Swede lads we knew so
Westergren much about just a
few short seasons ago. Some are
still prominent in one circle or an
other, but they’re news no longer,
most of them. Their headline days
are yesterdays, hidden in fading
files — and in dust-covered lead
cuts.
For instance, among the thumb
nails was Swede Westergren, con
sidered by many the greatest bas
ketball player in Oregon history.
It’s been ten years since the day
of the Swede. There was Scotty
Milligan, another renowned Web
foot hoopman of a bygone day.
Milligan has enjoyed a lot of
coaching success since his playing
years.
There was Morrie (lied) Roten
berg, another basketeer who did
his shining just a few years ago.
Hank Simons, who rose from the
reserves to inspire a lowly Oregon
team with his howitzers, was an
other. Simons died‘last year.
* * *
Other basketeers, some of more
recent vintage but all in the mem
ory class, were Hank Levoff, Cliff
Horner, Kerm Stevens, Gib Oling
er, Spook Robertson, Jjm Watts,
Cap Roberts and several others. ...
Footballists whom I happened to
notice included George (Speed)
Burnell, backfield flash a decade
ago; George Christensen, now a
professional all-star; Irv Schulz
former line luminary and' later a
freshman coach here; Bobby Rob
inson, who was also a pole vaulter;
Rosy Gagnon, the guard; Pepper
Fepelnjack, the speedboy ball car
rier; Orville (Red) Bailey, the end,
who now coaches at McMinnville
high; Elmer the Great Brown, Ed
Moeller, Bill Bowerman, Howard
Bobbitt, and a host of others.
Opponents are forgotten more
easily than our own fair-haired
lads. As I thumbed through the
lead cuts I ran across such names
as Bill Head, the Oregon State
halfback who put himself in Rip
ley by scoring six touchdowns in
a single game against Pacific.
* * *
Big Ed Lewis, who drank cod
liver oil and set what in 1933 was a
wonderful ..scoring ..record, was
there. Also Skeet O’Connell, King
fish Bailey, Ike, Donin, Humpty
Taylor, Jigger James and so on.
Representing Washington were
such ex-greats as Ned Nelson and
Johnny ..Fuller, . basketeers, and
August Buse, Rebel Bledsoe, and
Paul Jessup in football.
* * *
It’s been only a few years since
these figures were the spice of the
sports pages. Now you seldom
hear about them. They come and
go in an endless parade. Some
times, though, it’s fun to stop and
cast a backward glance.
The midst of a stirring northern
division basketball race may be no
time at all for such discourse. But,
like the faces on the thumbnails in
the drawer, this basketball race
will pass on into history. And, like
the thumbnails, it will always be
interesting.
Senate Defeats
Bill Abolishing
Dr. Kerr’s Office
The Oregon senate Tuesday by
a 16 to 11 vote blasted a bill abol
ishing the office of Dr. W. J. Kerr,
Chancellor Emeritus of the state
system of higher education.
Dr. Kerr's capacity is director
of marketing research. The bill
had previously passed the house,
and would have meant elimination
k of Chancellor Kerr's office.
Those opposing the bill held that
it was a direct blow at the board
of higher education. They stopped
it on the grounds that Dr. Kerr
is performing valuable service in
his present office.

Saturday Afternoon in
Gerlinjser Pool
Victorious in their first test of
the season against OSC last Satur
day, Oregon’s varsity swimming
team has settled down to serious
work in preparation for their next
meeting with the Beavers March 6.
Not entirely satisfied with his
team's showing last week Coach
Mike Hoyman said yesterday, "The
boys will have to show consider
able improvement if they expect
to take the Beavers next week."
Frosh-Varsity Meet
The ..squad ..will ..cap . off ..this
week’s work with a freshman-var
sity meet this Saturday at Ger
linger pool. The meet will be open
to the students and w’ill start at
3 o’clock. For the freshmen it will
be their first opportunity to show
their wares. They have no definite
meets lin’ed up to date.
There are several excellent pros
pects among the yearlings, and
Hoyman is anxious to see what
they can do in competition. The
meet will be held under regular
conference rules, with all events
being run off.
Hurd Swims Well
Oregon's ace sprinter, Jim Hurd,
came through as expected last
week, capturing both the 50 and
100 dashes, giving indications that
he is back in the form that gained
him nationwide recognition last
year. This is Hurd's last year of
varsity competition.
All swimmers are going through
long sessions paddling the board
back and forth in the pool. The
board is used to build up the stom
ach and leg muscles and is one of
the finest conditioners swimmers
utilize. Hoyman has each man
paddle from a quarter to a half
mile on- the board during each
workout.
Varsity
Sketches
By JOHN PINK
KEN PURDY
A ripple runs through the crowd,
crescendos to a roar, the males
howl and the females scream, a
slim young fellow with things over
his knees puts his feet together,
makes a very, unorthodox whip,
or flip, of the wrists and a spin
ning ball arches through the air,—
the crowd silences— the netting
swishes, and gives a little kick as
the same ball caresses it, the
crowd as one roars "the Ace is hot
tonight" and the "Ace," Kenneth
Arthur Purdy by name, trots back
to his position, his mates pat him
on the other end of his pants, and
he grins.
This little drama in one act has
been staged on almost every con
ference floor in the northwest with
the same cast. For "Ace” Purdy is
probably tfie most colorful player
in the loop, and his shot a quick
whip of the wrists with any ap
parent aim—sends an electic cur
rent through the whole crowd.
They gasp, choke and rant, but
their actions are mild compared
to that of opposing teams.
Kenneth is the third senior mem
. ber of this year's hoop team. H<

