f Warren to Reduce Size of Frosh Squad Ducklings Work Out With Varsity; Show Good Form Rounding rapidly into shape foi a strenuous schedule of games with leading high schools and in dependent teams, the freshman basketball squad will be reduced to a workable size of some 15 play ers by the end of the week, said Coach "Honest John" Warren, portly mentor of the yearlings. hrearly 50 men turned out orig inally for freshman practice, but two cuts in the squad have reduced it to 25. Warren believes that 15 is the maximum number that can be handled satisfactorily. Outstanding men expected to earn their spurs in freshman play include Don Mabee, all-state for ward from McMinnville; Earl H Gus says: APPY New Year CAMPUS SHOE SHINE Across from Sigma Chi 'Goal-a-Minute' Duck Hoop Squad Ready For WSC Cougars Hobson Crew Takes Eleven Pre-Season Contests by 'Comfortable' Margins; Will Open Look Game Here Friday If pre-conference scores indicated anything more than just sports writers’ hopes, the University of Oregon basketcers would have the Coast championship clinched. With remarkable “goal-a-minute” finesse, the Hobson crew has taken in its stride 11 straight games by overwhelming scores. Wil lamette, Union Oil, Astoria, Multnomah club, UCLA, and Portland university have all fallen before the relentless barrage of baskets tossed by the Webfoots’ fast breaking quintet.

Warren’s squad, already given a taste of stiff competition by prac tice with the varsity, is looked upon as the best in years, and the rotund frosh coach said he would be satisfied with nothing less than a “clean sweep of the season.” A schedule of frosh games will be released later.

Dahlke and Nelson Gone The Cougars, minus the services of their stellar key men of last year. Bill Dahlke and Ivar Nelson, are almost an untried team, having played only a handful of minor tussles. However, the Washington Staters, never a dark horse, are considered to be the “team to beat" for the title. The brothers Carlson, two fast stepping boys who pepper the basket from anywhere on the floor, are now veterans and are looked on as the nucleus of the 1938 aggregation. In all, Washington State has at least five lettermen returning for this season’s battles. In addition to the Carlsons, Coach Friel relies on Jack Kosich, A1 Hooper, and Ed Kerpa. Other promising men include Jack Jennings, who threatens to run a close second to Oregon's Slim Wintermute in height, and Bill Chase, sophomore forward. Against the formidable Cougar five, Hgbbie Hobson will probably ! pit Slim Wintermute at center, | Laddie Gale and Bob Hardy at for wards and Wally Johansen and Bobby Anet at guards. Big Dave Silver, pressed for his position which he held so firmly last sea son by Hardy, has been benched for injuries but will probably be able to see some action. An 11-game warm-up series has provided Hobson with a chance to use Matt Pavalunas and Ford Mul len to good advantage and another Astorian, Ted Sarpola, aggressive and offensively dangerous forward. The games at the Igloo are slat ed to begin at 7:30 o’clock. Review of Northwestern Division Sport Year Show Ducks Near Top Position The passing year may have been unsuccessful as far as business, peace, and football are concerned, but in almost every other sport University of Oregon teams completed highly successful seasons. Heading the list of championships won stand baseball, golf, and swimming, in each of which Webfoot teams came home with north west titles. In rifle shooting the title held is national. Closely following comes basketball, which ended with a triplicate tie for the northwest conference—Oregon, Washing and WSC. In track George Varoff's world’s record pole-vaulting clinches the list of titles which passed into the hands of Webfeet during 1937. Riflemen National Champs Attaining first place in national competition was the achievement of Harvey Blythe’s sharp-shooting ROTC cadets, who completed their matchs with the coveted Hearst trophy. Sparking the team was Del Bjork, graduating captain. Jack Law, Bill Gieseke, and Stan Warren who are eligible to com pete again this year, are a few of those who helped bring back the national rating for the second time in three years. Mike Hoyma n's unbeatable swimmers added their fourth title to the list of remarkable wins. They were victorious in both dual and conference meet competition. Graduation took many of the stars, including diving champion Chilton, Jim Reed, and Jim Hurd. Oregon diamond stars batted the horsehide for another champion ship last spring term when they beat out the favored Washington Staters with a six-game winning streak in the last of the season. for Comfort and Style . . .

Stellar pitching by “Chic” Sayles and able leadership of Captain John Lewis brought another suc cess story to Hobson’s boys. Nearly as successful was Hobson in basketball. Winning seven games and losing ^five the Web foots tied for the championship. Oregon swept the series with Ore gon State, lost only one to Idaho in a surprising upset, and split with Washington and Washington State. Drawing a bye in the play off, the Webfeet slipped before Washington State, to take second place. Led by Sid Milligan, the golf team took its share of dual meets and capped their season by taking the tournament title at Seattle. Milligan, who coached and cap tained the winning Webfoots, also made a creditable record for him self in amateur golfing circles. Paul Washke's tennis players, led by diminutive John Economus, number one of the squad, won every dual meet except one with OSC which ended up as a tie. In conference play they came in sec ond. Crane, Eaton, and Zimmer man were mainstays of the net squad. Prowess in track was displayed by other of Colonel Hayward's men besides Varoff, who set a world’s record in the Boston indow meet, when he went over the standard at 14 feet 4's inches. In the Paci fic coast conference meet, although the Webfoots did not take a high position in team standing, Holland captured the discus throw, Foskett placed well in the shot-put, and McGatighey got points in distance events. “Squeak" Lloyd completed his career with good performances in broad jumpi sprints and the high jump.

It’s the best in smoking quality. "Luckies suit my throat, too, as well as my taste. Even after crying out bids 7 hours a day, Luckies never bother my throat in the least.” (Reason: the exclu sive "Toasting” process expels certain irritants found in all tobacco.) "In every section of the Tobacco Belt where I auctioneer,” Mr. Cooper adds,"I’ve noticed tobacco men smoking Luckies.” Are you benefiting by the experience of the tobacco experts?... Sworn records show that among independent tobacco experts, Luckies have twice, yes—twice, as many exclusive smokers as have all other cigarettes combined.
