. Varsity Sketches By JOHN PINK BILL COURTNEY “Hobby” had a snazzy guard And what a casaba he could throw, And everywhere that Hobby went This melon-tossing one was sure to go. Which would make old Shake speare turn to poor Yorick and mumble something about modern poetry, but they say that the rimed line is more powerful than prose and the point is -that for six years in three different schools in vari ous parts of the state, Bill Court ney has been dribbling and shoot ing massaging the maple in gen eral—for Howard "Hobby” Hob son. Courtney, the little quarterback, the brain trusters, the always good in a pinch boy, first played under Hobby at Benson Tech, Portland, followed him to Southern Oregon Normal, and is now wearing the laundry of the University, still un der the wing of o' Pappy Hobson. In fact, this scribe wouldn't be surprised if little Bill breaks into a couple of quick choruses of that popular ballad “Old Pap py”—about how he is going to make his puppy happy and stuff, —whenever he goes oqt on the floor. But the point of this narrative I is that Bill Courntey is a member 'of this year’s (your scribe refuses ltd say “driving” or "dashing") | Ducks, and is quite an all-around ; ball player. Standing but 5 feet S (PU'ase turn to page four) Bulldog Goes Home Gale Siegel, who played center for Gonzuga here Monday night, headed back to Spokane along with his teammates, after the game. Oregon trimmed the Bulldogs in a ragged exhibition, 38 to 23.