Duckling Team in Easy
Victory

Averaging a basket every bu sec
onds, two points per minute, John
Warren's rejuvenated ducklings
completely smothered the Halsey
town team on their own floor last
night, posting an 80 to 34 win in
one of the highest scoring clashes
in many seasons.
Starting with a bang the duck
lings were never headed. All man
ner of shots were attempted and
most of them were sunk. The
freshmen apparently stung by their
defeat at the hands of the Rooks
last week spared nothing in the
mad dashes down the floor.
But all the glory was not for
the freshmen as Crow, sharpshoot
ing Halsey player, counted for 21
points to garner the evening high
honors. Close behind, though, was
the duckling one-hand expert, Ted
Sarpola, who dropped in 17.
Every man on the frosh squad
saw action when the game turned
into a rout. This is the eleventh
victory in fourteen starts for War
len's men.
competed for Oregon last year,
coming up from Long Beach J. C.
where he used one of three year's
of conference competition. He is a
geology major and will probably
go rock hunting after graduation.
The more rocks he gets the better,
asserts Purdy.
But don't let the name Ace scare
you off. Your scribe always
thought that someone with that
handle (cinema influence) was a
dark fellow, dressed in a loud suit,
shooting words out the side of his
mouth, swaggering around with a
Tommy gun under his arm, biting
off the ends of two-bit cigars but
Purdy is a nice, smiling young fel
low, would probably go unnoticed
in a crowd of collegers, and he
doesn’t smoke cigars.
Incidentally Kenneth is the only
member on the squad from our
sunny neighboring state.
Friday night will see him in ac
tion for the last time on the local
boards, going against the men
from Oregon State the same ones
he fixed at Corvallis a couple of
weeks ago, with his flusher—that's
a good name for his specialty. And
of his shot Purdy says, “a poor
thing, but mine own.”

In Thrilling Tilt
Springing the season's outstand
ing upset, a hard-playing Kappa
Kappa Gamma sextet edged out
the women’s intramural basketball
championship by a 14 to 13 score
over Orides I.
The contest was bitterly fought
from start to finish with the lead
see-sawing numerous times. Half
time score favored the Kappa co
eds by and 8 to 6 advantage.
Play was rough and ragged at
times, although the fray was thrill
ing despite numerous fouls.
Betty Lou Roberts, speedy Kap
pa forward, came through in the
last minute of play to toss a free
throw, to break a 13 to 13 tie and
give her team its hard earned vic
tory.
Orides Lead Early
The Orides jumped off to a 1
to 0 lead in opening minutes of
play, but saw the score tied when
Marcia Steinhauser holed two field
baskets.
After that opening flurry, the
Orides hit an erratic streak and
failed to contribute the type of
ball shown in previous games.

The Webfoots are still three up

team, and determined to make it
four in a row Friday night at the
Igloo when “civil war" festivities
for this season come to a close.
It was a calm, plodding gang of
Ducks that went through their
paces yesterday afternoon in the
week's final regidar scrimmage.
Coach Hobson has his men point

Lemon-Yellow basketeers are an
ticipating a terrific struggle.

Work on tip-off plays and a
short snappy half hour wc.'kout
between the varsity and super
varsity formed a bulk of yester
day's preparations.
The varsity showed definite im

advantage over the super-varsity.
Speedboy Johnny Lewis, Web

The team's offensive set-plays
